Allure of Darkness ↠ Klaus Mikaelson [3]

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

"I'm made up of black coffee, untamed hair, and poorly suppressed anger."

I poured both Nik and I a glass of bourbon as we stood in front of Stefan and Caroline who was informing us that Silas might be in Mystic Falls.

"So some blood went missing from a few hospitals," Nik said nonchantly, not caring about what was being said. "What about Elena? Don't vampires with their humanity off tend to overindulge in human blood, or were you the exception?"

Stefan gave Nik a look. "It’s not Elena."

"Well, let's say for a moment that it was Silas," I spoke up, looking up at Stefan and Caroline over the rim of the glass of bourbon I had in my hand. "I'm struggling to see how this affects us," I gestured to both Nik and I with raised eyebrows. "I'm also struggling to see how everytime something terrible happens that you guys can't deal with, you come running to the people who you despise and keep wanting to kill."

"Look," Stefan grounded out. "Silas wants to die and be reunited with his one true love, but he's supernatural, so if he takes the cure and dies, he gets stuck on the other side."

Nik smirked. "How Shakespearian."

Stefan clenched his jaw. "But if he destroys the other side altogether, he can take the cure, die, and pass on, but in destroying it, every dead supernatural being will return to our side."

Caroline stepped forward. "That means every werewolf, every witch, every vampire " She glared at Nik. "I wonder how many of those you personally killed. Care yet?" She crossed her arms.

Nik glanced to me before setting down his glass of bourbon. "My interest is piqued. How do we stop him?"

Stefan seemed to relax.  Bonnie said Silas needs to complete three massacres to do this spell. Before Professor Shane died, he convinced the pastor to blow up the council. Next, he had you kill your hybrids, and now he only needs one more massacre, so if he's here, that's what he's doing. We need to find him."

We stepped into Shane's office, our eyes darting around the room, trying to find anything out of place.

"What are we even looking for?" I questioned, my eyes roaming Shane's abandoned desk.

Stefan sighed. "Well, if Shane really was working with Silas, chances are he was helping him plan his next move."

Where, on his evil villain to-do list... steal blood, perform 3 massacres, pick up dry cleaning?" Caroline retorted, crossing her arms. 

"Actually not to nit-pick," Nik started, smirking, "but we evil villains usually use minions to pick up our dry cleaning, that sort of thing." I chuckled and kissed Nik on the cheek who grinned down at me.
