Light and Darkness•Klaus Mikaelson

ɴᴏᴛ ᴏᴋᴀʏ

Hayley called me last night. She trusted Katherine and helped her get the cure only to be betrayed. I guess that's what you get for trusting a doppelgänger.

She needs protection now, she's burned all her other bridges and called me for help. Well not my help but Klaus'.

Klaus and I got into the car and drove to pick her up at some truck stop.

Before Klaus and I reached her a vampire runs and grabs her by her throat before slamming her against the side of a truck.

When I heard the commotion Klaus and I sped towards them and I spun him around to face me.

"That's no way to treat a lady." I said before throwing him to Klaus and he bites the vampire.

"You came." Hayley said getting up from the ground.

"Well, you did say it was urgent." I said helping her up. The bitten vampire gets up and speeds away.

"Oh, don't worry about him, love. He'll never make it through tomorrow night." Klaus said smirking.

"What if there are more?" Hayley asked him.

"You were foolish enough to make a deal with Katerina Petrova. She used you to find the cure and now you're nothing but a loose end. You'll be lucky if she lets you live." Klaus said and I sent him a look.

"You said you would protect me." She said looking at me.

"And we will. Just as soon as you tell him everything you know about Katherine." I said and she sighed.

We brought Hayley to my house and told my mom to stay loaded with vervain bullets before we went back to the mansion.

"Ah, what an unpleasant surprise." Klaus said as we arrived at the same time as Damon.

"So I just came up with a list." Damon said as we all walked into the house.

"It's called "Things You Two Suck At" Number one: Finding Katherine. Ever. Number two: covering up your secret phone conversations with that little backstabber Hayley. Yeah, so, where is she? What does she know about Katherine?" Damon questioned and I scoffed.

"I should help you?" Klaus questioned and Damon nodded.

"After you lot killed my brother and imprisoned Liv and I in the Gilbert living room?" Klaus questioned as Damon walked closer.

"You might want to prioritize, Klaus. You have much bigger problems." Damon said and Klaus looked at him blankly.

"Katherine has the cure. My guess is she's gonna want to cram it down your throat. You help me find Katherine, I'll get the cure, I'll give it to Elena, everybody wins. Just let me question Hayley about Katherine." Damon said and Klaus smiled as he walked closer.

"Can't help you, mate. Hayley's off limits." Klaus said and I smiled.

"I did have a run in with a vampire who may know where Katherine is. Too bad for you, Klaus bit halfway through his neck." I said giving Damon hope just to rip it away.

I was painting on a canvas as Klaus just sat back and admired.

"You know I've been meaning to talk to you about everything that's happened." Klaus said and my eyes never left the painting.

"Talk. I'm not going anywhere." I said as I continued painting.

"Are you okay since the passing of Kol and now the Gilbert boy?" Klaus asked and I sighed.

"Am I okay with the price of finding the cure was losing people I love, no. But I can at least pretend for now that it doesn't bother me." I said as I painted.

"The cure-" Klaus said but I cut him off.

"The cure is more realistically a poison. It turned Rebekah against you for the most part. It's the reason why both Kol and Jermey are dead and now Elena's off somewhere with no humanity doing god knows what. It's a poison because it's changed everything." I said honestly.

Without realizing it, tears have fallen from my eyes. I was to busy telling myself I was okay to realized that I really wasn't.

Klaus stood up from his seat and walked over taking the paint brush from my hands and placing it on a near table.

He placed his hands on both side of my faces before wiping the tears away.

Klaus brushes his hand against my cheek before grabbing me to him and I grins.

We start kissing and I pulls Klaus's shirt over his head.

Klaus vamp-speeds her up onto the table and I teared my own shirt over my head.

Klaus pushes me down flat onto the table, then mounts me and kisses my neck while I gasps and moans underneath him.
