I do not own The Originals

Hey people thanks for reading! Love to hear what you think! Hope you have a wonderful week.

Tesla should have known that they would catch up with her. She should have never felt like they couldn't touch her where she was. She got comfortable and now she was tied to a metal chair in a warehouse somewhere tied down. Earlier that day she couldn't imagine this day going any worse.

She and Klaus were walking down Main Street. They were laughing at something which was funny because Klaus never laughed at anything. It had been a week since the incident in the forest which meant that she had less than two weeks before she was allowed to leave. She had a countdown in her phone. She was so excited to leave this crazy twisted family. She really hoped that Klaus wouldn't ask her to stay longer. Or rather she really hoped that he wouldn't try to compel her or she would have to sneak out and hope that he wouldn't be too upset with her to follow.

Every morning since the forest had been rather enjoyable; enjoyable being the operative word. They hadn't been completely horrible though or as exciting as the first. She decided that she was glad about that. Since the first day she had seen Klaus snap three people's necks but they were all vampires so she wasn't too upset.

This particular morning they were just walking down the street window shopping though she assumed that Klaus had another reason for being out here because he kept looking around like he was waiting for somebody.

"Expecting someone?" She asked him and he just looked at her like he did sometimes that made her laugh. "Well today is rather boring Klaus are you sure you don't you want to kill someone? Rip someone's throat out? Perhaps that guy" She said pointing to a random guy crossing the street. "He looks like he may need a really awful day."

"You act as if you have never taken a life." He said. This was also something they did. She would accuse him of something and he would pull the hypocrite card.

"Touché." She said nodding and looking in a window to her left with shoes for sale and moved on. "However I don't kill people at will so that I can make a statement. That is what swear words are for."

They turned a corner and Klaus walked into a small shop and she questioned him before following him in. It was a very small shop with a small front window that told her that it was a tailoring shop. A medium height thin man greeted them in another language that Tesla did not know but apparently Klaus did. The men talked for a while. The tailor was old but he seemed to know Klaus well. Klaus gestured to Tesla and said something and the man came over to kiss Tesla's hand. Tesla smiled and thanked him as the man gestured them into the back. There he had the whole set up and it was almost like stepping into another world. It was a world where tailors ruled. Because there was no way that anyone else could find anything back here except for the man who was running around getting things as Klaus took off his jacket and his shoes and set them on a chair. He unbuttoned his shirt and put it on top of his shoes. He went to remove his pants and she held up her hands when he looked at her comically.

"I plan to keep my briefs on." He was enjoying this too much. "Are you squeamish love?"

"No I just don't need to get that close to you Klaus." She said "I saw a bench outside I will just go." She walked out of the shop as Klaus chuckled. When she reached the door and got outside she wondered why she was so nervous. She thought of Klaus undoing his belt and she shook the image out of her mind. She was very glad that she wasn't under Klaus' compulsion but she wished that she didn't remember the way that his mouth felt on hers. It was distracting and something that she thought about more than she should have. He would love to hear that so she made herself put it out of her thoughts

She calmed herself down and grabbed herself her emergency cigarettes that she kept in her pack. She hardly ever smoked just when she was nervous. She had smoked when she was a human but being a vampire she didn't have to worry about the one smoke a month giving her lung cancer. It was a comfort thing for her. So she lit it and leaned up against a brick building opposite the tailoring shop. Her eyes were closed as she blew smoke out cringing at the smell that would stick to her clothes. However it did calm her nerves.

"Tesla Coos?" A woman's voice called to her. She opened her eyes and smiled at a petit red head with spiked heels and a short close fitting black dress. Tesla herself was wearing red skinny jeans and an oversized black and white Tetris sweater pulled together by her beat up combat boots. She felt a little underdressed next to this woman who looked like she had just come out of vogue. .

"Yes?" She asked the girl who just smiled at her and didn't answer but she looked like she had just won the lottery. "Do I know you?"

"Maria Kestora." She said holding out her hand for Tesla to shake. Tesla took it and nodded.

"Well you already know who I am." She said still keeping her friendly voice in place. "Have I met you before?" She thought about where she could have met the girl before. She had been to New Orleans before and she had met tens of thousands of people.

"My name is now Kestora because I recently got married." She said

"Congrats." She interjected taking another drag from her cigarette

"Thank you "She gave her a wide smile "My maiden name is Lestire`" She said and time slowed down for a minute. Tesla moved her fingers from her face and dropped the cigarette to the ground. She looked up at the girl whose face had gone from beautiful and friendly to huntress in seconds. Tesla made a sound that sounded a lot like 'ah' before she turned the other way and began to run.

Thinking back on the morning she realized that she hadn't been fast enough. She wouldn't be too hard on herself. The Lestire's were a lot older than she was. They were certainly a lot stronger than she was which is why she was in this situation.

