A/N I have never done anything like this before. I've added another sibling into the mix, one that Klaus is the closest to. Her name is Angelica, and she is the youngest child of the Mikaelson family. I must warn you, there is implied incest and some mature content between Klaus and Angelica, so if you don't like it, don't read it. Don't bother sending me hate after I have told you to turn away, it's just not helpful at all. But if you do like it and want more, please review.

I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon

After all I knew it had to be something to do with you

I really don't mind what happens now and then

As long as you'll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still call me superman?

If I'm alive and well, will you be here holding my hand?

I'll keep you by my side

With my superhuman might

Chapter One ~ The Castle Crumbles

14th October—1923

I'm worried.

Niklaus is losing sight himself, i'm sure of it. He isn't the boy i once new. His once kind, good natured heart is beginning to turn cold with each day we are running from our father. We have been running for what seems like forever, and this time, he barely missed us. We had been in Chicago, I had been told when he returned to where we were residing. He's becoming craftier, and Niklaus is driving himself insane whilst trying to keep one step ahead. His thirst for power is taking over him and he's, like I previously mentioned, losing sight of himself. I do hope that we don't completely lose him to this. Kol and Rebekah are still locked away in their coffins, rotting and I don't know how much longer I can stay with Niklaus alone, he is becoming more and more demanding and expects me to be with him at all times.

It's as if he is scared that i'll leave, just like Elijah has. He couldn't handle how Niklaus was treating him, and everyone else, it was as if he gave up on our brother. I do miss him, he was the one person who kept everything balanced, he gave me hope that one day, maybe our brother will find his way again. I can't mention anything to him, i'm afraid that he'll put me in a coffin, just like he did Kol and Rebekah. With them around, I felt more at ease because they could share the burden that our brother is becoming. I hate to use that word but it's true at the moment, i'm never allowed a moment of peace and his moods are getting worse each day. I feel alone even though i'm always with Niklaus. I don't recognize him any more. Now and then I get a glimpse of the boy he used to be, the one who always made me feel safe. Those glimpses are become more and more rare, and I don't know what to do.

He expects my complete and utter devotion. I have no choice but to give him that. I still love my brother, because I hope that, deep down, my Nik is still in there. But even if I attempted to leave...where would I turn to? He's the only constant, I have nothing else. Elijah is gone, I don't know where Rebekah and Kol are locked away. I don't doubt that he would dagger me like he did Rebekah when she found happiness outside of his world, even though he strongly insists that he wouldn't. I have nothing but Niklaus, he makes sure of that with his manipulation. Sometimes I think he considers me his territory, not his sister anymore, and it hurts. I must go, I don't have a much time before he comes back from his hunting, and he wouldn't be happy if he found me writing this.

I hope my next entry has better news.

Angelica Mikaelson.

20th November—1923

"Nik?"

The youngest Mikaelson tapped on the heavy wooden door. She frowned when there was no reply, but her hearing picked up on some sounds coming from inside her brother's study. She knocked once more, this time a little louder, but like the first time, she got no response. Angelica frowned, wondering what was going on inside the room that was making her brother fail to reply to her. She couldn't hear anyone else in the room with him, so she assumed that he was alone. Angelica let a smile appear on her face, coming to the conclusion that he was painting once more. Klaus was known for being deep in thought when he was working on a new painting, it happened to the point that he lost track of time. He got unhappy whenever someone, even her, entered his study when he was working.

He also hated people entering his study without invitation.

She knocked, this time raising her voice,"Nik? May I come in, please?"

There was a few seconds of silence before he called back,"If you must, baby sister."

Angelica turned the door handle and made her way into Klaus' office, her blue eyes scanning the room for any sign of her older brother. In the corner, near the window was the painting he had been working on for most of the year. Klaus took his time on certain ones, some could be finished within the hour he started them, but now and them he would take the time. She narrowed her eyes when she noticed that he hadn't been working on his project, but shrugged it off. It was beautiful, well what he had painted so far. Her brother was a perfectionist, something had to be just right, it had to be the exact color or shape. She had witnessed him tossing out a painting he had spent almost a full year on just because a small part of it wasn't what he imagined in his mind, what he had set his thoughts on.

His smooth voice pulled Angelica out of her thoughts."What brings you up here, love?"

Angelica turned around and faced his desk. Her floor was on the one below him, Klaus had given it to her when they first moved in. His was on the one above her, and it was also where his meetings took place whenever he got word of something important. She was never allowed to come near his floor when they happened, he made sure of that, Klaus always managed to distract her. Like him, she could be sneaky or nosy when she wanted to be. His back was to her, and he was sitting in his large seat, looking like he was focusing on something. She eyed him, feeling some sort of tension coming off of him.

Angelica hesitantly answered him,"It's a nice day out, Nik, I was wondering if we could go out? Maybe we could go for a walk or per-"

"No. I'm busy today."

"You say that everytime I ask you. I haven't been outside in days and you're always out."

