warning injury, angst

“shit, shit, shit, shit!” klaus seethed as he ran to your family’s apartment. he continued his mantra as he climbed up the familiar fire escape and peered into your window. your room was dark. “fuck!” he yelled before returning to the first word he was spewing as he climbed back down.

he could hear screams getting louder and louder as they drew closer to him.

“shit! where the hell is she?” he exclaimed, grabbing at his hair in frustration.

“klaus! did you get y/n?” allison asked as she approached. he shook his head frantically. “okay, i have an idea, but we gotta run!”

they broke into a sprint as allison whipped out her phone.

“okay, i should’ve thought of that one!” he yelled over the whipping wind as she dialed your number and brought the phone to her ear.

“allison? what’s going on?!” you exclaimed frantically, loud enough for klaus to hear.

“y/n, where are you?” she asked.

“i was at the park when i saw a building crash,” you explained. “im still here. is everyone okay?”

“i-i don’t know,” she said. “just stay where you are!” she hung up quickly.

“the park is four blocks opposite of us!” klaus yelled. “how are we gonna get there before he does?”

“i can get you there,” a begrudging voice sighed before they were both grabbed. next thing they knew, they were at the park. five let go of them before muttering, “sayonara,” and was off again.

“allison! klaus!” you exclaimed when you saw them. everyone else was fleeing the park as you ran toward them. “what on earth is going on? where’s ben?”

“yeah about that,” klaus panted, pointing toward the mass coming toward all of you. “that’s him.”

your eyes widened as you realized it truly was ben, his tentacles guiding him high throughout the city, destroying everything in its path. “oh, ben..”

“we gotta go!” klaus exclaimed, grabbing your arm and starting toward the opposite direction of ben.

then there was a crash behind you, and allison squeaked, “too late.” the shadow loomed over all of you, making you cling to klaus’s arm in fright. in the center of it all, ben’s expression was neutral, eyes glowing as tentacles swarmed frantically around the park, looking for something to grab onto and break. you took a shaky breath, trying your best to keep yourself together.

allison stepped forward bravely. “i heard a rumor-!” she was cut off when she was grabbed around the stomach, mercilessly swung through the air by a tentacle as she yelped.

klaus shouted, “ben, stop!” he screamed when a tentacle hit the ground right in front of him, leaping back. “well, it was worth a shot.” then he was scooped up, as well, screaming as he was whipped through the air.

you backed up in absolute fear, your blood running cold. you tripped over the edge of the playground, falling on your butt onto the mulch with a yelp. you immediately braced yourself to get snatched up, but it didn’t help how your breath was immediately knocked out of your lungs when you were grabbed.

you attempted to gasp for breath when you were lifted higher into the air, but the tentacle was directly wrapped around your hips and abdomen. you braced your hands on the appendage, trying to pull yourself out of the grasp even a little bit, but it was no use. you attempted a gasp again, instead choking on your breath.

you felt yourself getting lightheaded and you began hyperventilate, tears coming to your eyes. you let out a stuttering sob when the appendage squeezed you harder, making your legs numb. and everything stopped.

you didn’t bother to open your eyes as you felt yourself stop moving. the tentacle began to loosen its hold and you gasped desperately for air, tears flowing freely down your face. when you opened your eyes, you were directly in front of ben. his eyes were no longer glowing. and he looked absolutely heartbroken.

you looked back when you heard allison yell, seeing she had been dropped safely onto a bush. she breathed in relief just before klaus landed less than gracefully on top of her. you looked back over to ben just as the tentacle lowered you to the ground and then retracted back into his stomach with the rest.

your lungs and ribs ached, and you immediately fell into a kneel when you touched the ground. allison came running up behind you, placing a hand on your back as a cough wracked your body. as you coughed and gasped, she looked up to see ben had touched ground, panting and covered in sweat and tears.

his eyes were the widest they had ever seen, filled with heartbreak and regret as he looked upon your sobbing form. allison nodded him over, but he didn’t move. he shook his head at her. she gave him a look. hesitantly and slowly, he walked over.

klaus had knelt next to you, placing a hand on your shoulder as you gathered yourself. when ben stopped in front of you, you looked up at him. but instead of looking terrified and disgusted, your expression was filled with concern. you hopped to your feet, and even though your legs wobbled, you threw yourself at him.

he caught you in his arms. despite his surprise, he couldn’t help but hug you back tightly and securely.

“are you alright?” you whispered in his ear. he nodded.

“yeah,” he sniffed. “im sorry. im so, so sorry.”

you just hugged him tighter. you whispered with a sniff, “it’s okay. it’s all gonna be okay.”

and though his heart was full for you in that moment, he knew that wouldn’t last long. he still had to face his father after that.
