Hello readers. It is time to see how crazy Mikael's children can drive him? Haha. Enjoy!
Chapter 6: What to Buy for the Vampire Who has Nothing
Glaring out the windshield of the car Mikael was looking for a parking place in front of an overcrowded mall. They needed to find Kol some clothing before they found a suitable restaurant. It was only half an hour ago that Kol had climbed out of the passenger side window and attempted to ride on top of the car. That was the last straw. Mikael had made a detour to a hardware store and purchased a chain. With Finn, Rebekah and Klaus' help Mikael had chained Kol's body so that he could not move from his seat.
This did not prevent Kol from speaking. "Father, I'm chilly. Can I have a blanket? Father, I'm thirsty can I have a teenager to drink? Father, I'm bored. Will you tell me a story?"
"Kol, shut up or I will rip out your tongue." Mikael bellowed.
Kol huffed. "Well, you don't have to be rude about it." He turned his attention to Klaus and his girlfriend. "Caroline, my neck hurts. What do you say you give us a little rub?"
Klaus snarled behind his younger brother. "Why don't you rub yourself?"
"Oh, but I do and I think of your girlfriend." Kol grinned, turning his head as much as he could to see Klaus was seething.
"Oh, I got another message from Sage." Finn called. "She's coming to the mansion. She should be there this evening."
"Great." Rebekah said, dryly. "Now, give me my phone back."
"Father, may I find a phone at this mall thing we are going to?" Finn inquired looking at Mikael.
Mikael grunted, glaring at the person who was backing up an inch at a time. He wanted that bloody parking spot. But the damn fool was too slow. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't eat humans he would jump out of the car and make quick work of this annoying driver. Then it dawned on him. "Kol, are you really hungry?"
Kol nodded. "Ravenous, father."
Mikael jerked the chains off his youngest boy. "Go." Kol did not have to be told twice. He leapt from the car and within seconds the parking spot was free and Mikael breathed a sigh of relief.
Kol came over to the side of the car that Rebekah was sitting in. "Gah." She screamed when she turned to see what parts of Kol were at eye level.
"I suppose we can go inside now?" Caroline asked looking from the children to the father.
"Yes, now you can go shopping." Mikael withdrew his wallet and gave Finn a credit card.
"What is this?" Finn took the card and stared at it.
"You use it to buy what you want, like a phone." Caroline explained.
"Oh." Finn said. "They do not accept a fine goat for some fine cloth in this time."
Rebekah and Klaus grinned at each other. "Nope." Klaus answered. "No more goats, Finn. Now, let's see if we can find you something acceptable and maybe get you a haircut."
"What is wrong with my hair?" Finn looked at the others.
Caroline was amused. "Well, you want to look all hot for your girlfriend, right?"
Finn was more and more confused by the minute. "Why would I want to look hot for Sage? Is it a custom to look sweaty and flushed in this time?"
"Kol." Mikael yelled. The others looked out of the car to see Kol jumping around on the cars.
"Okay. Let's go." Klaus ordered and they all got out of the car to gather the wayward Original. Once they convinced Kol that he would have much more fun in the big building than in the parking lot they managed to get in the front door. They were trying to surround Kol on all sides to prevent him from being seen but he saw the escalator and went nuts.
"Kol." They all screamed as he leapt onto the escalator, still naked. He was sitting on one of the stairs giddy with delight.
There were far too many people to compel at once. Klaus reached his brother before the others. Moving faster than people could blink he wrestled the younger Original into a men's clothing shop. "Alright. You need clothes. Now, find something."
Kol sighed and looked around. "I like what he's wearing." He grabbed a man looking at t-shirts and snapped his neck before he began to feed. Klaus rolled his eyes. A salesman was backing into a corner.
Klaus flashed in front of him. Hello there. "I'm Klaus and that young man there feeding on one of your customers is my brother, Kol. He is in desperate need of a new wardrobe and I'm sure you would love to help him find something. Wouldn't you?" Klaus grinned at the salesman and put an arm around his shoulders. "Kol, this gentleman is going to help you. Play nice. I'm going to go find the others."
