Damon's P.O.V.
Shit, this son of bitch just had to show up. He couldn't give us one night of peace before completely turning our lives into hell, could he?
"What? Did my presence really make you all that speechless?" Klaus asks. Cocky bastard. Jeremy just rolls his eyes, Matt scoffs, and Stefan just sits there with a stony glare. Its not that he left us speechless. It more like we have nothing to say to that prick. Klaus is almost better than me at being the bad guy. Ok, he is better than me. Only because he'll do anything to get what he wants and I'll do almost anything to get what I want.
"You know, its very impolite to stare," Klaus says, walking up closer towards us.
"Since when are manners a big deal to you? Cause if they are obviously you have a twisted sense of manners," I tell him, looking him straight in the eye.
"My manners are twisted? What about yours, Damon?" He asks in a calm voice with a teasing look in his eyes.
"My manners almost nonexistent but I'm not the one going on about manners, now am I?" I fire back at him. Jeremy and Matt just watch as I dare to argue with an original vampire. Stefan just continues to glare at Klaus.
"True. I did bring up the subject, but you see I was just trying to make polite conversation," Klaus says, appearing to be innocent of any wrongdoing.
"Let's just grab the girls and go," Jeremy says, wanting to be anywhere but here. I don't blame the kid for wanting to leave. Better safe than sorry for now since we don't have anything good enough to against Klaus.
"Don't worry about your girlfriends, they are very safe for now," Klaus says, sitting down in a chair nearby. He watches our every move and expression.
"What do you mean safe for now?" Matt asks, tensing slightly. Smart kid, don't show him a reaction. Well to much of a reaction anyway.
"My sister, Rebekah, is taking good care of them. That is none of them anger her, of course," Klaus says, leaning back in the chair. "You see, Rebekah was just itching to get out of the house and have a good time. How do you say, um, yes hit the town for awhile," Klaus continues on, acting as if we were all friends.
I just clench and unclench my fists. The longer we can keep him talking, hopefully the less angry his sister stays. He could give the word and then Bonnie and the other girls would be dead. If having one original alive is bad, having two is much worse. We already found that out with Elijah but he is unreachable for now. An original vampire sister though might be way worse than an original vampire brother.
"I didn't mind. I wanted to see how my favorite band of friends was doing anyway," Klaus continues on. Damn jerk just won't shut up. Talking to us all friendly like, what is his plan? This little game he insists on playing with us is reached its limit. Its time he started to lose instead of keeping up this little winning streak of his.
"So, how are you?" He asks, eyeing each of us.
"Fine," Stefan says, coldness plain in his voice. He doesn't even try to sound nice.
"Could be much better," Matt says, looking away. Jeremy just walks away, pretending to be interested in the pool game once more.
"And you, Damon? I hear you have a girlfriend," Klaus says, smirking so much I want to hit him so badly to wipe it off his face. "Now, it wouldn't be Elena, would it? I mean think how much that would hurt your brother if it was," Klaus mocks us, trying to get a reaction.
"Elena is alright, but I can do much better," I say, mocking his friendly tone. If Stefan gets pissed, that is his own problem. Who cares what this bastard thinks or what I have to say? Oh, that's right. Stefan does because Stefan cares about everything.
"Hmm, I could have sworn you and Elena were going to end up together. It just seemed … like something you do," Klaus says, boredom entering his tone. He watches Stefan twist and grins in pleasure. "Well, if it isn't the lovely Elena, who is it? That sweet little thing, Caroline?" Klaus asks, directing his gaze so he could watch Matt better. Matt just continues to look over the pool game with Jeremy. Not even bothering to give Klaus a reaction though I know it must be eating him up on the inside.
"You mean the vampire Barbie? No thank you. Tried it, had it, don't want it," I say, still mocking his tone and friendly smile. I can sense Matt's anger start to rise. Hmm, I must still be a sore subject for him and little Blondie.
"Well, then it must be that new girl you guys are with. Is it just me or does she remind you of Annabelle? You know pearl's daughter," Klaus just moves on. "I mean, come on. They look the same and are just so similar, I could almost swear that they are the same person. Of course that can't be because nice little Anna died at the hands of John Gilbert," he continues, making sure to remind Jeremy of how his little girlfriend had died. At the hands of his own uncle.
I knew Jeremy was ready to snap. His posture said it all. I'll beat him to it though.
"You're right. It is uncanny how much alike they are but no. Why would I ever get with a girl like that? You know me, I'm more of the one who is in control rather than being controlled by someone much older than me if that were to be the Anna you speak of," I tell Klaus, making sure to keep my cool for now. Before we leave though, I'm definitely going to snap. Just not enough to get myself killed.
"Then who else could it be? I mean it can't be the Bennett witch. A girl like Bonnie would never take a chance on someone like you. She is so much better than you and she knows it, so why would she ever like you. How could she? I mean she deserves so much better than the man that killed her grandmother, almost killed her, and has single handedly made her life much more like hell. I mean you aren't the only one who has made her life a living hell but you did help it along quite a bit, no?" Klaus says, rubbing everything I've done wrong in my face.
But that is the last straw. I can't take it any longer. I'm so fucking tired of his insults and his cunning way of making you lose the game. He can shove his little game up his ass for all I care. His game is just a hell of a way to torture us. He deserves to be killed a million times over.
I lunge at him and I swing to punch him. He easily deflects my hits. I keep trying to hit him and he just sits there, blocking me as if it took him no effort. Then he grabs my arm turns it behind my back and knees me in the stomach.
