Chapter 12
Klaus wasn't happy at all. Patience had never been one of his virtues. Too much time had been wasted. He still didn't know where Starlit was. That was driving him crazy. If something had happened to her… But still Klaus couldn't understand what Elijah's end game was. Just messing with him? Annoy him? Klaus couldn't believe Elijah would be so stupid. There must be something else. Some reason he hadn't figured out yet.
"Hurry up now, we have to clean up this mess!" Caleb said.
He seemed nervous.
"What do you mean we?" Liam replied. "It's your mess so you clean it up."
"Come on man! Aunt Morgan's gonna be here any minute! She's going to kill me if this place looks like this!"
"Is someone a little afraid of his aunt?" Liam asked mockingly.
"You haven't met her man!" Caleb replied.
Klaus rolled his eyes. This was just like dealing with children. But Caleb's apartment was dirty. Klaus didn't want to be here himself.
"Just help him will you", he said to Liam negligently.
"Yes sir", Liam replied.
Klaus moved slowly next to window and looked outside. He was very annoyed. For Caleb's sake his aunt better be as powerful as he claimed. Klaus certainly wasn't in forgiving mood. Then he heard a knock from the door. Caleb froze.
"She's here", he murmured. "Oh no, she's here!"
Caleb almost tripped when he ran to the door. When he opened the door Klaus saw a tall woman who was maybe in her late thirties. There were some red stripes on her short black hair. Her eyes were as dark as Caleb's. She was quite attractive although there was a long scar on her face. Like some kind of warrior woman. She was wearing jeans, top and sweatshirt.
"Auntie Morgan!" Caleb said cheerfully.
Woman didn't seem pleased to see him.
"Do not auntie Morgan me boy!" she said and walked right past Caleb.
"Ok", Caleb said and closed the door.
"And let's make one thing clear right away, I'm not here for you or your blood sucking friends. I'm only here to help that girl. Hurting a luxia is despicable thing to do."
"I totally agree! Oh, auntie Morgan, here are Klaus and Liam…"
"I don't care", woman interrupted him. "What kind of dump are you living in? You should be ashamed."
"Yes auntie Morgan", Caleb replied quietly.
"Where's the kitchen?" she asked.
"It's right there."
Woman marched straight to the kitchen and started to open drawers.
"I think I'm in love", Liam said.
Caleb scowled him.
"Not cool, man."
"No, no, I'm serious."
Klaus rolled his eyes. Just like being in kindergarten or something.
"Have you heard from your mother?" Morgan asked while taking some things out from the drawers.
"Thankfully no. She's probably off somewhere ruining some poor rich bastard's life", Caleb replied.
Morgan looked at him angrily.
"Watch your tongue boy. Ruby might be a bitch but she's still my sister."
"Yes, of course. I'm sorry."
"Now, I assume you have something of hers?"
"A what now?" Caleb asked.
Morgan looked annoyed.
"Do you dillholes have something what belongs to the girl you want to find?"
"Oh, right! We have her cat."
"That will do. Bring him here."
"Well actually the cat's not here right now…"
Morgan rolled her eyes.
"For heavens sake, go and get him then! I haven't got the whole day!"
"Right, right. I just go and get him from Mrs. Braddock's house", Caleb said and looked at Klaus.
"Go!" Klaus snapped.
Caleb left quickly.
"Can you find her?" Klaus asked calmly.
"Yes", Morgan replied without looking at him. "But if I see that you are planning to hurt her…"
"No, I'm not. I would never do that."
Now Morgan looked at him.
"For some reason I actually believe you hybrid."
"You know what I am?" Klaus asked curiously.
"Yes and I know enough about you for never agreeing to help you in any other situation."
Klaus smiled.
"Fair enough. But I do appreciate your help now."
"Sure you do. Just don't make me regret it."
