Story of Malia Hale

Goodbye

Malia ran out of the hospital next morning with Klaus by her side. "Are you sure you want to do this?" "Yes together or not at all. They are my family and best friends basically." Malias heart was beating so fast like a hammer.

"I'll catch up with you guys. I'm taking a car. You can take a cab." "Ok just please hurry. I don't have much patience waiting." "Of course you won't wait! In fact we will probably arrive at the same time." Peter grabbed the keys out of his pocket and hopped into the car. He sped away.

"Alright Malia. I know exactly where they are." Klaus signaled for a cab and they both hopped in. "Where will it be sir?" Said the cab driver eagerly. "236 Formost Avenue. And step on it." "No problem sir. We should be there in about 5 minutes."

"Exactly how do you know where they are located?" Malia looked puzzled and buckled her seatbelt. "During the fight I put a tracker in one of their pockets. They are not getting away alive. Do you really think I'm just going to leave this alone?"

"Uh no but--why?" "For you my love." Klaus smiled and put his fingers on Malias chin. He began to get closer and closer. "Not now. It's not the time. Later. I can't focus when you're with me. This close." "What? Are you sure? Now? Why?"

"It's hard to explain just later. Trust me on this one." "Ok." Klaus took his hand away and looked out the window. "Beautiful day isn't it?" "Yes. I suppose so." Klaus then turned and looked at Malia. She put her hands on the window. Her smile and bright eyes Klaus admired. She looked happy the way she was. Klaus thought to himself that he must leave her in this fragile state for the sake of the people around her.

Just then Klaus phone rang. "Hello! Peter what is it?" "I just wanted to give you a warning. Something bads about to happen. I feel it. Get out as soon as possible." "Do you see visions? Tell me." "I see someone dying in about a minute. Now less. Klaus it isn't safe. GET OUT! You better protect my daughter. If I have to go to her funeral, you are next." "Is that a threat? Don't forget who I am. I am an original. One of the most powerful people in the world. Do not speak to me in that tone or you will loose your head."

"Ahh you see Klaus, I'm simply trying to help. Why push away? I thought we were friends? Maybe not? But be aware in less than 30 seconds someone will die." "People die every day. Now goodbye!" Klaus hung up and threw the phone across the seat. At that moment the cab driver dug a blade into his throat. The car stopped. "WHO SENT YOU? WHO TOLD YOU?" The cab driver gasped his last few breathes.

"Ma--math--ew T--ek." "Why me? I didn't want to commit suicide." The cab driver fell dead to the floor and Malia gave a bloody scream. "Don't worry luv. I've seen this throughout my centuries. Klaus looked inside the cab for something. "What are you looking for? A guy just died! Don't you care?" "No not at the moment. Just watch and learn. Klaus found what he was looking for while Malia walked and leaned over on the guy.

"You know he could still be breathing I'll check." Malia checked his pulse. "Of course he's going to be dead, so what's the point? Just move on." "But--he could have had a family! You really don't care do you?" Klaus scurried over to Malia and pointed a finger. "No I do not! We need to move on and get back Bella and Allison. Just watch now in case this ever happens to you. And look at you, you got blood all over your hands." Malia stood up and looked down. She then wiped her hands on her clothes.

"Mhm. Good job. Well we really didn't have anything to get that blood out, but I'll buy you new clothes later." Klaus pulled out the matches he found in the cab and then lit one off the side. "You just need to drop it." Klaus dropped the match and the body lit up in flames. "Wait, wasn't he human, why did you need to do it?"

"Yes he was, but you mustn't take any chances. Now, we are right across the street. Shall we?" Malia nodded and walked slowly. Klaus sped into the door looking inside. Malia caught up and followed his lead. "Ahh I see you've found the place alright. Shall I show you two inside?" Peter waved his hand into the door.

"What kind of game are you playing? Malia get behind me." "What? Why would you automatically assume it's a game. No game. No tricks. Just the truth." "Why do I feel like you're lying. I hate liars. They end up dead." Peter crossed his arms and gave an evil smirk. "What have you done with the real Peter? Who are you?" "Why Niklaus! I thought you would have figured that out by now! Didn't you get the message? Or perhaps not. But I doubt it.

"Matthew." "We meet again. Oh and before you ask yes Peter is in here but unconscious as you can tell. He really was the one who called you though." "Ok enough. Where are they?" Klaus was angry now. "Alright I will show you of course if you follow me." "Fine." Klaus gave a stern look and whispered to Malia that it was alright.

"Mmmmmmm!" "Oh shut up Allison! That's no way to talk to our guests. Wait sorry I forgot you have duck tape on your mouth. Lemme peel that off for you." Matthew pulled it off so fast it made a loud ripping noise and poor Allisons mouth bled. "What do you want with her?!" Klaus yelled. "Mhm. Wait a second. Remember the year 1800? The day we became friends and then it happened within a week?"

"What are you talking about?" "The day we were in your house, you stole my beautiful new girlfriend. Who she was going to loose her purity to. Me! But nooo. You had to come in and give her a few drinks. She fell in love with you and left me heartbroken. When you were finished with her, you killed her! My only love!"

"Oh yes in fact I do remember now. The taste of her blood was rather exquisite. The beautiful sound of snapping her neck. Sophia right? Let's not forget, I did have my humanity off that year." "And why is that? Were you so soulless and lost? Or perhaps just looking for attention?" "Well you see I am Niklaus Michaelson. I do tend to be heartless and cold. But it is our nature. After all, we are vampires who rule the world. We get what we want when we want it at no cost."

"That's you. Not me. I can do things without hurting people. You however cannot." Bella  bit through the tape and spit it out. "You idiot! You really shouldn't have done this. Look at the mess you've made Matthew!" Matthew out one hand up to silence her. Malia spoke up. "What is it that you really want here?" "Ahh the young hybrid speaks. I want revenge." "Exactly what kind?" "Now that part I was getting to. Klaus, since you stole my girl and took away her pureness, I intend to do the same. Oh no not Malia she's not my type. Allison."

Allison gave wide eyes. "No way in hell. How do you know that I am still available?" "Quite simple really. I don't see any boys around you. In fact you tend to avoid them as much as possible. Now I'm getting out of this body and going back to my new one. Peter will come back but only for a minute or so. You can say your goodbyes and he will be dead. I will return very shortly."

Everyone shouted noooo! But it was too late Matthew stabbed himself and Peter came back. "What? Ugh. I hate him!" "Shhh. You don't have long now." Malia cried and wrapped her arms around her father. "I know. Kill him for me please?" "Of course. Anything for you." "I love you and Klaus you were the best friend I ever had." "Goodbye Peter. You will forever remain in out hearts." "Yes. Please be careful." Peter held his daughters hands in the last final moments. Peter was dead.

"Malia make the pain go away. Turn off that little switch in your brain." "Wha? I don't understand! Just--everything is bright and loud! It's weird! Ok make it stop!" "Focus. Go deeper into your mind and find it. Find the urge to let go. Say goodbye." Malia thought hard and closed her eyes. It was dead silent. She then opened her eyes and got up. "How do you feel?" "Nothing. Nothing at all. You can burn his body now if you want." Klaus lit another match and lit up the body. Goodbye Peter you will forever be with us.
