The Enigma: A Klaus Mikaelson Love Story {1}

Chapter 30: I Am Hell

I sat down on the Gilbert sofa and beckoned for Klaus to sit with me. He sat beside me and rested his head on my shoulder.

"You're tired" I told him, he was dozing off on my shoulder.

"No I'm not, just resting my eyes" I rolled my eyes at him. It was so typical of him to say something like that.

"Sure you are; I'll go get a blanket. Just in case" I walked up the stairs and went into Elena's room to get her bed coverings. I suddenly remembered Kol's last words. Don't let them resurrect Silas. I picked up the coverings and went downstairs with them. Klaus had already drifted off and I lay the duvet on him, kissing his forehead.

I needed to stop them but I didn't want to leave Klaus either. I looked at one of the pictures of Elena in the kitchen and smiled. I picked up my phone and dialled a number I hadn't spoken to in a while.

"Katerina, how long has it been? I haven't seen you since the 80s! Anyway love, I have a favour to cash in"

**********************************************************************************

"Morning sunshine, you look pathetic" Tyler Lockwood walked into the house absolutely giddy with the idea of taunting my husband. Klaus was sitting on the couch distraught still at the loss of his brother.

"What about me Tyler? Do I also look pathetic?" He turned to look at me in the kitchen, making a cup of tea for Klaus. I ignored his shock and gave Klaus his tea. "It's not very mature to kick someone when their down. Keep in mind Bonnie's spell is temporary and I can disable it at any minute. Maybe he'll look angrier, maybe I'll look angrier or maybe you won't be able to see me because I'll have ripped your eyes out and fed them to your werewolf friends"

"Nice try, but the others will have come back with the cure by then" Tyler still remained confident and he was going to rock the boat. I had to take him down a peg. "I'll make him mortal, maybe even you too" he said as I walked up to him.

"You're funny" I chuckled. "I would never let you do that; your friends aren't even going to get the cure in time. But let's say you do, what makes you think the cure won't also cure his bloodline? Aren't you a part of that bloodline?"

"I think he can talk for himself" he snapped.

"I think I'm talking for him and you're going to answer me" I mimicked a stake going through his arm and grinned as he hollered out in pain.

"I don't care; you can put me through all of this but when that cure comes his sire line ceases to exist. I can kill him and only he will die. I'm just debating how to do it" I smiled and let him pull the imaginary stake out.

"Might I suggest drowning? Wait Tyler, it can't be, it can't be, Tyler. Is that your, is that your mother? She's drowning Tyler you have to save her! swim! swim Tyler!" I almost pitied him as he swam to save his already dead mother. "Tyler you can do it, just take her hands, but you're drowning now too, oh no!" I laughed as he clutched onto his chest trying to gasp for air whilst still "swimming". "You got her Tyler! Bring her to shore, but she's still drowning, she's still drowning Tyler! Save her! you have to save her! Never mind, you were too late, she's dead." He came out of his trance and realised what I had done.

"You're a monster"

"There's nothing quite like the feeling of someone fighting for something as basic as human breath, is there?" I smiled and sat down beside Klaus. Tyler stormed off and Klaus looked at me in shock.

"You turned it off" he grumbled. "You turned off your humanity"

"Why yes I did!" I said smiling at him but he scowled back.

"You can't run away from grief" he snapped. "It'll come back all at once, Kol is dead but you can get over it. Especially if I can"

"This isn't about running away from Kol's death." I snapped back. "This is about effectively getting revenge. As soon as I've made them all feel pain beyond their imagination, I'll turn it back on"

"Do you still love me?" He wasn't looking at me and part of me thought he looked absolutely pathetic, but another part—a stronger part—did love him.

"I do. I don't know why, I don't know how, but I do." I kissed him on the forehead and stood up. "But I cannot condone you being a meagre mourner. I have many plans in place Nik, I won't allow your sadness to mess them up"

"What are you still doing here?" Caroline had come too, splendid.

"Gloating"

"I wouldn't call what you're doing gloating, Tyler, I would call it trying" I said as I walked over to the two.

"Fi what are you doing here?" Caroline asked slightly scared but putting on a brave front.

"You trapped my husband, you couldn't expect me to leave him behind for your puppy to torture him" I said glaring directly at Tyler.

"Whatever, Tyler, let's just clean up this horrific burnt corpse" she said turning to look at my dead friend.

"So I killed Tyler's mother, you killed my brother, we're even. Let me out" Klaus begged, I was becoming very annoyed with my husband's behaviour.

"I will never help you again" she snapped.

"I thought the two of you were good friends." I said turning to her, placing my hands on her hips. "Didn't he save your dog from having to turn every wretched full moon, and even your mother invited him in to save your life"

"He killed his mother! And let's not forget that we're standing in a house where Elena's aunt Jenna used to live." She shot back and turned to face Klaus. "Or did you think that your charm would make us forget how you killed her, too? You know what? No. I am not going to engage in this. You are not even worth the calories I burn talking to you."

"I wish you hadn't said that Caroline." I said pushing her towards his barrier. "Just know that this will hurt you a lot more than it will hurt me" Caroline backed into the barrier and Klaus smiled.

"NO" Tyler yelled but it was too late. Klaus bit her and she fell to the floor, the werewolf venom already coursing through her body.

"Yay!" I squealed, laughing and excitedly clapping my hands like an appeased child.

"That was definitely worth the calories" Klaus grinned which just excited me even more.

"I would never make an enemy of me, Nik is evil that much is true, but I am an infinite amount worse than he will ever be" I scowled looking down at Caroline, panicking on the floor.

"Burn in hell" Tyler seethed.

"Sweetheart, I am hell"
