She smiled taking a step forward. "Miss me?"
"How? I thought-"
"You didn't honestly think I'd let myself get killed, did you?" She had a bottle of alcohol in her hand. "Figured you could use something to drink, heard you and that boy fighting."
I took the bottle and drank. "Guys like him are exactly why I do not believe in true love."
"Yet you fell for him." She stated taking a drink as we sat on the floor outside the church.
"Shame on me for letting my walls down, never again."
My sister laughed. "That is what you said the last time."
"Yes but that was when I was human, being a vampire made me more stubborn."
"It also enhanced how fast you care not to mention your jealousy issues."
"Uh, I do not have jealousy issues!"
"You're kidding right? You got jealous at this Kol guy for being with another girl, when technically you guys were never really together, at least that's what I gather from what you've told me."
"Figures the dedicated slut would think that." I gulped another drink.
Katherine smirked. "Says the dedicated bitch." I couldn't help but laugh, i've really missed her.
"What made you come to me now?"
"I've been keeping an eye on Stefan who is here, when I heard screaming. That's when I saw you and a very attractive man- I have to say little sis I approve of your taste, that Kol is soo-"
"I get it he is like drop dead hot no need to remind me."
She gave me a dull stare before continuing. "Anyways I knew that look on your face, I saw it when Elijah told us Klaus' plan."
"My look of betrayal yes it's one I've been giving a lot lately."
"Not that, you were heartbroken."
"I was not-" I stopped knowing she wouldn't buy a word I said. "Fine. I cared for both of them and now here I am reliving my heartbreak except this time it hurts a hell of a lot more." I chugged the rest of the bottle then threw it against a tree.
"You could just switch it off you know."
"How?" She seemed indecisive. "I'm tired of feeling bad all the time, I'd rather feel nothing it's easier."
"Than turn it off."
"What off?"
"Your humanity." Thinking about turning everything off reminded me of the look in Johnathan's eyes when his disgusting body was on top of me, the mere thought gives me unpleasant shivers.
"I think I'll stick to drinking away my pain one bottle at a time. Thanks though."
"It's not that bad-" She was cut off as a twig snapped. We both immediately stood on our feet, eyes darting around the trees looking for any sign of movement. I narrowed my gaze seeing a pair of dark blue eyes.
"Katherine run!" I shouted but it was to late Klaus had her with a stake over her chest. I took a step forward.
"Not a wise move love. You are a lot easier to track down than Katerina ,considering you were with my brother."
"Kol's his brother!" My sister shouted and I gave her an apologetic look. "Nice going sis."
"It's not my fault! Okay well technically-"
"Enough, all this talk is boring me." Klaus interrupted annoyed.
"What do you want Niklaus?" I asked not daring to meet his eyes.
"I need you to do me a favor." He pointed toward me.
"Like hell I'd help you!" Klaus deepened the stake breaking skin. Katherine screamed out in pain. "Fine, just stop!" He stuck it deeper. "I said I'd help! Stop!"
Klaus laughed pulling the stake out. "That's a good girl. Now I need you to take this." He handed me a dagger. "And stick it in my little brothers heart."
"What?" My voice was quiet.
"I want you to dagger my brother." Klaus still held Katherine throwing the dagger in my direction. "It's dipped in the ashes of a white oak tree, you stick that in his heart he'll temporally be dead."
I slowly grabbed the dagger."What do you mean temporally?"
"Once the dagger is removed he will come back, but as long as it's in his heart he'll stay dead." He made it seem like killing his brother was no big deal.
"Why do you want him dead?"
"He's a lunatic and I don't know how long he will go without causing more trouble for me."
"You're scared of him?" I smirked.
"I fear no one." He growled clearly getting fed up. "You will do as your told love."
I'm getting so sick of the word love, I am just really starting to loath that word. "Fine. But if I do this you can not harm me or my sister once it's done."
"You have my word."
"One more question, why me? I mean why have me kill him, why don't you just do it?"
