Chapter 11:
I sat there dazed and confused on my bed, trying to get all the information in my head together. It was so much he had told me, in the weirdest and most gentle way I had never seen of him.
After my outburst to Klaus he was silent and just observed me from the corner of my room. How I would have loved to run out of the room and call for Elijah his help but I knew I would be harmed in the progress. I walked carefully to a chair and sat down, my hands still obviously shaking from the fear. Looking at my hands brought me nowhere so I looked up to meet Klaus his patience waiting eyes. "Can you at least tell me what it is that you are? And why your are being so cold and heartless to me." I asked him softly again cause him being silent and observant didn't get me anywhere.
Klaus walked over to me. I shrieked back into the chair. He obviously seemed startled by this movement and just sat down on my bed. "Truth be told Arianna. It wasn't my plan to bite you or make you even more scared of me then you already were" He started. I observed his face carefully letting him tell his tale. "I envy my brother, He seems to get along with you so well. Over the past few days, when I told him about my slip up he became furious. I simply told him I couldn't manage myself after you found my office. I said something just snapped in me." Klaus said. I just sat there my mouth almost open by what he was telling me. Should I believe this? I just needed to talk to Elijah for it to be confirmed.
"I am a vampire. I have been for centuries and yes that means I survive on human blood as my source of life" He said and I gasped looking at the door for my escape. He chuckled and shook his head. "Don't be afraid Arianna. I won't hurt you anymore, as long as you don't do anything foolish." He said in the most amused voice I've heard him talk in.
"Elijah is one too, my entire family is, Arianna. This entire village is crowded with vampires." He said and I got up. "Arianna I wanted to tell you that the main reason for you being here is your safety. The vampires roaming the village are on a killing spree, woman are to be raped and murdered brutally. I couldn't put this fate upon you, your father is safe I promise you that, nobody is to harm him" He said.
I nodded and swallowed hard. "Thank you" I whispered and went out of my room to search for Elijah to confirm this all. Just because I trusted him more than I trusted Klaus.
