I had been in a distant daze for a few days since the encounter with unrecognizable creature in the torn out filth that was once probably a beautiful home, that housed a nice loving family. I hadn't been able to snap out of it until tonight. Klaus was in and out doing who knows what. He hadn't given off any hints of putting whatever that monster was up to scaring me, but I guess I can't forget the fact that Klaus can be vague and sneaky when he wants to be. Just like the unanswered question of what he wants with me, other than he "wants to be friends."'
I close my journal, light some candles and turn on some soft music mostly for some background noise, I look up realizing someone has come into my room. my eyes meet Klaus's, as I know exactly what he has: a human.
I set my journal aside, slowly getting up; and with a questioning look I take a few steps towards him. "What are you doing, Klaus?"
He smiles and walks over to me "Love" he pauses.
"It's been quite a few days since you fed on whatever animal of choice is, and I figured you'd like to indulge in the real stuff. You know, you should treat yourself every once in awhile to the little things in life." He gives me a playful wink.
I stop for a moment, losing myself in thought; and losing my sense of self control.
Klaus cuts through my moment of pondering and sits down on the edge of the bed next to me. I watch as the human stands waiting, clearly compelled.
"Look, Elena. Look at me." My eyes slowly trail up to his. Locking on, in attentive concentration.
He continues, "I know you more than you think. I know you fight yourself every day. Fight the urges of every day life, but you can't expect to be perfect. You need to let go, and enjoy eternity a little bit..."
I sternly cut him off, "Klaus, I'm not trying to be perfect, I know I'm not perfect! I've made bad decisions and choices, and I've gotten through them just fine. I'm sick of everyone thinking I'm a frail, fragile soul. I'm sick of everyone seeing me as one certain way. Everyone puts expectations on me without even realizing it, and I'm tired. I'm tired of being who everyone wants me to be. I'm not all innocent, and yes sometimes I'm afraid of regret, but I'm sick of living that way. I feel like I'm just going through the motions of every day life, when all I want to do is sink my teeth into a vein, any vein, and feel the adrenaline and rush of blood taking over my body......"
Klaus gives a big smile, realizing he accomplished exactly what he wanted..
Without further thinking, I vamp speed over to the woman looking blankly at me, waiting for something to happen. I take her and turn her head to the side... my vampy eyes and teeth out in complete exposure, I sink my teeth into her neck, the blood touches my lips and I can't stop, I want more, I want all of it. Before I can stop long enough to realize Klaus is on the other side of her drinking from her too.
The woman falls to the floor, her blood is completely drained from her body....... She's dead....
I look up at Klaus blood running down my mouth and neck, he smiles at me with his hybrid-teeth showing, I smile back with my vampy teeth covered and dripping of blood........
