"Sweet dreams littlest wolf" he says.
Klaus walks out of the room and into his bedroom pulling off his shirt and changing into his pajamas when Elijah steps into the room.
"Brother I wish to sleep" Klaus says turning around to face Elijah. His blue eyes tired and weary.
"How long do you plan to keep the mother of your child as a wolf" Elijah asks?
"Until you find a trusted witch to undo the curse. But then again she deserves all the pain she is receiving for trying to steal my child" Klaus says smirking.
"You left her no choice" Elijah says.
"No she had a choice! You all did and you sided against me when in the end it was me who saved all of us! I saved my daughter and I got rid of our Aunt Dahlia. So brother you can try and play the moral role all you want but you are no better than me" Klaus says when he inhales this new scent coming from outside.
He walks over to his balcony opening the doors and stepping out, inhaling his eyes follow the scent until he sees a woman walking alone in the dark. She has a sepia skin complexion and her hair is pinned to the side, the heel of her boot making a loud patting noise when she stops and turns looking up.
There eyes meet for the first time and he is shocked by how subtle her beauty is, she barely looks older than Davina and Rebekah. His leans forward on his hands as he watches her, hearing the blood pumping to her heart. He feels the need to be near her, not to feed off of her but like he does with Hope. Her heart beats calm him, she looks away and continues walking and Klaus shakes his head confused at how strong the pull was to her.
Artemis keeps walking but she can't shake the cold feeling that ran up her spine at the man's hypntoic gaze, it's like she knew him before. But she can not focus on that as she has her own problems arising, she stops at a local diner to see that they are close. She growls and bangs her hands on the metal bars keeping people out, when she moves her hands the bars are dented. Heat rises in her body and she yanks the metal bars open and pushes the wooden door in stalking into the bathroom, she closes the door shut and splashes some water on her face before gripping the edge of the sink and looking up to see her eyes are between a gold and red color.
"What's happening to me" she asks when she cries out in pain as she feels her bones shift and she falls down on her knees. This is the second time that this has happened today, she feels tears brimming in her eyes and tries to control her breathing. The pain stops and she stands up looking in the mirror to see her eyes are now back to their original brown color.
She rushes out of the bathroom and the diner disappearing into the night. These painful experiences and eye changes started a few weeks ago when she got into a fight with her now ex boyfriend in Arizona and she got really mad and almost hit him but hit the wall instead. She stumbles into an alley as rain pours down and hits her skin making her shirt and hair stick to her. Hunger builds up in the pit of her stomach and she digs in her bag pulling out an granola bar ripping it open with her teeth biting down on the chewy grain. She closes her eyes and leans her head back on the wall letting sleep consume her.
She feels herself being lifted and her eyes flutter open to see she is in the arms of a man in a suit and they are walking outside of the building she passed yesterday, he walks inside the building and her instincts sink it to protect herself. She jumps out of his arms rolling over and landing on her feet with her fists raised.
"Calm down I do not wish to harm you" he says with his hands raised.
She growls at him as heat builds in her blood and her fists clenches, her head suddenly feels heavy and she stumbles back holding her head. The man reaches out placing his hand on her shoulder, she grabs his hand pressing his hand back as he hisses in pain. She then sends her hand back making his head go to the side, the guy is swift and raises his hands with force knocking her back.
"I do not wish to fight you" he says.
She runs at him grabbing his jacket and throwing him against the railing of the stairs and he groans before landing with a loud thud on her stomach.
"Enough" a loud voice booms and she turns seeing the guy she seen yesterday stalking towards them. He helps the guy off the floor stand up and looks at her with anger.
"Who are you" she asks?
"This is my house love I ask the questions" he says.
"Don't call me love" she growls.
"Uh uh uh watch your temper or it will lead to your demise" he barks back but is so calm it sends chills down her spine and her mouth shuts instantly like she has no choice but to listen to him.
"Good now that you are quiet. I will ask again. Who are you" he asks?
"Artemis Knight" she speaks hesistantly.
"Well I am Klaus and that is my brother Elijah" he speaks.
"Well Klaus you guys need to learn your manners" Artemis says and in a second she is against the wall with his hand wrapped around her throat as she gasps for air.
"Listen tiny. I am the leader and King here you do not tell me what I will and will not do. I can easily kill you with a flick of my wrist. I have had a rough two days and do not need some disobedient, useless, sassy child to add to it" he growls.
"I am not a child" she hisses scratching his hand which doesn't phase him.
Klaus's eyes flash gold and black veins appear under his eyes as he shows his fangs and leans in close scraping his teeth against her neck inhaling her scent.
"I like your courage to talk back to me even though you are scared" he says running his finger over her neck before looking at her directly in the eyes.
"Brother what do you intend to do with her" Elijah asks?
"Keep her for my entertainment" Klaus says before looking her directly in the eye and releasing her throat as she is losing consciousness.
"You will go upstairs and take a shower and then you will come back down here and clean up" he speaks as his eyes dilate.
"No I won't clean up anything but the shower sounds amazing" she says and pushes his chest sending him flying back a few feet and heading upstairs.
"She can not be compelled" Elijah says.
"Yet she has no vervain in her system and doesn't smell of witch" Klaus says.
"Then what the hell is she" Elijah says.
