Stronger than the rest

Chapter 15

"Did you do as I said?" Klaus asks an I sigh.

"I gave him the dagger." I reply and he nods. slowly, I take out the paint brush and red paint tube.

Flashback//

"So what are you doing?" The bartender asks and I roll my eyes, dipping the paint brush in the paint.

"I'm painting." I reply and he chuckles.

"I can see that." I groan, looking at him.

"Stop trying to hook up with me and get me a drink on the house." I compel before picking up the paint brush and continuing to paint little red veins on the dagger.

End of flash back//

"So where's Rebekah?" He gestures to her dead body on the table and I frown. how did I not notice?

"I will wake her up when the time comes." klaus says before pulling the actual dagger from his pocket. "you know you can not trust them."

"All I want is for to be with Elijah. if that means deceiving them for you, then yeah.. I will." I reply and he chuckles, putting the dagger back in his pocket. "They were going to deceive me."

Flashback//

I walk back over to the stairs when I hear them start to talk. I could tell Damon was here when he first entered, I just didn't want them to know I know.

"If what she said about the dagger is true, we are all able to use it if she does anything. We all know she looks at klaus like a brother, and we won't be able to find a way to kill him if she is still here." Elena says and I stay at the top of the stairs, listening in. "so, we need that dagger, we need her on our side and we need her away from klaus."

"But what if we get Damon to apologise? Won't she be on our side then?" Jeremy asks.

"The moment klaus undaggers Elijah or any other of his siblings if he gets a hold of them, she will go running to him and what's to say klaus will leave angel here?" Damon says.

"We make a deal, the dagger for Rebekah." Elena says. "Or you could do what Jeremy said, apologise."

"I'm not apologising." Damon states. I walk down the stairs, deciding to intervene.

End of flashback///

"You've changed." klaus says and I shrug.

"Maybe I've done something that has made me not care." I reply and he stares at me.

"How?" He asks, probably thinking I have turned my emotions off.

"I ignore it." I reply.

I smile, walking around in a towel, glancing at the male hybrids who stare at me.

"I see you found the working shower." klaus says and I giggle, running a hand over my wet hair. "We are going out to the Lockwood's, I need to talk to carol." He says I roll my eyes.

"Couldn't I just stay here? There are a lot of nice hybrid guys here." I say and I smile as one of the male hybrids walks past, looking me up and down with a flirty grin.

"You are coming." klaus says I groan, turning away. "and you better mop up the footprints!" He calls and I salute him before carrying on.

"Look at what the cat dragged in. Nice vest." Damon says as he walks over to me, klaus and carol.

"Thank you very much, good to see you, Damon. Carol and I were discussing about whether you would be the other big benefactor." Klaus says as his arm wraps around my waist.
