I woke up, determined that today be the day. I dressed myself like a gentleman and went to find a babysitter for Marcel. I found Elijah. "Brother?"
"Yes Niklaus?"
"Will you watch my kid Marcellus?"
"I would not mind. Why? Where are you going?"
"I am headed off to a council meeting. Sean Kingston is hosting it. He invited me and I must attend." I said and sighed. I hated meetings being hosted by someone other than me.
"Very well. Go attend the meeting. Marcellus will be the angel we know him to be." I smiled, laughing to myself. Yes, Marcel was an angel but as all of us, especially me, he can be a little devil. I left the house and then, when I was out of sight, I tracked down Celeste.
"Celeste?"
"Yes Niklaus?" I twitched at that name but smiled at her.
"Come on. If you want today to be successful, call me Klaus. I wish to be your friend. I do not like being your enemy. So I was thinking that if I promised to be on my best behavior that you would take a stroll with me. I would very much appreciate it. Please?" I said and gave a sincere look to my face along with a small pout on my lips.
"I do not see what is wrong with that. I do not like that term 'enemies' are used with us. You are Elijah's younger brother. I come from a group of people, family if you will-"
"Of course. We all need a family love. I believe you on that. Sorry for interrupting. Please, continue."
"A family, both mine and the witch coven, believe that if I am to be in love with Elijah that I must seek approval from all his family members. I have not gained your approval. Maybe this stroll will change that."
"Mm. Yes. It might. Come follow me. I know a very good place we can go where no one can watch us and we can actually be ourselves." I said, smiling at her. She gave a bow and we began to walk. I headed us toward the forest, where the werewolves lived. This was going quite smoothly.
"So do you know if the witches are two or just one coven? And if so which one is yours and what is it called?"
"The witches are of one group. They have small families in them. There are five little covens. It would seem a too difficult thing to explain in just one way. My coven is of the Twilika coven. There are four more but sadly I have not taken the time to learn their names." She said and laughed, I joined her laughter.
"So the Twilika coven? How many are there?"
"There are five families to each coven. There would be my family, and then all I can explain that you would understand is that the rest seem to be my mother's friends. Now where do you come from?"
"Oh! I am sure Elijah has gone over that by now. Unless you two have not had the former love talk. Have you any?"
"Any former lovers?"
"Yes."
"I have one. It was nothing but a childhood crush. What of you?"
"What of me?" I asked. I did not wish to speak of such things. There has only ever been one girl I was actually in love with. The others were just flings. I would have sex, tell my love for them, but that was all. Even at some point, kill them. I was not proud of that.
"Ni- Klaus?"
"Yes?"
"I asked if you have any former loves. Are you up to answering the question?"
"Yes. I have had a ton of lovers. I am not proud of it. The first was a pretty girl. Her name was Crystalia- Crystal, I mean. Crystalia was my pet name for her. She would scold me every time I used it. I replied that it sounded so mystical and that it even fit her and her beauty. She would reply that someone such as myself would of course like mystical items. She had golden hair and eyes as precious as the ocean."
"Sounds like you actually loved her, you two imprinted?"
"What?"
"Imprint. It means to find your soul mate. That is what the witches use to describe such an affair."
"No. We did not imprint. I would never imprint." I saw we had entered the forest. Now all I need is to piss of a werewolf. A young wolf would do fine. I began to scent my way through the forest, looking for a kid. I picked up a scent, the scent of a loner. That would do just fine. I followed the scent.
"I am sorry. Did something go wrong with her?"
"Shut it. You are lucky that I even shared that with you."
"Yes. I am. I am being too nosy. Please forgive me."
"I forgive you. Just don't do it again." I came across a wolf. A male as well as a female. They were of teen stature and they were already yelling at each other. I had picked the perfect scent to follow. "Excuse me, but what are you doing on my property?"
They turned to glare at us. "What do you mean yours? We live here, we own it."
"Well actually I bought it. Honestly. So unless you wish to die, I suggest you leave." I pulled out my gun. They growled.
"You don't tell us what to do. We will inform Dahnahie of this injustice."
"Why? Afraid to lose against me? I could easily kill your Alpha!" I taunted. Well… I could. I felt Celeste touch my arm.
"Why do we not just leave?"
