Chapter Twenty-Six:: The Ties That Bind
S3E12

"It's so Caroline Forbes in this closet." I tell Caroline as I look for something to wear. "Maybe because Caroline Forbes owns this closet." she says as she hands me a blue jean jacket, a black dress, and some brown heels. "I like this one, bestie. Put it on, then we'll talk about your kiss with the apple." she says. "Do we have to?" I ask. "Yes! Now change!" she orders. "Gosh, chill Care." I say. I walk into the bathroom and change. After I fix my hair and use some of Caroline's makeup. I walk out once I'm done. "Okay. You're definitely keeping that outfit." she tells me. I laugh and sit on the bed. "Okay. Spill Natalie Pierce." "Look, Care, I thanked Klaus for helping you. We talked and then he kissed me. I wasn't thinking straight, so I kissed back and it got a little heated." I tell her. "Yeah, make out against my house heated. He's the bad guy, Ali." "I know. It won't happen again, hopefully." "Oh my god! You enjoyed it, didn't you?!" she exclaims while standing up. "Maybe, a little. Don't kill me." I say. "Awe! Bestie! That's so sweet! But he's still a crazy, horrible person." I laugh and say, "Yeah, I know." We stand up and walk towards the door. "Okay. See you later, Care-Bear." "Alright. Love you!" she calls out as I walk away. "Love you too!" I call back to her.

I walk into the boarding house. Once I'm inside I hear music blaring. "Damon? I swear to god if you're daydrunk!" I call out. I walk into the living room and find Klaus sitting in a chair. "Seriously?! Why are you here?!" I ask him as I turn the music down. "I thought you'd be happier to see me, love." he says with a smirk. I walk over and stand in front of him. "What's that supposed to mean?" I ask with my arms crossed. He stands so he is in front of me. "You know what I mean, Natalia." he says and places his hand on my cheek. I back away from him, but he moves closer. "Don't fight your feelings, darling." He leans in and places his lips onto mine. I close my eyes, but open them quickly and pull away. "No, no. This isn't right." I say and move away from him. He gets a glass and fills it with some of Damon's alcohol. He turns the music back up and sits down. He looks at me with a smirk and says, "So wrong, but feels so right." I roll my eyes at him and Stefan walks in. "Thank god. Hi Stefan." I say and walk over to him. He turns the music off and says, "Hey, Ali. What are you doing here, Klaus?" he asks. "Enjoying our stalemate." Klaus says. "What do you want?" Stefan asks. "The question is what you want? My hybrids left town as you demanded, so please tell me what I need to do to get my family back." Klaus says. "Well, see...Klaus...I'm not negotiating." Stefan says. "And you understand, that holding them indefinitely is the same thing as dropping them in the ocean?" Klaus asks. "No, No. You leave Mystic Falls and then give me call in a few years and we'll talk." Stefan says. "I can give you another chance. Just one more. Let's make a reasonable deal." Klaus says. "Or what? You make one move and I will drop..." Stefan starts, but Klaus laughs and asks, "Yes, right. Crazy Stefan. How is that working out for you? Any friends left?" I roll my eyes at them.

Later that day Damon comes by. "Hey Tallie. How was Caroline's?" he asks me. "Good." I say. "Great. Let's go." he says and pulls me towards the door. "Hold up, Salvatore! Where am I going?" I ask. "Old witch house. Now, come on." he says. "Ugh, fine."

