Chapter 20.
Sorry for the long wait! I've been super busy. Anyway enjoy chapter 20! Let me know what ya think!
Kol grunts as Klaus' hand seizes his neck.
"Give up, you're no match for me." He says as the defined veins began to seep up under Klaus' eyes.
Under him Kol is Struggling. He begins to push Klaus' face in but he shrugs him off, continuing to choke him. "Let it go Kol. Just leave the boy be."
"I'll let it go when you grow some and kill that thing yourself."
He hits Klaus with a right hook and vamp speeds to get back up on his feet.
"What is it with you adopting kids that you don't know. Possessing children as if they were some sort of collection. First Marcellus now him." Kol narrows his eyes.
Klaus' veins come back and his eyes began to glow. He clenches his fist and follows Kol with his eyes.
Kol chuckles and slowly circles around Klaus. "How foolish of you to believe you could all live together. You, Hope,Marcel and Ezra in Harmony, dear old dad and his children." Kol spits out.
"How foolish of you to challenge me at all? If I didn't know any better I'd think you were just jealous. It's pathetic really. So transparent and the same old Kol. Where's a decent dagger when you need one?" Klaus smiles.
"Same old Nik. Same old dagger threats."
"Oh That isn't a threat," he smile flattens, "it's a promise."
"I could make it easy. I swear, He'll feel no pain."
"Oh but you will if you go anywhere near him. I swear it."
"What happened? One moment you hated him and the next you don't. Hmmmm," Kol clasp his hands together, and furrows his brows, "did somebody have a little chat about their childhood? Guess the whole bastard thing hits home huh?"
Klaus laughs,"What? Jealous you have no one to discuss anything with, to relate too. Someone so feeble and peevish, annoying, petty…. Shall I go on?"
Kol cuts him off with a soft chuckle and looks around. The fight had moved them far away from the trailer.
"Change of plans need to go near your son at all Nik, my job here is done."
"What?"
"Hear any heartbeats, anything?Cami, Marcel, Ezra?"
"Elijah." Klaus mutters under his breath.
"The boy is as good as dead once Elijah has him-"
Klaus reaches out and snaps Kol's neck.
He runs back up to the trailer to find an unconscious Marcel.
"What happened?" Klaus shakes him until he answers.
"Elijah. He was here."
"I know, Kol led me away whilst Elijah took the child." He gives Marcel a hand so he can stand.
"And Cami."
"What?"
"He took Cami."
"Elijah would never hurt her." Klaus quickly shakes his head.
"He wouldn't, but it doesn't mean he wouldn't use her for leverage. You'd have to call his bluff."
"I need to end this, all of it."
"Agreed."
"Marcel you need to get Hayley, remove the blade and meet me at the church, both of you."
He nods and is gone is a flash.
Klaus continues to search the woods.
"Elijah I know you're here! Show yourself!"
"Brother."Elijah comes quickly from around a corner.
"Elijah what did you-"
"Nothing…...yet."
"Elijah if you."
"If I what?" He comes closer but stands his ground.
Klaus tries a different approach."Elijah, this isn't you. It never was. Your noble and kind. I was always the monster, do not become me."
He looks down and back up to Klaus."Family above all Niklaus or have you forgotten that. I Will become whatever I must in order to protect this family. Someone has too."
"He is family."
Elijah can't help but laugh.
"Every lone orphan you find in distress on the street is not our family. He is no Mikaelson. See, this is why I am here, to do whatever means necessary. You have a clouded judgement, blinders on when it comes to adolescents, any sob story about a rough childhood and your guards come crashing down."
"He's just a child Elijah."
"As is your daughter and she's in distress, or have you forgotten that? Whatever I have to do. Whomever I have to erase from this very earth I will do so without a second thought."
"Listen to me."
"My patience is short and so is the time. It's simple. Kill Ezra and Hope may live. That is all the information I need."
"I'm sorry, I can't let that happen. We have a plan." Klaus takes a fighting stance.
Elijah comes closer ."If I have to hold you down with one arm and make you watch me tear his heart and head from his body. So be it."
Klaus charges and Elijah pushes him, making him go crashing through the trees.
….
Marcel plunges his hand deep inside of Hayley to carefully remove the blade.
She gasp and chokes as she awakens.
"Elijah." She says.
"No. Look I know you're upset with your boyfriend but we have to go."
"Hope?"
"Still m.i.a, look we have to meet Klaus at the church. Can you walk?"
She nods.
…...
Klaus and Elijah continue to fight.
He's got Klaus on the ground, with five pieces of wood holding him strategically into place.
He screams as he tries to pull each piece out. When he almost gets one out, Elijah come over, jamming it even further into place then he speeds off.
He shouts even louder so he can hear him.
"Elijah if you do this, I'll never forgive you ." He screams.
"Forever is a long time brother." He shouts back.
Elijah jams his hands into Ezra's chest, carefully placing his hand around his beating heart. His other hand firmly grips the back of his head.
"Goodbye child.'
…...
Before they can reach the church. Hayley drops, clenching her chest.
"Ahhhh." She exclaims.
"Hayley! What's wrong?" Marcel asked.
"My chest, it's killing me. Uggghhh."
"I removed the blade, you should be fine."
"Something's wrong." she falls to the floor.
…
Klaus' phone rings. It takes everything he has in him to grab it. He standing with one piece of wood stuck in his thigh.
"Marcel, did you find Hayley?" He asked as he takes out the last piece of wood. He grimaces.
"Yes but something's wrong. She's in agonizing pain."
"Put her on. Now."
"Klaus. … I can't….move….it feels like my heart….. is… being.. ripped ….from. . My chest."
Klaus looks at the phone and runs to quickly find Elijah.
"Stop! Elijah, you're killing Hayley!" He shouts.
Elijah confused, he hand is still wrapped around Ezra's heart.
"They're linked. If you kill him, you kill her."
