(Not a complete chapter) I had an idea I couldn't get out of my head. I'm really nervous to see the response. Enjoy!
Three weeks later: Klaus's perspective
Klaus strolled into the den with a smile plastered to his face, "Morning brother. Pleasant dreams?" Klaus looked over to Elijah who was laid out on the couch in the same clothes he'd being wearing for the past several days. "Your stench is revolting go shower."
Elijah looked up at him with glazed eyes and said, "Go away Niklaus."
Klaus chuckled and said, "Come now brother don't be dull."
"How can you be so chipper when the woman you love has left you?"
Klaus felt his face fall. He didn't want to think about Caroline, about her not coming back. He had to believe that this was just one of their fights and she'd be back soon. "Caroline will be back once she'd cooled off and sees what I did was for the best."
Elijah glared and said, "I'd have to disagree. The situation should have been handled differently and even you Niklaus know it. Maybe if you'd admit your wrong Caroline might actually talk to you."
Klaus huffed and went over to pull his brother off the couch. "Come on. We need to find out what Marcel is up too. I called the Senator and no one seems to know where he is. Don't you find that a little odd? Also not one person has asked where our dear Mitch is. Marcel is up to something brother I can feel it."
Elijah ran a hand through his hair and said, "Why don't you just talk to Rebekah?"
Klaus frowned and said, "Little sister is keeping too many secrets."
"If I help you will you leave me alone after that?" Elijah asked.
Klaus smiled and said, "Of course." He watched his brother get up and walk out of the room.
He decided a little torture was just what he needed to start the day.
He walked down into the basement where Mitch still hung or what was left of him. He'd cut off each one of his toes one by one, then he watched Elijah cut off each of his fingers. They then burned each end to stop the bleeding. They'd continued to cut tiny pieces of his skin off and burn over the place to keep it from bleeding. Mitch was so hacked that he barely resembled a person. He was given just a bit of vampire blood to keep him alive.
"How's the rapist today? Feeling pain today I hope?"
Mitch looked up through one eye. Klaus laughed when he realized they'd already taken it and continued to laugh when he realized Mitch wouldn't be answering because they'd taken his tongue as well. Klaus went to grab some darts and have himself a game. He drew an odd-shaped dart board on Mitch's hacked at chest. He took several steps back and began to try to hit the target. Mitch's pathetic screams were music to his ears.
After a few games he heard Elijah making his way towards them. "Enough Niklaus." Klaus turned around and laughed.
"I was just getting to the good part."
Elijah smiled and said, "But it's my turn brother."
Klaus continued to laugh and said, "By all means."
Klaus watched as Elijah picked up a sword and went over to Mitch. "What shall we cut off today?" Elijah pointed towards Mitch's dick and Klaus laughed and clapped his hands.
"Finish this brother." Elijah sliced the sword through the air and continued through tissue. Mitch's screams became cries that sounded like screeching.
Elijah pulled Mitch's head up and said, "You're disgusting and you have no right to live. You tormented Leah for far too long. You hurt her so much I'm not sure it can even be fixed. I don't know if I'll be able to help her but I can do this one thing for her. I can make it to where she never has to fear you again." Elijah pulled back the sword and Klaus was in awe as he watched his brother literally cut Mitch in half, splattering blood all over them both.
Klaus walked over to Elijah and said, "I think we'll have to shower again." Klaus laugh but when he looked at Elijah he saw nothing, just a blank stare. He pulled his brother along knowing that Leah leaving was killing him just like it was killing him that Caroline had left too. Klaus was just able to hide his pain easier than Elijah.
Elijah's perspective
"Rebekah." Elijah greeted as he walked up to the table his sister was sitting at.
"Hello Elijah." Rebekah greeted back with a happy smile.
"I see your glowing. First time I've ever seen you this happy." Elijah hated that he was jealous of his own sister.
"I am. Klaus for once has been true to his word and stayed out of mine and Marcel's life until now at least. So tell me what is it that Nik wants?" Rebekah asked as the happy smile vanished and anger put in its place.
Elijah shook his head, "It's complicated Rebekah but it has something to do with his dealings with the Senator."
Rebekah frowned, "The timber? What about it?"
"That's what Niklaus wants to know." Elijah watched his sister closely trying to find any dishonesty in her face and voice.
"I'm not following." Elijah saw genuine confusion on her face.
"You don't know do you?"
Rebekah frowned and said, "Know what?"
Elijah shook his head and said, "Not important." He kissed her cheek and left quickly.
"Did she tell you what her lover was up too?" Klaus asked.
Elijah shook his head, "I don't think she knows anything. If Marcel is up to something he's left her out of it."
Klaus smirked and said, "Either he cares enough to not want to involve her or he doesn't want him to stop her and I doubt it has anything to do with love."
Elijah sighed, "Maybe it's nothing."
"No it's something and I'm going to find out." Elijah watched Klaus storm off.
He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Caroline.
"Hey, Elijah." Caroline answered so sweetly. "What's up?"
"Nothing. I was just calling to see how you were doing?"
Caroline laughed and said, "Liar. You called to see how Leah's doing." Before Elijah could try to deny it she continued, "She's doing better. Less nightmares but she's still pretty nausea during the day, I think it's her nerves. Do you…do you want to talk to her?"
He could hear her hesitation, "No we both know she doesn't want to speak to me."
"Come on I know you care about her and I know she cares about you." Caroline pleaded.
"Are you going to talk to my brother?" He knew it was dirty but it was out before he could stop it.
"You know that's not fair. I love Nik and if he'd just apologize, hell does something. I keep waiting for him to call or show up with my favorite flowers and beg me to come back. But he hasn't." Caroline said the last three words with such sadness it made him feel terrible.
"I'm sorry Caroline. Niklaus loves you but I feel you may be waiting for something that is never going to happen."
He heard Caroline sigh. "Then I'll just keep waiting but I can't, I won't wait forever."
Elijah hung up knowing their conversation was over. He couldn't figure out how to fix this, any of it. It got him thinking back to Rebekah and made him even more jealous. Why could he and his siblings never be happy at the same time?
Leah's perspective
"Was that Elijah again?" Leah watched as Caroline turned around quickly and smiled.
"Yeah. He misses you. I think you should give him another chance, like you did with me."
Leah shook her head and said, "I don't think I can."
Caroline huffed and said, "Why not?"
Leah felt the tears roll down her face, "Because I might be pregnant."
Caroline froze and for a second it was like time stopped. It didn't last long before Caroline was talking again, more like yelling. "Wait what? You can't. Elijah's a vampire. If you were pregnant that would mean it's…" Caroline's face paled.
"Mitch's." Leah finished for her.
"Oh my God, Le-Le." Caroline pulled her in close and just held her. Leah couldn't think about what that would mean. Mitch had raped and beat her, she couldn't be pregnant with his child, didn't want to be. She'd always wanted children but not this way, never like this.
"What do I do Care?" Leah said trying to stop the tears long enough to speak.
Caroline shook her head, "I honestly don't know. If you where would you want to keep it?"
Leah thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. I've never liked the thought of abortion but I like the thought of Mitch's child even less."
Caroline smiled softly and said, "It wouldn't be Mitch's child it would be yours. You know I'd help you Leah. Being a vampire I'll never be able to have children but I know I could be a kick-ass Aunt."
They both laughed and Leah said, "Okay. Let's get a test and find out."
This is a mini preview of this chapter. I wanted to get it down and see what ya'll thought before I continued. Love it? Hate it? Too crazy? I want your thoughts! Review!
