K I N G • KLAUS MIKAELSON [1]

the murder of one

RIVER moved through the streets, trailing after Klaus' older brother, the both of them moving either side of Finn, trapping the vampire between them.

"Hello Finn" Klaus smirked.

"Hello Niklaus, River" Finn greeted "I have nothing to say to you"

"Well, we're not here to chat" River stated.

"I will ask you one time though, where's our mother?" Klaus wondered.

"Gone to find another way to end our abominable lives" Finn replied "And when she does, I will sacrifice myself all over again"

"Well, how fortunate that we found you, we require your assistance" River smiled.

"I have no wish to help you" Finn scoffed "Only to see you dead"

"Right, well, that's the thing, you see you won't be able to see me dead, because if I die, then you die" Klaus informed "So, wish unfulfilled, I'm afraid"

"Oh, bother someone else with your hollowed charms, Niklaus" Finn rolled his eyes.

"Why? Why not come bother my big brother?" Klaus teased "I need you to accompany us back to Mystic Falls, I have a witch there who can help River undo Esther's spell that linked us together"

"I have no wish to be unlinked" Finn stated.

"Again with the wishes" River stated, stepping in front of the vampire, stopping him from continuing forwards.

Klaus turned to River.

"I did try the kind way, my love, but it doesn't seem to be working, so we'll resort to my way shall we?" Klaus spoke before turning to his brother "Let me rephrase, you will come back with me or I will put you back in that coffin in which you rotted for 900 years"

"What happens to one, happens to all" Finn said "You may not feel the effects of the dagger, but you'd lose your precious Rebekah"

"Wouldn't be the first time" Klaus spoke.

Finn scoffed, moving away. River watched, smirking as Finn sped down an alley, only for Rebekah to block his path.

"Let's not make this any worse than it has to be, darling brother" Rebekah warned.

"You're siding with him?" Finn questioned "Rebekah, he stored us in boxes"

"At least he's not trying to make us extinct" Rebekah retorted.

Finn turned, seeing Klaus stood behind him, River leaning against the wall.

"What are you gonna do?" Finn smirked "Kill me?"

"Oh yeah, that's right, you've got a death wish" River rolled his eyes "Fine, pathetic, but fine, the thing is, I'm not gonna let you take the rest of us down with you"

River raised his hand, his magic throwing Finn against the wall, his body dropping to the ground.

Klaus threw Finn into the foyer of their home, River strolling in beside Klaus and Rebekah.

"Gather your witch" Rebekah sighed "Let's get his blood and get on with it"
