Mikaelson's Manor.
Next day
With Clytemnestra
Clytemnestra White sauntered down the elegant stairs of the Mikaelson mansion. She was tired of yesterday evening as all the men wanted to dance with her but Kol ,Elijah and Klaus never left the side of her ,except Elijah who after the middle of the night could not find him. She had some conversations with Bonnie Bennett and the lawyer could understand why Kol fell in love with her ,the girl had a fire inside her but Clytemnestra afraid that this fire would burn her best friend. Stefan Salvatore was the man that her blonde friend needed as the boy is kind and soft. The human boy Jeremy Gilbert was exactly the opposite of his sister : shy, polite and with humanity.
Tyler Lockwood was a classic human boy of the school with sarcasm and self-confidence , captain of the team and many girls round. She knew that Niklaus had killed the mother of the boy because he had to learn a lesson but Clytemnestra had given a hard time to Niklaus about that because the lawyer know how it is to lose a mother.
The hunter of team Salvatore ,Alaric Saltzman. Alaric is a Human, Vampire Hunter, former history teacher at Mystic Falls High School and guardian of Jeremy and Elena Gilbert. He was a smart man and for that he knew he should not be near her.
The lawyer dislikes many people. People who try to control her and manipulate her ,who are trying to put her rules and limits and many more but she i not going to add to her list two insignificant and spoil teenage girls because they didn't want her playing in their sandbox.
She has more important things to do.
Clytemnestra strutted into the glorious black and white kitchen that Rebekah has imported from Italy the previous month. The human danced into the room while singing a song that had popped into her head before interring. "I got chills. They're multiplyin'. And I'm losin' control. Cause the power, you're supplyin', it's electrifyin'!"" she replayed the film by throwing her nightgown on the floor just like Danny Zuko does at the start of the song.
She jiggled her way over to fridge, taking out the carton of milk before setting it on the counter, "You better shape up, 'cause I need a man and my heart is set on you." she started to search round the cupboard looking for the cereal. She finally stumbled upon the right one. "Damn tall people," she said realizing it was up at the very top shelve. She started to wave her hand about in hopes of retrieving it.
Klaus looked up from the newspaper once he heard Clytemnestra start to sing. He quickly dismissed her looking back down at his morning paper. He let her get on with her task, trying to contain the urge to chuckle. She hadn't seemed to notice him in the kitchen at all; her eyes were closed to give more of an effect to her singing. He glanced over to her after hearing her insult to tall people. He was speechless when he saw her without the nightgown she had on before. She wore a black satin v-front nightdress with lace holding it together at the back. He immediately got up to help her when he seen the red lace panties (if he could call panties) through the transparent nightdress.
"May I be of assistance?"
Clytemnestra heard a familiar manly voice coming from behind her. She froze her movement when she felt his hot breath near her neck. All she could do was nod. She felt one of Klaus' hand rest on her waist which she presumed was for balance, the other slide up the right side of her body. He reached up and got the box down without any struggle. His hand lingered on her waist before he removed it walking back to his earlier sitting position. Clytemnestra turned around to see him reading the paper, was he here this whole time? Her cheeks went red in embarrassment. Klaus looked to be wearing black silk PJ bottoms that hung loosely around his pelvic bones.
"Are you modelling or what?" Clytemnestra came in to the room. "It looks like you're trying to sell a kitchen to newlyweds; no actually it looks a bit like a set for porn. If I hadn't of walked in I bet you would be doing it on the floor or counter, wouldn't you? No wait Rebekah would kill you, you can-" he was interpreted by Clytemnestra.
"Shut up Nikolai," she warned. "You're ruining our whole kitchen for newlyweds theme going on, I like your pyjamas especially the cape." she looked down at the original wearing a batman onesie."
"Thanks, Elijah got it to me for Christmas along with some watch that is still in the box," he smirked. "You look rather ravishing in that nightdress, where did you get it?"
"That watch was a limited edition Rolex," Klaus murmured.
Clytemnestra scurried over to where she had dropped the nightgown and put it around her body once again. "Everything is mine except the nightgown which is your sister."
"Well you look very sexy in the lingerie," Kol grinned. "Don't you agree, Klaus?" Kol watched as Klaus head shot up from his newspaper.
