Klaus' POV:-

I hate traveling. Damn you, Katerina. I'll make sure to feed your body to rats! I stood before the dressing table examining the stuff that I am sure I would never use.

"Niklaus. What are you up to? ", my brother called out. I saw his reflection in the mirror but didn't turn back.

" Find Katerina. Of course brother. " I grinned.

"After that? " Elijah asked standing a bit too stiff.

"Wait for the next doppelganger. ", I sighed.

" Our siblings? ", he voiced again.

" I'll think about it. ", I asserted. " Later. "

Elijah didn't respond to that."Good night.", I simply said and while he  made his way to his room. I threw the stuff at the table and noticed a few wood carvings on the table. 'Not very sculptured .', I thought to myself.

Authors pov :

Stefan decided to stop by Katherine's. But when he knocked on the door, he was greeted by a heavy silence. Stefan assumed she fell asleep and retreated. When he turned around Damon was inches away from him.

"Damon? ", Stefan gasped a bit startled at the sudden interference.

" Hello brother. ", Damon grinned.

" Miss.Katherine is most probably sleeping. Maybe you should come back later. ", Stefan suggested and took a few steps backward.

" Right. She didn't tell you. She left a few hours ago, brother. Guess you were too busy with something. ", Damon filled in feeling a bit proud that Katherine told only him her goodbyes. It hurt him to let her go, but to make her stay was out of his powers.

" Oh.", was everything, Stefan could say at the moment.

"Where were you? ", Damon asked out finally.

" At the forest. It's... It's Tucker. ", Stefan dragged unable to complete the sentence but Damon understood.

" You were burying him?!", Damon asked a bit shocked at the revelation. Who would bury such a big horse?!

"Yeah. I thought, he deserved as much. ", Stefan returned quickly defending himself.

" That... That's creepy. Anyways, Sleep brother. It's almost 2. ", Damon spoke. He knew Tucker was Stefan's most favourite living being. Yes more than himself. He didn't want to press anything. Stefan was an easy cryer.

" Yes. Good night Damon. ", Stefan greeted from his teeth before marching towards his room.

That's when he bumped into Klaus.

{You know the rest. Note:- It's the second chapter. }

*present day*

Setting: Hotel

Stefan curled into himself on a couch caught up with his own mind. His green eyes were unfocused. Klaus obviously knew him. But how? Was he being compelled by him??

Klaus entered the room without even knocking.

" We have to get going. ", he more or less ordered. Stefan shot up from the couch and confronted him again.

" Who. Are. You. ", Stefan asked threateningly dying for answers.

" I'll tell you when you're not in an angry mood like now. ", Klaus simply said.

"You. You are compelling me, aren't you?", Stefan asked again. But it was just a statement.

Klaus didn't respond. "I'm telling you the last time. We. Have. To. Go. ", he asserted instead. Stefan sighed in defeat and complied.

★★★

After traveling for some distance, Stefan distanced himself from Klaus and texted his brother again, hoping he would reply fast.

S- Damon. I think he's compelling me.

He texted and waited for some time. In a few minutes, the phone vibrated with an incoming text.

D- Into sleeping with him??

Stefan didn't know his text would translate like that. He panicked a little. Was he compelled to... Sleep with Klaus. He didn't know at this point. He'd never thought it that way.

S- Maybe.

D- Stefan! Are you sure??

S- I don't know! I saw a letter in Klaus's belongings this morning. It was a letter written by him to me.

D- Klaus, if this is you I swear I WILL kill you.

S- Damon. It is me. And there was this painting.

Stefan had managed to get a photo of the picture. He sent it to his brother.

D- You got to be kidding me! You are obviously human in that!

S- Yes.

D- Damn it, Stefan!

S- Can you look into this. I don't know how to move on with this... As much as I don't want to admit it, I'm a bit scared.

D- Did you read the letter?

S- Yes. It was a birthday wish.

D- A birthday wish?! Seriously?!

S- Yeah. He was apologizing for not being to be there with me. That's.... Creepy.

D- Ookkaay. Nice pickle you've put yourself in you idiot!

S- I have to go.

Stefan quickly texted and shut his phone off.
