Hi! I hoped that you guys liked the last chapter. Um just to remind you all again that things are happening differently than in the show. So yeah, um please leave comments!
Laura's POV
Klaus and Elijah kept looking at me, eyes wide open and mouths gaping open and closed. I wanted to laugh at them but I was still too weak and confused on what my father was planning.
"What...did...you say?" Klaus panted, his eyes looking me up and down. Klaus stood up, his injuries all gone and Elijah put a hand on his shoulder.
My dad stood where he was, a smirk on his and looking between the Mikealson brothers.
"Why would you possibly want to offer your daughter to vampires?" Elijah asked. "Because she hold no value for me besides protection and since you are new to town, maybe you would want the same?" He responded, I felt my anger going up and I was too scared to do anything about that.
I stayed quiet, fear if Klaus accepted or didn't. Klaus looked at me, trying to study me while Elijah looked at my father. I knew I had blood covering myself and I looked extremely tired which I definitely was.
"I accept," Klaus said before looking to my dad. My father's smile grew bigger, and he shook Klaus' and then Elijah's hand before turning to me, "You will obey every single demand that the Mikealson's give you, understood?"
I felt myself nodding though I just wanted to hurt them all, "Understood."
I dropped my gaze to the floor and heard footsteps approaching me and then a hand grabbed my chin and pulled my face towards them. My heart pounded faster with the skin contact and I saw Klaus' blue eyes looking into my similar eyes.
"I will see you later for the dance love," and he kissed my cheek which I flinched at the contact. Elijah and Klaus left afterwards, my father having a maddening smile on his face and staring into nothing.
I leaned against the wall, trying to make it support my weight as I became more tired. I used to much magic today, and it drained me especially when not one but two vampires drained me almost completely dry.
"Good job," my father said beginning walk away, "Now clean this up." I sighed and went to the closet to grab the supplies. I felt tears threatening to come down, but I couldn't look weak in front of my dad in case he came down stairs.
I tried to keep my thoughts contained but I couldn't. My dad always orders me to protect others and himself when he always punished me. First him, then his group of "friends", and now the Mikealsons.
I just wanted it to end already, just one slice across the throat or even asking the Mikealsons to drain herself. But I stopped what I was doing, I remember my mom telling me about the Celestial Court. Only Naturalist; or Purebloods like my father called me, go there if they die protecting nature. Suicide doesn't get me there. I don't want to go to a version of hell if that even exists but everything that I do is against what I was born to do.
I killed Carol Lockwood and many others all in the sake of my father. I wanted to make him suffer the way that he inflicted in me but I couldn't. My mind always screams at me to impale his cold heart with the elements or electrify his body, but my body won't listen to my mind.
All these frustrating thoughts cloud what I'm doing and I slip on the floor. I don't get up, a sob escaping my throat as I hear the door opening and closing signaling that my father probably went to drink more.
I don't get up, just curling up into a ball, tears falling down my cheeks. I vaguely hear myself crying out loud, asking no one why it happened to me, why the pain, and why my father put the curse on me.
I don't know how long I stayed like that, all I remember was a pair of strong arms lifting me up and tucking me into my bed of my old childhood room.
"Come on," Adam pulled harshly onto the little girl's wrist, "HURRY."
The girl was scared, never remembering her father to be this cold hearted. They were entering a old factory building that was evacuated years ago. Adam didn't care to look around the building, he just went straight to the faint glow that was in the center of the room.
"Dad?" the girl asked, "Can- can we please go home? I promise to listen to you, I swear." She was definitely scared and all bruised up. Her clothes were dirty and bloody. Her hair was a mess while Adam's features were more haunted. He had dark rings around his eyes and he hadn't shaved in a long time.
"I know you will obey me," he just replied and moved towards the light. When he got there, a woman approached them. She had dark skin and eyes with a black dress that hugged her curves.
"Good to see you Rosebelle," the lady said, "And you too little one." She said as she saw the beaten girl. Her eyes held no emotion but Laura sensed darkness from her.
