Third Person P.O.V
Klaus looked down at his wife on the ground he didn't want to go to these measures, but Star had left him no choice right now with her behaviour. He didn't have any faith in the Salvatore brothers as Star had fooled all of them including himself that her humanity had been turned on. Klaus felt ashamed of himself that he fall for Star performance that he really thought that she had turned it all on and forgave him. The man who everyone knew as the devil, who was heartless got his heart broken by the one person he believed would never do that to him. He knew that the only way to bring Star back is to let out one emotion from her, and that hatred, he knew that deep down Star hated him for what he did to her, and he knew that he would be able to let out that one tiny emotion out of her. Klaus had gotten his witch Angelic to perform a spell on Star disabling her from running from him she had linked Star and Klaus together.
"Klaus I hope you're impressed." Angelic asked as she smirked at him, a part of her always admired him, she even disowned by her coven to work for him. That didn't bother Angelic as she felt that she was on the winning team standing by the immortal hybrid, secretly she had longing feeling towards him. She had read Klaus before and knew he could never love another as much as he loved his wife Star, Angelic felt jealously at first when she knew of this. Then over time all she ever wanted for the man that she was in love with, was for him to be happy, even if it made her unhappy. She felt that what love is about to see the smile on the face of the one you love.
Klaus looked up at Angelic smiled while he picked up Star body from the ground. "Once again Angelic, you truly have. There a matter I need to attend to." Klaus brought Star body over to his car, and placed her in the trunk. He bound her with vervain ropes on so she couldn't free herself, he took once final looked at her and closed the trunk. "Thank you Angelic." He smiled at her and got into this 4X4 then drove off to his destination.
While Klaus drove he thought about what Angelic did her him, as always he was impressed by her abilities, he had always been impress by them. She was the one witch that he could really count on, but he only used at desperate time such as now. As earlier in the day after Star had left Klaus totally speechless with the way she had tricked him, he went into his study and saw a letter propped against a glass decanter, he picked it up it had a wax seal with the letter 'K' imprinted on it he opens it and reads it.
Klaus, I've caught wind that there is a witch in New Orleans named Jane-Anne Deveraux plotting a move against you. Hunt her down. What she has to say will rattle you so deeply to your core that chasing little old me will be the least of your concerns. It's been a fun five centuries, Klaus, but I've worn down too many good heels running from you. Love and hate, Katarina.
Klaus was one to never one who would leave a threat unattended, he needed to know if there was any truth in it, and if there wasn't then Katarina Petrova would feel his true waft.
He continued his drive to New Orleans with many things crossing his mind mainly to do with the one he loved that he had gaged and tied in the truck of his car. Klaus felt upset that he had to go to such measure to control her but he felt that this was the only way to deal with her right now. Angelic had informed him of the words Amor noster et solve,Klaus knew what those words meant and didn't want them to pass his lips, because he didn't believe that there love would ever die. After driving like a maniac for the last few hours towards New Orleans he had finally arrived at the familiar city that was once his home. He drove into a parking lot he could hear Star stirring in the trunk of his car.
Star woke up in trunk of a car she tried to move, but couldn't she looked down and notice that she had bonds holding her down, she tried to rip them off but it burnt her skin. "Wh-what?" She spoke groggily from the spell that Angelic had placed on her to keep her down "Where am I?" She felt confused and disorientated, she laid there trying to remember what happened but everything was a blur.
Klaus turns off the engine and gets out of the car he can hear Star groans and mumbles, he approached the back of the car and took in a deep breath before he open the trunk. He see Star squinting from the brightness after being in the dark for so long. "Hello sweet heart, did you sleep comfortability?" He smirks at her.
Star eyes widen as she saw Klaus standing before her smirking, everything began to come back to her as it did her blood began to boil knowing that he was the one who got that red head to take her down. "Nik, you do this to me?" Star spoke with confusion in her voice, she never thought that Klaus would do this to her that he loved her too much to ever hurt her.
Klaus chuckles at Star comment, for a moment he saw a tiny bit of fear in eye, Star know how wicked his mind could be. He knew that she feared what he had planned for her. "Well considering the Salvatore's were doing a poor job." He spoke as he unties her bonds. "So it looks like your caring husband has to step in." He spoke to her smugly knowing it would get to her, especially with him call himself her husband still. Star smirks as she sits up and climbs out of the trunk of his car, she moves close to him like she is about to kiss, but instead she knees him in the nether regions. Klaus groans in pain while holding the area, he thought it was a childish move on Stars part. "Well it good thing I can't procreate." He spoke a little breathlessly before he straighten up. "I can see this going to be very interesting day." He spoke with a little sarcasm while he closes the trunk to his car.
Star glared at him knowing the impact she gave him didn't do much, right now she wanted a white oak stake so she could drive it though his heart. "You're lucky that I'm not cutting them off." She smiles at him angelically.
Klaus knew that he already was getting under her skin like he had planned to. "You're so violent, my dear Star." He smiles as she stood there looking unimpressed with him. "I find it truly adorable." Which he did, he loved the fact that he knew how to get her blood boiling, and knowing that would bring hatred to the surface. It was the only way of bring her humanity, as the love he had for her didn't mean anything.
Star stood there stunned as she watched him walking away from her. "Go to hell Nik!" She looked around and she notice now that she wasn't in Mystic Falls. "Where the hell are we?" She screamed at him with all her might, but Klaus continued to walk away. "Niklaus Mikaelson, you take me back right now!" Star demanded in a childish like of behaviour which wasn't doing her any favours right now in convincing Klaus to take her back.
Klaus found Star tantrum amusing with the way she bellowed out his name, he turns to her while walking backward. "This use to be my home." He smiled at her while she stood there looking like a child not getting her way. "Are you going to stand there all day?" Klaus was highly amused he really didn't expect her to be behaving like this manner, it was certainly a side to his wife that he had never seen before.
Star hated the way Klaus was behaving and she wasn't going to take orders from him either. "I am not going anywhere with you! Take me back! Now!" He just stood there smiling at her, and all she want to do was slap that smile off his face.
Klaus watched as the woman he loved continued throwing a tantrum, he thought he would taunt her further. "You have your legs, why don't you use them." He turned his back to her continued to walk knowing that he and Star were linked and she wouldn't get far.
Star face went bright red with anger, she hated that she allowed him to get under her skin like this. "Asshole!" She screamed before she tried to walk away, but couldn't get far as she felt herself getting pulled back, and she gets more pissed off. "What the hell is this?! What did you to me?!" She shouted in annoyance as Klaus continued to walk causally chuckling quietly to himself. "Did you link us?! Why you miserable pathetic excuse for a man...I'm going to—" She snarled at him at him before getting interrupted.
