Klaus was a lot younger than I thought he would be, but then again, he was a vampire. He had the devils glint in his eyes, just enough to send a shiver up your spine, and not in the good way. I had thought about what I was going to say once I was in front of him but suddenly I couldn't think of anything.
"I um..." is all I could manage to come out, I was distracted trying to put my words together about being the first tribrid, what that meant and so much more.
"Well I assume you've come to learn more about this tribrid legend..?" He said with that damn accent of his.
"I have" I said and suddenly remembered Damon was next door and so was Katherine, they would have heard Klaus and me talking and immediately came into the room.
"Where are Damon and Katherine?" I asked suddenly growing worried.
"Oh don't worry love, they're both tucked in safely drowned with vervain at my place" he said with a smirk. When had he taken them? I needed to make sure Katherine and Damon were safe.
"You seem rather vexed love... is there anything I can do to help?" Klaus asked sarcastically. I could see the devil in himself. He enjoyed torturing people, but he also has a depth to him, he's suffered a lot, he just doesn't show it.
"Take me to them now" I said sternly as suddenly the fear I had seemed to be replaced with anger at the thought that they could hurt Damon.
"As you wish love" Klaus said and he walked out of the room as I followed. We stepped into his car and he drove to his home.
"So tell me about yourself Clara, I'm desperately curious as to who you are" Klaus said.
"That was a sarcastic remark" I replied as I looked out the window, I could feel Klaus's gaze over me.
"You like my city?" He asked and I turned to face him. He was devilishly handsome, he was the type of man to bring a distant thrill into your life. I could also tell that beneath that cover, he was a caring man, with deep thoughts and emotions. He loved this city so much, he was proud of it too.
"I do, it's very.... alluring" I said and he smirked.
"You never answered my question love, or rather questions" he asked and this time I could tell he was genuinely intrigued but I wasn't sure why.
"Well what do you want to know?" I asked as suspicion grew in my mind.
"Well how old are you? When did you realize you were a witch? Simple stuff as so" he replied and the questions made me think about how a year ago my life was so simple, I was in college with my friends, I had a loving boyfriend, I had Jenna and Jeremy with me. Now I literally had to ask Damon to compel my brother to forget about his life for his own safety. My last family member died and I was a witch destined to end the supernatural world. Life couldn't be any weirder and yet there was a part of me that liked the adrenaline that comes with all of this.
"I'm 21 turning 22 in a week and I realized I was a witch when they told me and I got really mad one day and I don't know... I-it just happened" I said remembering the first time I used my powers unknowingly.
"Hm I see" Klaus said as he kept his eyes on the road.
"Why do you need me?" I asked and he looked me dead in the eye.
"I don't need you love, it's more of a petty desire I have." he said with a smirk.
"Can you please just tell me? My world changed in a matter of days and everybody seems to know about me except me! The irony in this is killing me" I complained and he finally gave in.
"Look, as the first tribrid, you would hold an incomprehensible amount of power, ultimate control. Most of the supernaturals are happy with how their lives are and they fear the one who is to end our world. If I could get that power, it would guarantee me the role of king to all the supernatural beings." He said and it all started to make sense, he wanted me as a slave to give him the power I was supposed to have so he would have control over the supernatural world. I just didn't comprehend one thing, wasn't he supposed to end the supernatural world with that power?
"Wait but what else would you do with all that power other than end the supernatural world? I mean isn't that what the prophecy said? That we would have to end the supernatural world?" I asked and Klaus let out a chuckle.
"Darling, just because somebody tells you to do something doesn't mean you actually have to do it" he said with a devious smile.
"Ok, But why are you doing this? I mean it can't just be because you want to take control of the supernatural world... there's another motive to this Klaus..." I said and he grew serious, he was hiding something. He parked his car outside a large ancient tuscan mansion.
"Let's go" he said and I got off the car.
"Is this where you live?" I asked and he nodded. He opened the gate and we stepped inside. There was a large patio space in the middle of the house, then there were stairs leading to the upstairs with a beautiful fountain in the middle wall of the two stairs.
"Follow me love" he said as we went up the stairs and we went into a giant room where Damon and Katherine were tied up in a chair drowsy.
"Damon!" I screamed as I ran to him.
"Clara, S-Stefan's here...." he said weakly as his perfectly blue eyes tried to look into mine.
"You're imagining things, what did you do to them?!" I screamed at Klaus.
"Nothing much love, just vervained them" he said and before anything else could happen, I used my powers to hurt him. Klaus groaned as he fell to the ground in pain.
"Bring me a blood bag to feed them, now" I said as my powers grew stronger and so did Klaus's pain.
"That's enough Clara" a voice said and I was stunned at how it sounded to similar to Stefan's, but it couldn't have been him right? He was gone, he fled from Mystic Falls, he had left me. I turned around and to my surprise, it was indeed Stefan Salvatore standing before me.
"Stefan? W-what are you doing here?" I said as I realized that Damon was right. I stopped my powers and Klaus finally stood up. He whooshed to me and he put a hand around my neck as I was pressed against a wall.
"Don't ever do that again love" he whispered into my ear and Stefan rolled his eyes, was his switch back on? Klaus let go and suddenly a tall blonde walked into the room angrily.
"What the bloody hell is going on Nik? Hayley can't get the baby to sleep, a little quiet would help" she said in an English accent too, I figured she was probably his sister, but then that would mean there were two Original vampires?
"Rebekah, how lovely, I want you to meet the famous Clara Gilbert." Klaus said with a smirk as the blonde walked up to me.
"So you're the famous Clara, you were right Stefan, she is a pretty gem. I'm Rebekah Mikaelson" she said smiling as she extended a hand out.
"Mikaelson? But then you would be-?" I said confused at all the things that were going on around me.
"Yes darling, I'm Niklaus's sister. We're part of the Original Family." she said proudly and suddenly I knew I was getting into deep trouble.