She whimpered, trying to get away from her but Adam kept a firm grip on her, "Let's get it done, Eliza."
Eliza nodded and motioned him to go into the circle of flames. He went there and pulled Laura to him. The moon was directly hitting them, making Adam's face look like a demon.
Laura started crying, and the winds started picking up and rain started to drizzle. Adam sighed, taking out a needle and injecting it into his daughter's neck. She screamed in pain, the effects starting as the winds and rain dying down.
Eliza gave Adam a knife and told him to wait for her instructions. Eliza stepped out of the circle, and closed her eyes. She tilted her head back, and started chanting.
Laura left pain on her hand when she noticed that he father made a cut on her hand and did the same to himself. She gasped and weakly struggled as he clamped his bloodied hand against hers.
Her father had lain her down since she couldn't hold herself up and he knelt next to her. She felt something within herself, as if her will was being bound. Eliza continued chanting until Laura felt something within herself snap.
She cried out in pain, trying to get away from her father and this strange woman but he held onto hand. She felt agonizing pangs of prickles against her skin and she tried to squirm away.
Eventually, Eliza stopped chanting, breathing hard, "It's done." Adam let go of his daughter which she curled up into a ball and started crying some more.
He stood up and walked over to Eliza, "Thank you," before he smashed the knife into her chest, killing her. He felt that the spell completed with the witch's death and turned around.
"Stand up," he ordered. She immediately did so, "Stop crying." And she did. He grinned like a mad man and said, "Burn this factory once we leave, follow me." She did so, bringing a lightning storm that struck the factory down.
Laura could hear her dad's magical laughter over the thunder.
I gasped awake, sweat and blood clinging to me like a second skin.
I looked around, realizing that I was in my old room. I tried remember how I got here but I could come up with was a person who obviously not my father carried me up here. My father would have just kicked me until I was awake. I noticed a note by on my old dresser and took it.
Laura,
I cannot express my worries for your health so if you have any troubles, come to my place.
~Klaus
I starred at it, shock running throughout my body. No one has ever been concerned for myself, it was as if I was dreaming but the note was very much real. I didn't want my father seeing this so I burned it in my hand, watching the flames destroy the one once of kindness that i have received wishing years.
Tears rolled down my cheek, a new sensation overcoming my body and I laughed shakily. I didn't know whether or not to go for fear of my father's wrath.
Instead I climbed downstairs to see the dining room and kitchen all cleaned up. On the table, I saw another note.
You're welcome
~Klaus
And it even had his number and Elijah's. I put it into my phone, realizing that the other number was my father's. That's depressing, but I decided to take a shower.
I didn't have friends, with my father being the most powerful influence in this town and him watching my every move. I put on sweatpants and a long sleeve loose shirt. Even with no one around, I didn't like my skin showing.
I had nothing to do, except for homework which I quickly done. After I finished, I saw that it was 11 and my father wasn't home yet. I went out the backdoor and went to the stream.
I hummed a tune and I saw animals and Kim making their way to me. I usually spent my time with animals more than the kids at my school, and that was sad considering that I was a teenager and all.
Are you okay? I heard Kim, I nodded. I told her what happened and I felt her anger rising. I sometimes forgot that she was an animal, not a human.
I gasped at a new thought, starling the animals. I mumbled a sorry and turned to Kim, "What if I could somehow turn you into a human for a little bit?"
I sensed her confusion, and I felt happiness swell within me. I could finally have a human friend. She hesitantly nodded her snake head and I concentrated on her form.
I closed my eyes, and lifted my hands towards her form,
"naturae Turn serpens in hoc homine. Et cauda olim habebat, nunc habet par crura et arma et in humano corpore. Naturae switch in corpore suo unus est deum"
After I was done, I dropped my hands to my sides and opened my eyes. Before me was a beauty. Kim had tanned skin, with dark eyes and dark wavy hair. She seemed shaky on her feet which I immediately went to her side, trying to steady her.
But she was naked. She seemed disoriented and I averted my eyes, mumbling a spell to give her clothes. She grunted, not used to having a body. I was shocked, I didn't know that this could happen. I sat her down on a rock, and stood in front of her.
