His protector

2

" ugh , who is this guy , safari sam ", klaus grumbled with a huff as he racked through alarics closet , making arik chuckle from the kitchen counter he was sat at , sipping on a glass of blood as he watched him with amusement as he watched klaus grumble and scowl
" okay , bad or badder ", klaus asks as he showed to dark shirts , one black and one dark purple , and he raises a brow at Kathrine when she doesn't reply , she only glances at arik , believing klaus was speaking to him, but then she looks to klaus , or Alaric once she saw arik smirking at her , as if he knew she was in some sort of trouble for not replying
" the dark colours suit you better ", she mutters under her breathe
" oh , thank you , honey ", he smiles fakley , then his gaze turns to arik , who gives him a soft smile , making the sick smile turn more guenuine on alarics face
"Okay , pop quiz. The dagger and white ash are in the Salvatores possession , correct ", he starts as he pulls an arm through half of the button shirt , a dark blue t shirt under neath his button up
" the dagger was used to kill Elijah . You'll find him in the basement of the Salvatore house ", Kathrine tells him
" okay , that dagger needs to stay exactly where it is . The last thing I need to do ks reserect Elijah . Oh , that guy is a buzz kill ", klaus huffed out
" klaus ", arik frowns at the way he spoke , narrowing his eyes , making the other man purse his lips
" don't forget you're on the outs with your girlfriend , Jenna ", Kathrine added , making ariks frown turn into a scowl of jealousy , for klaus , he was very possessive and he hated it even when his own siblings in law would hug or touch klaus , in or out of his actual body didn't matter
" right , elenas aunt . For , uh , all the lies about Isobel . What else ", he continues as he finished buttoning the shirt and starts walking over to the girl sat in the chair
" that's it ", she gulps , and arik and klaus share a look that only makes her shrink slightly as alarics hand comes down to caress her cheek , making her suck in a trembling breathe and almost flinch away
" oh , so jumpy ", he smirks
"Please just kill me . I've told you everything that I know ", she tremors out , and his smirk widens as he begins to crouch in front of where she's sat
" you see , I believe that you believe that . But what would you not know . What could they be keeping from you , hmm, anything ", he whispers out before she finally makes eye contact with him
" tell me ", he compels
" they were trying to see if Bonnie could find a way to kill an original without a dagger ", she mutters out
" bonnie bennet ", arik asks out with a glare , making her jump from being stood almost right behind her , and klaus glances to him before looking back to Kathrine , who nods slowly , making him stand with a sigh , and arik places both hands on the girls shoulders , making her stiffen , shrinking slightly as she trembled
" I hate fucking Bennett's ", arik grits out , his painted nials digging into kathrines shoulders painfully
" I thought you said she didn't have her powers anymore ", klaus mutters as he crosses his arms over his chest , or alarics chest
" she doesn't or didn't . I -I don't know ", she stammered , trying to keep her voice steady as she spoke , attempting to ignore how painful ariks grip on her shoulders were , she was pretty sure his nails were scraping past her flesh and wouldn't be surprised if she were bleeding
" you kidnapped me , remember. I'm kind of out of the loop ", she grimaced , which went completely ignored by Alaric /klaus
" well, we'll have to get to the bottom of that ", he mutters out in a whisper
" please- just kill me , klaus , and be done with it ", Kathrine breathes out frightened
" and show you kindness .... I've searched for you for over 500 years . Your death is going to last at least half that long ", klaus , or alarics face , smiles cruelly down at her , making her face drop as he slides a pocket knife from his pocket and opening it up
" now , I want you to take this knife ..... and stab yourself ", he whispers out , watching with a sinister fling in his eyes as she reached out and took it slowly , her hands shaking before she went straight in and stabbed right through her thigh , making her groan with her teeth clenched painfully
" now , take it out ", he tells her , a smirk pulling at his lips
" now , while we're gone , I want you to do that over and over and over again . And if you get bored , switch legs ", he smiles down at her almost evilly , and arik removes his clenched hands , nail prints and finger denting along with a few drops of blood healing from where his hands were and he shrugs a jacket on
" and where are you going ", she gets out even toned, but her voice was still soft with fear
" wouldn't you like to know , curious little thing , aren't you , katerina", arik chuckles lowly before he's opening the door , alarics face sending a dark smirk her way before he's leaning through the door , and arik waves with three fingers in a mocking gesture as he shut the door after them , leaving Kathrine to continue stabbing her thighs as they left
............
