A/N: I'm sorry I haven't updated this fic in such a long time. Honestly, i've kind of fallen out of love with TVD. I think Elena hoping between Salvatore's is ruining a perfectly good show. (yes, i know. probably an unpopular opinion.) I'm hoping re-watching seasons 1 and 2 will give me more inspiration to write because honestly writing this chapter was hard. If you have any ideas or thoughts on where you want this chapter to go please review! Lots of love!

Chapter 21

Klaus sighs heavily, his eyes trying to capture mine. He summons over the girl who was standing on the table, he looks into her eyes. "Leave, now. Forget everything that happened today." The girl obeys his orders with a blank look on her face that brings back memories of an old conversation with Klaus.
"Did you just control her mind?" Klaus nodded, oblivious to the disgusted tone in my voice.
"Compelled, I compelled her."
"How kind of you, you used her as a toy but it's okay because you made her forget everything." I roll my eyes, which made Klaus look at me sternly. Not so long ago, that look would have scared me. But too much has changed now. We're no longer just a vampire versus a human, we're boyfriend versus girlfriend. The irony of the whole situation made me burst into a fit of uncontrollable giggles. Klaus raises his eyebrow. "Have I missed something?"
"Do you realise how crazy this is? A few weeks ago, none of this madness existed. There were no vampires, or werewolves or whatever the hell you are." A smirk starts to form on Klaus's lips, making a scowl form on mine.
"Don't laugh at me, I'm mad at you!" Klaus brings his hand up to my forehead and gently brushes my hair behind my ear. "Good" He whispers. As I go to speak, he places his thumb on my bottom lip. "I'm taking you home. No arguments." Klaus picked up his leather jacket and slides it onto his lean body. Mentally, I argue with myself, if I refuse to get into his car would that make me childish? Yes, but do I really care? No. Turning to face the door, I know I won't make it out without being stopped by Klaus. I could tell that he was watching me, waiting for my next move. Testing him, I slowly lift my right foot and take one step forward. As I expected, Klaus was standing in front of me within an instant.
"Exactly what do you think you're doing?"
"I'm going home. Alone." Klaus raised an eyebrow, he seemed amused. "Do you even know where we are?"
"I'm sure I'll figure it out" We stand opposite each other, glaring into each other's eyes stubbornly. Time passes by as we wait for one of us to surrender. Surprisingly he moves to the side slightly to let me pass. Taking my opportunity, I dart out of the door and speeds down the stairs. The streets were darker than I remembered the lack of street lights and new knowledge of possible dangers caused me to shiver. There were two options; I could go back to the apartment and give into Klaus or I could make my way home. No way in hell my subconscious screamed at me. My stubbornness forces my body to walk faster than usual. The dark streets make it impossible to discover where I am. A quite mumble of voices grab my attention, I turn my head to the right to discover a small group coming towards me. At first, I plan on asking them for directions but the closer they get the more visible they become. The four men walking towards me were all tall, muscular men in hoodies. Even though they probably weren't supernatural, they could still be dangerous. I pick up my pace however they seem to be faster. I could feel them following me before they started calling crude things at me. My legs began to shake at the thought of what they might do if they catch up with me. Giving in, I mumbled "Klaus?" and prayed he had followed me.
"Yes?" His sudden appearance at first made me jump until a wave of calm swept over me. I'm safe. The group had silenced which made me chuckle quietly.
"I think you scared them." I whispered. Klaus turned to look directly at me. "If they would have touched you, I would have killed them." His face showed no sign of humour.
"I know." A black car pulled up beside us and Tyler hopped out.
"Do you still want me to drive her home?" Tyler looked straight past me, as if I didn't exist. He must be mad at me.
"No. I'll do it." Klaus shot Tyler a deadly look that shot a shiver down my spine. I grabbed onto his arm. "Don't be mad at him, me coming here was my fault." Klaus sighed in exasperation. "I expect him to do what I ask of him, Megan."
"And now I'm asking you to do something. Please, don't punish him for something that I did." Klaus narrowed his eyebrows at my request.
"Come on, love. Let's not have a domestic in front of the help." Out of the corner of my eye I saw Tyler rolling his.

"Fine, will you take me home?" Klaus smiled smugly as he nodded. I hated that look that meant he knew he had won.
Klaus took the car from Tyler. The car ride was so silent you could your own heartbeat. Even if you weren't a vampire.
When we pulled up in front of the cottage, Klaus looked at me with those same gloating eyes and asked, "Are you going to invite me in?"
I raised a brow, "I thought you were staying away from me."
He sighed, exasperated, "I've tried doing it that way, it practically killed me. I've never has a weakness, Megan, but now I do. It's you."
