"This is meant to protect him?" I asked sceptically, peering down at the small glass bead that I held between my thumb and forefinger. Looking away from the bead, my eyes slid over to the original that sat across from me, a book open in his lap as he nursed a glass in one hand, as per usual.
Klaus looked up at me and nodded. "My witch has assured me that it should save him." Straightening up in his seat, his eyes hardened and his grip on his glass tightened before he set it down slowly on to the coffee table before him. "If it doesn't she knows the consequences."
"How exactly is this supposed to save him?"
Pulling a scrap of folded paper out of his pocket, he handed it over to me. Opening it slowly, I peered down at the words that outlined and all too familiar protective charm that I had made sure to cast on Nana after Dad's funeral. "That is where you come in, love. You need to recite that charm when the bead is in his possession and the bead should intensify the charm by-"
"By crushing it and imprinting the magic into his skin," I muttered, knowing exactly what he was going to say. Tucking the paper into my pocket, I raised an eyebrow when our eyes clashed. "How is it going to exactly be in his possession?"
Klaus rose from his seat and walked round the back of my chair. I rolled my eyes at his melodramatic tendencies as he set a hand onto my shoulder. "You," he said, squeezing it once, "Are going to get it into his pocket."
"How?" I demanded, looking at him over my shoulder. It wasn't as if Kol was a human who could easily be tricked, he was a vampire with heightened senses. Not only was he a vampire, he was an original. As if trying to trick an ordinary vampire wasn't hard enough.
Klaus shrugged under my gaze before smirking at me. "If push comes to shove you could always kiss him."
I scoffed and turned away from him, muttering under my breath. "You're no help at all."
He only laughed in response and I couldn't help but let out a small laugh as well. "So tell me, what has Caroline been up to recently?"
I rolled my eyes at him. "Why exactly should she even consider going out with you, Klaus?"
"The allure of darkness is irresistible," He muttered, smirking knowingly at me. "You of all people should know that."
