(To kristin: In this story Klaus loved Crystal but he did have affairs with Tatia, but when he saw Elijah liked her, he dumped her, which Tatia didn't much care for because she loved Elijah more anyway. Klaus didn't want to be part of a relationship where he's the third wheel.)
(To stacy: The reason he won't let himself love is because when he turned was the worst day of his life, basically. We know that Mikael abused him, then when Henrik died, Esther turned them all into vampires. Niklaus went to go see his friends that same night. He was rejected by everyone but when he went to see Crystal, she was the worst of them all. She tried to stake him and he succeeded in convincing her he wasn't a ghost but when he explained what he actually was, she backed up screaming about him being a monster and never wanting to see him again. Nik ran, being a new born vampire, his emotions were very out of control, not to mention he was part werewolf. So he went hunting, trying to get it off his mind but he ended up killing the person and turning Hybrid, the very first of his kind. We saw how Mikael reacted. The next day, Niklaus had killed many villagers, he was told that Mikael hated him and then Tatia had overheard, Elijah hadn't tried to speak to her, so Elijah ran off to find her, killing her by his own blood lust. Klaus, later that night had finished his cycle, his parents both rejected him. Esther put the curse of the sun and the moon on him and he in the end, killed her. Which made them have to run. That's the story of Niklaus breaking his own heart. In this story. Niklaus is afraid to love because everyone he has ever loved either betrayed him, tried to kill him, or they themselves die. That is why he has his witches. He can do with them what he pleases without worrying about them doing any of those things because he practically raised all of them anyway. He is afraid to love Elena because he needs her blood for his hybrid family and she could easily die because he needs to keep her human. Loving Elena is a complex. He wants to but he is afraid of what loving her might do to him. Sorry if I ruined anything, like the story.)
(To betty: I can promise you that if Klaus didn't seem to actually spend time with her, they would help her escape or at least treat her like trash. Except for Crystal. She knows better.)
(To Carol: Right now, the only thing Klaus wants is for Elena not to hate him so he can use her against everyone else. Klaus is unsure if he wants a love life with her anyway. He is afraid she will betray him and he knows that her friends are after her, which is why he keeps moving. He knows that when they try something, he's going to have to kill them.)
I woke up and saw Elena in the same room, but she'd had to sleep on the floor, I offered MY bed but she declined. I need a bigger house. Well… to tell the truth, I stuffed all my hybrids AND my witches AND my doppelgänger AND me into Stefan's old apartment. I did it for Elena. She'd been tired. MY house was in the heart of Chicago.
Yes, I'd flown us in a jet to get us here and now, I needed to wake Elena. She'd need to find herself a new name, to role play. I walked over to her and she yawned. I helped her to her feet.
"That floor is hard. I thought it might be soft since it was so old."
"Yes, sweetheart, you were tired, you weren't thinking clearly. So, my lovely, guess where we are going?" I smiled as I led helped her over the other sleeping bodies. Even picking her up at points. We finally made it to where we could cook breakfast for the family.
"Mmm. Gloria's?"
"Yes we are. Did I kill her? I can't remember. I can remember she tried to steal from me."
"And stealing from Klaus warrants anyone's death."
"Yes. It does. Here, Kid's Cuisine with chicken nuggets. I'm having the same as is everyone else. I had it set up last night, all I needed to do was cook it."
"To answer your question, yes, you did kill her you jerk. I liked her."
"You like someone who tried to steal something from me?"
"You mean like Katherine?"
"Katerina."
"Katherine."
"Katerina."
"Katherine."
"Katerina."
"Katherine."
"Katherine."
"Katerina."
"HA! So if you could choose any name besides Elena Petrova or Elena Gilbert what would you choose? My name shall be Tony Reece. That's what I'm known as anyway. And since you are to be living with me and the hybrids, and the witches, you need a new name. Consider it role-playing." She glared at me. I quickly fixed my mistake. "For the town, I'm not going to have sex with you because you don't desire it… yet."
"Oh? Do you think I could possibly love you? Who left me with no family and Jeremy in Mystic Falls to be left alone."
"You aren't even-"
"Master." Crystal sang. I sighed.
"Finish your sentence Klaus. Go ahead. I'm waiting."
"What would be your preferred name if you couldn't choose Elena?"
"How about Aurora… Goldie… Martinez?"
"Hmm. Sounds beautiful. Compared to what Rebekah chose oh so long ago. What was it… Cecilia Tranquela. Pretty dumb. Though it might sound melodic to some ears like back in the 20s. Which I have neglected to tell you of. Right now, I'm on a mission to kill the gang that Carlos guy came from. They learned that Tony moved and they plan on hanging him. So I have to appear."
"Wisdom to be wise."
"What?"
"Just because people want to kill you doesn't mean you have to kill them."
"Oh sweetheart, you are absolutely adorable." I kissed her cheek before walking over Crystal. She caressed my cheek. I took her hand in mine and look at her. "You, I need to get everyone up. I'm heading to Gloria's to see if anyone's running it. I accidentally killed Gloria and now I need Gloria's to be open. Pretty dumb and first hand thinking on my part. Feed the girl." I turned and headed out. I heard Elena following me. "What are you doing?"
"Well you said you wanted Tony and Aurora to be together didn't you?"
"Well then, you better keep up, if not, I'll track you down later." I turned and we headed off to the bar.
When we got there, it was open and there were plenty of humans around. I walked up to the bar. "Hey, can I talk to the manager? I have a question. Say 'yes'." The bar tender turned around and headed to the back. I followed him, Elena stayed right behind me. I liked her spirit. She was like Katerina but not. Katerina was plain out right bitchy. Elena was intriguing. Now I only needed to get her to like me and as soon as she does…
I came face to face with a new man. Not from a gang. Might be the mayor's, if they even had one, son. "Yes, do you have a problem with this bar?"
"No, I just wanted to know 'what your name is. I look forward to being you friend'."
"Richard Douglas."
"Ah, the Douglas family. I remember you mates. 'You have no say in who attends and who doesn't attend this bar when it comes to gangs, especially the Cobras'. Thank you for your time. Come along sweetheart." I whispered into her ear. She nodded, following.
When we got out of the building she turned to me. "Can I go to your house now?"
"Well, love, that's exactly where we are going. First I need to get a car." I saw her beginning to judge me. "And I'll return it."
"No." I smirked.
"Fine. We'll do this my way." I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder. I vamped home to find everyone here. I dropped her in my bed. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to check on the hospital. And then, I'm going right back to my lair." I turned to leave.
"Wait! Where is that? How long will it be before I see you again?" I smirked.
"I'd say it would be lunch time, either way I'll be back in time to bring you back to Gloria's bar."
