Slow Burn [Klaus Mikaelson Story]

50. Birthdays

I feel absolutely shit, Damon is dying. Elijah betrayed us which I am slightly happy about.

Jenna is dead, Jules is dead, Greta is dead, John is dead, Bonnie almost died and Klaus is alive, probably the only thing I am tiny bit greatful about.

I really thought I wouldn't care but I do I really do.

But only if I could've been stronger just a little bit, if I had control over my powers, if could've told Klaus maybe I could've saved someone but I stood there helplessly.

This is why now I am packing my bags with a letter thrown on the bed of my apartment, stating that I'll be leaving for main city and stay at campus for a little while and not to look for me as all of this was too much for me moreover my finals are coming which are really important to me.

Lies.

Complete utter lies.

Atticus has compelled the principal's of both the schools so if anyone asks my story matches plus I don't lose my credibility, moreover he 'asked' both the schools principal wether I can be home schooled or not and without missing a beat both of them said yes.

I'll be finally moving to the Darius estate where Atticus will teach me, make me stronger as soon as possible. He has already taken out all the spell books we had which can possibly fill an entire large bookshelf, and I know I have to go through it all so I can protect my friends, so I can finally tell them what I really am. So I won't stand there and watch them die or feel helpless.

Never again, I won't ever feel helpless ever.

I swing the bag on my shoulder after covering the last furniture with a white sheet, I lock the door behind me and walk downstairs where Atticus is waiting with a new car he bought for himself.

A beetle, he bought a new car.

He actually worked and earned for it. I didn't bothered to get into specifics with him.

But all I know is he didn't compelled anyone.

And he sold his old one that I had been using as he compelled a complete stranger for it.

Now I can't have Damon's car, I just can't.

Even though Damon insisted I take it because I will take good care of it but whenever I will sit or look at it, it will remind me of him and I cannot afford that.

"I am really sorry miss Isla" Atticus apologizes again as soon as he sees me.

"Atticus for the hundredth time it's okay" I give him a small smile, "now I just have to be stronger so no one can get hurt in the future" I smile at him again.

He opens the door for me and slide in the passenger seat.

It has been a month since I met anyone, I have no idea what is going in their lives whatsoever. I have closed every single communication source.

I have been constantly practicing and learning. I can do a lot of spells with just the wave of my hand without needing to recite any spells. Still there is long way to go but yes now I can defeat Bonnie with the flick of my wrist.

The estate is back to its former glory even better than before Atticus likes to say it, moreover now we will clear the little bit of forest from the front and create a concrete pathway, like a normal home should have. As now I am strong enough to protect myself from danger Atticus told me the real why he didn't want anyone to know about my secret; to protect me from unwanted harm as I wasn't strong enough because if the word got out that the Darius lines still exist, people would'v harmed me. I didn't argued with him on this because people still know who Darius's are otherwise Gilbert's wouldn't have kidnapped me.
