A/N Thank you all for reviewing!
"Sky?"
Skylar's blue eyes widened as her brothers stood frozen on their spot, completely in shock as they stared at their sister. For a long few seconds, the four didn't say anything to each other before Damon's glare turned harsher. The two brothers let their vampire features come forward as their eyes zeroed in on the Original hybrid.
Then, a second later, they charged at the Original.
Klaus, still on top of the Salvatore sister, merely rolled his eyes in annoyance as the two flashed over to him. Skylar didn't get time to warn them against attacking the Original. Klaus started to sit up, hand reluctantly slipping from underneath Skylar's top and he straightened, lower half still in between her legs.
Klaus, whose Henley was bunched up due to her hands that had been grabbing at him, smoothed down his shirt as he eyes the brothers."Right, gentleman-"
Damon punched Klaus across the face while Stefan grabbed the Original by the shoulders, kneeing him in the ribs, tearing the Original off of the female vampire.
"Get away from her!"
Klaus spat out blood, chuckling as Damon punched him again and he merely grabbed the Salvatore brother's fist, snapping the bones in his fingers before he headbutted the blue eyed male vampire. Damon staggered backwards while Stefan lunged at Klaus, tackling him to the ground. The two knocked over the bar, sending bottles smashing to the ground and Stefan attempted to strangle Klaus but the Original flipped them over, fingers locking around Stefan's throat.
"I don't want to kill you, old friend."
Stefan's red vampire eyes glared up at Klaus, hissing out."I'm not your friend."
Stefan punched Klaus with his other hand, kicking the Original off of him.
Damon let his brother attack Klaus while he raced over to his sister, grabbing her up from the sofa.
"Sky, are you okay?"Damon's human features came forward as his hand cupped her neck where Klaus had been nuzzling, a worried look in his eyes."He didn't bite you, did he?"
"What? No, he-"
Skylar was cut off when Stefan was thrown across the room as Klaus jumped up, wiping the blood from his mouth. Her little brother smashed back against a wall, knocking down paintings of the Original family before he tumbled to the ground. Klaus chuckled, licking blood from his teeth as Stefan got to his feet.
"You should learn to control your brothers, love. Otherwise, they'll get themselves into trouble."
Stefan and Damon scowled at Klaus, starting toward him but Skylar flashed in between the three men, hands held out towards her brothers.
"That's enough!"
Klaus smirked, raising his eyebrows at the Salvatore brothers."You heard the lady, mates, stand down."
"Stand down?!"Damon hissed, eyes turning back to their usual colour as his human features came forward."You tried to maul my sister."
Klaus smirked, stepping forward and stopping behind the brunette female vampire.
With his fingers he brushed back her long brown hair, showing her neck that showed no poisonous bites. The only imprint of teeth on her neck seemed human, and a fading bruise was the only sign of anything on her neck.
"Does it look like a mauled your sister, Damon?"
Damon's brow had furrowed for a moment before he replied, voice unsure."We saw you! She was terrified of you!"
Klaus frowned, looking insulted and annoyed.
Skylar shook her head, cutting off her brother."Damon, stop. Let's just-"
This time, she was cut off as Klaus' palm cupped over her mouth, pulling her back against his chest.
He let his double fangs come forward, and his blue eyes turned amber, veins appearing underneath them. Klaus let out a hungry, harsh growl, licking his double fangs before he lowered his face to her neck, stopping inches above her skin.
Damon and Stefan straightened, about to rush toward his sister when Klaus spoke."Look at her. Does she look terrified of me to you?"
The Salvatore brother's paused during their rush to get to their sister as they heard Klaus' question. They shared a confused look before their eyes zeroed in on their sister who wasn't fighting against Klaus. Her eyes were wide but not with fear. Her heart was racing but, again, not because she was scared. In fact, she wasn't trying to cry out for help against Klaus' hand that was still over her mouth. She wasn't clawing at him to try and get free.
She looked worried.
But not for herself, not because Klaus' fangs were near her skin, but because she was looking at her brothers.
As if she were trying to stop them from knowing something.
"Sky?"
Klaus let his hand fall from her mouth, and she wet her dry lips as she stared at her brothers.
When Skylar said nothing, Stefan asked."Was he hurting you?"
She silently shook her head, hands in her back pockets as she glanced behind her at the hybrid before she finally spoke."No, he's never hurt me himself."
"You're not here against your will?"
Skylar, once again, shook her head before answering."No."
"Then why are you here?"
