Damon In the Dark

More Questions?

"Where would Damon go Katerina?" Klaus growled holding her aggressively against the wall of Alaric's apartment. As he held her there his face changed to match his very much outraged tone. His eyes turned to gold with veins spreading out from his eyes and a set of double canines took form as he bared his teeth at her. 

"I-I-I- I don't know. I haven't been around him for over a hundred years. He could be anywhere." Klaus shook his head in anger at her before lunging forward and biting her.

 "Not good enough. You will be dead in less than a day if you do not tell me where you think he could be. Where would he have gone to when he was human Katerina? You will tell me right now or I will make sure your last day will be met with endless suffering."

 Suddenly the door to the apartment flew open behind him and Klaus didn't even have to look to tell you who it was. "Not a good time brother. Katerina and I are in the middle of a meeting. Do come back later, when we are finished."

Katherine held in a whimper as she was held under Klaus's furious gaze. She wasn't afraid of much but Klaus certainly terrified her. It seemed she only had two options, either she betrayed Damon to Klaus or she died knowing she had bought him time.

 No matter how little time her death would give him. Looking behind Klaus's shoulder she saw Elijah looking between the two of them. She hadn't been around him for over a hundred years and yet, she could still tell when he was trying to make sense of something. 

"What meeting would that be Niklaus? I was under the impression you wished for Katerina to live." A laugh shook Klaus's foreboding form at Elijah's words before he fixed her with a chilling glare. "Where?" he growled out at her.

Swallowing thickly Katherine realised the hope she had held that Elijah would save her was pointless. The hope had been that Elijah would save her if only to kill her later on for betraying him. 

With Elijah Katherine knew she could have at least played on the feelings he had once held for her. There was nothing she could play on when it came to Klaus and that meant selling out Damon was her only chance at survival. If there was one thing she was better at than everyone else, it was surviving no matter the cost.

 "There was a place in Chicago that his father left for him. I don't know more than that it was on the outskirts of the city though. Somewhere in the woods. Zachariah Lockwood told me about it in 1864 but, it would be falling apart right now. It's more than likely that the place is falling apart by now." Klaus looked as if he was contemplating her words.

Slitting his wrist with a quick and careful movement he forced his blood down her throat. The bite on her neck disappeared as soon as the blood hit her system and left her skin completely unmarred of any damage.

 "Niklaus?" The question tore Klaus out of his thoughts on Damon and the chances of finding him in the middle of nowhere on the outskirts of Chicago. Perhaps he would be there or perhaps Katerina was right and he would find nothing more than an old abandoned refuge.

 First he would have to deal with Elijah though and boy was he not looking forward to that. At first he was planning to do nothing but dagger his brother and put him with the rest of his siblings. 

That would not be possible anymore, not with Damon missing and with him having no idea where to find his wayward mate.

He had been thinking about Damon a lot since he had broken his curse and much as he tried to ignore it he couldn't help but feel slightly guilty. Klaus realised he should have probably tried to be kinder to Damon at first.

 He had been so happy and angry at him when he had seen him first though. When he had found his mate in town he had been elated for now he had someone strong and powerful to stand by his side. Damon was weak and pathetic though with only a hundred and sixty seven years behind him.
