A/N Thank you all for reviewing.


Chapter Ten—Bad Girl

"They cry out for mercy, they cry out for mercy, they cry out for mercy..."

Arms held out Leilah gracefully walked across the thin railing with ease, singing underneath her breath. She giggled as she looked down at the compound below her which was bare. Klaus had gone to see her brother and she wasn't sure where Davina went to and truthfully she didn't care. The witch hadn't let her taste her and in Leilah's mind that was the ultimate insult. But she did care about where Kol had gotten to because she was looking for him.

She had missed him when he had been dead.

Both times.

"Uncle Kol! Come out and play with the princess. She wants her knight to join her in the dance of death."

She laughed happily when she almost fell from the railing down below but re-gained her balance without much effort.

"Uncle Kol!"

She felt a hand grasp hers and she gasp at the skin contact, instantly recognizing the feel of the person holding onto her.

"Right here, darling."She turned her head to see Kol standing down beside her, looking up at her with a smirk."You looking for me?"

She nodded, smiling at him."The moon led me to you. Said you could stop the voices that make me sad."

"I can try my best. Come, love."

He pulled on her hand and she jumped down.

He pulled her up against him, snapping his teeth at her, making her giggle happily. She leaned up and pressed her lips to his for a moment, moaning against his mouth when his lips worked hers passionately. He backed her up against the railing, hands cadging her in. He hummed, knuckles running down her cheek as he whispered about how much he had missed their trysts against her mouth. She laughed happily, fingers curling around the lapel of his jacket, keeping him close to her, as if she feared that he would disappear.

Kol pulled away with a reluctant groan and looked down at her.

"Come, darling."

"Where are we going? What about Hope?"

Kol chuckled, hand on her lower back."Camille is taking care of her. My darling niece will be fine."

He led her along the hallway towards the stairs.

"When last did your brother let you have some freedom?"

"He worries."She defended her brother, looking up at the older vampire."Don't be mean."

"I'm never mean, love."He said, arm wrapping around her waist."But you need some fun. Why don't we have some fun?"

She looked up at him and smiled.

"What kind of fun? Naughty fun?"

He just smirked at her.


One Hour Later

"You didn't have to do that."

Klaus followed Lucien into the compound, smirking."I was hungry, mate, it happens."

"He was one of my best men."

Klaus shrugged, not bothered by what he had done.

He had bitten one of Lucien's soldiers because he had been hungry. Lucien valued his men and their loyalty, some of them were nearly eight hundred years old and had been with them for a long time. But it wasn't just that. Leilah was very fond of their soldiers and had a close bond with some of them because they knew how to deal with her mental state.

"You owe me a soldier."

Klaus tilted his head, chuckling."I'll get right on that."

Lucien crossed his arms over his chest, sighing.

"Where is she?"

Klaus pointed to the staircase with a smile."Third door on the left."

Lucien nodded and flashed up the stairs, making his way down the hallway until he reached the door Klaus had told him about. He had to be gentle about waking her up otherwise she would be upset.

He softened his voice and turned the handle gently.

"Leilah, my sweetheart,"He started, opening the door softly."It's time to go home."

He entered the room, shutting the door behind him, leaving the light turned off because she hated the bright light. He slowly made his way over to the bed. He smiled as he knelt down beside the bed and reached out, ready to wrap his arm around his sister and pull her close.

But he was met with just air.

His smile fell.

She wasn't there.

"NIK!"

A second later a gush of wind hit him and Lucien stood, frowning. His eyes darkened and a growl left him when he turned to his sire, snarling.

"Where is she?"He demanded.

Klaus shook his head, looking just as shocked as he was."She was right there."

"Well she's not there now!"

Panic flashed in Lucien's eyes and he ran a hand over his face, trying to think of what happened to his sister. Klaus stepped forward and pulled back the duvet, frowning when he realized that Lucien was telling the truth.

She was gone.

"I put her there myself. She must have left on her own."

"That can't happen?"

Klaus nodded, understanding."I know that."

"She can't go out on her own."Lucien said to his sire."She can't handle being on her own, it's not right."

