Little Angels

Prologue

I still remember it.

Every. Single. Second.

The way my heart skipped a beat as I saw him kissing her neck. how the warm, salty tears trickled down my face.

I vowed never to look at him; again no matter what he said to try to fix it.

I watched the entire time through a crack in the ensuite door, staring as he pulled her against his chest, not once breaking their lips apart.

A small part of me knew that Klaus wasn't the committing type.

I think everyone knew that, but I loved him and I ironically thought he loved me too

He pulled her closer, kissing head to toe, each kiss cracking my heart a little bit more at a time until I couldn't handle it anymore.

I pushed open the rustic white window, and opened it as far as it could go, just to realise that I could barely fit toilet paper roll out of it, let alone my whole body.

I pushed at the hinges trying to get them to move further out but they wouldn't budge. I couldn't tell if it was the browny orange colored rust on the bolts or the ivy climbing up over the walls of the mansion.

I collapsed in the corner. I guess I knew it was a waste of time, but I couldn't stand being in the same room as that cheating bastard; ever again.

How long was I down there? I don't know but I was starting to hear voices in my head, louder each time.

'Leave him, it's not like he loved you anyways!'

I thought about packing my stuff or even taking some money but I knew I couldn't do it without Klaus finding out.

Not even Elijah could save me.

It's thoughts like these that lead you to make the best and worst decisions of your life.

I could lose everything I had, everything that I had worked so hard for, or I could live my life a lie pretending that I had seen nothing that day.

That it was all just a bad dream; but no matter how much I tried, I couldn't bring myself to ignore what had happened. Not even Rebekah, however much love blinded her.

It was that day that I left.

Most people would have left a note; a way for him to know that I left with an explanation, but he didn't deserve it. Bex would tell him anyway.

I was in that bathroom for half an hour until I was sure they were asleep.

I creeped out, to see him in our bed. The girl was long gone, and I fled immediately, leaving behind so many people that I had grown to love and adore over the years. So many memories that I had made, all it took was one bad one to turn everything around.

Leaving was hard.

It wasn't just Klaus; it was Elijah, Rebekah, and even Kol who had barely undaggered before I left.

Klaus was the reason he was put into that slumber, one of his many red flags alongside his possessiveness over me.

Sometimes I wondered if there was a dagger for me he'd use it.

The next few days I stayed at a hotel just outside of Mystic Falls to gather a few things that Tyler had snuck out for me; every time he was forced to see Klaus.

He was forced Because of his pain in the ass sire bond.

It was just one of the things Klaus loved doing in his spare time. Watching Tyler desperately try to control himself.

I had barely scraped a small bag of stuff as Tyler had to be careful not to get caught, nevertheless, I had some clothes at least and a few photos, as well as a bit of money for a hotel that Elena had lent me.

I promised I'd pay her back but she was quite adamant I didn't need to. She hated Klaus and loved the fact she could go against him and piss him of as much as possible

The days after that were a blur of ubers and shitty hotels.

One driver had "accidentally" grabbed my ass instead of the $10 note in my hand.

The other was a blonde girl with hot red lipstick that overlines her constantly talking lips.

It was the last one that got me confused. He was a sturdy man; about 26 to 27 years old. He had a nice Audi and claimed that his name was Nate. The entire drive we just sat in silence till we got to the hotel. He was quite fidgety constantly looking down at his severely cracked phone.

"Hey are you okay," I asked with a concerned tone.

He didn't reply.

Instead, he just stared at me with horror in his dark eyes, terrified. I started to text Klaus, before remembering that I couldn't call him for help anymore. I started to panic. I had never had to defend myself like this before.

"What would Klaus do? He would kill him." I muttered under my breath before opening the car door.

The wind bashed against it and it tried to shut again, but the man kept driving so I jumped. What a dick

My body hit the hard concrete path next to the road, as I watched the car speed into the distance before crashing into a nearby tree. I smirked as I reached for my flask full of ice-cold vampire blood to heal the cuts and bruises that now littered my body.

My bag had fallen out when I first opened the door so I stumbled over having to hold on to tiny little branches of the overgrown bushes just next to where I had landed. It was about 40 metres away from me, getting closer by the minute as I walked towards it.

I picked it up, tossed it over my shoulder and started to walk along the road to New York, the city that never sleeps. About 10 minutes into my walk I had already eaten all the food in my bag and thrown most of it up. My feet were sore and my throat was drier than the Sahara desert as I sat on the side of the road waving for a cab, or just anyone to help.

After a while of waving my hand for a cab stopped for me, I didn't even bother to see if he was sketchy I just gave him the address and fell asleep in the backseat.

As we made our way through the city I started to wake up. It was already dark but the city was still very much alive. It wasn't the concrete jungle Klaus described it as it was vibrant, full of colour, and light like nothing I had seen before.

Eventually, I made it to New york I had a small apartment that used to belong to Mr. Lockwood for his work and meetings. It was a small two-bedroom apartment with 2 bedrooms, basic and modern. It was amazing. way better than I expected, and I sighed as I laid my head on the couch kicking my trainers off onto the floor, eyelids heavy.

I stared out the window into the magnificent city. I've done it. I've escaped the Miklesons.
