Klaus walked slowly through the woods; despite the rush he took things slowly. Evelyn had always been a very strong and smart vampire for her age…even in her current state she could've heard them. Caroline didn't help matters, every now and then she'd try to speak to him.
"Seriously?! You're married?" She whined make Klaus cringe, she did choose her moments.
"Was…well we kind of still are" He then stopped and turned to her, pining her against a tree. "If you tell a soul I will kill you…Now do you mind? She'll hear us!" He quietly snapped back with a scowl.
She gulped and nodded until he released her. He was worried sick, but mad also, how she could throw her life away like that, he had given her everything. He then began to think about Caroline's response, was it that hard to believe it? It obviously was and still is, he hated the thought of it. How pathetic he was…the notorious hybrid…that'd fallen for a peasant girl.
*Flashback*
Evelyn sat in the guestroom of her future husband's mansion in her gown, she couldn't believe all this was happening, but she wished her sister was here. She smiled down at her little nephew as he gurgled on her lap, she prayed that he wouldn't be sick on her gown, after all today was her day. The door creaked making her turn, her father and Rebekah quietly entered the room with little Alice is tow. Her father walked over to her and kissed her forehead.
"How your sister would've wanted to be here" He muttered quietly making her bite into her lip. She patted his hand that lingered on her shoulder protectively.
"She is father" She smiled up and passed William over. "I must continue" She squealed and continued to prepare herself, with her future sister-in-law's help.
"You have changed my brother" Rebekah calmly stated as she plaited her long black hair. "For the better" She smiled genuinely before returning her concentration to Evelyn's hair.
"What do you mean my lady?" Rebekah smirked at the young girl calling her that, despite being told otherwise. She sighed and sat beside her.
"My brother had a very short temper; he could be cruel and bitter even towards us. But since you he's changed, back to how he was when he was…younger" She lightly laughed "Despite us all fighting we all stick up for each other no matter" Evelyn smiled and patted her hand.
"I shall be by all your sides; you are the kindest family I have ever acquainted with"
A tap at the door caught their attention; it was soon followed by a young maid who signalled the beginning of the events. Evelyn began to shake with anticipation so Rebekah linked arms with her and whispered into her ear.
"Thank you…It's going to be nice having a sister" Evelyn smiled and hugged her before wiping a joyful tear away. She was the luckiest girl in the world.
Niklaus sat in the drawing room briefly reading as Elijah paced around him, Kol rolled his eyes whilst sitting in the armchair opposite them. Elijah was obviously deciding whether or not to say something, making Klaus growingly annoyed.
"Spit it out brother" Kol grumbled whilst rubbing his tired face, he'd been up all night with his lady friends.
"Why are you marrying this girl?" Elijah stated with a concerned look on his face.
"Isn't it obvious?" Niklaus replied without moving his eyes. Kol began to laugh before speaking.
"Our brother is very clever. Marriage is how you get the best girls! Sometimes strumpets aren't pleasing enough" Kol winked as Klaus smirked at his answer, but their older brother just looked at them in disgust. "Speaking of girls, I'm going to grab a quick snack. See you at the event brother"
Kol zipped out of the room without a sound. Elijah then sat beside his brother and leaned in, he was curious. He'd seen it in his eyes but he wanted to hear it.
"The truth brother" He asked the hint of confidence in his voice, something Klaus immediately noticed.
"I want her. And I respect her wishes to wait until marriage" His brother scoffed making him scowl.
"I asked for the truth…you love her" Klaus began to feel uncomfortable "What will you do when she finds out? Are you going to turn her?"
"I will turn her when she wishes…and I will tell her…tonight" Elijah then stood up, he noticed him denying it, denying the truth.
"Come brother…she's waiting for you" He patted his back and walked with him. "You have chosen well, it is rare that one of us finds someone who we all like" Klaus laughed and nodded.
He waited and watched as Evelyn shook in front of him, her nervousness made her adorable. She was beautiful, and he'd kill anyone who thought otherwise. He smiled as it was officiated; now all he had to do was wait till tonight.
Evelyn sat quietly on the bed, her heart racing at the near events; she still couldn't believe she was now married. She remained in her gown but had loosened her hair, it covering her shoulders. Her eyes went up as Niklaus walked through into their bedroom; she still couldn't believe how lucky she was. She saw no flaws in him, he was perfect. She furrowed her brows as he looked concerned, she stood up and walked towards him.
"Is everything alright my love?" He sighed and fell into the armchair, she immediately sat beside him. "Have I done anything wrong?" He shook his head and held her hand gently.
"I have something to tell you…But I don't want to scare you" She gulped in fear, what was going on? "I will never hurt you and that is a promise! And if anyone hurts you I will hunt them down, but do not be afraid" He shuffled anxiously, why was it so hard to tell her? She was just a human, his human, he could compel her. But when he looked into her innocent face he knew that wasn't an option. "I don't was to scare you Evelyn" She moved onto his lap and stoked his hair calmly, he then held her tightly in his arms.
"Please tell me, you're beginning to worry me" He thumbed her cheek and kissed her before sighing again.
"I'm not what you think I am…" She raised her eyebrow "I'm not…human" She pulled back and looked at him with complete and utter confusion. "I'm a vampire…but I…" She scowled.
