The Enigma: A Klaus Mikaelson Love Story {1}

Chapter 11: Quite Contrary

I normally can go to sleep with no issues but tonight sleep would not find me. I sat in bed, resting my shoulders on my knees, thinking about Mystic Falls. It was a quaint little town but it seemed to only welcomed the cursed and the damned. I had been there for such a short time, yet it had already made me feel this way. Alone. The Mikaelsons and the Salvatores were both bad people, both acting selfishly. The Salvatores had been ready to kill me without so much as a second thought but the Mikaelsons were just as bad, torturing other people and even themselves to get their way. It felt like I was the only person in this bloody town that had any sense of morality and even I wasn't any better. I knew that Klaus's actions were wrong but that didn't stop me from being in love with him. I could push him away constantly but I knew that I was just biding my time until I inevitably gave up and took him back. As if that wasn't bad enough I was stringing poor Jeremy along, he was so sweet and lovely but I just used him as a distraction for Klaus. Like it or not, I was a Mikaelson and I was also selfish and I also tortured people to get my way. I had to leave, Mystic Falls changes people, it was already changing me and I couldn't let it take everything away from me. Everything that I am.

I sat like that until morning came. I watched the sky move through all its different shades of purple, red and orange before it finally settled on its usual sky blue. It was 7 AM when my phone rang. Kol. I hadn't really spoken to him the whole time since he'd been awakened, I was scared of hurting Klaus but I had also hurt Kol. I knew that I wouldn't be able to leave without making amends with everyone I had hurt, I had to apologise.

"Hello Kol"

"Fiore, are you ill? You sound like you've got a frog stuck down your throat" He chuckled. I was trying to come across as confident but evidently I had failed miserably.

"Just needed to clear my throat" I said pretending to cough. "So um, what's up?" I asked him.

"Alrighttt, well the Salvatore brothers have recently discovered that if you kill an original, their bloodline goes along with them, they're going to find Rose and when they find out that Klaus turned her- "

"It's lights out for the rest of you." I finished.

"Got it in one. So care to accompany me on a trip to keep our friend Mary from spilling the beans?" He asked. I didn't want to hurt Klaus but I owed this to Kol. Besides, getting away from this place would do me good.

"Of course, I'd love to." I replied.

"Great, now get out so we can go."

"You're already here?"

"Did I not already mention that? Whoops."

"It's 7AM."

"I forgot you had an unnatural sleep pattern. Tough luck, out you pop."

"Kol-" I was cut off by the sudden beep. He had ended the call.

"I see you're still not ready. Since you've been getting ready, I'd already finished a phone call with someone." Kol said, smirking as he leaned against the door frame.

"Just give me a minute." I picked out some sweats before Kol gagged.

"You can't be serious, Fi! We're not going to Ikea; we're going to see Mary for goodness sake. She tried it on with Klaus if you don't remember, although that day must have been memorable for you, I've never seen someone snap their neck so many times." He said, laughing evilly.

"Oof, poor girl." I said sadly. I had been a different person back then, with no regard for people that weren't myself.

"Don't be like that! You used to be so much more fun when you were crazy. What did you always used to say? Yes, we're all mad here, that was it. Still mad at dear Charlie for stealing your work?" He said pouting.
