Chapter 3
After her very odd encounter with Mikael she headed straight to the compound. She called Elijah when she was on her way and told him she had something very important to speak with him about, she needed both him and Klaus there. Once she hung up she called Rebekah and told her to meet her at the compound. When she pulled up Rebekah was already there and she had brought Willow. Which was alright because she would need Willow as well.
As soon as she walked in all the eyes in the room were on her including those of Klaus. She sat Talon's car seat down then began right away about what had happened. She didn't share the part about what Mikael had said about Marcel and Rebekah she figured she would talk to Rebekah about that later privately. But she did tell them about Marcel leaving her alone with him, that had really pissed her off and she wasn't going to let him get away with that one.
"He left you alone with that monster" Klaus growled, she could see the anger on his face.
Buffy nodded but said "But I'm alright and so is Talon, it could have went very differently but I played him."
Klaus didn't seem to understand.
"I made him believe that I didn't believe all the bad things you said about him, I made sure he knew about our past and exactly how I feel about you, so it makes him think I would never take your side."
Buffy took a deep breath "I uh… also let him hold Talon, I don't know why but Talon wanted him so I went with it and for some reason when we touched I got visions about his past, about your past" She looked at the Mikaelson siblings "It was the strangest thing because all I felt was the love coming from him, the love he used to have for you all, when you were all still human."
Rebekah looked at her is disbelief "Mother said he changed when Freya died, after that he was cold and distant and even after their move to the new world they never seemed to get back to where they originally were, it's how my mother ended up having an affair that produced Niklaus, but once she gave birth to him he seemed to come back to her and then they had Kol, myself and then our youngest brother Henrik."
Elijah took over "He and Klaus seemed to always butt heads as Niklaus grew but it wasn't until Henrik's death that my father truly started hating my brother, he blamed him for his death even though it was not."
"But what put the cherry on top as they say, was when I made my first kill as a vampire and turned into a beast, he knew right then that my mother had been unfaithful to him." Klaus finished.
This was the first time she had actually heard this story, she looked straight at Klaus and said "I'm sorry."
He looked at her with a puzzled expression "What for love?"
"You having a shitty childhood, it's not like you asked for your mother to have an affair, he should have loved you anyway, whether you were his by blood or not." This was the first time she had ever really stopped to think about why he was the way he was.
Buffy and Klaus hadn't taken their eyes off each other but then Talon stared getting fussy which brought her back to reality. She leaned down and unstrapped him as soon as she had him out of the car seat Rebekah was right there asking to hold him. She handed him to her then made him a bottle.
Finally back on the topic they needed to be on she looked at Willow "We need a white oak stake, I know I've said this before but it had never really been that important but now it is."
Klaus snorted "That makes me feel wonderful, I guess I wasn't bad enough for you to make that a priority."
"I found out pretty soon after I got here that you wasn't as big of a threat as you made yourself out to be." Buffy smiled at him.
The way he smiled back at her made her feel a way that she knew she shouldn't. She had pushed the issue the whole time that she hadn't felt anything for him and she knew now more than ever she couldn't start getting feelings for him.
She turned to Willow again "Do you think you could exhaust all of your resources?"
Willow nodded "But you know how hard I tried last time and I couldn't come up with anything, if I had just a little piece of the wood it would make it that much easier."
She noticed Klaus was fidgeting, she knew that look, he knew something, something that could help them but he was afraid to tell them.
"Can I talk to you for a second? Alone?" She said to Klaus.
He looked like he was going to tell her no but then put a smug look on and said "lead the way love."
She walked into one of the bedroom and shut the door behind them as soon as she turned around he had her up against the door. "What are you doing?"
"This is what you want isn't it?" He put his mouth to hers, she fought him off but not nearly as quickly as she should have.
"Seriously Klaus what part of, I'm married do you not understand?" She said almost shouting.
He looked at her curiously "You liked it, I can feel it, something has changed since the last time we seen each other but I'm not sure what it is, before all I felt from you was anger and hate but now it's completely different, I can feel the lust, the desire, your want for me."
"I do not want you" She stated trying to hold her ground.
He took a step toward her and she automatically took a step back "See you can't even be close to me."
"That's not because I want you it's because I despise you."
"No you don't" But he didn't say anything else about it after that, he didn't push the issue "So what did you want to talk to me about?"
Buffy was so flustered that she almost forgot. Then finally getting her head clear she remembered "You know something about the white oak stake don't you?"
Klaus's eyes met hers and he sighed "I really don't want to help you with that, you know it being the only weapon that can kill me I really don't like to let it out of my sight."
"You have one?" She just caught on to what he was saying.
He didn't answer her, she could tell by the expression on his face that he really thought they would use it on him.
"I would never kill you" She said honestly "And I'd make sure no one else did either."
Her honesty threw Klaus "Why, you hate me remember?"
She smiled "You know that's not true."
Klaus sighed "I'll get it for you."
"Thank you" she said as she opened the door looking back at him one more time before leaving the room.
As she walked back into the other room she could tell that everyone was pretending like they hadn't just heard everything that went on in the bedroom. She didn't mind them overhearing about the white oak stake it was the more personal stuff that she didn't like the fact that someone else knew except the two of them.
"Alright it looks like we have a white oak stake on our side" She looked around at Elijah and Rebekah and knew right away that they had already knew about the stake.
Rebekah was still holding the now sleeping Talon, Buffy looked at her and seen the young woman who has always wanted nothing more than love and was always denied any true happiness because of her brother. She knew she needed to talk to Rebekah about what Mikael had said, she knew this was going to tear their family apart but if Mikael would announce this to her then she only imagined that he'll make sure Klaus knows as well.
"Will you help me get Talon back in the car?" Buffy asked Rebekah.
As they walked out to the car she asked her if she would take a ride with her. Rebekah was starting to understand why she wanted her by herself. They finally made a pretty good distance from the compound and Buffy decided now was the best time to tell her what she learned from Mikael.
"There was one other thing that Mikael thought I might want to know." Buffy said to Rebekah.
"What's that?" She asked.
"He told me about you and Marcel and the last time he was in New Orleans"
Rebekah looked scared "You're not going to tell Nik are you, he would never understand."
Buffy shook her head, she knew it wasn't a good idea to keep anything from him but he also knew that something like this would possible break him. "But I can't say the same about Mikael."
"What am I going to do Buffy, if he finds out he will kill me and Marcel." Rebekah was in tears. "I tried to call it off but it was too late."
"We need to get the white oak stake from Klaus and we need to get it now before Mikael tries to turn him against you." She said to the blonde vampire.
"Why would you do that for me?"
"I know that sometimes people make mistakes, yea the mistake you made was huge but I also know how Klaus is and he will never forgive you and honestly I'm afraid of how he'll take the news." Buffy told her honestly.
Rebekah eyed Buffy "What's going on with you and my brother?"
Buffy looked at her surprised "Nothing you know I'm married."
"Uha" was all she said.
