"I know him .. better than you think., Klaus spats out. He said venomously, getting all in Freya face. She didn't backed down,she is the most powerful with in quarter now and Klaus is just being a temperamental little brats. She stares him down, unafraid. The corner Klaus mouth twitch in annoyance. Klaus couldn't help but be impressed by her for a moment.
His would smirks if he wasn't furious. Letting out an aggravated breathes. He continues,
"The moment our eyes met, I just knew. He still adamant about leaving. I could see it in his eyes", Klaus growled aggressively while his eyes flashing yellow. "What is the point of talking after that?" Klaus sneered, gritting his teeth. Ugly feeling festers inside him and Elijah's stubborness doesn't help. Klaus spats the next words with venom, "He wants to leave and I am not letting him go. End of story." Just talking about is.. frustrating.
Freya blinks and exhales shakily tries to manage the anger bubbling inside. Her grips on his wrists. Klaus glares down at his older sister's hand resentfully but did nothing. Why would he? It's not like she could actually hurts him.
So... she wants to talk. Let's talk then.
He is interested. He wants to hear what is her solution to this, annoying problem. She think she's so smart then.. let hear it
"Then, that is his choice..", Freya said at last and she means it. She realize that if Elijah wants to leave, that if he isn't happy here and if he believed that he can achieved happiness somewhere else, who is she to stop him. She realized that Klaus and her decision were selfish and cruel, unfair to Elijah. She was wronged. She shouldn't let this happen. This is not how they would win Elijah over. He would probably end up hating both or them instead.
Klaus looks at her with a betrayed look and his face becomes completely cold. Icy cold. Just as she expected of him. You already know this, she told herself.
Freya looks away. "What else we can do?" She said avoiding Klaus' eyes.
Klaus eyed Freya, he puts every anger into his glare. She should be aware that he resents her and her weakness. Just like that. Easy as that. If Elijah wants to leave, he can leave. Well, Klaus is not her. There is not way he is going to let that happen. Elijah is not leaving now or ever. No way. He will...do whatever it takes. Never again.
Hnh. Klaus huffs loudly. Funny. What else we can do? Klaus repeats mockingly and laughs coldly without feelings. He was met with Freya confused look. A looks that said, you have completely lose your mind. It was downright hilarious. So, he laughs some more.
"I know what I can do". Klaus said threateningly.
He smirked amused at how his sister beautiful soft green eyes widen and she looks at him with such cold eyes when she came to realization of what his words mean.
He stares at Freya. How her eyes is burning with anger. How she is observing him, calculating his every move. A witch down to the core. At this moment she looks too much like Esther.
He had enough. In the end, no one. No one, cared enough for him. Not his mother. Oh, she claims she loved him but did nothing but stood and watch Mikael beat and abuses him.
Not, his real father. Who claim that he loved him but doesn't care enough to fight for him.
Klaus clenched his jaw unconsciously at those thought. Worst of all. The biggest betrayal or is it the biggest disappointment in his life.. Elijah.
Elijah can claimed that he loves him for all he wanted but well, the truth is he can't just wait to leave Klaus behind at every chance, he get.
...and there is his dear older sister. Freya might have help him in the beginning and now look at her, fighting hard for Elijah's freedom. Guessed, he just have to wait a couple more days for her to stabbed him in the back and freed Elijah herself.
Klaus balled his fists, getting really riled up by his thoughts. No matter how hard to swallowed it, Klaus found out there is very little, he could do about it. He jerked his wrist from Freya's grip harshly. She froze and stares at him at him surprised for a moment by his action before her face becomes scornfull.
You know what I mean and if that wasn't clear enough. Let me..-, Klaus paused and stand towering over her, an act of intimidation. -said it again.
"I had stated at the beginning. I will not freed Elijah-," he sneered unattractively." --not under any circumstances." He said pointedly. Freya realised that it means Klaus sees her as a.. threat?
"You can't keep him imprisoned like this, it is crazy and it has been days. Freya protest loudly looking frustrated, eyes searching his face. Klaus don't know what exactly she was searching for..maybe his sanity. Who knows? His conscience, maybe.
..but he knows one thing, he loves to prove people wrong.
"Watch me, dear.. older sister". Klaus sneered with a smug look. Klaus freed his wrist from Freya's hold while she is distracted and walkaway with a cocky strut.