"As I was saying that watch that I got you was expensive and if you will not wear it, give it to me," Klaus spoke. He did not care about the watch, he just didn't want to answer Kol's question. Sexy was among the many words that Klaus would use to describe Elena's attire. ''Damon wants to tell us something''
The two originals and the human lawyer headed to the boarding of Salvatore's family.
At Salvatore's Manor
"What the fuck is she doing here?" Asked the doppelganger. The Mikaelson's growled. Not a very good start, sweetheart. Not at all.
Elena stood up, glaring at her in what she thought must have been a threatening manner. Klaus merely chuckled, and turned towards the doorway.
"I would propose you sweety that you watch your language. If I wanted to kill you believe me I would have done it by now." Clytemnestra snapped.
''Go Buffy''said Kol and Bonnie hits him on the head but she could not stop the smile that appeared on her face as saw happy faces of her boyfriend. Kol does not often smile but only when he is with his brothers Or her ,she has caught him one day to smile when Rebekah ,Tyler ,Kol ,Bonnie ,Jeremy and Stefan were at Manor of Lockwood and played Xbox eith the other three boys.
"What?" Tyler, Stefan, Jeremy and surprisingly Damon exclaimed while Caroline and Alaric were confused, the angry expression didn't fade from Elena's face at being ignored all night
Clytemnestra spurts out a giggle and shakes her head. She smacks the boy on the back of his head "Buffy? Seriously, Nikolai?"
He laughs at her as she playfully scowls at him "What the hell is up with that?"
He grins and winks at her. There are various chuckles and giggles throughout the group.
"Maybe if you hadn't staked Katherine, then he wouldn't be calling you Buffy." Rebekah said. Clytemnestra grins broadly.
"The bitch needed to be taught a lesson and I was more than happy to give it."
"Bad ass" Elijah says proudly.
Elena is shocked and appalled at what is hearing. "You find killing someone funny?" She states, outraged.
Clytemenstra shrugs and nonchantly says "I didn't kill her, I just staked her in the stomach. She deserved it."
Klaus grins and shakes his head, "Aim for the heart next time."
''Can someone tell us what's happening?''asked Caroline and the Jealousy had slithered into her veins like a venomous snake, filling her heart with poison.
''I and Elijah are dating''said Damon and they turned to their guests, family, and friends who were looking shell-shocked particularly Elena who was seething with rage and jealousy.
The two shared a glance and looked away. Stefan was looking at Damon as if he'd grown another head and Kol was poking Elijah who was ignoring him with his face somehow completely composed as if it hadn't been revealed that two people who many of them thought hated each other had slept together.
"Where's all this coming from?" Elena asked suddenly, like she had only just noticed Damon's hositily towards her when he had been making it apparent since he realised she would never love him the way he had loved her and would continue to use him and it for her own gain
FLASHBACK
Elijah turned his back to Damon and made his way to the balcony outlooking the backyard. Damon followed him slowly. The backyard consisted of beautiful lush gardens. A whif of the flowing flowers travelled to his nose. He watched as Elijah leaned casually over the railing, exposing his long legs under his suit. Damon made his way to where Elijah stood, the gardens were the most peaceful thing he had seen in the last few days.
"Do you enjoy this view?"
Damon waited for a response, but nothing came. "It's perfect" he added.
Again he waited. He looked at Elijah. Elijah looked down below then back up the sky's turning hues.
"Indeed, the view is wonderful"
"Elijah?" Elijah didn't look at him right away.
"How can I help?" Elijah turned to him. Damon's mind went blank under Elijah's stare. Those eyes
"I can't help but feel that I will never truly be happy as long as I am undead. My humanity is gone."
"You want to be human again?" Damon asked
"Well, wouldn't you, to feel again?"
"Well, not to sound so emo, yes it would be nice to feel"
Damon waited for Elijah to speak. Elijah spoke, his voice sounding smooth and passionate. "I miss being able to blush, to feel innocence and guilt swell in my heart. And to feel pain that will not heal in seconds.." Damon missed that too.
"To have my heart race in the most delicious way when I am frightened or..." Damon couldn't help his mind from wondering. He imagined a very naked Elijah, heart racing and face lost in pleasure. Damon snapped back to reality when he saw Elijah stand up straight and face him. His face was flawless, and handsome. He couldn't look away.
