Slow Burn [Klaus Mikaelson Story]

34. The Originals

I open the door to my apartment, I managed to carry the box without falling. I divided the items into my backpack and the box so it was easy. 

I let out a yelp as I see Damon sprawled onto my bed holding- reading Miranda Gilbert's dairy.

"So you are a Darius huh?" He says without looking up. 

"Yes" I breathe out placing my bag and the box on the kitchen counter. The sound gets his attention and in the blink of an eye he was standing next to me. 

"So this what you got from the forest?" he asks pointing at the box. 

"Yes- kind off" I sigh sitting on the bar stool. 

"So what you got in there?" he asks trying to open the lid but I hit on top of the hand. 

"Now we are keeping secrets?" he raises his eyebrow at me. 

I playfully roll my eyes at him, he folds his hands over his chest looking at me for explanation. 

I sigh out and open the lid of the box. 

"Holy shit-" 

"Yeah" I breath out, "Moreover almost all the blood bag from Stefan's trunk is well gone" I add. 

"So you did a blood ritual and you got this?" he says sitting next to me. 

I let out a laugh, "let's say that for now." 

"I am supposed to be mysterious not you" he squint his eyes.

I shrug, "Right." 

"I was lowkey mad at you for not caring about Elena kidnapping but reading that diary I understand" he says making my eyes widen.

"Shit it totally slipped my mind- did you? 

"Yes and yes she is safe" he tells me starring off.

"Alright what is it?" I ask him turning completely towards him. 

"It's nothing" he shrugs off. 

"Now we are keeping secrets?" I mimic him. 

He sighs out, "The people who kidnapped Elena were vampires, and there is this one vampire who was strong like really strong" 

"Did he escape?" 

"No-no I staked him with one those coat hangers, he is dead, those vampire who took Elena they wanted to trade her to him for their freedom?" 

"Trade Elena? Why would bunch of vampires want from Elena?" I question to no one. 

"That is what is bothering me too, the girl who kidnapped Elena she fled she was the only one alive and I will find her to figure out what she wanted with Elena" he says with determination. 

"You like Elena don't you?" I look at him. 

He snaps his head towards me, "I don't know, a part of me thinks its because she looks like Kathrine, a part of me just want to get on Stefan's nerves and one part of me truly likes her."

"Well until all those parts turns to only liking Elena , I wouldn't act on them" I say.

"That doesn't make sense" he looks at me weirdly, "and are you telling me to confess my feelings?"

"Well yeah, just tell her at least it will be off of your shoulder and she will know even though she won't reciprocate them, it will help you to move on you know." 

"What are you even-" 

"I don't know I am tired" I fold my arms on the counter and place my head on them as I feel my eyes getting heavy, Damon followed my actions looking directly at me. 

"I wish we met first" he raises his hand and tucks my hair behind my hears that have fallen over my eyes, he rubs his thumb onto my cheek softly- lulling me to sleep.

Next day me  Elena called me to come at Gilbert house and we went to Salvatore house, Stefan called Elena in the morning saying it is something important.

I raise my hand to knock on the door but before my hand can make in contact, Damon opens it.

Stefan is just standing in the corridor, "Okay-" Elena stops herself looking behind Stefan.

There is a girl standing with pixie hair, she looks at Elena and gives her tight lip smile, Stefan nods her head.

She can be trusted.

We all make ourselves comfortable in the study on the leather couch and the girl whose name is Rose is here to help us. Elena was kidnapped by her so she can give Elena to Elijha, an original, so Rose can get her freedom but the brothers killed him and now Rose is living with them.

Damon is sitting onto the arm rest of the couch next to me on the arm rest of the couch and Stefan is sitting onto the stable while Rose is pacing back and forth.

"Okay so I don't know wether it is true or not because it it's all I've picked up from over the years that's the problem with all this vampire crap" she stops her pacing and looks at Elena dead in the eye, "but I know that Klaus is real" she states.

"Who is he?" Elena questions.

"He is one of the originals, he is a legend" Damon replies.

"He is one of the first generation of vampires" Stefan adds making me look at Damon. He shakes his head and I quickly look away.

"Like Elijah?" Elena furrows his eyebrows.

"No" Rose shakes her head, "Elijah was the Easter bunny compared to Klaus. He is a foot soldier. Klaus is the real deal" Rose places her hands on her hips.

"Klaus is known to be the oldest" Stefan says.

"I won't be sure of that" I mumble under my breath and luckily no one was paying attention to me.

"So you mean to say that oldest vampire of the history is coming after me?" Elena scoffs in disbelief.

"Yes"

"No"

I look at Stefan who looks constipated and Rose who is rolling her eyes.

"What they are saying is I mean" Damon stands up and walks over to Rose, "If what she is saying is true-"

"Which it is" Rose interrupts.

"And you are not just saying it so we don't kill you-" Damon glares at Rose.

"Which I am not" she rolls her eyes at him.

"Then we're looking at a solid maybe" Damon finishes.

"Look Elijah is dead so no one even knows that you exist" Stefan stands up and tries to comfort Elena.

"Not that you know of" Ross interrupts again.

"That's not helping" Damon looks at Rose.

"Look I've never met anyone who has ever laid eyes on him" Stefan reasons making Damon look at me, "I mean we are talking about centuries of truth mixed with fiction" Stefan looks at Elena, "I mean we don't know what's real for all we know he could just be some sort of stupid bedtime story" he finishes looking Elena with loved filled eyes.

Yes he is whipped.

"He is real and doesn't give up" Rose stands up.

"How old do you think he is?" I question rose.

"I've running from him for 500 years now and let's say 1200 years give or take" Rose nonchalantly replies making Stefan and Elena's eyes widen, "If he wants something, he gets it" she emphasize.

"If you are not afraid of Klaus you are an idiot" she backs up.

"Alright we are shaking you have made your point" Damon brushes her off.

Maybe Atticus knows something about The Originals.
