Story Three of the A Rose by Another Name trilogy-
Broken Decembers
xXx
Damons arm tightened around my waist as we lay on the sofa under the deep black duvet he'd dragged from his bed to downstairs.
A week had passed now since the "return" as he was calling it.
I stared at the TV, watching the news for some sign of Klaus, or even Stefan. Maybe a town that had been descimated... but nothing had come up. Nothing at all.
I felt a hand creep down my back now, then I raised my own under the covers and slapped it, stopping him dead.
"Spoilsport." he said in my ear, making me chuckle. Damon pulled me closer to him and I scowled. "Jeez, you-"
"Handsome devil? I know it."
"Urgh, creepo more like."
I was prepared to bet that he was frowning, and I saw it myself as he climbed onto me, pinning me down.
"Calling me a freak are we?" he asked accusingly making me smirk. "Oh, you're much more than a freak. You're a creepy eyed weirdo."
Damon raised an eyebrow, then bent down and pressed his lips to my neck, teasing me as per usual. Now he started to kiss me, hands going to the botton of my vest.
"Can you like press pause for a moment?"
I jolted in suprise now, then looked up to see Elena watching from the doorway with a raised eyebrow.
"Five more minuets." Damon said, turning back to me, but I pushed him off onto the floor with a crash and sat up, nodding to Elena while Damon got up with a growl at me.
"Can I... talk to you alone?" she now asked me meanfully and I frowned. "Sure thing."
As we walked outside, me grabbing a coat and pulling it on, she turned to me and sighed.
"We have problems don't we?"
Now I raised an eyebrow once more, then realized. "Katherine." she smiled. "Hi. You survived?"
"So did you. Now why are you here?"
Katherine sighed and walked on, me following. "I heard news, on Klaus I mean."
That got my attention.
"He's back at the Savannah mansion for a few days."
I nodded slowly. "And why are you telling me this?"
Katherine groaned, rolling her eyes. "Because you know of a way to kill him. You know you have to do it. Kill him."
Now I didn't know what to say- sure, killing Klaus... I knew it had to happen, but...
That was going to be hard enough without all the memories getting in the way.
"I know..." I said quietly, then Katherine nodded and said. "I'm getting out of here. You need me desperately, you have my number."
"No, I'll Facebook you (!)"
She giggled, then hugged me for a moment and said quietly. "I'm glad you got with Damon. Any problems with him, chuck him and buy a new one."
"Thanks for the advice (!)"
She smiled a little once more, then vanished.
Klaus was back home...
-ArBaN-
I didn't tell Damon that I was going to go and see Klaus, because I knew his reaction. Denile and probably lock me up so I couldn't see him.
Once more I stole his car and drove to Savannah, parking up in my old parking space, staring at the other car that I recognized- Klauses.
Now I walked up to the door and knocked twice with the griffin knocker, waiting. A second later, it was opened and I was faced with Stefan, who looked more shocked at seeing me than I was of him.
"Get out of here." he mouthed, but I ignored him and walked past, hearing my heeled boots clack against the wooden flooring.
"Oh Nik? Where are you?" I called through the hallway, then walked into the drawing room where he was stood next to the window.
"Could you leave us, Stefan?" he said as he turned to me, setting his glass down. Stefan was gone in an instant.
Klaus just stared at me, then walked forwards, making me step back a step. He stopped and sighed. "I'm sorry, Cherie."
I shook my head, staring at him with hard eyes. "The time for games are over, Niklaus. Let Stefan go now."
He cocked his head now, then walked up to me and his frown turned into a little growl. "You smell like Damon Salvatore."
"Oh do I? Probably because I was screwing him all last night."
Now Klaus chuckled once, not sounding very amused. "I hear my brother is also awake?" he now said, turning away back to his glass.
"Yes." I said, stepping forwards as he poured me a glass of blood, giving it to me. "You hear correctly."
Now he snorted in laughter. "Oh? He still loves you, you do know that right?"
"He doesn't like that anymore."
"Lies. I know my brother very well. He still loves you. I assure you." he said with another chuckle, topping up his glass and raising it to his lips.
"So, Stefan?" I now asked with a slight growl. Klaus set his glass down. "I consider him payment for all the, ah, unfortunate moments his brother has done. How is dear Elena handling being away from her boyfriend?"
I went to slap him, but he caught my hand in a vice like grip and said sharply. "Don't make enemies with me, Cherie."
Now I yanked it away and glared. "No. I'm taking him back now." I turned away and Klaus called for Stefan to come back, a moment later, he appeared.
"This is my answer, Arianne." Klaus smirked, then I heard Stefan yell out in shock and pain as Klaus stabbed him in the back, smirking at me as if it proved a point.
"See? He belongs to me. I can kill him whenever I want, however I want. So-" he yanked the blade out and tossed it aside, picking his glass up.
"Your choice Cherie. Stand with me again, or... force my hand."
I walked up to him and stopped when I was mere centimenters from his face. "Oh I stand with them you prick." I felt something collide into my chest, then a crunch as the wall opposite had me fly into it, Klaus now pinning me to it with a hand at my throat.
"Go on then." I mocked him, eyes hard. Klaus stared at me, then let me drop to the floor, saying quietly.
"You know I've no wish to harm you Arianne."
I rubbed my throat and chuckled harshly. "Well, you're doing a freaking good job at hurting me. I loved you Niklaus, I really did... and now you really have turned into that moster I hoped I could stop you from becoming." I hissed now, leaning back against the wall. "I hate you."
He now walked back over, cocking his head a little at me. "Hate is a very passionate emotion." he told me, tracing a finger on my cheek, but I pulled my face away and he took me by total suprise, kissing me, but not before I pushed him hard away, making him crash into the table, tipping his glass over.
"It's over, Niklaus. For good." I growled, pulling the engagement ring off and walked over to the table, placing it on there, turning without another word. I glanced at Stefan as I walked past, but knew the battle had just begun.
Oh I knew of a way to kill Klaus. He had told me himself...
Big mistake.
Beware a vampire bitch scorned.
