Just the two of us (Number 5)

S1 E5- Number 5

Quinlin was carried back by Five to the Academy, she Limped into Klaus's room and Collapsed onto the bed, waiting for her brother to come out of the bathroom. When she realised he needed space she made her way to the living room and collapsed onto the couch. 

She woke up and walked around the house until she made it to the basement. She looked at the metal container and scoffed. 

"Why do I have to stay there, I can't breath in there," Quinlin asked her dad as he took her to the Basement. "You have to control your power's Number 8" was all he said before he grabbed the 10-year-old girl's arm and threw her inside. She got up and started banging on the little transparent part of the box, yelling for him to let her out. Her dad simply looked at her and walked out. 

She sighed and she put her hand on the front of the box. "You always hated that thing" A voice came from behind her. she turned around and saw Pogo. "Well he always shoved me into it anyway," she said as she looked back at the box with distain. "he meant well" Pogo tried to Justify. Quinlin chuckled humorously. "It was torture," She said as she scoffed. "I'm sorry for helping him," Pogo said. Quinlin sighed, "you had to" Was all she said before walking up to her room.

She sat on her bed with her head in her hands and terrors kept coming back to her. She took away Klaus's pain but it transferred to her. 

She got up and began pacing inside her room, she needed to relax. She sighed, it's been a while but why the fuck not, she got out of her house and used her motorbike to drive to her apartment. She grabbed the pack of ciggerettes and the bottle of Whiskey and sat on the roof of her house. 

She looked at her phone before shrugged and calling Klaus. "hello" a small voice answered. "Klausy!" She exclaimed and began giggling. "Quinlin where are you?" Klaus asked genuinely concerned for his sister. "I'm at home, Did you know I was in love with Five? I just realized."She said before she paused. " I should tell him that before we all die" she mumbled to herself. "I'm coming to you wait," Klaus said as he told Luther to Drive to Quinlin's. "Yes! We can drink together!" she exclaimed and cut the phone. 

A few minutes later she heard an engine down, she claimed back into her room, The cigarette hanging loose from her fingers as she chugged down her fourth whiskey bottle before dropping it on the floor somewhere. "Yay!" She exclaimed as he hugged Klaus. she let go of him and took a long drag. "Come in," she said to her brothers as she stumbled into the giving room. "you drink?" Luther asked her she nodded with wide eyes. "You're too young to be drinking," Luther said as he shook his head. "I'm the same age as you," she said as she wiggled her finger in his direction. 

"How about you sit down?" Deigo suggested. "No! The world is ending, And I can't find Five. So I'm not going to sit" SHe said as she shook her head, swaying at her spot. "Five's gone," Luther said. "Oh great," she said sarcastically. "Gotta wait for another 17 years... oh wait 45 years," she said as she giggled and stumbled. "Woah," Klaus said as he stabled her. "Get her home," a voice said. "Who said that?" she asked as she looked around the room. "She can hear me?" the voice continued. "Yes I can hear you," she said offended. 

She sat on the couch, a frown gracing her lips. "I did everything to make dad love me, but you know what? he's an asshole" she said as she laid down, dropping the cigarette which Diego put out immediately. "He was an asshole" she whispered. "He tortured me, and hurt me, and haunted me. You know he even showed up in one of my nightmares" she said as she scoffed, "he's everywhere" she said in disbelief as she flung her arms around. "He treated all of us like shit! And you know what? I'm so glad he died cause he deserved it" she said as she pointed her finger to the ceiling. "You deserved it you bastard!" she yelled out. "Quinlin, "Luther said warningly. 

"No, he was terrible. Missions, Bullying, excluding, torturing, experimenting" she listed off as she counted them on her fingers. "I was so Sad when Five left and he punished me for leaving the table," she said as she scoffed. "I lost my favorite person and he cared about how we could be assets," she said as she sniffed. "And when Ben died he blamed all of us, but it was his fault. He made Ben feel like he was a goddamn monster, Ben lost control because our father treated him like a ticking time bomb" She said as she shook her head. She sat up and looked at her brothers. "Ben would have been alive if we could have protected him," she said as she looked out of the window. 

"Every time I think about him all I can remember is that I wasn't there to protect him, I wasn't there to save him, to take away his pain. I could have been the one dead" she said as she slammed her fists into the couch. "it wasn't your fault, it was all of ours" Diego said softly. "No, I should have not let Dad experiment on me that day. I should have come with all of you" she said softly as she let a tear, drop. 

"I wish I could have just taken away his pain and saved him," she said as she clenched her eyes shut. "He was there for me always and I couldn't be there when he needed me" she chocked out. Klaus immediately hugged her and she gripped onto him, sobbing. "It should have been me" she whispered. She cried herself to sleep and her brother's carried her back to the academy.
