"Greta, you get all your witchy movements in place, Alena, come with me." Klaus says mindlessly. My eyes grow wide, and I use all of my strength to pin him up against the nearest tree with great force. "Where the hell did you learn my first name?" I ask with a low growl, my body raging with fury.
"Alena, it's not hard when I'm one of the most powerful beings on earth." He shrugs, avoiding my question. "Klaus I'm being serious, no one had called me that name in almost 450 years, where the hell did you hear it?" I ask again, pushing him harder until I head the bark almost breaking. "My apologies love, and years ago, I heard your name from a witch, Alena Renee Augusta Antonette, such a lovely name for an even more lovely woman." He muses.
I sigh and release him from my hold, running my hands through as voices run through my head, causing me to nearly be forced to turn my humanity on. I hated my humanity, it made me feel weak, vulnerable.
There was a time I remembered I'd had my heart broken into a million pieces by someone, but it was long since a memory, and I could no longer bring myself to remember a name or a face, but I remembered the way they made me feel. They made me feel wanted, safe, and loved. "Lena." Klaus says, snapping me out of my memory. I look up at him with a cold glare, fighting my humanity out. "Just never call me that again." I snap, turning away from him. I don't know why it made me angry, or why I snapped like that, especially on an Original, but it angered me. The person who said that to me made me angry, and fighting my humanity out made me angry. My switch was practically fried by now, and I was running on neutral. I know that letting my humanity back in would kill me, so I pushed it aside
"What are we even supposed to be doing?" I ask, an angry glare In my eyes. "We should be fetching the vampire and the doppelgänger, but I compelled others to get the vampire, Well, soon to be anyway, and kill her. Now, we're going to find you something to drink before you go and kill the humans." He rolls his eyes and I shrug. "You're the one that pissed me off." I mumble.
He ignores my comment, looking around, and instead of dragging me off through the woods, he moves closer to me and rolls up his sleeve on his arm. "Go ahead." He sighs. I look at him with a confused glare in my eyes. "Klaus, I thought we were going to find a human, you're a vampire, I'm still going to be craving." I sigh, remembering I hadn't fed yet today. "It'll hold you over, at least until the curse is broken." He clarifies, looking just as annoyed.
I shrug and grab his arm, looking back up at him. "Are you sure? Because I really would like to not be killed for drinking your blood. Is this a trick question?" I ask warily and he sighs. "As I said before, if I wanted you dead, you would be. Now, drink before you decapitate someone." He sighs in utter annoyance. I shrug and bring his arm to my mouth, sinking my teeth into his arm. If there was one thing about vampires, it's that blood sharing was kind of personal. We don't just share our blood with anyone, we either share it for our own gain, or someone else's. There really was no in between. I felt my eyes darken as I held his arm tighter, increasing the blood flow into my mouth. It was almost euphoric, in a way. I'd never blood shared with a vampire, let alone an Original. "Easy, Love, mind you I still need my strength." He chuckles. I roll my eyes and mentally tell him to screw off as I continue to drain his blood.
I take one last drink, before I pull away and take in air. "You'll heal, besides, you're about to drain a human, I think you'll manage." I point out, wiping my mouth on my shirt under his jacket. "So, when is the human supposed to get here anyway?" I ask. "Soon, hopefully they know there's no way out of this." Klaus explains. "Okay, also, sorry about snapping on you earlier, that was a dick move." I say and he shoots me a smile. "I'd have done the same thing if you'd have called me by my real name." He remarks, rolling bid log sleeve back down, the bite mark long since healed. "What do you mean? You have another name other than Klaus? I have to know!" I exclaim. "Oh no, love, you have to earn the real name." He smirks. "But you know mine! Again, that's cheating, you need to tell me now." I cross my arms and he rolls his eyes playfully. "I don't think so, the last thing I need is you to run around screaming my name. You'll find out soon enough." He shoots me a smile before turning to walk away. I go after him, walking faster to catch up to him.
