A Battle For My Heart (Klaus Mikaelson Love Story)

Chapter 9: Breakdown

I was baffled that I had a sexy dream about Marcel, then one about Klaus. It doesn't seem normal to have two dreams like that, then wake up and both people are there. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Once I finished, I went back out to the bedroom. I stood on Marcel's balcony, looking at New Orleans from a king's point of view. Well, no longer a king's point of view since The Quarter was no longer in his control.

"Hey." I heard. I turned and seen Marcel with breakfast bags. He handed me what I think was orange juice. "Thanks." I drank some of it and sure enough, it was. Marcel went to the café and got breakfast sandwiches. I ate mine then threw the trash away. "Is Klaus around?" I asked. "Yeah, he's actually in the quarter right now." Marcel said. "I need to see him." I said getting up. Marcel gave me a funny look. "It's about my dad." I ran down the steps and into the middle of the The Quarter.

"Leighanne, nice to see you." Klaus smiled. "Can I ask you something?" I asked. "Depends." He said. "I need to contact someone from Mystic Falls, like Damon, or Stefan." I explained. "Why?" He asked. "I need to know more about my dad." I said. I've been thinking about him a lot lately, and I wanted to know about more him and see what he was like during his final days. Maybe they had some old journals or diaries.

Klaus nodded, then smiled at me. "I'm planning on taking a trip soon, why don't you just come with?" He asked. Klaus and I? On a road trip? "I don't think that'd be a good idea." I admitted. "And why not?" He asked. I couldn't help but laugh, "We don't get along."

"We seem fine right now." He said. "Until you do something stupid." Klaus rolled his eyes at me. "Fine, but the offer is still up whenever you want it." Klaus said. I went back upstairs without getting answers to anything. "Klaus wouldn't give me the numbers I needed to contact my dad's best friend, but suggested that I should go with him when he visits Mystic Falls. I said no." I explained to Marcel.

"Well maybe if you'd like, we could go get Davina, she's moving in with us, Klaus's orders." Marcel said. "Typical Klaus, but sure. I'm going to get dressed." "Don't forget your clothes." Marcel joked. I kind of wanted to forget my clothes this time and on purpose. "You look nice." Marcel said once I was dressed. "Thanks" I said looking down at my grey dress.

"Let's go." He said putting his hand on my lower back and opening the door. We walked down the steps and into The Quarter to be greeted by Klaus, "Marcel." He said. Marcel sighed and turned towards Klaus, not looking for a long conversation. "What." He said. "There will be a dinner tonight, in honor of me. Pass it on." Klaus said. "Sure." Marcel said. "Where are you two going?"

"To get Davina, like you wanted king." Marcel said cockily and walked away. I followed along and we walked to the church. I was in heels and really regretted it right now. I was at least ten feet behind Marcel. I can't run in heals. Marcel turned around. "Do you always walk this slow?" Marcel joked. "I'm wearing heels." I answered. "Here, let me help." Marcel walked over to me and put me on his back. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he held onto my legs. "This is so much better than walking." I relaxed, letting Marcel have all my weight. "And thanks." I told him  resting my head on his shoulder. "Can't have you lagging behind." He joked.

I rested my head on his shoulder until we got to the church. He set me down and I walked upstairs to the attic with Marcel. "Leighanne!" Davina yelled hugging me. "You look great." I was taken back by her closeness with me. "Thanks, you too." "Thanks, and did you hear; I'm moving in with you." She said excitedly. "I know that's why we're here." I said.

She turned to Marcel and mouthed something. Marcel smiled and didn't say anything. I really wanted to know what she asked him or said to him. We started packing up her stuff and Klaus's brother Elijah walked in. I remember him from the night at the party. I've never talked to him myself though. "Marcel." Elijah greet. "I can see you've taken over the job I was going to do." He said looking around at the boxes that were already packed up. "I'm just following Klaus's orders." Marcel said taking another box to the pile.
