Chapter 37

I couldn't believe it, my birth mother was still alive and I have met her. I never thought I'd say them words, up until about 10 months ago I didn't even know I was adopted and now I have met my other mother. My head was spinning, I had spent pretty much all day with my birth mother and her coven but now I was headed to work and all I could think about was I really didn't want to go in. I didn't want to leave the witches. I ended up being late to work and Klaus made sure to let me know that he knew.

"You know when I tell you to be here at a specific time, I expect you to be here at that time, not a minute later." He had an attitude.

"You know what Klaus, bite me." I said with a smile and walked away from him.

I was in too good of a mood to let him get me down. As the customers started coming in I put all my attention into them not paying attention to anything else. As the night grew later the customers grew drunker, which was a regular occurrence. Thankfully the night went off without a hitch, we didn't have anyone get to out of control, and we didn't have to kick anyone out so it was a pretty good night.

Klaus went to the office to start on the paperwork and I went to lock up. When I reached the door I realized there was a young man standing there.

"I'm sorry but were closed." I told him nicely.

He gave me a wicked smile, "Oh I know you are."

He shoved me back into the bar then shut the door behind him. He walked closer to me which in turn made me walk further back into the bar.

"So you're the new witch in town huh?" He said like he knew me.

I didn't answer him.

"Why don't you run back in there and tell Klaus that there's someone here to see him." He ordered.

"What, you don't say please" I don't know what tempted me to be a smartass but he didn't like it much.

"Now witch" He was furious now.

I don't know what I was thinking but I didn't move, "Now that wasn't very nice, I was just asking you to be polite, no need to be such an ass."

"No wonder he keeps you around here, you sure are something else." He had me up against the wall in a flash, he had his hand around my throat.

I wasn't scared and that confused me. "I suggest you remove your hand, I won't ask you a second time."

He just laughed. "Was that supposed to be a threat?"

I felt the power swirling inside of me, I chanted "Lec tare sel viper"

He went flying through the air and landed on one of the tables crashing through it. I ran over to him as quickly as I could, grabbed a piece of the wooden table that he broke when he crashed into it. I had the makeshift stake held above his body about to shove it through his heart until I felt a hand on mine and slowly take the piece of wood from my hand.

I turned around to see Klaus standing behind me. "What are you doing?"

Klaus let out a light laugh, "As fun as that was to watch I can't let you stake my little brother."

I looked at him confused then looked back at the vampire laying on the ground, "Really another Mikaelson?"

Klaus nodded.

"What an ass, what is wrong with your family?" I asked him, not expecting an answer.

The vampire starting coughing then finally started moving, once he was back to his feet he smiled at me, "Not bad for a newbie."

"So what, do you just randomly go around pissing off witches?" I asked him.

He chuckled "No I've heard a lot about you, so I wanted to see for myself what you were all about."

I wasn't really sure what to think about him knowing about me, since he was a Mikaelson I could only imagine his siblings were the ones doing the talking but why. I didn't know if I should feel threatened at this point, the only thing going through my mind right then was Klaus put him up to this. For some reason he was testing me, trying to see how much power I actually had.

"Anyway I'm Kol and if anyone asks this went a completely different way, I didn't just get my ass handed to me by a girl." Kol said with a smile.

I noticed Klaus hadn't said anything since he stopped me from staking his brother so I turned to him and said "You getting scared?"

He raised his eyebrows, "of what, you?"

I snorted "you don't have to be afraid to admit it, I won't feel any less about you."

Kol laughed which pissed Klaus off. "At least she didn't take me down."

"Calm down, I was just kidding." I patted him on the back "Now if you don't need me anymore I'm gonna go, you boys can clean that mess up."

I walked back into the office and grabbed my stuff, when I walked out I walked right into Klaus.

"Who do you think you are, telling me what you're doing?" He was enraged.

I just stared at him not wanting to give him satisfaction of an answer I stepped beside him and continued to walk. He grabbed ahold of me and pulled me back to him, not being gentle at all.

"Let go of me Klaus, I'm sorry if I bruised your ego but you don't put your hands on me." I knew I lived in Mikaelson territory but they don't own me and Klaus can't go around doing whatever he wanted to.

He didn't take his eyes off me but he did release me. As soon as his hand was off my arm I took off without looking back. I heard Kol say something as I walked out but I couldn't tell exactly what it was.

I knew I'd probably regret the way I acted toward Klaus later but right now I felt great. Klaus and I had been on pretty good terms since I'd been there but I wasn't going to have him treat me different just because his brother was there.
