Little Red Riding Hood

Back to Mystic Falls

~Amelia's POV~

I woke in a moving vehicle and arms tightly around my waist. Panic set in until I looked over and saw coffins all around and I remembered who I was with.

"Niklaus?" I called quietly

"Yes, my little red?" He answered from behind me

"Where are we going now with your family?"

"Mystic Falls, beautiful. I have a feeling someone who should be dead isn't."

I gave a confused look who could he be taking about Elena is dead. I saw her body. If she's not dead then what is life how did she beat dead?

"Who do you think is still alive?"

"Don't act like you don't know, little red. I know you know who it is. And throughout this whole time you don't ask where Stefan is?" He snapped before pushing me forward and getting up. He was now staring at me and I looked to the side and pointed at Stefan with his neck snapped.

"Stefan's over there and I don't know who you are taking about. If it's Elena then there goes the ritual." I muttered the next part under my breathe, "and Damon paying attention to me." Yes I know Elena's still alive but honestly I hoped I was seeing things do to me puking up blood.

He was getting mad and raised his hand getting me to flinch slightly. I didn't see his eyes soften as I waited for his hand to make contact with my skin. A hand gently found its way to my shoulder and I opened my eyes to see Niklaus looking at me with soft eyes and a gentle smile.

"I'm sorry my little red. I didn't mean to yell. I'm just tired of people lying to me."

I pressed my forehead to his and whispered, "Okay, I'll be honest, if you promise I can trust you."

"You can trust me. You always could have trusted me, love."

"Okay," I backed away from him and looked him in the eyes before calmly stating, "I might have seen Elena back when you tried to turn that Tennessee pack, but I couldn't be certain because I was vomiting blood."

He took a breathe before calmly saying,"Emerald is sleeping with Rebekah if that's okay."

"Yeah that's okay." I could tell something else was on his mind by the look in his eye, " Nik what is it?" I didn't even realize I called him Nik.

"My little red, who gave you that scar that you try to hide?"

I let out a sigh before saying, "You have to promise not to go on a rampage because it won't help anything. He's dead. She's dead. They're both dead. Okay?"

"Okay. I promise."

"My uncle gave it to me, On the full moon some odd months ago."

"Why?"

"My cousin was jealous of something I did or whatever."

Klaus looked down before asking, "You don't have to answer but who's your mate?"

I let out a sigh before lifting his head and giving a calm and collected, "I'm going to need to trust you much more to tell you that."

"Okay one more question, why did Stefan call you niece?"

"Because Damon is my great great grandfather." 

He nodded before whispering, "You should probably get some rest it's a long drive."

I smiled up at him as he stood up and walked off. I laid down on the floor littered in blankets and pillows and started falling asleep, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't sleep. I watched Klaus pace that truck. I couldn't handle his pacing so I got up and without a word grabbed his hand and leading him back to where we were before.
