Klaus stepped in to the abandoned warehouse, with a silent Eliza and Stefan behind him. Finally, after his angered speech, he'd managed to quieten them both from asking questions. He was no longer in the right mood to answer questions about a touchy subject - some he couldn't even answer himself. Both of them were beginning to annoy him. Although, it wasn't really Eliza that was annoying him, it was just the fact that she couldn't remember him that did. The mystery of why she'd forgotten him was still unanswered, and Klaus was desperate to find out. But he had no clue where to begin his search for the answer.
" Why are we here?" Eliza asked, her voice even more softer and angelic. Her mind was very confused, and she was beginning to realise that she had blank memories. Now that she thought about it hard, she couldn't think specifically of what she did do during the 1920's. All she did remember was being with Stefan, and Will trying to seduce her. Other than that, everything else had disappeared. It was starnge that she hadn't realised it sooner.
" Again with the questions." Klaus groaned in annoyance, yet his voice didn't sound angry.
" It's your own fault for never telling us anything." Eliza fired back, crossing her arms over her chest defiantely. Klaus smirked slightly. Only ever did Eliza become more confident, and less vulnerable when someone pissed her off. He'd obviously been the one to have done it, and oddly it was nice to see the spark of fire in her personality. It was something he'd never seen in the twenties.
" The posession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery." Klaus said in a posher tone than usual. " Ah, I've always loved that quote. You should bare that in mind before asking any more questions, love."
" You never did answer the question." Eliza ignored completely Klaus' new quote, and asked yet another question. Klaus had to stop himself from laughing at her new found confidence. It was obvious to him now that she was somehow using the fact that he would never hurt her, against him. It was smart, something he'd never expect from Eliza. Whether she was doing it absent-mindedly or on purpose, he didn't know.
" My sister Rebekah has been living in here since the twenties, and I need her for the spell." Klaus replied, leading them all towards a large coffin that sat in the middle of two others, in a discrete part of the building. As he opened up the lid, Eliza gasped in shock and partly horror. Klaus' sister Rebekah lay unmoving, her skin still a translucent gray and her veins still showing on her skin. Her eyes were tightly closed and she wore a very pretty outfit that Eliza could tell was definately from the twenties.
" You killed her. Your own sister." Her confidence had died, and fear had overcome her slightly. The fact that he had killed his own sister scared her. Surely he must have loved his sister, and this showed how Klaus was willing to kill anyone, even his own family.
" It was dangerous at the time, and she was being disloyal to me. So yes I killed her for a temporary time. I was only meant to awaken her and the rest of my family once it was safe for them all, so we could all live together in peace." Klaus explained, an edge of sadness to his tone of voice.
" You monster." Eliza growled slightly, feeling horrified by the fact that he'd killed his own family. " I can't believe I ever loved you, if it is in fact, true." Anger flared in Klaus' eyes, and he flashed over directly in front of Eliza, standing closer than he should've been. She didn't take a step backwards, and just glared at him. After clenching his hands into fists to calm himself, he took a step back.
" Stefan go outside for a moment. Me and Eliza will be out in a second." Stefan looked reluctant, but Eliza gave him a swift nod, indicating she would be alright. After pulling the dagger out of Rebekah, Klaus turned back to Eliza, studying her for a moment.
" You never use to be this confident. You were always so shy, even around me sometimes. I didn't think you'd changed at all, love. But my, my you have." A small smile creeped up onto Klaus' lips, but Elizas expression stayed firm and emotionless.
" Why don't I have any memories of my time with you? Why can't I remember anything?" Eliza questioned, her voice not giving away her emotions at all.
" Again with the questions." Klaus groaned again.
" I want answers Klaus! I've just been told that I was in love with someone 90 years ago! And then they left, I died and I forgot about them completely! Forigve me, for wanting some sort of explanation!" Her voice raised this time, and Klaus could see a hint of anger in her eyes, but it was mostly confusion. He could tell what he had revealed to her, was bothering her.
" Well I'm sorry to disappoint you, love. But I don't know either." He growled this time, not willing to hide his annoyance any longer.
" Why did you even leave in the first place? Why not stay with Stefan if you two were such best friends?" Elizas voice was still raised as she asked more questions. Klaus stayed silent for a few minutes, and neither of them spoke. " Why did you leave if you loved me?" She had now calmed down more; her tone was softer, she seemed more sympathetic and willing to listen.
" Because I was heartbroken! Ok!? I had no idea what had happened to you after we were split apart, I had no idea whether someone had killed you or whether it was an accident!" Klaus shouted, throwing his arms in the air, and pacing around, not willing to look her in the eye. He;d never properly admitted this to anyone else but himself. Nobody knew that Klaus was and is in love with someone. They all believe he's a heartless hybrid.
" That night those people didn't actually kill anybody. Stefan told me they had been firing wooden bullets and had been after vampires... were they coming for you?" Eliza asked, putting two and two together in her head. Klaus had run away even though he claimed to love her, and he'd killed his own sister for 'safety', so there must have been something putting them both in danger.
