Before Klaus broke his curse
0o 2 o0
That night Klaus decided to stop at the local bar. Right in front of that place he stopped car, but he didn't get down. He didn't feel so.
Damn, days were not so progressive and entertaining. The last time he remembered having fun—not quite sure but maybe when he turned it off and went on killing spree till Elijah found him somewhere in the central Europe, warned him or maybe when they both heard that Mikael was desiccated by a witch from Virginia. Elijah confirmed what they heard about Mikael was true: A Bennett witch desiccated Mikael in 90s. Needless to say, it relieved Klaus and he had thought of paying visit to her. Though, he never did actually.
After that the relationship between Elijah and Klaus—like always—was strained when they discussed about undaggering their siblings. Elijah parted ways while Klaus chose to explore, all alone.
Letting out a loud huff, Klaus tapped his fingers on the steering as he looked around impassively. There were people everywhere, entering and exiting the bar which was out of the city, isolated near the woods. He got down lazily, thinking to get laid that night. Maybe he could find someone—
His thoughts ended when a light flashed across the sky. Everyone looked up as the gold glitters suddenly appeared. But it all happened in a blink of an eye and so it was hard for humans to register what it really was.
It was no shooting star, not really. Because this light was brighter and it appeared in closer proximity.
Humans around him didn't pay any attention to that, but Klaus observed as it directed somewhere into the middle of woods. For sure, the ground under him trembled which intrigued him.
Slowly he walked into the woods, and once he entered inside totally, Klaus used his vampire senses to track the source. And he did finally. He followed the light and ended up where the trees were on fire. He blurred in that direction. The area looked messy with trees broken and were on flames, and there was a hole into the ground. Klaus didn't want to conclude anything without knowing what it was.
He removed the broken branches in his way and peeped into the hole.
The source was still shimmering in gold, and something dusty. Klaus gaped at the source when the sparkles died gradually. It turned out as a woman, a woman who was having wings? Klaus stood there in disbelief. This was so not happening. Under dizzy light from the flames, Klaus saw her head tilting up at his direction. She stretched out her hand as if she was asking for help. If she had wings then she could get out of that pit, right?
When Klaus glanced at her rather large wings, one started to flap vigorously but the other didn't.
He raised brows in realization - she was damaged, she needed help.
Klaus immediately crouched down and took her hands into his, lifted her up with little effort. Oh damn her, he felt some unusual tingles as long as their skins were in contact. He frowned, letting go of her hands. But she failed to take even a single step on her own. Klaus supported her by grasping her elbows instantly. And when she came out of that pit - Klaus took a moment to examine the beauty in front of him. That fire around them helped him to do so.
The woman's golden hair covered half of her face, it almost reached to her chest. Her upper body twinkled and Klaus took a second to notice some pale colored fabrics covered her body. Slowly the mysterious lady looked up at him, and the expression on her face was something that had his attention. Anxious and startled, she was.
Klaus brushed hair from her face, curious to see her face completely. One of her wings started to flap again, making him to retrieve his hands, but she lost balance again. Before she could trip down, he let out a loud sigh and captured her hands. "You don't have to fear me, love." He muttered, making the woman to tilt her head. Blinking up at him while being cautious, she tilted head to other side then. She was weird, no doubt. He grew uncomfortable from her staring and asked. "Can you walk?"
She, then, widened her eyes a little and spoke for the first time. "Killer."
Klaus elevated his brows in surprise. It seemed like she knew of him. "You're still alive." He scoffed, still didn't understand how she figured out. But what creature she was? "And what are you, little winged creature?"
She looked thoughtful and shifted her weight to another leg. "Help me, first." She said in clear, firm tone.
Demanding little one.
Klaus gave her a pointed look and then she tilted her head once again to her right. "I cannot move. I need your help."
Her sentences were short, and she seemed like she was having trouble as she spoke, like she was trying to remember words. Klaus squinted at her- damn her - this was not his usual style. She might be strange, but still a lady and asked for his help.
Exhaling loudly, Klaus grumbled rolling eyes to himself. "Since you have asked nicely." He didn't understand how to lift her up - those wings would come in middle. Perhaps he had to put her on his shoulders and carry like a cave-man. She was not a baby- definitely not - he reminded self while checking out her body, though he didn't have any alternative.
But then - her wings slowly disappeared and the flames around them died as well. It earned an impressive look from the Original. She was having magic too, and this just got better. Klaus smirked quietly. What else she was capable of? Then he picked her up in his arms normally and started to move out of the place.
He didn't like how her skin was causing him tingles. Why they weren't stopping? He growled internally. Maybe it was her problem? Not that it was entirely unpleasant, but he simply didn't like it.
"You dislike me." She said. Klaus felt sadness in her tone and chuckled, shaking his head in darkness. Soon they were out, near his car and luckily there were not so many people. However, he cared less about their presence.
First time, under the those bright lights, Klaus get to see her face properly. Looked like a porcelain doll in his hands with blonde hair and plum lips. He was drawn to her ocean blue eyes, within seconds, which were carefully observing her surroundings. She twisted her neck and looked toward the bar. Klaus smirked when she was astonished. "They are simply having fun, love, it is no crime."
The mysterious lady didn't appreciate it, for some reasons. She looked at him questioningly when he put her down and opened the door for her. "Get in." Klaus pointed at the seat. She observed it for a moment before she slipped in with his help. Closing the door after her, Klaus moved toward the driving seat while predicting what she could be. He began to recollect all the information about other creatures as he started the car. A creature with wings, with magic, and extremely enchanting. What was her kind?
