Chapter 13 - "Good riddance!"

Mariposa sat up with a groan as she rubbed the ache where her heart was, and as she did all the memories of what happened before she died rushed back at her all at once. Mariposa looked over and saw Klaus just looking blankly over at her while Chris stood behind her leaning on the sofa she was on. "Maria!" Klaus said softly as they made eye contact.

Before Mariposa could say anything, she burst into tears and held her head in her hands. Klaus was sat beside her within a few seconds and side hugged her, letting her cry into his shoulder. One thing Klaus had never expected out of his mysterious and unpredictable life, was that the devil would be crying into his shoulder. Never in a million years did he think he'd have the devil crying in his arms. "There, there!" Klaus said softly in a way to soothe her as he gently rubbed her back. "There, there!"

After a few minutes of her doing nothing but crying, she pulled out of his grip and looked at his soaked shoulder. "I'm sorry!" She whispered softly. "Your shirt is all wet now!"

"I don't mind!" Klaus told her.

"I'm sorry!" She repeated to him. "Now that's two of your brothers I've failed to save from death!" She muttered softly. "He may have been my everything, but, he was your brother before he was anything to me! I'm not the only one feeling his loss!"

"But you love him!" Klaus pointed out.

"I do!" She admitted as she bit her lip in order for her to not cry again, while her throat and eyes stung slightly. "Anyway, is there any particular reason why we're just in the middle of the Gilbert residence, without any of the Gilbert's-" she asked but her eyes landed on Kol's burnt body, which made his death so much real and tears burned at her eyes as she just stared at his burnt body.

"Bonnie, the stupid bitch trapped us in this house!" Chris spoke up for the first time since she woke up.

"And, where are they?" Mariposa questioned and Klaus avoided her gaze and Chris stayed quiet. Mariposa had an idea and her heart began to race rapidly. "What are they doing?" She repeated firmly.

"They're....they're, urm, going to Nova Scotia in a few hours. To get the cure." Chris answered her and Mariposa sighed as she ran her hands through her hair and her heart began to race, and she shook her head as she breathed unevenly.

However, her phone began to ring, so she pulled it out of her pocket and answered. "Marie, I just want to let you know that I don't blame you for the whole compelling situation at that bar. You obviously love him, and I don't hate you for going along with what he was doing. I'm also sorry they had to dagger him." Damon's voice said and it brought tears to her eyes, and Chris and Klaus looked over worriedly.

"Daggered!" She scoffed with a small chuckle as silent tears fell from her cheeks. "Is that what they told you?" She paused. "Well, Damon, I'm happy the compulsion wore off and you're no longer trying to kill your stupid and ditzy girlfriends hunter of a brother. Really happy indeed, but maybe you should check out if that's really the truth!"

"What do you mean?" Damon asked her. "The compulsion is gone, which means he's daggered. There's also no need to be nasty to Elena for him being daggered!" Mariposa let out a small sob. "Why are you crying, Marie?"

"Maybe because I was having a nice day with him, and she pulled him to her house with a plan in mind. The reason the compulsion is gone isn't because he's daggered, they killed Kol, in front of me and through me. Then to make matters worse, they've trapped me in a room with some stupid spell in front of his burnt body, and you're all going to Nova Scotia, and getting the cure. By doing that you'll awake Silas, who will stop at nothing to kill me, with the only weapon on earth that can!" She snapped at the vampire. "So, I believe my fury is warranted. But it's alright, not one of you going on that island cares about me or my life, why do you think Kol was so adamant on not having the cure found? Silas isn't like Klaus, who will make deals with me, he will kill me without hesitation." She explained before she ended the call on the vampire and threw her phone onto the sofa.
