Klaus & Elena

Chapter 2

After countless cups of coffee, road diversions and bunch of assholes who should not be allowed in a car. She eventually arrived at her destination. But not before again being cut off by some guy in a piece of crap car. She cursed under her breath and hoped her luck would improve a bit while she was here. Because god help her if she has to live the rest of eternity being cut off by some guys who probably only barely got their driver's licenses.

Yeah this might seem like pointless information but she just tried to think about the most pointless stuff to distract herself from the hard truth that has been nagging her for 2 months now.

Let's just not get into that again. Because if she lets herself think about it then she will never see the daylight again and will just hide out in her room in her bed under a thick blanket. So she will never have any kind of normal human interaction again.

While she was having her internal debate, she had been driving further into the city. When she looked around she realized she had arrived in the French Quarter. She decided to park her car in front of some small looking shop.

'They will probably know where Klaus is hiding out, right? I mean, he can't stay hidden, he'll probably have slaughtered a bunch of innocents already and that can't just go unnoticed.', Elena mumbled to herself while getting out of the car.

While she stepped out she stretched her legs, realizing how long she has actually sat in that car. 'Ugh I am so sick of drinking from blood bags, I need something a little fresher and perhaps warmer. Mmm. Okay stop it Elena, focus on what you came to do here.'

She quickly walked over to the small looking shop. While doing this she kept her eyes focused on the door. This caused her not to notice that somebody was watching her.

The second she opened the door and crossed the threshold she noticed that there was something off about the place. Now that she thinks about it there was something off about the entire city, because since the moment she stepped out of her car she hasn't seen or heard a single soul. Weird..

'Hello? Hello...? Somebody there?', Elena called out, maybe there was someone in the back of the shop she thought.

'You must be new around here.', Elena heard a sickly sweet voice say behind her. The moment she turned around she already knew there was something strange about this women.

When she looked around and saw the unknown person that belonged to the voice she felt a chill go up her spine. It wasn't like the teenage girl that was standing in front of her was ugly. No, not at all actually. She was rather pretty, with her messy short brown hair and skinny posture. It was just her attitude, the way she did things, the way she looked at you. But it wasn't really her attitude it was just... Ugh what is it. Oh well whatever it was, it was making her rather uncomfortable.

'Yeah I am new around here. I actually just came in here to ask where I could find someone. But never mind I'll find them myself.', Elena said, knowing already by some strange instinct not to trust this person with any valuable information.

'No, I insist, who are you looking for?', the girl said in such a way that made her come off as just an ordinary girl, but the doppelgänger didn't believe a word she was saying was genuine.

'No really I'll be fine. But yeah I got to go, see you around!', Elena said, and with that she got out of that shop as soon as possible. But when she thinks about it now she realizes what kind of a grimace the girl inside had pulled. She didn't trust her. But that feeling went both ways.

All of a sudden something else dawned on the brown haired girl, the thing that threw her off the most about that girl inside that shop was not her attitude. It was the air that hung around her. Her aura that she seemed to wear like a second skin. The second she turned around and saw the girl she had seen things in the shadows, like they were alive. And to be honest she has seen a lot in her life and she has dealt with a lot, but that what just happened inside was the scariest thing that she ever saw.

Still deep in thought she walked towards her car, before she all of a sudden bumped into somebody.

'God dammit, can you watch where you are going?!', she yelled at the person while picking up her car keys. She was so focused and still so deep in thought about what had happened before in that shop, that the next few words shocked her for a second.

'Always nice to see you too.', a guy said with a snicker.

Oh god she knew that voice all too well. She slowly looked up to see what she had already figured out in her head. Standing before her was the one and only Klaus Mikaelson.

'Yes, hello love! It's me. You know if you would have told me you were coming I would have thrown you a party.', he said with his trademark smirk.

She now realized it was going to take her some time to be able to tolerate him and his cockiness. But oh well it was better to have company than to be by herself.
