Watching His New Life

Chapter Ten: Reigning Pain In New Orleans

Nobody's Pov

Everyone had to admit that they were looking forward to the next episode since they wanted to know what would happen next.

Especially with Klaus in charge since he now has power over New Orleans after Marcel accepted defeat.

And the fact that he took Hayley and Kurt with him to live in their new home.

Once they settled down the next episode began to play.

The screen turns on and the camera pans outside of the compound before heading inside.

Klaus has set up a dinner table in the courtyard to celebrate his return to leadership over New Orleans and his repossession of the Abbatoir compound from Marcel.

The vampire army, including Marcel and his closest friends, are seated around the table.

While Hayley and Kurt are sitting next to each other at one end while Klaus is at another end.

Everyone's eyes widened at the dinner table they were seeing.

Sebastian had to admit that he was also surprised because while he's rich, given who his father is, he's never seen a dinner table that big.

It's honestly like something out of a fairy tale.

Klaus calls for everyone's attention by tapping his glass with his fork, a grin plastered on his face.

"Let us begin with a toast to our shared gift. Immortality" Klaus said.

Kurt sighed as he threw his head back, groaning a little.

He didn't want to be here, he wanted to be in bed or playing games on his phone.

"Me whenever we had to go to school" Artie whispered to his friends.

Sam, Mike, Puck and Finn snorted in amusement and nodded their heads in agreement.

"After a thousand years, one might expect life to be less keenly felt, for its beauties and its sorrows do diminish with time. But, as vampires, we feel more deeply than humans could possibly imagine" Klaus said.

He gestures toward a group of waiters and waitresses to have them join them at the table, one for each guest.

"Insatiable need, exquisite pain..." Klaus trailed off.

The servants slit their wrists with knives and filled the cups with blood for the vampires.

Kurt grimaced at what he had seen and buried his head into Hayley's shoulder to which she rubbed his back.

Everyone in the theater couldn't help but grimace at what they had just witnessed.

They understand that vampires need to drink blood and all but seeing those, no doubt, compelled servants slit their wrists emotionlessly and fill the cups of the vampires with their blood was weird.

And creepy.

Despite that, they couldn't help but smile at the interaction between the best friends.

"Our victories, and our defeats" Klaus finished, looking at Marcel.

Marcel looks at him but says nothing, remaining silent.

"To my city, my home again. May the blood never cease to flow" Klaus said as he lifted his glass.

Marcel sighed before lifting his own glass in the air.

"And the party never end" Marcel said.