Freya rolls her eyes as Klaus arrogance and glares dagger at Klaus back. He pause mid stride and looks back at her. Freya lifts her brow at him , waiting. He smirks at her, days? For your information, I have keep Elijah imprisoned for decades before. He turned away after his little speech.
Freya raised her hand and make them into a chokehold. Gritting her teeth until her jaw hurts. She is tempted to use her magic to strangle Klaus and make him choked on his own blood. After all she had done it before. She can feel her magic overflowing from her body. It is turbulent and chaotic. Vicious like an angry starving animals. Thirsty for blood. Her magic wraps around Klaus neck loosely at first and slowly pull until it tighten around Klaus' neck like a noose. She can hears Niklaus cough and he stops in his track. He turn and stares at her, challengingly. Lips sneering, at first but then it turned into a smirks. His eyes shines with pride. His eyes are are saying, you are a Mikaelson after all. It unnerved her that he thinks she would stoop low to his level.
God, she wanted, wanted so bad to wiped the smug look on Klaus' face, forever. Freya huffs and lets her magic unravel. Hissing angrily under her breath, she reminds her that she can't actually kill him because they are sibling first and foremost. Half- sibling. Whatever. Klaus rubs his sore neck, his sharp eyes narrow on her. Freya rolls her eyes at the animosity she see in Klaus eyes and she glares back boldly. Like she will be scared of him. Never.
"You and I, aren't we quite similar." Klaus says in singsong voice.
"I am, not like you."Freya said in quiet voice, unsure.
Klaus eyes were on her, cold, measuring and calculating. "Are you sure?" Klaus lips tilts condescendingly before he walks away.
Freya sighs and massage her temples, chiding herself at the same time for losing control back there. Why the fuck is Klaus is always trying to antoganize his own siblings. What is he trying to achieve?
Freya was trying to postpone meeting Elijah but she can't and it is not right. She needs to do something, productive.
'I am sorry."Freya said eyes avoiding Elijah's. Guilts eating away at her consciousness. She set to stares at the outside window instead while she relay her conversation with Klaus.
Once hearing that Elijah's face harden and his eyes become cold, distant. Elijah had coldly states that if that is how Klaus going to be, then he has nothing to discuss with Klaus.
That was the last thing he said to her.
Elijah had resolutely refused to speak or even acknowledge Klaus presence after he said that.
At first, Klaus has taken it in strides he chuckling and he continues to pay visits Elijah every morning, if you could call it that.
All he does during this visits is just staring silently at Elijah with invasive eyes. Calculating. Watching him with his unfathomable eyes
Freya watched all this silently from the sideline. It is driving her insane. This crazy power play and waiting until one of them to caved.
She has try countless time to make Elijah talks to her and she had failed horribly. It seems that Elijah has choose to stay silent and glares angrily at everything in protest of his imprisonment. She had thought Klaus was stubborn but not Elijah is just as hard headed as him. This continues for weeks.
After a month mark has passed of Elijah ignoring him. Klaus turned into a temperamental ass. Yes, he was all temperamental ass before but even more than his usual charming self. Klaus Mikaelson had sets out to antoganize every other supernatural being in French Quarter everytime after he is done with his little visit to Elijah. Klaus antogonize everything, everyone which includes the witches.
Vincent is mad at her because of this. He won't speak to her unless she stops Klaus from terrorizing the witches. An impossible task. Like Klaus would ever listen to her. She is not Elijah. Even Elijah only manages to get Klaus to listened to him and no always only on a good day. She can't do nothing about it anyway. What's does Vincent expect her to do. Freya has no hold on Klaus.
She almost wishes she had never entangled herself with them. Her family. The Mikhaelson.
Nonetheless, she tries her best to hold this fracture family together. She had enough worries on her plate right now. A month. Freya sighs.
Elijah stares blankly at the walls in his room. To an outsider he looks solemn and lost in thoughts when in reality. He wants to lashed out and scream out his frustration but he is Elijah Mikaelson and he doesn't throw temper tantrum like his younger siblings does, so he just seethe in silence instead.
He lets himself imagine how he going to punished Klaus for this indesquation when he finally get out of this infernal chains.
He will skinned Klaus alive and makes his wolf pelt into a rug or something. Elijah snapped his wrist and the chains clang nosily. He is sick and tired of being chained like this. It has been weeks or a month, maybe. He had lost tracked. Klaus couldn't possibly meant to chained him like this until he change his mind. The only visitor he has of late is Freya. His self imposed silence is began to affect him a little. Elijah feels like he is going to crazy and since it had been a month, it is not that surprising.