Kol grinned at the salesman showing bloody fangs and the man fainted. "Well, that's no fun." Watching Klaus walk out of the store Kol began to search through the clothing racks quickly. He didn't like most of the clothes. They looked rather stupid. Finally he grabbed an armful of striped, long sleeve shirts, t-shirts and jeans. Looking around he saw a few belts he fancied.
Taking the time to look around Kol picked up a sack and threw the items inside. When he walked out some sort of buzzer went off but he didn't pay attention until two men approached him
"Sir, can we see your bag?" One of the men said.
"Most certainly not." Kol snapped at him.
"Sir, you need to come with us." The other man said, moving toward Kol.
"I don't think so." Kol said, grinning.
Mikael appeared by his son's side. "I'm sorry gentleman. My son must have forgotten to pay for his purchases. We will return to the store and take care of that."
Rebekah came out of a store and appeared at their sides. "Get the car." Mikael told her. He began to move quickly. "We're going to find Klaus, Caroline and Finn now and then we're leaving. Do not steal anything else."
"I was not stealing the items." Kol replied, frowning.
"Well, you did not pay for them." Mikael growled.
Kol stopped walking. "Well, maybe if someone had given me something to pay for the clothes with I wouldn't have to have taken them."
Mikael stopped, too. It astonished him that Kol had said something sensible or dare he say, mature. Staring at Kol, who looked more depressed than Mikael had ever seen his youngest son before he sighed. "Kol…"
"Oh, look, a game shop, father." Kol went running toward an electronics shop. Kol was staring at a big screen TV. Mikael approached the shop warily as Kol went inside. Kol had found the Xboxes. "Excuse me." Kol waved to one of the sales associates. "I want one of these and anything else that people of this century have that I do not."
Mikael rolled his eyes when the associate looked at him. "Yes, we'll take one of those, an iPod if you have them and any games for someone with my son's mental age."
The associate seemed confused. "How old would that be?"
"Twelve." Mikael told the young man, who hurried off.
Kol was staring at one of the TVs. "I want one of these, too."
"We already have one of those at the mansion." Klaus stated from behind Mikael.
Kol glared at his brother. "But I need one of my own. In my own room. With my Xbox and my iPod."
Klaus' jaw dropped. "You bought him those things?" He was staring at Mikael in shock.
Mikael felt uncomfortable. "The boy needs to entertain himself."
"Where's my bribe?" Rebekah asked, folding her arms over her chest.
Mikael blinked at her. "What bribe?"
"Well, you are obviously trying to bribe my brothers. First Finn with the credit card, now Kol with the electronics. Where is my bribe?"
Mikael smiled at her tentatively. "A father's love and devotion."
Rebekah rolled her eyes. "Whatever." She pulled out her phone and began to text ignoring everyone else.
After Mikael paid for Kol's toys they left the store. Caroline was walking down toward them with Finn next to her. Rebekah smirked at her brother. "You let Caroline dress you, didn't you?"
Finn ran a hand through his newly shorn locks. "Yes."
Caroline placed a hand on her hip. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing." Rebekah said with a smile. "He looks nice."
"Oh." Caroline deflated.
"I'm driving us to the restaurant." Kol called.
"What?" Klaus cried looking at Mikael, who was patting his pockets. Kol was bounding down the escalator five steps at a time. They all followed at a more human pace.
Ten minutes later they found a restaurant which they could all stop arguing about. Getting out of the car Klaus snatched his keys away from Kol and walked in with Caroline on his arm. They were no more than settled before Rebekah said she needed to go to the bathroom. She kept looking around before she gave up and walked into the ladies' room.
"Hello, Bekah." Rebekah's jaw dropped before she embraced the man standing in front of her.
"Elijah. Dear God. It is so awful. Father has gone absolutely insane." Rebekah moaned.
"It is alright, Bekah." Elijah said, stroking his sister's hair. "I am here now and I will take care of this problem. I promise."
