Night Time Creatures [Klaus Mikaelson]

65 • She's Alive

Aliona's P.O.V

I woke up in darkness once again, only this time I was tied to a chair, the ropes seemed to stab at my bare skin every time I moved.

"You're only making it more painful for yourself love." Klaus spoke as I looked around with a frown, Stefan was sprawled on the floor again but this time Rebekah was stood by the door. It was night now, I had little memory of what had happened after Klaus revealed where we were. "The ropes are laced with vervain, so the more you move the more pain you'll cause for yourself." He spoke as I grunted, trying to snap the ropes, but it was no use.

"What's going on?" I questioned as Rebekah scoffed.

"You don't have to play dumb anymore, he's worked it out. He knows what you've been hiding in Mystic Falls." She spoke with a sly smirk.

"I don't know what you mean, I haven't been hiding anything." My voice was laboured as the ropes seemed to knock all of the air out of me from the pain.

"You just failed to mention that the doppelgänger lives." Klaus spoke up in a rage, Stefan began to stir from the floor as Klaus smirked. "But don't worry, we can fix that little detail quickly."

"No." Stefan groaned from the floor, but it was too late, Klaus was already speeding off and out into the night. I glanced down at my brother in panic, knowing that we'd failed Elena.

Rebekah was still stood to the side, chuckling quietly to herself as she glanced at the pair of us. I couldn't move without being faced with scorching pain, and Stefan had had his neck broken so many times that he was stunned. Finally she moved forwards, however only to stab a piece of wood straight into his gut.

Stefan cried out in pain as I winced at the sight, luckily it was far off from his heart; but he was weak, she knew that it would be a struggle for him to get up. Our eyes met as I glared at her, but in returned I received a fake smile. Rebekah blew a kiss in our direction before speeding off after her brother.

"Stefan." I spoke, my voice sounding hoarse.

"Ali I'm sorry, I didn't think this would happen." He groaned back, his words laboured.

"Can you move?" I questioned, straining my eyes in the dark to make out his form. I didn't receive a reply straight away, instead only the grunting and wincing sounds that made me cringe.

I knew what he was doing. He was pulling the wood out of his, causing me to squirm at the thought of it.

"Stefan?" I asked again, this time much louder.

"I'm okay." He spoke, breathing heavily and I could tell that he was trying to recover from the ordeal.

"Thank god." I breathed out. "What are we going to do about Elena?" I asked, but Stefan was silent. "You want to help her right?"

"Of course I do, but we have to be careful about this." He spoke as I could make out his form rising up to a standing position, his hands were feeling around in the dark for the chair that I was strapped to.

"Careful the ropes are laced with-" However my warning was cut off by the sound of Stefan crying out, he'd obviously made contact with the vervain, but he continued to untie me. "Thank you." I sighed, falling off the chair as soon as the last rope fell loose.

I began to feel around, knowing that Klaus hadn't taken my phone with him. Finally my hand touched the cold device and turned the screen on, surely enough there were 10 missed calls from Elijah and many voicemails. One text message caught my eye that read:

Call me immediately! It's urgent!

I thought about it for a moment, but Stefan was already out of the door and waiting for me. Instead, I shoved my phone into my pocket and vowed to call back Elijah later.