" Yes they were." Klaus replied with a sigh. Not wanting to explain to Eliza about Micheal. The less she knew about him the better. He couldn't have Micheal coming after her aswell.
" That's why you left. That's why you killed your family..." Eliza said, mostly speaking to herself. " But who could be strong enough to even kill you and your family?" More and more questions were beginning to arise, and Eliza found it slightly ironic how Klaus' quote had actually been true.
" That is enough. I'm done answering questions." Klaus' voice was firm and slightly agreesive, and Eliza could immediately tell that this was a touchy subject. However, this didn't stop her.
" If you want me to believe you then why won't you tell me anything!?" She asked, stepping up closer towards him defiantely. He stared at her for a moment, not knowing whether to smile or frown at her. Either way he wouldn't hurt her. But he knew she would have never had the confidence to do this in the twenties.
" The less you know the better Eliza! You can't know about the vampire who is after me otherwise he will kill you! Do you understand that term!? I thought you were dead once and it is not happening again!" Klaus turned fully away from Eliza after he had spoken, his body slightly shaking from the anger building up inside him.
" I can look after myself. I don't need you. Your a monster Klaus and whatever game you're trying to play with me has to stop!" She refused to believe any of this was true. If she had loved him, she would remember - this wasn't something she could forget so easily. He was probably playing some sick, twisted game so he could laugh in her face once she discovered it wasn't true. Maybe he would kill her... Klaus' teeth clenched as she spoke, and again he gripped his locket in his hands. Just before he was about to speak, however, Eliza disappeaered, then reappeared in the grasp of his sister Rebekah, who had a revengeful expression. During all of the commotion, neither of them had noticed Rebekah wake up.
" Well well well. The happy couple are still together. So Eliza wasn't dead after all Nik? So you killed your own sister for nothing! Revenge is definately sweet." Rebekah said with a smirk, as Eliza struggled against her firm grip. Klaus stood there shocked for meerely half a second, but it only took that half a second for Rebekah to sink her teeth into Elizas neck hungrily. While Eliza screamed, Klaus spranng over to her side, ripping Rebekah away from her and snapping her neck. Instantly, he bit into his wrist feeding Eliza his blood.
" That's Rebekah. You too use to be friends, although you were complete opposites." Klaus told her emotionlessly, compelling one of the guards who had come to check what was happening to let Rebekah feed on him and tell her to come to Glorias bar.
" She seems lovely." Eliza said sarcastically, gasping for breath. Everything had happened so suddenly, that even with her heightened vampire senses it had taken her by suprise. Not wanting to wait for Rebekah, she followed Klaus out of the warehouse back to where Stefan was.
~ 1920's~
" So this is the girl I've heard so much about. It is Eliza right? Eliza Petrova." A beautiful tall blonde stepped up to Eliza with a glass of wine in her hands. Already, Eliza could tell, she seemed confident and quite narcissistic. Klaus had told her little about his sister, also known as Rebekah. One thing that he had mentioned though was that she'd bonded a lot with Stefan over the 2 weeks they had been coming to the bar.
" Yes. You're Rebekah,Rebekah Mikaelson. Klaus' sister." Elizas voice sounded weak compared to hers, and Rebekah smirked at her.
" Good. You've heard of me." She responded, handing Eliza a drink from the bar they were both sitting at. " Klaus has gushed about you. I'm suprised we didn't meet earlier. I'm eager to get to know the girl my brother is obsessed with." A small blush crept onto Elizas cheeks as she heard this. Her and Klaus had only known each other for a couple of weeks.
" There's not really much to know. But I've also been told that you've caught the eye of Stefan Salvatore." Rebekah didn't blush like Eliza had, but it was obvious that she was slightly embarassed by the look in her eye.
" Tell me more about yourself Eliza. You seem like the sort of person I'd like to be friends with."
It didn't take long for the two girls to bond. They told each other more about themselves, talked a little about Stefan and Klaus, they even shared a little of their past, however that seemed a touchy subject for Rebekah. Somehow, despite not knowing each other at first, they managed to talk for atleast half an hour. After talking for thirty minutes, Klaus came over with his signature smirk planted upon his face. Wrapping an arm lightly around Eliza, he smiled at his sister.
" I see you two have met." Klaus commented, keeping Eliza close towards him. Over the short period of time that they had known each other, they had grown to like each other a lot. Every night they were meeting up now, and never did they become bored of each other. They were truly meant to be.
" Wow brother, you've finally managed to pick one of the good ones." Rebekah said, smiling kindly at Eliza. From first impression, you think think that Rebekah is just another narcissistic, flirtly, and slightly malicious girl, but once you got to know her a little more she was actually quite kind, and behind all of the confidence there was a sweet innocent girl.
" And you have a great sister Klaus. I think I may like her better than you." Eliza teased, making Klaus chuckle.
" Impossible, you've only known her for half an hour. I am so much more fun." He replied with a wink, and for the rest of the night, Klaus, Eliza and Rebekah talked and laughed. Stefan joined them too after a while, and he easily joined into the conversation they were having. It truly was a great night out. One that Klaus would never forget...
