Night Time Creatures [Klaus Mikaelson]

66 • I Love You

Aliona's P.O.V

"Let go." I groaned as Klaus continued to drag me down the corridor until finally we made it to an empty classroom.

"You know you don't have to hold my arm so tightly, I'm not going to run." I sighed as Klaus finally let go and leant back on the nearest desk.

"You watched Stefan kill two people." Klaus started and I knew where this was going.

"No, I watched you make Stefan kill two people. There's a difference." I argued back, anger evident in my face.

"I'll make you be quiet in a moment if you won't let me talk." He fired back and I knew he meant it, I could easily be compelled. He could make me do anything. "I don't think you understand how much power you lack against me Aliona, or maybe you do realise; you just continue to defy me anyway."

I was silent, simply looking at the ground and sighed.

"Nothing to say love?" He questioned and I simply shrugged. "Well a promise is a promise." He sighed and walked towards me.

I felt a hand under my chin, moving my head up so that I was now looking directly at him. His eyes seemed so inviting all of a sudden, as though I was being drawn in by them, I couldn't look away.

"Remember 1938." He spoke in a small whisper and I realised what he was doing; he was compelling me.

I shut my eyes for a moment as new memories seemed to be added to my mind, trying to slot into place as I frowned.

"Klaus?" I frowned, looking suddenly nervous as I realised that the Original was in my room.

"It's okay love, I'm not here to hurt you." His voice was surprisingly calm, nothing like it had been the day previously. It was currently the day after Klaus had found Elijah and I, the day after he'd made his promise.

"Then why are you here?" I asked with a frown, watching as he stepped closer to me.

"Because I can't stay away, I can't not think about you." He admitted, my eyes widened at his revelation.

"Klaus." I whispered as he continued to near where I was sat on my bed.

"Love I want to try something." He began, wary of my reaction. "I-I want to compel you because I need the truth."

"The truth about what?" I questioned, not liking the idea of being under his control. He sat on the bed next to me and placed a hand on my cheek.

"The truth about whether you love me as deeply as I love you." His words were so sincere and left me feeling winded, I had no words, all I could do was nod at him; signalling that it would be okay for him to do so. I was intrigued myself, I had no idea what I truly felt for this man. "Tell me your true feelings."

His words seemed to bypass me and speak directly to my subconscious. I couldn't tear my eyes away from his as I fell into a trance like state.

"I...I love you Klaus, even though there are moments and times when I hate what you're doing. I do truly love you." I spoke, however my voice held some slight surprise as I couldn't believe what I was saying.

"And what about Elijah?" He asked next, causing me to squirm in his hold. "Don't fight it love."

"I-I...I have feelings for Elijah too." I spoke honestly, watching as envy seemed to wash across Klaus' face. "But they aren't nearly as strong as the feelings that I have for you." My own eyes widened at my words, a small smirk seemed to be tugging at Klaus' lips as his face moved closer to mine.
"But you've done too many bad things, you've made me do too many bad things that I can't help but feel guilty for." I continued as Klaus stopped moving and frowned.