"Oh I do love it when you lose your temper sweetheart." Klaus began laugh harder as he couldn't hold back anymore of how amusing all of this was to him. "You can stand as long as you want, but eventually you have to follow me." Klaus knew she will be pulled in his direction soon, a moment later he saw at the corner of his eye that Star was next to him, he tried to hold back his smile.
"Where are we?" She demanded once again to him. Star wasn't in the mood for games, she certainly didn't want to be link to the man she loathed.
"We are in New Orleans." New Orleans was the only place that ever felt like home to Klaus that was until he got ran out of town by Mikael over a hundred years ago. He turned to Star who looked unimpressed with the fact that they were here. "Are the tantrum over now?" He asked her while smirking.
Star glared at him and she knew that he was enjoying the fact that she was his puppy that had to follow him all day long. "New Orleans? Why did you bring me here? Did you really think that we could rekindle our romance?" Star found all amusing laughs, but is stopped by louder laughter from Klaus which angered her further.
"Fool once shame me, fool me twice shame on you, there nothing to rekindle." Klaus spoke with a lie more than anything he want his Star back, to rekindle what they once had. Of course he couldn't let her know that. He saw a little hurt in Stars eyes, turned away and continued to walk as he wasn't going to be fooled with her theatrics. "I have a matter I need to attend to." His voice was hard, as he didn't want to fool himself once again with the hope that his Star was coming back.
"What matter? Nik, why are we here?" Star was curious to know what had brought her hybrid husband back to his city. "I'm pretty sure that kidnapping is against the law." Star spoke with concern in her voice, as she saw it was her time to wind Klaus up.
Klaus looked at her for a moment and could see in her eyes that all of his was a game to her. "Like your actually concerned Star, drop the acted it doesn't suit right now." He spoke bitterly to her, he had to remember the woman before him looks like the woman he fell in love with, but it wasn't her no longer.
Star smirked after hearing Klaus tell her that she knew that she couldn't fool him for now. "You're right. I don't care. But I am curious. So tell me what are you up to?" Star knows Klaus wouldn't make such a trip it weren't anything serious or important.
"All in good time, when was the last time you were here?" Klaus wanted to change the subject he didn't want to discuss with her his reason for the trip.
"I don't remember or care." Star spoke a little venomously Klaus nods and walks away from her.
Klaus and Star were walking the street of the French quarters, Star was sulking still with the fact that she was forced to be there against her will, while Klaus walked thinking of how he could find this Jane-Anne Deveraux. A tour guide leads a group down a street. "Welcome to the dark side of New Orleans, a supernatural playground where the living are easily lost, and the dead stick around to play." Klaus, stood on a street corner, observes the milieu.
"Remising." Star spoke in a bored tone Klaus glance at her, before walking away, she rolled her eyes and followed him reluctantly. Klaus enters a marketplace and heads towards a particular table where a woman wearing a headscarf sits with a crystal ball and other similar wares. Seeing Klaus, she begins packing up her things Klaus sits at the woman's table.
"Good afternoon. Time for one more?" Klaus asked the witch he sense that she was the only one here that was actually genuine, the witch glared at him while she continued to pack her things away.
"I have nothing to say to you" The witch knew who he was, and didn't want anything to with him or to betray her coven by helping a hybrid.
"That what all the ladies tell him." Star spoke smugly while standing behind Klaus a little amused with herself, she thought if she going to be stuck with him all day she might as well make it a living hell for him.
"Oh, now that's not very amiable, is it? Weren't you the one that married me?" Klaus looked at Star for a moment with a smirk while she gave him the evil eye, he turned back to the witch. "You don't even know me." He spoke to the witch calmly, all he wanted to know is where he could find this Jane-Anne Deveraux.
"I know what you are. Half-vampire, half-beast. You're the hybrid." She spoke with fear in her voice before she looks up at Star. "And you are unum praeditos." She knew who Star was, and who her father was too.
"Good to know, I'm hungry now." Star went for her, but Klaus stopped her and held her firmly so she wouldn't harm the witch.
Klaus turned to the witch smiling. "I'm the Original hybrid, actually, but that's a long story for another time. Please excuse my wife it's been a long time since she interacted with humans." The witched looked between the both of them, and found their relationship disturbing. "You going to leave to nice lady alone?" Star glared at him as she got out of his grip, he sat back down knowing that Star wouldn't attempt something like that again. "I'm looking for someone- a witch. Perhaps you might be able to help me find her. Jane-Anne Deveraux." He questioned her, but he notice that the woman visibly reacts to the name.
"Sorry. I don't know." She lied to him she knew who Jane-Anne was she was part of her coven, but she wasn't going to tell the hybrid that. She would never hand over one of her own to a creature like Klaus Mikaelson.
Klaus knew she was lying and leans toward her. "Well, now that's a fib, isn't it?" Klaus takes the woman's hand on the table, smiling. "Now, you see, I know that you're a true witch amongst this sea of poseurs, so enough with the fabrications. I've quite a temper." He warned her, Star chuckles behind him which annoyed him slightly.
The woman withdraws her hand she wasn't going to be manipulated by him, and she also had to follow orders too. "Witches don't talk outta school in the Quarter. The vampire won't allow it. Those are the rules. I don't break Marcel's rules." She feared to break Marcel rules, she had seen what had happened to anyone who breaks them.
Klaus listen to what she had told him and the name Marcel brought back so many memories to him, but it couldn't be who he thought. "Marcel's rules? Where do you suppose I might find Marcel?" He asked a little intrigued. Once again Star sighed in frustration, Klaus bit the inside of his mouth to stop him from shouting at her.
The witch had informed Klaus of where he could find Marcel a lot was playing on his mind at the moment that this Marcel could be the little boy that he had saved all those years ago. He recalled the night when Mikael came into New Orleans to hunt down Klaus and his siblings. That night haunts Klaus till this day that he had to leave his home, and everyone he care behind, because of his father, and the most important person of all Marcel he looked at him like a son. With hearing that name once again it stirred a lot of emotions for Klaus, what didn't help right now was Star I don't care attitude he knew it was only to get under his skin and it was working.
While Star thought this attempt to spend the day with Klaus was boring and a waste of time, she knew that he was trying to get her turn her humanity on and she wasn't going to let him win at that game. Star felt that there wasn't any good enough reason to have her humanity turned on, there wasn't anything in her life that she was worth for her to do that. She enjoyed the fact after thousand years she didn't have to care about anything, or anyone. That she could be the person who she always wanted to be, and it amused her a great deal that the big bad hybrid was trying so hard to bring out some emotion from her. In her eyes it was a game, and Klaus wasn't going to win.
