Looking past Josh I see Klaus lean against the counter waiting for me to answer his question. Setting down glass down after I had taken a healthy drink. Letting the cold crisp liquid run down my throat. I looked up and meant the worried eyes of josh as he looked on also waiting for my answer.
"Now what makes you think someone besides the little baby sister you sent to watch me was here, No offence." I said looking over towards Josh.
"None taken." He said as he watched on.
"Now love there is no need for games just tell me who was here." Klaus said moving around the counter and standing in front of me.
"You already know he was here, Klaus so why do I have to say anything, Ah now I get it, Let me guess that the werewolf part of you smelled it when you walked in the front door." I said I turned to finished making my sandwich.
"Who knows maybe I am trying to see if you would tell me the truth." He said taking the mayo from me and setting it down and grabbing my shoulders and tuning me to face him.
"Let's just be honest you just want to know if I can be compelled by him, now if you don't mind I would really love to get make to making something to eat because I am starving, but the answer is no I still can't be compelled trust me he tried I played long I am pretty sure he bought it, he just wanted to know if you lived here and I told him no that I was the one who lived here." I said as I turned back to making my food.
"Now I wonder how he knew to look here, were you followed by any chance?" He asked looking over at Josh.
"No I made sure to take the back way so I would not be seen." Josh said standing up just a bit straighter as he tried to convince Klaus what he was saying was true. I had no reason not to think it wasn't. Just by the looks of it you could tell Josh was scared of Klaus. Elijah was still off to the side keeping quite as he watched on.
"Well I want you to go back to the compound and be sure to keep those ears open I want a report of everything Marcel is doing, I don't want anything like to happen again, Elijah why don't you see young Joshua here to the door while I have a word with Niki." Klaus said watching Josh and his brother walk out of the kitchen. Once they were gone he turned to me.
"Now I am not asking much from you love just honesty and for a little bit of trust, I don't think that is much now do you?" He said watching me.
"Oh no I would be more than willing to be honest with you, but you see it is hard to do when you do things without asking me like oh I don't know moving me out of my place without asking me for starters, and keeping me here like I am some kind of prisoner, all be it a nice prison but a prison none the less." I said I turned to grab a plate and put my knife in to the sink. Placing my sandwich on the plate and cleaning up the rest of the little mess I had made.
"I did that for your own protection, and yes I would rather have you here then where I can keep an eye on you till I figure out what is going on." He said leaning against the counter watching my every move.
"Fine I get it, I really do and I am willing to abide by these rules you want to impose over me but I want to negotiate the terms of this imprisonment you have bestowed me with." I asked turning to reach in to the cabinet for a small bag of chips to go with my sandwich. I heard him let out a chuckle as he smiled down at me.
"Oh do tell me what are these terms that you have." He said as he crossed his arms and watched me.
"Well first I want to be able to go back to work, I can't imagine what Jess is going through without me there and I have some explaining to do well more like lies to tell" I sad looking up at him. "Before you start to think that I am just going to run away the first chance I get I won't all be it the thought did cross my mind but I am just too tired to run and I have a feeling you would find me where ever I went anyway." I said as I carried my lunch over to the table and sat down slowly making sure not to hurt myself anymore then I already was.
"I don't see why I can't let you go back to work for now but if at any time I deem it to unsafe then I am locking you in your room." He said sitting in the seat across from me.
"How barbaric of you." I say as I open my bag of chips and eat one as I extend my arm to offer him. He looks at it for a few seconds before taking one and eating it.
"Not barbaric just being careful as all." Klaus said just as Elijah walked backed back into the kitchen.
"Well now it may be just a bit drastic to just have her locked up in her room I mean you could at least let her come down to make herself something to eat every now and then." Elijah said giving me a small smile.
"I may be a bit of an ass brother but I am not going to starve the poor girl of course she is allowed in just about any part of the house." He said looking up at his brother and giving him a small laugh.
"You two are just loads of fun; now back to my job can I go back or not?" I asked putting my half eaten sandwich down on the plate and taking a drink.
"You can go as long as you I don't know check in every few hours that seems fair now doesn't it brother?" Klaus asked as he stood up.
"'I don't see a problem with that, gives her the freedom she wants and her place of employment is not fair so she should be safe there, I will see if we can't get Davina to spell the little shop so no one but us can enter, would that put you more at ease Niklaus?" Elijah said as started to pull out his phone.
