Chapter 10:

"So tell me Arianna, what questions did you had for my brother? I am sure I will be delighted to answer them myself as well." He said in his charming voice. The thoughts running through my mind were both question but also encouragements for me to keep my mouth shut and head back to my room without speaking a word. I ate my dessert and drank my glass of wine under the watchful eye of Elijah who seemed even more worried than before due to my silence.

I sighed and looked at Elijah instead of Klaus. I gave him a look, one that said I am sorry. Next I nodded at Klaus and Elijah and got up and left the dining room, I wasn't going to say a word in front ot that men, not a single one.

Leaving to my room felt like the biggest relief there could be and a huge weight fell off my shoulders. Klaus had scared me, more than before. I hurried to my room and closed the door and leaned against it, my eyes closed and a very deep sigh escaping my lips.

Once I opened them I saw Klaus. I yelped and tried to open the door but he was faster and held it shut. My body was trembling with fear while I turned around. I could feel his breath down my face and the heat of his body through my clothes. The idea of him being so close scared me even more than just sitting down the table, something I found most terrifying until now.

I didn't dare to look into his eyes, but I knew they must have been full of rage.

"Tell me your question?" Klaus demanded.

I tried to vanish in the door but that didn't work obviously.

"I wanted to know what you are, cause Elijah must be the same, but he doesn't scare me to death." I said honestly while I was still quivering like crazy. He laughed and let go of the door and I just stared at him like he was crazy, like he was out of his mind.

"What's so funny? I don't qualify this as funny. I am dead serious and I would love for you to answer why I am here that would be perfectly fine too." I now snapped at him. The fear was getting to me. I knew Klaus long enough to know that this funny, laughable side could turn to cold rage. "Tell me!" I demanded. I had waited long enough for answers.
