The Mikaelsons and the Petrovas...
Here goes nothing…
Chapter 3:
The horse-drawn carriage moved sluggishly through the dirt road. The agonisingly slow pace made Elijah irritated, Klaus impatient and Rebekah want to scream with frustration. "Can this carriage go any faster?" Rebekah whined. "Unfortunately no, it can not." Elijah answered with a groan. "Nik could we possibly stop for a while?, my legs are cramping and I would like to feed as well." Rebekah asked her older brother.
"If we stop now we will never make it to the ship in time Bekah." He replied. Although at the mention of the word feed his gums begun to burn and itch like crazy. He hadn't feed before they left. He was preoccupied with the arrangements of the trip as well as getting his siblings out the door on time.
"I don't know maybe we should stop Niklaus. We have been travelling for four hours. The horses must be exhausted." said Elijah. Klaus pondered the idea. They have been travelling for quite a while, the poor creatures were probably in need of food and water. He did have a soft spot for animals too so he decided a fifteen minute break wouldn't hurt. "Fine, a small break would be suitable for all."He stated.
Rebekah almost cheered with joy. She need blood so badly, especially on such a hot and muggy day. Klaus signaled for the driver to stop at the next town so they could rest.
The carriage came to slow halt and finally rested. The three vampires disembarked, stretching their stiff limbs as they did. Elijah cracked his neck and arms and surveyed the little town they had chosen to rest at. It looked small with a tavern in the distance and an inn across it. The town seemed alive despite the early hours and the town folk could be seen engaging in their daily activities.
The siblings begun to walk along the dirt road to reach the old shop next to the inn when they heard several shouts and threats being made. "That damn thief!. If I ever see that girl again I'll kill her with my bear hands. I swear I will!." A man with a bald head and an unkempt appearance shouted. It was obvious that he was the shopkeeper who had just been robbed.
The man went over to the tavern and a short while later dragged a lanky rugged looking man out of the the pub. "Dammit Nigel it's your girl that did this. That kid you keep around your place. Saw her with my own two eyes.!" The shopkeeper screamed. "She isn't my girl, John." Nigel shouted back. "She's just some kid that I made work here for a bit. She ran away a while ago, been looking for her I was."
Klaus, Rebekah and Elijah watched as the scene unfolded but continued to the market anyway. The shopkeeper saw them approaching and quickly ran back into his store. From their expensive clothing he could tell they were rich. The original vampires walked into the shabby looking store. Niklaus pulled out his best fake smile that was enough to charm anyone.
"I believe you were recently robbed mate." Klaus stated. "Yeah, some little girl stole a loaf of bread and an apple right under my nose she did." He answered rather angrily. "Little bitch walked it, grabbed it and took off." "Well isn't that a shame." Rebekah said rather sarcastically. "What can I get you sir ?" The shopkeeper asked Klaus." Oh, just some of your blood." Klaus replied calmly as his features begun to change and the dark purple veins started to appear beneath his blue eyes.
The shopkeeper's expression turned to one of horror before Klaus grabbed him from behind the counter and sunk his fangs into the man's jugular. Rebekah watched rather excitedly and compelled the man to remain quiet while her brother fed. Elijah smirked at the scene. That shopkeeper was a real ass and deserved his treatment for denying a child food. Elijah exited the store and made his way to the forest like area that boardered the village.
Elijah was rather hungry himself and decided to hunt a deer or any other wild animal. He was strictly off human blood for a while, until he could deal with his past properly. Elijah trudged toward the forest and once inside he began to move silently. He turned on his vampire senses, when he heard a strange sound. He tuned his heightened hearing and focused and heard what sound like giggling. Using his speed he stalked closer to the source of the sound. He definitely was not expecting what he saw next...