Hiding what he was focused on, her brother turned around and looked up at her. She was now hovering over him, her hands on his desk. She sent him a pleading look. Angelica wasn't allowed outside without him, he had gotten more paranoid over the past month. She wasn't able to go far without him knowing, and it wasn't something she wanted to do, especially since he looked as if he were close to hurting someone. His eyes were stormy and bloodshot, telling that he was more than just upset. His fists were clenched as he stared up at his younger sister. She swallowed, becoming slightly nervous as he continued to eye her, as if he wanted to read her thoughts.

"I know that, Angel. I was up early, you see and when I looked out the window, I saw how beautiful it was. Then I remembered how much you love days like these, you enjoy picking the fresh flowers. I felt bad about keeping you cooped up like some prisoner, so deciding to give you some freedom, I arranged to take you to see the horses."

Her eyes lit up and a smile blossomed on her face, making Klaus grin for a moment before it disappeared."Really, Nik? Whe-"

He raised a hand and stood up, cutting her off once more. Still hiding what he had been looking at behind his back, he walked around the desk. She stepped back as he came up in front of her. He seemed memorized by her smile, as if he were burning it into his mind.

"...after all my hard work, I went down to your floor, but one of the maids told me that you were still asleep. So, deciding to leave you a little longer because we were going to have a long day ahead of us, love, I helped make your favourite breakfast."

"Nik? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"I'm getting to that. Be patient, baby sister."

He began to walk forward, and as he did, she moved away. The more he spoke, his voice dropped to a harsh whisper. Any cheerfulness that had been in the room, escaped and was replaced with thick tension. There were no traces of happiness or excitement in his eyes, there were only darkness, it was surrounding his blue orbs. Angelica felt her back meet with the door, a soft moan leaving her when the handle dug into the small of her back. Klaus tilted his head, eyes drifting over her face, a sadistic smirk on his lips as he gazed down at his sister.

"Now...where was I? Yes, being the dutiful big brother. I went to wake you up, but before I could, guess what I found on the floor?"

Her breath caught in her throat as Klaus raised his other hand, fingers clutching her private journal in his fingers. Angelica's eyes widened as she remembered writing in it the night before, she must have fallen asleep before hiding it away. Before she could think, Angelica tried to tear it out of his hands, ready to do anything to keep her brother from reading it. If he did, she wouldn't be able to take it. Klaus chuckled darkly, waggling his finger at his sister, free hand pinning her to the door.

"Nik...no."

Angelica felt sick, she suddenly couldn't stand up by herself. Klaus cupped her face, his touch making her shudder in fear, something that had never happened before. Thumb pressing down on her lip, he hushed her.

"Too late, love. I've read every single word."

Angelica swallowed once more, her eyes watering as his face came closer, anger being replaced with hurt,"I now know what my precious baby sister really thinks of me...every single hurtful, hateful thought you've ever had."

Disappointment, anger and hurt laced in his voice, making Angelica's eyes fall to the floor. A tear dropped from her cheek as her brother continued to whisper to her, sounding close to tears himself. When he first picked up the journal, he hadn't been expecting to read what he had. He had been expecting some anger towards him because of their siblings, he'd become used to that, but as he read further, it was like he didn't recognize her. He felt like she had staked him and set him on fire just for the fun of it. She didn't know what to say, what to think, scared that she would push him over the edge. The sound of her voice, how small she sounded made Klaus' eyes brim with his own tears. Since the day she had been born, he'd been there, he'd helped her walk, taught her how to talk. It had always been her and him. While Elijah had taken the role of taking care of Rebekah, she had been his.

Klaus had always protected her, no matter what.

"I don't hate you...that's not right." She weakly whispered.

They stood in silence for a moment, and Angelica reached out. She went to wipe his tears away, something she had always done, but her wrist was caught. His fingers wrapped around it, crushing her bones beneath his fingers. She gasped in pain, shocked at his actions, but didn't fight back. When Klaus was angry at the level he was at that moment, it meant that he was hurt. He'd never been able to control his actions properly, so whenever he felt upset, he lashed out with rage because he didn't want to feel that way anymore, and because of that he wanted everyone else to feel what he was feeling. So she bit her lip, staying still until she felt his fingers loosen, but he didn't let her wrist go.

"See, angel, I want to believe you, believe me, I want nothing more. But when I read it in writing, I have a hard time doing so."

He pushed her back against the door again, free hand grasping her cheek once more. He looked at the page he had been reading, and soon he was repeating her written words, loud and clear. As he spoke, his voice began to break against his will, even though he tried to keep the emotion inside. Never in his life had he felt so betrayed, but the worst of it was that he hadn't been expecting it from his youngest sister, the one he had tried to hard to do right by.

A sob came from Angelica, and she tugged her hand out of his tight hold then held her hands over her ears. She wanted to block it out, knowing that he was doing it to torture her, make her feel a fraction to what he felt.

