"Ardis?" Her names left my lips in a faint prayer.
I could imagine another ending to this tragic moment, she would drop Damons hand and look up with her brilliant grin and laugh, her voice would ring like merry bells during Christmas and enlighten the whole room. She would walk towards me and hold my hand… she would forgive me…
The door to Mystic grill opened and closed, washing her scent away and leaving me all by myself in this pub full of humans. The hope of dying a happy man evaporated along with her as she walked out with Damon.
"Rebekah, darling, where are you? Daddy is dead; it's finally time for a family reunion." I say happily with a half a smile on my face and hang up.
Taking so called 'baby steps' seems to be a good idea, I'll wake the family and then Kol and I can kill Damon for touching her; Kol and I may have had out misunderstandings and we will never be brothers in the sense Elijah and I are but we can look past those issues to punish a man that touched the one we love.
I don't even want to think of that person that is supposed to be my little brother, how could he be my little brother when he has always had affections for my bride…
The phone starts to ring again, "Hello Stephan, miss me already?"
"I wanted to thank you for my freedom."
"Well I like to think that I'm a man of my word… more or less."
"Thing is, it came at a too high of a price Klaus." He said with a sigh. "You took everything from me…" Well I know how you feel, mate. "And now I have nothing to lose."
This conversation is definitely turning interesting, is he planning to threaten me? The hybrid? Even as a man I have nothing to lose, I have lost the only thing that mattered years ago and my family is immortal.
"Let bygones be bygones my friend, trust me resentment gets old, especially for people like us."
I stop in font of one truck that holds one of the most important things to me inside it. It only took a thousand years for this moment… let's just hope that they will be understanding of my decisions… Or at least will not try to kill me.
"You know what never gets old?" He asks just as I lift the back door to the truck, seconds later Stephan speaks again as my eyes burn into the inside of the truck. The empty inside. "Revenge. Missing something Klaus?"
I pull the door down so hard that it broke of the hinges and a piece of metal stayed in my hand. First the older brother takes my wife and now the younger one takes my family, they have not experienced my wrath as they think they have, not yet.
"I will kill everyone you love and everyone you or your loved ones have ever met."
"Do that and you will never get your family back."
I almost snorted at the fact that he thinks the leads will end with him, Ardis may not speak to me or want me anywhere near her but she would help me revenge the family even if it was the last thing she did. She may hate me and hate what was done to her by my family but my siblings always held a special place in her heart, she would do it for them.
"We will see about that, my friend." I answer and hang up.
I will try to do everything in my power to get them back before I will ask for her help, I will not seem weak and it might actually be some fun to play with the Salvatore's. God knows this town needs some entertainment.
After calling reinforcements or more like my minions to do the dirty work since I don't like to get my hands dirty unless it's necessary, I fill them in on the latest news. And by necessary I mean completing the little gilbert brother to throw himself in front of a car, you know, just in case a demonstration is in order. What is one more human? He would die sooner or late anyway.
I delegated work for the hybrids; they might as well make a use of themselves if I can make them bid to my wishes, and got Tony to come with me to the grill. Apparently Damon, my blood bag and the amateur vampire hunter are there along with my love. This might be a little bit entertaining, and I will get to see her again.
"And what is my most attractive look?" Damon questioned my blood bag the moment I walked in, surprisingly neither of them noticed me walking closer to them.
Walking over silently I saw Damon walk closer to the brunette wrench but then my eyes landed on my beauty and I couldn't look away, she must've been made for me because for me she is perfect, everything about her is flawless as if she were my own personal goddess.
I heard Elena say something but I didn't listen to the words, she held my attention even when she wasn't aware of it. She was dressed in a short dress that showed off her creamy toned legs, the dress made my fingers twitch from how badly I wanted to explore those legs with my palms. To feel that heat on her skin when we touched and see the redness creep onto her cheeks when my hands travelled up higher.
"Don't mind me." I interrupted the lovers' feud and lock eyes with my love.
I became lost in the forest of her eyes; the forest that used to be so erratic and bright like spring was now deserted and insensate like fall. I could practically see the hurt along with many unanswered questions that dimmed her glow.
"What do you want Klaus?" Damon asked and made me look away from those endless eyes.
"Now I don't know what you're talking about, I just came to the local pub to grab a drink with a mate." I lifted my hands in an innocent fashion. "Get around to it, would you tony?" I said and let a small smile show on my lips while I kept broke the small stare I shared with Damon and looked at Elena. "My sister seems to be missing."
I pretended to look at the human but in all honesty I didn't know or care what she was doing, if she answered, all of my attention was on the most powerful being in this pub; she was more powerful than me, I would do anything she asked of me if it meant she would forgive me.
I looked to the darts in my palm before throwing them, it' probably the closest I will get to her; she touched them a few minutes before me and her scent still lingers on them. I wanted to badly to lift them to my nose and inhale the ethereal smell that's been haunting me for centuries.
"Your brother stole from me and you seem to think that you can touch what is mine," I said looking at Damon and throwing one of the darts at the board, breaking the dart in half, then looked to the brother lover, "I need him found so I can take back what's mine" I explained to her before turning back to Salvatore, stepping so close that all he can see is my face, "and you need to keep your hands to yourself if you want to keep them, because next time I won't just break them." I threatened and walk off without another look at either of them.
I could smell that cheap trash all over her, mixing with her delicious scent from their nightly activities, I didn't even want a drink anymore, no, I just wanted to break something.
Why did everything have to fall down in the space of a few days? Why did she pick him? Why is she still around him? She should be nowhere near any males!
My thoughts lead me outside where a human bumped into me, the man didn't even get to apologise before I snapped his neck. After the satisfying click I angrily flung the dead body into the nearby lamppost, breaking the post so that it fell onto the floor and shattering most of the bones in the dead body; the man's blood dripped in a red stream like the rivers of Babylon.
I let out a laboured breath and took another in to calm myself down despite the intricate thoughts in my mind. Loud steps made their way from the inside of the grill out the door and behind me.
"Take care of this, will you Tony?" I asked brushing the invisible dust off my hands before walking off to meet with a witch.
