Always and forever >> Klaus Mikaelson

TWENTY-TWO

Ariana Salvatore was pacing around her good friend Katherine's apartment, far away from mystic falls, anger seething from her. 

"why wouldn't he fucking tell me?! another fucking reason why I shouldn't have even looked at him when I met him at the shitty prank night!" Katherine was flicking through channels on the tv as she listened to the Salvatore. 

"probably because he knew you give this reaction." she said calmly. 

"I wouldn't give any reaction if he just told me!" 

"he did, and look what's happened." 

"I wouldn't be this angry if I wasn't angry at him before!" 

"this is giving Elena the attention she doesn't deserve. she's a pale imitation of me. who cares for her?"

"KLAUS! he cares about her! that my problem. its always about her I really want to kill her!"

"lets do it together then." Ariana fell silent. 

"how would we though, she's got my two brothers wrapped around her finger." Ariana gave a frown of thought, seriously thinking of how she could kill the girl. 

"oh, I remember those days." Katherine smirked. Ariana simply rolled her eyes at the vampire, and slumped down, resting her head in her friends lap. 

"not to take his side or anything, he has been chasing me for many years, but even though me and him are enemies, I can tell he is quite broken. he lost you that night his father came and ruined everything, you taught him how to love, and losing that finally broke him. so when he saw you again after his promise, I imagine he got scared. you know what his life was like before you, it was very dark. but you brought him light. and I guess he didn't want that light to waste away. he was protecting you, he was making up for how he couldn't protect you back then rather than leaving you." Katherine ran her hands through the Salvatore's hair and looked down at her. her features softened at the Petrova's words, quickly feeling sorry for the hybrid. 

"have I made the biggest mistake ever?" Ariana asked quietly. 

"this is the worst decision you've made. its been a couple days, he must know you've left mystic falls. he's alone. no family to guide him or protect him anymore. go to him, Ariana. if you leave him alone any longer I'm going to have to start running again. and ive got myself some new heels I down want to wear out until they are out of season." Katherine smirked, and Ariana slowly lifted herself up. 

"I need to make a trip to the boys." Ariana said, walking out the front door. 

"say hi to Stefan for me," Katherine shouted. Ariana rolled her eyes, made her way to a certain shop, and compelled herself a quick expensive car, and made her way back to mystic falls. she gripped her hands on the wheel as she thought of how alone Klaus is right now.

not long after, she found herself silently opening the door to the Salvatore boarding house when she heard voices coming from the inside. the closed the door behind her quietly, and watched the small scene unfold. there, stood Rebekah and Stefan, and she could hear Rebekah's muffled tears.  

"I buried him, even after everything I laid him to rest in the place where we would be married. what kind of hopeless fool does that?" Rebekah asked the Salvatore. Ariana felt her heart break. Rebekah suddenly let out a breath of realisation, and Ariana's ears perked.  

"but thats what you wanted to know, isn't it? because I buried him with his sword." Rebekah spoke, annoyed and betrayed. all of Ariana's sorrow for Klaus left the moment she saw his all too familiar figure step out of the shadows. She kept her hiding spot by the door, still not noticed by anyone in the room. 

"I'm sorry little sister, but you're right. you are a helpless fool." Klaus spoke. his voice seemed so down, it sounded broken, as if he hadn't spoken since the argument with Ariana, his hair was messy, and had on his leather jacket that Ariana wore all the time. he simply wore it, being engulfed in her scent. he pulled out the all too familiar dagger, and a small bottle of ash. the blonde girl began to run, only to be blocked by Stefan Salvatore, and Ariana felt she couldn't trust anyone anymore. the Mikaelson turned to her brother. 

"I'm sorry Rebekah." Stefan whispered. 

"go right ahead. laugh at the girl who loved too easily. but I would rather have lived my life than yours, Nik. no one will ever, sit around the table telling stories about a man who couldn't love. do it. look me in the eye and do it you coward! do it!" a single bead of water fell down from his eye, trailing down his face as he shoved the dagger into his sister.  Klaus looked up to Stefan, then behind him, and his single tear turned into a thousand. he carefully slumped his sister to the ground, staring at the youngest Salvatore, who watched with even more hatred.  he couldn't even speak, he just watched her as he attempted moving his jaw to speak any type of words. Stefan turned, and saw his little sister, then back at Klaus, and the heartbreak in his eyes. 

Niklaus Mikaelson somehow made a single move to take one step forward her direction, but was met with a gust of wind, and only her scent lingered the empty space her body used to stand. his legs felt weak, and he crouched down to the ground helplessly. the silence was dreadful, just the fire crackling and Klaus' sharp breathes, trying to keep him from sobbing any longer. Stefan walked over to the front door, to try and get Ariana to at least talk to Klaus. after everything he had done to him, he saw his reaction in that moment, and believed that his love for his sister was much greater than any romance novel that claims to be the most powerful. Stefan looked outside in hope, but was left with disappointment. once he walked back into the main room, he was only accompanied by Rebekah's lifeless body.