She was sitting on a very uncomfortable metal chair her feet were bound and her arms were behind her tied together. There was an IV shoved in her arm with what she assumed was vervain hooked up to it. Her body was sluggish and she could barely hold her head up. She was in a very big room she only assumed it was a warehouse because she had watched way too many horror movies.

So now she was just waiting for the Lestire's to come and exact revenge.

The Lestire's were a huge family of vampires. It was very odd for a whole family to be vampires. But it seemed that they had all turned each other. There were eight of them all together; well seven now. They ran the entire vampire content of Australia for about ten years and fancied themselves some sort of royalty. They were not people that you wanted to piss off and unfortunately Tesla had. She had killed the Jeffery Lestire`.

About two months ago she had been in a vampire club in Sydney when a man had come up and started to flirt with her. Jeffery Lestire` was the prince of the royalty in Australia. She had laughed with the suave good looking guy and when he had asked to walk her out she had let him. However when she had hailed a cab everything had gone black. When she had woken she was tied to a bed in a sleazy motel. The chains that she was bound with were infused with some sort of vervain but it had little to no effect on her because she had been taking it for so long. But the man that came out of the bathroom didn't know that.

The guy had been a psychopath even though he seemed to be so normal outside of the room. While she had been waiting for her perfect opportunity he had brought out a knife as some sort of game and cut her open as he drank her blood before her wounds healed. He did this over and over kissing her and cutting her until she had had enough.

Her plan hadn't been to kill him. Though there was no way of knowing how many vampires he had done this to before her. When she broke free he had been upset and gone on an anger path slashing at her with the knife he had used to cut her open as some sort of sword as he slashed at her. He had pinned her to the bed and he started driving the knife through her rib cage. She had panicked and ripped a piece of wood off the headboard of the bed and shoved it into his heart.

She had gone home but woken up to the sound of pounding on her door as members of the Lestire` family sacked her apartment for her. Someone had seen her leave with Jeffery and told his family and now they had it out for her. So she had to leave. She was on the run for a month before she had come to Marcel's. She assumed that this would be far enough but sitting now where she was she wondered if anywhere would have been far enough. When she heard a door finally open and shoes against the concrete she raised her head to meet the person who would be killing her.

He looked mid-fifties with slicked back grey hair and a dark blue suit. He stood very tall and took his time looking her over. Finally her bent down to her level to look her in the eye.

"Killing you will not bring my son back." He said looking right at her. She had decided that she was going to die so she wanted to die as herself.

"Thank the good Lord for that." She said and the man chuckled.

"My son was a bit of a man who liked to assert his alpha male characteristics on young vampire women." He looked her directly in the eye "I can only assume that you were privy to that."

"You assume correctly." She said. "What did you do to that kid?" She asked.

"Tesla." He said "I am sure that you are a lovely girl but you killed my dearest son and for that I must kill you."

"But…" She prompted him and he smiled at her like this was a normal thing for him

"However I cannot allow you to simply die. My family would like retribution for their sadness and I have promised them this. I am so sorry. The worst thing about that was that he looked really sorry as he stepped back and she saw four other people walking toward her with objects in her hands and she almost began to cry. One had a crowbar and one had a bat. This was a lot like a really bad horror movie.

"Oh dear.' She said as she imagined her body ravaged by the blunt instruments.

'I am so sorry." The man said again as the red head she had met earlier took the first hit at the vampire piñata.

She was knocked to the ground with several blows. The IV was ripped from her as she lay helpless on the ground as she was beaten to a pulp. They wouldn't let up as she laid on the ground and took it. For the first couple times she yelled taunts at them but after her leg and a few of her ribs here broken she took to simply lying on the ground and taking the pain that came.

Her body felt like it was shutting down as she shut her eyes. She could not see anything as her vision was pure white with pain. It was like a mini firework show in her head. She imagined in fireworks were aimed at you and all exploded at the same time that the explosion would feel a lot like how her body felt. The pain was unbearable but as her body was very slowly healing itself she wasn't blacking out like a human would. She wished that she could. Just when she thought that they were done they started in again like they were taking turns. And all she could do was groan.

It felt like years that she was laying on the ground covered in bruises with more broken bones than she cared to count; all of this while she was being assaulted. Then all of the sudden it all stopped and there was noise but absolutely none of Tesla's senses worked so she just lay there shivering.

"She killed my son." She made out. It sounded like the man that had talked to her in the beginning but she couldn't be sure. Someone else responded with something else. She wished she could turn over but she had no strength and the chair made it extremely hard. So she closed her eyes and tried not to think about the pain. She laid there for a moment before someone was calling to her from across the room. The voice got closer and touched her face but she flinched away from it and then she began to cry. She didn't know if she could handle another beating. She felt her warm tears slide down her face as someone picked her up.

They held her close to their chest and whispered to her as she shivered and cried out in pain as her body snapped her bones back into place.

"Shhh… love it will be alright." The voice soothed as she relaxed into his shoulder.

Thanks yall! Don't forget to review!