They both walked down the street of New Orleans Star kept on giving inappropriate comment to Klaus, talking about the time when she had feeling for him, and how if she could turn back time she would slap the past self in the face. Hearing this hurt Klaus more than he showed, he laughed it off and gave her a cocky remark, he played the part of the heartless hybrid who's feeling couldn't be hurt very well. They both finally arrived at the bar that the witch had informed them that Marcel would be in, all that ran through Klaus mind is the fact that me may see Marcel the boy who grew into a man that he hadn't seen in 100 years. They both walked in and Klaus couldn't believe his eyes when he witness that Marcel is performing karaoke on stage, he felt joy seeing him that Mikael hadn't done anything to him that he was still alive. That his 'son' had taken control of New Orleans he had taught him well and right now Klaus was proud of him.
"Oh Marcel….you looking yummier than ever" Star purred with a grin on her face, she hadn't seen Marcel since she last came to New Orleans a few decades back.
Klaus turned to Star and watched as she kept looking at Marcel, he felt penetrated anger build up inside him, but quickly reminded himself to keep his cool. "How do you know him?" Klaus tried to keep his voice calm as he spoke though his teeth.
Star turned to him looking amused, she knew that Klaus would hate the thought of her being with someone that wasn't him, so she would use that to her advantage. "We have history." She smirked at him and turned back to watch Marcel she began to recall there last encounter with him.
Marcel finished singing. "Thank you." Marcel jumps down from the stage to applause and joins a few companions, who hand him a drink.
Marcel's friend patted him on the back "You killed it, man." He spoke proudly to him
Marcel tensed up sensing Klaus, Marcel pauses before looking over at him. Marcel's companions notice the sudden tension in the room. "Klaus." He hadn't seen Klaus since the day they fled New Orleans.
Klaus looked at the young man that he had brought up as his own he felt a mix of emotion. "Marcel."
Marcel couldn't believe after all of this time Klaus had turned up all of a sudden, he hadn't heard a thing from him all this time and now he is here. "Must be a hundred years since that nasty business with your papa." Marcel couldn't help but smirk as with Klaus leaving town he took control and built and empire.
Klaus recalled the night when Mikael came and the bloodshed of that terrible night that forced him and his sibling had to leave so they couldn't be caught. "Has it been that long?"
Star was a little stunned still from the fact that Marcel and Klaus knew each other, but quite frankly she didn't care. "Hello, Marcel…" She smiles flirtatiously at him knowing that he had always had a soft spot for her.
Marcel looked at her stunned seeing Star after all this time, the last time she was in town Marcel had been trying to convince her to go on a date with him and knocked him down cold. "Star…" He didn't notice her before; he looked between Klaus and Star.
Klaus looked at Star and watched her looking at Marcel like she would eat him up, he reminded himself to keep calm. "I take it you both know each other." He spoke in a pleasant tone to hide his anger that he was feeling right now.
Star turned to Klaus she could see the jealously written all over his face, even though he was trying to hide it she knew him well enough to know different. "I told you we have history together, don't we, Marcel?" She turned back to Marcel.
Marcel smiles for a moment at Star before Klaus and he start to approach one another slowly "The way I recall it, he ran you outta town. Left a trail of dead vampires in his wake." It was carnage when the Originals left New Orleans, Mikael wasn't merciful in his search in find his children, he slaughter any vampire that crossed his path.
Klaus had enough of people remarks today of how he had failed at lot of things. "And yet how fortunate you managed to survive. My father, I'm afraid, I recently incinerated to dust." Klaus aggressive tone alerts Marcel's companions to stand and ready themselves for a confrontation. It turns out there are much more than just a few of them, as half the restaurant gets on its feet.
Marcel knew too well how Klaus was when he lost his temper, and didn't want to rile him up with bring up more about that fatal night. "Well, if I'd known you were coming back in town, if I had a heads-up—" He watched as Klaus expression began to turn into anger.
Klaus stood there looking at the man that he had taught everything to threatening him, Klaus wasn't going to stand for that. "What, Marcel? What would you have done?" Klaus and Marcel are nose to nose, the tension thicken in the room. Star stood a few feet away amused that a fight was going to break out between them both, she hoped that her husband would get a good beating, it would be the least he deserved as bounding and gagging her.
Marcel pauses before answering. "I'd have thrown you a damn parade." Marcel's face breaks into a wide grin and he laughs, which Klaus returns and they embrace like long-lost brothers Marcel draws back and places his hands on either side of Klaus' neck "Niklaus Mikaelson. My mentor, my saviour, my sire. Let's get you a drink"
Star rolls her eyes; bored with the male bonding, she hoped for more of an aggressive interaction as Marcel never really spoke fondly about Klaus towards her. "I'm going to play pool. Would you like to play with me?" Star looked over at Marcel. "Maybe you can teach me how to play." She smiles at Marcel while ignoring jealous Klaus.
Marcel notice that this wasn't the same girl he once knew, there was something totally different about her it wasn't just her forward attitude. "There something a little different about you." He observed her she looked the same to him, beautiful like always, but there was a kind of edge to her.
Klaus didn't like the way Star was looking at Marcel, he thought he better lay down a boundary that she was off limits. "My wife here turned into a right b*tch—" He turned to Marcel "—humanity switch is off." Klaus teased, he knew it would get Star back up, but he was only speaking the truth Star had turned into that.
Star resented Klaus comment he was only speaking of her like that due to her playing him, and now his poor feeling were hurt. "And my husband here will always will be a dick. But you, Marcel you are nothing like him." She approached him and lets her fingers walk up his chest.
Marcel realise that Star was the woman that Klaus had spoken to him about all them years ago, the woman that died and left him heart broken. He looked over at Klaus. "This is Star? The one you thought was dead?" Klaus nodded, as Marcel looked back Star taken back with the news that he had just learnt. "Well I'm flattered, but your husband helped me become the man I'm today, I don't take kindly to those who insult him." He removed her hand from him but at the same time he couldn't help but admire her she looked better than ever.
Klaus was impressed with Marcel that he had rejected Star seduction tactic, and showing her where his true loyalties laid that was with him. "Yes apparently she wasn't." Even after all this Klaus still felt hurt by that one action of hers. "She having a few issue right now, but in time she get over them. Won't you love?"
Star glared at Klaus she didn't have any issue in her eyes, this who she was and people need to accept that, she wasn't going to turn her humanity on for on one. "Nik made you who you are? I bet that you know how to treat a lady. And you will never bound or gag her putting her in the trunk of your car." Star brought up the fact of how Klaus basically kidnapped her brought her here against her will, to show his prodigy that he wasn't the great man as he spoke of.
