Darkness Will Fall | Volume 1 : Sacrifice T.O}

Chapter 26: The Puppet

After returning to town, the boys and I talked about all the possible options to bring back Elena's humanity, either the Lexi method which consists of bombarding her with old memories or locking her in the cellar. To tell the truth, it would be simpler to lock him up like with Stefan.

But well enough to talk about Elena who constantly hits me on the system and Caroline who stuffs my brain with her damn ball, and since I'm bored to death and I don't plan to go I decided to go at Klaus's. It seems weird said like that but since... Jace and my mother, Klaus has often been by my side. I could listen to him for hours talking to me about the past of these books where he looked at as a painter and above all wondering what he did with the remedy.

Klaus: And if you stopped thinking out loud for a bit, you'd distract me.

Talia: What else do you want me to do? List all the problems we have.

Klaus: You should go to this dance. see you are friends.

Talia: My friends? And to do what? Elena does this Katherine, Damon and Stefan play chaperones. Caroline, Matt and Bonnie are all having fun.

I have no reason to go or have fun because if you forgot my boyfriend and my mother she's dead.. I don't see what would make me want to move anywhere..

Klaus: I know how much you miss Jace which is surprising.

Talia: I miss him. It's horrible like me is missing so much, it's not in waves, it's constant. All the time, without respite. And my mother, I...

Klaus: I don't really know what to tell you, this wound may never heal but it will be easier.

Talia: It's stupid but I miss Kol too, would you like to say sorry to him for all his years?

Klaus: Forgiveness isn't my thing, have you forgotten that?

Talia: By asking for forgiveness, we ask to be seen as you are, despite your actions. Responding to this request is the deepest love a human is capable of.

Klaus: Or in case you forgot, I'm far from human.

Talia: Of course you are, you're made of flesh and blood. You have a heart and you have emotions. I know you have a good background Nik, you just need help.

Klaus: You want to fix me but there are so many broken things in my life, what if you break trying to fix myself?

Talia: Maybe I'm already broken...

Klaus: So put things in order and you'll see that you're not that broken, that the chaos is elsewhere.

Talia: Whether you believe in order or chaos, in the end it's the same thing. We either control our lives or we believe we control them.

Klaus: I have complete control over her.

Talia: It's not true and you know it yourself.

Klaus: So what about you? Are you in control or not?

Talia: I don't control it, but I'm realistic.

Klaus: Realists only have the advantage of knowing that life is a magnificent piece of shit.

Talia: We live with the pain of this world.

Klaus: You know the difference between pain  and suffering?

Talia: The pain always remains, but is suffering a choice?

Klaus: It's really nice to talk with you but now I have a problem and you must help me, she.

Caroline: Klaus! Klau.. Oh Talia?

Talia: Hi.

Klaus: What's your pleasure at your visit?
