Nik placed Emmaline inside her bed that he readied for her as she had fallen asleep on their way back.

He had noticed her eyes screaming at her to close, and so instead, he picked her up, allowing her to rest. Emmaline was far too exhausted to protest. Klaus could never say it out loud, but he did care deeply for her. When she never reached out to contact him all those years ago, he couldn't help but feel a little bit devastated. He watched her as she slept for a small while, examining every inch of her face before moving her hair out of her face, making his way towards the door. He felt almost obligated to smile at the scene before him. Nik stayed like that for a while, admiring the most gorgeous scene before him. It almost felt too good to be true.

He then reached for the door, opened it, and left the sleeping beauty alone.

His Sleeping Beauty.

He stayed on the other side of the door for a moment, collecting his thoughts. The very woman who had not left his thoughts for a moment was here, in his home, sleeping in his bed. The simple thought of this brought a smile to his face as he realised. At that moment, one of Nik's hybrids had approached him, which made his smile disappear within a second.

"I just thought you should know that one of your coffins is empty," the hybrid stated, trying to mask his fear by pretending to be uninterested. All of Nik's senses were turned on when he heard this as he faced him. He was about to release all of his rage at his hybrid but then remembered his sleeping beauty in the next room. The mere thought of her allowed Nik to keep himself composed, and so he asked as calmly as he could, "Which one?"

This unsettled the hybrid immensely. He was ready for anything. Screams, tables broken, decapitation. But not this. He seemed far too calm, and it bothered him.

"I-it was Elijah's," he stammered.

Nik closed his eyes in both relief and dread. He was happy that it was him and not anyone else, for they would definitely be out to kill him. But he was worried that Elijah was now out there, and he was most likely plotting against him, and he couldn't have that. All Nik could do was quickly walk away from him before he exploded and tore the stupid hybrid apart limb by limb.

He now had to deal with another problem. Too many problems. Nik hated it. He hated his paranoia, how he believed everyone wanted to kill him. So before they could think their next thought, he would put them down without having a second thought about it. He felt no remorse in doing so. To him, protecting himself was all that mattered.

Well. That was until a certain female Salvatore stumbled back into his life. And suddenly, he realised there was someone else he wanted to protect. And for that, he thanked his paranoia. For he wanted nothing more than to protect her. Nik wasn't stupid, though. He knew it wasn't some silly crush. He had been around for far too long to know that. He knew what he felt for that damn girl was something so much stronger than a crush. But he couldn't bring it to himself to take it to the level of love. He refused to believe so. But if it wasn't love, why did he care so much? Why would he let the world burn if she asked him to? Why would he do anything if it meant keeping her safe? What was it about Emmaline Salvatore that had the Almighty Klaus Mikealson completely and utterly whipped. He couldn't work it out.

Before he knew it, he found himself outside his mansion, staring at the sky.

What on earth was he going to do?
