Night Time Creatures [Klaus Mikaelson]

55 • A Deal With The Devil

Aliona's P.O.V

"There it is." Klaus spoke as he finished pouring his blood into a small bottle. "All I need in return is one of you, or both of you, to join me. Leave this miserable town and I'll show you what the world can offer." Stefan shook his head at the proposition.

"I'm not like that anymore." He shrugged, reiterating that his ripper past will remain in the past. Me however, I grew hungrier by the day, still struggling to control it. What Klaus was offering would mean that I wouldn't have to control it.

"Well that's too bad." Klaus sighed as he looked between us, neither jumping at the idea. He began to pour the blood down the drain causing me to panic slightly.

"Wait." I spoke up, Stefan looked at me in shock.

"Now that's more like it." Klaus smirked at me, causing shivers to run down my spine. "I'd like you to join me for a drink Aliona." He spoke slyly, sliding a blood bag across the table until it made contact with my hand. I gulped and glanced down at the crimson liquid in the plastic.

Klaus raised his own glass of blood as he watched me tear off the cap.

"Ali don't do this, think about how well you've done without it." Stefan whispered from next to me, however I ignored him completely and raised the bag to my lips, planning on only taking a small sip. To my own surprise I manage to pull it away from my lips before I drank more.

"Finish it." Klaus smirked as my breath caught in my throat, I knew that I shouldn't. That blood bags lead to human cravings. I'd been managing okay on the bunny diet, so had Stefan. "All of it." I glanced down at the bag in my hands and then looked at Stefan. "You do everything I say and I'll heal your brother, that's the deal."

"I do everything you say; you heal my brother and un-dagger Elijah." I spoke sternly, klaus shrugged but eventually nodded slowly.

I closed my eyes for a second before nodding to myself. Moving the bag up to my lips and drinking, relishing in the raw taste of it, I squeezed the bag to drain every last drop. It was fine. One was fine. It was nothing I hadn't handled before.

"Again." Klaus smirked as he slid another bag towards me, my face dropped as Stefan looked at me pleadingly.

"Ali let me do this." Stefan urged but I shook my head.

"No, from what I've heard it's best to keep you on the rails." I sighed. "Besides, think of it as me killing two birds with one stone; Saving Damon from a werewolf bite and you from yourself." I shrugged, looking down at the bag and nodding. Opening it and once more drinking the contents until there was nothing left. My eyes closed at the taste as I groaned, breathing heavily as the hunger continued to wash over me, despite the two blood bags I'd already consumed.

But two bags turned into three, that turned into five, and the five turned into ten. Stefan was looking horrified at me as I continued my feast, Katherine was sat in the corner with a look of amusement on her face.

"You can be very co-operative Aliona, especially when it concerns your brothers." Klaus smirked as he rose from his chair and walked over to stand next to me. "It's almost as if you're enjoying this."

"No more." I shook my head at him, Klaus raised an eyebrow. "Not until you un-dagger Elijah and give me the cure."

"I don't believe that was the deal though." Klaus spoke. "You can either remain here in Mystic Falls, or leave town with me, saving your brothers life and embracing what you truly are." He held out another blood bag, I knew that by taking this one it would mean I agree to leave with him. Maybe it was for the best, I'd be away from my family and keep them out of harms way.

I snatched the bag out of his hand, causing him to smirk.

"That's the spirit love." Klaus nodded before turning to Katherine. "Will you take Elijah's body and un-dagger him far from here and on the way, take this to Damon for me."

"Y-you want me to leave?" Katherine asked as Stefan stood up.

"No Klaus don't let her-" But Katherine was already out the door. Stefan looked at me one last time, then at Klaus before shaking his head and speeding off after Katherine.

"She won't give it to him, will she." I sighed, discarding the plastic in my hands onto the growing pile. Klaus merely shrugged as if he couldn't care less, he probably couldn't.

Klaus took me with him to where some men had kept some coffins, one with each Mikaelson sibling in.

My phone buzzed in my pocket and I checked who'd been texting me. 10 missed calls from Damon and quite a few texts too.

"Did Katherine make it in time?" Klaus asked as he walked over to me, I simply nodded before shoving my phone back into my pocket.

"Good luck getting her back." I shrugged as Klaus chuckled.

"I knew she was on vervain, I've been around long enough to not be made a fool. Besides you'll help me get her back if I desire." He smirked as I rolled my eyes.

"And when does this expire exactly?" I asked as he raised an eyebrow.

"When I want it to." Klaus shrugged.

"What do you really want from me?" I narrowed my eyes.

"All will be revealed in time, once we leave this tragic little town." Klaus nonchalantly replied.

"Can't we just go if you're done here?" I asked with a groan, wanting to go before I overthink this. 

"Alright but before we go, I've brought you a gift." He gestured to some containers, a girl walked out from behind one. She had a confused look in her eye that almost made me feel sorry for her. "Don't be afraid." He spoke to her as she walked over to us.

Klaus made sure he had one arm around the back of her neck as I stared at her, she seemed genuinely scared, as if she wasn't being compelled.

"I want to make sure you honour part of the deal." Klaus explained before sinking his teeth into her neck. "See I could compel her to behave, but a true ripper enjoys the hunt." He smirked as I felt the veins moving under my eyes, teeth growing and hunger pounding.

Klaus pulled away and pushed the girl, she took off into a run as I could feel myself smirking slightly. I sped past her so that she almost bumped into me when she realised I was now standing in front of her. She screamed for help as I grabbed hold of her, eyes looking at the blood on her neck and ears listening to the pounding of her heart.

I didn't waste any time in ripping into her neck, tasting blood fresh from the vein and realising how much I'd missed it. It couldn't even compare to the blood bags, I could feel myself becoming addicted yet I didn't care. I let the lifeless body fall to the floor, the girl's neck torn to pieces as her face remained in a permanent image of horror.

"Now we can go." Klaus spoke from behind me.