On a fine afternoon of Monday at lasts, Elijah gave up and break his silence, Freya release me." Freya stares at him surprise. She pressed her lips together and grimace. Elijah scoffed before pressing his lips in a thinned line and show his contempt openly. Freya just look at him in inactivity.
He should have expected this, he already knew her answer. She had choose her side. Didn't she? Freya choose Niklaus side. He is the one chained here. Not Niklaus, that is enough but he asks anyway. He wants to see what would happen if he did.
"You know. I can't. Freya said. Thus, further confirming his thoughts that Freya sided with Klaus. Elijah, you know how Klaus would react. He would treat it as a betrayal. I don't think we can afford to make him angry."
"What about my anger?"Elijah growls his frustration or do you not care about me at all.
Of course, I cared about you. Freya worried her lips and shake her head at him. He looks away. "Please, Elijah." She said pleadingly with misty eyes, her voice shaking. God, she is not strong enough for this. How could she,it hurts when he question her like that. She loves him even before she met him. She loves Elijah while their mother is still carrying him in her belly. She was excited to meet him and she waited for months to see Elijah but then she was taken but still she continues to think about him. Imagining what he would look like and believing that she would meet Elijah and Finn, again.
"Hn." Elijah scoff in disbelief at seeing his sister misty eyes. He might have feel sorry for her if he were in a different situation. He had enough of witches manipulating him. What she is doing and her resemblance to their mother definitely doesn't help.
"Should I just swallow down my anger and frustration, let Klaus dictate what I should do. When I can come and go. I am not one of Klaus stupid pawn." Elijah grouses irritatedly
Freya sighs." Please, Elijah." She begs him for understanding, for forgiveness.
" I don't want to make Klaus angry" - angrier, I mean."
Freya rubs her temple and pace around the room."He is already difficult to deal with right now. I am not looking to stoke the fire especially when I am going to be left cleaning whatever mess he will start." She said with a stern voice and her arms crossed. Elijah needs to listen to her because she had enough on her plate. She is also worried about Keelin and what Klaus might do to her.
Elijah sighs. "Well maybe if you released me. You don't have to. Klaus chained like this instead of me. I would like to see how much he would enjoyed it, then." Elijah said bitterly.
Freya. huffs a small laughs. "Yeah. I would like to see that too." She hugs herself and stares hopefully at him. I am not afraid of him. I worried about what he would do to her, I meant Keelie.
Elijah doesn't know how to react to that. so, he pretends he didn't see it or hears it. He doesn't want to understand.
Freya sighs, her face is crestfallen and she leaves the room. Elijah takes a deep breath and tries to calm himself down.
She leaves him alone to his thought and he doesn't want that, what Elijah wants is to be free.
What on earth is Klaus trying to accomplish? He should have just keep Elijah asleep and daggered. Being daggered is much preferable than this subjugation. There is no dignity in this.
Well, isn't this, a balm to sores eye. Marcel mused cheerily as he stares at Elijah state. Amusement transparent in his face. Elijah rolls his eyes and stares at the uninvited guest with disinterest. He is not in the mood to entertain anyone. Still he has to put up a front.
It pisses him off when the original vampire smirks and lean against the headboard. The original vampire then proceed to stares at him condescendingly like he is a gum stuck to his shoes sole.
"What do you want, Marcellus? Did you come to pass on Niklaus' words or did you just come to gloat." Elijah asked with a bored expression on his face.
Marcel laughs." Elijah. I had to give it to you. Even when chain to a bed like a priceless whore. You still manage to act with such dignity."
Elijah resent that statement but it doesn't matter because Marcel is not wrong, he is chained to a bed. No point of getting angry and Elijah knows that the boy is trying to get a rise out of him. He simply can let that happened.
He is bored out of his mind. All he does is sits on the bed and stares at the wall. Wait all day for Freya to stop by to chat with him about something mundane and insubstantial. He had an inkling that she wasn't allow to give him any information on what is actually going on in the city. No doubt, it was done under Klaus' order.
He wonders why Marcel is here but he refrain from asking. He bet it has something to do with Klaus. He rolls his eyes at the thought. He should have really kill him when he had the chance. He means Klaus. Not Marcel. Maybe he should kill them both save the trouble of dealing with the two of them conspiring like this.
