City Of Light

Chapter 58

"What?" Esther and Melissa said at the same time. Esther mostly like she was surprised and impressed and Melissa shocked but in a 'no-way' tone.

"I said: Take me." Klaus repeated himself.

"Are you joking?" - "That's great!" Esther and Mel said simultaneously once again.

"I'm not joking I am being deadly serious, sister." Klaus said, his voice cold and stable.

"Excuse us, for like a little tiny second." His twin sister said and grabbed him by his arm, pulling him in the hallway. 'What the hell do you think you are doing?" she said sort of angry as she hit his arm.

"I am protecting the woman that I love from our stupid and crazy mother. That is what I am doing." Klaus said in the same voice tone as before. You could notice how serious and sure was about his decision not only from his voice tone but also from his expression. There was no emotion, his expression looked deadly cold and serious, which proved he wasn't joking and he hadn't planned something on his head.

Which meant that if the other weren't gonna figure out a plan soon enough he was probably gonna be dead in a while from now.

"Are you freaking listen to the bullshit you say, Nik?" Mel said utterly pissed at her brother. "You are about to let our mother kill you for the woman you love. I get that, I get that you want her back and you wanna get ride of our mother like all of us and I want and need my best friend back but this in not the freaking way on how we should do it, Niklaus!" She yelled at him. "Betty aka the woman you are protecting who is also my best friend, my sister and Kai's best friend too would never EVER want you to do that. I know that she would prefer Esther in her body and you alive but this is clearly not an option either. We gotta have our minds cleaned and plan something good if we ALL wanna get out of this: A L I V E." Melissa finished her sentence as she looked at Klaus.

"You may be right but I do so not see any other options here. Mother clearly stated that it's either her stay or a Mikaelson dead. And let's be real she would prefer an Original Hybrid dead and since you are most likely to be her favorite twin she could gladly kill me." Niklaus replied.

"True. This is very very true. She may prefer me but I do not prefer nor like my brother's death, do you hear me? And to make this clear you are not sacrificing yourself or doing anything about it except thinking a goddamned plan." Mel said through gritted teeth. "You are my older brother, you should influence me in a good way. a c t l i ke i t." She continued before walking back in the living room with her annoying mother, Davina, Marcel and her fiance as her twin brother followed right behind her.

"Okay, so tell me. Shall I let Betty take control of her body so she could say goodbye to Niklaus and then take over her body again so I can disappear and leave you all continue your lives peacefully?" Esther said.

"No." Klaus said.

"Excuse me? What do you mean by no?" His mother said.

"A no is a no, mother. I changed my mind. I am not gonna die, I am not sacrificing myself. We are all so not letting you win. After all, who knows that you are really gonna let Betty get back to her body if you kill one of us." Klaus hissed. "You are so not trustworthy, mother. You've always been."

"I have no problem sticking around in Betty's gorgeous body for longer." Esther said trying to get on their nerves. "If I am lucky enough real Betty wont even come back to the surface again. What a nice day to be alive." She said and after that she was pressed against the wall by Klaus.

"Your tricks or whatever you are trying to do is not gonna work. Betty can beat you in less than a second so don't get your hopes up to stay in her body for much longer, mother." Klaus said and then let her go.

"I will let you all make a decision. Till then I will be upstairs if you need me." Esther said and walked upstairs as Klaus rolled his eyes and Kai and Mel gave her a death stare.

"Kai, hadn't you left Lissa upstairs?" Mel asked looking at him.

"Oh my- yes she is upst-"

"Don't worry I'll go look after her, you all should stay here make a decision or a plan." Davina said interrupting Kai and stopping him from going upstairs.

'Thank you." Kai said and Davina nodded in thanks.

"I probably have to go since I don't really have something to do here." Marcel said.

"Wait, no.. You may be needed if you actually drop a few ideas." Klaus said stopping Marcellus from exiting the house.

Marcel stayed and walked back to them.

"So, are excluding the put-esthie-witchie-bitchie-in-another-body option?" Kai asked and they all looked at him weirdly when they heard Esther's nickname he had just said.

"First of all what's up with the nickname and second of all she won't jump on another body for sure. Being in Betty's body is very helpful for her and we can't put her somewhere else against her will." Klaus explained.

"So we can make another deal." Marcel said.

"Deals, deals, deals. You should like someone who is employed in a bank." Kai told Marcel and they all gave him a look again. "Yeah, I will stop talking."

"What have you got in mind, Marcellus?"

"Ask her for another deal, something that does not involve death. At least not that much of death."
"This isn't such a good big pl-"

"I agree let's go on with it and if we don't like what she asks for we think of something else." Klaus said cutting off Mel.

They brought Esther downstairs and asked her about the new-ish deal.

"Fine, my new deal is..'' she said skeptical "a curse."

"okay, keep going."

"it wont be for all the Mikaelsons, only the two worst."

Klaus and Mel eyed eachother.

"I wanna make a curse like the one that had been on a pack before. Niklaus and Melissa will be wolves except on full moons when they will be turning into their human back again."
