The Eldest Salvatore Sibling - Klaus Mikaelson

Chapter 25 - Start of a New Life

Aurora

I tell the Mikaelson siblings about my first trip to the underworld and they all sat around in absolute fascination. I detailed all of the grotesque bodies that brought themselves to me. Naturally, as their next leader, they were drawn to prove themselves to me. 

"So wait, let me get this straight, you're technically only half related to the Salvatore brothers?" Kol whispers as I take a sip of my freshly topped up glass of wine. I look at him and raise my eyebrow. 

"Out of everything I just told you, you finally realise the one thing I stated at the start of everything?" I questioned as Rebekah tries to hold back her giggle and Elijah tries to keep a straight face. Klaus on the other hand just slaps Kol on the back and laughs are deep whole-hearted laugh. I shake my head at them and take another sip from my glass. 

"Okay so, whats the plan? Are you going to take over Hell? Do we get to help?" Rebekah asks, bouncing up and down in her seat with excitement. I sigh and put my glass on the bedside table and play with my fingers. 

"I wish it were that easy. If I took over Hell, I would never be able to come up to Earth. I would be forever damned to spend the rest of time down there until I had an offspring that could overthrow me." I shrugged as if it were a simply bit of knowledge. I see Klaus frown beside me and Rebekah go deep in thought. 

"You said that your father thinks you are too powerful to remain here, what is that supposed to mean?" Rebekah finally asks. I shrug and pick up my wine glass again. 

"It means, that there is nobody on this Earth that could come within an inch of taking my life. I am too strong to be here. In the downstairs world, I have fair competition there where I could let me beast take full control without worrying about burning the earth to a crisp." I speak into my glass before throwing back the entire contents of it. 

Rebekah gasps as Elijah ponders what I just said. 

"How strong are you exactly?" Elijah mutters as he takes a seat on the chair beside the bed. I sigh, not really wanting to answer the question. In fear I may bruise their egos a little bit. 

"Let's use Klaus for example, given he is the strongest of you four. Excluding Finny. Klaus could not in any way, shape, or form, beat me in any form of combat. Including an arm wrestle. I am near 40 Klaus's in one person." I speak, flexing my fingers out towards Klaus as I use his strength as a point in my strength. His eyebrows raise in disbelief and a smirk washes over his features. 

"Arm wrestle it is!" Rebekah laughs and claps her hands as Klaus leaves the bed to organise a table for us. I roll my eyes and watch as Kol tries to give his brother pointers on how to beat me. I stand up slowly and stretch out my arms and legs from having been curled into one position most of the night. 

"Alright, all set. Come on over here, strong lady." Kol laughs and waves me over to the makeshift table they used from one of the bed side tables. I shake my head and kneel down, preparing for Klaus's temper tantrum. 

"Okay, when I win, run out of the room cause Nikky boy is gonna have a meltdown." I snort as I grip Klaus's open hand in mine. Kol puts his hand over the top of ours and counts down from three. 

As soon as Kol takes his hand away from our hands, Klaus's is already down. I eye him as I watch for his temper to rise. Klaus stares at his hand in shock as he tries to lift it from my hold. I watch as his muscles strain.

"God damn, it's like trying to lift something that's bolted you to the spot." Klaus keeps trying to lift his arm from the table, with no luck and I slowly unwrap my hand from his, finger by finger. As time went on, Klaus ended up trying to lift his hand against my pointer finger, which was now jabbed into the center of his palm. 

"What the fuck? You have more power in a single finger than I do in my entire arm!" Klaus yells as he continues to try and lift his arm, to no avail. I laugh and take my finger away suddenly, making Klaus punch himself full force in the face. I cover my mouth as I watch his nose trickle a bit of blood. 

Rebekah, Kol and Elijah all run out of the room as the first drop of blood falls onto the floor. I smile as he looks up at me, mischief circling behind his eyes. I shake my head and stand up, preparing myself to run too.

"You know, I've always found it fun to be chased." I smile down at Klaus and take off. I laugh to myself as I hear Klaus laugh loudly from the bedroom I just raced from. I zip around the mansion, finding each of the siblings and pulling them into the chase with me. I giggle as I grab Rebekah, pulling her behind me as we ran outside. 

"Quick, to the old shed!" Bekah laughs and leads me quickly to an old barn that sat rotting behind the mansion, an eye sore that has been hidden by beauty. I dash behind her and listen as Klaus tackles one of his brothers, laughter floating around the mansion while Bekah and I make an escape. 

Rebekah quickly opens the barn doors and ushers me in. "Nik never remembers that this is here, he was never one to look at things that weren't worth his time." 

I cover my mouth as a giggle threatens to be released. Rebekah closes the barn doors behind us and we jump up to the highest point in the building, making the support beams groan in protest at the extra weight. There was a big opening in the ceiling and I watched in happiness as Klaus and his brothers ran past every window in the mansion. Laughing and joking around as they did so. 

"I haven't seen Niklaus like this since before we were all turned." Rebekah whispers sadly. I turn to her and smile a small smile, showing that I understood how she felt. My brothers were no walk in the park either, but they were my brothers, and I would do anything to make them happy again. How they were happy before they met Katherine. 

"Welcome to our family, Rory."