Klaus found it a little amusing that Star appeared to play the hurt card with him bounding her in his car. "I wouldn't have to go to such extreme measure sweetheart, if you would just turn your humanity on." He caressed her cheeked while Star held a harden expression knowing that this day was only going to get worst with his torment. Marcel couldn't stop looking at Star she had become a vampire, he wondered what had happened to her to turn off her humanity. He find out eventually, but right now he needed to know why Klaus had turned up like this.
Star backed away from Klaus she didn't want him touching her; she knew he was trying to stir up an emotion in her and it would never happen. "Never. I love the way that I am now, Nik."
Klaus knew that his tactic were working slightly on her, given more time that pesky emotion of hate will rise to the surface. "You'll cave in sooner, or later." He looked at her amused that he was winning at this game.
Star smiles and moved closer to him leaning into his ear. "You would love that, wouldn't you? You just love if I would go back to being sweet weak Star right?" Star steps back looks directly into his eyes. "So you can manipulate me, and make me do what you want, right, Nik? Because that is all that you have ever wanted to do you is control me." Star was letting Klaus is get the better of her and that didn't sit right with her, so she was going to teach him a lesson. "You, Stefan and Damon have all wanted that. Hmm...Maybe I show you what happens when you try to control me." Star super speeds over to the bartender and sank her teeth into the poor girl neck.
Marcel react quickly and rips Star off the bartender Christi neck, he grabbed her forcefully looking unimpressed with her actions. "Whatever material issue you are both having, don't attack my people in my town." He spoke with anger and glance over at Klaus to see if he was going to attack him for manhandling Star.
Klaus was slight stunned by Star actions. "Marcel teach her lesson, why don't you break her neck I need some peace and quiet." He spoke amused, but deep down he didn't want anyone to hurt his Star but she was driving him to this behaviour. He watched as there appear to be a little hurt in Star eyes after that particular comment, maybe he had final played the part of that he didn't care anymore about her wellbeing.
After the incident with Star, Marcel feed the sweet barmaid Christi his blood to heal her and compelled her to forget what happen, he had a little thing for her. She had caught his eye from the moment that she came into town two months ago. She was beautiful in his eyes here long dark hair and those hypnotic brown eyes. Klaus and Star had gone into a private room while Marcel dealt with the poor bartender there was tension in the room between both of them. Star actual started to believe that Klaus meant what he said, now she knew it would be hard to rile him up. But her mind kept ticking away to think of something else to get her hybrid husband angry. as in her eyes this was the only enjoyment she would get today, as she didn't have a clue why they were even here. They heard Marcel chuckles as he joins the two of them at a small private table, though they are accompanied by a few of Marcel's companions. Marcel pours drinks for the three of them.
"It is good to see you both." Marcel looked between the both of them Klaus smiled while Star appeared to be a little bored.
Klaus was just as happy to see Marcel after all of this time. "It's good to be home. Although please tell me the current state of Bourbon Street is not your doing." Marcel chuckles at Klaus comment.
Marcel was proud of what he had achieved here, things were better than ever. "Something's gotta draw in the out-of-towners, otherwise we'd all go hungry"
Klaus peers at one of the guys flanking the doorway of the room. "I see your friends are day-walkers." He was intrigued with the fact that Marcel had shared the secret of daylight ring.
Marcel look over at the guy that Klaus was looking at. "Yeah, yeah, I shared the secret of your daylight ring with a few buddies. Just the inner circle, though- the family." That how he saw them as his family all of them were loyal to him and he respected them for that.
Star rolled her eyes to the bromance happening in front of her, but she was intrigued to know how Marcel had gotten a witch to do so many daylight rings. It's a known fact the witches hate vampires. "Marcel sweetie, how did you find a witch willing to make daylight rings?" She smiled at him sweetly while fluttering her lashes
Marcel looked at her and knew that she was trying to seduce him, but he knew that she was doing that to get a reaction from Klaus, and right now he didn't want to be involved in their dispute. "I got the witches around here wrapped around my finger"
Klaus chuckles at the comment of having witches wrapped around his finger. "Is that so? I'm looking for a witch by the name of Jane-Anne Deveraux. Has some business with me"
Star ears perked up hearing that name, she had met Jane-Anne on a couple of occasion, but wanted to know why Klaus had business with her. She knew that she couldn't ask him out right so she chose a different route. "Oh is she you next victim you going to compel to your bed?" She smiled at him sweetly and watched as the amusement left his face.
Marcel was a little surprised to hear that Klaus had businesses with Jane-Anne he makes eye contact with one of his cohorts. "You're looking for Jane-Anne? You probably oughta come with me." He stands and laughs. "Ha-ha, ShowTime!"
They left the bar and began to walk down street Klaus was curious with what Marcel had planned here. While Star wanted to know still why Klaus and Jane-Anne had 'business' she couldn't understand it, as she knew that Jane-Anne would never associate with someone like her hybrid husband. A crowd of people begins to form; vampires walk along rooftops and jump on cars, setting off alarms. A large group follows Marcel, Klaus and Star.
Marcel turned to Klaus and smiled. "Oh how's your family?" He only wanted to know about one family member and that was Rebekah he still missed her till this day.
Star began to chuckle as she knew most of the family were daggered and stuff into a casket. "Those who live hate him more than ever, kind of like me." She turned to her estranged husband and blew him a kiss, he glared at her.
Marcel wanted to break the tension he couldn't deal with another Klaus and Star moment. "Ah, forget 'em. If your blood relations let you down, you make your own, eh? You taught me that. And what's mine is yours, as always. Even my nightwalkers, the riff-raff." Marcel indicates the vampires walking along and jumping from the rooftop, and then grabs a branch off a tree they pass.
Klaus tried to ignore Star comment, and looked around at the vampire that appeared from every corner "They're hardly subtle, are they?" He looked back over at Marcel
"It's the Quarter. Ain't no such thing as subtle, baby." Marcel whistles with his fingers and the crowd cheers. One vampire brings forward Jane-Anne, whose wrists are bound with rope in front of her "Jane-Anne Deveraux! Give it up for Jane-Anne! Come on, let's hear it! Jane-Anne Deveraux, you have been accused of the practice of witchcraft beyond the bounds of the rules set forth, and enforced, by me. How do you plead?" He turns abruptly and walks over to Klaus. "Was that convincing? I studied law back in the '50s. Hold that thought." He returns to Jane-Anne. "Seriously Jane, tick-tock. You know the drill. How do you plead?"
Jane-Anne stood there she knew this moment was coming, but she wasn't going to give Marcel the satisfaction, she knew bringing Klaus back to New Orleans will lead to her death. So she didn't fear what was about to happen to her. "I didn't do anything." The crowd laughs quietly.
