| chapter ten: sacrifice |

At the night of the sacrifice Nikolai didn't try to involve himself, he stayed with baby Gilbert trough the whole happening and that's all he did. He refused to mess with Klaus's plan, even if the others thought he should've helped. It didn't matter if he helped, Klaus would win anyways. The others couldn't realize that there was no way to stop the Original and did everything in their power to get rid of him.

They had almost succeeded, if not Elijah had betrayed them in the last second. And to Nikolai's dismay, Elena had survived.
He thought more people would've died, but they had only lost Jenna.

It had been two days since the sacrifice and Nikolai had gotten a call from Stefan, telling him to come and meet him as quick as possible at Alaric's apartment. He put on a red shirt and black slacks then headed out. As he drove trough the small town he was almost confused. He didn't know what he had expected but definitely not this calmness. Everything was normal as people walked along the streets just as it was any other day. There where some event by the town's square and he wondered how people had time for this ridiculous nonsense. He figured the hybrid would've have turned the whole town into chaos or at least done something to terrorize the people of Mystic Falls.

He walked up the many stairs that lead to the history teacher's apartment and knocked on the wooden door. He was confused to see Katherine still being here, he thought she would be far away by now.

"Damon was bitten by Tyler Lockwood and we need to find Klaus, tell her to give me his location!"

"Nik, tell him there's no cure to a werewolf bite and that he's being hopeless!" Katherine spoke, sounding bitter and tired as she glared at her former lover.

Nikolai didn't even have chance to speak before the door was thrown open and he was met by a handsome man, a long with the betrayer.

"Klaus, you're back." Katherine breathed. "Look who decided to come for a visit."

"You just keep popping up." The man spoke then turned to Nikolai. "And who's this?" He asked, a small smirk on his lips as he watched the Italian vampire closely.

"Nikolai Marcos." Elijah answered. "He has nothing to do with this."

Nikolai was quite shocked by Klaus, he didn't know he had an accent or was this compelling.

"You didn't tell me he was this hot." Katherine gave him a death glare and he  decided to shut up for now.

"I need your help, for my brother."

"Oh whatever it is it's gonna have to wait a tick, you see I have an obligation to my brother that requires my mediate attention." The hybrid spoke.

"You understand how important family is or you wouldn't be here. My brother gave me his word that he would reunite me with my own."

Nikolai listened to the noble man, he was confused how everyone in this town just seemed to be willing to do everything for their family.

"And so I shall." Klaus spoke and before anyone could truly react he had stabbed Elijah trough the back. The original screamed in pain and the three watched as his skin turned sickly pale and the life left his eyes.

"Is it weird that I found that hot?" Nikolai whispered as he watched Klaus and before he knew it the hybrid was standing before him, dangerously close. The man's hands was placed on Nikolai and he raised an eyebrow. Where the hybrid making a move on him?

"Now darling, it's about to get ugly in here so how about you leave at this instant. I wouldn't want you to accidentally end up hurt, since I tend to like you. Forget why you where here, leave and don't come back."

Nikolai was about to protest but before he could his own body betrayed him and he started to walk away. He'd never been compelled before and was beyond confused on what was happening. Everything that happened was like in a haze and he only snapped back to reality when he reached the town's square and stood amongst the townspeople.

He had a feeling that he was supposed to be somewhere and do something. But he couldn't remember anything, he knows he met the immortal hybrid but where?

A hand landed on his shoulder and he quickly turned, to be met with a disheveled looking Elena with a not so great looking Damon by her side.

"I need you to help me get him home, he's delusional and I- please just help."

Nikolai grabbed onto Damon and helped Elena get him to the Salvatore's mansion.
He stayed downstairs, if the dude died the doppelgänger would start crying and he was not good at comforting people. And lately Elena had cried so much he would just get annoyed and accidentally rip her head off. So he stayed in the living room and sat down, still having the hybrid on his mind.

The door could be heard and Katherine entered, a small bottle in her hand.

"Can you believe he compelled me?" Nikolai huffed.

"I have the cure, give it to Damon." She gave him the small bottle and he watched it curiously. "Klaus's blood is the cure."

"I'll give it to him."

The two watched each other, silently saying goodbye. Katherine left and he hurried upstairs and quickly gave Elena the cure. He noticed how closely she laid to the raven haired vampire and raised an eyebrow, wondering what he had just walked into. It was quite obvious that the girl was torn between the two brothers, just as Katherine had been. He chose not to comment anything and left.

As he walked out of the mansion he could feel that familiar feeling again and smiled sickly to himself and wandered into the night, knowing he would hurt someone.

| this chapter is horrible but I felt the need to update. I'm planning on giving you some more insight in Nikolai's past but it might take some chapters. I don't want to rush it. |
