Looking For Tomorrow // II

Chapter Eight

I've stayed with Nik as he's been trapped in my old living room. I hear voices conversing as I wake up on the couch. "My friends will be back with the cure by then. So, I could shove it down your throat and make you mortal." I hear Tyler say.

I stay laying down, curious where this argument would head. "I'm an Original. What makes you think my entire bloodline wouldn't be cured along with me. I.E. You." Nik retaliates.

"You know what I think? I think that's impossible. I think the moment you stop being a vampire, our whole blood connection to you is broken, and your sire-line ceases to exist. So , whatever happens to you, happens to only you, which means I can kill you ass no one else has to die. Although I am still debating just how to do it." Tyler taunts.

A moment of silence fills the room and I can practically feel Nik's anger. "I recommend drowning. There's nothing quite like the feeling of someone fighting for something as basic as  human breath. And let me tell you, your mother was a fighter." Nik says to Tyler, obviously wanting to push his buttons as silence refills the room.

I sit up and see Tyler leave the house. I look over my shoulder and see Nik pacing. "Are you okay." I ask him softly, knowing he's still angry.

He stops and glances at me, then looks at the wall and seems to think, before finally looking at me. "I've been better." he admits to me.

"If it makes you feel any better, I don't think they'll use the cure on you." I tell him.

He just stares at me, I can't seem to read his emotion. "How can you side with me? After everything I do?" he questions me.

I look at him confused, where did that come from? "I don't try to understand why you do what you do, you have your own reasons. I just know that I care about you enough to help you with things like this. I think I care about you a lot more than I probably should." I explain to him, with a sigh at the end.

He walk over to me and sits down next to me, "How can you care for someone with so little humanity?" he asks, his voice now soft.

"I don't care about how much humanity you have. I care about you. Okay, I love you." I tell him, not caring this is the first time saying it.

His eyes widen a fraction, before he leans in and captures my lips with his. I close my eyes and return the kiss. He slowly pulls away and leans his forehead to mine, "I love you too Clara, you are my humanity." he whispers, his eyes still closed.

---------------------

Tyler returns sometime later and tosses me a bag of food from the grill. Tyler stays much to Nik's annoyance. Not to much later, Caroline shows up.  "You're still here? What are you doing?" she questions Tyler.

"Gloating." Tyler sasy simply as he pours himself a drink

Nik walks over to where Caroline and Tyler were, within the barrier limits. "Hello, Caroline." he greets her.

She ignores him and talks to Tyler, "Come home. Don't stoop to his level." she says to Tyler, ignoring Nik.

"He destroyed my life. I plan on being present for every second of his misery until I can kill him myself." Tyler explains to her.

"Fine. You can gloat and multitask. This place is a disaster. Starting with a horrific burnt corpse." Caroline tells Tyler, she grabs a table cloth and covers Kol's body with Tyler's assistance.

I look away, not wanting to feel sad over Kol again. I glance at Nik and see a sadness gleam in his eyes as he watches them cover the body.

"Tyler's mother is dead. So is my brother. We're even. Call Bonnie. Get her to let me out of here." Nik tries to negotiate.

"I will never, ever, help you." Caroline tells him.

"How quickly you are to forget you owe Clara a favor. I bet she wouldn't mind asking for you help to help me. Or how about the night your mother invited me into her home to save the life of her precious daughter." Nik tries to pursued her.

Caroline glances at me then back at Nik, anger in her eyes. "How delusional are you? Favor or no favor, I won't help you, it's her favor not yours. You killed his mother. And lets not forget that we're standing in a house where Elena and Clara's Aunt Jenna used to live. Or did you think that your charm would make us forget how you killed her to? You know what? No. I am not going to engage in this. You are not even worth the calories I burn talking to you. Sorry Clara." she rants and turns to walk away. 

Nik speeds over to one of the floor lamps and suddenly uses it to impale Caroline, dragging her towards him into the barrier. "No!" Tyler yells out. 

Once Caroline is in Nik's grasp, he bites her neck, letting her go and she falls to the floor. Causing me to look in shock.

"Now, that was definitely worth the calories." Nik tells her, wiping her blood from his mouth.
