Scarlet Pierce -Book 1

Chapter 23🩸

I wake up
To Klaus shaking me

Wake up Love, he says
I open my eyes

Klaus. I say
He hugs me

You're okay Damon told me everything why did you kill him. He says

He stabbed me so I did what I had to do. I say

He is gonna torture you know. Klaus says

I know that Klaus. I say

How's your wound? He asks

Healed. I said

Vampire blood. He asks

No, magic and herbs. I say
He kisses me

I will be upstairs. he says
I nod my head okay
I go into his room
I lay on my bed. I am breathing hard and can't seem to get to sleep. I get up and how to the kitchen. I place a glass of milk in the microwave and warms it up.

Can't sleep? Connor says
I turn around frightened but I see no one there. The microwave beeps, making me jump. I open the door and takes the cup out. I turn around and sees Connor leaning on the counter. I gasp

You know it makes sense; guilty conscience. Connor says

You're not here. I'm – I've got to be dreaming. I say

And how do you know that I'm not here? Connor says
He starts walking towards me. I walk backward, trying to keep my distance between us.

Because you're... I say

Go on, say it. Connor says

Because you're dead. I say

Yes, I am. Was that the first time that you've taken a human life as a witch? He says

You're a ghost. That's gotta, be it. You're a ghost, that's what's happening right now. Kla...Klaus. Klaus! I yell
Upstairs, Klaus hears me calling for he stops painting.

You're a ghost; you're haunting me. You're a ghost; you're haunting me. I say

Can a ghost do this? Connor asks
Connor grabs me in a chokehold and strangles me I thrust my elbow into his stomach and release myself from his grasp. I push him, sending Connor flying across a table. Connor gets up and starts to walk back towards me. I grab a knife and stabs Connor in the neck. I remove the blade from his neck and sees that I have just stabbed Klaus, not Connor. I drop the knife.

Oh my god! I say

It's okay love I am fine. Klaus says on the ground
The wound healed

I am so sorry. I say

It's okay Love I know how you feel. He says
He gets up and tries to touch me

No don't touch me I might hurt you again. I say

You won't hurt me. He says
And grabs me hugs me

Breath Love you gotta this. He says
Hayley is pouring a shot. Tyler walks into the room.

You're still going? I drank enough last night and then I slept, which is what you guys should have done. Tyler says

We're just paying our respects to Dean. Chris says

That's great, Chris, but could you pay them at a bar instead? Tyler says
