His (A Niklaus Mikaelson Fanfic)

Chapter 21: I Know Now

"Alice could you please show our guest out?" I nodded and snapped my fingers causing the man to be thrown straight out of the apartment through the open balcony door. Thats when I noticed the envelope. It sat on the table and reaked of Kol's scent.

Meet me by the docks. Come alone. I have a surprise for you.

Kol

I quickly got dressed and walked into the living room. "Oh no-" "I am going for a walk Klaus and yo u know I can take care of myself." I said making him sigh and nod as I walked out of the apartement. I made my way to the river watching the waves crash against the hard rocks. I could feel him watching me. "I know you're there Kol so just show yourself." I said. Kol appeared before me. "You called Alice?" He was smirking. "Yes I need your help to-" "You want to save both of you so you can live happily ever after? Well the only way to do that is to use black magic." He said. "Actually I-" He cut me off again.

"You need to know how to break it to do it yourself? Well I-" "For the love of God!" I practically yelled. "I want you to kill me on the night of the full moon." I said in a hushed tone. "What?!" He said in shock. "Kill me and Klaus will live." I said bluntly. Kol was surprised would be a complete understatement.

"Why would you die for my brother?" Kol asked finally recovering. "Because I'm in love with him." Kol shook his head. "He doesn't love you? How many times do I need to say it? If it was a choice between you or him he's choose himself." Kol said angrily. I looked at him seriously. "So be it." Kol looked confused.

"I need to know if you can do it Kol? I dont have time to waste. I have twelve more days to find someone. So if you can't do it I can find someone else." I said sharply. "I can do it." He said solemly. I nodded and walked away towards town. "You have to kill me at midnight when the moon is at it's highest peak." I said and disappeared into a cloud of smoke.

I opened the door to my apartment to find Klaus speaking with Rebeka. Klaus was beside me in seconds. "Where were you?" He asked angrily. "By the river." I said calmly and pulled my jacket off. "You need to stay inside. Kol might-" I put my hand up to stop him from talking. "Klaus I get you're trying to protect me but I'm not some fragile china doll. I can handel myself and you know it." I said smiling.

I pecked his lips and gave a worried looking Rebeka a hug. "I was worried because one of my hybrids Darrel that young chap who you threw out has gone rouge. He's trying to kill me for turning him so he'll do anything to harm me. He may come after you." Klaus said rubbing my shoulders from behind me. "It's alright Klaus. I'll be good." I said softly. He rested his head on my shoulder and hugged me to his chest.

Kol's words rung out in my head. If he were to choose between you and him. He' d choose himself. I felt my body go numb. What if it were all true. What is Klaus didnt love me? I stopped kissing back.

"What's wrong love?" He asked concerned. I shook me head in response. "Love please tell me?" I could see the worry in his eyes. "It's just....too soon." I lied. "I've barely had any time with you." He chuckled. "Love we've known each other for over 600 years." I shook my head. "I mean it just....." He smiled softly and kissed my temple. "It's alright love. I can wait for as long as you need." He said making me I smile and kiss him.

It became a pattern. Pretending to look for hours then going down by the river. Klaus was constantly worried about me being kidnapped but I refused to let anyone come with me insisting that I needed time to myself. When in reality I was writing a song for Klaus to say goodbye. I didnt want him to lose hope. I wanted him to live a long happy life. I wanted him to move on. Even though I wasnt very sure he loved me I still pretended like I knew he did.

It was day eight and I had just settled down to write when I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to see a young man who looked about twenty. He had electric blue eyes and raven black hair and was wearing all black from head to toe. He was good looking but my heart was with Klaus. "Get up." He growled aiming a gun at me. "That's loaded with wooden bullets? Smart." I stood up calmly. He grabbed a handful of my hair and dragged me into a black car. I felt silver chains bind my hands and ankles then a gross peice of cloth was shoved over my mouth. I smelt something sweet and dry. Before I knew what was happening everything went dark.

