Forbidden (Klaus Mikaelson Love Story) #1 in the Forbidden series

Chapter 22

Sighing after, I had finished my ransack of Carol Lockwood's booze collection, I stumbled into the Boarding House with my heels in my hand, I had a wicked buzz going and I was damn content with my day, walking into the library where Ric and Damon were conversing I flopped down next to Ric and stole his glass of bourbon.

"Today was a bust" Damon said his eyes trained on me and I took a hesitant sniff and then sip of the drink, the incident from earlier was still making me shutter.

"Tell me about it" I mumbled handing back the glass to Ric who was smirking, he was not going to let me live that shit down was he? I might have to pay him off with something, or maybe I should just sic Jenna on him and run.

I leant onto Ric's shoulder and sighed happily "yeah" he said shaking it, causing my head to bob up and down, I punched his arm lightly and then continued to lounge, some vampire hunter he was, letting me snooze on him like this "how's the throat?" He asked Damon, I peeled one eye open and saw my brother rub his neck with a wince.

"Sore" he mumbled, making me laugh, he glared at me but it only made my laughing fit worse "You're no help" he grumbled, this time Ric joined in.

"Yeah, that Elijah's one scary dude, but with nice hair" he finished his glass and shrugged me off his shoulder, "hey you want another one?" He asked Damon who just held his glass out and then at me, my buzz was waining so I just nodded, Ric walked behind me and began to pour our drinks.

"He's gonna be hard to kill" Damon mumbled, he clenched his jaw as he thought about how hard it was to kill Elijah, making me roll my eyes.

"Tell me about it" I mumbled as Ric handed me the glass I took a sip and gagged, the asshole put vervain in my glass again, I looked over at him and glared, he just snickered, fucking child.

"Yeah, I'd think twice before I'd trust that dagger and some ashes to do the job, you're gonna need more info" Ric said dodging the pillow I tried to smack him with.

"I'm out of sources" Damon mumbled, looking at me, I tensed but decided that I would let him know a tiny bit, to be honest I didn't know much about the daggers, I only knew just enough to threaten Klaus when he irritated me.

"I don't know much but what I do know is they do work, but I don't know how or why" I looked down into my cup, contemplating wether or not I could stomach drinking the rest of the glass, releasing my breath I gulped it down and then shook my head, trying to get rid of the taste.

"What's up with you and this news chick?" Ric asked Damon with a raised eyebrow, he was treading in dangerous waters with this living blood bag situation.

"She's got spunk, huh?" Damon asked with a smile, if I didn't know my brother as well as I do I'd think it was genuine but because he's my brother and Ric is his best friend we knew he was anything but sincere.

"Just don't kill her, please" Ric said sounding so tired of Damon's crap he was about ready to stab him in the eye with the dagger.

"If I did, who would report her death?" Damon joked with a shrug, grabbing the pillow that was wedged between Ric and I, I threw it at him as hard as I could, Damon dodged it easily but managed to spill his drink into his lap.

"Just don't do it, all right? She's friends with Jenna, and it's bad enough that Im lying to her about everything else, I'm sick of the lies" his phone buzzed and he groaned before knocking back his drink "I gotta go pick up Jenna, I'll uh... show myself out" he put his glass down and left the room.

"Good luck" I called before looking at Damon and then at the wet patch on his lap "aren't you a bit old to be pissing your pants?" I asked with a giggle that was short lived when there was a thump in the hallway, getting up quickly Damon and I found Ric stumbling backwards, one of my vases was wobbling on its stand, Ric then slumped to the ground and died, I went to turn to Damon but something landed on my back causing me to scream, I grabbed whoever it was but ended up getting injected with something through my neck, stumbling to my knees, the world became dark as I watched Damon struggle against another intruder.
