Blackwood – Chapter 6
Cassern
Aidan's POV
It's been three months since I left Mystic Falls with Tyler and Jules. Tyler's been getting better at handling full moons and Jules is actually a decent person when she's not being manipulative. Tyler gets a call from Carol, she got in an accident and is in the hospital. So, Tyler and I go back to Mystic Falls, a place with nothing but drama. But Carol got hurt and I do want to see if she's all right.
We're back in Mystic Falls and we get to the hospital, to Carol's room "Tyler? Aidan?" She said drowsy "Mom." Tyler said and gently kisses her forehead "You're back." Carol said "We're back." Tyler said, I smile. We leave Carol to rest in her room when Jules walks up to us "What are you doing here?" Tyler asks, "I should be asking you that. I told you not to come." Jules said "She's my Mother. I had to." Tyler said, "Now we have to get out of here; lock yourselves up before tonight." Jules said, oh yeah, I almost forgot that the full moon was tonight. We're out in the parking lot when someone calls out our name "Tyler? Jules? Aidan?" They said, it's Caroline "I'll give you a few minutes." Jules said, Tyler goes and talks with Caroline. I walk with Jules when suddenly my brain feels like it's on fire I groan in pain and everything turns black.
I wake up in a bed groaning, gripping my head "Sorry, about that." Someone said, it was a man. He has blonde hair and blue eyes, also an accent. He's a vampire and an ancient one because he radiates power, my instincts are telling me to run. I shallow a lump in my throat "I'm Klaus, an Original Vampire." He said, original vampire? "What, you're the first vampire?" I ask, he smirks confirming my answer "Yes, I'm one of the first vampires." Klaus said, one of them? There's more? "And what do you want with me?" I ask nervously, scared of his answer.
Klaus walks slowly towards me I have to stop myself from backing away "I wanted to see the last living were-panther." He said, I look away "Also, the last living Blackwood." I mumble sadly. Klaus chuckles "No, you're not." He said. I look up at him "What?" I ask surprised "Yes, your last living relative wanted me to find you as a favor but I have to admit, I don't want to give you up yet." He said smirking. Okay, I don't like this conversation anymore, I side-step Klaus running past him out the bedroom and to the front door, I open it only to be stopped by an invisible wall. Must be some kind of spell I turn around to find Klaus in front of me "Where are you going, love?" He said smirking.
I growl, my eyes flash emerald and bring my claws out "Ah, so you can control your abilities, interesting." He said, I charge at him. He dodges all my slashes and grabs both my wrist and painfully squeezes them. I scream in pain, he leans in close to my face "Bad kitty." He whispers, "Let me go!" I growl, he does "Are you calm now, love?" Klaus asks, "Stop calling me that." I say irritated. I look around at the apartment and see… "Elena?" I ask but I catch her scent, she's a vampire. She that vampire who's been impersonating Elena I have no idea what her name is "That's Katherine, Elena's doppelganger." Klaus tells me. Hm, not sure what a doppelganger is but I'm guessing it's the reason why everyone is after Elena.
Klaus told me what's been going on in Mystic Falls these past months and I'm glad I left when I did, now I'm starting to regret it "You're awfully calm, planning your next escape?" Klaus asks, I shake my head "Just biding my time." I tell him "Well, don't you want to hear about your relative?" He asks "What's the point, since your holding me hostage." I say. Klaus grabs my chin and gently lifts it with so I'm looking up at him "Of course your gonna see him but I want to spend some time with you, get to know you before I hand you off to him." He said, I smack his hand away and sit down on the couch. Klaus smirks "Well, I've got a curse to break." He said and leaves. I look at Katherine, god, she looks exactly like Elena or is it the other way around. She gives me a fake smile, I roll my eyes and get up from the couch, and go to back to the bedroom.
The full moon is out I can feel it, Klaus is probably doing is ritual as we speak, I wonder where Tyler is? I hope he's somewhere away from people when he's transforming. More time passes and I feel an intense need to shift. I get up and approach the front door opening it, I push my hand towards the doorway. The invisible wall is gone I step past the doorway "Where are you going?" Katherine asks "Out." I answer walking away.
I shift into my panther form and run, I don't know where to but I'm running. I find a wolf in the wood tearing apart some campers, I growl. The wolf notices me, we circle each other growling and snapping our jaws at each other. Then we charge at each other, clawing and biting. This last lasted for almost two day, the wolf was stronger but I was able to keep with it until I collapsed from exhaustion. I wake up naked, and see Klaus and a Dude in a suit "You've been busy." The Suit said "That was amazing. How long has it been?" Klaus asks "Almost two days. Full moon came and went. You remained a wolf." The Suit answers and throws some clothes to Klaus.
I get up and sneak away as Klaus gets dressed "And where do you think your going, love?" I hear Klaus say, I attempt to run but The Suit is in front of me in seconds. Okay, he's a vampire too, I chuckle and turn around to find Klaus in front of me smirking with clothes. He pushes them on me and I put them on "Niklaus, who's this?" The Suit asks "This is Aidan Blackwood. Aidan, this is my Brother, Elijah." Klaus said introducing us. I look Elijah up and down, he's ancient like Klaus, and powerful. My instincts telling to run from him too, if only I where in my panther form I might be able to escape.
We get back to the apartment that Klaus is occupying to find Katherine and Stefan, who she has pushed up against the wall "Klaus, you're back. Look who decided to come for a visit." She said. Klaus looks at Stefan "You just keep popping up, don't you?" He said "I need your help… for my Brother." Stefan said, I roll my eyes. I hope he's suffering "Well, whatever it is, it's gonna have to wait a tick, you see, I have an obligation to my Brother that requires my immediate attention." Klaus said.
"You understand how important family is, or you wouldn't be here. My Brother gave me his word that he would reunite me with my own." Elijah said, "And so I shall." Klaus said then stabs Elijah through the heart with a dagger. Klaus pushes Stefan against a wall "Now, what am I gonna do with you?" He asks Stefan. While they hash out their problems, I attempt to sneak away when a stake flies past me nearly hitting me and stabs the wall next me "Where do you think you're going, Aidan?" Klaus asks, I sigh "Nowhere… nowhere." I say "Sit." He demands. I growl and mumble curses as I sit down on the couch.
Well, I learned some things today, Stefan was a blood addict or ripper as Klaus called him some years ago, and Klaus' blood is a cure for a werewolf bite. Klaus makes Stefan drink a bunch of blood bags before giving him his blood for the wolf bite on Damon… well, he gives it to Katherine to give to Damon and if I'm being honest, I kind of hope she doesn't give it to him.
After Klaus makes his deal with Stefan, he turns to me "This is the second time you've tried to escape and there won't be a third." He said. I raise an eyebrow "Really, how do you know that?" I ask. Klaus leans close to my face "Because if you try to escape again, I'll have to do something drastic. Like kill your Cousin Tyler." He threatens. I growl and he smirks "Glad we have an understanding, love." Klaus said "I said, stop calling me that." I mumble.
Later, we go to a warehouse where Klaus has Elijah stored in a coffin, he has two men take away the coffin and put it with four other coffins. I wonder who's in the other coffins? My phone has buzzing all night with missed calls and texts from Tyler, suddenly my phone is snatched from me "I'll get you a new phone." Klaus said as he crushes it in his hand. I glare at him "Come on, time to go." He said, I follow after him and Stefan. Great, I'm going god knows where with two vampires doing god knows what, I have relative I never know about and he's been looking for me. And I have an ancient hybrid who seems to have some kind of obsession with me.
