This is a new story I've been writing. I would like to warn everyone, it's going to be darker than my first ones. Please let me know what you think.
Misery loves company
Stefan Salvatore. Klaus cursed the day he ever heard that name. But that would be nothing comparing how bitterly that arrogant brat would curse him before he would be finished. Did he really think he could steal from Klaus and just walk away? Obviously the Salvatore boy had no idea who he was dealing with. Making people suffer was Klaus' specialty. He had centuries of practice in that department. And he would definitely enjoy using all his knowledge with this boy. Such a shame, so many ways to suffer, so little time. No wait, he had unlimited amount of time. That was too bad for the Salvatore boy. Klaus was sitting in some 24/7 diner drinking cup of coffee. Since it was almost midnight, there weren't many other customers. Soon he would be on his way too. Klaus didn't care to notice a man who entered the diner before he carefully approached him.
"Excuse me", man said insecurely.
Klaus looked at him coldly. He was maybe in his early thirties; he had dark hair and dark brown eyes. And he was a vampire.
"Yes", Klaus said with freezing tone.
"Are you Klaus?" man asked.
"Who the hell are you and how do you know me?" Klaus asked keeping that same tone.
"I… My name is William. I would like to ask you a favor."
Klaus was genuinely surprised. And a little amused.
"Let me get this straight, so you just march here and expect me to grant you a favor?"
"No, I'm not asking anything for free. I will repay you."
"Really? So tell me William, what kind of favor are we talking about?"
"My wife", William started. "She was bit by a werewolf. I understand you could help."
"Where did you get that information?" Klaus asked coldly.
"I've heard rumors."
"Well, you shouldn't believe everything you hear."
William swallowed.
"Please, just name your price. I got money…"
"Now you are just insulting me", Klaus said smiling. "That's not very smart thing to do."
William looked desperate.
"Please, all I ask is five minutes of your time. My wife is everything to me. If you want me to beg, I will."
Klaus rolled his eyes.
"Oh, please just stop. Fine, I meet this wife of yours but that doesn't mean I would help her. That depends what mood I'm in when we get there."
William nodded looking relieved.
"Thank you. Please, this way."
Klaus stood up slowly and followed the younger vampire outside. He wasn't sure why. This man was pathetic. But Klaus had to admit that he was curious to see a woman who made a man humiliate himself like that.
"She's there", William said and pointed some sleazy motel across the street.
"Well what a coincidence you just happened to saw me across the street", Klaus said coldly.
"It wasn't a coincidence", William admitted. "I have been trying to find you."
"And you succeeded? Well, good for you!"
Klaus wasn't sure did he believe this man. William took a key from his pocket and opened a door to a room number 6. What a dump. This couple didn't seem to have very high standards. Klaus tried to enter the room but he couldn't.
"Lily", William said quickly.
"I invite you in", said a girl's voice.
When Klaus entered the room he saw this girl sitting next to a bed. She was probably in her early twenties. She had long scarlet hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing worn-out jeans and simple green sweater. Woman who was lying on the bed was most likely William's wife. She had curly blond hair and baby blue eyes. She didn't seem to be feeling very well.
"This is my wife Amelia", William said.
Woman couldn't even lift her head. Obviously she didn't have much time left.
"And who is this?" Klaus asked looking at the girl.
"She's our… she's ours", William said.
"Really? Some kind of pet?"
William looked tense.
"Something like that."
"Interesting. I tell you what, I think I will actually help your wife but I want something in return."
"Yes, of course, anything."
"Her", Klaus said and pointed the girl.
"No!" both vampires said.
"No? Oh well, good luck then", Klaus said and turned to the door.
"Wait", William said.
Klaus smirked before he turned to them.
"Yes?"
"What… what will you do to her?"
"William!" his wife protested.
"What ever I want", Klaus replied.
William looked desperate. He looked at his wife and the girl. She stood up.
"It's ok Will", girl said. "I'll go with him."
"Lily, no!" woman cried out.
Girl took her hand.
"Everything is going to be alright Amelia. I'm not going to let you die."
"William", woman pleaded.
He took a step closer to his wife.
"Lily…" he said.
"Listen to me, both of you. I want to do this. Just promise me you will look after each other."
"I promise", William said.
Woman started to cry but she nodded. Klaus looked at this strange scene interested. These two really seemed to like their blood bag. How odd.
"We have an agreement", William said. "Now please help my wife."
Klaus moved slowly next to the bed and bit his wrist. He let the woman drank his blood until she started to look better.
"That's enough", Klaus said and yanked his hand away. "Time to go sweetheart."
Girl didn't say anything.
"Her things are in our car…" William started.
"She won't be needing them", Klaus interrupted. "Come on."
Woman was crying. William looked helpless.
"Don't look inside darkness", he said to the girl quietly.
She nodded and followed Klaus silently.