"Are you okay?" I asked her. She nodded hesitantly, "I- I think so. Why?"
I sat down next to her, I honestly didn't know but I did know.I just wanted someone who understood me, someone who can talk to me, a friend.
"I was lonely," I turned to her, "I'm sorry about this." I focused my gaze towards the ground, I felt tears coming down my face. Everything gets messed up because of me. First my mom, then Carol, and now my best friend.
I felt her arms wrap around my body, and pulled me into a hug. I let out a sob and hugged her back, burying my face into her hair. She just held me for what seemed like hours and she just whispered that everything will be okay. I wanted to believe her but how could I when my father was my worst nightmare.
She pulled me back to look into my eyes, "Laura, you need to be strong. Okay? Keep fighting cause I know that you will find goodness in your life."
I looked to her and nodded, "How did I ever deserve you?" She chuckled, and pulled me into a hug while rubbing my back.
I felt better, letting it all out. It was as if a huge weight was lifted but there was still damage done. "So when is the dance?" I heard her ask. I mumbled a tomorrow to her, and she nodded.
"Not to be rude, but are you gonna change me back or let me stay a human?" she asked me, with a small smile. I smiled back at her, but then I frowned a little. I didn't want her as a snake yet. Yes, I did like her as her normal shape, but it seems that I just gotten a new friend. I haven't had a genuine friend since forever.
"Do you mind being a human?" I asked her as hope seemed to swell within me. I was really hoping for some normalcy in my life, granted she was a snake but still.
She laughed and nodded, "Well duh. Now I don't have to slither on my belly all the time besides, you're my friend as well. Well only friend and we both need each other."
"Yay!" I smiled, a huge genuine smile too. I didn't have happiness and smiles lately and I was liking the change.
"So where will I stay?" Kim asked, I stopped short. I couldn't have her stay in my house, my father wouldn't even allow it and possibly make me kill her. Then a thought came to my mind but I wasn't sure if she would be safe there.
"Do you mind staying with the Mikealsons?" I asked her timidly, I didn't want to seem as though I was casting her aside, it was for her own safety against my father.
She nodded, and I grabbed her hand, and transported us to the Mikaelson mansion. It was still in construction but it was better than nothing.
"God, I hate to be rude but I've always hated transporting like that," Kim said. She was still a little wobbly on her feet but I managed to have a firm hold on her. We walked to the door, and I rang the doorbell. A maid answered the door, "Yes?"
I looked to her, seeing if she would change her mind. She kept looking at me, "It's fine."
I looked to the lady and said, "Hi. I am Laura Rosebelle, I believe that Klaus Mikealson would be expecting me anytime soon."
The maid said to come in and wait in the entrance. We waited in the entrance as she asked, until Klaus and Elijah both came in. Klaus eyed my appearance which I didn't realize that I was still in my pajamas. I squirmed under his gaze but I kept my face free of emotions.
"Well hello Miss Bellerose," Elijah came to me, "I want to let you know that I am deeply sorry for attacking you earlier. I just want to let you know that I usually have more self control than being a savage beast."
"It's okay, I'm all healed," I told him. "Who's the girl?" Klaus asked, he eyed Kim the same way he did to me and I knew that he was suspecting that she was different.
"This is Kimberly," I told him, taking in a breath, "I came here cause I would like you to shelter her for the moment. I would let her stay at my house but I don't think that she would be safe."
Klaus had that mischievous grin on his face and his blue gaze stared at my own blue eyes, "Why would I do that? It seems that you are meant to do me favors?"
I knew that he would want something in exchange for him protecting Kim, "I would give you anything you want." I stared at him with an emotionless face, but my heart was hammering. I knew of the legends of the infamous Klaus Mikealson. He was no saint or white knight. He was your worst nightmare, evil.
"It seems that your friend is allowed here due to our previous actions, consider this as gift from us to you," Elijah cut it.
