Strangled By Death & Tears

Eyes

With blood dripping down my face I throw an almost dried out human body that's laying lifelessly in my arms over to the man in front of me.
He ironically smiles at me and the presses his fangs into the woman's neck, causing her to be completely dry out. Without any hesitation he lets her go and the body roughly lands on the dirty ground - oh god how much I love this 'I don't give a fuck' side of him. No wonder why we're best friends,
"Should we go Nik?" The guy asks me and I just walk ahead and turn myself around in the process of walking past him, so that I'm still able to keep the conversation up with the man "Is this even a question?" I say with a sarcastic undertone and a smile on my lips. He can't help but smirk too and then follows me.

Both of us are sitting at a fancy table in a club. Between us is Rebekah who separates us and on Zacks lap is sitting a young brunette girl, she has two puncture sites on the left side of her neck where he keeps on sucking the woman's blood while he's constantly flirting with her,
"Klaus we have a little problem.. We'd be in need of your help." One of my subordinates says as he looks up to me, trying hard to avoid direct eye contact. I stand up annoyed and roll my eyes as I reply "Fine, what is it?" We walk down to the basement where i build up my imperium and finally sit down at the big table which's standing in the middle of the Room "There is a guy, a monster to be more specific that has the power to destroy whole colonies or groups of vampire and even werewolves. We're afraid that we don't know who this mysterious person is.." I can hear how he swallows and I answer the young vampire "Don't worry I'll solve our problem." After the last word rushes over my dry lips I stand up and powerfully I walk upstairs again where Zack is still waiting for me "Get rid of your doll, we have a mission to complete." I say when I walk past him and as the distance between me and the table grows bigger and bigger I can hear Rebekah yelling after me "Don't you dare leaving me out just once again. Nik, come back!" I don't really care about what she says, sure she's my sister but that doesn't mean that I want her 24/7 around me - she sometimes just gets a bit too clingy and besides that Rebekah always starts to flirt with Zack.
I can't stand her attitude anymore.

I swing the door wide open and let it fall back into the lock again, it causes a loud noise.
Finally, the door opens a second time and Zack walks outside "What kind of mission do you have for us?" He asks me while we both walk together towards my black truck "Just get in the car, I'll tell you when we're on the way" we both open the doors, get in, sit down and close the door almost synchronized to another.
"There is something"
"Something?"
"Yeah something that enjoys to kill people like us"
"You mean supernatural beings?"
I nod and look over at Zack, short after I directly focus on the road again,
It's silent for a quiet while until Zack decides to break up the uncomfortableness "What do you think what it is?"
"I don't know, maybe it's a witch, I'm not sure though." Zack nods and then after obviously struggling to express what's on his minds he finally over comes himself "Whatever it is I'm glad to fight it together by your side.." something seems to bother the usually pretty mindless Italian guy, but I don't want to seem like I would care about useless things like feelings so I just swallow it down and keep on driving.

"Get out" I say in a commanding tone and close the door of the black car, Zack follows my instruction and does the same only seconds after, his deep voice then asks "Is this the shelter?" "That's what we're thinking it is.." I answer Zack and end up walking up to the porch. My eyes fall on the door and I slowly open it but as I try to set a foot into the empty house it doesn't work, someone needs to own it which only proofs my theory of the witch, "someone owns the house, we can't get in. I guess we're forced to leave for now" I tell Zack and turn around and walk down to where he is standing, together we then start walking towards the vehicle "oh c'mon boys, are you already leaving?" Suddenly a unknown voice asks us, both of us run with our supernatural speedily powers over to where the voice is coming from, it's a woman and she's wearing a long and dirty coat. A smile is all over her face and she looks at me, one eye of her seems to be completely normal. It has the color of something so comforting but still terrifying while the other eye looks more like she wouldn't even have the ability to see with it, it has a weird white spot that splashes through the center of the entire eyeball, something about her eyes just seem to freak me out.. "oh bambino stop staring at me like that" the mysterious woman tells me while she slowly walks towards me, now we're standing here, face to face, I can feel her warm breath on my skin and her words on my neck "Niklaus Mikaelson and his suspiciously loyal companion, Zachariah Bonetti.. aren't I'm lucky to have the glorious ability to say that you both waist your time just to come and see me." Slightly confused I take a step back, my look goes from the woman to Zack who seems more be surprised about what he's seeing than confused like me, and finally back to the lady again "We're here to show you our force. If you won't follow our instructions we will have no other choice than to brutally kill you and expose your organs to the world." "Pathetic." Pure confusion is expressed all over my face "excuse me?" I then say sarcastic and take a step closer to her again "oh don't worry about it bambino, you're excused, I'll forgive you for threatening me with these clueless words of yours." She smiles at me with joy but I can feel how my temper is running high. I just wanna break this goddamn witch's neck. Oh god, not even he would know how much this would satisfy me right now.
"Zachariah.." the witch starts but directly gets interrupted by Zack "Nik I don't think there is any chance in killing her, not as long as she's in there. So cool your aggressions." He's right, we can't wait for her to get out of the house, we need to find a better plan.
Unlike me Zack never lets anger take a hold on him, he's more one of the cool heads. Someone who looks at the whole art not just little pieces of the puzzle.
"Nik, hm? That's what your friends call you?" "People usually call me Klaus, Niklaus is just the name my father gave me." The word father seems like a heavy one on my tongue, almost like I could choke on it, "oh I remember your father. I met him once, he was about to kill you I think" Zack pushes me aside and talks to the witch in a uniquely harsh way "leave him alone, go away and find someone else to threaten." She's quiet, almost like shocked. I have no idea what the hell is going on but she's not interested in fighting, at least that's what I'm thinking.
And that's a good sign for us.
"Let us go Nik." He then says to me and walks over to the automobile.
"We'll meet again Niklaus, don't worry about that, bambino"
Why the hell does she keep on calling me bambino? What's that even supposed to mean?

The both of us, me heading first, enter the club again. It doesn't last long that my sister notices us "That was a pretty long mission, wasn't it?" She obviously tries to get some company, so I try to please her "Yeah, there's a witch. She seems to be one of the first hundreds of witches to exist, at least she's pretty strong." Rebekah looks considered about my reply so I try to play it of with a simple "But we'll manage it, don't worry, sister." I drink the glass of bourbon that I got from the bar keeper a few minutes ago all out. "Let's get to the basement, shall we?" Zack nods and Rebekah just follows us like a dog follows his owners everywhere.

"There was this woman, she seemed to be one of the original witches or something like that. She called me bambino the whole time, maybe it's a code word or something" I explain to the crew but just as I'm about to continue talking I get disturbed by Zack who is sitting on a bench somewhere in the back of the room, "bambino means something like darling or baby in Italian".
I turn around to where he is sitting and nod understandingly "okay, my bad. But still, we need to find a way to kill this god damn woman." I command annoyed and as if I'd have mind controlling powers everyone gets up, opens books, laptops or old scrolls and start to research.
How I love to be the leader.
