Stiles Stilinski-Gilbert

Chapter 68

"What the hell do you mean Kol tried to kill Jeremy?!" Stiles exclaims.

"Calm down love. It's nothing I can't fix." Klaus says reassuringly.

"How am I supposed to calm down when your one-thousand-year-old original vampire brother is trying to kill my seventeen-year-old brother?!" Stiles yells as he moves around the room picking up his clothes and trying to find his underwear.

"Love, I promise you that I will get Kol under control and boxed up nice and tight within the hour." Klaus assures.

"Right, of course because the answer to all our problems is you daggering your brother. How could I possibly forget." Stiles snaps sarcastically.

"What else can I do?" Klaus asks.

"Oh, I don't know. Talk to him. Figure out why he's suddenly going on this rampage that included compelling my best friend to try and kill my brother." Stiles suggests as he finally finds his underwear and puts it on. He can get new boxers when he goes back home and checks on Jeremy.

Klaus doesn't say anything to that causing Stiles to look up and squint at the shifty looking hybrid.

"You know. You know why he's doing this. Tell me." Stiles orders.

"He's doing this because of some children's story. It's stupid and nothing important." Klaus brushes off Stiles' concern.

"Klaus." Stiles growls angrily.

"Fine. Apparently in the same tomb as the cure is Silas. Who will apparently bring destruction to the world. Or something like that." Klaus informs.

"And you didn't think that this was important for me to know?" Stiles asks annoyed.

"Yes, well no. it's a children's bedtime story. Be good or Silas will come for you. The thing is Silas isn't real." Klaus promises.

"If that were true then why is your brother willing to commit murder and get on his whole family's bad side just to stop us finding his tomb?" Stiles questions.

"You don't know this about Kol but he's willing to get on all our bad sides most of the time for very petty reasons. And he'd commit murder just because it's a Wednesday. You don't need to read into this. Silas isn't real. Now, all I have to do is dagger the little twit and all will be fine." Klaus explains before walking over to a chest at the end of his bed and opening it.

Stiles watches as Klaus' face goes from calm to worried to annoyed within seconds as he digs around the chest.

"Let me guess, Kol in a second of forethought decided to steal the daggers and we are now left back at square one." Stiles guesses.

"I'm gonna kill him." Klaus states.

"Good luck with that, in the meantime I'm going to be protecting my brother. See you after this has all blown over?" Stiles says before kissing Klaus on the cheek and then walking out of the room.

Klaus enters Rebekah's house that she insists on staying in, something about not trusting Klaus and his dagger happy ways. Honestly Klaus was barely listening. He listens out for his sister but instead of just one heartbeat he hears two. One being his sisters and the other...the other. A smug smile graces Klaus' face.

He hears movement coming from the bedroom, Rebekah's bedroom and not long after the door to the bedroom opens and Klaus stands face to face with Stefan Salvatore.

"Leaving so soon?" Klaus asks amused.

"This is my place, Nik, and I don't appreciate you invading my privacy like some kind of peeping Tom." His sister grouses.