"Other than the fact it's massive and the staff bring you breakfast in bed?"Skylar forced a laugh, trying to bring the attention away from herself."They've got the best shower and-"
Damon interrupted his sister, flashing over to her, shaking her harshly."Sky, why are you here with him?"
Klaus, sensing Skylar's panic as her brother shook her, spoke."Can you blame her for being here, Damon?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You haven't noticed she's been missing for what? 48 hours?"Klaus said, hands settling on Skylar's shoulders where her brother was shaking her, pushing Damon's hands from her."She's smiled more with my family than she has with her own in the last year."
After observing her, Stefan stared at his sister as he came up behind his brother."She's sleeping with him."
Damon stared at his sister before he let out a loud laugh.
He shook his head, nudging his brother."Very funny."
"It's not supposed to be funny; it's true."
Damon glared at his brother, laughter fading."She wouldn't. He tried to kill us, Stef; he almost ruined you when he took you away all summer."
Damon looked at his sister, asking."Right, Sky?"
She didn't reply, just crossed her arms over her chest, not denying anything.
She didn't have to listen to them if they didn't bother to listen to her.
"Sky?"
"Just go home, Damon."She sighed, rolling her eyes and beginning to get irritated."Take Stefan, go back with Elena and leave me alone."
Damon's eyes hardened as his gaze flickered between Klaus and Skylar.
The looked Klaus and Skylar shared was the answer he needed.
"You're kidding?"Damon's voice beginning to rise as he glared at his sister."Are you stupid? He ruined our lives!"
Skylar lost her cool as her brother insulted her with no shame at all and she shouted back."No, Elena ruined our lives!"
Damon looked back at Stefan, gesturing to their sister."Can you believe this? Are you going to weigh in at any time?"
Stefan shrugged, hands in his pockets."He's not hurting her and, frankly, I would like to get out of here because I'm not in the mood for more family drama."
"Stef, she's screwing him!"
Stefan sighed, looking at Skylar."Is he forcing you?"
Klaus growled."I'm not a monster."
Skylar shook her head, answering."No, he's not."
"See?"Stefan looked at his brother, shrugging again."If she wants to join the Addams family, that's her business and, while I hate the idea of them doing anything behind closed doors, I don't want to fight with our sister anymore, Damon."
Stefan walked up to his sister, glaring at Klaus for a moment before he patted her shoulder."You can screw up your life however you want because I've done the same thing but don't expect me to come around for Sunday dinners with this dick."
Stefan, acting like her brother for the first time in a long time, leant forward and kissed her temple.
He backed away but not without glaring at Klaus again then looking at his brother."You want to push your only sister away even further? Fine, be my guest."
Without one more word, Stefan left the mansion, slamming the door shut behind him.
Damon glared at his brother before turning around and facing his sister."What does he know? He's still in blood rehab."
"You?"He pointed at his sister, stepping closer and grabbing her."You're coming home with me."
She shook her head, trying to wrench her arm from him."No, I'm not. I don't want to be home right now, Damon, because it doesn't feel like home."
"Home isn't here either!"
Damon grabbed her roughly, beginning to drag her towards the exit, picking up her jacket on the way.
Klaus followed, trying to remain calm despite his anger."She said no, Damon!"
Damon, still yanking on his sister, glared over at Klaus."She's my sister which means, however harsh; I have to decide what's right for her whenever she's acting like a nutjob!"
Skylar fought against her brother, shoving him away from her, only to be grabbed by the arm again. She shouted at him, clawing at his arm as his other arm locked around her waist, dragging her towards the door.
"Let go of me!"
Klaus grabbed a nearby piece of wood that had broken from a table, storming over to Damon, a wild look in his eyes."Just say the word, love and I'll-"
"Don't, all right?"Skylar begged Klaus, not wanting her brother hurt."Just let me deal with it."
Klaus squeezed the stake, glaring at Damon but he nodded.
"Sky, don't make me snap your neck."
Skylar pushed at her brother, but he was older and stronger.
"You don't listen to me so why should I listen to you?"
"Skylar, I'm trying to help you!"Damon whispered to her, hurt in his eyes as he looked at her."Okay, I get it, you were right. Elena is not good for me; she's manipulative and destroyed us, and if you come home I won't see her anymore. I screwed up; I get that."
"Damon-"
"Why are you trying to hurt me? You can't seriously go this far to make a point!"
Damon glared at her, pointing at Klaus who was watching, ready for her word to intervene.
"For the first time in my life, something I do isn't about you!"Skylar shouted at him, punching at his chest, angry tears in her eyes."You pushed me away, Damon, you forgot about me."
