A/N hello ladies and gents I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend or depending on when I post this are having a wonderful weekend. I just want to thank everybody who has viewed or read my story like I said before this subject the originals is new territory for me I mean I did binge watch the vampire diaries and originals on Netflix before I started writing. I have my friend Jess to thank for that because without her I don't think I would have gotten the idea for the store. So I also want to think anyone who has reviewed and favorited and followed my story. So without further ado I present to you chapter 3. I hope you enjoy.
"Honestly I'm not sure where to start love it's a very long story, into be honest I would say why don't we meet tomorrow for a drink and I'll tell you all you need to know or want to know but I also have a feeling that if I left you alone you might just go back out on the bridge and finish what you tried to start." Klaus said as he looked down upon me watching me waiting for me to answer. I honestly had no idea what to feel or what to think. I mean on till an hour ago I thought were just a myth. Shaking my head back-and-forth I look up at him. Trying to come up with something to say to him.
"Okay, how about this so you don't have to worry that I'm going to jump off the bridge how about you walk me back to my apartment and along the way you answer some questions. How does that sound?" I asked looking up at him hoping that he would at least give me some kind of explanation as to what has gone one tonight.
"Lead the way then." He says as he extends his arm out in front of him with a smile. Looking off in to the distance thinking of where I should start. Honestly there were so many questions swimming around in my head that I could ask him but getting them to come out was the hard part. Well here goes nothing.
"So umm how long have you been, umm like this, I mean a vampire or hybrid as you explained earlier?" I asked stuttering to get my first question out. I studied him as continued to walk alongside me.
"Oh a very long time a little over a thousand years dear." He said smiling as he kept walking. Watching him looking to see if he is going to say anything else. Wanting to know more I try and come up with a question that would give me more answers.
"So you said you're the hybrid, part vampire part werewolf, as far as I know that's impossible and I have read a lot of books and never once did any of them say anything a vampire being able to be part werewolf, how does that happen if you don't mind me asking, If it is to personal you don't have to answer." I asked as I kept walking but turning my head to look up at him to see if I had crossed some line by asking him that question. Watching him as he looked up closing his eyes as if he was trying to find some kind of way to explain. I could see that I had hit some kind of nerve.
"My mother who was a very powerful witch had had an affair behind my father's back with a man who was werewolf and I was born from that affair, one night when me and my little brother Henrik went to watch the wolves turn on the full moon and he was killed after that my father had wanted us to be able to defend ourselves so he made my mother use some very dark magic to turn me and my brothers and sister in to vampires." He said as he directed us towards and bench. I joined him when he sat down. I'm not sure what I should be feeling about what he has just told me.
"I'm so sorry for what happened to your brother and I'm not even sure what to say to that must've been very rough to go through but I'm not sure where the werewolf part comes in, I'm so sorry if that came out wrong I'm just not sure what to say." Internally kicking myself for feeling like such a friggin idiot he's telling me his life story and I feel like I'm sitting here offending the hell out of him. He starts to chuckle as he smiled down as he looks at me.
"It's quite alright love nothing to be sorry for such a long time ago, as for being part werewolf like I told you my mother had an affair with a werewolf but you can only become a werewolf when you've killed somebody and after our father turned us into vampires the first kill triggered the werewolf curse and that's when my father found out that my mother had had an affair, he was so angry and so mad that my mother had kept a secret from him that he forced my mother to perform the curse that would keep my werewolf side dormant but I was able to break the curse which is a whole Another story for another time so that's why am the hybrid part werewolf part vampire, pretty much the best of both worlds." He said smiling as he stood up and offered me his hand. Taking it I stood as we started to walk back down the road towards my apartment. We walked along in silence for a little while the French quarter is quite at this time in the morning. You can still smell the food that had been cooked that night. Empty beer and drink cups littered the ground from people who had been out that night.
"Is it hard for you to control it, the hunger for blood I mean?" I asked as I looked up at him.
"The hunger is something that can be controlled if you have the will power, but then even the oldest of vampires have their moments where they become as we like to call rippers." He said as he continued to walk alongside me.
"Umm what's a ripper?" I asked as we rounded the corner to the next street.
"A ripper my dear is a vampire who leaves one hell of a mess when decides to kill a human, there not as discreet with their kill as most of us are." He started to explain to me.
"Why are you telling me all of this, I know that you may have stopped me from jumping tonight but I have to honest if you are just talking to me and telling me all of this because you have some plans on killing me, then please spare me the chit chat and just get it over with already." I said facing him as I stopped in front of my apartment door. Watching him, waiting for him to just get it over with and kill. I mean if this guy is what he is why in the world would he tell me all this?
"I promise you dear if I had any plans on killing you I would have done so already or I would have let you jump off that bridge back there." He said as he looked down on me as he laced his hands beyond his back.
"Then why tell me all this, why spill all these secrets about vampires and werewolves to someone you don't even know, I just don't get it." Running my hands through my hair trying to come up with a reason how tonight came to this. I just wanted to go upstairs and take a hot shower and just forget tonight even happened.
"You really are quite the little perceptive one aren't you, Who knows maybe I just find you easy to talk to you did you ever think of that, or seeing as how you say you've read so many books you know that I can just compel you to forget it is quite easy to just make you forget this whole night." He said with a smile pulling at him lips.
"Did it ever occur to you that that's just mean to do to somebody, to take memories, pieces of time from them that's the kind of shit that makes people crazy, why would you do that?" I asked standing up straighter. What the hell am I thinking standing up to a vampire must really want to friggn die tonight I thought to myself?
"Simple sometimes you just have to make people forget certain things to keep yourself safe, to keep your love ones safe, to keep your secrets really anything that could put anyone you care about in danger plus it is a helpful little tool to have in your arsenal." He said smiling down on me. God how I wanted to slap that cocky grin right off his face. Deciding I don't have the strength to fight off a thousand year old vampire slash werewolf I pushed that idea right out the door.
"You know what I think I have officially reached my quota of paranormal shit I can take tonight, so if you don't mind I'm going to go back up to the apartment, I'm going to take a shower and I'm going to get ready for bed because honestly I don't think I'll be seeing this apartment again after tonight but here I am, so good night honestly I'm not sure right now if I want to say it was nice meeting you but I hope you have a good night Klaus." I said as grabbed my keys out of my pocket and opened the door. As I got the door open I turned around.
"Have a good night Niki, please do refrain from trying to end your life between now and the next time I see you." He said holding the door open.
"What do you mean next time you see me?" I questioned.
"I have a feeling will be seeing a lot of each other sleep well." He said as he backed away from the door and in an instant he was gone. Seriously what the hell just happened? Turning around make my way up the stairs. Sliding my key into the lock open my door taking a look around my apartment. It may not be much but honestly I am happy to see it. Closing and locking the door behind me I kick off my shoes and place my jacket on the hook on the back of the door.
I stopped as I looked at the piece of paper that laid on my little kitchen table. Not that anyone would need it nor find it but it had all my account information everything with what money I had. Maybe it was wishful thinking that someone would come claim me if I had jumped off that bridge tonight. Snatching the piece of paper off the table and ripping it into little pieces and drop it in the trashcan. I can honestly say that tonight has been one of the craziest nights I've ever had. Just trying to process it all is giving me a headache.
What I don't understand is why he would care if I killed myself or not it just doesn't make sense. Judging from what he said about seeing me later I might just find out why. I walked back towards my bedroom and I just laid down on my bed and curl up with my teddy bear. He is the only thing I have for my childhood. I was going to take a shower but I am way too tired for that right now. So I just close my eyes and pray that sleep soon finds me because God only knows what tomorrow has in store for me.
