Just One Yesterday // I

Chapter Eleven

A few weeks have went by, Nik now has Rebekah back. He hasn't explained to me how he has found her, but I'm glad that he did. I walk into the nearly finished estate and see Nik closing a coffin in the middle of the foyer.

"You still haven't woken her up?" I ask, standing by the doorway.

Nik looks over at me before letting out a sigh. "Not yet. I want everything to be perfect before I wake her or any one." Nik explaining walking over to me.

"Show her to her room, would you." Nik tells one of his hybrids, gesturing to Rebekah's coffin. They do so, pushing the coffin out of the room.

Nik puts his arm around my waist before looking into the next room, "I'm surprised you're still in town. I gave you your freedom. You could have gone anywhere." Nik says, I see Stefan leaning against a door frame.

"I live here Klaus." Stefan says non-nonchalantly.

Nik walks us into the room with Stefan, "Well, if we're playing this game, then uh... I was here first." Nik replies in an obvious tone.

"You know, I don't like your hybrid friends. Thy're everywhere, kind of like fleas. I want them gone." Stefan demands walking into the room.

"Yeah, well, uh, I kind of like having them around." Nik replies as if Stefan didn't just demand a request. Stefan makes a hum before glancing at me, them back to Nik, making me feel a tad bit uneasy. "You know I'm hurt. I hoped that, uh I'd free you and we'd pick up where we left off, but here you are guzzling vervain like the rest of them, I'm sure. So much for friendship." Nik tells Stefan, taking a sip of his drink.

"Friends don't strip friends of their free will." Stefan retaliate as if it was an obvious thing, which he's right.

"Okay, granted, yeah. That was a little extreme, but I get a little moody. Just ask my siblings. Speaking of whom... isn't it time you handed over?" Nik informs Stefan.

"Klaus...get your hybrids out of Mystic Falls or I will remove them myself." Stefan steps up to Nik and threatens.

"Hmm. You see if you continue to threaten me, I'm going to be forced to retaliate. Kill people. And it'll be messy again." Nik threatens back.

"Do whatever you want. I don't really care. Or you know what? Maybe I do. Yeah, yeah maybe I care so much that I drop Elijah into the arctic." Stefan threatens.

"Don't you dare." I say to Stefan, making him look at me.

"Maybe I'm willing to lose one brother if it meant killing yours." Nik says, not fazed by Stefan's threat.

"Nik.." I say in disbelief at what he saying about Elijah. 

Stefan slowly looks back at Nik, "Try me. Lets find out." Stefan says, giving a smile, then looks back to me, "You should ask Klaus about your brother." he tells me, causing me to become confused and look at Nik, seeing him glaring at Stefan.

"Is everything okay?" Mindy, a hybrid, asks as she enters the room.

"Everything is fine, Mindy. Stefan was just leaving after failing to make his point." Nik says in a calm anger.

Stefan lets out a sigh before rushing at Mindy and hitting her head clear off her shoulders, causing me to let out a small scream and turn into Nik's chest. He wraps his arms around me, trying to comfort me, but I refuse to look over towards Stefan.

"Well... One down. You may want to uh, send the rest of them away before it gets messy... again." I hear Stefan way before his foot steps leave and fade from the room. 

Nik lets out an angry sigh, then guides me out of the room. "It's okay love. He's gone." Nik says, rubbing my back in comfort.

I slowly let go of Nik, and look at his, seeing the frustration in his eyes. "Nik, what happened with Jeremy?" I ask hesitantly, hoping that it doesn't set him off.

"I was sending Elena a message to have them get back the coffins. Technically he's fine." Nik explains to me.

"Nik. Lets establish one thing, Jeremy is off limits. He's just a kid, not a message for your feud with my sister and the Salvatore's."I tell him, as serious of a tone as I could muster.

Nik stares at me for a long second. "Okay, I understand...  Now go get ready, we have a charity event to go to in a bit." Nik tells me. I roll my eyes, and let out an annoyed sigh.

~~~~~

At the charity event gala, everyone was so intrigued with a Nik. He never let me leave his side as all the business people and attempted flirty women talk to him. Currently we were talking to Carol Lockwood.

"You know, Carol, when I think of them now, I think of an old fuddy duddy, but you really have changed my perspective." Nik says to her trying to get on her good side.

"Thank you." Carol responses, a smile never leaving her face.

"Clara was right, you are delightful." Nik tells her.

"Oh, Clara is a saint, she's lucky to be with a gentleman like you." Carol says to both of us, causing me to let out a little nervous laugh as I shift my hair behind my ear.

"Look at what the cat dragged in. Nice vest." Damon says as he walks over to us cutting into our conversation.

"Well, thank you very much. Good to see you, Damon. Clara, Carol, and I were discussing whether you'd be tonight's other big benefactor." Nik informs Damon.

"What do you say, Damon? Klaus has made a very generous pledge. You know how we're chomping at the bit to begin renovations." Carol explains, trying to convince him.

"Hmm. Carol, and don't take this the wrong way, but do you realize that you've been kissing the ass of an immortal hybrid who ruined your son's life?" Damon tells Carol.

"Oh, come now. Some might say I saved it, what all that full moon business. I never had to through it myself more then twice to be honest, but still I'm very sympathetic." Nik informs the two.

"Klaus has promised to protect Tyler, Damon, and our town." Carol tells Damon.

"From who? His hybrids are the ones this town need protection from." Damon retaliates.

"Well, I'd have no use for them if your brother would kindly return my family." Nik offers to Damon.

"Not gonna happen." Damon denies the offer quickly.

"That's what I thought, which is why I've come to an agreement with the mayor. You and the council stay out of my hair and I'll stay out of yours. Your town gets protected, my hybrids get left alone and everyone will be happy. All you have to do is get Stefan to stop decapitating my friends." Nik informs Damon.

"Please, Damon. Just get your brother under control, or the council will be forced to take action against him." Carol warns Damon.

"You've got be kidding me." Damon says in disbelief.

"Oh, come on mate, give peace a chance." Nik tells Damon.

Damon gives us all a quick glance before walking away from us. "Well tonight was fun, but I think I'm going to leave early." I tell Carol and Nik.

"Oh, alright. Have a goodnight darling." Carol tells me.

"Would you like me to take you home?" Nik asks.

I shake my head, "No, I'll be fine, enjoy the night." I tell him. I head out of the party a little away's from the house, towards my car. Before I reach my car, I'm suddenly met with darkness.
