Klaus
England, 2 Months Later
I find this party rather dull. Yet my Sister Rebekah and Brother Kol were pestering me about getting out of my foul mood after the escape of Katerina. The doppelganger who was supposed to free me of this damn curse, which my Mother had placed on me only after my true heritage, had been discovered by Father…Mikael. But that's enough reminiscing on that sore topic.
"For God's sake smile Nik, you are making our guest rather uncomfortable with the angry aura you are giving off." Rebekah scolds as she hands me a goblet of wine. Rolling my eyes, I take a sip of the wine; it had a nice raspberry flavor to it.
"I shall be rid of my foul mood sister, when Elijah drags Katerina back here to face the punishment she deserves." I place the goblet down at the rectangular table we are sitting at with some noble acquaintances.
"Survival isn't a crime Nik.' Kol interjects as he takes the seat to my left while Rebekah was on my right. Of course he had a girl on his arm and some blood on his lips. "Besides, isn't she the doppelganger of your beloved Tatia, why on earth would want to kill that ravishing girl?" Kol's tone sounded rather taunting to my ears. I narrowed my eyes and tried to keep my true face from revealing itself as to show my younger impulsive brothers taunts had not gotten to me.
"Do not speak that girl's name to me again Kol." I warn him, my angered eyes meeting his, before taking another drink of the wine. "I was this close to being free from Mother's wretched curse. Only to have that freedom snatched by some pathetic girl who's own family did not want her. The sacrifice was to be a mercy for Katerina. Now she will suffer for centuries before I grant her death's sweet release." As I finish explaining what I planned on doing to Katerina when she is delivered back to me, the doors to the dining hall burst open. The music suddenly stops as Rebekah, Kol, and myself are on our feet ready to meet whoever it was who dared intrude on our party. Imagine my surprise, when I see a rather disheveled Elijah, despite his appearance to the contrary; standing in the doorway.
"Brother!" I greet him as I push out the chair from my way and got to meet him. "You have returned to us." Notably absent of a certain Doppelganger. "Where is Katerina Elijah?" Raise my right brow to him patient, and calmly awaiting his answer. The look his eyes give mine is like that of a child who has failed to do the chores that were given to them.
"Perhaps now is not the time for this discussion Niklaus." He tries evading my question, most likely because of our audience and the scandal it would cause. The Lords Klaus and Elijah kidnapping a girl, it would cause quite the scandal indeed.
"Fine then." I say before turning to our gest. "All of you get out." My tone was rather polite if I do say so myself. But when no one began to move, my eyes narrowed and I frowned. "Now!" My voice echoes throughout the hall. The power in my voice made everyone who wasn't a Mikaelson scamper for the doorway. Once they had all piled out, I focused back on Elijah.
"Now brother, where is Katerina?" I ask a second time, which is something I do not normally do for anyone save my family. His eyes go from Kol and Rebekah for a few seconds each before finally settling back on mine.
"The matter Niklaus has become quite complicated." Now I had already asked twice, and Elijah still had not answered my question; which annoyed me to the point I blurred him up against the wall, much like the night Katerina had escaped.
"WHERE IS SHE?!" I feel my eyes turn bloody and the black veins on my face protruding to become visible.
"Nik!" Rebekah gasp, I hear her approach but is stopped by Kol who I can hear stepping in front of her. Suddenly I am shoved back by Elijah who also wore his true face.
"I am your brother Niklaus, so do not ever dare to do that to me again." He warns as his face slowly turns back to its human façade. I let mine turn back as well. We both calm ourselves as I await his answer.
"Well?" I finally say.
"Dracula, Niklaus; She is Dracula's now."
