Chapter 4 | Threats + Games = Deep Shit
"Nothing to prove and
I'm bulletproof and
Know what I'm doing
The way we're movin' like introducing
Us to a new thing
I wanna savor, save it for later
The taste of flavor, 'cause I'm a taker
'Cause I'm a giver, it's only nature
I live for danger."
Dangerous Woman | Ariana Grande

" Niklaus!" I holler into the night , walking behind my brother, attempting to get him to understand.
"It's a trick brother." He exclaims in denial.
"No brother," I deny, " it's a gift. It's your chance, our chance!"
"To what?" Klaus asks, his arms flailing in the air.
I almost roll my eyes at his obliviousness but instead reply in a strong voice,
"To start over. To take back everything we lost, everything that was taken from us. Niklaus, our own family came to despise us, our family was ruined! We were ruined! Since then all you've ever wanted, all we've ever wanted, was a family."
" I will NOT be manipulated!" He portrays before turning around.
I super speed in front of him and continue on with my speech, irratation and a little bit of desperation seeping into my voice as I do so.
"So they're manipulating us! So what? With them, this girl and her child, your child," I explain, " live!"
There was a split second of silence, though despite my wishes, Klaus' reaction was not one I wanted.
" I'm going to kill every last one of them!" He declares, shoving me in my chest and spinning, only to find me in front of him again.
"And then what? You return to Mystic Falls to resume your life as the hated one, the evil hybrid? Is it so important to you that people quake with fear at the sound of your name?" I question, frustrated.
"People quake with fear because I have the power to make them afraid! What will this child offer me, will it guarantee me power?!" He remarks.
"Family is power," I announce, "love, loyalty, that's power! This is what we swore to each other a thousand years ago before life tore away what little humanity you had left! Before ego, before anger, before paranoia, created in this person before me, someone I can barely even recognise as my own brother!" I reveal, relief flooding through me as i admit the one thing that haunts me each and every night.
Slowly, Klaus steps forward and i continue on, knowing that somehow I can get through to him.
"This is us! The Original family, and we remain together, always and forever. I am asking you to stay here. I will help you, and I will stand by you. I will be your brother, and we will build a home here together!" I state gesturing to our home, only a hundred years ago.
"So save this girl," I repeat, placing my hand on his shoulder affectionately, " save YOUR child!"
In a moment of weakness, I do not notice the predatory calm that has washed over my brother as he cups my shoulder in return and to my dismay says the one thing I don't want to hear.
The answer still swirls in the air, suffocating me, whilst my arm goes slack at my side, my mind reeling at the response.
I was so sure... I think to myself as I turn and leave, a new plan already forming in my mind.
