Klaus was a enigma, once you thought you knew him he would do a 180 and completely change once again.
No one knew him that well not even his brothers and sister and he would like to keep it that way. He aloud you to know what he wanted you to know nothing more.
"I can't believe Finn is died." Rebecca said her eyes were dark and lost in contemplation over the events of what had happened that night.
"Family always comes first." Klaus heard Finn words as if they were spoken right now and not a 1000 years ago when they were all still human. "Always and forever."
"Good riddance! It was a embarrassment, Rebecca." Klaus replied.
Klaus words brought Rebecca out of her thoughts and back to reality. One were she was hurting for the lose of her brother.
"He was still your brother. Watch you language!" She said forcefully. Unable to believe that the man before her was saying what she heard, the same man that promised that their family always came first. Was he really that big of a monster?
"Very well then. Let us all pray for Finn."
She looked at her brother searching for any sign of grief or regret in his words but all she could hear was sarcasm and she felt her eyes start to water.
"He spent more time laying in a coffin then he did a man. He was a fool in love. He will be better in death." he told her.
She turned to him not believing what she was hearing. When had her brother become so unfeeling? So insensitive to death that he felt nothing for the loss of their brother? If Finn meant nothing to him then what about Kol and Elijah? And herself? If she were to die would he truly feel nothing? Or would that finally get his full attention?
"Is that how you would talk if I was dead?" she questioned.
She was desperate to hear his answer because she needed to know that she would be missed if anything happened to her. She needed to know he would fell something. She hoped with all she had and against all the odds because after all these year on this Earth together he had to feel something if he were to lose her?
"You let the Salvatore leave the party with two stakes that could kill us, so I guess we will see soon enough." he replied looking at her for a second.
Somewhere deep down inside she knew she should had expected that response from her brother but it still hurt and she knew she couldn't hurt him in return.
"And since when do you have a weakness for them?" he questioned her.
"The Salvatore's may fight like dogs, but in the end they would die for one another." she replied honestly and blinked, knowing her older brother would never do that for her but she would for him.
"At least they know what family means. You have managed to destroy ours." and as she said the words she knew it was a lie but she could stop herself from saying the words she wanted to hurt him like her had hurt her moments before.
"I wanted a family, but it is they who did not want me." he said and his thoughts go to six people he needed to call soon.
Rebecca goes to say something along the mines of he was wrong, that she would always be there for him and would never abandon him but she stopped herself and he spoke again.
"Now we are no longer linked. We are no longer responsible for each other."
He turned to her and for one second she felt as if she was her brother the one that had cried tears when their brother Henrik had died all them years ago. Before his denies everything had been perfect and then they were all left as empty shells of their former self's. But a second later after she saw the brother she wanted back so badly the look was gone and the hardened look was there again.
"So what? Your going to leave?" he said confidently with a little anger behind the words. But they were almost a cry for her to stay and not abandon him.
He closed his eyes, turned and glanced away quickly before he turned back to her.
"As soon as I have the stakes, I am leaving." he told her calmly but she knew him well enough that she could see tears swimming in his eyes. Nonetheless, he resumed composure and spoken confidently again.
"I'll take Elena and use her blood to create a new family...,of hybrids." as he said this he knew it would anger her and six other people that she didn't know about.
She felt anger rest in her and a single tear roll down her face. So, that was it? This was what she got for staying with him all these years? Going against her brother? Forgiving him for locking her in a coffin for nearly a century? Was it nor her that always stayed? Wasn't it her that was always there whenever he needed her? Would he be there for her?
"And if I choose to stay?" she whispered and breathed out barely wanting to ask the simple question.
Nik didn't answer straight away, he looked at her in disbelief. Why would she want to stay? But his first reaction was to hold her like he had wanted to almost a century ago and for a second he planned finding a dagger and stabbing her with it just to keep her there with him but he wouldn't, he couldn't. Was it not he who said they were responsible for each other? He watched as tears rolled down her face and he wanted to tell her anything to make it better. They could stay and become a family again. He wanted to be able to tell her he loved her and he would stay.
But something stopped him and he put up his walls all over again to protect himself and the very important six people.
"You are just as pathetic as Finn then." He spat his words full of hate and anger and he didn't know were all the hate comes from sometimes. The left the room as quickly as he could after he spoke the words.
He sat alone in the den for hours drinking a bottle and half of whisky gone and he was drunk.
He found himself in the lobby of his house and felt the need for fresh air, though he did want to go see if Rebecca was still there.
He felt like a caged animal in the house in the small town. He was use to always being on the move and he hated the feeling.
He used his super speed to head deep into the forest there he could hear wolves howling at the moon and looked up at the clear to sky and just looked at the moon.
Klaus wanted to leave but after everything he couldn't.
Everything he had done had broke his family. I was because of him the Henrik was dead. That Mikael become a vampire. It was he who killed his mother. It was because of him the Mikael had been tracking them down of the centuries. It was he who asked Finn to return to perform the ritual and he who couldn't let his emotions get the better of him or show them most of the time with his siblings because if he had they would have been vulnerable.
An there in the middle of a forest the great Niklaus Mikaelson, a hybrid and the strongest, vampire in the world fell to the forest floor and broke down.