Marcel looked at her for a moment he knew that she was lying as he had valuable source that told him otherwise. "Mm, that's a lie. You know it, I know it, and you hate that I know it. It drives you witches crazy that I'm aware of your every move. That you can't do magic in this town without getting caught. So, why don't we just cut to the chase, huh? You tell me what magic you're brewing. I mean, tell me. I'll grant you leniency. Hey, I am, after all, a merciful man." Klaus, Star and the crowd observe in utter silence. Jane-Anne scoffs, a disgusted look on her face.
Jane-Anne knew that any moment Marcel was going to make an example of her, so she knew not to hold back. "Rot in hell, monster." She growl at Marcel, shocked murmuring rumbles through the crowd. Marcel smiles.
Marcel felt a little rage run through him when he heard those words pass her lips, but kept his cool "I'll tell you what. I'll give you one more chance..." Marcel starts to walk away. Suddenly, he swings the branch he's been holding so fast that it slices open Jane-Anne neck. She immediately begins to gag "Or not." Jane-Anne falls to the ground and the crowd cheers.
Star watched in amusements "Would it be wrong for me to say that was a real turn on." Marcel looked at her and smiled she glanced at Klaus who didn't even notice what she had said, as he was staring at the dead body on the ground.
Klaus stares at her body, looking displeased at the fact Marcel had killed Jane-Anne before he could find out what she was plotting, he was furious he approaches Marcel and grabs his shoulder to turn him round. "What was that?" He demanded.
Marcel was a little taken back by Klaus anger. "Hey. Come walk with me. The witches aren't allowed to do magic here- she broke the rules." Which was the truth Marcel knew ever witches move in the quarter and it was all down to one secret weapon he had and that was a very powerful witch Davina.
Klaus felt like he was going to explode any moment with Star constant comments, and now this it was driving him to the edge. "I told you I wanted to talk to her." He spoke through his teeth.
Star found it amusing that Klaus was going to explode any moment thought to add some more fuel to the fire. "Oh Klausy don't thrown your toys out of the pram." She mocked him while he clenched his jaw.
Marcel need to keep Klaus under control he had seen him lose his temper on many occasion, and with Star teasing he could tell he was about to blow. "Hey, I'm sorry. I got caught up in the show. Those witches, they think that they still have power in this town. I have to show them that they don't. I never waste an opportunity for a show of force, another lesson that I learned from you. And besides, anything that you could've gotten outta her, I can find out for you, and I will. I promise." Marcel hoped that he had convinced him that he would help, even though part of him wanted to know what Jane-Anne had cooked up for Klaus.
Klaus considers him for a few moments "Well, whatever it was, doesn't matter anymore, does it?" He smiles, and Marcel smiles back.
Marcel was a little surprised by Klaus response. "Good, good. Then let's eat, 'cause all that spilled blood makes me hungry, ha-ha!" Marcel walks off happy that Klaus not that angry at him. but he knew how Klaus mind worked that he wouldn't give up till he knew why Jane-Anne wanted with him.
Klaus hangs back to confront one of Marcel's men walking by, stopping him with a hand on the man's chest. "Hey, Thierry, isn't it? Any more Deveraux witches where she came from?" Klaus needed to know if there may have been another Deveraux who may of knew what Jane-Anne had against him.
Sophie was chopping vegetables at the restaurant; she was upset to the news of the death of her sister, when she spoke to Jane-Anne earlier she knew that it would come to her death due to spell she performed. Even though Sophie watched her sister walk into her own death part of thought it wouldn't happen, she wiped away her tears and turned around and is startled to see Klaus standing there. "You're Klaus." She knew he was coming and she sense he was the hybrid, she looked at the woman standing next to him and was taken back. "Star?" Sophie was a little stunned to see her with Klaus, they had met a few years back use to party sometimes.
Star literally got dragged to come here due to the blinding spell that Klaus had place on her, she knew of the restaurant that he was going to and wondered what the hell the Deveraux sister had done to rile up Klaus. "Hey witchy, you still have the same bad dress sense." Star smiled smugly at her.
Klaus looked between Star and the other Deveraux it appears that Star knew quite a few people here in New Orleans to his surprise. "I am. And you're upset. Sophie, isn't it? I assume this is because of what I just witnessed with your sister on the corner of Royal and St. Ann?"
Sophie looked between the both of them she sense that the both of them were there to witness the death of her sister. "Did you enjoy the show?" She spoke a little bitterly.
Klaus for a moment felt a little remorse for the girl, but then he reminded himself that Jane-Anne something that would fear him. "It was a little melodramatic for my tastes. What did your sister want with me? Why did Marcel kill her?"
Star picked up a strawberry from a bowl and began to eat it. "Good question. I mean Jane-Anne was always so righteous and Miss Goody two shoes."
Sophie knew that Star was very different this time, she was about to opens her mouth to speak, but then notices a few men arriving at the bar that worked for Marcel. "I see you brought friends."
Klaus turns and looks at the men, then back to Sophie. "They're not with me." Klaus hadn't seen them before and didn't know why she thought they were with him.
Sophie notice that Klaus really didn't know him, but that didn't matter if they saw her talking to him she would be next. She had to find the right time to let him in on what they had on him. "They're with Marcel. That's all that matters. I know you built this town, but this is his town now. He killed my sister because she broke the rules. So I talk to you in front of them, I'm next." Sophie turns and leaves.
"I never liked her much." Star spoke a little disinterested while eating another strawberry, all she wanted to do right now was get the hell out of this miserable town, and as far from her dick husband and go and have some fun.
Klaus looked at Star for a moment then he approaches the men at the bar and sinks his grip into their shoulders. "Are you two gentlemen following me?"
"Marcel said we're your guides." One of the men spoke, he knew he had to be careful with Klaus he had heard the stories about him.
Klaus wasn't happy to hear that Marcel had his men watching his every move. "Oh, he did, did he? He did. Well then, let me be exceedingly clear about something: if either of you follow me again, you'll do so without the benefit of a spine." He tightens his grip until the bartender approaches them.
Cami was working behind the bar and notice that she had customer waiting. This wasn't what she wanted to do, but she came to New Orleans to find out what actually happened to her twin brother. She didn't believe that he went all postal and kill all those people for no reason, the only reason she is here is to find out the truth. She approached the 3 men. "Sorry for the wait. If you're here for the gumbo, I'm about to break your heart. We just ran out."
Klaus releases the men and places a 100-dollar bill on the bar. "Your oldest Scotch for my two friends here, love."
Star approached the bar and saw Klaus with the men she overheard him ordering there drinks "Make that three sweet pea." Star smiled at Cami and Klaus gave her stern look. Cami takes the bill, smiles, and walks away.
