Empire

Chapter 9

Their time is up, Agens claimed.

Sophie sniffled trying to hide her helplessness. Her plan, their plan was riding on the originals and she doesn’t know how to achieve her goal without their help.

We have a deal, Klaus claimed.

She turned around to see the hybrid entering the tomb with conviction in his eyes. She can see that he is carrying a body, her breath caught.

And Marcel? Another witch questioned

Will be taken care in in time, Elijah joined with them

That’s not the deal, Agnes disapproved

Listen, We are having a deal with Marcel’s downfall in exchange of our niece’s protection. Either you take it or leave it. Because as I see it, we are all the ones that standing between Marcel and you lot. We need time, Is that clear? Elijah threatened Agnes. But he looked at sophie with question.

Klaus put the body before her and he opened the cloth to reveal her sister’s face. He looked at her with reason.
It is a peace offering. Sophie know that she needed to say yes hence she nodded her head. That made them leave.

She looked at her sister and cried her heart out.

I can’t believe you would trust a vampire

I don’t have a choice Agnes and I am running out of time

Klaus met Marcel in the town’s little restaurant. The bar was decent and it was filled.

Marcel fancying in a little town restaurant, Why not something quiet?

Then he saw that his eyes are looking at a direction and he saw the reason. There was a pretty blonde in the corner writing seriously about something.

A human? Really?

She is a student who is working parttime as a bar tender

And you are interested in a person who will surely break your heart?

It’s nothing like that. It’s been different. Sometimes it feels good to be with a human, to be part of their own world.

That’s what I like about her. She is free from all of this.

Klaus thought about that. He never get his heart care for some human not for a while now. Then he saw the woman leave and he stopped her.

Hello I’m Klaus. What are you studying?
Klaus wavered ta the books she is carrying.

Abnormal psychology, she was smiling at him

Wonderful, Perhaps you can be the best person to convince my friend here that he shouldn’t like a woman out of reach. It’ll lead only to heartbreak, he put his hand at small of her back and guided her to Marcel.

Marcel couldn’t contain his smile.

You should be polite and considerate.

And perhaps the right opportunity will knock on your door.

With that she tried to go for the door.

Klaus seem disappointed.

How about tonight? 9 at here? Marcel tried his luck

I’ll take that under consideration, Camille replied

Marcel smiled at that and sat down at the table.

That looks like a challenge.

Perhaps I might be losing my touch, Klaus drank.
