Dont own anything you recognise.
Oh well, oh well. Guess I'll see you in hell.
There's a pretty little picture that's in my head.
And I'm starting to dream, changing colours while I sleep.
Maybe I'm just wasting time.
~Oh Well Oh Well, Mayday Parade.
"Walking in a winter wonderland" I sung to myself skipping along and twirling around. The dress I had worn was icy blue colour that fanned out at the bottom so I was spinning around and possibly flashing the entire street. The only downside was that I was bloody freezing.
Beside me Caroline groaned "When are you going to give that song a rest, you sung it the entire way here" she moaned looking around the square with slight pride. I stopped and admired the town square, it was well and truly a winter wonderland, fake snow fell around me and candy canes were being passed out in large quantities.
I shrugged "When the day finishes."
"I've got to talk to Tyler" she said abruptly starting to walk off, she turned back with a look my babysitters used to give me as a kid "Try not to get arrested or something"
I put a hand on my heart indignantly "How rude" I called as she turned away with an eye roll. I made a face and started walking into the grill, the snow may be fake but I was freezing my butt off in this dress.
I couldn't quite seem to get my odd dream out of my head for reasons beyond me, and so the only reason I'd actually showed up to the festival was to distract myself, of course at the time I'd forgotten I was running the risk of bumping into Klaus. Not literally running obviously because that was physical exercise.
Once I had warmed up slightly, I took my bowl of French fries and wondered over to some paintings munching away happily. I stood in front of one that I would probably name the sad snowflake, I tilted my head slightly and tried to understand what was happening in the painting, unaware of the person behind me.
After a few moments I felt a presence behind me, thinking it was just Matt with my ketchup I turned around saying "Oh thank god it's just not the same without-"I broke off as I saw who was standing in front of me "Oh you're not Matt" I said awkwardly.
Klaus didn't say anything to that only smiling at me in a way that sent butterfly's straight to my stomach and of course he looked handsome as always in a suit. It occurred to me, this was the first time I'd seen him since the night we kissed and I had no idea what to say to him "Nice snowflake" I blurted out.
"Is my work really that literal?" He seemed to say it more to himself than me, I looked over my shoulder at it "It's a little sad but still" I turned back to see that he'd closed the gap between us. I gulped slightly as he began to speak "You've been avoiding me love" It wasn't an accusation nor was it a question it was a statement, a true one at that.
"Well" I raked my brain for an excuse "I had a cold"
I had a cold? Good one Olivia.
"It was gross" I continued putting my fries down and waving my hands around for empathises "but I'm all good now"
Klaus just nodded with a little smirk that screamed he didn't believe me, I mean who the hell would.
"Can I offer you some champagne?" He asked gesturing over to where the bottles were kept. I couldn't help but smile coyly "Do you even have to ask?"
Klaus smiled again "Is that our thing?"
I scoffed slightly picking up a fry and biting into it "No our thing consists of me saying or doing something stupid and you finding it amusing." Or you kissing me when you shouldn't have.
Obviously I didn't say that one.
He let out a chuckle but went off to find some champagne, I looked around the room and saw my fellow blonde looking right at me, feeling creeped out I sent her a little wave. Caroline didn't even seem to notice my wave since she had looked down at her phone and began typing furiously.
Um okay.
Across the room Caroline Forbes typed: He's here, Liv's with him, hurry, and quickly sent it to Stefan Salvatore, she looked back up in search of her bright eyed friend only to find her gone.
"Why are we outside?" I whined, trying to catch flakes of the fake snow in the palm of my right hand, in my left was a glass of pink champagne, which had excited me and Klaus had admitted he had to compel for it.
Klaus barely looked at me as he answered "It was crowed inside" he replied vaguely.
I took a sip of my champagne "It snowed for real once" I recalled with a slight smile "and I went to build a snowman and ended up breaking my arm"
He looked at me incredulously "How did you manage that?" he let out a laugh "then again I'm not sure I want to know"
I grinned and turned to face him "Well when I was ten I thought snow was like a pillow of softness" I explained "So I jumped off my roof thinking I would be okay" I stopped grinning for dramatic effect "I wasn't"
He burst out laughing throwing me a dimpled grin, his laugh was so prominent I couldn't help but join in "You're so-"he began.
"Idiotic" I finished laughing into my glass. Klaus grinned again "Pretty much love."
The joking atmosphere seemed to just die all of a sudden as Klaus stared down at me with a certain look in his eyes, one I couldn't quite pinpoint. I felt something fall on my cheek but before I could do anything about it, he reached out a brushed away what I guess was a piece of fake snow with his thumb.
