The Cat and the Lamb

I. The Beginning

I was bored here in Orleans; Rebekah was daggered, Kol was daggered, Marcel was annoying me, and Elijah was doing whatever Elijah does. There was nothing to do here, I needed a holiday or at the very least a new scene. I thought possibly that I could massacre a town, two or three towns over. I was headed out the door when Elijah appeared.

"What are you doing, Niklaus?" Once again he was sounding like the annoying big brother. I just wanted fun and he ruins it every time.

"I'm heading out brother. There is nothing to do here." I was once again stopped as I started to walk out the door. Elijah had sped in front of me blocking me, and ultimately angering me. Another daggered sibling didn't seem too bad right now.

"We can't have another massacre, father will suspect it." I really hated when he made sense, he always had to be the smart one.

"Well then tell me, brother. What can I do to make you happy and me not bored?" I was losing my patients and wanted to kill someone. He looked to be thinking for a while before speaking.

"Head to London. There is a fair I have heard about. Many people go missing and no one thinks twice. Just don't cause too much attention." He looked proud of himself, but it did seem like a good idea. If I did cause too much of a fuss and attracted father it would be away from here. "Not a bad idea brother. I go tomorrow." It was settled. Tomorrow I would head to the boats and get on the first one headed to England.

The next day I packed a small bag and headed to the docks. I compelled the captain to give me his quarters and I was headed to England. I arrived in a little over a week and, once again, compelled a ticket for the first train to London. I hadn't expected the streets to be so crowded when I got there, but I first found a, ever so generous, host to let me bunk with them. I got situated in their master bedroom, and had a quick snack from the wife, before heading out to the fair. I took a deep breath in and smirked at the thought of how much fun I was going to have. The streets were filled with people, there was so many different sounds that no one would be able to hear someone scream. I noticed a human female stumbling around and my smirk grew, she was going to be the first one. I took another breath in and stopped. There was a sent that I had never smelled before. It was alluring, it smelled delicious, and it was better than the doppelgänger. I need to find it, it was getting closer. I felt someone bump into me; I was going to ignore it until I realized the smell was coming from the woman that hit me. She was falling so I quickly caught her. She was beautiful she had brown hair that was in a typical up-do for women, but didn't look fake like the vast majority of the women. The light aqua dress looked to fit her perfectly, like she had put those ridiculous layers on but not as tight as what they were supposed to be.

"Oh, shoot! Oh, I am so sorry." She started to speak and her voice was hypnotizing, "My sister was pulling me and I-" she finally had looked up at me and, I am assuming, forgot to keep talking as she was staring at me. I started to smirk when I realized that she was completely distracted by me. However, my smirk is what caused her to snap out of her staring and start talking again. "I am very sorry I don't know what came over me." She was blushing and I finally took notice of exactly how beautiful she was. As she spoke I watched as her lips moved perfectly with each word and took notice of the slight twitch her nose made when she would pronounce certain words. I couldn't help but keep a smirk on my face, she was intriguing. "I promise you I'm not normally this rude, my sister was pulling me and I tripped over the stones."

"Don't worry about it love, I would be glad to have you trip onto me any time." I couldn't help but to smirk again as I thought of inappropriate situations. "My name is Kla-" I couldn't tell her my real name, she might know who I am. I still don't know what she is yet. I had to create a new name, "Killian, Killian Avery Thomason." I hoped that was a good enough cover. "And whom might you be, love?" I notice her furrow her brows, and got slightly worried she would ask questions. I then noticed her blush once again and unintentionally smirked knowing I had an effect on her.
