A/N Thank you all for reviewing, it really means a lot to me. I can't begin to tell you how much I love hearing from my readers.
Chapter Seven—Pretty Princess
"Pretty girl, aren't you?"
Hope giggled up at the female vampire, clapping her hands as she plopped down across from her, handing Leilah a green crayon. Leilah giggled herself and looked down at her coloring in book that she had taken for herself and Hope. She returned to coloring in the grass while Hope colored in the lake with blue. She shook her head when Hope went outside the line, making her whine a little before she smiled, her tolerance for children kicking in.
She tapped the paper, gaining Hope's attention.
"You must stay in the lines otherwise daddy won't be happy."
Hope laughed at the mention of her father.
"Daddy!"
Leilah nodded, giggling again when Hope started to color the clouds blue."Yes, daddy. He likes it when i'm a good girl."
Hope growled, scrunching up her face as she pretended to be her father."Bad Jackson!"
Leilah nodded again, frowning at the mention of the wolf."Bad doggie, that's right."
Hope's tongue poked out as she went back the lake, long lines of blue counting as coloring in while Leilah liked to be neat and stay in the lines. Lucien, who had business to attend to, had dropped her off earlier after taking her to the store to get some toys for herself and Hope. She had been happy just sitting and playing with the child because Hope's mind was just as childish as her own and she liked the daughter of the hybrid, she amused her.
"How are my girls doing?"
Hope and Leilah looked up, smiles on their faces."Daddy!"
He chuckled as he leaned down and picked up his daughter, kissing her cheek as he propped her on his hip."Hello, my littlest wolf. It's nap time."
"Oh, no."Leilah whined, standing up, pouting."We were having fun."
Klaus raised an amused eyebrow, smirking."You can still have fun with me, sweetheart."
She giggled as Klaus led Hope over to her crib and placed her inside, kissing her forehead and wishing her good dreams before he covered her with the blanket and left the room with Leilah.
"Come, love."
He shut the door behind him, placing his hand on Leilah's lower back as he led her along the hallway to the front room.
"Did you have fun today?"
She nodded, smiling up at her sire.
Klaus cupped her face, bringing her toward him."You've been a good girl today, love."
"I have?"
He nodded, thumb moving over her lower lip, his eyes flickering between her eyes and her lips. He enjoyed her lips, they were full and plump and they responded well to him just like her body did. He pulled her towards him, lips brushing her temple as his hand moved down her arm and settled on her hip. She hummed against him, mumbling nonsense into his ear as he looked down at her, forehead resting against hers.
"Where is your brother off to then?"
She looked up at him and replied."Tristen knocked down some of our soldiers so Luc is finding some more."
"He attacked you?"
She nodded, fingers curling around the lapel of his jacket."Uh-huh, Lucien was very mad this morning. Someone is going to be punished and for the first time it isn't me."
He ran his fingers through her hair, chuckling."But you enjoy being punished, don't you, love?"
She nodded, smiling."Yep. But I am a good girl."
"You are."
Leilah giggled when smiled at her, hand cupping her cheek, fingers moving over her soft skin.
"As long as you're good, sweetheart, I won't have to punish you. Unless you really want me to, of course."
Klaus had never harmed her, the punishment was not getting his attention or him yelling at her but he had never raised a hand to her. He thought of harming her below him because she was ill, it wouldn't be right to harm her. The fun part for her was trying to get his attention and not getting his attention would make her upset because he was her sire, she believed she was turned to please him. She felt like a small child when he yelled at her, she felt horrid and because he was the main male in her life she got emotional when he yelled at her, she hated being shouted at by her sire.
She hated being shouted at by any man.
She looked up when she saw her sire lean forward, about to kiss her, but he was stopped by a female voice.
"Klaus, what the hell is this?"
She heard her sire let out an irritated sigh as he pulled away, turning around."Hello, little wolf."
"What is she doing here?"Hayley demanded, gesturing to Leilah."She tried to kill me."
"She wouldn't have killed you."Klaus said, frowning as if he didn't understand Hayley's words."She just did it to torture you."
"How do you know that?"
"Because she knows that I wouldn't have been happy about that." Klaus simply replied with a shrug."She wouldn't do anything to purposefully upset me and when she does she learns from it, don't you, love?"
Leilah instantly nodded, a bright smile on her face."I'm a good girl."
"You're crazy, that's what you are, you bitch!"
Hayley hissed, her fangs coming forward and her eyes turning amber."I'm going to skin you alive."
She snarled as she flashed over to Leilah, a growl ripping from her throat. Leilah simply smiled when she was suddenly thrown to the floor when Hayley lunged for her, knocking her feet out from underneath her.
"Hayley!"
Leilah giggled when she felt Hayley backhand her across the face, making her head snap to the side. She didn't react when the hybrid queen attacked her, hitting her roughly. Hayley cupped her face, banging her head off of the ground as she cried out in anger, cursing Leilah's name as she growled at her, punching her in the cheek, scratching at her face with a wild cry.
She giggled again, not fighting back even though she would have won."More! More!"