In that moment I seemed to have stopped breathing and my heart quickened in my chest, he leaned down to accommodate for our dramatic height differences only stopping when his face was close to mine.
He grabbed my cheeks and everything came to a halt "Olivia Morrison you are crazy" he murmured his lips inches away from mine.
I gulped completely speechless; we were in public, what if someone saw us? What if one of my friends saw us? What if-
Suddenly his lips were pressed against mine and all rational thought melted away. I knew what I was doing was risky but as soon as his lips were on mine everything I did was out of my control. My arms, completely betraying me, moved away from my side and wrapped themselves around his neck though I did bear in mind that I was holding a glass of champagne and somehow managed to keep it upright.
I was about to pull away as some panicked thoughts hit me like a punch in the head when his hands now away from my face, wrapped around my waist and pulled my smaller body into his. His mouth tasted a weird mix of spearmint and champagne that I somehow found endearing as my mouth moved in sync with his, that was until a voice broke through our haze.
"Mommy what are those two doing?"
I pulled away from Klaus, my arms now gripping his shoulders. My breathing was quick as I looked to the side to find the location of the voice. A little girl around the age of six with red pigtails, was standing a few feet away staring at us with wide eyes, her mother sending us a glare grabbed her child and proceeded to drag her away making up some child-appropriate-explanation to what we were in fact doing.
"Oops" I muttered with a slight grin and turned back to face Klaus, whom I noticed as I did, hadn't looked away from me. I blushed and looked down like the idiot I am and stepped back slightly out of his arms, when I looked back up he had opened his mouth to say something. But as usual I blurted something stupid "I need to pee." I said quickly.
Klaus quirked an eyebrow but I hastily added "Like right now" and as quick as I could bolted towards the back of the grill.
When out of his eyesight and after dropping of my glass, I leaned against a wall near the back entrance of the grill panting slightly; Matt wouldn't care if I used the back entrance but just as I was about to I heard a familiar voice snap "I don't owe you anything."
Was that Tyler?
I pushed myself of the wall and slowly rounded the corner as he spoke again "I'm taking him out."
Taking who out?
"I'm sorry" I walked a little faster towards the voices as Stefan's joined in "but I can't let you do that."
"Stefan" Caroline put in as I grew closer and closer to them. "I'm sorry but I can't" He said looking over at her.
"Stefan" she said again in a harsher voice.
I jumped suddenly as someone grabbed my arm dragging me towards the scene, I looked up at who had a grip on my arm and saw a man who looked vaguely familiar, even so, and I struggled with everything I had.
"I'm sorry man" Tyler said not sounding sorry at all "but you don't have a choice."
A girl on the stairs with tanned skin curled up her lip at the sight of me "Not you again" she growled out. I frowned in confusion trying to pinpoint where I knew her voice and her face from but I was coming up blank.
This drew attention to me and Caroline and Stefan finally noticed me as the man let go of my arm, they glanced at each other with expression of horror and I wondered, what the fuck was going on?
I had learned the people and the person who had grabbed me, were Klaus's hybrids, what I couldn't understand was why they escorted, well forced Stefan, Caroline and I into the Lockwood cellars Tyler and I had played in as children, I didn't know why since they were creepy as fuck.
I had asked what was going on many many times but it seemed every time I opened my mouth everyone went deaf, all I got were sympathetic looks from Stefan and Caroline that made me worry even more.
Tyler dumped some chains on the floor of the cave making me flinch, Caroline reached for my hand, I guess to comfort me but I quickly pulled my hand out of her reach to confused to notice her hurt filled look.
"Tyler!" She snapped focusing her attention on him. Tyler acted as if he hadn't heard her "Keep them down here until we're ready to bring Klaus in." I stood upright at the mention of the hybrid I kind had the hots for; He dropped the chains in front of the hybrid who had somehow known me earlier "Use these if you have to but not on Olivia"
"Tyler" I said trying to remain calm, he ignored me and Stefan took a shot at it "Come on, Tyler, this is bigger than you. It's about more than revenge for us"
Revenge? On Klaus?
Clearly I was out of the loop. This is bad, very bad.
"I know what it's about for you, Stefan." Tyler retorted stepping closer to Stefan in that male 'fight me' kind of way "It's about the cure. You know what happens to a hybrid when he's cured of being a vampire? We go back to being werewolves; turning on every full moon. We could give a rat's ass about the cure."
Was it possible a girls head could explode from confusion? Because it felt like mine was about to.
Tyler walked past Stefan towards where Caroline and I stood "Tyler, come on." She begged.
He looked her right in the eye "I needed you on my side, Care. That's all I wanted." He insisted.