Klaus resumes his hold on the men "If Marcel wants to know what I'm up to, he can ask me himself." Klaus lets go of them roughly. "Unfortunately you can't have your drink." He grabs hold of Star arm and dragged her out of the restaurant.
Star was furious with the way he manhandle her, she got out of his grip. "What the hell your problem?" She glared at him as she had enough of him and his behaviour.
Right now Klaus didn't want to deal with Star and her tantrum, he wanted to know what the hell Marcel was playing at by having him followed. "Star I'm in no mood for you right now." He kept his voice calm before turning to walk away from her, but Star incepted him.
Star knew that Klaus didn't like her behaviour, and it made her happy knowing that she was pushing all the right button today. She this anger right now wasn't anything to do with her but to do with him wanting to speak to Jane-Anne. "What is your problem, Nik? Why did you grab me like that?" She demanded to him.
Klaus had really had enough with her right now, he looked at her wide eyed. "Because you're behaving like a whore, that's why!" He raised his voice to her then realised what he had just called her.
Star laughed at the fact it was her that had really gotten to him now. "Awww... you're jealous. It's so cute, Niky." She pinches his cheeks to emphasize her point. "You are so adorable that I could eat you up." She teased him.
Klaus removes her hand from him. "Everything a joke to you, everything not a joke Star. You know what I realise by spending a few hours with you, is the fact you're going to very lonely person. With that attitude you have no one will ever want to be close to you, and that includes me." He walked away from her before he went into a fit of rage with her.
Star knew that maybe right now she might have over stepped the mark with him, she knew Klaus had a temper she had witness it and wouldn't surprise her if he turned on her. "Nik, come on. Lighten up, and some have fun. You don't have to be so serious all of the time." She wanted to calm him a little she didn't care that she upset him, she was concerned with the fact that he might rip her heart out the fact they were link she couldn't exactly go anywhere.
Klaus stopped in his tracks and turn to her. "Look, I've got far more important matter than you Star. You can stay there if you want, but eventually you have to follow." He continued to walk away as Star hissed and followed him unwillingly. Klaus and Star walks down a street in silent neither of them spoke a word after their confrontation, Star thought that Klaus was being far too dramatic. Whereas Klaus had really had enough of her all together today, he thought that he could handle it, if it was anyone else he could, but this was Star the woman who he idolise he loved it was a lot harder. Klaus turns down an alleyway that leads to a covered courtyard, where people are drinking, dancing and generally having a good time. Klaus spots one of Marcel's men wearing the Original family's daylight ring and approaches him aggressively. "Where is Marcel?" Klaus demand to the man he had penetrated anger in him right now that he need to realest
Diego was taken back at this guy who was threating him right now "And who the hell is asking?"
Star stood there watching Klaus threating some innocent, and she found it kind of hot. "I assume you're joking?" Star thought if she got in Klaus good graces he might not lose it with her.
Diego looked at the woman he didn't have a clue who the hell she was either. "I only answer to Marcel." He states firmly then a smirk appeared on her face.
Klaus had enough by now with everyone answering to Marcel. "Well then, in that case perhaps you'll answer to this." Klaus seizes the man by the neck and his eyes vamp-out; his voice rises until he is shouting. "You're aware the bite of a werewolf can kill a vampire? Well, as you can see, I'm half werewolf, so I'm gonna ask you one more time: where is Marcel!?"
Star looked at her husband and thought he looked rather sexy when he lost his temper. "Sweetie I would tell him if I was you, he has a nasty bite"
Marcel hears the confrontation and looked over and sees Klaus holding Diego by the throat he raises his voice from behind Klaus and he hurries over to break up the confrontation. "He-hey, I'm right here, I'm right here, e-e-easy now. Diego's just looking out for me. Nobody harms my guys- those are the rules"
Klaus glared at Marcel he didn't care about his stupid rules, he wanted answered and didn't like the fact that Marcel was having people following him. "I don't care about your rules, Marcel, and I don't need chaperones. Why are you having me followed?"
Star looked at both men she knew that this might get out of hand. "Why don't you just tell him why?" She spoke sweetly to Marcel, in that moment she seems like the Star that they both knew the one who didn't like confrontation.
Marcel looked at Star then back at Klaus he lead the away from the others and they both followed him. "Come here. I get it- a show of force. You've made your point. Let it go friend, ah? For me"
Klaus was surprised by the change in attitude by Star, but he wasn't going to fall for it, he heard Marcel pled and thought to hear him out. "Fine. Why don't you show me what you've done with the place, while you explain exactly what it is you've been up to in my town?"
Marcel pauses only for a moment before smiling his wide grin. "Follow me." He leads Klaus and Star up a flight of stairs and they emerge onto a gallery overlooking the street. "Look at that skyline, huh? That there, that's progress. More hotels, more tourists, more fresh blood. And the humans? I taught them to look the other way"
Klaus wanted to know how he kept the witches under control, in all his years he had never known anyone to be able to have that kind of control. "And what of the witches? In my time, they were a force to be reckoned with, and now they live in fear. How do you know when they're using magic?"
Marcel found it amusing that Klaus had no clue of how he control the witches, and he could never find out about Davina, he knew Klaus would use her to his advantage. "Maybe I got a secret weapon, an ace up my sleeve. Something that gives me complete control over all the magic in this town"
Star appeared to be a little intrigued with Marcel speech of how he had this secret weapon. "Hm. Is that a fact?" She looked at him with her arms crossed.
Marcel couldn't help but smile at her even with her, even with humanity off there was still that kind of sweetness to her. "Might be. Maybe I'm just bluffing." Marcel puts a vervain leaf in his mouth that sizzles slightly.
Klaus notice and was taken back. "You take vervain?" He spoke a little stunned.
Marcel knew one thing that an Original could compel vampires, so he was prepared for the day that he might bump into one, and the fact if anyone used it against him it wouldn't affect him. "Burns like a bitch, but I figure I should limit the number of things I'm vulnerable to. Don't be mad about that chaperone thing. I've told my guys to look out for you, that's all. That's what we do here- look out for each other." Marcel spots Christi walking down the street below. "Mm, m-m-mm. New blood"
Klaus recognizes her from earlier at the bar, the young lady that Star attacked. "Bartender, walking alone at night. She's either brave or dumb"
Marcel had been attract to her since the day she turned up in town, and right now he saw it as he opportunity to finally talk to her. "Let's see: brave, I let her live; dumb, she's dessert" Marcel hops the gallery's wrought-iron railing down onto the sidewalk below.
Star sighed in boredom she just wanted to get the hell out of New Orleans, she was in one city that she didn't want to be in right now, she had too many ties here, too much history. "I'm bored Nik"
Klaus ignored Star's moaning as he felt a presence from behind him. "Evening, Elijah." Greets his brother without turning right away.