Klaus made a clicking noise, "She can stay and be protected however I want more of your blood." I knew that he would ask something like that. I nodded and was about to step forward when Kim grabbed my wrist.
No, don't let him drink your blood. There's hybrid and vampires in this house. They would all attack you. Kim mentally said. I didn't realize that she could still do that since she could verbally talk but I didn't let my surprise show.
Well, my father won't allow you to stay at my house, and they are powerful creatures who could protect you. I looked to her, pleading her to agree. Klaus and his brother both looked at us, I could feel their piercing age on us, trying to figure out what was going on.
Why can't they protect you either? Why don't we just run away? She was completely serious. I shook my head, my eyes beginning to water.
"You know I can't," I whispered to her, her loyalty to me was amazing and I loved her for it but I wanted to protect her as well. I turned to Klaus, moving my hair to the side, "Go on."
He sped in front of me, and looked at me. I knew that my scent was driving the two Originals crazy. Elijah excused himself, after he left, Klaus moved one of his hands to my neck.
He didn't try to strangle me, instead he rubbed his thumb where my jugular vein was. He sniffed my neck, and whispered me to relax. I was still stiff when he started to massage the area.
I sensed Kim behind me, ready to intervene if necessary. Are you sure? I heard her ask me, I was about to reply to her when Klaus sank his fangs into my neck. I gasped at the pain but he didn't bite as hard as before.
I heard him growl in pleasure, my blood giving him a high. He wrapped his arms around my waist and drank greedily.
"Enough," I said when I felt myself losing focus. He didn't listen and tightened his hold. Kim seemed to hiss and moved behind Klaus. It seemed as if he wasn't paying attention to her except when she bite him on the neck.
He let go of me which I fell to the floor, grabbing my bleeding neck. "Laura," she yelled, running to me. I looked up and saw that she had fangs. She retracted them, it seemed as if she had some characteristics as her snake form.
"I'm fine," I lied. He taken too much, and Kim knew that too. "Here," Klaus came with his wrist bitten. I shook my head, I didn't want the impure liquid inside me.
"Water," Kim said, Klaus was looking at her weird and she snapped, "Get her a glass of water!"
He sped away, and came back a moment later. I grabbed the glass and drank it, I already felt it working. I was healed within a few seconds and felt Klaus' gaze on me.
"Amazing," he breathed out. I ignored him and stood up with Kim's help. "Now you got what you want, you help me," I said determinedly. Klaus seemed to snap out whatever lala land he was in a small his famous smirk.
"Of course, I'll show her to her room," he said and walked away, expecting us to follow. He led us down a hallway, and opened a room. Elijah was in there with a bunch of humans organizing a room. It was more elegant than my room in the attic. A fourposter bed with maroon bedsheets and a vanity in the corner. There seemed to be a connecting bathroom and walk-in closet which was empty. I muttered a spell and the closet seemed to fill with some clothes.
"There's some clothes for you, but I don't know what you really like to wear," I told her with a sheepish grin. "It's perfect. Maybe we can go shopping sometime soon?" she said. He dark eyes lit up with excitement but I shook my head.
My father was all I answered to her. She nodded, knowing that my father wouldn't allow me out with friends. I turned to Elijah to thank him and when he screamed out in pain. I gasped, shocked when Klaus stood in front of him, thrusting the dagger in his chest.
"He wasn't much fun," was all he said before he turned to me and Kim, "Now where were we?"
AN: Hi I know that nothing really happened and it was more of a filler chapter but next one will be the dance and Mikeal! So yay! Any questions, comments, concerns, please leave a comment. I love those so much and I appreciate each and everyone of those.
So this is the translation of the spell that Laura used for Kim. I'm terrible with that kind of stuff but if anyone else has a better "spell" and a translation for it, then tell me please! Also the person who is portraying Kim as a human will be Emeraude Toubia. She plays Isabelle Lightwood in the TV show, Shadowhunters. Here's the spell:
"Nature
Turn this snake into a human.
Once she had a tail, now she has a pair of legs and arms and a human body.
Nature, switch her body into one of mine"