"I thought you had more patience than that, Damon. I guess no one should mess with your little witch then huh? Though running out of patience like this whenever she is mentioned won't help either," Klaus say, his accented voice echoing in my head. Man, I fucking hate that voice and that accent. Just how proper he talks, like he is better than you. Plus, it is so charming on the girls. Its annoying and tiring. Plus one hell of another trick to earn him extra points with all the girls in this town. The sheriff is a girl, the mayor is a girl, and probably many other important jobs in town are girls.
I cough, catching my breath again. I clench my jaw and stand up. If only he would disappear and leave us all alone. Mystic falls would go back to being a peaceful little town instead of vampire central.
"Would anyone else like to take a shot at me? I promise not to hurt you. Much anyways," Klaus says, smirking once again as he sits back down in his chair. "No? Good, now what do you say we try this whole bonding thing again?" Klaus says like he is offering us a good deal.
"There is no way in hell I'm going to do anything with you," I spit out at him.
"When hell freezes over," Jeremy responds.
"Fuck you, man," Matt says.
"I think we've had enough bonding to last an eternity, Klaus," Stefan says. Once again his nice proper way of showing manners again. Though at least I can hear the venom in his words instead of that usual Stefan politeness.
"Come on now, I'm not that bad. Am I?" Klaus asks, his smirk disappearing. Good, thank god that smirk is gone.
"What do you think?" I ask him, an edge to my tone.
"Hell yes you are," Jeremy says. Matt just rolls his eyes and Stefan gives him a look like you've got to be kidding me.
"And to think I was hoping to walk away with some new friendships tonight," Klaus says. All of us just breathe in and let it out angrily. I look at the pool game and resume the game. The others join in and Klaus watching us. His smirk now a frown since we took the attention away from him. Oh poor him, we're done listening to him talk.
He pulls out his phone and sends a text. To who, I don't know. Do I care? No, unless its his sister Rebekah. Do I want to know what it says? No, unless it has something to do with the girls. Will I try to find out anything about it? No, because that is just playing right into his trap. He wants us to do something. He wants us to react to him. He wants to anger us. I'm not giving him the upper hand tonight. I'm not just going to fold and let him have his way. He'll have to fight for it if he wants it that way.
Klaus gets a text back and as he reads it his smirk returns.
"Come now, why don't we take this little get together to my house? Rebekah says the girls have very nicely accepted the offer and are already there," Klaus says, emphasizing every single word.
"Like the girls would ever do that," I mutter.
"Why don't you look for them. I can assure you that they are indeed at my house with my sister," Klaus tells us. I glance to Stefan and we quickly run off. I check the bathroom and the bar. Stefan checks booths and tables. We run outside and check every possible place they could be and turn up with nothing. We run back to where we left Matt, Jeremy, and Klaus.
"You son of a bitch, you really did take the girls," I almost yell at him.
"I told you I wasn't lying to you. There is no reason for me to lie," Klaus says, tapping his fingers against the pool table. "So, you ready to go?" He asks, eyeing the door.
"As long as we get the girls back unharmed," Stefan says, trying to make a deal with Klaus. I know it will backfire in the end but we need to get the girls out of Klaus's way. I know all of us would pay any price to know they are safe and won't be harmed.
"Of course. They are guests in my house after all," Klaus says. Stefan nods, and motions for Klaus to lead the way. Jeremy, Matt, Stefan, and I fall behind him and follow to him to his house. Klaus is leaning on his car by the time we all park outside of his house which is much more like a mansion. A lot better than Stefan's and my boarding house.
"Now I know it isn't glorious or well that great. Rebekah and I will have a new one built after awhile. We are planning to move to mystic falls," Klaus says, leading us towards the doors. Matt just looks at the house wide eyed and Jeremy looks around like he is surveying the place. Probably looking for exits, hiding place, safe getaways, etc. Have to hand it to him, he can be pretty smart when he wants to be.
"I thought we were staying in a hotel," Stefan says, looking at the place like this is the first time he has ever saw it.
"Change of plans, Stefan, change of plans," Klaus explains, still smiling.
"Welcome home brother. I have shown our female guests to their rooms," A short blond girl says to Klaus. So this must be Rebekah.
"Hello Stefan. You must be Damon, Matt, and Jeremy," She says, pointing each of us out. She has done her homework I see because she knew who we all were.
"Yeah yeah, let's cut the small talk. Where are the girls," I say, rather impatiently.
"In their rooms. I'd like to play a game," Klaus says, smiling.
"They're done with your games, Klaus," Stefan says with a warning tone.
"They may think or believe they are done but they are not done until I say so," Klaus says, with a much edgier tone than Stefan could ever come up with.
"How long is this game?" I ask.
"As long as it shall take," Rebekah responds. God, she speaks with the same accent and properness as both her brothers do.
"And if we don't play this game?" Matt asks.
"I keep whichever girl you are playing for. She gets to sit here, live here, and do whatever I please for as long as she shall live. I assume you'll be playing for your girlfriends of course," Klaus responds.
"So if we wing we get the girls?" Jeremy asks.
"Correct," Rebekah says, yawing slightly as if she were bored.
"And what happens if we lose?" Jeremy asks another question.
"I keep the girl. And maybe if you have annoyed me enough, I'll kill you," Klaus says. "So, sounds like a deal?" Klaus asks, a devious look spreads across his face.
"There is absolutely no other way of getting the girls back?" Stefan asks, glancing around the place.
"Nope, none," Rebekah answers.
"Then let's play. How do you even play this game first?" I ask.
"Quite simple, really," Klaus says, smiling. His looks giving no clues on what is going to happen.