Elijah had made his way to New Orleans after hearing about what the witches had been conspiring he couldn't' let his brother go through this alone, not matter what had happened in the past to Elijah family was above all. Niklaus was his brother and he would never turn his back on him. Elijah had heard what the witches want with his brother, and more than ever he needed to be by his side through this. "Niklaus…" Elijah eye adverted to a woman with long dark hair he couldn't believe his eyes. "Star?" He spoke her name slowly, as the last time he saw her was 520 years ago dead in Klaus's arms.
Star looked at Elijah he looked a lot much better these days rather than in 1490's he looked a little scrummy. "The noble Elijah, don't you look delicious." She spoke cheekily.
Elijah was a little taken back by the fact that his sister in-law had appeared from the dead, and the fact that her and Niklaus had reunited. Elijah instantly notice something different about her, she certainly wasn't human. "What are you?"
Klaus didn't like the way Star was behaving right now towards his brother, he wasn't going to stand for it. "What an entirely unwelcome surprise." He spoke a little bitterly before pointing at Star. "My beloved is now a vampire, with no humanity. All those years ago Star faked her own death and—" He looked at Star frowning while she glared directly at him. "How old are you now?" He asked her cheekily.
Star smiled sweetly trying to hide the fact that Klaus bring up her past of how much she hurt him by faking her death, she was grateful that she run all those years ago. If she had stuck around she would have killed herself of boredom. "You should never ask a lady her age."
Klaus began to chuckle. "Lady?" He looked back at Elijah and see that his clearly disturbed by the behaviour between the once very in love couple. "I assure you brother, she been around a lot longer then we have been."
Elijah looked between the both of them there appeared to be hostility between them, but he could see the same look in their eyes like they had back in 1490's "And what an entirely unsurprising welcome. I need you both to come with me."
Klaus wasn't going to go anywhere not until he knew what the witch had planned against him, so whatever Elijah wanted to show him was unimportant to him. "I'm not going anywhere. Not till I find out who's conspiring against me."
Elijah knew what they had planned, he had a very interesting conversation with Sophie Deveraux which shocked Elijah to the core. "I believe I just found that out for you."
Star looked at the both of them walking away from her, instantly knew she had to go with them much to her displeasure. "Great, this is going to be fun." She rolled her eyes as she followed.
All three of them left and made their way to Lafayette Cemetery, Elijah had told the witches that he would bring Niklaus here for him to hear them out. Klaus couldn't understand how his brother had possibly found out so quickly what the witches had been up to. Another thing that ran through his mind was the fact that he felt that he had failed trying to bring Star humanity back. Star was bored she didn't give a damn about why the witches wanted to plot against Klaus, all she was thinking about was how many people she planning on killing with Klaus being number one on her hit list.
Star was frustrated she had enough being the lap dog following behind as they entered the cemetery. "What are we doing here?" She spoke in an annoyed tone.
Elijah looked at Star he was growing a little tiresome with her behaviour, but kept his composure. "You wanna know what the witches have in store for your husband?" Star face looked at him in disgust with the mere mention husband he chuckled lightly and continued to walk. "Follow me." They enter one of the mausoleums.
Klaus walked in and to see three witches then he notice Sophie the young lady he tried to talk to earlier. "Sophie Deveraux. What is this?" He demanded as his patient was wearing very thin.
Elijah wanted them to tell Klaus what was going on, and he wasn't too sure how his brother will take to the news. "He's all yours. Proceed"
Sophie felt nervous she didn't feel prepared for any of this, but she had to do this in memory of her sister, she looked to Klaus. "You know you're famous in this town? Witches tell bedtime stories about the powerful vampire Klaus." She watched as Klaus began to smile, while Star sighed to the comment. Sophie had notice a big change in Star, it wasn't the fact that now she a vampire but something else. "We know Marcel was nothing but an orphan street rat, until you made him what he is. And now he's out of control. He does what he wants, he kills who he wants. I'm gonna stop him, and you're gonna help me." She watched as Klaus smiles, amused.
Star had well and truly had enough now, was Sophie brought here to boost Klaus big ego even further. "This is why you brought us here to give Nik an even larger head than he already has?"
Elijah wanted to laugh at her comment, but he had to remain serious as what about to be reviled would change everything. Not just for Klaus, but for the whole family even Star. "Hear her out."
Klaus liked the fact the witch's fear him, but he didn't care about their issue with Marcel he didn't come here to start conflict with him. "I don't need to hear her out. I assure you, love, there is not a thing on this earth that will matter enough for me to waste even thirty more seconds of my time." He turned to his brother with annoyance as he couldn't believe that Elijah was falling for this witch observed suggestion. "Elijah, what madness is this?"
Hayley enters the mausoleum with a few others, she had been held captive for few days now, at first she felt fear what they were going to do to her, but then when they told her the reason they had her here she was left speechless. "Klaus. You need to listen to them."
Klaus laughs as soon as he sees them bring Hayley in, the girl he had a one night stand with and regretted still to this very day. "You're all out of your minds if you think some liquor-fueled, one-night stand - no offense, sweetheart - means a thing to me."
Star looked at Hayley for a moment she had one emotion come to the surface and that was anger, images of her walking in on her husband and her ran through her mind. She kept her composure as she would not allow that pesky emotion be the better of her. "Oh the slut here…."
Sophie looked at Star for a moment she notices that Star appeared to be jealous of Hayley, unknown to her that Klaus and Star once had a great love to one another. "Marcel may be able to keep up from practicing real magic in this town, but as keepers of the balance we still know when nature has cooked up something new. For example, I have a special gift... of sensing when a girl is pregnant"
All amusement leaves Star face as those worse passed Sophie lips. "What?"
Hayley looked at Klaus she needed him to know that this was all true, that this wasn't some kind of trick she had their child growing inside her. "I know it's impossible—"
Klaus couldn't believe what was happening right now, it couldn't be what he was thinking. "What are you saying?"
Elijah could see that both Klaus and Star were stunned with the news, he could see something a little different in Star right now. All that cockiness she had gone, she stood there with glistening eyes looking at the young girl who was carrying his brother child. "Niklaus... the girl is carrying your child."
Klaus automatically looked at Star she stood there utterly speechless, he wished for a moment that she could read her mind. He couldn't believe any of this there was no way he could have made Hayley with child, he looked at Sophie. "No. It's impossible. Vampires cannot procreate." He couldn't be the father to what Hayley was carrying he refuses to think that.