"I never did thank you for undaggering me..." A smirk was present on his lips now. Damon stared at them, they were...full and, and damn it, he wanted nothing more than to push Elijah into the balcony and take that smirk right off him!
"So thank me" Damon was unaware of how dry his throat became. He tried to play it off, clearing his throat.
"Well Damon,
considering I saved you all those times...I'd say we are even, wouldn't you agree?" Elijah was very aware of Damons eyes on his lips. He was careful to pout them out.
"Hmm? oh yes how could I have forgotten you had to be the hero and save the damsel in distress..." Damon remembered Elijah standing over him after ripping those chains off him. Then how Elijah had his hands on his throat and his chest the other night at dinner. To hold him down of course, but fuck, how he wanted Elijah's hands to touch him again.
"A damsel? You are referring yourself to a helpless woman in need of a man to save her? I can hardly agree with that, then again, I can hardly disagree as well..." Elijah chuckled. That was a little too much HARD for Damon to control himself... He stepped closer to Elijah. Elijah's eyes looked down at the distance getting shorter between them and smiled at Damon. "If you keep looking at me like that..."
"Like what Damon?" Now Elijah stepped closer. Damon growled and reached his hands out to grab the ends of Elijah's tux. Elijah grabbed Damon's wrists and twisted them around. Damon tried to pull away, his wrists twisting in pain from Elijah's strength. Elijah pushed him backwards till he was against the railing. Their legs lined up and touched. Damon didn't like the fact he was being dominated.
"Don't Damon"
"Don't What?"
"You shouldn't want this, you should be running away"
Damon arched his back off the balcony. For more than one reason. One, to gain control. Two, to prove to Elijah that he wouldn't never run away from anything or anyone! And THREE, to put Elijah in his place and show him that it wasn't just him who wanted this. Damon has had that bullshit thrown in his face way too many times and he was fed up. He wanted someone to want him too damn it!
As soon as hips colided, a loud gasp filled the air. Damon smirked as he backed Elijah into the railing this time. The gasp that escaped Elijah's lips were enough to throw him into his usually cockiness. He traced his lips lightly over Elijah's jaw. He looked up into Elijah's eyes which opened as he realized Damon stopped. Instantly their lips connected. Neither know why or how but next thing they knew were each other's mouths inside and out.
It was slow and passionate and then it got rough and hard, then it was slow and soft again. It was a kiss that Damon found most interesting out of all the kisses he had recieved in his hundred someodd years of life. He was more curious than ever to see and feel this man's body and tongue all over him. To hear Elijah's moan because he was losing control.
END FLASHBACK
Elijah and Damon's eyes briefly meet and they seem to have a silent conversation before looking away. The rest of the room watch the exchange with curiosity and slight jealousy over their relationship as they clearly both love each other and are happy together. Elijahs siblings all smile, happy to see their older brother finally happy and peaceful in love just as he deserves.
"Damon" Elena snapped angrily ,finding her voice for the first time that night .She wasn't used to being ignored ,and since when was Damon gay anyway ,Elena though,she hadn't expected him to take her rejection so hard that he would just switch teams, she just had to set him up with a nice girl,This way he would owe her forever
"How can you say that about me?''said Elena and then she gave a pitiful whine "They tried to kill me or, don't you remember?"
Damon sighed in annoyance; the girl really got on his nerves "So did you ,You are the one who forgot who she is talking to "he spoke slowly as if trying to explain a difficult matter to a stupid child causing The Originals ,Clytemnestra and Salvatore Team to laugh"And they are your enemies not mine ."
"Are you compelled?" she dumbly asked, Damon had never spoken to her that way .he was in love with her and Stefan wasn't even trying to protect her .They were supposed to love her forever and fight over her instead of putting her through the hardships of having to choose one or the she changed her tactics and let the water works do their job and mentally grinned when Damon approached her "When did, this happen?" she asked sourly,
She was angry and jealous, any man could see that, but in Damon's opinion, she had no right to be. She wasn't dating him, she had shut him down at every turn - claiming that, "It's always gonna be Stefan" - so Damon was free to do as he pleased confirmation. He nodded.
"One-night stand?" Elena folded her arms, a disdainful look in her eye.