We walk into the witch house. A few seconds later Klaus walks in. "Great. Can I leave?" I ask Damon. "Nope." he says with a smirk and I roll my eyes. "What took you two so long? Hiding behind your witchy friends. And in squalor, no less." Suddenly the candles burn brighter and Klaus falls to his knee, clutching his head and shouting in pain. "Insulting a bunch of dead witches...not smart." I tell him. "I made the exact same mistake first time I came in here." Damon says. The pain subsides and Klaus speaks in a forced, strained voice. "Well, you know, the funny thing about witches is, that living or dead, they care about their own. A hundred dead witches have a thousand living descendants..."
The pain returns. Klaus shouts out in pain. He then talks in a loud voice, addressing the room.
"And I have no problem, killing every last one of them, if I don't get my coffins back. As we speak, my hybrid friend is prepared to end the Bennett line." he says. The candles die down suddenly, and Klaus isn't in pain anymore. He again talks to the room. "Now...please...show me the coffins." he says. Suddenly the coffins appear. "Here we are." he says an looks at Damon. "Where's the fourth?" he asks. "Show me!" he yells at the room. "Well, here's the thing. They can't. It's not here." I say. "What did you two do?" he asks us. "Well, Bonnie gave me the heads-up. I didn't have enough time, to get all four, but I did have time to get one." Damon explains to him. "I will tear you, limb from limb. And only then, when you're a riving mass of blood and flesh, will I rip your heart from your chest." Klaus threatens. "Sorry. The same rules apply. You know, leverage and all. I know you want your family back. But something tells me, you want what's in that coffin a lot more." Damon says.

Klaus turns to me after his and Damon's little talk. He turns back at Damon with a smirk on his face and says, "Natalia is coming with me." "Excuse me?!" I say and he just smirks. I turn to Damon and say, "I'm not going anywhere with this asshole Dame!" Damon looks at me and says, "I won't let you." "Ah, see, I'm calling the shots on this one, mate. That means Natalia comes with me." Klaus says. He turns to me and asks, "Unless you want me to rip out his heart?" I sigh then glare at him. "Fine." I say and cross my arms. "Perfect."

After the coffins are inside I walk in with Klaus. "Why am I with you?" I ask him. "Because I want you here, love." he tells me. Daniel, a hybrid, walks up to Klaus and I. "You've got your family back. Finally. You're gonna open them?" he asks. "Not quite yet. I still have some unfinished business to take care of." Klaus says. "What business?" he asks. Suddenly, Daniel is squirming and falls to the floor, dead. Elijah is standing behind him with his heart in his hand. Klaus looks shocked. "So, Niklaus..." Elijah starts. "Elijah!" Klaus says shocked. "What did I miss?" Elijah asks.

"Natalia, what are you doing here?" Elijah asks me. "Shouldn't I be asking you the same thing, L'ijah?" I ask him. He smiles and says, "I take that as you don't know the reason." "I don't. It's just Nik being Nik." I say. "Understandable." "Damon did this. I know it." "Not happy to see me, Talia?" he asks. "Of course I'm not. I hate you." I say with a smirk. He smirks back and says, "I hate you, too." "Asshole." I say. "Obnoxious little girl." he says. "Jerk." "We sound like children." he says and I just laugh.

"Natalia?" Klaus asks as he approaches me. "Hmm?" I ask. "Your room. Would you like me to take you to it?" he asks me. "Sure." I say. He takes my hand and walks me upstairs. We stop at a bedroom. "Thank you, Nik, but seriously. Why am I here?" I ask him as I stand in the doorway. "Damon and Stefan have something I want, so I have something they want. It's part of my plan, sweetheart. It's just a bonus that I decided to take you, love." he says and I roll my eyes. "Goodnight, Klaus." I say and shut the door in his face. I walk away from the door, but he opens in and speeds in. He stops in front of me and says, "That wasn't nice." I roll my eyes at him again and says, "Sorry. Sometimes nice isn't part of my vocabulary." He smirks and says, "There are clothes in the closet. Everything you need is in this room. The shower is over there if needed. Now, goodnight Natalia." He walks out if the room and leaves me alone. I take a shower and change. I pull out my phone and send Damon a text.

Tallie👑❤
I'm okay. Thanks for letting my "protector" out. I'll tell you if anything happens. Love you, Dame.

Dame-Dame😎💋
Good. You're welcome, by the way. Tell me everything. Love you too, Tallie.

I shut my phone off and lay it on the bedside table. I lay down and close my eyes. I slowly fall asleep.

FINISHED CHAPTER. OKAY. LETS GO.
SIEMPRE, BECCA💋
