The Original Queen. (Klaus Mikaelson Fanfiction)

Chapter 53: I Don't Need Your Help.

Recap:

"Because," Noah cupped her cheek and Talia turned away. "I can, beautiful." Feeling sick, Talia stepped away from him, but he grabbed her arm and pulled her along. "Come along, beautiful, unless you want someone to die? This time, it'll be your brother. I know he's in Denver."

"Then you'll also know he's not my brother." Talia gritted her teeth and allowed herself to be pulled along. "How did you know I'm a witch?"

"I know everything, beautiful." Noah smirked. "I've been watching you and ever since I saw you, I knew you were the one." Noah pushed Talia into the car and sped to the driver's seat. Quick as a flash, he produced a syringe and Talia paled.

"Please, don't." Talia whispered fearfully as she kept her eyes on the amber liquid. "Please, not that."

"I have to, beautiful, I can't risk you trying anything. Not before the meeting."

Talia frowned. "What meeting?"

"Never you mind." Noah crooned as he ran his finger along Talia's sharp jawbone and he stabbed the syringe in her neck. Chuckling, Noah watched as the witch hazel took effect. "Sleep tight, beautiful." Noah threw a blanket over Talia's knocked out body put on a song on the radio before he drove off, smirking. My Girl.

Chapter 53:

Elena was sitting at the kitchen table as she flicked through her magazine. The door opened and she looked up. "Oh, hey. Oh, it's just you, Ric."

"Expecting someone else?" Alaric put the kettle on and sat opposite her.

"Just Talia. I need to talk to her about something. Ask her advice, ya know. But she's still asleep." Elena licked her thumb and turned a page of the glossy magazine. "I hope she wakes up soon as I really need to talk to her."

"She's not in her room." Alaric spoke. "Her bed hasn't been slept in." He looked at Elena. "Did she come home last night?"

"I think so." Elena frowned. "I wouldn't know, I mean, I stayed at Bonnie's house. Bon was upset with what happened with Abby and... hey, didn't you come home last night?"

"I stayed at school. Must've fell asleep at my desk." Alaric touched his neck and groaned. "God, I have this crick in my neck."

"Serves you right." Elena chuckled. "Maybe you should get Damon to snap your neck and the crick will be gone?"

"Very funny. Have you heard from Jeremy?" Alaric made himself a large cup of coffee.

"He called a couple of hours ago. He's settled in and...jeez, are you sure you've put in enough sugar?" Elena was stunned as Alaric heaped in 4 spoonfuls of sugar in his mug.

"I need sugar." Alaric took a long gulp and shuddered. "More sugar."

"Wow." Elena chuckled. "Where can Talia be?"

The kitchen door opened and Damon strolled in. He took the bagel that Alaric was about to bite, leaving the history teacher astonished. "She's probably out with Lexi or Tyler. She did mention she was planning something with Lexi." Alaric snatched the bagel off Damon again.

"Damon, you haven't seen Ta-" Elena was cut off.

"Never mind Talia," Damon spoke impatiently. "I have a hunch about who killed Mr Medical Examiner."

Alaric stared at her friend and then he sighed. "You're not gonna drop it, are you?"

"Nope." Damon grinned.

"Fine." Alaric wedged the bagel between his teeth and grabbed his jacket. "Come on then. Honestly, you're worse than a damn kid!"

Elena chuckled as Damon and Alaric walked out. She looked at her magazine and turned the page over ever so slowly. Her phone rang and without looking, she picked up. "Hey? Oh, hi, Bon. How're you feeling?"