"What? I never forgot-"
"You weren't there when I was bitten and close to death and, it was only what? Ten minutes ago when you noticed I was gone, right?"
"I'm sorry, all right?"Damon sighed, grabbing her hands and kissing the backs of them."I'm sorry. Maybe I did...maybe I did forget about you just for a while, but I'm here now, okay? I'm right here. Please come home, and things can go back to normal. Just me, you and Stef. Just us. Just family."
"Fool me once, Damon..."
Damon squeezed her hands, shaking his head."Sky...come on."
She wrenched her hands from his own, looking away from him."Just go home. I need space. I like it here."
Klaus, bored of being quiet, chuckled."Of course, you do, love, my family is quite-"
"Shut up!"Damon shouted at Klaus.
Klaus' smile fell, and his eyes darkened."Remember whose home you're in, mate."
Skylar held up a hand, eyes pleading for Klaus to stay out of it and, grumbling underneath his breath, he sighed and nodded.
"You need space with him?"Damon spat, pointing again at Klaus, his blue eyes boring into his sister's."Matt Donavan, I get, hell even Tyler but Klaus Mikaelson? Do you really think that low of yourself? Are you really that tragic and lonely?"
Inhaling sharply at her brother's harsh words, Skylar's face fell.
Never in her life had her brother spoken to her like that. He was hurt, and when he was hurt, he lashed out, but never at her.
Skylar's eyes filled with humiliated tears and she bit back a sob. Klaus, seeing her expression moved forward to catch her before she broke down but before he could reach her, the sound of groan of pain echoed throughout the foyer.
"Bloody hell!"
Klaus stopped in his tracks, eyes landing on the blood that was dripping to the marble ground. He followed the trail of blood, gaze landing on Damon, who had stumbled backwards, clutching his now broken nose. Skylar stood in the middle of the foyer, tears gone and bitterness in her eyes that Klaus recognised.
Damon stared at his sister, wiping the blood from his face.
Skylar had hit him.
The two siblings shared a look of shock from Damon and anger from Skylar.
Nobody said or made a noise until the sound of a cheer came from the top of the grand staircase.
Klaus looked up to see Kol, Rebekah and Elijah standing above them.
And, as expected, the cheer came from Kol.
"Great right hook, darling."
The three siblings were glaring down at Damon, a murderous look in their eyes.
Elijah, hands in his pocket, nodded towards the exit."I think it's best if you leave, Damon."
Nose now healed, Damon shook his head."Not without my sister, she's coming home with me."
The three siblings jumped down from the top of the grand staircase, landing on the ground next to Klaus. Rebekah stepped closer while Kol flashed over to the door, opening it up with a glare.
Rebekah pushed at Damon's chest towards the door, nail poking at him, making him wince.
"She is home."
Damon tried to fight against the Original sister, but Kol grabbed him by the shoulder, pushing him back toward the exit.
"Sky, you can't be serious. I won't ask again, come home with me."
Elijah came up next to Skylar who was torn between sobbing and anger.
"You're more than welcome here, Skylar."
Elijah draped an arm over Skylar's shoulders, turning her away from her brother as he was forced outside of the mansion, the door shutting behind him. Skylar didn't look back as Damon pounded on the door, shouting her name.
"SKY!...SKYLAR!"
Shaking his head, Kol rolled his eyes, brushing his hands together as he muttered."So dramatic, this does not look good on us."
Elijah led Skylar over to Klaus, looking over at his brother."Go easy on her, Niklaus."
Klaus looked down at the female vampire, tilting his head, sending her a small smile. She looked drained, emotionally and physically. Even though he smiled, he felt sorry for her, but he didn't know how to express it.
But he did try.
"I'm tired."
Skylar didn't refuse as Klaus picked her up bridal style, lifting her easily into his arms.
"I've got you."
She rested her head on his shoulder, shutting her eyes and the Original siblings watched as Klaus led her up the staircase.
"Let's get you some rest."
Thank you for reading!
I hope you liked it because I spent a long time on it. I re-wrote it a lot of times, and I tried to give you all what you wanted.
Skylar isn't embarrassed by her relationship with Klaus; she just wants to have something to herself even if she doesn't like him that much but she does have a strong bond with him. Her brothers have always had their own thing going on and leaving her out so for the first time she's doing something for herself.
What do you want to see?
Anyway, I hope you liked it, and if you didn't like it, please don't leave a review, it doesn't help.
If you liked it, please leave a review.