"Well we didn't exactly go out for a moonlit walk around the park and talk about our future," Damon said sarcastically, not believing she had the audacity to act like such a hypocrite towards his partner, when she knew full well she was dating the Ripper of Monterey. "That's what boring couples do," he said in annoyance, scrunching his nose up.
"And why do you always assume that my choice in bed partners are always one-night stands?" he asked indignantly. She did have a point though; nearly every sorority girl or drunken from a bar that he picked up nearly always ended up in his bed and was promptly shooed away like a stray dog after the best night of their lives.
"Because that's all you use them for," Elena pointed out, a disgusted look on her face. Of course she was going to play the innocent Mother Teresa when it came to that. Damon didn't even need to compel them for sex, they asked. Although now he only used them for blood.
"You use me," Damon shrugged, watching Elena's face contort into a taken aback expression. He didn't know whether it was because she was going to protest and deny it, or because deep down, she knew he right. "What's the difference?" he asked nonchalantly.
"I don't use you, Damon!" Her voice raised an octave or two while she shook her head, looking affronted at such an idea. Or rather, the cold, hard truth.
"Yes you do," Clytemnestra piped up and Damon looked at her in surprise. "I've seen it countless times," The lawyer told her while her affronted look quickly turned into a harsh glare towards him. "Katerina was exactly the same," she pointed out and Damon nearly yelled triumphantly. Finally, somebody who wasn't him realised it too.
"Don't compare me to her!" she all but screeched madly. "I am nothing like her!" she hissed acidly at them.
Damon snorted in disbelief; she was in complete denial about her wrong-doings, not that it surprised him.
''Shut the hell up''said Caroline to Clytemnestra. ''You know nothing about us. You just appeared from nowhere and you think you know them all and that you're a queen''she nearly screeched. Klaus used to be fond of her, but now he wanted nothing more than to rip her head off.
"Oh go back to your fashion magazines and sparkly gay vampires, Barbie," Caroline looked affronted, and Clytemnestra pushed her away gently, creating some space between them both.
Stefan watched as his brother and Elijah kissed enthralling the onlookers by their passion and beauty while memories flooded Stefan's mind, Memories as an only child till the age of 16, He was an unhappy child with only a handful of friends , a negligent father and pitying servants.
Damon's crystal blue eyes sought out his brother's emerald green ones which were looking at him with such sadness that it was heartbreaking , He reluctantly extracted himself from Klaus' arms but not before pecking his stubble-roughened jaw
"Are you alright, Stefan?" Damon softly inquired once he was standing in front of his brother
Stefan stoically nodded, not meeting Damon's piercing eyes and Damon mentally slapped himself .Of course Stefan wasn't alright, and it was a lot to take in such a short time
"Come with me." Damon sighed offering his hand to his brother which he accepted.
Damon efficiently maneuvered them through the dancing crowds of the much livelier Ball after the music had been changed to much modern songs and music .he met Nik's worried eyes and gave him a smile that said "I'll explain later"
Damon led Stefan to what looked like a work-out/training room, they were also some neatly displayed jeweled swords and daggers.
"Even vampires needed to exercise to keep fit and be in shape " Stefan thought as he entered the wide room
"Tell me what is wrong."Damon softly coaxed his brother who looked ready to bolt at any second
"Wrong" Stefan scoffed "Nothing is wrong, I've only just lost my only living family, and it's nothing really."He tried to sound cool except if his eyes were glittering with unshed tears..He couldn't tel his brother that his heart was breaking or that he wanted to greet the sun,sans ring, or that for the first time in his life he felt like an orphan.
Damon didn't respond, instead he brought one of the daggers, Elijah's he presumed, he guessed and stood in front of Stefan's tense form
Damon hissed slightly as he slid his dagger across his soft palm then repeated the same action on Stefan who was now watching him stoically ,Damon quickly grasped their hands together so they blood mingled ,the ultimate sign of family in the vampire world .
"You are the blood of my blood, Stefan "Damon said looking into his brother's eyes, so soulful and full of conflicted emotions "You are my blood, my brother's bloodline."
"You are still my family Stefan."Damon assured hugging his brother close to him then kissing his forehead
"Nothing will ever change that"
"What about Klaus or Elijah?"Stefan asked hesitantly,His history with the hybrid wasn't exactly great,quite the opposite really .
