Klaus comes back from his phone call around 15 minutes later looking rather annoyed, however the good thing is that marcel is near enough back to normal.
"What has gotten to you Nicklaus?" Marcel asks
"My idiotic brother as always." He replies
"Is there ever a day were you two do not have a disagreement?" Marcel says.
"Never, only when I stick a knife in his heart for a few years." Klaus says smirking.
"You are family, why would you do such a thing?" I ask with a disgusted look on my face.
"Do not give me that look, Hurting the ones we love, it's just what we do. It is what we are. All of my siblings have hurt me too and tried to kill me but we apologise and move on like a normal family." Klaus says
"Yes, but a normal family wouldn't stab another in the heart or try to kill one another." I say
"That is because they are not immortal. Now it looks like marcel is back to normal again so how about we leave him to it and go and get a little snack?" Klaus says
"Do you even eat normal food?" I say a little confused
Klaus and marcel start laughing.
"Yes love, we eat like any other but we do also drink blood just not how you would expect vampires would." Klaus says still laughing.
It is quite refreshing to see him properly smiling for once instead of that creepy smirk he gives me all the time.
"What do you mean?" I ask
"We do not go out and purposely kill someone for their blood, we have blood bags from hospitals. We all have that craving for fresh warm blood but it's not the way we do things here in New Orleans. We have mortal friends, tourists, witches and werewolf's. If we went around killing people to feed, there would be no body left." Marcel says whilst standing up showing off his toned stomach.
"Stop drooling Bennett, come on we are going." Klaus says
"I was not drooling, and my name is Tilly." I snap
"You always do attract the feisty ones Klaus." Marcel says giving Klaus a wink as we walk out of the room.
"What was you arguing with Elijah about?" I ask Klaus
"Well he does not agree with what we are doing, he says you should be able to live your life freely and not be an experiment." Klaus says
"He is right though, does that mean I can go home" I say to which Klaus just sighs.
Absolutely not." Klaus replies with one of his smirks.
We walk to car in silence but something is just niggling at my brain. Why does he need me?
"Why are you doing Klaus? Why is it so important for you to make me become this immortal beast that everyone will be terrified of?" I ask
"I am not doing this to hurt you Tilly, all of us live with a demon inside. Some days you control the demon. And other days it controls you. And it is always hungry. It feeds on lust and longing. And while you may slumber, the demon never sleeps. It tempts you into crossing every line you've ever drawn, all the while it tests you, haunts you. And once it has turned your loved ones into enemies, the demon has consumed you whole. All I want to is prevent that from happening, I do not want you to let the demon win, I want you to fight it and become a magnificent being that can love, be happy but at the same time cause absolute destruction and chaos when needed." Klaus says and I was not expecting those words to come out of his mouth. I thought he was doing all this for his benefit not mine.
"How do you know I won't just be as I am now?" I ask
"People never are when they release there magic or quench their bloodlust for first time. They feel a sense of power and want to carry on hunting for power until they have destroyed everything they ever was. You my love are no different." He says smiling
"Is that what you did? Destroy who you were?" I ask him anxiously
"I did that and more, I have lived for a thousand years, the things I have done are unforgivable there is not even an ounce of the person I was before I became a hybrid left." He says in a quite a sad tone
"Do you not like who are you now?" I ask him
"Right now, I do not mind being me, as I have a beautiful little girl, people who I can trust but if you asked me that question two years ago the answer would be no I do not like who I am." He says before turning away and starting the car.
He is growing on me. He does not seem like the murderous nasty man I thought he was at all. He is troubled yes but only like everyone else.
