Hey guys sorry I didn't update yesterday. Happy Belated Labor Day!
Thank you for the reviews and the favorites!
I planned on writing this chapter from Klaus' point of view, but then I decided that I wanted to write another journal entry from Stefan. I hope you guys like it; this chapter begins to explore what we didn't see in the episode.
March 16, 1922
Chicago is more than ever what I wanted it to be. I feel Alive here. There is blood flowing non-stop along with the drinks.
With Rebekah I have no black outs. I remember everything. We have blood shared multiple times and it is unbelievable. I just… I can't get enough of her.
I am glad that her brother Nik likes me. I had drinks with him last night and I was afraid that he would rip my heart then and there; but he did not. I felt as though I had to impress him so I mistreated Liam Grant. I hurt him and his wife. I tortured them, but there blood was delectable.
I believe that Nik approved of that. I saw him watch me closely as I cut into Lila's wrist. He was surprised that I forced Liam to drink his wife's blood.
…
There was a reason why I wanted to write in my journal today.
Rebekah's brother, Nik, just left my apartment. I wasn't really sure why he came. Nik said it was to thank me for allowing Rebekah to have a good night, but I could see that it was not the real reason. For an Original vampire, he was not a very good liar.
He came shortly after ten in the morning. I heard him walking up the stairs. It surprised me because I assumed that he would be silent as he came to find me. He walked like a human making loud steps. Maybe he was trying to be loud?
I remember when Lexi claimed that I was too loud to hunt. She took me out into the woods (she had me hunting deer. She was crazy thinking an animal diet would sustain me. I prefer human blood; it brings the best out.) In the woods, Lexi had me zoom through the trees after the animals. I was never able to make without snapping a twig. We spent days going over how to walk, it seemed like there were a lot of rules at the time, but I am glad that Lexi taught me how to walk silently. It makes it much easier now sneaking up on my prey. I love seeing the look in a human's eyes right before I bite into them and drink their blood.
Anyway, after Nik came into my apartment he didn't seem disgraced at how small it was. I tried to explain to him that I had money and I could afford a better place, but I was barley ever home, so why would I need a better place. I sounded stupid. I kept stumbling over my words. I was trying to prove to him that I did have money and I could support Rebekah if he would let me.
Do I want to support Rebekah? I don't think I do.
I mean there is definitely a connection, but I just met her.
Although I don't usually spend this much time with the same girl, so maybe it is a sign.
Listen to me, I am babbling back and forth. I have no need to argue over this. Nik would never let his sister live apart from him, I think he is very protective which is good; if I had a younger sister that was alive, I would want to protect her the best I could.
…
It didn't startle me that Rebekah's brother stopped by. It surprised me more that he wanted to know why I wondered what Liam Grant's name was before I continued to torture him. I tried to make excuses, but he saw through all of them.
He threatened to compel me if I didn't tell the truth.
Did you know that original vampires can compel other regular vampires?
It surprised me, I wasn't expecting it. I told him the truth because I didn't want to be compelled. I thought that I would never be compelled after I turned. Katherine compelled me when she stayed with my family as I was a human. I have the memories now, but I did not like the feeling of compulsion, but unfortunately for humans it gets me what I want.
Have I been compelled as a vampire before this? I will have to ask Rebekah the next time I see her. Hopefully she will give me a straight answer.
I showed Nik the list of names in my closet. He liked how I stored my liquor. He told me that he just kept it out in the open, and I remember seeing that when I was at his apartment a few days ago. It makes sense because he could just compel anyone to forget about it.
He was surprised at the list of names I kept. But he smiled and said that he was beginning to like me more and more. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not. What did that mean? Would he use me to kill his enemies? I hope not.
…
Now two people know about the secret list. Nik and Damon. I wrote my brother about it. I never received a response, but I am glad for that, Damon might come and ruin the fun I am having in Chicago.
If I wasn't so keen on Rebekah, I would be having a different girl each night. So much blood. So much sex. Although I suppose that I am still having a lot of blood, but now I am sharing it with her. She makes me go crazy. I want to be close with her all the time.
…
I, umm.
…
Did I do the right thing by showing him where I kept the list of names?
Why am I asking you that? You are a stupid journal that has no way of responding.
I wonder what Nik will tell Rebekah. I hope he doesn't blab the secret about.
I need a drink.
….
There that's better. I just had a shot of whiskey. This day has been crazy.
I should just go to Gloria's and drink away the crazy. Maybe Rebekah would be there. Nik did seem to like me this afternoon so I believe he would let his sister to continue to spend time with me. She is just what I need.