"Klaus will never hurt you Stefan, you wanted to blame your lack of control on somebody else and Klaus was the perfect candidate."Damon explained ""Trust me, you will get along well.,He considers you his friend"
"Promise you would never leave me."Stefan ordered in a strong voice that cracked slightly at the end
"Never" Damon vowed then they left the room.
"Damon how could you do that?" Elena said accusingly, glaring at the both of them. "He's killed me, tried to kill you,his brother turned Stefan into a blood crazy psycho, he's a horrible person," she may as well have stamped her foot on the ground, he had never seen her composure shatter so quickly before.
"Thanks, Elena," Elijah said, smiling sarcastically at her, "thanks."
"And I thought you loved me!" she turned to Damon, looking like a fish out of water.
"No, it's just a problem for you, remember?" Damon reminded her, and if Klaus was a teenager, he would have yelled 'pwned!' from the sidelines, but he had more class than that. When he was sober anyway.
"Damon, you know I didn't mean-"
"So now, I've found someone who it isn't a problem for," Damon smiled warmly at him, and Klaus grinned at her to say 'I told you so'.
"You're compelled," she muttered, nodding her head as she scrambled desperately for a reason as to why Damon could have fallen out of love with her, "you have to be," she said, folding her arms. Stefan and Caroline stayed quiet, they knew the truth, but weren't telling her. Aww, is it going to hurt her poor feelings? Klaus sneered at them.
''And him?.''asked Elena pointing at Klaus.''He is a monster who likes to kill and terrorize everyone even his own family. He tried to kill me and...''
''For the love of the god. SHUT THE FUCK UP'' Clytemnestra's voice bellowed, echoing thru the house as it reached the ears of the men who stood on the terrace.
The team Salvatore watched as the Mikaelsons winced and their eyebrows rose in slight amusement. Certainly the Originals Vampires was not afraid of a human?
Clytemnestra walked up to stand next to Klaus and leaned towards him slightly.
''He is the reason Jeremy wasn't here Elena Niklaus asked Tyler to compel Jeremy and leave so YOUR LITTLE BROTHER WOULD BE SAFE AND YOU STILL WANT TO FIND A WAY TO KILL HIM. Know this if Niklaus gets hurt and I find any of you were behind it there is nothing that will stop me I will be worse than Niklaus on a bad day. How long have you known that your family used to hunt vampires? How many times has Jeremy been used against you? I mean come on you're just sitting there making plans to kill Niklaus with Damon who killed Jeremy right in front of you. I mean, yes I agree that Klaus did some stuff and he is a complete arse most of the time when he doesn't think about what he is about to say or when he does something and thinks it's for the best but it isn't. But at least he didn't feed from your best friend and compel her to steal something she gave away in the first place nor did he make a deal with you and renege on it the first chance he got, nor did he lie to you about what he wanted. From what I have been told by everyone including you he's been pretty upfront about everything. Niklaus made sure for the past months your little brother was taken care of, safe, and away from harm. The only reason Tyler brought him back to this town was because I said to Niklaus ''
Elena felt she had to say something. "I think the only reason you are so worried over him is because you are compelled to care about him."
Klaus stopped walking at this point knowing there was no longer anything he could say that would calm his friend.
Elena looked shocked and rightly so, it looked like she had been used to getting her own way. Everyone bending over backwards to please her, but now there was someone more powerful than the originals combined and he was telling her off like a child that had been caught sneaking cookies Elena started "Ok Clytemnestra you're right, but he did kill his mother-"
Righteous fury made its way through Clytemnestra's body causing his blood to boil, and his fists to clench. Clytemnestra pulled her lips back in a snarl as she snarled out.
''Firts it is to you and you have no idea why so don't sit there and presume to think you can judge him especially since it was before any of you except for Kol, Elijah, and Rebekah were even born. Have any of them tried to figure out the exact reason behind him killing his mother? If they have, then maybe he told them if not then, that's their fault. You need to keep your nose out of things that have absolutely nothing to do with you."
Clytemnestra looked around one last time and tried to calm herself down. Klaus had been standing at the door since Clytemnestra blew up on Elena.
"What about Elijah? He is just as much at fault for everything that happened after Niklaus did his ritual as Niklaus is if you think about it because he didn't uphold his end of your little bargain." Clytemnestra laughed "Face it the only people you allow to change are the people you feel are really good people but you're not a good judge of character."