"Seriously you are going to put a spell on the shop, is that even possible?" I asked in a bit of shock that they could just do that.
"Yes it should be fairly simple." Elijah said trying but failing at trying to convince me that it would.
"Ok just one little problem with your plan, what if one of the people that comes in to the shop all the time just happens to be I don't know one of you or some other supernatural being, how am I going to explain that to not only them that I know about what they are but to Jess that they can't come in?" I asked looking up at both brothers from the table.
"She does have a point Klaus you of all people know half the damn city is as she put it a supernatural being for crying out loud." Klaus's brother added.
"We will come up with something but you can go back in a day or two, your still in pain and need rest that is my final offer." Klaus said as he looked down at me.
"Fine but can I call Jess and tell her I won't be in for a few more days?" I asked hopefully.
"That won't be a problem I told her not to come back for at least a week so that way we had time to clean up the mess that's there." Elijah added.
"Well now that we have that settled I am going to be paying Marcel a little visit, care to join me brother?" Klaus asked looking over at Elijah.
"I suppose I should join you, we would not want you to go starting another world war now, would we?" Elijah said looking at me with a smirk.
"Wait a minute you started a world war?" I said looking at Klaus in shock. "How does someone even go about pissing off that many people in order to start a freaking war?" I asked looking at Elijah. He just looked at a Klaus who was smirking and just shook his head. "Which one was it?"
"Oh no need to worry about that love plus I am pretty sure I had a hand in starting both of them." Klaus said shrugging as he stood up. I just smirked and took another bite of my sandwich. I watched as they both headed out of the kitchen and just as he was almost out of sight Klaus turned around. "Please do stay on the grounds and around and in the house would you." He asked
"I will scouts honor." I said finishing off the last of my chips and sandwich as I watched him walk out the door.
I had cleaned up my plate and mess that I had made and walked to the back door and opened it. I made my way towards the pool and looked over the water. I slipped my foot out of my flip flop and dipped my toes in feeling the cool water against my skin. As I dipped my toes in the water I looked around me, groves and apple trees as far as the eye can see. I took my pool out of the water and slipped it back on and walked towards the little gate. I unlocked it and walked through moving towards the big apple tree in front of me. I found a little basket outside the gate and picked it up. As I made my way around the tree I started to pick up ripe looking apples and adding them to the basket. After I had about a dozen or so I started to make my way back towards the house. I made sure to lock the gate as I passed through it. I made my way around the pool and up the steps and as I was about to open the door it flew open and knocking me back hard, I landed on my back hitting my head as I went down. Reaching up to feel the back of my head I felt a lump starting to form. Blinking away the haze in my eyes I looked up and saw Rebekah standing there in the door way looking down at me.
"What the hell are you doing out here?" She pretty much yelled at me as I tried to sit up while holding the back of my head.
"Well hello to you to, hasn't anyone ever told you to open a door carefully because you never know who is behind it." I said standing up. "Plus what I was doing was none of your concern." Looking at her before I started picking up the apples and putting them back in the basket. "If you must know I was just picking some fresh apples from the tree over there." I said pointing to the tree as I picked up the last apple and made my way passed her and walked inside. I set the basket down on the counter next to the sink and begin rinsing them off. She walked in and slammed the door behind her.
"Now that we have some alone time I would like to talk girl to girl." She said standing on the other side of the island. I turned around to look at her is I dried the apples and placed them in a big bowl on the center of the island.
"Well more like women to bitch, want to take a guess at which one you are?" I said looking up at her.
"There now no need to be snippy, like I said I just want to chat, I want to know what you are doing here and what you want with my brothers?" She asked placing her hands on the counter while giving me what I'm guessing was meant to be a look that should have been scaring me but was not working at all.
"If you really want to know why you don't go ask him, I honestly don't care to talk to someone who has been nothing but a ragging bitch to me." I said with a little laugh as I turned and placed the towel on the counter. Just as I was turning around to face her again I felt myself slammed up against the fridge. My head rung from the impact, it was still hurting from hitting the ground. Her arm was across my neck making it hard to breathe, my hands trying with everything I had to pull her arm off of me.
