Who we need to be to survive. (Emily Gilbert pt. 2)

Memories

"What's wrong?" Eileen asks me. "What are the odds that two people just messaged me for help and one of them is Klaus."

"Oh yeah....you and Klaus have that thing right." She nods and I raise my eyebrows. "Um huh? No that's not a thing." How does she know these things?
She just shrugs. "Whatever you say."

"And who's the other one?" She asks. "I have no idea."

My phone rings again and again and I ignore it because it's Klaus but he just keeps calling.  "You know he's not stopping trust me I've been running from him for decades."

"Okay true i guess." So that's what I do. I head over to Klaus place.

"What the hell is your problem?" I yell walking inside trying to find him.  "Go away." Klause shouts and I follow his voice. "Okay asshole but you're the one who's been blowing up my phone." I finally find him. He's sitting on the floor shirtless leaning on a piano seat or something I freeze. "What happened?"

"need more time. Stop hounding me!" He argues. I scoff. "Hounding you I finally find a way to distance myself from all of you and you find a way to pull me back in so what the fuck is your problem?"

"Emmy is it really you?" He questions. What the hell is going on? He pulls himself up very weakly and leans against the piano. "Prove it." He challenges. "Klaus I really am not in the mood." I run a hand through my hair. "Wait, please." He calls. "Silas. He stabbed me with the white oak stake." He says. "There's a-- a piece of it stuck inside me." Woah. "Why?" I question. "Well, I was in no position to ask questions. Suffice it to say, I'm hurt. So you can understand why I called you." He explains and I scoff. "Really? That's why you called me?" I ask him and continue before he could answer. "Almost all of my family is dead because of you! You tried to have Jeremy run over, then threatened to have Kol kill him and after all of that you think I'm the one to call?"

"If I die, all of your friends die with me." He warns. I shake my head at him. "Wow you're dying and still find some way to act superior." Amd then i sigh. "What do you want me to do?"

"Well, it's quite simple, really. I need you to cut the stake out of me." I follow his gaze to a pair of blood pliers and in that moment I truly feel to throw up. This is disgusting.

Klaus leans against the piano with his back to me and I take a breath before plunging the pliers into his back and he groans. I move the pliers suddenly and he scream and I chuckle . "Well I'm glad you're finding my misery so amusing."

"Thank you." I say and then move it again but this time I take it out. "There's literally nothing in here Klaus you're just wasting my time."

"We both know you've had blood on your hands before Emmy....you can't get your hands a little dirty for me?" He asks. "Be careful what you say to the person who has a pair of pliers in your back." I tell him. "And here I thought we were getting closer." I could just hear his smirk and it pisses me off so much. I jab the pliers into his back and leave it there and he screams and then I step back. "You know what Klaus we are not friends in fact I don't even know why I'm helping you like I'm some kind of fucking help hotline that just runs whenever anyone calls!" I yell.

"I can feel the splinters moving towards my heart. Help me!" He demands. I tilt my head at him and shrug. "Fine....but I've been hearing some things." I tell him. "Like that you're still after Eileen or that You banished Tyler. So let them off the hook and I'll help." I tell him.

"and who's to say I can't just break my promise once you get it out?" He asks. "You're really not helping yourself here Klaus.." I tell him.

I think now I pissed him off and I'm happy about it. "I saved your life. If it wasn't for me you might have died that night!" He shouts. Wow okay that one kind of hurt. "You saved it because you put it in danger in the first place Klaus it doesn't count."