He turned to his sire, voice dark."We need to find her. If someone took her and they touch one hair on her beautiful head, i'll tear their heart out through their throat."

Klaus nodded, making his way out of the room."I'll get right on that."


"I feel naughty."

Kol looked up from the local he had been feeding on."That's a good thing, love."

Giggling to herself, Leilah swayed alone, rocking back and forth as she danced happily. Her arms held out beside her as if she were flying like bird, she shut her eyes and swung her hips to the music that was coming from the speakers. Kol watched her for a moment, a smile on his lips, before he sank his fangs back into the man pressed up against him.

She felt free.

She felt like a bird.

"I like birds."Leilah whispered to herself as she flapped her arms."They can fly away whenever they wish. Fly, fly, fly."

As she turned around and faced the bar, her eyes landed on two young woman cowering down beside the bar, their bodies shaking with fear. She smiled happily, going down on her knees. With a childlike giggle, she crawled towards them, her dark eyes trailing up their bodies.

"Pretty, pretty, dearie."

They shuffled away, hugging one another.

The older one shook her head, eyes filling up with tears.

"Please, don't hurt us."

Leilah tilted her head, frowning."I can't make that promise."

She flashed forward, fangs extracting, and pulled the younger girl to her. The elder one screamed in shock as Leilah's fangs sank into her friend's neck roughly. Her victim cried out in pain as her blood was drained from her. She fought and struggled against the female vampire, trying to push her away but it wasn't working. Leilah groaned in hunger as blood landed on her tongue and her eyes fell shut in pleasure.

She pulled away from the girl when she noticed that she was no longer breathing.

She pushed the girl away from her and stood, blood dripping from her chin.

"Don't worry, little one."Leilah smiled nicely, wiping blood from her chin as she tried to soothe the younger woman."I'll be more gentle with you."

Kol shook his head from the booth behind her and shoved away the young man he had been feeding from. He stood, stepping over the dead bodies on the ground, and made his way over to her.

"We're vampires, darling."

Leilah gasped when hands landed on her hips and turned her around roughly."We're not weak."

He grabbed her hand and twirled her around in a circle before pressing her against him. He cupped her face in his hand and smirked when her eyes fluttered. He leaned down and his forehead fell against hers as he began to rock with her to the music.

"We do not show mercy, we do not care and we will not be gentle because we are better than them."

"Even Santa?"

Kol chuckled and nodded."Even old Saint Nik, love."

She pouted then nodded, understanding what he was saying."Will you not be gentle with me?"

"Never, love."Kol whispered against her, kissing her temple."I give you my word."

She giggled as he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.

She moaned against his lips when one of his hand came up and cupped the back of her head, fingers tangling in her long dark hair as he pulled her close. He backed her against the bar behind them, trapping her in between them as his free hand settled on her hip, keeping her close to him.

They were suddenly interrupted them a voice stopped them.

"Leilah Anne Castle! Get away from him."

The two broke the kiss and looked to the left to see Klaus and Lucien standing by the door, unamused. Klaus' eyes were dark with anger and so were Lucien's. They weren't happy with the sight.

She pulled away from the Original and whined at her brother."You're yelling, Luc!"

He frowned, knowing that he was upsetting her.

She held her hands over her ears and shook her head."Don't!"

"I know, i'm sorry."He said, holding out his hand."Come over here."

Leilah nodded and stepped away from Kol, skipping over to her brother.

Kol watched after her, an unimpressed smile on his lips as he turned and faced his brother and Lucien. He sighed, ready to be lectured by them. He wasn't in the mood, he'd had an entire night planned for himself and Leilah, a night that had been long overdue.

"What game do you think you're playing, Kol?"Klaus demanded.

"Are we playing a game?"Leilah gasped, looking up at her brother."Can I play?"

"No, sister, not anymore."Lucien hushed his sister, placing her behind him."Only bad people play the game."

She pouted, looking down at her feet. Klaus stepped forward, hands behind his back and arched an eyebrow at his brother."Well? What are you up to? You know she isn't supposed to be touched. What did I tell you?"

"Don't be jealous, Nik."Kol chuckled, leaning against the bar."We were only having some fun."