He receives his answer shortly after when he heard Klaus nonchalant voice.
"Ah. I see. You have been chatting with Elijah." Klaus comments while smirking mischievously.
He smirks falter with a scornful look Elijah throw him. Elijah didn't acknowledge him other than that. Klaus takes a deep breath and grits his teeth. Anger simmering under skin despite his poised stance.
"He is not much of a conversationalist nowdays." Klaus says sarcastically, teeth bared.
Elijah had expected the mockery. He knew Klaus would push to have Elijah acknowledge him in anyway he can whether verbally or with action.
Marcel looks at him appraisingly he lifts his brow. Yeah, really? He talks just fine to me. Klaus press tongue to his cheeks and he stares evenly at him. Elijah ignores him. He didn't take the bait. He resists the urge to smirks triumphly when Klaus scoffs.
"Well. Freya is gone for a few days. Nick starts.
"What did you do to her? Elijah growled. Jerking hard at the chain holding him.
Klaus looks smug. Like he had won whatever it is he think he had won.
"It is nice to hear your voice." Klaus said staring at him lovingly in his twisted way.
Elijah pressed his lips in a dissatisfied line and frown deeper. Klaus clenched his jaw and breathes out angrily. Back to being silent again.
She is visiting her paramour, Keelin in some obscure third world country. I did nothing to her. If that is what you are worried about" Klaus said harshly while staring at him. The lack of trust. Why does Klaus even have to explain hinself? Why can.., Klaus clenched his jaw.
Elijah throws a sharp glare at his brother before going back to the silent treatment and ignoring Klaus.
He doesn't think that Freya would just up and leave him alone with Klaus like this. There is no way, she would do that. Elijah isn't foolish enough to think that Klaus didn't have a hand in this. No matter how small or insignificant Klaus involvement in this. In fact he has no way to tell if Klaus is telling the truth, maybe he has find a way to lock her like Klaus did to him.
Klaus had carefully planned this move, so that Elijah will be desperate for company that he would be amenable to interact with Klaus. Elijah stares outside at the open window. He is not going to cower easily and play this game by the rules Klaus make. He won't give Klaus that satisfaction.
Klaus sneered. His eyes pick up on how Elijah keep lightly tugging the chain around. He saw how Elijah face twist with annoyance as he tries to find a somewhat comfortable position with the weight on chain around his wrists. Klaus sighs, he is feeling lethargic and drained. Why can't Elijah makes things easy? Why does he had to be stubborn like a mule and turn Klaus into the bad guy.
He lets his eyes roamed his brother body checking out his well being. He can see the broken skin where the handcuff had chaff Elijah's wrists consistently.
He runs his fingers on the chain slowly and jerk them hard without warning. The movement makes Elijah's body pitch forward until he is in Klaus' personal space. Elijah head snaps to glare up at him. Klaus grins obnoxiously and whispers to his brother ear, "You are stuck here for an unforeseeable future."
He grins widen when he noticed Elijah's grim face. "Why don't we have a chat brother?" You are known for being magnanimous. Be magnanimous towards me.
Marcel, who is watching all this. He tries hard not to get involve and keeping his mouth silent. He can't believe that Klaus would call him here just so he can make Marcel watch as he plays game of will with Elijah. He definitely had enough when Klaus starts whispering threats into Elijah's ear.
He makes his way to the door. He is going to left them alone to settle all this unwarranted tension.
"Marcel. I did not remember dismissing you."
Marcel grimace and aborted his mission reluctantly. He choose this he reminds himself When he held Elijah while Klaus stabbed him. Marcel is a part of this now wheter he likes it or not and he knows Klaus is going to remind him of it all the time now. Marcel leans against the wall next to the door and keep his eye on the hybrid original with suspicion.
For whatever reason, unknown to him. Klaus needed him here. So, he sits back and blended himself to the background.
"Are you in a more amicable mood to discuss this maturely?" Klaus asks condescendingly. "It has been what--," Klaus pretends to calculate, "... 38 days passed."
Marcel watch the scene unfold in front of him with reluctant. To be honest the tension between the two originals is worst than the sexual tension between him and Rebekah. Just a thought. He wasn't implying anything. If the two of them are not brother then the sexual tension would explains everything but they are siblings so it just a bit confusing. Marcel frown or maybe that is just Klaus. Klaus also has this kind of weird sexual tension with Rebekah too. It made Marcel feel uneasy when he is reminiscent.
