Stronger than the rest

Chapter 38

"Angel, you are coming with me for a drink." klaus says as he throws me a jacket.

"Seriously? You expect me to go out like this?" I ask, gesturing to the outfit I'm wearing. he smirks at me before grabbing my arm and pulling me closer.

"You are coming with me and won't leave my side unless I say and you will act like you are with me." he compels and I slide the jacket on and loop my arm with his. My body moves without my mind's command.

"What about me?" Katherine asks as she taps her foot.

"Stay here." Niklaus states and he walks me out the apartment.

We reach the mystic grill and klaus he turns to me. my heart races as I look at him. But out of fear. He hasn't changed, except his hair. it's been cut. but other then that... nothing.

"You go a head and grab a drink... I'll be with you In a sec, love." I nod before walking in. People turn to look at me like the first time I came here. A smile spreads on my face as I sit at the bar.

"What can I grab you?" The bar tender says... he is new from the last time I worked here.

"A beer. on the house. and you won't need my ID." I compel him as I sit down on the stool. He nods and goes to grab my beer.

"Angel!" My head turns and I see Damon sat with Alaric.

"Damon... please... help-" I get cut off as an arm wraps around my waist and I turn to Klaus.

"Hey sweetie." the words leave my mouth before I can stop them and tears come to my eyes. Niklaus smirks before pecking my cheek. I feel Damon send daggers at us and I sip my drink.

"Why so glum, gentlemen?" Klaus asks and we look at the pair.

"Klaus. I presume." Damon states as he sips his drink. "angel." I watch as his knuckles turn white.

"Damon... pl-" I start but I can't speak.

"Now now, love, you know the rules." Niklaus says and I look down sipping my beer. "we only came in for a drink and a friendly chat." A tear slips down my face. "thanks for the loner mate." klaus tells Alaric.

"Any reason you stopped by to say hi? With angel." Damon asks, surprisingly calm.

"I'm told you are in love with my first born and your brother Fancies my Doppelgänger." klaus states as his grip tightens at the word, my. "just though id remind you not to do anything you'll regret."

"Thanks for the advice. I don't suppose I could talk you into postponement, by any chance?" Damon asks and I slowly slip my hand into my pocket and pull out a piece of paper and pen. My hands slip to my knees as I look down.

"You are kidding?" Klaus asks and I slowly begin to write. "he is kidding right?"

love you. sorry 4 wants goin 2 hapen. But fear that I have no choice.

"No, not really." Alaric replies and I continue.

I am used to brake the curse. but I love you. angel xx.

"I mean, come one, what's one month in the whole grand scheme of things?" Damon asks and I sip my drink, placing the pen in my pocket. i feel klaus tense next to me.

"Let me get this clear... I have my vampire. I have my werewolf. I have my firstborn. I have everything I need. the ritual will happen tonight. so if you want to live tomorrow, don't screw it up." klaus sneers before turning to me. "say good bye, love, we are going." I nod my head, finishing my drink and then standing.
