Claim My Heart

Chapter  8

“Where the hell have you been?!”

I had barely opened the door when it was ripped open out of my grasp and the words were spoken. Looking around me I found everyone sat around the kitchen, some with worry etched on their faces but it was Stefan that had my attention. He looked livid as he waited for an answer to his question.

“Well?” he persisted as i walked past him on my way from the room, only to find my path blocked by Stefan. He had moved so quickly that I hadn’t see him until he was directly in front of me.

“I already told you. I went out to get some fresh air.” I sighed.

“And you couldn’t have done that in the garden? Where did you go?”

“Would you like the truth or a lie because you aren’t gonna like the truth?”

“I pick lie.”

Everyone turned to look at Damon with looks of shock and confusion. I almost laughed at the sight.

“What? Take it from me, sometimes the truth isn’t pretty. And it’s easier to lie, you get less stupid questions and no one is angry at you.” He explained with a smirk.

“Damon, now is not the time for jokes. This is serious.”

“Oh, I was being serious.” He shot me a wink. I’m guessing that he had forgiven me for before.

Stefan sighed knowing that he couldn’t win with Damon and instead turned back to me.

“Just tell us where you were. And the truth.” He added as I went to open my mouth.

“I went to see Niklaus.” I stated.

“You did what?! Nikki, he’s dangerous.”

“You should know, you toured around with him killing as many humans as you could, ripper.” The voice spoke through me again.

Everyone looked at me with shock.

“Look, I’m sorry I didn’t mean that. It’s just Nik was the only one who could tell me what I am.”

“Nik? How cosy did you get with him?” Tyler questioned me.

“Not as close as your girlfriend did, hybrid.” The voice spoke again and I put my hands over my mouth in shock. I can’t believe she just said that.

“What did you say?” His eyes turned amber as he moved towards me.

I stumbled backwards and moved to the other side of the table as tears started to well up in my eyes.

“I didn’t, I-I, sorry. I can’t stop her.”

Out of nowhere Damon grabbed Tyler, restraining him.

“Her? Who are you talking about?” he asked cocking his head to the side slightly.

“The voice. She’s in my head, she talks to me, she can control what I do and what I say.”

“How long have you heard her?”

“Since I came here and had the first dream.”

“Why did you go to Klaus?” I was starting to think that this was an interrogation.

“Because at the grill I knew Niklaus’ name?”

“So?”

“I’ve never met him before and he never told me his name. I just knew it, it was like I knew him but I never met him. I realised that it was her who knew him not me so I figured if she knew him then he had to know her.”

“And what did Klaus say?”

“Well she almost got us killed but Elijah stopped Nik from killing us.”

“Wait Elijah was there?”

“And Kol and Rebekah.”

“Great just what we need, the Mikaelson’s are back in town.”

Mikaelson? I knew that name, I remember it from somewhere. But where?

“So what did Klaus say?”

“I explained everything that had happened and he said he knew what I was but for him to tell me and help me I would have to owe him one favour in return.”

“Did you take up his offer?”

“No, I asked for a week to decide. I didn’t think that it would be the best thing to be indebted to Nik.”

“Yeah, you got that right. I’ve seen him kill just for the fun of it.” Tyler muttered.

“Isn’t that what vampires do?”

“No, we have a choice. Not all of us are that sadistic.” Stefan told me.

“Speak for yourself, Saint Stefan. It’s fun, you should remember.” Damon teased.

“Enough, Damon. Those times are behind us now.” Elena spoke.

“I’m sorry about what I said. She doesn’t like vampires.”

With the tension in the room cleared we sat down and food was placed in front of everyone but the vampires.

“Wait, Stefan didn’t cook this did he?” I asked looking at the food cautiously.

“Shut up, it wasn’t that bad.” Stefan groaned and we all looked at him like he was mad.

“No, I did.” Damon told me.

“Is that any better?” I asked him.

“Try it and see.” He smirked.

I looked at the food trying to decide whether it was worth the risk. Everyone seemed to be waiting for me to try it first. I felt like a lab rat.

“If I die, I’m coming back to haunt your ass.” I grumbled as I took a bite.

I scrunched up my eyes waiting for the taste of dead dog but my eyes widened when not only was it edible, it was the best thing I had ever tasted in my life. I moaned at the taste of it.

“See, kitten. I’ve got you moaning and I haven’t even touched you yet.” His smirk was bigger than ever.

“I’ll let that comment pass if you promise to be my personal cook from now on.”

“Not gonna happen.”

“Fine just let me eat this and then I’ll kick your ass.” I told him.

“As if you could, kitten. And just remember I could always send you back to your dad.”

“Damon!” Stefan looked at him sharply but I wasn’t listening.

“That’s it.” I whispered.

“What?”

“Hey, Damon. Do you think you could take me to my Father’s?”

“You want to go back?” He looked at me astounded.

“What? No! There’s something there that I need to get.”

“Hmm, fine, I suppose. But you’d better be quick.”

“We’ll be in and out I promise.”

“That’s it?” everyone looked at me strangely as we grouped around the table.

“You went back there for a couple of books?”

“These aren’t just books. These could help us figure out what I am and find out more about the Mikaelson’s.”

When they looked at me curiously I continued.

“As soon as you said that name I knew I’d heard it somewhere and then when Damon mentioned my father’s house it all clicked. I had read about them.”

Maybe I wouldn’t need Nik after all.

 I could find out what I was all by myself.

Ha, take that, Niklaus.
