This is now labeled as a completed oneshot. To be honest, when I first thought of this idea, I only ever thought of just this opening speech given to Klaus by his sister in a fury. That was all I had and I went from there. I was going to try and force it into a multi-chaptered fic but honestly? I think it works better this way, as a one shot. Sure, maybe I can turn it into a series later but I think I always knew that it was only going to be one chapter, even if I didn't want to admit it to myself.
Continued at end for sake of spoilers.

"You are the only one, the only one, the only one for me.
You are the only one, the only one, the only one.
I am the chosen one, the chosen one, the chosen one for you.
I am the chosen one, I froze your lungs, your breath tells me the truth.
I knew that you knew, I knew that you knew, and he knew it too.
When I walked in the room, what I could have done?
I should've left, yeah I should've went, but I couldn't go.
He was your man, but I am your lie.
I am a slave to these make believe things you say to me.
And I've built this hate machine of broken dreams and the wall did crumble.
I am a slave to these make believe things you say to me.

(It says Hate Machine… for those of you who don't get it… Unless, of course, I'm wrong. Which I highly doubt but still… Hate Machine.)

Did you think I would allow this?
Flashes of Klaus' 'reunion' with his siblings. The audio is distorted.
Did you think I would just… fade away?
The siblings reunite with Esther.
I left you because you overstepped your boundaries.
Icy blue eyes narrow dangerously, quickly darkening into a deep and dark blue.
I told you that I'd come back after you finished your hybrid situation.
Flashes of Klaus… except not him, a different body.
I gave you space to regain your sanity, no matter how much it hurt me.
Klaus in his room, sketching a picture of their family.
What do you do to me?
Flashes of them together. Moans and groans escaping them as they became one.
You stab me in the back… literally.
Mid-moan it goes silent apart from gasping and muffled 'shh' sounds.
Me… out of all of us… you chose me…
"You can't leave me… I need you…"
You do this in some play of insanity, your demented mind twisting my words into a cliché declaration of permanent separation!
Slipping out of the rapidly cooling body, he clothed himself while trembling.
I was going to come back!
Picking up her body, the edges become dark and blurred and glitchy as he carries her out of the room.
Was your mind so blinded by your own paranoia and fear that you'd not even take my word?
Coffin. Cold. Unable to move. Numb. Muffled whispers and unfelt touches.
When have I ever lied to you?!
Please…
When have I ever deceived you?!
… Klaus…
When have I ever not been by your side?!
… Please…
I was the one who protected you from father's lashings!
… Someone…
I was the one who cleaned your wounds and sang you to sleep every night while you feigned strength in front of our siblings!
… Anyone…
I have protected you since our birth, shielding you when we were not even a year old!
…. Help…
You knew that I was the strongest of us both!
… me.
Did you not hear my pleas?
Did you not hear me begging for you?
Did you just ignore my cries for help?
Were you that lost in your own dementia as to sever our bond?
Can you imagine the agony I felt?
150 years…
150 years of my life… gone…
… why….?
…
… why did you do that to me…?
…
…ha…
…
You know what's hilarious, my love?
Despite your maddening attempt to keep me with you for however long it took until you completed this curse…
… Despite you literally fucking me and stabbing me in the back…
… I'm still better than you…
… I AM the eldest of us both…
… I was always the smartest, you know…?
I was always the most determined.
I never gave up, you know this.
It took a lot of time and energy, yes.
However… I did it.
I came back…
… I came back from being daggered…
You were away…
… I awoke in my coffin, unable to breathe with the feel of a wooden dagger through my heart…
I burst out… I pulled out the dagger. I escaped the cellar where you left my body, killing all who stood in my path... I painted the walls with their blood until I was satisfied... Then I left you. With a note painted in blood, of course…