Marcel focused on the scene unfold in front of him instead of trying to grasp understanding of Klaus twisted mind.
"Well. I didn't flips and dagger my brother and chained him after." Elijah comment darkly.
Klaus made a face like what you can do about that. Things happened.
Marcel resist the urge to scoff. He forgets how frustrating it is to deal with Klaus. He sympathize with Elijah at least at this moment.
Elijah..., of course reacts as Marcel expected.
Meaning Klaus became the receiving end of Elijah's detestable looks. Not that the hybrid originals cared by the looks of it. Klaus casually smirks with mirth and seem overjoyed. Sadistic bastard. Marcel curses in his head.
Klaus was having too much fun now that Elijah is responding back to his taunt rather that pretending he is invisible.
He forgets how much he had enjoyed antoganizing Elijah. Elijah's prissy attitude is delightful. He would take on this any day rather than being ignored. Bringing Marcel here was the right choice. Despite what Marcel thinks or how Elijah put facades he doesn't give a horseshit about Marcel. Klaus knows the truth, Elijah adores him. Always thinking of Marcel as a small child that follows him around. Eager to impressed Elijah and he wondered maybe, just maybe Marcel remind Elijah of a little scrawny little boy following his older brother around. The little boy hoping that just maybe his kind older brother would give him a scrape of attention that he doesn't get from their father.
Elijah jerked the chain loose from his grasps while he is distracted with the memories from past. Klaus watches like a hawk as Elijah leans back against the headboard putting distance between them. His dark brown eyes staring Klaus down coolly.
Klaus fingers twitch he was tempted to force Elijah to stay in his close proximity just to annoyed him but he restraint himself. Klaus own fist curling at his sides.
No matter, it doesn't bother him, much. Not when there is a much more pressing issues at hand.
"Now, that you are talking again. Instead of giving me, the silent treatment. Maybe, perhaps you could enlighted me."
"Why do you want to leave?" Klaus spit out like the word with so much hatred. His hands gripping the headboard until he can feel the wood cracking. He ease his grips before the wooden headboard could break. It will be a hassle to move Elijah again.
Marcel on the other hand is wondering what is the Klaus trying to accomplish by asking the same question repeatedly.
Didn't Elijah already told them, his reason? Is Klaus suspecting something else? A foul play? What is Marcel even here for? The two of them can have their family squabble without him here.
"Why can't I leave?" Elijah throws back.
Marcel wants to applause for Elijah. He is the master of evading questions of that he doesn't want to answer. It is frustrating, he feels like he wants to pulled out his hair and he doesn't even have hair.
A dead silence and as expected the two originals, proceed to glare each other down. Marcel sighs inaudibly. He wonders who is going to cave first. Fortunately, he doesn't have to wonder for long because Niklaus break the silence by sighing loudly.
New approach then. He sits himself on the bed. He can feels Elijah's questioning eyes on him. He swiftly grabs Elijah by his wrist. Klaus had his head bowed down hiding his face.
"Why are you doing this to me?" Klaus says in small voice. He can do this. He will play the part of petulant younger brother.
He had not been anything like that for thousand of years.
He is strong now and a hybrid. He is far from the snivelling crybaby that needs his older brother to protect, comfort him from Mikael's rage and cruel words. He is no longer that weak pathetic and human.
When he thinks about it. At least Esther did one thing correctly that is by making them immortal.
Immortality is both, a curse and gift.
Klaus rolls his eyes , not that Elijah could see it since Klaus' head is bowed down. Like he said he is not above manipulating Elijah's need to be nurturing and play older brother role. He can act weak just for Elijah's corporation on this matter.
This is fine Not embarrassing at all, Rebekah does it all the time. She likes to act up all petulant and spoilt from time to time. Of course, Elijah being the doting older brother. He loves that and he coddled her. He lets Rebekah get away with almost anything when she uses that trick on him. So Klaus will do the same.
Marcel scoffs as he watch Klaus antics. Elijah is stupid if he fall for such obvious method of manipulation.
Marcel watch unbelievably as Elijah anger drains away immediately and his eyes soften.
