:) Okay, twist. Klaus knows Tyler has broken the "bond", but Alaric is still human with major alter. problems. Bonnie still hates everyone, and wants to keep to herself. Elena is still forgiving as ever, but trying to return to the girl she used to be. AND LOTS MORE WITH CHARACTERS!

Turn it On

He looked up at the ceiling deep in thought, he knew that it was time to get out of this one pony town. He found himself held by one thing, want. He wanted to turn it on. After a thousand years of being a monster, he wanted to turn it on. He wanted to feel again. Turning it on, he thought ironically amused, is a bitch.

It would make sense to finally feel, he was once again alone. No hybrids, besides Tyler who was no longer sired. Rebekah, although she had not left town was bittersweetly trying to be a real live girl. His other siblings had fled town, and even though Esther was "dead" she still had a strong influence on earth.

Sure, Klaus was pissed. He was on the edge, and it would be too easy to become a monster. He liked a challenge, if he could turn it on by the end of the week he would not leave town. He would stay for his girl, his girl would always be Elena. The way she was disgusted by him, the way she hated him, and the way that she looked for something redeemable in his soul.

Elena was like that, he observed her for a long time and noticed that it didn't matter what Damon did. She forgave him for being a monster. Of course, Damon never killed Jenna. Damon did kill Alaric, and tried to kill her best friends- and he snapped Jeremy's neck... and he killed innocent people. Whereas Stefan ripped a lot of innocent people apart. Klaus was trying to assure himself that Elena would forgive him. But would she? If he were Elena, he would kill him on point.

Klaus got out of his bed, deciding to put on a shirt before he took a walk. He would let Elena sleep for now, but as soon as the sun came up her day would be his. What is today anyway? Could she afford to miss school, he'd just compel the attendance lady.

Mystic Falls had potential a thousand years ago, instead of a small town filled with secrets it could have been beautiful. Nothing like Paris, or even Atlanta or New York... but rich with larger and more advanced buildings. Klaus moved fast through the town, stopping in front of the Mystic Grill. He couldn't see himself sitting at the bar and drinking, chatting it up with 'friends'. He could see himself waiting for Elena, terrorizing her a little more. He could see himself scouting girls in the Mystic Grill or warning Damon of what he was about to do so he would try and stop him.

He leaned against a brick wall, he could hear girls laughing walking out of the grill. You could kill them right now, and never think of it again. They would be so easy to pretend they got in an accident after too many drinks at the grill. He closed his eyes, putting his head against the brick trying to force the thoughts out of his head. They were gone, out of sight but he knew that if he really wanted to, he could find them.

He started walking again, the best thing to do is to move. He seemed to find himself minutes later on a bridge, his wanted to scream out in anger reached a point. "Klaus?" He rolled his eyes, hearing the pathetic humans voice. Was he an idiot? Klaus couldn't remember if he tried to kill him, but his siblings had. He was evil- don't stop on a bridge to confront evil.

"If I say no, will you go away?" He asked sarcastically, he could hear the Matt kid walk closer. "Guess not" Klaus turned, about to strike him and then stopped. What would Elena think if he killed one of her best friends? It would make things difficult. "Get back in your beat up truck and leave" He was not trying to use compulison. It wouldn't work, vervain was in all of their systems.

"Do you need a ride somewhere?" This kid did not learn a lesson! If he wasn't trying to change himself he would have knocked him out against the road and hoped he didn't get hit by a car.

"Elena's house" He looked at the sky "Wait, what time is it?"

"Why do you want to go to Elena's house?" Matt was trying to be protective, great just what he needed. Them trying to keep Elena away from him.

"It's really none of your business" Klaus said, looking in his eyes. "Next time you want to put your hands on me, realize that I am a thousand years older than you and just because you can push someone around of the football field doesn't mean that you can push me"

"If you hurt her" Matt started to threaten Klaus, but then stopped. It was no use, he was digging a deeper grave.

"I wouldn't dream of it" He said, "Now what time is it?"

"Almost 4" Matt had to twist the key a few times before the truck would even start. Klaus realized walking would be faster, but he was tired of walking around the town.

"Fantastic" He wouldn't feel so bad about making her wake up and talk to him. The car ride was silent, no conversation at all. "If you think about reaching for that stake one more time, I will not think twice"

Matt sunk in his seat, and kept driving. "Why were you on that bridge?"

"I was thinking" Klaus looked over at Matt "Matt, Rebekah fancies you... Don't hurt her"

"I- I" He couldn't say anything, he just looked ahead "I won't"

"Good" Klaus got out of the truck, and ran up the stairs. He waited until Matt drove out of the driveway, he figured he had a good three minutes to talk to Elena before any of those pesky lovers got involved. He knocked on the door, loudly.

To his surprise, it was Elena that answered. He had feared that it would be someone else and he would have to knock on a window or something. "Klaus" she breathed, and then tried to run.

"Elena" He smirked "I came to tell you something, but I'm afraid it'll be compromised. Please come with me"

"Why would I do that?"

"Please" He begged, "It's important"

"Is someone dead because of you?" She crossed her arms, being stubborn. Too bad Klaus did not have the time for stubborn.

"No, this might sound strange but I need your forgiveness." Something flashed in her innocent eyes, she believed him. "Please"

"Okay, but you have to promise you won't hurt me." She thought highly of him and his siblings, he knew that. But he knew that he would never break a single promise to her. It would not be a good way to start the day, now would it?

"I promise"