I woke up in a dimly lit room with nothing but a single flickering bulb to help me or my captor see. My hands and feet were tied with rope to what seemed like a stone altar. "Do you know why you're here?" The man asked me as he appeared beside me from the dark shadows of the room. "No." I said simply. "You are Klaus' weakness. You are going to help me kill him." He said smirking. "No." I said simply. "No? No?" He said raising an eyebrow. "Yes no! What are you a freaking parrot?" I said irritatedly.

"Let's try and change you're mind. I felt my left hand get untied then a striking pain shot through my hand. I had to bit my lip to stop myself from screaming as I turned to see a wooden stake sticking out from the palm of my hand. I felt the same feeling in my right hand as well as my ankles. "Going to help me yet?" The man asked darkly. "No Darrel I won't help you." I hissed angrily attempting to stop myself from screaming out in pain.

"Good," He said while smirking. "cause this is going to be fun then." I heard the click of a lever then the hatch of the spot light above me opened into a cresent moon form showering my face, arms and chest with sunlight. I screamed as a burning sensation took over my body. The son of a bitch took my daylight ring! Little by little Darrel opened the hatch until my entire body burned. Suddenly the hatch closed completely.

This process was repeated multiple times. "Do you want to help me now?" Darrel asked angrily. "No way in hell!" I yelled. "FINE I'LL JUST USE THAT DUMB BLONDE BROAD OF A SISTER KLAUS HAS!" Darrel roared cocking his gun back clearly giving up on me. My eyes changed from grey to black. "You really shouldn't have said that." I said. Darrel turned just in time to feel all four stakes enter his body. He fell to the floor howling in pain.

I watched as my wounds healed. The beauty of being a vampire. He stood up angrily and lunged at me. I quickly cartwheeled backwards. As I did I secured my daylight ring and smiled. "I'm wearing my ring too red so you cant kill me using the sunlight." He said smirking. I laughed. "You mean this ring?" I said levatating his baby blue ring above the palm of my hand. He froze and looked down at his finger in shock. "Time's up Darrel." I waved my hand flicking the switch causing the hatch to fully open and I watched as Darrel burned to ashes.

I quickly left the warehouse I was being held at to find Klaus leaning against a black range rover. He frowned at me. "What?" I asked. "Were you expectly Darrel?" He chuckled and shook his head. He got into the driver seat while I hopped into the passenger seat. I checked the mirror and was shocked to see the amount of blood that covered my clothing. Ah so that's why Klaus frowned. "What did he do to you?" He asked gently.

"Pinned me to a stone alter using stakes then exposed me to sunlight without my daylight ring." I said as if it was nothing. Klaus almost hit another car. "He did what to you?!" He asked angrily. He gripped the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles were white. "Klaus it's okay! I'm okay!" I said trying to calm him. "It's not okay! He tried to-" "Force me to help him kill you. Yeah I know. I was there." I said irritated. "Look Klaus I get you're scared about losing me but you need to relax. I'm ok. I'm still breathing." He nodded but his grip on the steering wheel tightened. I sighed.

The rest of the car ride was a tense silence. "Klaus I'm fine!" I said as we got out of the car. He spun around angrily. "You were tortured today because of me Alice! That is not okay!" He shot back. "Alice I just- Watch out!" Klaus lunged forward. I turned in confusion to see a human gripping a stake driving it straight into Klaus' shoulder.

I froze. If he were to choose between you and him he's choose himself. Kol's words sounded in my head. You're wrong Kol. I lunged forward breaking the man's neck. Klaus ripped the stake out of his shoulder. "Must've been Darrel's partner. Rebekah had her suspicions about him having one." Klaus said rolling his shoulders back in a relaxed fashion.

I jumped up wrapping my legs around his torso and kissing him passionately. "I love you." I whispered pulling away. He smiled and pressed his lips against mine again. "I love you too." He whispered back nibbling my ear. I know Klaus. I know now that you truly love me.
