Collisions [1]

Night out

YASMINE'S POV

I pop open the ninth bottle of tequila for Skyler who cheers loudly with Caroline who is dancing around her. I groan as I push the bottle to her before I take another sip of my vodka cranberry. I'm so bloody tipsy, I can barely stand on my own two feet. It's been a a week since my kidnapping and I decided to go out and get drunk because I felt like enough was enough - I needed to go outside.

I needed to feel. Something. Anything. I needed to stop feeling like I was weak.

Skyler chugs the tequila bottle before she giggles and sits down next to me. "I wanna go over to Klaus' now! Please!" She shoves another bottle of tequila in my hand before gesturing at the main door and I nod in agreement. I was hoping to see Damon since I haven't seen him since that day. I'm not sure why, I just have been feeling so traumatised and not myself since the kidnapping. I've been feeling like shit after my talk with Damon - it's odd, it's made me question who I really am.

I nod and send Caroline some taxi money since she's wrapped up with her own friends before I call us an Uber to Klaus' house. I wrap the leather jacket around my body as the cold wind blows through.

"I think Elijah will be there." Skyler comments as she stares into the street and I shoot her a questioning brow.

"So basically." She giggles before taking a swig of her tequila. "He is Klaus' brother. He's a sweetheart though apart from ripping out a hybrid's heart and accusing that Klaus' love for me was fake." She hiccups before taking another swig.

"What an asshole!" I exclaim as I frown.

"I don't blame him. I mean if you are in a coffin with dagger in your heart, I'm pretty sure that'll fuck you up too."

I scowl as the taxi pulls over. "Jeez. That's fucked up. How come?"

We get into the taxi and the drives starts cruising down the lane as Skyler waves dismissively. "Its a long story, if we get into it, you're gonna be here for days." She coughs out a laugh as the taxi arrives in front of Klaus' manor.

We start our decent up the stone stairways towards the massive oak doors when Skyler stops us. "Oh my god, they're talking about us. Do I look cute?!" She giggles and I grin widely before nodding.

"As always, girl."

The two of us are dressed in tight black dresses paired with killer black heels tonight, looking like twins.

"What are they saying?" I gesture at the door.

Skyler chews on her bottom lips. "They were asking Klaus if he loved me but stopped because I'm pretty sure he can hear us too." With that, Skyler opens the door and bursts in.

"KLAUS. YOU, ME. A CLUB NOW." Skyler cheers loudly as she waves the tequila bottle around as she saunters into the house, towards the dining table. Klaus, Stefan, Damon and a man - that I assume is Elijah, is sitting around a massive oak table.

"Sweetheart, how many have you had?" Klaus stares at her, astonishment evident on his face.

"Three-"

"Nine. She had nine bottles because I'm broke." I shoot back and she gasps dramatically.

"No way... Wait really?" Skyler scoffed.

I nod, giggling. "I paid, I'd definitely remember."

"I'll send you the money." Klaus smiles before pulling Skyler into his arms and placing a kiss on her hairline.

I chuckle as Skyler slams the tequila bottle on the table. She glares at Stefan.

"Look, it's my murderer." She slaps him hard and he groans, holding his cheek. I chuckle at the sight and shrug out of my jacket, finally letting the cool air hit my heated skin. I wasn't comfortable in this dress, it's always been Skyler who was the loud and outgoing one but she always encouraged me that I shouldn't be ashamed of myself. She stormed into my room, demanding that I'd stop moping and start living so I let her dress me up, get me tipsy and now I'm here.

I suck in a deep breath trying to ignore Damon's and Elijah's intense stares as Stefan stands up, an apologetic look on his face.

"I'm so sorry Skyler, my humanity was off. Please just let me make it up to you." Stefan releases a huge sigh and Skyler smirks.

"Come to the club with me."

"Anything for you, darling." Stefan smiles warmly at her and I see Klaus' body go rigid.

"Ah Stefan, I believe the right term for this statement would be 'fuck no,' as said by the modern day inhabitants." Klaus sends a poisonous smile to him which he ignores.

Skyler pouts as she kisses Klaus' cheek. "You're no fun. I wanna get some dancing done." The two of them start bickering as I see Elijah move towards me. Damon's intense stare on me never wavers.

"And you are?" Comes Elijah's polished accent. I look up at him in surprise.

"Yasmine. Skyler's best friend."

"Nice to meet you, my love. I'm Elijah, Klaus' brother."

"So I've heard. How does it feel to be out?"

"Good, I suppose. It's been a...uhm a long time." Elijah clears his throat and I laugh. Damon instantly stands up and walks over to me, placing his arm around my waist before kissing my temple.

"Yasmine." He mumbles before shooting Elijah a poisonous smile. He stares at Damon's arm before his body grows tense and then he takes his place next to Klaus once again.

"Klaus." Elijah begins and Klaus turns around to face him, a questioning look on his face.

Elijah takes a sip of his red wine and the next statement makes Klaus' whole body turn rigid and face go pale.

"I've undaggered all our siblings."