"What the fuck is going on!" I exploded suddenly, Tyler and Caroline glanced my way "I am sorry Liv, I wanted to keep you out of this" was I got before Tyler and a few others disappeared leaving me with more questions than before.
"Ugh, this is ridiculous. We are not hostages!" Caroline exclaimed pacing the cellar. Everyone had seemed to have forgotten about me standing in the corner with my arms wrapped around myself millions of questions running through my mind, I thought it was cold in the town square, it was freezing in here.
"Sure you are, sweetie." A hybrid I swear I knew but couldn't remember where from, replied in a condescending manner, her eyes darted over to me. Caroline super-speeded over to her staring her down.
What was Tyler doing with Klaus? Why did some hybrids look familiar? Why was I even here?
"We don't need the sword" Stefan said breaking me from my thoughts and ending a phone call I didn't even know he had made.
This sent a whole heap of new questions through my brain. Great.
It was official: I had the worse friends ever.
After getting me into this mess, Stefan and Caroline had left me, alone in a creepy fucking freezing cellar to try and fix the mess Tyler had gotten himself into. Granted they had promised to come back for me after it was all over, then again I still didn't know what it was.
They hadn't left without threatening the hybrids, which didn't make me feel any better since the girl who had recognised me earlier kept staring at me "How do you know me?" I blurted out against my better judgement the girl tilted her head in what seemed like half confusion and half amusement "It's just" I continued losing some confidence "You said not you again, which is generally the response of someone who's met me before" I babbled slightly.
The women rolled her eyes "I kidnapped you, held you hostage, fed from you blah blah" she announced bluntly walking over to me.
My eyes widened "No you didn't" I denied in panic "Pretty sure I would remember that."
She smirked "Compulsions a wonderful thing."
My mind involuntarily put two and two tighter "No" I breathed out in protest "they wouldn't." She shrugged "Believe what you want blondie."
I barely heard her, Tyler couldn't of, and he wouldn't of, would he?
The hybrid stiffened suddenly sensing something I couldn't "Stay here" she growled, before disappearing.
Like that was happening.
As soon as she was gone I ran for it, sprinting out of the caves and into the night. The cold air hit me but I ignored it running through the woods faster than I ever had, my breath coming out in short pants and the condensation making my breath visible. My feet ached and my lungs felt like they were going to explode, I really needed to get in shape, but the adrenaline kept me going somehow using a rough map from my memory to find the way back to Mystic Falls.
I finally stopped running when lights signifying I was near the town square blinded me, holy shit I had ran from the middle of the woods to the town square that was my fitness for the month.
I put my hands on my knees and panted heavily, millions of questions and ideas running through my head, Should I call someone? Do I find Klaus or Tyler or Stefan or Caroline? But then again there was the possibility that they had compelled me, what was I supposed to do?
But I was tired, the kind of tried that felt in your bones, the kind that continuously washed over you until you finally let yourself sleep and even then, that sometimes wouldn't help.
I knew my car was parked in the grill parking lot and made a split second decision to go to it and go home, it's not like my problems wouldn't be there in the morning. Wrapping my arms around myself I began walking through the deserted town square.
Or what I thought was deserted.
Squinting over at the fountain I realised with a horrible shock that a person was draped face down into it. Without thinking about it I rushed over feeling sick.
"No no no" I whimpered to myself feeling a wave of sadness wash over me as I recognised the person laying in the fountain, dead. I clamped a hand to my mouth and backed away from Carol Lockwood's body, right into something behind me.
I spun around quickly and recognised the person before me "Klaus" I began urgently but stopped when I took him in. He had blood staining his clothes and his face, and a certain animalistic hunger I hadn't seen in him before.
"What did you do?" I whispered as I pieced it together, when he didn't respond looking over my shoulder I raised my voice "WHAT DID YOU DO?" I shouted at him, yelling at someone for the first time in a long time.
Klaus looked at me finally "Where is Tyler Lockwood?" he spoke in a flat voice his eyes boring into mine.
"I don't know" I spat at him only feeling rage.
This seemed to spark some sort of his own rage as his eyes suddenly blazed and he leaned dangerously close to me "Did you know?" he asked in a low and threating voice "Did you know of your friends plan to rid the world of me?"
I backed up "You really think that I knew" I scoffed coldly and strange sound coming from me "well you clearly don't know me at all!"
Klaus narrowed his blazing eyes looking nothing like the man I had kissed earlier, this one was brutish and terrifying, this man was a monster.
In a blink of an eye he was gone and whatever I had been holding onto seemed to disappear and I crumpled to the ground, tears burning in my eyes for the women who had been like a second mother of sorts to me.
When did things get so screwed up?
OH MY FEELS.
Hope you guys enjoyed it! Please review!
Until next time lovelys