Sophie needed to convince Klaus that this child is truly his. "But werewolves can. Magic made you a vampire, but you were born a werewolf. You're the Original hybrid, the first of your kind, and this pregnancy is one of nature's loopholes"
Star fights for control over her emotions with learning that these witch's and the wolf were trying to trick her husband. She turns to Hayley and shouts at her. "You've been with someone else, admit it!"
Hayley looked furious at Star, but then she could sympathies with her that she and Klaus had been or are married, and this had to be a shock to her. Even though she felt that she wasn't having Star talk to her like that. "Hey, I've spent days held captive in a freaking alligator Bayou, because they think that I'm carrying some magical miracle baby. Don't you think I would've fessed up if it wasn't Klaus?"
Sophie needed to break up the tension in here, and she needs to lay out the ground rules to all of this. "My sister gave her life to perform the spell she needed to confirm this pregnancy. Because of Jane-Anne's sacrifice, the lives of this girl and her baby are now controlled by us." By their surprised expressions, this is news to Elijah and Hayley. "If you don't help us take down Marcel, so help me, Hayley won't live long enough to see her first maternity dress."
Star looked over at her husband who stood there not saying a word right now, a flood of emotion ran through her, without her even knowing hearing the news of another woman carrying his child her humanity came back. The one thing that she wanted more in this world was to have a child and with Klaus. Star felt her heart break into tiny piece hearing this news, right now she felt hatred toward Hayley because she was giving Klaus the one thing she could never.
Hayley was stunned to hear that her life had been threatened. "Wait, what?"
Elijah wasn't going to have the mother of his brother child be part of some pawn in a war with the witch's and Marcel. "Enough of this. If you want Marcel dead, he's dead. I'll do it myself"
Sophie didn't want them to take down Marcel yet, as there was a plan to follow. "No. We can't, not yet. We have a clear plan that we need to follow, and there are rules"
Klaus looked over at his wife and saw that she hadn't moved or said a word about any of this, he couldn't deal with any of this. He didn't want a child with a one night stand he wanted a child with the woman he loved more than anything, and that was Star. He turns slowly to face Sophie, his anger barely restrained and his voice frighteningly quiet. "How dare you command me..." Klaus was shouting now. "Threaten me, with what you wrongfully perceive to be my weaknesses. I won't hear any more lies." He moves to leave.
Elijah need his brother to believe that this was happening. "Niklaus. Listen." Klaus turns toward Hayley, from whose abdomen he can hear a rapid heartbeat. Klaus listens in wonderment for a few long moments, meets Hayley's eyes, and then closes himself off once more. He turns back to Elijah but his eye adverted to Star who stood there stunned for a moment, before she rushed off with her super speed as she couldn't be in that room no longer. Elijah knew that this would affect Star and once thing it had proven to him that even what he had witness between his brother and her that they both loved each other deeply still. "I think you need to attend to your wife brother."
Klaus who didn't hesitate to leave as soon as his brother reminded him what she had witness, rushed after knowing she couldn't get too far. In his mind he didn't expect any of this to ever happen and he certainly didn't expect Star to react in the way she did. "Star…" He intercepted her instantly knew that she was upset by this news.
As soon as Star left them all she broke down crying with hearing the news, she couldn't believe any of it that was until she heard the tiny heart beat herself.
Star heartache was like an insatiable fire that burnt all the oxygen in her body leaving her listless and empty. But now it is more like a thin layer of ice, cooling her insides, a gentle reminder of the pain that came before and a warning not to stoke that fire again. They say once bitten, twice shy, but for Star it's more like forever shy. She couldn't see herself putting her heart out there again, she didn't think it can survive another inferno. Star hears Klaus calling her name, and she quickly wipes away her tears. "What?" Her voice was indifferent voice she tried to keep up the charade of her humanity being turn off.
Klaus was concerned as he looked at her tear stained face. "You've been crying." He spoke with surprise in his voice as he didn't expect to see that from her, not after everything that had happened between them. "Love, I didn't know that could happen." All Klaus has ever wanted was a child with Star, but knew that could ever happen, knowing that he was a vampire he had no idea that with him being a werewolf and Hayley being one that allow this could happen.
Star couldn't show him that this had affected her, she smiles at him. "I haven't been crying, and I don't care that you are going to be a father, Nik." All complete lies came from Star, but Star couldn't deal with any of this. As much love she had for Klaus she couldn't stand by his side while another woman carried his child, knowing that she could never give him the same.
Klaus knew there was something different about Star, he wanted her to know that even though he had heard this that he was going to be a father he wanted something else a lot more. "I don't want anything to do with it." He steps towards her caressing her cheek. "All I've ever wanted was that with you—" He became emotional because he was speaking the truth, right now Klaus was speaking from the heart. "—I know your humanity off Star, but I can't do this anymore. I can't keep pretending that it don't hurt that you loath me." Klaus eyes began to glaze over.
Star looked into her husband eyes and could see so many emotions, and it killed her see him like this. She wanted to tell him that she didn't loath him, that as they promised over 500 years ago they would love each other always and forever. "What do you want from me?"
Klaus needed to know once and for all what Star wanted from him, he couldn't continue a life like this. "I want you to look me in the eyes, and tell me I don't mean anything to you, that this who you are now—" Paused for a moment as he couldn't believe what he was going to say. "—and I will walk away and never bother you again."
Star wanted to tell him what she felt in her heart, but that would be selfish of her, Klaus had the opportunity to become a father and she didn't want to take that from him. "You have the one thing that you've always wanted, a child of your own, and that something that I can't give to you. You need to accept that is who I am now, and I'm not going to change. You need to accept it and let me go"
Klaus listen to every word then nods his head, he wanted to make something clear to her that this child was not as important to him as she was. "A child I hardly know, and don't even want isn't going to replace you, I want you to know that." He took a step back from her, and mumbled Amor noster et solve. "I don't think I'll ever be able to accept that my Star gone." He advert his eyes from her he couldn't believe that he had to let her go that this was the end.
What Star was about to tell him was going to break her even more than she was already, but she knew it was for the best thing for the both of them. "You have to—" She looked into his eyes knowing that it will be the last time. "You mean nothing to me. Our marriage was a lie and I'm finally free from the chains of the last 500 years." She looked away her heart felt like it shattered in a million piece as she spoke all those lies to him.
Klaus listen to every word that Star spoke it cut into him like a knife. "Thank you for making that clear to me." He kisses her gently on the cheek restraining himself from crying as this was their finally farewell. "You're free to go, I hope you find the happiness you deserve one day."
Star forces herself not to cry. Outside she is strong but inside she is screaming from behind the stone walls of her heart that were crumbling slowly. Klaus took one final look at the woman he loved and he knew he had to let her go. Then he super sped off leaving her behind alone, she breaks down knowing that she had let the one man who stole her heart 520 years ago walk out of her life.
