Guess whose back? Hello Ladies and Gents! How is everyone doing? I hope you all are well. I am sorry I meant to have the next chapter up a while ago but things got a little busy. So I am hoping that you all enjoyed the last chapter. I am not sure yet if I am going to be doing a Klaus pov in this chapter. I might, you will just have to wait and read on to see if I do. Well I guess I should let you get to it. So here is the chapter it does get a little darker towards the end. I hope that you all enjoy it.
Hanging my head as I watched another one of Davina's spells fail. This was like the tenth or maybe sixteenth spell she had tried and we were running low on our two hour time limit that Klaus had given us. Well not so much us more like her. I was saying a silent prayer as she looked through her book.
"I'm not sure there is anything magical about this ring at all, everything we have tried has not worked, I hate to say it but it's just a normal ring." She said as she started to place a few herbs she had just used back on the self.
"So that's a good thing right, that means he can leave me alone and I can go back to pretending that none of this is real." I said as I motioned to her book and the shelves. "No offence" I offered.
"No it's fine I get it, having all of this just thrust on you must have been one heck of a shock." She said as she turned to look at me. Boy was she right. All of this in fewer than 24 hours was a bit much to take in but I was still standing. I was just about to say something when Klaus appeared out of nowhere.
"Sorry no answers yet come back at a later date please." I said as I started to help her put away the herbs.
"Well now love no need to be hostel; I just came to see how the work was coming is all." He said she he looked on at both of us.
"More like wanting to see if I am any kind of threat to you, that's what it is isn't it; I can't be controlled or compelled by you so you must find me to be some kind of threat." I say as I walk up to him standing my ground. Also kind of hard to do when he is taller than me.
"Honestly yes I do find you to be a threat but you also intrigue me which is why I have taken an interest in you." He said as he crossed his arms across his chest.
"Well I am going you give you three guesses where you can shove that interest!" I said getting madder by the second. "Thank you for your help I am sorry he dragged you in to this." I sad to Davina as I grabbed my ring off the table and pushed passed Klaus and made my way out of the crypt. I walked down a row of graves and made a left I saw the gate just up ahead. Thank god I thought to myself I can finally be done with this day. All I wanted was to go to my favorite Chinese place get some take out and go home. I had only woken up a couple hours ago and I was ready for this day to be over already. Walking out through the gate and turning left to make my way to my apartment. I was about 3 and a half blocks form my place and I was going to stop and get some food. I really should have eaten before I went out this morning. Looking ahead I could see people passing along in the distance. I was just about to turn on the next block when I was suddenly pulled in to a small alley way.
"God are you freaking serious right now, I really wish you would stop doing that, I'm not something you can just man handle you know." I said pushing of the brick wall and looking up at him. To my surprise it was not him it was his brother Elijah. "I'm sorry I did not know it was you, but the last statement still stands you and your brother have to stop doing that, you would think with all this time you have spent alive you would have learned how to treat a girl." I said standing up straight. No way in hell was I going to let him know I was scared of him.
"I am sorry I did not mean to as you put it man handle you, that was not my intention, I was just hoping for a moment of your time." He said as he looked down on me.
"Sure as if today could get any weirder, what can I do for you?" I asked watching him.
"I just wanted to say that I am sorry for how rude my siblings have been towards you today, had I known ahead of time what my brother was up to I would have put a stop to it and as for my sister there really no explanation to her." He said as he looked pasted me towards the people just outside on the street. It is not like they can see us tucking in to the alley. "I am afraid this is not going to be going away for you anytime soon and I would hate to see you get in the cross hairs of my brother, but ales I am afraid that until he finds the answers he is looking for about you he will not stop till he finds them or you are dead." My head snapping up at what he just said.
"Wait what the hell are you talking about, I honestly don't see how I am a threat to him, I honestly have nothing, I live in a crappy apartment, I have a job that I can't stand because my boss takes every chance he can get to try and sexually harass me and I can't quit because I have bills to pay, I knew I should have just ignored him and just jumped then I would not be in this mess right now." I said as I paced back and forth as he watched me. What the hell was I going to do?
"I am sorry I know this is a bit overwhelming right now but you need to know what you are dealing with, I would rather be up front with you, as long as we have lived we have never meant someone who could not be effected by our compulsion without the aid of some herb." He stood there trying to explain to me but it was his words were running together as I continued to have a small freak out.
"Seriously a bit overwhelming, you honestly have no idea how bad I am freaking out on the inside right now, I am not meant to be a part of this, what I can tell you is that I mean no harm to you or your family, I just want to forget all of this, now please let me by so I can go home." I asked as I stopped pacing back and forth and stood right in front of him.
