Color ~ Klaus Mikaelson*

8: Meu aniversário

meu aniversário; my birthday

2 or 3 Months later>>>>

"Come along, Luv," Klaus said. He handed me his hand but every time he does it I spit in it and he smiles. Does my rebeliouness amuse him?

I walked after him to the front of some poor girls' house as she was trying to find her dog. She jumped when she saw us and Klaus smiled. "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you," Klaus said in an American accent. I choked on my spit.

"Can I help you," the girl asked. "Yeah, my, uh, my car ran out of gas a few miles back. We feel like we've been walking forever. Yours is the first house we've come to, so I was just hoping we could use your phone," Klaus said. "Neither of you have a cell phone," she asked. "No service," I shrugged. "Battery died. Look, promise I'm not a serial killer. I just wanna use your phone," Klaus said and I choked on my spit again.

"Sure," the girl said. "So. I can come in," Klaus asked. "No. I'll get the phone and I'll bring it out to you," the girl said. "I thought you country folk we're supposed to be more trusting," Klaus said in his normal accent. "I'm from Florida," the girl rolled her neck.

"Well that explains it," Klaus said and he choked her. I turned away and hopped to the car. This is no way to spend the month of my birthday let alone the week.. Same day as Elena's.

I went to the car and that's when it was Stefan's cue to show up. Minutes later as I heard screaming I sang the song that calmed my nerves and overall distracted me from what was going on.

I didn't believe in killing the underserving. If you must kill somebody they'd have to deserve it. Kind of like the Devil.

"Oh, Maria, Maria

She fell in love in East L.A.

To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah

Played by Carlos Santana

Stop the lootin', stop the shootin'

Pick-pockin' on the corner

See as the rich is getting richer

The poor is getting poorer," I sang but stopped when Klaus came into the car. My singing turned into humming.

"You shouldn't stop. You have a lovely voice," Klaus said. I rolled my eyes and quit humming. He's been doing this flirting thing since he kidnapped me 2 months ago.

The Next Day>>>

We pulled up to a bar called Southern Comfort. Klaus handed me this bag with a change of clothes in it. I just put clothes on, why did he want me to put on this? It was a dress and some other things. I thought I looked fine in the clothes I had on which were a jersey and ripped jeans.

I tossed him back the bag and went into the bar. I guess he wanted me to bait the bait; Ray.

I went to the seat one seat away from Ray. I made sure to twirl my hair dumbly and show my curves. "Hey, cutie. Got a name on you," he asked me. I waved to the bartender to get me the same as him or at least some vodka. It was my birthday after all.

I turned a smiled at him. "Meu nome não está disponível. Mas você pode engasgar na própria bunda.(My name is unavailable. But you can choke on your own ass.)" I smiled. He looked confused but caught on quickly. Maybe he wasn't a douchebag. "Maybe I can take you to my place so we can figure out what you just said," he said and I laughed evilly.

"No thank you," I said with a thick accent. "C'mon. Let me show you what you're missing out on," he said coming closer to me. I saw Klaus making his way in angrily so I had to make this quick. "Look, Ray. With all offense your fucking ugly. I mean there's that then there's you; ugly. And your methods aren't really appealing. Learn your languages, punk bunda vadia," I said regularly.

"Ray? Ray Sutton," Klaus asked holding a fake smile. "Who wants to know," he was watching me angrily while I was smiling. "I've been looking everywhere for you. We started in Florida, Pensacola. I met a young chap there who you worked with before you moved to Memphis. now he directed me to two lovely young women. And they led me here," Klaus said.

"I think I'll be going," Ray said. H probably felt intimidated by Klaus's presence. "Not so fast, mate. You only just got here. Now your type are very hard to come by," Klaus said and Ray trie to walk away but Stefan stopped him.

"I wouldn't do that," Stefan said pushing him back. "Vampires," Ray said in realization. 'Human," I nodded. "You're swifty swift, Ray. Yes, my friend here is a vampire. He's compelled everyone in the bar, so don't look to them for help. My girl there is not... not yet. I, however, I'm something else. A different type of monster. I've got some vampire, I've go some wolf," Klaus said. I retraced his words in my head to understand what he meant by not yet. ANd what did he meant by "my girl."

Bitch, I belong to the devil. JK. I belong to no one and nowhere.

I noticed Stefan nearing me and I flinched a bit. "Happy Birthday," he whispered and I smiled. I probably made him feel bad when I flinched. "Thank you," I whispered.

"I need a scotch on the rocks, please. Ahem, tell you what, Ray. We're going to play a little drinking game," Stefan said and I jumped up interested. When I saw that he pulled out wolfsbane I started sneezing uncontrollably. "Something called truth or wolfsbane," Stefan said and he took the wolfsbane away from my face.

For some odd reason I was allergic to wolfsbane. If that made sense. I never found out why or if it had something to do with the supernatural. All I knew is that if it brought up more problems for me I didn't want to know.

"I'm going to use the restroom," I said sniffling. I wasn't really going to the restroom. I was going to send a birthday card to Damon to send to Elena. I knew he and Alaric were following our steps. So I had someone do me a favor and drop a card at the house we had just left the other day.

When I came back Stefan was throwing wolfsbane darts at Ray. The intoxicating smell was all around the bar causing me to have a runny nose.

I found out that Stefan was going to tell Damon to back off but then how was I supposed to keep in contact with them. If I suddenly dropped from the space of the Earth the Earth would drop from space.

"No, No. Stefie don't leave me," I begged clinging on to my arm. "See ya," he said with a disappointing look on his face.

<~>

By the time Stefan came back; Klaus wished me and happy birthday and had given me and gift, Ray was dead ready for the transition.

Klaus gave me the dog of the girls that they killed. Not gonna lie he's so cute but why would I want a dead person's dog. C'mon now.

Rudy was a odd name so I named him Hiraeth. It basically means house/home you cannot return to or nostalgia. Description of my situation.

Later on that night I saw Stefan dial and call Elena's number. I saw him ugly cry. Worst sight seen but I feel for the guy.

A/N: I received some love today from this book and it truly brightened up my day.