Right. Elijah is officially extremely stupid when it comes to his family and siblings. He also forgets that the old vampire has a soft spots for children and vulnerable people, person. One of the reasons why Marcel thinks the old vampire likes humans so much
Marcel stares as Elijah bring his hands up to cup Niklaus' back of head. He runs his finger gently through Niklaus unruly hair and grip his shoulder. Elijah pull Klaus into a one arm hug. The fact that Elijah is comforting Klaus like any normal older brother would comfort their younger sibling, is disturbing to him. Marcel knew them and he knows that they are not what people said as tight knit brothers. There is always this tension maybe because they are always each other opposite in a way.
Marcel wonders that maybe he is wrong. Perhaps Klaus and Elijah is that type of affectionate siblings that hugs and touch each other for comfort but Marcel rarely had the opportunity to witness it with his own eyes. They look like normal family for once. Of course, the beautiful moment was completely ruin by Klaus who is smirking smugly at him, over Elijah's shoulder.
That psyco.
"I am not abandoning you neither is Rebekah. Kol has always does whatever he likes." Niklaus snorts. "We all knew, he is not a family type of guy but in time of need you can always count on him."
"You are not alone. You have our big sister, Freya looking out for you." Marcel feel awkward when Elijah affectionate eyes land on him. There is a barely smile on his lips. "You'll have Marcellus at your side."
Marcel is surprise by the trust Elijah had for him. This is the man that rip out his heart because he possesed threat to the Mikaelson family. Marcel guess maybe the originals vampire is getting a little too old if he is forgetting something like that easily.
"You will not be alone brother. You will be just fine. Even without me, constantly baby sitting you." Elijah says deadpanned.
Niklaus press his face to his brother chest, like he had always done before when he was still human, still a child.
He didn't know how badly he needed this hug from his older brother. He feels the dread of this past few days lifts from his shoulder.He has always find comfort in Elijah's affectionate touches.
The reason for his anger his somber mood the entirety of month is because of Elijah. Klaus wants to laugh hysterically. The power that Elijah hold over him is too great. It scares him even more now with Mikhael gone Klaus is no longer in constant state of hyper awareness. The opportunity let him, let him realise how significant is Elijah to him. Klaus was still trying to figure things out and he thinks that maybe just maybe without Rebekah hanging around and trying to steals Elijah's attention away from him. Then maybe..just maybe he will have all the time he needs to find out.
It was all fine..for a moment until Elijah forced his hand.
He is murderously angry when he thinks back on what lead them to this momentous occasion right now.
Elijah had hurt him with his thoughtlessness a month ago and Klaus had antoganize every supernatural beings in New Orleans taking it out on them and it was all because Elijah had refused to look or talk to him. Klaus is aware of what Freya thinks of him. She thinks Klaus is crazy and truth be told Klaus think he just might be when it comes to Elijah.
Elijah is his North star and Klaus has meant it in every way without him, Klaus is..he is lost.
He wondered if Elijah even understand the magnitude of what it meant. The thought of never seeing Elijah again is too painful. Klaus even risks Hope safety so he could see him in Monasque. Then he continues to put Hope at risks because Klaus just, he just can't stay away. Seeing him once was not enough, Klaus wants to see him always. He understands that now.
"You survived before without my constant hovering. I have no doubt that you can do it again. Despite whatever lies Mikael told you. You are strong brother." Elijah said whispering the words into his hair.
He looks up and stares at Elijah in the eyes. Elijah looks at him eyes full of tenderness. Klaus close his eyes at the feel on Elijah's finger running through his hair. It is overwhelming. Elijah gentleness towards him has always left him wanting for more. Even in past while they had nothing, a family with just a small shack at the edge of woods.
Mikhael doesn't love him and Klaus only had his mother half hearted affection most of the time but he always have Elijah in the past. It was more than enough. He doesn't need anything else.
Nearly losing Elijah for perhaps eternity. It made him afraid and Klaus think he has never been more afraid than that he was ready to risks everything.
Elijah had made a grave mistake he shouldn't touch him like this it only reminds Klaus what he wil be denied from in the future.
There will be no more affectionate touches from his older brother to soothe him when he is in pain.
"No." Klaus says stubbornly. "It didn't matter what sweet words coming from your mouth brother. You still wants to leave. I can't have that." Klaus says watching Elijah with cold eyes.
"You are being difficult." Elijah said pulling bodily away from him as much as he can.
"I am being difficult?" Klaus said with a fake smile plaster on his face and genuine anger behind his eyes.
He saw how Elijah's face becomes furious. Good. Klaus is sick and tired of being jerk around by Elijah's game.
