"Lucy…Lucy!" Alaric clicked his fingers in front of Lucy's face finally bringing her back into the room "Sorry?" Lucy said dazed "You've been miles away for weeks now Lucy, what's going on?" Alaric furrowed his eyebrows pushing Lucy's chin up examining her face "I haven't? I'm fine Alaric" Lucy sighed "Look after her" Alaric smirked at the Salvatore brothers who leaned side by side against the kitchen counter "We will." Damon nodded "can you stop? I'm fine." Lucy snapped hardening her eyes "Sorry for caring" Alaric shrugged his shoulders before turning and walking towards the door of the boarding house. "Alaric wait" Lucy said taking off towards the door.
Lucy caught the door before it slammed pulling it open "Alaric…I'm sorry" She said grabbing his hand "Lucy I don't know what is going on with you." Alaric sighed "My mind just wandered." Lucy said "Wandered for weeks?...you know, if this is over for you then you need to tell me." Alaric said hurt flashing across his face "What? No Alaric. That's the last thing I want. I'm sorry okay? I really am sorry" Lucy said quietly squeezing his hand. Alaric looked at Lucy closely "I love you?" He said softly "I love you so much." She whispered pulling him into a passionate kiss "I'll see you later" Alaric smiled before pecking her cheek.
Lucy sighed as she returned to the kitchen of the boarding house to be met by her brother's eyes "Stop." She sighed "Stop what?" Stefan asked "Stop looking at me." She sighed leaning against the counter looking at them "This is eating you alive" Damon said stepping closer to her. "You need to get away from Klaus" Stefan said quietly "And what's the alternative? Have him paint the town in Alaric's blood?! No. I love him far too much for that" Lucy snapped her brothers silent for a minute "I can't imagine what Ireland was like if this is you two now." Damon shrugged "Don't. You have no idea. Ireland was nothing like this. He was nothing like this, he was different. Caring…why am I defending him" Lucy hit her palm on the counter in frustration "Lucy…" Damon said calmly. "No I have to go. I have to figure out this map." Lucy said turning her back on her brothers and walking towards the door.
Klaus sat in the same place where he sat for weeks, at the head of his dining room table watching Lucy intensely as she scribbled away translating the maps. "Lucetta" Klaus broke the silence "I hope you do realise I appreciate what you're doing to help me" He said looking at her "Please don't make it sound like I had a choice" Lucy narrowed her eyes at him "Of course you did" he smirked mischievously "Klaus." Lucy said sternly before continuing to write "I've banished Kol from being in the same room as you." Klaus laughed "Okay seriously, talk again and I'm done." Lucy snapped.
Lucy bowed her head and continued to write out the anger. Silence fell over the mansion until the front door slammed loudly making Lucy jump. Lucy continued to write assuming it was a Mikalson sibling. "Wow." A voice came from the dining room doorway.
"Alaric" Lucy gasped jumping away from the table "I really hoped he was lying…" Alaric said, the betrayal was clear on his face. "Who?" Lucy furrowed his eyebrows "I had a visit from Kol at the school…He said you were working with Klaus. I told him it was ridiculous but he told me to come here and see it for myself. He wasn't even lying" Alaric's voice got lower as he spoke "Typical Kol" Klaus said walking around the table "Why don't you just shut up" Alaric shouted making Klaus laugh "Please, I can explain" Lucy said reaching for his hand which he snatched back "Don't touch me. I feel disgusted to even look at you right now" Alaric spat "Don't talk to her like that mate." Klaus said defensively "I said shut up!" Alaric shouted pulling a wolves bane gun and firing at Klaus, hitting him a number of times as Klaus gripped onto the table for support "Alaric" Lucy gasped stepping towards him "Don't defend him." Alaric gritted through his teeth as he grabbed Lucy's arm stopping her walking to Klaus.
