I was on top of a building. I had been stalking my brother and his girl for about three days now. They didn't exactly have a repetitious day BUT they did come to this coffee shop every day at least once. In my favor, they did so every 12 PM. I was now sitting on a roof of the building across from their favorite shop. I had my gun ready and waiting patiently for them to arrive. It was 11:30 and they had left early so I guessed that they would appear early as well. I was sitting behind the roof of the building, sniffing every scent that passed by.

Just before I decided to poke my head up to check if they had come yet… I scented them. They had gone in and now all I needed to do was wait. It took them about five minutes until they came out. I waited longer as they were served. Good. I waited for another minute before I dared to peek. They were busy laughing and chatting with each other to even notice Alex pass them to order me a warm coffee. I had told him to do so but I didn't tell him why. He had been confused but I didn't care to explain. Because had I Elijah would have heard.

I jumped on top the pillar with my gun in my hand, ready to aim when they were beginning to laugh again. Fools. I aimed at her head, steadied my aim, and shot at her. The sound went off, the humans around panicked and Elijah saved Celeste. He saw me but I ran off and went home. I was beginning to feel as if I would never kill that wretched woman. I found Marcel and Kol leaving the house.

"And where do you two think you're going?" I asked. Marcel looked away, blushing, and Kol looked at his feet. I smiled. "That is what I thought. Come back in." I said and they sighed. I made sure they obeyed. I was not in a playing mood. "I thought I told you to stay with Rachael?"

"You did."

"And? Where is she?"

"Cooking. Alexander went off to buy a coffee."

"Exactly as I asked of him. You, Marcel should be in your room reading your book."

"But Kol read it to me."

"Really? Kol?"

"Yes. Those dam-" I smacked him before he could finish that sentence.

"A simple yes would have sufficed Kol."

"Okay then. A simple yes." I felt like smacking myself. Kol was such a fool.

"You two run off to the park and play. AND DON'T GET INTO TROUBLE OR I'LL BEAT BOTH OF YOU!" I called after them. I slumped in my chair and sighed to myself. "Rachael? Please bring me a beer… and some type of sweet. I never would have guessed it would be so hard raising a child with another one hanging around."

"Well Master you probably should have thought about it. Though have you noticed something?"

"I have noticed a lot of things. But what in particular are you asking about?"

"I ask, have you noticed that sometimes Kol is the ring leader of Marcel's escapades?"

"That is what I speak of Rach." I replied. "Have they done something such that you should ask a question about it?"

"Actually… yes. They have. Kol pays Marcel to do things for him."

"And?"

"… I found Kol paying Marcel to let him read the book."

"Why should I care? However, you are right. That shall be the only instance of where he shall read his books to him. That is supposed to expand his vocabulary. Now something of more importance before Elijah comes to scold me. Which he inevitably will."

"Why is that?"

"I shot his girl." She gasped. I prevented her from dropping the teapot she was holding. She had been serving me tea instead of the beer and brought me a cake of sorts. I took a bite of the cake before I finished my sentence, laughing. "No you misunderstand. I missed. Now where is my little sister? Rebekah?"

"That is a relief." I scoffed at her. "Rebekah would be roaming around, trying to find a new boyfriend."

"She would seem lonely then."

"She is. She wishes to make up with you but she is resolute that you apologize first. For what?"

"For killing Emeil."

"Why do you kill their mates?"

"Elijah? Because he doesn't realize it but he has stopped spending time with me. I will not stand for it. Rebekah is having the same problem but she falls in love too easily. She says she loves them but I feel it is only lust she has for them."

Then I heard Elijah come in the house. I stilled my movements. I would not help him find me. Rachael did as well. We stood still until he came in the room. I smiled.

"Welcome brother." I said and smiled, as if I had done nothing wrong. Which I had not. He frowned at me.

"Niklaus. I shall not repeat the lesson. I expect you not to apologize. You do so but you go ahead and do the same thing over again. What must I do to teach you that it is not okay to behave in this manner?"

"Drop Celeste and I drop my behavior." I offered. He shook his head.

"Niklaus I do not approve of this."

"Well you never approve of anything I do anyway, do you?" I growled, rushing over to him. He stumbled only a bit. He frowned at me.

"Niklaus, I will not fight you. You are my brother."

"Then show IT!" I hissed. Now or never, right? "IF you really believe me to be your brother then you shall spend tomorrow with me AND ME ONLY ELIJAH!" I yelled.

"Very well then. I shall Niklaus. And if you do try anything like this in the future you shall regret it." He said. Then he turned and walked right past me. I snarled at him as he went by.

"AND I WARN YOU BROTHER! If I ever see Celeste in this house without my permission… I WILL KILL HER!" I shouted and stormed out of the house.
