The Perfect Mikaelson's

'I've decided to go with technique number 26 for Klaus. String him up by his wrist and use Kol's baseball bat collection on him until I feel better.'

I laugh to myself, as I take a sip of my wine. I've been held up in my room since Abbie and Derek left, reading some of her journal's. Now, before you say it's an invasion of privacy, it's one she's been known to leave around for her family to read. I like to think it's her being passive aggressive and reminding them that she has the means and the motives to make them suffer. I love it!

This particular chapter is going on about how Klaus ruined her date with some William guy, by showing up, sitting at the table next to theirs and proceeding to talk about her to his date without mentioning her name.

I don't even want to get into the fact that he had a date. We were engaged. I checked the date, it wasn't even one of the few times we separated. Either he cheated or he compelled a woman to go with him just to sabotage her date.

He better hope it's the latter. I hate to admit it, but if I find out that he cheated on me, I'll kill him.. slowly. Yeah.. I know I cheated with Peter, but that was when he first met Genevieve and they had a fling or whatever.

I didn't find out till years later and it took Rebekah telling me. Klaus acted as if everything was normal, but there were signs. Signs that I ignored. Rebekah was daggered and when she woke up, she told me before he daggered her again.

That was also one of the times Abbie left. I didn't know why she left, but I knew whatever it was had her upset. Her and Klaus argued for weeks before she left. Yelling and slamming doors, before threatening him if he ever did it again.

Looking at it now, it's so obvious, it hurts. I was so blind to it all and let him get away with it. I let him hurt me because I loved him. I still love him.. but it's not the same. I don't think I could ever go back knowing what I know.

Abbie knew.

Abbie tried to warn me. She would constantly check on me and ask me if I was happy. Back then, I was so wrapped up in Klaus, I didn't even realize I was just playing a part. I was scared to say anything, because I would lose them.

Of course I was scared about losing Klaus, but I didn't want to lose all of them. They meant too much to me. I had found a family that loved me like I was their blood, so why would I risk losing that?

That's exactly why I was so mad at Abbie when she called my bluff. I was more than ready to continue playing the part. My hair and makeup was done, my dress perfect as I was trying to be. But she saw me..

She saw the lies and the hesitation. She saw the pain and uncertainty and forced me to do what I was most scared of. I left thinking it's what was best for me and what she wanted me to do. I never would've left if I knew this is where it would get me. Living through the memories of the best friend I once knew.

"Avery!" I look up at my bedroom doors like I expect her to come barging in. When she doesn't, I get to my feet and pray she isn't just now realizing I'm still here. I can't take anymore of her attitude.

I step out of my room, looking over the railing to see her storming into the courtyard, Derek hot on her heels. Great.

Movement in the corner of my eye catches my attention, as Klaus descends the stairs. It just got worse. He loves doing nothing more than pissing her off when she's already spiraling.

"Abbie Kate.. you sound upset. Care to talk about it? Or maybe I should just take out the trash now." Abbie's body tense, before her head tilts to the side.

Klaus loves to push the limits, driving people completely mad. He wants them so mad that they actually try to kill him, where he'll toy with them before killing them. Abbie is no exception.