Hayley raised her fist to hit her again but she didn't manage to touch her because she was pulled away from the Castle sister.
She felt herself being pulled up by Klaus, her wounds healing.
"Brother, I was having fun."
Her eyes landed on her brother who had Hayley up against the wall, his fingers locked around her throat."Don't you dare lay a hand on my sister."
"I-"
Lucien squeezed her throat, making her cry out in pain."Do you understand me?"
"Klaus, tell him to stop."
Klaus chuckled, holding up his hands."I'm not getting involved, love."
"Do you understand me?"Lucien repeated.
When she didn't reply he pulled her forward before smashing her back against the wall.
She groaned out in pain, hitting her head off the wall and when he threatened to harm her more she weakly nodded."Yes."
But he didn't let her go. He kept his fingers around her throat and he face was beginning to lose color. Leilah clapped, giggling happily as she watched her brother dominate the young woman.
"The king expects her to bow down but this is not his birthday."She smiled, rocking by herself, humming low in her throat."Maybe it will come later if he behaves with the queen!"
Klaus frowned.
"That's enough, Lucien."Klaus said.
"I don't think so."
"She is the mother of my child."Klaus hissed, pulling Lucien from Hayley who slumped to the floor, massaging her throat."When I say it's enough it's enough."
He pushed Lucien away from Hayley and the other male vampire stumbled backwards. He instantly turned to his sister and looked her over, glaring at Hayley when he saw the tear in her dress. He sighed as he fixed her hair, knowing how much she would get upset if it was ruined. She smiled against him, forehead falling against his, his lips brushing her forehead as he whispered to her, ignoring those around them as he fell into their own world.
"Are you okay?"
She nodded, smiling before she kissed him on the lips, hushing him."I'm good. I'll be okay."
He let out a sigh of relief, chuckling as she nuzzled against him.
"She ruined your pretty dress, love."Lucien's voice softened as he cupped her face, smiling down at her."No matter, i'll get Valerie to fix it."
Leilah opened her mouth to respond but was beaten to it.
"Now, now, old friend, I think she looks prettier with nothing on."
Klaus stilled at the voice.
Lucien witnessed the color drain from Klaus' face as he froze, his blue eyes vulnerable.
Klaus slowly turned around, fists clenching by his sides and he let out a sharp breath when his eyes landed on someone he thought he'd never lay eyes upon again.
He chuckled, stumbling backwards as he processed what he was looking at.
"Miss me?"
1492—England
"Don't run, darling, you're only making it more fun for me."
Mary sobbed as she tripped over her own feet, hitting her head on the ground, making her cry out in pain. She screamed out in fear when two hands grasped her ankles, pulling her backwards. She screamed again, trying to wriggle away, fingernails snapping in half as she tried to claw at the ground.
"Please! Please, no!"
She heard laughter behind her."Don't beg, it's not becoming of a woman."
She cried out as she was pulled back against her attacker then turned onto her back, her head hitting off the ground again. Kol chuckled as he hovered over her, straddling her as he leaned down, finger running over her head wound before he popped his finger onto his mouth.
"You're tainted, love. I hate those who are tainted."
"Please don't hurt me."
"Pain is good. It teaches you things."
She whimpered as his hand ran up her leg, making her flinch."Please..."
"Tell you what..."He crawled up her body, leaning down so that he was face to face with her and smirked."Just because I like you i'll make it quick, as a gift from me to you."
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she stared up at him, wondering what he had done to her husband. He had murdered their entire village for fun and had compelled his way into their home. She whimpered again as he chuckled, delight in his eyes, as if he were getting some childlike enjoyment out of it.
"Do what you must with me but please do not harm my children."
"I won't harm them but I can't promise you that I care what happens to them."Kol shrugged, cupping her face in his hands, wiping at her red cheeks."Don't cry, i'll all be over soon."
He raised his head and her eyes widened when she saw red spider veins appear underneath his eyes and his eyes turned red. He parted his lips and she witnessed a pair of fangs extracting.
She screamed.
"DEMON! You're a demon!"
He grasped her chin between his fingers and chuckled."That's right, love."
He grabbed her face and moved her head to the side, smiling when she screamed again. A hungry growl ripped from his throat as he leaned down and was about to bit into her throat.
But was stopped when a sweet voice hit his sensitive ears.
"Uncle Kol!"
He froze, shutting his mouth, eyes narrowing playfully as he leaned back up.
He turned around and smirked when his eyes landed on Leilah.
"Hello, darling."
Leilah, hands behind her back, strolled up to him, standing over them. He let the woman go and stood up, pressing down on the young woman's throat to make sure she didn't attempt to run off.
"What are you doing here?"
She smiled at the reason she was there."Visiting daddy."
His smile fell but he quickly grinned again, amused."Of course you are."
"It's his birthday today."
"That's why i'm here."Kol held out his arms, gesturing to the dead bodies surrounding them."I can't stand being around the bastard around this time. He gets more attention than he already does."
Leilah frowned, eyes darkening."Don't be mean about Nik. He's my king."