Rot. Rot, my once true love.
Wish to come for me?
Please try.
You will fail.
I'll contact you once you put your ego and fear to the side and truly realize how much of an imbecile you are.
Suffer, my dear.
I didn't go back on my word either…
…
I regained my strength, and managed to regain my footing in Asia before eventually branching out…
… you knew I'd always despised the place due to memories…
… it wasn't until the 1900's that I gave you a message…
Did you make your hybrids yet?
Send notice to our heart and I'll return.
… Short and to the point… you are not an idiot… you understood it…
… I checked on our heart every month for some sort of notice so I could return…
… I'd given you 200 years of solitude so that you could continue this… mission of yours…
… To sever the curse placed on us and become a Hybrid… you knew I never much cared for the idea…
… Yet you took longer than even I anticipated…
… Our bond had been severed by you, years ago when you daggered me…
… It was weak on both ends yet not completely diminished as you'd thought…
… It was severely strained but it just needed time…
… Plenty of time…
… And I was always better with it then you…
… And now I see what you've been up to…
The suspense prevented me from using our bond to see you previously...somehow writing a letter and handing it off to a henchman to be delivered to you kept the...game...interesting...
… What's your excuse…?
… I give you a punishment… you pout and get angry… you search for me… you keep trying to break the curse… you stop the search for me after a while… and now… you have broken the curse… without informing me…
…
… Did time apart really change you that much?
… I sent you letters from time to time …
… Informed you of vague happenings in my life…
… What do I get…?
… Nothing…
…
… Are you… ignoring me….?
No, my love, you are not the one to be ignoring anyone! AFTER WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME? AFTER HOW YOU BETRAYED ME AND CARTED ME AROUND LIKE A TOY FOR YOU TO GROPE AND PLAY WITH, THINKING I WOULDN'T FEEL IT? I FELT EVERY TOUCH YOU GAVE ME AND EVERY WHISPERED WORD YOU GAVE TO ME! DO YOU THINK I LIKED BEING UNABLE TO MOVE?!
DO YOU THINK I ENJOYED FEELING SO HELPLESS?!
DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE ANY RIGHT TO BE CROSS AT ME WHEN YOU WERE THE ONE TO BLAME! I STILL KEPT CONTACT AFTER OUR TIME APART HAD ENDED! DO YOU TRULY THINK I AM THE 'BAD GUY' HERE? DARLING, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO STARTED ALL OF THIS!
YOU MESS UP AND I PUNISH YOU! IT'S HOW IT'S ALWAYS BEEN! I DON'T FUCK UP AND YOU KNOW IT! DO NOT PLAY THE VICTIM CARD WITH ME AND ACT LIKE A HURT DOG! WHO ARE YOU TO IGNORE ME?!
AND NOW I SEE YOU REUNITED WITH OUR FAMILY! SHRUGGING OFF QUESTIONS ABOUT ME, SAYING I WAS AWAY AND WOULD BE BACK WHEN I WAS READY?
AND TO THE CHILDREN GOING AGAINST YOU?! OH, I DIDN'T EVEN EXIST!
YOU KNOW THAT I WILL NOT COME TO YOU UNLESS I GAIN SOME WORD FROM YOU!
SOME SIGN THAT YOU ARE OF SANE MIND!
…
… okay…
… you want me to play the bad guy in the storybook that is your deranged mind…?
…Fine… I'll be the bad guy… I'll break character and come for you… is that what you want, Niklaus…?
Alright… anything for you, my love…
… Prepare yourself…
… I'm coming for you…
… and I do not intend to play nice…

I think it was meant to test out my writing and my ability to test out mood and tone and also test out my ability to give a full story in a new format I never really tried before. And I think you know everything you need to know. Santanna is basically giving a fuck you to Klaus and makes this kind of promise to make him pay. Now, I like the idea of leaving it up to you to decide what happens. Does she forgive him? Does she try and kill him? Is there a war? Who does she ally with? Does she just want the world to rain blood? I have no idea and I never did.
Heh, apparently not writing for months made me a bit more introspective... who knew? Please don't send flames or hate, I am really not in the mood to deal with it. I've decided to leave this up only because I think it can work on it's own and because I DID have a lot of fun writing this.