Arik had walked klaus , in alarics body , to the school , he found it almost amusing that the hybrid had to be a teacher for a day or so , a teacher , and the man himself was sulky about it as well , but it was only one class as far as he was going to do , and that's the one the double ganger , elena , would be in
" -you haven't heard from Jenna have you ", a brunette girl with an identical face to Katherine's asked her little brother as the teen boy stood from where he was seated
" it looks like she's staying on campus . Look , I'm , uh- I'm late for class", the brunette teen says glumly before walking away without a response
" What's going on ", the girl, elena gilbert asks with a confused smile as she sat down
" i told him he had to dress up tonight and he got all .... Uptight ", the dark skinned bennet girl shrugs off with a smile of her own , making elena chuckle , and arik , from where he stood by the exit of the cantine like room , glared at the teen witch darkly , his deep honey like brown eyes glaring a hole into her head as a girl came over to the pair
" hey elena , there you are ", a smiling raven haired girl says happily as she gets the other girls table
" okay , this is gonna sound freaky , but this totally hot guy just asked me to ask you if you're going to the dance tonight ", she gushed happily , making elena scoff a laugh as bonnie , the dark skinned girl , pulled a face
" tell him she has a boyfriend ", bonnie furrows her brows
" you could at least meet him . He'll be at the dance tonight . Look for him , his name is klaus", she grins , not even weirded out by the way elena and Bonnies face drops , and arik sighs under his breathe , of course klaus would compel someone to say he's hot , the egotistical weirdo , and it amused arik , along with the way the girls faces coated with fear at the mention of his husbands name
" I'm sorry , what did you just say ", Elena mutters disbelieving and a slight tremor in fear in her voice
" his name is klaus . .... I know the names stupid but I swear he's hot ", the girl tries to continue gushing over the man
" where is he , is he here ", bonnie asks as she starts to look around , furrowing her brows as she looks at where arik stood , somehow getting strong energy from where he stood but couldn't actually see him so she just continued to glance around
" I don't know ", the girl mutters , her brows furrowing slightly in confusion , making Bonnies face drop as she looks at her
" she's been compelled ", she sighs
................
" ah , your right , this witch is all juiced up and aiming to kill ", klaus grumbles as he made his way around the small apartment
" that's terrible ", Kathrine mutters
" we're going to have to kill her, Maddox . Now , do you think this Alaric guy has anything vintage ", he sighs as he starts to go through the man's draws , and ariks lips twitch up
" we're vintage, darling ", he smirks over at him , making klaus , with alarics voice , chuckle
" no , that's just you , I'm still half you age , love , quiet literally —— crossbows , wooden bullets and automatics , who is this guy , again", he scowls as he turns around with a crossbow in his hand
" he's the local vampire hunter ", Kathrine tells him
" ah , well , that explains the clothing ", he clenched his jaw as he tosses the crossbow to the floor in disgust
" this is all I could find . Guy likes his bourbon ", Maddox says , passing the drink he made over to the man as he came over
" I knew there was something about him I liked-
" I still don't like him ", arik scowls bitterly as he eyed the body klaus was in
" I know , you've said many times , love ", klaus sighs as he gulped down the liquor in one go and placed the glass back down , looking to Maddox , confusing Kathrine greatly why he wouldn't just get advice and help from arik since he was a witch , wasn't he
" there's a high school dance ...and I'm gonna need you to take out the witch bitch ", he tells him , and arik perks up with a twisted smile
" I'll do it ", he volunteered , making klaus look over to him before looking to Maddox with raised brows
" if she has that much power , she'd be able to sense me coming from a mile away . I won't be able to get near her , you have to do it ", Maddox tells him , then eyeing arik as well
" in this body -
" klaus , we can both kill her , stop being such a brat and let's get it over with ", arik sighs , and alarics gaze snaps over to him with a glare
" I'm not a brat , take that back , take it back right now -
" no ", arik glared back , and Alaric grunted as he looked away
" either way , I'm in the body of a haggard teacher . She could easily hurt me , I mean , not me , klaus me , but you know what I mean ", he frowns out as he tries to think
" no witch could handle channeling that much power .-
" I could ", arik smirks , getting a sigh from Maddox as he glanced over to the other man
" it'll kill her , it would kill me . You just have to make her use it ", Maddox finishes with a smirk of his own coming on to his lips
"You mean , like , provoking her to death ", Alaric raises a brow
" it won't take long . Just keep attacking her until it kills her . His body . Alarics will last longer than hers will ", Maddox continues
" how , he's human ", klaus questions under his breathe , and Maddox fully smirks
"I can help in that department . I can do a spell to protect you ", he says to him
" then , we can finally get you in your own body ", arik adds with a dark smile , his rings making a clattering noise as he taps his fingers on the counter
" so , what do you say , want to be my partner in crime for tonight's special , my love ", klaus grins as he turns to arik , who blinks at him
" I'd never have it any other way , darling "
