Chapter Seventeen

It was so relaxing when I woke up the next morning with familiar arms around me. The best night I had had in a good while.

"I don't think I've ever seen you quite this chilled." he chuckled into my ear, arms tightening now. I smiled, my eyes closed. "Well it has been a while since we've had a snuggle quite like this, my love."

"I agree, it has." Klaus sighed, then sat up, running a hand through his hair with yet another sigh. I sat up and moved behind him, putting my arms around his waist, my cheek on his back.

"I've missed you so much." I said quietly into it, not wanting to let him go again. Klaus laughed for a second, then raised his hands to mine and pulled them away.

"Up and at them, Sweetie. Big day ahead of us."

"And tonight is gonna be fireworks."

Now he stood up, leaving me to grin at him as he picked up his clothes and pulled them on. "And tonight also, I won't be just a vampire."

I nodded, then smirked. "You're gonna be a hybrid freakoid."

In a flash, I was pinned back onto the bed, arms above my head as he kissed my cheek and said. "That's correct." then he kissed me for a moment and said. "Now. Plan for the day?"

I nodded, pulling him closer onto me where he said. "I am betting that moronic Damon is gonna try something. So..." he lent down and said softly into my ear. "We're gonna have a back up plan."

Now I frowned. "But you already have the vampire and werewolf?"

He tapped my nose now. "Claudia, Sweetie... I have always told you-"

"Have a back up plan?"

"Correct. Now... I'm thinking Damon as the vampire sacrifice. That punishment enough?"

I shook my head with a sigh. "No. I don't want him hurt. He's a troubled guy."

"But he touched you. He slept with you!"

"So? I don't moan when you sleep with other girls."

"They're human. Hunt, prey, kill."

"Well Damon was hunt, prey, screw. Ok? I have no feelings for the guy. Believe me."

Klaus sighed now and nodded. "Fine, whatever. I won't use him then. Guess I'll have to find someone else then..."

I pushed him off now and picked up my own clothes, pulling them on as he stood up and grabbed his own red shirt and put it on, letting me turn and button up for him with a grin.

"You look so sexy when you do that." he told me with a smirk, then pulled open the bedroom door and walking out, going. "Katerina! Coffee times two now if you please."

Now I blushed, totally forgetting she had been in the place the entire time that we... oh, err... that was kinda awkward...

When I went into the kitchen, Katerina looked sour as she handed me a cup of coffee. I smiled too sweetly and asked. "Quiet night (?)"

She smiled sarcastically, then sat down with her arms folded, looking rather sulky.

"Right, trip to the Grill." Klaus now grinned, taking my hand and spinning me around before openining the door, winking at Katerina then left.

-FORSAKEN-

He was being rather childish as he wouldn't let go of my hand, swinging it backwards and forwards with a grin.

"Such a baby." I scoffed, pushing the door open of the Grill and let go off his hand.

We stood at the bar now, him looking around. "Nice little place." he commented, sipping on his drink. I sighed. "Are you here to rile the others?"

"No." his answer was, setting his glass down and standing before me, pushing me a little against the bar as he started to kiss me passionately.

"Let me guess- Klaus?"

He kissed me for a moment more, then sighed and glanced behind him. "It's rude to interupt Salvatore."

Damon hissed now, setting his drink down a little too hard, making Klaus sigh exasperatedly. "Was there something you wanted?"

"The sacrifice isn't going ahead." Damon said, eyes hard, but avoiding me the entire time.

"And why is that?" Klaus inquired, raising an eyebrow and drink to his lips. Damon didn't speak now, making Klaus step forward and say in his face.

"I'm letting you live on her words, Salvatore. If you try anything, I might "accidently" forget."

I sighed now- it was the werewolf side of him getting extreremly territorial over me. Quite frankly, it was only me being there that stopped him tearing Damon limb from limb.

"The sacrifice happens, tonight." Klaus smirked, then took my hand and pulled me away before he no doubt snapped.

Outside, he walked down the alleyway and made frown as he hit the wall hard in frustration, shattering a good deal of it. He swore as he busted his hand, but then it healed up in seconds, the bloodied cuts gone.

"Calm down." I sighed, walking forwards and stopped before him as he put his head against the wall, eyes closed. "Don't touch me." he half snarled as I went to, but then understood- he was having one of his angry possessive moments.

"Come on, be pissy later on. We have things to do." I said firmly, grabbing his arm and pulling away from the shattered wall. Klaus nodded, pulling away and walking on.

Now he really was pissed off.

-FORSAKEN-

I was stood outside the Salvatore place now, Klaus's warning in my head that it wasn't safe. I could die quite easily if a stake got into my heart.

Now I knocked, then it opened, only to see Elenas quiet gasp, then went to slam it, but I pushed it open and she picked up a knife from the side.

"Get out." she snarled, backing off. I sighed, stopping just inside. "Look- I came to talk. That's all."

"Did he send you?"

"Actually, he tried to talk me out of this. But I have my own mind. Klaus lets me."

Elena didn't lower the blade as I walked forwards and past her, then into the living room, sitting down and grabbing a glass and pouring some Bourbon into it.

"Look- I'm sorry for decieving you, I-"

"You should really get out right now."

I stood up, turning around while taking a sip of my drink. "Hey Damon."

He was glaring at me, then went for me, but I grabbed his neck and slammed him to the wall, tilting my head. "Don't be so rude. The 1800s were big on manners. Go back to your roots for once."

I let him go and turned away with a sigh. "Look- you know about Niklaus right?"

"If you mean that he's a half breed freak, yep." Damon retorted, folding his arms with another glare. I nodded. "It's who he is. Would you really let some curse keep who you truly was from you for a thousand years?"

"If I was a freak like him, yeah." Damons answer was, but I knew he was lying. I was good at spotting liars. "Get out." Damon now said, walking right up to me so he was in my face. I sighed, then shook my head, saying quietly. "You're a good guy Damon. I really wish that you didn't fall in love with me like that."

He scoffed now. "Love you? No way in hell."

I noticed him avoiding my eyes, then sighed, turning away and leaving the building.

Klaus had been right. I shouldn't have come...

But the sacrifice...

It happened tonight.

Well, it's the biggy chapter next one:D and it's gonna be extra long and up later today:D x Nicc