"We have parted way before. This is nothing new. I don't understand. Why you are being unbearably clingy now?" Elijah growls out.
Marcel eyes widen. He chuckled. He can't believe his ears. Elijah had just call Klaus clingy to his face.The looks on Klaus face is downright hilarious.
Klaus frowns, once he get over the shock that Elijah had call him clingy like he is an ex-girlfriend that can't move on.
"Well..before I have this notion that my older brother is indestructible." Klaus says condescendingly. Apparently, I was terribly wrong because our mother had easily kidnapped him and weakened his mind. He was shot with white oak bullet by my crazy ex-girlfriend. He almost die from toxic bite from my super hybrid, sort of adopted son. Klaus said glaring at Marcel. Marcel doesn't avoid eye contact and stared back unimpress with the, "Oh, now you wanted to bring up the old grievances", look on his face.
Klaus rolls his eyes, "What i forgive you but that doesn't mean I was going to forget".
"Fuck, really. That is rich. He tried to kill me first."Marcel said angrily. He might even have succeed if I hadn't drink that potion first.
Klaus pressed his lips together as he stares at Marcel, "he cried, he cried and broke down in Haley arms. He was devastated when he had to kill you. He thought, it was the best choice at that time."
Marcel awkwardly tries not to look at Elijah. It is hard to imagines calm and collected Elijah's bawling his eyes out. Klaus have to be lying. Marcel can't even imagine it. It is too farfetched. However, he can't look away from the way the emotions on Elijah's face shift before he masks them completely and Marcel was left wondering.
Now, back to the current conversation, "Why is my dear older brother isn't alllowed to leave my side."
Klaus announced in grated tone and a sneer. "Oh. Let's not forget. You, did die from facing the hollow. Decides to wipe your own memories and then fall in love with the enemy. Klaus laugh sardonically. "No. You did something even worst that falling in love. You got engaged to a lowly vampire named Antoinette with a crazy mom who had plans to wipe out all wolf and hybrids alike."
Klaus breath heavily just thinking about the recent event angers him. "Should I go on?" He said cruelly.
None of what Klaus is saying was wrong but looking at the look on Elijah's face.
Marcel thinks, maybe Klaus should not have been that blunt. The looks on the originals face is--there is no word to describe it, Marcel thinks. He, he does actually felt sorry for Elijah.
Elijah slapped both of his palm on Klaus chest and send his crashing to the wall. Marcel watch amusedly as Klaus when flying through the wall. He thinks Klaus might have deserve that a little.
Elijah looks away, watching Klaus' body crumpled and hurt by his hand is difficult for him. He wonders if Mikael did ruin him too. When he is cornered he would always result to violence. He did managed to stop himself from inflicting Klaus serious damage. It would only takes Klaus few seconds to recover. Klaus groans angrily and it was obvious he is hurt by the smell of the spilled blood.
He throw a concern look at Klaus. The hybrid recover himself swiftly and was on his two feet in record times.
Marcel grimaces as he watch a concrete rod poking through Klaus stomach and the large missing chunk of the wall with exposed concrete rod.
Instead of anger, all Marcel could see was worries that marred the hybrid's face.
Klaus eyes roamed every each Elijah's body freely. He looks concerned. "You need to eat."Klaus said clenching his fists and looking ansty like he is close to crawling up the wall. He hovers worriedly like he had just not collide with the wall or that blood is not gushing out of his mouth while he talks.
He looks Elijah's up and down again, eyes searching, the concrete rod is still pocking through his stomach. "I don't understand." The hybrid grouse in frustration as he stares at Elijah. He stares as if there is like something seriously wrong with Elijah.
The way Klaus reacting is making Marcel ansty in return because if there something is really wrong with Elijah. Klaus will definitely becomes more insufferable that he is now.
"Why are you not at full strength?"
Marcel stares at Elijah surprised by Klaus sudden revelation. "He is not at full strength?" Marcel asked. Not full strength what does that mean?
He is not. Klaus voice laced thick with concern. Maybe it is the spell. No. The spell not supposed to do that.
'Are you sure," Marcel ask because the chain doesn't do that. It doesn't Marcel know because he commission those chains. Klaus eyed his brother again but of course Elijah is glaring at them with saying a word, very unhelpful.
Sighing, Klaus pulls the rod out if his stomach and throw is angrily. "It wasn't supposed to do that or at least I think it is not supposed to do that."