"She can't have fun!"Lucien hissed at the elder vampire."Not with you, anyway."

"You wrap her up in cotton wool, mate."

"She's my sister."

"Well she's more than that to me!"Kol hissed at Lucien, a dark look in his eyes."It's been that way for a thousand years."

Klaus blinked, processing the information. He turned around, facing the female vampire. He frowned at her, as if he didn't believe her words.

"What is he talking about, Leilah?"

Klaus flashed forward when she didn't respond.

He reached out and lifted her head with his index finger underneath her chin. He forced her to look at him, her dark eyes meeting his blue ones. His thumb stroked her cheek before he ran over her lower lip, making her inhale sharply.

"What does he mean?"

She smiled up at him innocently."We were dancing the dance of death, Nik. He makes the voices stop."

Klaus didn't respond.

"That's good, Lei, but you cannot-"

"She can,"Kol cut in, sipping on the drink he had poured himself."She's a woman, not a dog you can bark orders at."

"He's right."

Lucien turned to Klaus, shocked."Since when were you of healthy mind?"

"She's a thousand years old. She's going to do whatever she wants despite us trying to tell her otherwise."

Leilah giggled, holding Klaus' hand."Daddy's upset. He doesn't like his little princess going out of the castle unguarded."

"No, love, he doesn't."Klaus said.

Klaus cupped her face in his hands and leaned forward.

His lips smashed against hers and he kissed her hard and fast, demanding her response. She happily responded to his kiss, arms wounding around his neck and pulling him down. They kissed harshly, teeth and tongues clashing as they fought for dominance. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her up against him, smirking when she moaned happily against his lips.

A moment later they pulled away.

He smiled down at her, cupping her face again, blue eyes shining. Klaus Mikaelson was a selfish man and he didn't want to release Leilah because he enjoyed her and cared about her too much. But if he had learned one thing about having a child and fighting for her it was that he couldn't control everything, even Leilah.

She was still his.

But he had to share her.

"Do whatever makes you happy, love,"Klaus said against her lips, knuckles brushing her cheek."But know that whoever hurts you I will drain dry. Don't forget about me, will you?"

She shook her head, smiling.

"Never. You're my daddy."

"That's right."

Klaus kissed her once more before he turned and left.


"Did I do something bad?"

Lucien looked down at the brunette in his arms and shook his head."No, of course not. I just don't like you going off without me, Lei, you know that."

"I know but I was with uncle Kol. He wouldn't let anything happen to me."

Lucien didn't reply, he just carried her into her bedroom and settled her down on the bed. He lay her down and she kicked off her shoes, shuffling up to the top of the bed. She patted the space next to her and Lucien sighed before he smiled, obeying her. He kicked off his own shoes and got onto the bed next to her, opening up his arms.

"Come here, love."

She giggled and smiled before she snuggled into his arms, locking them around her waist."Remember when we used to do this when we were little?"

"You remember?"

"Of course I do."She said, looking up at him with a grin."You used to be scared of the thunder and couldn't sleep without me there."

He tapped her nose, waggling his finger."Don't you go telling anyone, Lei."

"I won't."

He stared at her for a long moment.

"You're my world, Lei, you know that, don't you?"

She was his entire universe, his day and night as well as his sunrise and sundown.

There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for his sister and he couldn't imagine his life without her.

She nodded, lips curving up into a smile. Her hand came up and she cupped his cheek, thumb stroking back and forth. He smiled at her, looking down at his hands, suddenly shy. She turned him into the shy boy once again, she took away all the walls he had built up and the persona he had made.

She was everything to him.

"You understand that, don't you?"

She nodded again.

"I know,"She whispered, eyes wide."The moon loves you too, brother."

He nodded and smiled at her, meeting her eyes.

She did understand somethings, and they mostly with Lucien she understood.

She leaned up and pressed her lips to his. His eyes fluttered shut and he responded to the kiss, lips moving against hers gently. She tilted her head and deepened the kiss before she pulled away a moment later.

"It's just us, brother."

He nodded, hand holding her smaller one.

"It's us against the world, sister. Until the end of time."
