"Okay Klaus it's Friday. Let's have our first session. Alone of course." I turned around to see her sitting on my couch. I smiled and sat across from her.

"First thing I want you to teach me is to control my bitterness. Or we can go back to writing my memoirs. Or I could just compel some great writer to write my stories for free. Which is your pick?" I asked, giving her a crooked smile.

"No, Klaus, I'm sorry but that's not how this works. Pick a topic and we can start on that." She replied. I interlaced my fingers together as I thought of a topic she would like. Obviously not my sex life.

"What about the topic of… my father?" I asked. I was going to say my mother but I remembered she accidentally already came to the conclusion I'm afraid to let her back in, which of course isn't true. I just don't like her. Even though I do admit she is my mother.

"That's a great topic. Just say what you want."

"Well let's start off on the topic that he likes my mother more than he does me. I admit it would be odd if he liked me more than her, but I'm just saying he should be more loyal to me. Everyone who wants on my good side needs to be loyal to me above all else. That's the only way I'll reward you, just ask Stefan. Sure we had a few fights here and there, but all friends fight. Stefan wanted to protect Mystic Falls from me. Which at the time I was threatening to conquer and use as my own, just as I have done with Chicago, London, New Orleans, and a few other cities. I promised him I would stop if he was my friend and he reminded me we were always friends. And then of course Katerina sent me a letter about Jane Anne and I came here to kill her, at first. But then I decided to see what she wanted, to see if I should murder her. Then I met Marcel. You know the rest… and I got off topic."

"It's fine, I said you could talk about whatever topic you wanted to."

"Well then let's just say I was planning on leaving New Orleans to go back to Mystic Falls for-… well I'd thought Marcel was being a great king but when I discovered what he was doing with the city, I realized that this city and my son both needed me. I'm glad I staid, otherwise I would have never met my father." I finished and we were quiet for a few seconds and Camille cleared her throat.

"What about the people who aren't 'loyal to you above all else'?"

"Well, usually, they end up dead. But if you're referring to Oliver, I let him live so that I might intimidate him every time I come around, to remind him who's 'top dog'. Top dog being wolf talk. It works rather well. Every time I come around, he's aggressive and I in turn return him with even more aggression."

"So you're trying to prove who's the tougher man?" I snorted at her.

"Don't be ridiculous, if I wanted him dead, he'd be dead in the blink of an eye. You've not seen the real me yet Cami. You should have seen me slaughter those ungrateful hybrids of mine, though I learned that wasn't the right thing to do. There's better ways to show dominance than to murder them. How will they learn their lesson if their dead? Oh well. I have a new hybrid pack. And these hybrids are more… agreeable."

"So you like to be in charge?" I closed my eyes, sighing, leaning back in my seat.

"Camille, I'm always in charge. The only reason I'm not always in charge is because I can step back and let people do their jobs. Besides, if you were me, you'd know how boring it can get sometimes. You know, to be in charge all the time and to be the most powerful creature in existence?"

"So I guess no, you don't like to be in charge, at least not all the time."

"True! Finally we're getting somewhere!" I cheered, sitting up, delighted.

"So what do you do if someone does their job but not the way you want it done?"

"Is this a trick question?" I asked. She didn't reply. "If it's faster or less complicated, I'll let it slide, otherwise I'll step in, just like I did with Marcell-us." I'm not going to call him Marcelly in front of his girlfriend.

"Tell me how you would step in."

"It depends on the situation."

"How about redecorating my Uncle's church?"

"I'd do that all by myself. By the way, does your uncle know that there's a bedroom in his church's attic?"

"Yes Klaus. So you wouldn't step in violently?"

"… No not really."

"What do you mean not really?"

"I wouldn't kill the worker, but if the job is messy then I'd be being violent wouldn't I?"

"I guess so. So what would you think if you were called a control freak, control freak being an expression."

"I am not a control freak. You know, lately, such compliments would get their tongue ripped out." She was shocked for a minute but she quickly moved on.

"What do you mean by lately?" … Shit.

"Lately I've been edgy. Because I have a prophecy hanging over my family's head and I have three old acquaintances back in town and my siblings are just raring to either end them or be friends with them again, completely ignoring the prophecy."

"I think that can be our next topic next Friday." She said, digging through a bag. I tilted my head, interested in what she wanted from the bag. She pulled out some of those point things.

"Why not tomorrow?"

"Because I finally have a job… of sorts… and I have other patients besides you. I've set aside an hour every Friday morning for you. Here. These are for you, since you were so cooperative during this session. 20 points." I hummed as I took them from her.

"Thank you?"

"You're welcome." She replied. "I'll see you around Klaus. Thank you for having me."

"Well you kind of just came into my house and started asking me questions."

"I did say I'd do that if I had to didn't I?" She said, smiling. She turned and headed out the front door. I stood up to go put the points in my room. I walked past Elijah on the way.

"How did your first session go Niklaus?"

"Shut up brother. I know you're the one who sent her here. She had your scent all over her." I seethed. If my brother were human, I'm sure he would have blushed, according to the face my brother had on his face right now.

This is meant to be a short 5 chapter series. That is, if you guys like this chapter. Otherwise, I'll just leave it as is. And yes, I'm still working on Choosing Family and Left Alone. Until next Friday, maybe! =D