"Yeah. Obey your girlfriend boy." I snorted.
"Cowards!" I growled. Then they finally got a whiff of my scent. YES!
"VAMPIRE!"
"WITCH!" They charged us and I dodged, making them both go for the girl. I smiled. Everything was going perfectly. They were winning against her; Celeste was barely keeping herself a float. The boy turned to me and I readied myself for a fight when Elijah showed up.
"Excuse me! What is going on?" he asked. He stopped them from moving against us. DAMN!
"We were minding our own business when these two showed up. I suggest that if you are in charge of them, that you take them and get lost!" I hissed at them.
"DON'T YOU DARE TALK THAT WAY TO MY BROTHER!" I snarled. I tried to come at them but Elijah held me back by my arm. They were going to attack again when an older wolf came out. I stopped my behavior and watched as the older wolf growled at the children, apologized to us, and took them home. "Don't you dare come back!" I shouted after them.
I felt a smack to my bottom and turned around, ready to defend my own self. "Niklaus what were you thinking? Why did you act that way? What did you say to them?"
"Wouldn't you like to know? Well let us see. They threatened Celeste and I was only defending her. I told them that if they were too afraid of me-"
"I want the truth Niklaus!" I stopped. The truth? Um… The truth was I provoked them into attacking so they would kill the girl.
"How dare you accuse me of not telling the truth? Those werewolves-"
"You, being part werewolf, would know exactly what it takes to set them off." Damn. That was probably true.
"Well what do you want me to say Elijah?" I asked, defeated.
"I think I know exactly what happened here. You lied to me about the meeting, you found Celeste talked her into walking with you, you took her here so that you could find someone else to do your dirty work, and then you provoked them into attacking you two so that you could have Celeste killed. Did I miss anything?"
"I am always the bad guy in every situation Elijah!"
"Because you make yourself the bad guy Niklaus." He said and then sat down on a tree stump. He laid me across his lap and began to spank me. Idiot! I clawed at his leg but he only smacked me harder. I stopped, knowing that if I did not, he would just pull down my pants. I sighed. Now what do I do?
"Elijah I will stick in a box if I have to! I will kill her and you will let me!"
"Or I could just do this." He replied and pulled down my trousers and pants. I struggled. No way in hell was Celeste watching this!
"Oh Elijah. I am so sorry. I thought I was becoming friends with your brother. I did not know. I am so sorry Elijah. Please do not punish him. Please Elijah." I stopped to think about what she just said. She sounded sincere about what she was saying. She was begging for ME. I began to feel guilty. I hated that feeling. That meant I admitted what I was doing was wrong. Well guess what? If I allow her to live, she will steal Elijah from me. I cannot live without Elijah. I loved him. Even if he was being a total bastard right now.
"Do you want to let Nikalus have a chance to kill someone as beautiful as yourself Celeste? Niklaus I want you to stop this crazy behavior. I love you but sometimes I do not understand why you behave in such a manner. The only thing that I can think of that will help you realize that this behavior needs to stop is this."
"FUCK OFF ELIJAH!" I growled and struggled. I clawed at Elijah's leg and he stopped. I smiled. Then I felt a stick to my bottom. I growled. "If you dare go there Elijah I swear that I will make you pa- OW!"
"Niklaus you are good at delivering threats but I guarantee you that this behavior will stop. I am tired of you trying to kill Celeste. I love her. I love you. Any more threats and I will use my belt." I just snorted at him. I would make him pay for this. He just began on my thighs. I jumped at every swat and began to cry.
How could he do this? I loved him. He knew that. What he did not know was that he was spending more time with her and eventually they would move off to have their own lives. I would find a way to kill her. I promise you that. I will not lose Elijah over a dumb girl. SWAT! I jumped again and cried harder.
"I feel bad for him, Elijah. Please stop. I believe he has learned his lesson." He smacked me twice more before he stood me up against a tree.
"Stay there for a minute Niklaus. If you don't I will start over again." He said and he and Celeste went to have a 'private' conversation. I laid my head against the tree. What was I going to do? Every failure ends up with a spanking. That cannot go on. It WILL NOT go on. Then I heard a twig snap.
"Niklaus? You can come out here. Please?" Elijah called.
I left the tree but I did not go to Elijah. Instead, I went home to find and care for Marcellus.