"I can't mention anything to him, i'm afraid that he'll put me in a coffin, just like he did Kol and Rebekah. With them around, I felt more at ease because they could share the burden that our brother is becoming. I hate to use that word but it's true at the moment."

"I know what it says, Nik. Please, don't read anymore." She pleaded.

She couldn't take it anymore, the way he said it was as if she had physically harmed him. He turned and glanced at her, warning flashing in his orbs,"Why? Afraid of how i'll react to how you really feel?"

When she didn't answer, Klaus went back to reading."...Now and then I get a glimpse of the boy he used to be, the one who always made me feel safe. Those glimpses are become more and more rare, and I don't know what to do."

Her brother cleared his throat, and for the first time in a long while, his wall was down. He dropped the diary as if it had burnt him, and angrily wiped the wetness off of his cheeks before raising his head. It reminded her of the first time she had witnessed their father beat him, he looked so weak and vulnerable, so easy to break. He slumped onto the desk, knowing that he would fall to his feet if he stood any longer. She took a step towards him, and hesitantly placed her hands on his shoulders, and shockingly, he allowed her. He sniffed, his head falling onto her chest, larger hands grasping at her arms.

"What more do you want from me? I give you everything your heart desires. I keep you safe, I buy you the dresses you want, I even take you out when you know that it's a risk. Everything I do is to make you happy, and it still isn't enough."

He pulled her down, forehead lolling against her own. His nails dug into her arm as he whispered against here, his lips moving over the skin of her cheek. Every move he made was to make sure that they were far away from Mikael as possible. He would take everything they had built and wouldn't think twice before driving the stake through Klaus' heart. The hybrid was still reeling from the horror of what had happened in New Orleans. He could feel her slipping through his fingers, the one he had put everything he had into, the one who thought he was everything was close to abandoning him. He'd expected it from everyone else, but not his angel, never Angelica.

Out of their family, she had never left him, she'd never chosen anyone or anything over him.

Apart from now.

"Nik, all I want is my family. I don't want anything else."

He let out a growl and pushed her away, flashing over to her. She fell against the wall behind them, letting out a painful moan, he was stronger when he was angry, he didn't hold back.

"I'm your family! I'm all that you need."

For the first time, Angelica fought back, not caring about the consequences."No! Kol, Rebekah, Elijah and Finn are my family, too. So was Henrik, may he rest in peace. There will be a time where you have to realize and accept that my entire existence isn't just for you, Nik."

"Yes it is! You are mine...you have always been mine."

"I'm not property, i'm not something you can claim. That is not fair. I love you, you have to know that, but I love them too. It isn't right what you do to them."

"Do you love them more than me? Is that it? Rebekah was going to choose someone else over us. Elijah has left us. Kol...don't get me started on him and Finn? He couldn't care less about us. If it weren't for me, we would have been caught long ago. You could never survive without me, baby sister."

She fell silent as he shouted at her, her eyes falling shut. She couldn't look at him anymore. He was out of control. This wasn't Niklaus, this couldn't be what her brother had turned into. She slid down to the floor, her lower lip wobbling as her brother knelt in front of her, his anger gone seemingly. Once again, he wiped her tears away, tucking her hair behind her ear. He knew that he was being unfair, but he couldn't let her go, he refused to let her go. Klaus would not allow it, he would find her, he would tear anyone and everything apart to find her. His eyes landed on the gold chain around her neck, one that she promised never to take off, and he prayed that no matter what happened, she would keep her word.

She had given up the right to live without him when she gave herself to him. She was far from his sister, she was much more than that. He pulled on her hand, his lips pressing a kiss on the back, then turned it around, placing another on her palm. A shiver ran up her spine unwillingly, as his blue eyes caught her own. They dared her to look away, to break their gaze. She let out a gasp when his fingers curled around her waist, wrenched her up close so that she was almost in his lap. Angelica whimpered his name in a plea, whether it was for mercy, he wasn't sure, but all he could think was about how he had to make a stop to whatever she was feeling. He had to stop her from leaving him, from leaving what they had tried to hard to keep.

He leaned close to her, their lips brushing as he whispered,"I asked you a question, Angel. Do you love them more than me? Do you love those who were so willing to leave you behind more than me?"

"You don't understand. You need to accept that just because I love my family too, it doesn't mean that I will no longer love you."

He shook her harshly, as if he hadn't heard her words. His eyes were now dark, there was no life in them."What do they give you I don't? It has always been me, not them, me! It will always be me!"

"Nik, why must you do this to me? What has happened to you?"

Her response was a sharp pain in her chest, making her whimper once more, instantly knowing what it was. Klaus watched, tears in his eyes as her soft skin became grey, and he choked, glancing down at the dagger in his hands. He had promised that he would never dagger her like he did Rebekah and Kol but he could see that she was close to leaving. She was close to leaving him, close to not loving him anymore and he couldn't handle that.

He had no choice.

He'd be damned if his angel loved anyone more than she loved him.