"Then why are you here?"
"It's his birthday." She frowned, wondering why he was asking again.
"I meant what are you doing here with me?"He tapped her nose with his finger, stepping closer."You know how much I despise my brother."
She blinked up at him, as if confused by his question, and opened her mouth to reply. But before she did he pressed his finger to her lips, shaking his head.
"Don't lie, love. I'll have to punish you if you do and it won't be nice. Did you sneak out?"
Leilah nodded, obeying the elder vampire she hadn't seen in ninety years.
"I did sneak out. Lucien won't be happy."
He frowned, confused but amused at the same time."Why did you sneak out to find me?"
"Daddy yelled at me again. I tried to bite Katerina."She whispered, looking down at her feet."But you never yell at me. I like that. It makes butterflies flutter in my tummy."
He couldn't stop the grin that crawled onto his face. She had snuck out behind her precious brother's back and her sire's back, travelled a few miles, to find him.
It certainly did amuse him.
"How did you find me anyway?"
She simply shrugged, blushing."I followed the screams. I follow the screams to find my uncle Kol, I always follow."
He chuckled as his hand cupped her face, thumb moving across her lips, the familiar touch of their skin pressed together making him smile.
"That you do."
Leilah giggled, looking up at him now, her eyes shining with laughter.
She was no longer sad.
Because of him.
He sighed, unable to stop himself, leaned down and claimed her lips with his own. He kissed her hard but somewhat tender at the same time, something only Kol Mikaelson could do.
She hummed against his mouth, pressing herself closer to him as he deepened the kiss, tongue slithering into her mouth to find it's mate. The two moaned at the familiar touch and he flashed her up against the nearest wall, the woman laying forgotten on the ground, waiting for death.
He pulled away a few minutes later, smirking down at her when he noticed the blush on her cheeks.
His knuckled brushed the heat on her cheeks, chuckling when she smiled.
"Let's have some fun of our own, yes? Just you and I, darling."
She eagerly nodded.
"Yes, please. Just don't tell daddy."
Kol nodded with a grin.
"I'll be our little secret. Always, love."
Present
"Come, come, brother! Don't tell me you've forgotten about me?"
Leilah smiled at her sire's expression, clearly understanding what he was feeling. He was feeling a whole lot of emotions in that moment and so was everyone else. Leilah giggled shyly, clapping once again as she snuggled against her brother, hand resting on his chest. He wrapped his arm around her again, keeping her close, as he, just as shocked as everyone else, stared at the person he had thought dead.
"It can't be."Klaus whispered.
"It's true. I've come home."
"I-"
Leilah hid her face in his neck as she laughed, causing him to wrap his arms around her tighter, knowing that she was blushing.
"Kol?"Klaus whispered, eyes wide."Brother?"
The man in question held out his arms and chuckled, smirking.
"The one and only."
Klaus's eyes widened again, shock written all over his face.
"H-How?"
All eyes followed Kol as he entered the room, a smirk on his face.
"You can thank the lovely Davina Claire for that."Kol answered Klaus, walking over to the bar and pouring himself a drink.
"But how?"
"The beauty of a witch who, by the way, is completely in love with me managed to find the perfect spell to bring me back in my Original body. Took her long enough, though, it has been a year."
Kol chuckled at himself as he took a sip of his drink, turning around and facing his brother who was still staring at him in shock. Klaus shook his head, as if clearing his mind and flashed over to his brother, pouring himself a drink.
"I can say you have made an impact."Klaus raised his glass with a proud chuckle."Welcome back, brother."
"It's good to be back." Kol honestly said.
"It's good to have you back. I have missed having a killing buddy."
Kol laughed and clinked their glasses, grinning happily.
He had missed being an Original and being powerful.
He had also missed being a witch for such a long time but he would always pick immortality over witchcraft despite the fact he had felt human. He wished, like his niece, he could have both, to be able to feel that much power. But he could always skip into a witch's body and have fun with that if he ever wanted to be a witch again.
"Uncle Kol's home!"
Kol froze at the voice while Klaus laughed.
Klaus chuckled, nodding happily."That's right, sweetheart."
He turned around slowly.
And his dark eyes caught her own dark ones.
He walked around his brother, downing his drink, and began to make his way over to her.
They all watched, frowning in confusion, wondering what was happening.
"Hello, old friend."
Kol just nodded, his eyes not leaving Leilah's as he made his way over to her slowly.
He hadn't heard her voice in nearly a hundred and fifty years and had missed it. He had missed being her partner in crime, their little secret and the fact she tracked him down whenever she missed him.
He had missed her childlike mind, the way she spoke and the way she gasped in pleasure when he brought her to the peak of climax.
He would never admit the fact that he had gotten fond of her.
"Leilah, love."
Lucien frowned as his sister giggled, looking down at her feet shyly.
"Uncle Kol."
Kol tilted his head, eyes trailing up and down her body as his signature smirk curved at his lips.
He reached out and grabbed her hand, placing a kiss on top of it.
"Hello, darling."
