Hello! So this is my first AU fic and my newest Klaroline fic– I have written another so if you get a chance please have a look.
I hope you enjoy this, and I know there's a total lack of Klaroline, but that will be coming soon! :D
Klaus's POV
I gave a sigh and looked out onto the view of the sea from the hotel window. Around me were my belongings that I'd been carrying from place to place for the past year.
Life as a wanted criminal was not easy.
I reflected back onto the time when I'd been on the other side of the wanted poster; the man who had tracked down and brought justice to criminals; and now… I was one.
I knew when I pulled the trigger and committed murder that there was no going back, but ultimately I, Niklaus Mikaelson didn't care; I'd gotten even and killed Tyler Lockwood the man who had so ruthlessly taken the life of my brother Henrik. In my mind revenge for my brother was more important than the constant reminder of a life in prison.
When I'd fled my old life I'd altered everything about myself; my appearance, my mind-set and my future. No longer was I the weedy local FBI officer who crumbled under the wrath of my boss, or buckled under the weight of my father's judgement. Now, I was the Niklaus Mikaelson, who travelled the globe, had a ruthless reputation and is an insanely good professional criminal.
I walked back into the penthouse suite which I was currently calling home; I glanced at the news scrolling across the screen of the plasma TV and a sick feeling rushed to my stomach. Playing before me was an interview with Mason Lockwood, who had just come into a large amount of money thanks to his business apparently; the interviewer was asking him how he'd created himself such a successful business from nothing. He mentioned something about loyal staff and a leap of faith which had luckily paid off. I knew that was a bunch of bullshit. The reason Mason Lockwood was loaded was due to heading up a large drugs trade and arms dealings.
I myself was a criminal, but I was pushed to it thanks to Tyler Lockwood and his brother Mason; I'd sought my revenge on Tyler, but I knew that Mason was involved.
As I stared at his smug expression on the large TV I knew that it was time to take him down a peg; to finally get completely even.
It was time for one last job; one last job before I went off the radar forever… and I knew I was going to need some help…
Stefan's POV
I'd received Klaus's call a matter of minutes ago, in which he'd informed me of his plan for one final job.
Klaus and I had been partners in the force, and I knew that when he went he went rogue I had reached a natural ultimatum; it was either him and our friendship, or my career. There was no way I could be a member of the FBI and friends with one of the most wanted criminals. When it came down to it I had chosen Klaus; and it wasn't even a difficult decision. I thought that my strong sense of morals would have gotten in my way; I thought that I would have had some kind of aversion to criminal activities… however… something about the thrill and reward of it seemed to almost turn off my humanity?
Klaus had asked me to contact some loyal acquaintances who I thought could help us successfully carry out this heist.
I pulled my 'business' phone from the draw in the study and brought up my contact list.
I knew straight away that my first call would be to Caroline Forbes; she was as cunning as a fox and looked like a princess, many times had she played a very useful distraction and often the brains behind an operation.
I clicked dial and put the phone to my ear.
"Hey Stef, what's up?"
"We've got a job Caroline; and I know you're going to love it… it's going to be the biggest reward yet…"
"Sounds interesting; who we associating with this time?" She asked curiously.
"The usual lot and…Niklaus Mikaelson" I said with an undertone of dread in my voice, his reputation could often put people off.
"THE Niklaus Mikaelson?!" She screeched down the phone, and I swear I could hear something smashing on the other end of the line.
…I hope you liked this first chapter; please review and follow so I know whether or not to continue…
Thanks!
:D