Klaus' smirk returned. "Because you doing it will bring more pain than I could ever do." My mind was saying I could just dagger Klaus and get Katherine. "Oh and in case you get any ideas the dagger wont work on me, you know me being a hybrid and all."
"Like you just read my mind." I mumbled holding the dagger.
"Once you've dagger Kol bring me his body and I'll give you your sister, do we have a deal?" I nodded in agreement before heading off to find Kol. God how do I even know he's still here! Why would he be! I checked all the local bars, usual drunk hideouts and Kol was nowhere.
However I did spot a familiar red head. I made my way toward her greeted by a tight hug.
"I need your help." She seemed interested motioning me to go on. "I came here with this guy named Kol-"
"Please don't tell me he's Finn's brother." Sage groaned when I nodded. "That ignorant little bastard always tried to get between me and Finn."
"Seems like something he'd do. Any-who I need your help to find him."
She drank a beer. "Why would I want to find him?"
"Just help me locate him that's all you have to do. Please" I begged which is not something I like to do. " You should know I do not say please often."
Sage sighed. "Alright." Me and Sage separated continuing to search for the original who was not easy to find.
We met up at another bar neither of us having any luck. That's when I heard his unmistakable accent.
I turned seeing his shaggy brown hair with a cup of alcohol in his hand. "Thanks Sage, I got it from here."
"No problem. I still wont a rematch." I smirked at her as she left.
I went to the stool beside Kol grabbing the bottle he held that replaced the cup. "Come on Kol that's enough."
"Who are you my father?" Booze covered his normally appealing breath.
"No but you are in my town." I smirked trying to lighten the mood. I grabbed his arm and wrapped it around my neck carrying his drunk body back to the house. "God you're a mess. Where's your brother?"
He laughed laying on the bed. "a hot mess." He corrected, "Elijah left not long after you."
I was going to apologize when he planted his chapped lips against mine. This kiss was different than before more desperate and rougher. I felt myself kissing him back falling on top of him. Kol was to distracted to notice me beginning to reach for the dagger I had tied behind my back. Something must have given me away because the next thing I know Kol is pinning me against the wall his hand tightly around my throat his eyes darting at the dagger in my hand.
"My brother give you that?" Betrayal crossed his face. "This whole time you've been in chutes with Niklaus!"
"No! I...I jus-" His grip tightened as he threw me on the other side of the room.
"Enough, I do not wish to hear your lies!" He roared.
Quickly I rushed to pick up the dagger only for him to appear in front of me. "Please don't test me."
"But sweetheart it's what I'm good at." I smirked getting around him grabbing the dagger aiming it at him.
He laughed hallowly. "I should have known you were just another whore, what were you screwing Klaus the whole time? Wouldn't surprise me, Love"
How can he think so low of me to have slept with his brother? Just another whore? I replayed his words until I felt nothing. No anger, sadness, no emotion. Most importantly no more pain. A smile crept on my face causing him to watch me curiously.
" I am really starting to hate that word."
"Whore? Yeah I bet you get that a lot." He smirked watching as I moved the dagger.
"No that ones fine. But love just boils my blood." Kol charged at me but I moved only angrier him as he hit the wall breaking it. If I kept angering him he wouldn't be focused.
This time when he charged I stuck the dagger right at his heart. "You're not worth any more of my time, and you're not worth my life." His grip loosened as his body went stiff. I carried Kols lifeless body back to the church dropping him at Klaus feet who smiled in response.
"Must say I did have my doubts."
"Just give me my sister." I demanded not scared of him.
Klaus circled me. "Somethings different about you..You turned it off didn't you?"
Katherine stood up her eyes wide. "Soph-"
"I did as you asked." I ignored my sister.
"Indeed you did. As I promised I will not harm you and your sister for now." He smirked.
"You gave me your word!" I yelled ready to strike only for Katerina to hold me back.
"How 'bout this I'll give you a 5 day head start."
"You assh-" Katherine grabbed my arm pulling me back.
"Do not provoke him, lets go." I hissed at Klaus before leaving with Katherine disappearing in the shadows promising I wouldn't return to Mystic Falls.