"I'm not defending him but you need to let me explain." Lucy pleaded. Alaric gently pushed her back to face him "Well…" he uttered "He needs help translating some stupid maps, He threatened you all Alaric. He said he would kill you all, I couldn't let that happen." Lucy explained sadly "And you expect me to believe that?!" Alaric scoffed "What…" Lucy said confused "Oh please. Klaus comes back to Mystic Falls then you turn up & suddenly he just needs your help…Innocently." Alaric spat "It's not like that" Lucy snapped "you loved him Lucy! I know that those feelings linger no matter what. Maybe these 'maps' were just a stupid decoy" Alaric ranted "No…no you need to listen to me!" Lucy raised her voice completely at a loss for words "well it is hard to let go of someone you almost married" Kol said sauntering into the room grinning. Lucy felt her blood run cold as she froze on the spot "Kol" Klaus gritted stepping forward. "What?" Alaric spat turning his head towards Lucy "You…Klaus…you two were married?" Alaric said in disbelief.
"No!" Lucy shouted "Almost" Kol grinned; Klaus bowed his head as a chuckle escaped his lips. The only response Alaric returned was a frustrated growl. In the blink of an eye he thrust his arm forward releasing a stake with some sort of Celtic design. The stake landed in Klaus' chest as he released a growl of pain stumbling back. Kol grabbed Alaric by the throat holding him against the wall as he struggled for air "Kol stop…Kol" Lucy demanded as she grabbed Kol's arm "Look at this Lucy…poor chap can't even defend himself" Kol smirked "Kol, I will snap your arm." Lucy gritted through her teeth tightening her grip on Kol's arm. Kol continued to glare at Alaric as his breath continued to catch. Lucy twisted her wrist and a loud snap filled the air. Kol immediately dropped Alaric to hold his arm as it healed. He glared at Lucy before storming out of the room.
"Alaric, are you alright?" Lucy breathed helping Alaric off the floor. Alaric got to his feet before pushing Lucy's hands away "Don't touch me." He snapped "Alaric, please…understand" Lucy pleaded "I'm not going to compete with some 2,000 year old hybrid douche." Alaric said solemnly "Alaric there is no competing, it's you" Lucy said stepping forward "No, we're done, all this. Me and you, it's finished." Alaric shouted before storming out of the room "No…Alaric." Lucy called with shaky breathing. Lucy walked forward to follow him before a hand wrapped around her wrist.
"Lucetta…let him go" Klaus whispered "I can't." Lucy whispered back as tears began to spill "You have to" He said stroking his thumb along her wrist "No, no. I love him" Lucy said snatching her wrist away from his grip as her head began to spin "He's human Lucy…Nothing could of come from it." Klaus hissed frustrated "Don't you dare. I would do anything to be with him, I wouldn't care how much I had to sacrifice." Lucy said softly as more tears spilled. Klaus reached up pushing her hair behind her ear and wiping some stray tears from her soft cheeks. He stared into her eyes as his hand stayed softly placed on her cheek. Lucy reached up and slipped her hand over his "I loved you Klaus. So much…but I moved on. I think it's time you do the same…You have to let me go." Lucy whispered squeezing his hand.
Klaus let his hand drop from Lucy's face. She looked at him a final time before turning and walking towards the door. Lucy stopped just at the dining room doorway "To find your warlock, the best bet is to find a common ground with his daughter Zaria. But if that fails he stays hidden in the East Mountains of Russia." Lucy said still facing away from him "Thank you." Klaus said softly "It goes without saying, I'm done now. I have helped you and now I have to try repairing the damage because of that. You may rage a war against the people I love if you want as long as you know I'll fight you to the death for them." Lucy said sternly before exiting the house quickly.
Klaus sighed leaning back against the table "I hope you'll listen to Lucettas words and leave them be." Elijah said leaning against the doorway facing his brother "Elijah please…the history teacher is the easiest target of all." Klaus shook his head "Yes but Lucy will never forgive you if harm came to him at your hands." Elijah shrugged "Please brother…don't mistake the fact that I allowed Lucetta to walk out of here as a sign of weakness…I care about her and of course I want her to be happy. But Lucy will be mine again…there is no two ways about it." Klaus smirked at his brother to which Elijah shook his head leaving the doorway empty.
