Chapter 5: Beware the patient women
Theresa and Claire were relaxing near a small 'lake' where the young people of Mystic Falls liked to party back in the fifties to more recent time -according to what they could observe from the Other Side-.
-''He is looking for us." Claire announces in Japanese -her mother tongue- as she adjustes her sunglasses on her nose. She didn't really need them, but she spent enough time among human to appreciate things because they were pretty –to a certain point- not only because they were functional; however for her mother, it was a foreign concept. "You should put your bikini on; you know how vampires are, sex drive and all. And we still need to have a conversation. " Certainly their body was marked by numerous battles but their shapes remained perfect. Therefore, Claire found the need to remind her because her kind was not very concerned by that kind of thing, they got their kicks elsewhere.
-"You are right." she admits getting out of the water. "Remember: we cannot show our true strength, for plan A or B to work we need to make allies or at least relations. And we both know how Klaus will react if he is out powered." Theresa repeats herself while she puts a bikini on, her pale skin still wet.
Minutes later
-"You thought you could manipulated us love but I am not such an easy target, get the lock out of me or I will tear you apart" Nicklaus roars his hand around Theresa's neck. He hates to feel this weaken, like he was a hundred years old vampire. His fangs elongated and his eyes changed. Claire panicked: 'who knew what Theresa blood could do to a vampire?' She was very powerful. She pushed him weakly compared to her true strength but he did not let her go.
-"Manipulate?! you have appeared minutes ago ! when were we supposed to scheme something! I will put the lock out of you if you wish to suffer this much but do not touch her!" Claire shouts hitting his chest with controlled force. Nicklaus hesitated, finally noticing the improvement in him: he wasn't sweaty, or on edge like before, he controlled his body and mind just fine; he was just weaker like all the Salvatore vampires of this earth. ''Don't touch my mother'' Claire finally snaps letting her eyes changed in their yellow tone, the veins on her face show and all her teeth sharpen but gets a grip on herself before she release a blast of full magical energy. However it was already too late, Claire's vulnerability at the moment had allowed Nicklaus to see some glimpses of her life. So she stared at him, her eyes wild, anxious to know what he could have witness. Claire could not bear to let her mother down.
-"We just want to leave this place...does this scheme is complex enough...for feeding your paranoia asshole!" Theresa articulates while she chokes. She hated her plan already, particularly when she could have his head on a spike by now. Nicklaus was processing what he has just seen: a swing of a sword, a little girl screaming Theresa name, her head and hands cut out of her body. That was what did it for him, he released his victim and looked at Claire, really looked at her. Her pretty pale face stained by tears was turned toward him, expecting. They were something about her, he could not pin point exactly.
-"But I don't want to leave..." he whispers then says out lout "For know I will keep the lock." When he finally vamped away, Claire was relieved.
