Klaus's Pet: Mystic Falls

40

Lorelei's POV:

I wake up in my own bed.

Looking around I see that Nik is nowhere to be found.

I grab my phone.

My heart skips when I see a text from Rebekah.

Lorelei I got away from Damon. I'm staying out of sight for now. I can't tell you where I am as Nik could compel it from you. Please understand. Know that I am safe and I will find you when I can.

I let out a sigh of relief.

She's away from Damon and out of Nik's hands.

I'd have to call that as close to a win as I can for now.

I pull the covers away, climbing out of bed.

I'm hungry.

I decide on getting some blood in my system so I could have a longer hunt this time. It wasn't so much as the hunt that I was looking for. It was also just the peaceful stillness of the woods that I crave. I walk up to the cabinet, grabbing some shorts and a tank top, knowing that in only a few moments I would be in the woods, taking it off again and wolfing out. I head for the door and twist. It stops mid turn.

The fuck?

I try again.

A third time.

It's locked.

I pull my phone from my back pocket and call Nik.

Klaus's POV:
I stand in the alleyway watching Elijah feed on a man. Next to him stood Stefan draining his own prey. My phone begins to vibrate and I pull it out as I continue watching the feeding frenzy going on before me. I smirk reading the contact. I put the phone to my ear.

"Hello love." I say pleasantly

"What the fuck did you do?" Lorelei demands angrily on the other side

"You're in a wonderful mood. I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific. It's been quite the day so far." I tell her

"You locked me in my room? Why the hell did you do that?"

"Darling if you really have to ask-" I begin

"I've dropped a hell of a lot less bodies than you."

I turn around, making my way further down the road for privacy.

"Be that as it may, I have my hybrid army. I have the vampire spies and an entire town of humans that don't remember supernatural beings in the first place. Everything is in place. The last thing I need is my brat running about making a mess of things." I say

She scoffs.

"Congratulations Nik. You have everything you wanted."

"You would too if you behaved yourself."

"Now who's lying? Rebekah didn't do anything and you still daggered her. You lied to us saying that Elijah was off living a good life!" She shouts angrily

"I was protecting my family!" I snap

"That's always the excuse." She snips back

"Keep running your mouth love. You'll come to regret it." I warn

"What could you possibly do that you haven't yet?" She demands coldly. "You destroyed enough already."

Then the call ends.

I call her back but she doesn't pick up.

"Lorelei, you'd best answer the phone." I growl into the voicemail

I call again and it rings.

No answer.

The rage continues to build as I click her name again.

More ringing.

Voicemail.

I make my way back over to Stefan and Elijah as they are tossing the corpses into a dumpster. With that we make our way down the road, ready to continue to search for the missing youngest Mikaelson.

One Week Later:

There had still been no sign of Rebekah.

We'd heard ramblings from towns over.

Each one turned out to be a dead end.

We wasted days chasing nonsense.

Lorelei's POV:

The door to my room slams open.

I shoot up from where I'm lying in bed, alarmed.

Nik stands there, more enraged than I'd ever seen him.

"I'm going to ask you once and only once. Where is my sister?"

I stare back, eyes wide.

"I don't know."

Before I can even react, he's making his way over towards me as fast as possible. His hand wraps around my throat. Any pins me to the bed, roughly. I try to fight him off, but it's useless.

" I asked you once, and you lied to me before. I've spent a week running around like a madman. I released both of my brothers from their own punishment to help me in my search. Do you know what I just discovered when I went into the forest today?"

I don't answer.

"I found her coffin with a note written to you about where she ran off to. You let me believe she was off abducted or hurt."

"It was her plan!" I snap back

The anger on his face turns to shock and hurt.

" Damien let her out so he could use her as a weapon against you and instead she decided that for once in her life, she would take off, and hopefully have a better life without you!" I shout

" She made a vow to her family!"

" She did nothing to you and yet you daggered her and dived her in a box! You ripped away, my only other friend I lied, I was! Guess I take after the best." I snap

He's barely holding back his rage and so am I.

" Don't worry I won't go after her. I've already been warned by Elijah to leave our little sister alone. Your fate however, dear pet, is still up for debate."

" if you're going to kill me, just do it already"

" oh love, I can think of 1 million words feet for you and none of them involve death. Five years in solitary feels like forever for a human. Imagine what it will be like for you."

"No! I didn't do anything!" I plead

He stares back into my tear filled eyes, a coldness in his own.

"Enjoy your room. You won't be leaving it."

With that he releases me.

I take off after him, desperate to reach the door.

But he locks it behind me.

I scream after him but it's no use.
