Please, I'm A Survivor

You can hear it in the silence

I decided to feed one last time before leaving for StoryBrooke. It was a dark alleyway as a storm drew closer to the french quarter in New Orleans and i had just finished my meal before dropping the dead man to the ground. Turning to head back to the car, Elena was leaning against the brick wall giving me her signature look of distrust. 

"Would you relax? The guy was going die anyway. Heard he's a runaway thief from new York. I'm sure there's still some blood left in his system." I offered to her before walking from out of the alleyway. 

"Why in the world would you go to Klaus?"

"Because he's the last person to think of when it comes to finding some sort of help. And, no one usually thinks of him. so, I gave it a chance." I explained while licking my lips and around my mouth for leftover blood. Opening the trunk from the car i practically stole, I shrugged off the blood stained jacket and switched it out for a newer one. Elena came up to the left of me and slammed the trunk hood down. I looked at her while tilting my head to the side.

"I can barely trust you after everything you did in Mystic Falls and you still have the nerve to go to Klaus?" I could feel her anger burning inside of her. 

"Ok, I get it: Klaus ruined your life. But guess what? He ruined mine first. As evil as i still see him as, maybe just maybe, he's the one really fit for the job. And who said we had to trust him? I just need him for the extra muscle and diabolical brain." I said with a smile before giving her a look. 

She raised a brow before i shot my head to the side as Klaus was walking with a bag over his shoulder towards the car. As soon as Klaus came closer to the car, I opened the trunk once again as he threw his bag in. Slamming the trunk down, we stood there in a triangular shape on the road. 

"Doppelgangers, shall we?" Klaus said with his dark smirk. 

I rolled my eyes at the remark as i slid into the driver's seat, while Klaus entered the passenger seat, and Elena sitting behind me. This was going to be a long trip back and i could tell. Driving out of the French Quarter, i could already feel the tension between us start to rise as Klaus glanced out the window with a smile on his face. I barely gave him a plan that would work and yet i already feel doubt settling in my mind. I knew that going to Klaus would be dangerous, especially since i was supposed to be dead to him by now. But at the same time, there was no one else in my mind that could help me with such a problem of this magnitude.  Pan was danger, but Klaus and i together is even more dangerous. A part of me was somewhat frightened by the idea that Pan, Klaus and I were all the same because we had one thing in common: we knew how to manipulate people. 

It took more than a day to get back to StoryBrooke. It was late at night, well past midnight as i stopped the car at the town line. 

"What are you doing?" Klaus asked. I stepped out without giving an answer. Slamming the door shut, I walked up to the line where it glowed a brilliant red color. 

I could feel the power radiating off it but whether it was dark or light magic, i couldn't tell. Looking straight, i could see that it must have rained within the past few hours because the road was still wet in some places. 

"Scared to walk through my dear? That's not like you dear Katerina." I heard Klaus mutter under his breath as he stepped up to stand next to me. 

Slightly angry at his words, I quickly took his right hand and held onto it. Getting a surprised look, I surged a little bit of power into him to make him feel what i was feeling at the moment.

"Why do I get the feeling we're being watched from the woods?" Elena asked while keeping her eyes on the dark woods around us. Dropping my hand from Klaus's, I turned to every part of the woods around us and searched carefully. Glancing around our feet, I found a big rock, about the size of my fist, and picked it up.
