Allure of Darkness: TVD [2]✓

Chapter Three

Gemma was woken up the next day by a soft knocking on her bedroom door;

"Come in, Klaus."

"How did you possibly know it was me?" he said opening the door.

"I am a smart girl." she set up in her bed and looked over at him, "what do you need?"

"I wanted to see if you were okay from last night." he said sincerely, which honestly shocked Gemma. He came further into her bedroom and sat on the edge of her bed.

"I killed two vampires. I feel terrible. But I protected a friend." Rebekah then decided to come into the doorway.

"I cannot believe you disposed of those vampires without me. You know how I love to set things on fire." she said.

"Was I supposed to leave them in the front yard to rot? Besides, they were my responsibility. They attacked the helpless pregnant girl who's carrying my child?"

"Oh, I am so moved by your new found sense of fatherly duties to the werewolf carrying your hybrid bun in the oven?" Rebekah questioned, Gemma saw Hayley's head pop into the frame of the door as well.

"The werewolf would like to know what the plan is." Hayley said pushing her way past Rebekah and into the room. 

"Well, that depends what plan you mean, love; my plan for global domination, or Rebekah's plan to find love in a cruel, cruel world. Or Gemma's plan, which is to finally admit she is madly in love with me." Gemma could help but laugh

"Don't count on that happening, anytime soon."

"I have all the time in the world."

"The plan to rescue Elijah you know, the good brother. The one who is now in the possession of your mortal enemy after you stabbed him in the back.

"Technically, it was the front.. and you never told me you were giving him to Marcel." Gemma told them. The two girls shot her a look.

"You two said that you would get him back. So is there a plan, or what?"

"Okay. Well, firstly, Marcel is not mortal enemy- he's my friend, albeit one who is unaware that I'm trying to sabotage his hold over the supernatural community of the French Quarter, but a friend nonetheless. And secondly, I daggered Elijah in order to gain Marcel's trust. If I had known he would palce my brother in the hands of a particularly nasty teenaged witch, I certainly would have weighed my options a bit differently. And thirdly, sister, please."

"And thirdly, the plan, as you have demanded, is for Niklaus to simply ask Marcel for Elijah back."

"That's... that's not the whole plan, is it?"

"Please, Klaus may be a miserable excuse for a sibling, but there is none more diabolical."

"And that's only the plan A, love. There's always a plan B."

"And what's plan B?" Hayley questioned him.

"War." Klaus said. The two girls left, leaving only Klaus and Gemma.

"What's your plans for today?" Klaus asked her.

"No classes today, so nothing."

"Come with me to Marcel's."

"Sure. Let me get ready. I need to shower."

"Hurry, we leave in an hour." Klaus left her room, and Gemma quickly showered and got ready. When they arrived at the compound they heard Thierry talking;

"Look, i know you and Klaus are friends, but the fact is since the Originals and that Gemma chick showed up-"

"Uh, come now, Thierry. You're not still upset about that little, toxic werewolf bite I gave you are you? I thought we were at bygones. I mean I've bitten Gemma, what how many times?" Klaus said to Thierry.