"I need to find Freya," with that said, Klaus stormed out.
Marcel stares disbelivingly at the closed door. "Tell me. He didn't just leave me, here."
"I think, he just did." Elijah says staring at his with half bored expression on his face.
He had forgotten about Elijah for a moment. Awkward. What did you say to someone who had riped your heart out in the past? Or what are you supposed to say when you find out that he had apparently broke down in tears after he killed you, because Marcel sure as hell have no idea. Allegedly, he didn't know for sure that Elijah did mourned for him because he had to kill him. Anyway.What he is supposed to do, now.
"So, it just you and me. Huh." Marcel said awkwardly.
Elijah raised an eyebrow at him elegantly. Marcel exhale and bit his lips. He looks fine to Marcel but surely Klaus sees something that he didn't.
"Feeling slightly under the weather?" Marcel ask cordially. He is not concern about Elijah's wellbeing nor that he cared but Klaus is going crazy to put it mildly. So yeah, Marcel is just helping Klaus to get to the bottom of this problem.
Elijah gave him a long suffering look and sighs. He had known this child for centuries and he knows that Marcel is mocking him. However, he is Elijah Mikaelson.
"If you were incline to believe so." He said with a loud exaggerated sighs.
"I do not make a habit of hurting my siblings when we quarrel or disagree. That kind of behavior is all Niklaus." Elijah tugs at the chain a few times, face scrunch up with distaste before settling to glare balefully at it.
Marcel stares at the original. Elijah has a penchant for acting like a perfect gentlemen whenever is suits his mood. Like now at this moment. He didn't have to confess to anything but he did because he saw how concern Marcel was?
"I don't suppose you will let me go. Elijah says eyes judging him."
It startles him. He definitely wasn't expecting that. Marcel grimace. "I have learn a long time ago not to get between you and Klaus." He says diplomatically.
Of course, the vampire is lying and Elijah is aware of that. He knew he had burn the bridge between the two of them when he rips out Marcel's heart and throw him over the bridge. He did not expect forgiveness but he knew that the relationship between the two of them won't be as it were before.
Truthfully, if you ask Marcel. He would said he didn't know if that was the reason for him not helping the original vampire Maybe, he is still holding grudge. He can understand Elijah reasoning but he still can't find it in himself to forgive him. He feel betrayed and Marcel doesn't think that they could go back as before like this thing is not hanging above them.
Elijah. He looked as though he had expected this. He looks too calm for someone who is chained to the bed for an unforeseeable future and it unnerved Marcel. Marcel swallows the bitterness down. He used to foolishly look up to this man. Marcel respected Elijah and his principle. It such a shame that the relationship between the two of them had become the way they are. Toxic.
"You look calm." Marcel comments.
Elijah looks at him and his lips quirk up. "Do I now?" He ask eyes piercing into Marcel's being instead of giving a suitable response.
"Hn. Marcel scoff his eyes cold are devoid of any real emotion. "Yeah. I forget that you have always loved playing mind games." Marcel says staring outside the window, he is staring at nothing specific but more of avoiding looking at Elijah. The two of them had this complicated relationship, Elijah was once his mentor, sort of. Marcel had really looked up to him. Marcel quickly discard that thought. It was all in the past.
Besides he has nothing more left to say. The silence is building and it was getting extremely uncomfortable for Marcel. He wants to leave.
"You can leave." Elijah said somberly as if he can read Marcel's thought..
"Uh. How about no? I'll stay since Klaus would probably be furious, if I don't." Marcel retorts back.
"I doubt that. Besides with Freya not around. You need to to stop him when he gets out of line. Don't you need to protect.. your city? Do you think it is wise to let him go off alone after him and I just had a fight?" Elijah said as he stares imploringly at Marcel.
"Fuck, Marcel curses under his breath as he storms out the room trying to track Klaus whereabouts. He hoped that Klaus didn't went to stir troubles. He is really not in the mood for this.
Elijah sighs and looks out at the window after Marcel rushed out. Mission accomplished. He wanted to be left alone with his thoughts.
Elijah doubted, Klaus was out terrorizing people. He looked completely lost after Elijah had tossed him into the wall. It would take him a while to recover from the shock. He was probably hiding somewhere to lick his wounds. Elijah frowned and thought deeply; this was Klaus they were talking about. Elijah shook his head; of course he was out there terrorizing other people or the non-human beings.
