The Choice - A Klaus Mikaelson Love Story

Attacked by a blonde bombshell

Stepping out of my car I looked up at the bar and rolled my eyes at the name “Mystic Grill seriously? Well I can see this town still has no originality” I muttered under my breath. When I entered the grill I could feel all eyes stare at me, it was a small town where everyone knows everyone so when a stranger enters the local bar you do tend to stare a bit.

I just smirked as I walked over to the bar, “Vodka coke” I said glancing at the bar tender Matt his name tag read, I was about to compel him to give my drink for free but I got a waft if vervain coming off him, it seemed as though this town really hadn’t changed that much at all.

I sat back on my stool and let my eyes wander over the faces of the people in the bar, when I looked at the end of the bar I noticed a very familiar head of blonde hair, I instantly smirked and got up off my seat and walked behind the blonde bombshell. “You know I’ve known you for a long time but I never would have thought that I would see you in this back water town it still surprises me that I’m here”

I watched as she tensed when she heard my voice but she soon regained composure and without even looking up at me she said “Yes well we all do drastic things for our brothers which is why I’m guessing you’re in town”

I pouted “C’mon Beks don’t I even get a hug? I haven’t seen you since the 20’s when you were sleeping with my brother, we have a lot of catching up to do”

Suddenly I was engulfed in a huge hug “Shut up okay? I’m having a bad day and you can’t tease me about sleeping with your brother, if my memory serves me right you were doing the exact same thing with mine” I smiled as she finally released me from her death-hug “And am I right assuming that you are here for your brothers?” she asked

“Of course you’re right when are you not? And I’m guessing they pissed off your family because apparently they are in deep shit so they decided to call me to help them out because they can’t go anywhere without someone trying to kill them.” I replied and the look on her face told me I was right.

“Yes they seem to be very good at pissing of my family particularly Nik. Did you know that they have both fallen for the doppelgänger?” Bekah said.

“Seriously? So what’s she like because I value no one’s opinion higher than yours, is she stringing my brothers along like Katie did?” I asked dreading the answer to come.

“Personally I think she’s a bitch, I tried trusting her but she stabbed me in the back, literally! White oak ash and all. Yes she is stringing both your brothers along and the worst part she won’t even admit she’s doing it, I hate to say it but I think I prefer Katherine” Bekah exclaimed.

I sighed this always happened one brother falls for the doppelgänger then so does the other one and they become so caught up in being with her and protecting her they forget about everything else, Damon obsessiveness to get Katherine out of the tomb is partly why I left him.

Flashback New York 1974

“Why are we still here Damon? I’m bored of New York, in fact I’m bored of America why can’t we just leave and go to Europe?” I groaned slumped out on the sofa.

We’d been in New York for 8 months now and there is only so much you can do before you die of boredom. I hated staying in one place for too long I was always bored easily as a child and that trait hasn’t changed. I’d been travelling with Damon for about 5 years now it was fun but he keeps trying to get Katherine out of the tomb and won’t even listen to me when I say that she’s not even in there, love struck fool.

I don’t hate Katherine for stringing my brothers along it’s just who she is she’s a slut and a bitch but she is also like my sister and I met up with her a couple of decades ago which is how I know she is not in the tomb but still until Damon opens the tomb and sees for himself that she isn’t there he won’t believe it.

“Would you just shut up?!” Damon shouted I shrunk back in the sofa I hated it when we fought and we seemed to be doing it more often than ever recently. “If you want to leave so much then just leave, I’m not leaving till I can find a way to get Katherine out of the tomb” Damon said in a venomous tone.

“OH MY GOD WOULD YOU JUST GIVE UP SHE IS NOT IN THE TOMB SHE NEVER HAS BEEN JUST STOP LOOKING ALREADY YOU’RE ONLY GOING TO END UP HEARTBROKEN” I shouted at him he was really starting to piss me off. What happened to family stick together forever but that obviously doesn’t count if you’re a family of vampires who don’t even speak to each other half the time.

“KATHERINE IS IN THE TOMB I SAW HER GET CAPTURED IT’S WHY I DIED” Damon shouted back he really couldn’t face up to the truth.

“IF SHE’S IN THE TOMB THEN WHY DID I MEET UP WITH HER 10 YEARS AGO THEN?”

“SHUT UP! YOU’RE LYING” Damon denied

“WHY WOULD I LIE TO YOU YOU’RE THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE” I could feel tears rolling down my cheeks our fights had never become this heated before and I was scared of the outcome.

“GET OUT!” Damon screamed at me.

“What?” I whispered I couldn’t believe my own brother was telling me to leave.

“You heard me get out, leave, go away I don’t want to see you for another 50 years” Damon had lowered his voice from shouting.
His word stung me like bee stings. I couldn’t believe he had just said that and by the look on his face neither could he.

“Luce-“Damon started but I cut him off

“No Damon you’re right I should just leave there’s nothing here for me anymore” Damon winced as my words hit him. I got up from my place on the sofa and grabbed all my important things leaving only clothes and a few bits that I had collected over the year. I could buy more clothes.
I looked at my brother one last time before turning and walking out the door.

That was the last time I had seen my brother, I wish I had been around when he opened the tomb and saw that Katherine wasn’t there just to say I told you so. I looked up and saw a note and a fresh glass of vodka.

You looked deep in thought so I didn’t want to disturb you. Nik rang I’m needed at the house drink the vodka, it’s on me, then go visit your brothers you can’t stay mad at them forever and you might have a little alcohol confidence. Fix things with your brothers then come round mine tomorrow we need to go shopping.

P.S. If you see the doppelgänger bitch, slap her for me.

I laughed at the last bit I would gladly slap her if she’s anything like I’ve been told.
I downed my vodka feeling the alcohol burn down my throat and walked out the bar to my car. Bekah was right, I had been avoiding my brothers for too long it’s time for a little family reunion.
