jusqu'à ce que la mort nous sépare

              she had been staring at him for about thirty seconds , but to her it had felt like a lifetime for she didn't want to tell him the truth of the situation . how she had spent the night in the mikaelson manor , intertwined in the silk sheets of the older mikaelson males bed . to break his heart all over again as she had answered her phone that morning to him asking her where she was , only to hear Elijahs sleepy voice in the background . 'You were with him , weren't you ? ' And she had wanted to lie to him , to preserve the peace between the two of them but she could see the anger and the pain in his eyes and she had wanted someone to compel the memories away from him , to make him forget who she was and that she had hurt him . But where was her place to take that away from him ? 

                    ' Kaleb , it didn't go as far as you think it did ! ' She cried out to him , hands reaching for his arm and tugging slightly to try and get him to look at her, unsure why she had been fighting with him when she had made her decision , when she had decided that she had wanted to be with Elijah . a wave of nausea had hit her and she had attempted to hold it down , pausing for a moment as she had breathed through it . ' Kaleb , I have some things I need to work through, but it doesn't mean I don't care about you . '         ' But it's not me you love , Davina and i'm tired of you acting as if I am . ' He had yanked his arm away from her and backed up , eyes glossed over as he had tried to hold his tears back but had failed as they had rolled down his cheeks . ' I came here with the hopes of you ending it , of possibly even proposing to you . I should have stayed away from you when I met you like I was told . '

        Those words had hit her hard , trying to figure out what he had meant when he had said like I was told . ' Someone told you to stay away from me ? ' she asked , her voice cracking as she had felt the tears in her eyes , lower lip trembling as she had regained some composure . ' Nobody knows me there , I left New Orleans for a reason and it was to escape everything . ' he laughed , shaking his head and scoffing at her , as if he had cause her in another lie , as if he had her in a corner . ' he seemed pretty confident that he had known you , that you would do nothing but cause pain to me , he wasn't wrong . ' 

                                                        ' Who was it ? ' 

                                         ********************************************

          It wasn't hard to find where she had been residing and to find that she had started a new life in San Fransisco working in a small bookstore . It was a quaint little area of the city during the day but had been flooded with red light district activity once the sun went down and the tourists had gone home. But he had never shied from a challenge or from the danger that had lurked in the dark . He had watched their relationship develop , compelled jealously slowly chipping at the walls of his composure until he couldn't contain himself . Suit neatly pressed , hair perfectly sculpted as controlled features had caught the attention of the Westphall male . ' you're a little dressed up for this time of day . '  he had spoke , a laugh adorning his comment as the male had forced a laugh as well , allowing it to be as genuine as possible . ' i'm not one for these type of outfits , but i've been told to wear it . ' a devilish grin had appeared and he had sat down next to him . 

            His arm draped over the back of the bench as he had watched the brunette organize the bookshelf that had been settled outside of the bookstore , humming with amusement . ' she's going to break your heart . ' the words came out more as a casual comment than an absolution , the male laughing . ' if i were you , i'd stay far away from her , looks as if she has a dark past with a terrifying male that you wouldn't want to get involved with . ' and those words had scared Kaleb , the opposite male having caught his gaze . ' Davina is dangerous , but you're going to listen to me . ' he held his head tightly to keep him still as eyes dilated , focused on his . ' you're going to pursue her , make her fall in love with you and you're going to do everything I tell you to , understood ? ' the male shook his head , the other in the suit rubbing his hand on his pants , disgusted by the grease from Kalebs hair . ' she cannot know what happened here . ' 

        ' Who are you ? ' He asked , rubbing the back of his head as to soothe the wound . ' You'll find out soon . '

                                              ********************************************

               ' Klaus ! ' Davina had called out as she entered the abattoir , eyes scanning the courtyard for any sign of movement , hand sweeping over the area in front of her as furniture had gone flying , destroying things in her wake . ' I know it's your fault ! ' she screamed out , once again urging him out of the shadows but not having succeeded in doing so . ' if you were so desperate to avenge your brothers heart you could have killed me , you didn't have to bring Kaleb into it ! ' she was shaking not from the anger , from the betrayal that she had felt , thinking that with her disappearance that things would be better . ' little witch , you think too highly of yourself . ' he chuckled , walking halfway down the stairs before jumping over the railing and landing on his feet on the cement . ' you were just a tool for the bigger plan . ' eyebrows furrowed as she tried to make sense of what he had been talking about , biting on her lower lip as moving her hand to her stomach , the sound of Elijahs voice radiating from behind her . 

       ' Niklaus . ' he assessed the situation for a moment , seeing the angered and confused look of the witches and the amused look of his brothers . ' what have you done now to anger her ? '       ' don't be so defensive , Elijah . your competition is nearly out of your way , you should be thanking me . '  Davinas eyes widened before they narrowed at him , hand moving forward to attack him , throwing him back against the wall . ' What did you do to him ? ' the witches yelled as she had continued to magically attack him , watching as he laughed through it . ' Oh love , it's not I who will do anything to him . '  He laughed again as Davina had looked at Elijah , needing him to intervene to get information out of him , but there was only so much that he could do once Klaus' plans were in motion . 

                                         ********************************************

          ' Is it time ? ' Kaleb asked , hands trembling as he had come face to face with the male who he had encountered months ago . ' You know why we are doing this . Gemini witches have special abilities . ' The vampire reached forward and wiped the blood from the corner of Kalebs mouth . ' This is going to hurt , but i'm going to need you to be quiet . '  Kaleb went to protest but the male had pressed his finger to his mouth . ' Quiet . ' And before there had been any other protest teeth sunk into his neck , a desperate want to scream flooded him and then there was blackness . 

            Body was disposed of quickly , but only after a feast was had , blood covering his shirt as he thumbed some of the blood from his chin and popped it in his mouth as he walked through the abattoirs front door to join in the incident . ' oh good , the place is a mess . i guess i don't have to worry about getting blood anywhere . ' he had looked to the witch with a smirk . ' good seeing you again , not your boyfriend though . i'm afraid i got hungry on the way in . '  Davina had felt weak as he had spoke , hand finding elijah as she felt her knees threaten to give out . 

                      ' Who are you and what have you done to him ? '      ' didn't you hear ? I ate him . '

              Klaus laughed as he had brushed off dust from his shirt . ' Thanks for joining us, Stefan . '