"Prove it!" She firmly interrupted, surprising him. "Now" He was shocked at her, he had no idea how…strong she was.
He sighed before showing his fangs, instead of the negative response he was expecting he got the complete opposite. She lightly touched the black veins underneath his blue eyes and smiled. Her then fingers went down to his mouth and touched his fangs, he was confused.
"I still love you my Niklaus…" His undead heart panged as she called him 'hers', he was pleasantly surprised.
"Aren't you scared at all?" He asked with a furrowed brow but she just laughed sweetly.
"You told me that I shouldn't be afraid…So why should I? I trust you" She kissed his lips and then stood up. Holding her hand out, she waited until he took it. She led him onto the bed and sat down, pulling his body on top of hers.
"Are you sure?" He muttered in the pauses of their kisses, she smiled.
"As long as you do not bite me" She winked and pulled him back closer. His hands carefully ran up her thigh and behind her back, pulling her onto his lap. He tucked her hair away from her neck and lightly kissed it before smirking.
"As you wish my love" He moved away and returned to her awaiting lips. She was everything he wanted…he didn't even care she was human, because she was his, and no-one would ever take her away from him.
Her head drooped as she sat silently against an old tree. The minutes felt like hours but she still wasn't free. She used all her willpower not to grab some wood and stake herself, but she wanted Niklaus to have some guilt…he deserved it. Everything that he did to her without knowing, but he still acted as if he was the innocent one. If she could she would told her past self to run away! Go and marry Harvey…and then it all clicked.
Harvey Smithson was there, his eyes looking at her as he tortured her slowly in the cell. He did this to her, everything was fine until he came along. Why would he do this to her after all these years? Was he still bitter about when they were humans, she honestly hadn't a clue.
"You must be Evelyn" An unrecognisable woman's voice caught her attention; she looked up to see a young woman, no older than her teens. She smiled brightly and crouched down to her level. "I bet that hurts doesn't it?" She pointed to the spreading wound.
"Yes, but it's worth it" Evelyn spat back and closed her eyes, why was this taking so long?
"I've been bitten a few times…Last time I only just made it" The girl calmly stated and tucked her bright blonde hair behind her ears. "Luckily Klaus saved me, he likes putting me in danger"
Evelyn began to laugh and looked around her before leaning towards the girl. She knew what was going on; even in her state she wasn't stupid.
"Do you have any idea how much hell I have been through? Death will only be a gift to me…someone who loved me would know that" The girl looked visibly uncomfortable making her smirk "Caroline isn't it…" She nodded.
Before the she could react Evelyn had hold of the young vampire tightly in her arms, pulling her head to the side and she bit deeply into her neck, before snarling into her ear with blooded lips.
"You stay away from my Niklaus" Caroline whimpered as her grip on her scalp tightened "DO YOU HEAR ME?!" She weakly nodded before being thrown onto the floor.
"I see that the years with Marcel has made you lose your people skills" She breathed deeply before turning towards Niklaus who was slowly walking towards her. "But…I like how I'm still yours" He smirked.
Evelyn felt as if all of her hope vanished, what did she do to deserve this? As Caroline recovered she backed away into the tree.
"Your family name is doing well back in England; wouldn't it be a shame if I just…killed them all?" He tilted his head as she shook with fear. She held back her tears as he continued to torment her. "And all that bloodshed…down to you"
"What happened to you Niklaus? You used to have morals, kindness and chivalry…but your quest for power has turned you into a cold monster that cares for nothing but himself!" She snarled whilst gripping onto the bark behind her.
"YOU TURNED ME INTO THIS!" He yelled making Caroline vanish to a safe distance. "DON'T YOU REMEMBER? You left me! Leaving me to think you were dead…and all these years you've been hiding away with the life I gave you!" She laughed through her tears.
"It was always me who got hurt! Watching everyone I love die before me! Being tortured, being cursed! You've made my life a misery. And now you give me something I'm grateful for, and you're going to take it away from me! I HATE YOU!" Klaus was confused, what did she mean by cursed?
She suddenly grabbed the nearest branch and pulled it out in front of her. Just as the wood touched her chest she was lifted off her feet by Rebekah, she landed hard on her back making her winded. Evelyn tried to run but Elijah blocked her path, she looked at him in disbelief before running again. Kol lifted her up and held her tightly as she kicked and screamed, she tried everything but with all four Originals circling her she hadn't a chance.
"I'm sorry my love" Klaus stated before stroking her cheek, he looked into her eyes that were as innocent as the day he met her.
"Please don't…please" His vampire features appeared just as he bit into his wrist. "No! Please!"
She begged but he didn't listen. She took a final squirm but Kol's arms just held her tighter. He shoved his wrist onto her quivering lips. A tear fell from her eye as she stared into his eyes, the blood running down her throat taking the pain away immediately. She scrunched her eyelids closed as she wept onto his wrist, the only thought in her mind.
Why me?
A/N~ So she's cured but against her will! I also thought bringing Caroline into the story to help Klaus, making Evelyn jealous. Also I decided that Kol wouldn't be dead in this story. Let me know what you think of this update and please check out my new story Fractured Moonlight :) x
