A Battle For My Heart (Klaus Mikaelson Love Story)

Chapter 25: Farewell

I ran around New Orleans looking for Klaus. I checked the church, the quarter, the bar, where else could he be? I wasn't going to stop until I found him. Then my phone started ringing.

"Hello." I said.

"Leighanne its Elijah. We have a problem, a witch cast a spell on the cemetery and when an original goes in, they can't come out, and I believe that Niklaus is on his way here." Elijah spoke calmly.

"Uh I'm on my way." I said.

"Leighanne don-"

I ended the call, avoiding Elijah's protectiveness over me. He didn't want me to go to the cemetery. But if it meant protecting Marcel then so be it.

As I ran through the cold empty streets, I was finally at the cemetery gates. I stopped running and walked. I heard a voice, and it was a loud one.

"REBEKAH! REBEKAH! CHERISH THE BREATH THAT IS IN YOUR LUNGS, IT'LL BE YOUR LAST! REBEKAH!" Niklaus was in the cemetery. Once an original is in they can't come out. That means Rebekah, Elijah and Klaus are stuck in here until a witch takes the spell down. Being stupid I ran inside. I stopped behind Klaus, he didn't notice me.

"Sister run." Elijah said to Rebekah.

"DON'T MOVE!" Klaus yelled.

"He's got the white oak stake Elijah." Rebekah said, scared and worried.

"Hey Klaus it's-"

I was on the ground.

"What the bloody hell are you doing here?" He asked with the stake to my throat.

"I came to save you from your own stubbornness." I said. He got off me and stood up.

"Leighanne go now." Elijah said.

"I'm not leaving." I said.

Klaus dodged toward Rebekah but Elijah stood in his way. I watched the two brothers fight. Rebekah ran into a burial chamber. I went around back and into the chamber with Rebekah.

"What do you want you bloody villain?" Rebekah asked not looking at me.

"I'm here to help you." I said.

"Yeah right, just like you're here to save Nik. He can't be saved, stop trying to fix what can't be fix. I've tried for many years and nothing. Once you betray him you're nothing to him. I'm his sister and he wants to kill me. You're just one of his toys that he shacks up with, he WILL kill you." She cried.

"He will get over it. Klaus won't kill you, family is everything to him." I said.

"You don't know the first thing about my family, or family in general. We are all broken and can't be fixed." She said.

"Where's the hope and faith in this?" I asked.

"I stopped believing when I learned the truth about my mother's death. Niklaus killed her during a werewolf transition. He has no hope." She cried sitting down on the ground.

"Rebekah I'm sorry but I believe he can be saved." I said. "I won't let him hurt you."

"Why do you even care about me?" She asked.

"Marcel cares about you, and so do I. Klaus is difficult to get along with, we both know that. I understand why you wanted him out of town, he's controlling. But you did betray him, you would've just asked to be with Marcel." I said.

"Ask him! I fell in love with the governor's son and wanted to turn him, Niklaus said no and killed him." She said.

"I'm sorry. I can't say that enough. But he's your brother and you love him. You moved on right? Found Marcel and now were here." I said.
