The Other Mikaelson |TVD| Book 1

Chapter 11 (Edited)

"Daggered"

Elijah and I spent the next two days following Niklaus in his werewolf form, cleaning up all the mess he made.

I was nervous of finally talking to Niklaus formally and Elijah had to stop me a couple of times from running away.

One of them being at this precise moment seeing Nik fall to the ground from exhaustion, transforming back to his human form.

"Calm Klarysse. I won't let him hurt you" Elijah reassured me, walking to his brother.

I crossed my arms, watching Elijah walk closer with a bunch of clothes as Niklaus woke up, glancing at the sun with a smile.

Elijah threw him the clothes, making him realize he wasn't alone, spotting us near some trees.

"You've been busy" Elijah explained at his confused expression

"That was amazing" Niklaus breathed grinning "How long has it been?" 

"Almost 2 days" I answered quietly.

"Full moon came and went" Elijah told him as Niklaus started dressing up. I looked away to give him privacy "You remained a wolf"

"I can change at will, then" Niklaus noted with a nod "It's good to know. I remember every single kill"

"Yes, we've been cleaning up your little mess along the way" Elijah told him, slightly annoyed.

"Just like old times, brother" Niklaus told him, glancing at me, "Klary, love, good to see you again"

"Nik, the 21st century suits you" I said looking at his new attire, smiling tightly. I walked closer slowly, "However, we both know we're not here for catching up. We have a bargain" I reminded him

Niklaus narrowed his eyes at me.

I raised my chin defiantly, hiding my fear from him behind an expressionless face.

Elijah stepped forward, standing between us, looking at his brother, "She's right, Niklaus, you've had your fun"

"That's right" Niklaus shrugged "Now, what was it again?" He asked rhetorically "Oh, yeah. Wait. I remember. That's it. You both wish to be reunited with our family"

"You gave us your word, Niklaus" Elijah reminded him

"What kind of brother and cousin would break his bond?" Niklaus looked between us innocently "Even though you did try to kill me"

I looked away smirking slightly "We could have. But we didn't"

Elijah helped Niklaus putting on his jacket

"And now no one can, not even you" Niklaus smiled. We tensed making him chuckle "Relax, Klarysse, Elijah. All is forgiven"

I didn't trust that, still eyeing him cautiously "Where are they?" I asked bluntly not bothering anymore of the politeness.

Elijah looked at me disapprovingly

Niklaus smiled but the smile didn't reach his eyes completely "You need to lighten up, dear cousin. I'll bring you to them soon enough" he told us walking away leaving us behind.

Elijah and I exchanged a suspicious look, sensing we both had trouble in believing Nik's word but we wanted to try, following after him

Why do I feel Nik's up to something?

~8~

We followed Niklaus to an apartment, Alaric's I think when he was in his body

When we walked closer, Stefan's voice reached my ears, frowning in confusion as to why he'll be near Niklaus willingly

Niklaus was the first one entering, followed by Elijah and then I stopped walking knowing I wasn't invited in, leaning against the doorframe, the magical barrier physically stopping me from even leaning forward.

Inside, Katherine had Stefan pinned against the wall "Klaus, you're back. Look who decided to come for a visit"

Niklaus looked at Stefan "You just keep popping up, don't you?"

"I need your help" Stefan told him. "For my brother"

I perked up, interested in the conversation seeing the plead in Stefan's eyes

"Well, whatever it is, he's gonna have to wait a tick" Nik told him, gesturing at us over his shoulder "You see, I have an obligation to my brother and my cousin that requires my immediate attention"

Katherine blinked realizing I was there, giving an almost nervous smile. However, she noticed I wasn't entering the room, relaxing slightly.

"You understand how important family is, or you wouldn't be here" Elijah told Stefan. "My brother gave me and our cousin his word that he would reunite us with our own"

I smiled a small smile which faded seeing Nik holding two daggers, my eyes widening

"And so I shall" Nik told him, stabbing his brother through his heart, killing him temporarily.

My mouth parted in shock, looking at Nik

Niklaus looked up, raising  the second dagger, starting to walk closer "Now, sweet Klarysse, it's time for you to return where our family lies"

I stepped backwards, rushing away but not fast enough.

Niklaus rushed in front of me, stabbing me in the heart. I could only feel pain as I looked down at the hilt of the dagger Niklaus was holding. My skin slowly losing color turning to gray from my heart to my entire body, veins popping up, dying as long as the dagger continued being in my heart.

My knees betrayed me, falling to the floor with Niklaus gently placing me down on the floor. The last thing I saw before darkness clouded me was his face hovering on top of mine, giving me one last look before walking away

"You've been away from the family for a long time, little sister"

I heard him whisper before darkness clouded me completely
