Fire & Flame | Klaus Mikaelson

13. Into The Wild

Lily laid on the Gilbert's couch, with her eyes closed and her arm over her eyes, while Klaus stared at Kol's dead body, something Lily refused to do, she could not look at his body, it made her feel sick in the stomach.

"Morning, sunshine" Tyler greeted, entering the Gilbert's house with a mock smile on his face, Klaus's situation bringing him immense joy, "You look pathetic".

"Only until Bonnie's spell locking me in here wears off" Klaus stated, "Then I'll look different", Klaus turned and faced Tyler, "Angrier, perhaps, or I won't look like anything because I'll have gouged your eyeballs from their sockets".

"My friends will be back with the cure by then so I can shove it down your throat and make you mortal" Tyler threatened.

"I'm an original" Klaus reminded, "What makes you think my entire vampire bloodline won't be cured along with me? I.e. you".

"You know what I think?" Tyler asked, "I think that's impossible, I think the moment you stop being a vampire our whole blood connection to you is broken and your sire line ceases to exist, so whatever happens to you happens only to you, which means I can kill your ass, and no one else has to die, although I am still debating just how to do it".

Klaus used his vampire speed to speed over to where Tyler was standing, causing the Lockwood boy to flinch back slightly in surprise, "I recommend drowning" Klaus taunted, "There's nothing quite like the feeling of someone fighting for something as basic as human breath, and let me tell you, your mother was a fighter".

A furious Tyler glanced at his best friend, "Are you hearing this?!" he asked, "Are you hearing the type of person this man is? Do you even realise that you fell in love with a monster or do you just not care?".

"I just don't care" Lily answered truthfully, making Tyler look at her in shock, wondering how can she say that, Lily sat up and looked at Tyler, "And let's not forget Tyler, the only reason Klaus went after your mother was because you went after him, so from where I'm sitting, poor little orphan Tyler has no one but himself to blame for his mother's dead, if you were that concerned for her, you would have never tried to kill someone who has a thousand years over you, and if you did decide to go after him, you should have made sure that your only family was safe, but that wasn't important to you, was it? No, your mother's safety was the last thing on your mind, all you cared about was killing Klaus".

"And we all know how that turned out" Klaus taunted, a smug smirk on his face.

"Yes we do" Lily said, glaring at her former best friend, feeling nothing but hatred for him, she didn't care if people called her a bitch or called her heartless, but even being warned so many times by her, Tyler didn't listen to Lily, he went after Klaus multiple times, if he didn't care about Lily's feelings, Lily could give a rats ass about his.

Once the sun had set, Caroline entered the Gilbert household and looked at her boyfriend in confusion, "You're still here? What are you doing?".

"Learning that his mother's death is on him" Lily taunted, making her sister look at her with a glare, "What? Does the truth hurt, sister?".

Caroline shook her head at Lily before turning back to Tyler, "Come home, don't stoop to their level".

"He destroyed my life" Tyler reminded, "Lily abandoned us for him, I plan on being present for every second of their misery until I can kill Klaus myself".
