Chapter 2 : That cursed little town

-''Somehow I did not imagine our afterlife to begin in the Woods of Mystic Falls." Elijah Mikaelson says while extending a helpful hand to his brother. Still on the ground, the later grasps Elijah's finger and rise;

-"That cursed little town! I should have burn it to the ground when I had the chance." Nicklaus growls;

-''You don't mean it." His brother states calmly as they start to walk at human pace;

-"I do." The hybrid replies trough clenched teeth;

-"May I remind you that your daughter and Miss Forbes still live there..." Elijah starts;

-"Don't speak of them" his brother says, barely containing his emotions, ''please don't.'' The dark haired man notices the vulnerable state in which his brother is and nods. After some time, Elijah points out:

-"You don't seem well.'' ;

-"Dear Elijah, always has the right words to comfort me.'' Nicklaus says in his theatrical way but his brother was not fooled: he was sweating, paler than usual and his posture was lacking his usual energy. They were now in the street of Mystic Falls. "Ah ! the welcoming committee is hiding in the only decent place of the city! I should have known." Elijah focuses his earring in the direction where his brother is vamping and hears women's laughs. As the later enter The Grill, the dark haired vampire goes after him.


-"I miss sake." A woman with short blond hair says with a sight before she drinks the content of her glass. Her comrade nods and does the same. Nicklaus could only see their backs as they were sat in front of the bar. "Please come in, we have enough alcohol to share it with the both of you." She says before she turns around, and discovers the two vampires. 'She seems to recognize me.' Nicklaus thought, pleased:

-"You seem to know me, perfect! Now explain to me where we are and what the next step is love.";

-"First of all I am not your 'love' or anything." At this point, the hybrid was smiling despite him, the stranger remind him of a memory he shares with Caroline; hell! He had to admit that even her features was very similar to his blond beauty: she had a straight nose, slightly turn-up, well-rounded lips and almond-shape blue eyes almost slanting, however he could tell that her hair was naturally straight. She seemed to be in her twenties like her comrade.

-"And for the rest sit down, we will explain what we know about this place." The other woman says with a firm but quiet voice while she touches her comrade's hand to calm her. "My name is Theresa, and this is Claire.'' She goes on and Elijah perceives her slight accent but could not exactly tells where it came from as he takes place next to her. For the rest, she had long blond wavy hair, light blue eyes, and round features except for the oblong shape of her face.

-"I will pass but do tell." Nicklaus says harshly since he was already irritated by her.

-"Nicklaus." his brother warns, "As you may have understand, this is my brother Klaus, and I am Elijah Mikaelson." Theresa tilts her head in a graceful manner to the older vampire benefit and turns to Nicklaus:

-"If you are more comfortable that way..." she answers him smirking;

-"Don't push me'' Nicklaus yells, Elijah was right, he was feeling sicker and sicker but do not care at the moment as the woman has not reap what she had sow yet.''or I will kill you." Theresa laughed at his nonsense but it was Claire who replied:

-"Really? Don't you have understand ? we are already dead." Elijah looks at his brother lost for word while the later is screaming without restrain, destroying the bar with his fists, black veins growing on his face. 'Niklaus certainly has a temper, but this is beyond' he tought.

-"I will not...not...be..." Nicklaus struggles to form a coherent sentence, his eyes wild;

-"That what I thought, there is too much supernatural energy in his body right now, would you put your brother out of his misery or should I do it myself." Theresa states in a almost bored manner.