"I will ask you this once more, what are you doing here and what do you want with my brothers?" She said pressing harder against my throat. When I felt that it was like something inside me had snapped. I gripped her arm with everything I had and it happened so fast. The next thing I knew she was flat up against the fridge with her arm wrenched behind her back.
"Now I have honestly had it with you and your brothers treating me like I am some weakling who can't defend herself, see I have had just about enough of you bossing me around, I have told you twice now to go ask your brothers why I am here because I honestly don't care for your bitchy attitude." I said as I twisted her arm just a little harder to get my point across. "Now if you don't mind I am going to go lay down because that is twice now you have made me hit my head rather hard and I am feeling a bit dizzy, but if you ever lay your hands on me again you will regret that choice and just so you know I am not kidding let this be a warning enough." I said as I twisted so hard I finally heard her arm snap and brake. I let go and stepped back watching her hold her against her chest as she cried out in pain.
"Klaus will have your head for this." She yelled at me. I just laughed at her and stepped closer to her getting in her face.
"Oh you think so, what is he going to say when I let him in on you not only making me hit my head not only once but twice, I mean after all he has for some unknown reason to me put me under his protection, now what would he say if he found out his own sister went behind his back and hurt me?" I watched as her anger grew even more before shutting her mouth. "Plus do you really honestly think I care what he does to me, I mean after all I was trying to end my life not even seventy two hours ago so he would be doing me a favor really." I said picking up apple and taking a bite. "Now like I said I am off to lay down for a bit." Turning my back to her and walking out of the kitchen and up the stairs to my room. Shutting the door behind me I took a seat on the bed and looked down at my hands. They were shaking; I had no idea what just happened. I just over powered a thousand year old vampire and broke her arm. Needless to say my adrenaline was running a bit high at the moment.
I had never felt that kind of rage flow through me before. To be honest I was beyond that scared of what just happened. I slowly finished my apple and tossed the core in the trash. By the time I was finished I had relaxed a bit. I could not keep my eyes off the door. I could not shake the feeling that Klaus or Elijah was going to come through that door and either yell at me and or kill me. I moved to lie down on placing my head on the pillow and I curled up in to a ball and waited.
~Few hours later~
I awoke to a door being slammed. I was not sure how long I had slept. Tossing the covers back I tip toed out of bed towards the window. Looking out I saw Klaus and his sister walking out of the house and getting in to his Rover and driving off. I turned around when a knock sounded at the door.
"Come in." I answered as I backed up against the window. I watched as the door handle turned and in walked Elijah calm and relaxed. He offered me a small smile as he saw me huddled against the window.
"I mean you now harm I promise." He said as he stopped just at the end of the bed. "I have just come to see how you are doing and if you need anything." He offered me another small smile.
"I am ok, I think." I gave him trying to keep my nerves as clam as I could. It looked as though something caught his eye as he moved towards the head of the bed and picked up the pillow I had been sleeping on. I hadn't noticed it before but it had blood on it. My hand flew up to the back of my head and sure enough I felt that there was dried blood there. Looking up at him with wide eyes and my hand still on the back of my head. I was at a loss for words.
"No need to worry dear and to answer the question written on your face, yes we happen to already know what happened here while we were gone today, our dear sister was none too happy to having to admit what she had done, plus her arm had not yet fully healed from what you had done." He said setting the pillow down on the bed and looking up at me.
"I am so sorry, she had knocked me on my ass then tried to threaten me and something inside me snapped, at the point I had just about enough of being pushed around by your brother and her that I just got mad, not to mention she was being a total bitch, that did not help her any." I said with a small laugh.
"Well our sister has not always been the best at getting along with other women; I do think it is payback for Klaus not letting her live her own life I suppose." He said making his way towards me. He came to stand right in front of me. He went to reach for my hand to move it when I flinched. He stilled his hand as he looked at me. "I promise I won't hurt you I just want to look and make sure you are ok." He went to reach for my hand again and I didn't flinch this time. Allowing him to move my hand to check the back of my head. I let my hand fall to my side as he moved towards the bathroom. A few seconds later he came back out holding a little medical kit. He motioned for me to sit on the bed. He stood behind me and he gently cleaned off all the blood and applied a tiny bit of ointment to the cut.
"Thank you for that, I hadn't noticed it before now." I said as he moved to toss away the little towel that had dried blood on it and put the med kit away.
"No thank you needed, now what would you like for dinner you must be famished." He said with a small smile.