"As you wish but if there is ever anything you need you know where we stay." He said as he stepped aside enough for me to move passed him. As I was walking by he grabbed my arm. "I do ask that you do let anyone know where me and my family are staying right at this moment." Slipping my arm from his grasp and turning to him.
"I have no one in my life so there is no one for me to tell, your secret is safe with me." I said as I turned and walked away. Running my hands up and down my face as I made my way home, I stopped by and got some of the best Chinese in the quarter and decided that it was still early enough that I could stop by the book store and pick up my check for the last two weeks. Praying as I walked in to the shop that my boss had gone home for the day, I could do without his bad breath and advances today. As I closed the door behind me I saw Jess the other girl that works here stacking books off to the side.
"Hey Jess are the checks in yet?" I asked walking over to where she was.
"Yeah there in the back but just a heads up he is back there and he is in one of his moods today." She said as she gave me sad look. I know he has done the same thing to her as he has done to me. We were both in the same boat with having to keep this job because we had bills to pay. She was a nice and girl and did not deserve any of his advances. Sometimes life just hands you a band hand and you have to make do with what you're given. Jess had said this to me many times when it came to this job. I gave her a small smile and made my way to the back of the shop in hopes that the door to his office was closed and I could just grab my check out of my box and leave without him knowing that I was here. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the door to his office was closed. Turning to the wall with my little cubie I set my food down on the table and reached up and grabbed my check. I opened the envelope and looked over my pay for the past two weeks. It was never a large check but it was enough for rent and a little money towards other bills that I had. Wait a minute this can't be right. I thought to myself as I started to do the math in my head. This check was not at all what it was supposed to be, I had worked every day for the last two weeks and this check was only pay for two days of work if that. This had to be a mistake. Marching over to his office I opened the door and saw him sitting behind his desk. I walked over and slammed my check down on his desk.
"What the hell is this shit?" I pretty much screamed at him. He just looked up at me or rather my chest and just smiled. I just shook my head in disgust.
"That's your pay for the last few weeks." He said as he continued to stare down my shirt.
"That's a bunch of bull shit and you know it, I worked every day for the last two weeks that check should be way more then it is." I said pointing to the check. "Now I want to know why I was not given my full pay." I said as I stood up straighter. He finally took his eyes off my chest long enough to look me in the face as he stood up and advanced towards me.
"I don't think I like the way you are talking to me, maybe I should teach you a lesson about how you should talk to your boss, what do you think?" he said walking closer.
"I think you need to back the hell off and tell me why you shorted me what I am owed." I said as I stood my ground. I had had enough of these alpha males thinking they can just push me around today. He stopped right in front on me and looked down.
"I think I have a way where you can make that money that's missing from your check." He said as he slides one of his dirty fingers down my arm. Smacking it away in not so much just disgust.
"Yeah that will never happen, there is no way I would touch you with a ten foot poll and there is no way I am trading you any kind of favors for that money, I have a hell of lot more self-respect for myself then that." I said backing up. Now that made him mad. It all happened so fast it was like a blur. He had raised his hand and back handed me so hard that I stumbled back in to the file cabinets and fell down on the floor. I looked up at him in shock as I held one hand to my face. He just smiled and shut the door and locked it.
"You have been teasing me way to long and I intend to take what is owed me." He said as he walked towards where I had fallen on the floor.
"There is no way in hell I am going to let you touch me!" I said raising my voice. I started to scoot back across the floor away from him. He moved so fast the he had one of my legs and was pulling me back towards him. I managed to kick him in the shoulder and he let go of my leg long enough for me to turn over and try to crawl away. I felt his hand on my leg as he pulled my leg back towards him so fast my other leg gave out from under me and my face hit the floor. I could hear Jess banging on the door trying to get in to help me. I gave out a scream as I felt him flip me over on to my back. He started to climb on top of me and all I could do was hit and scratch at him as I felt the full weight of him on top of me. I started to smack his hands away as he pulled at my shirt trying to get it off. I managed to get in a good punch to his jaw but that only seemed to piss him off more.
"Oh you shouldn't have done that." He said as he back handed me again. My head snapped to the side with the force of his hit he had just landed. I heard the fabric on my shirt rip. The banging and screaming on the other side of the door got louder as I felt his fingers run up over my chest. I felt him leaning forward to kiss me when the door shattered off its hinges. It all happened to fast the next thing I know he is being pinned to the wall by Klaus and Elijah was helping me up off the floor.
"Now that is most certainly not the way you treat a lady." Klaus said holding him by the throat.
