Carlisle had called us home from school abruptly . He sound urgent . What's wrong ? Was it the person who came with Ashley ? The one who was nicknamed 'Nicki' ? I reached home and found everyone in the living room . Carlisle was pacing up and down with his hands behind his back and a worried expression on his face . " Carlisle , what's wrong ?" I asked . "Jasper when I was on my way to the hospital , I caught a scent . A scent I wish I never come across again ." He said and I could feel something radiating off of him . Fear ? " Who ?" Alice asked equally worried . " Klaus Mikaelson" Edward said voicing Carlisle's thoughts . " Not like The Klaus Mikaelson ? The one whose related to Ashley ?" I asked in surprise . " Yes and if he is the one I remember . Lot many people are going to die . He has a reputation of leaving dead bodies in his wake ." Carlisle shuddered . " So what should we do ?" Emmett asked . " What do you mean what should we do ?!" I half-yelled and everyone looked at me ridiculously . " Does no one else think of the minute possibility that he came here to check now Ashley and not go all American Psycho ?" " Jasper , are you seriously defending him ?" Rosalie frowned . " He's a killer , both of them are " Edward said trying to reason with me . " And like you aren't . Like all of us aren't . No one gave y'all the right to judge what kind of person Ashley is or how murderous her family is . And Edward you want me to remind you of your days as the infamous ripper back in 1927 ? Huh ?" Everyone seemed pretty shaken by this . This girl really has me changing . But I can't do anything about it . I just can't stand anyone talking bad about her . Carlisle sighed deeply and said ," But we can't take any chances . So we'll have to trail them." " I'll go" Edward volunteered . " I'm up" Emmett spoke up any obviously I could just sit duck here so I volunteered to go too . " But remember we keep our distance . DO NOT LET HIM SPOT YOU TRAILING" Carlisle warned . "Of course"
We followed Klaus' car when he left with Ashley from school to a local bar . From distance I could hear them talk . Ashley said ," C'mon Nicki don't be such a stuck-up." Seeing just how terrified Carlisle is of him , it amusing how Ashley nicknamed him 'Nicki' . Then Ashley initiated shots , I swear I haven't seen any woman having a drinking capacity as good as her . And then despite being absolutely hammered she decided to karaoke . And she really can sing . " Dude you're drooling" Emmett smirked suggestively and Edward laughed ," Trust me Emmett , you DO NOT want to know all the things he's thinking ." " Shut up both of you" I hushed them and they just laughed a little more .

" Little Wolf , I think I had enough , I gotta go take a break" " Shut up Nicki . Come on one more song ." He titled his head rejecting my request and I huffed in defeat. And in flash he disappeared round the corner and I turned to bartender and ordered another martini .

" Where'd he go ?" Emmett asked. " Like I know" I said without tearing my eyes from Ashley . " Ooh sarcasm . Jasper you really have gone dark" Edward joked . " Yes , I thought that I should use the ancient unutilised reservoirs of sass I had been storing for moments like these ." And Emmett gasped dramatically and I rolled my eyes . "Wait look he's coming out !" Edward said . " Can you read his mind ?" I asked . " Yes but it's really messy so I can't catch any one thing . It's much like Ashley's . I'll need to get closer to read it better." He replied .
And we , rather idiotically, decided to go against Carlisle's orders and follow him . We followed him to a dark alley behind the bar but when we reached there he vanished into thin air . "Where'd he go ?" Emmett asked . " I don't know he was right here ." Then with a whoosh of air me and Emmett were pinned to the brick wall by our necks a few feet into the air . " Hello mate . I noticed you've been tailing us . State your business and I might just let you live ." We really should have kept our distance . Klaus's eyes glowed yellow and he bared his wicked long fangs . It's a good think breathing is not necessary for us otherwise we would be so dead . " Nik let 'em go." A voice called behind us . Ashley . Klaus sighed loosening his grip on our necks and turned to the raven-haired female . " You know them ?" He asked . " Unfortunately , yes" She replied massaging the bridge of her nose in annoyance . " So did you know they have been tailing us ?" "Yes Nicki , I knew ." And Klaus Mikaelson raised his eyebrow . Then she turned to me with the arms folded and asked ," Jazz what are you doing here ?" But before I could answer Klaus grinned and spoke up ," Jazz ? As in Jasper ? The boy Bekah won't stop yapping about ? Your boyfriend ?" Ashley's eyes widened ," What ? No ! He's not my - . Nick you're smashed I'm smashed we're going home . Come on." " Why ? I just met him ! Let us have a drink at least . Then maybe I can give him the talk" Klaus whined resembling a five year old . " Shut up Nik . I swear if you say one more word , so help me I will stake your ass." Ashley threatened and Klaus smiled but I thought that her threat was genuinely terrifying . "Aww c'mon !" " Shut your cakehole we're going home." " Fine" Both of them left wordlessly leaving me , Emmett and Edward confused and trying to process what just happened . "What just happened ?" " You tell me"

Klaus drove even though he was drunk but we managed reach home surprisingly without crashing . How ? I don't know . " Nicki you take the guest room I'm in the my room okay ?" He nodded and went to his room . Before going to sleep I whipped myself some anti-hangover potion. Freya taught me that . One of the most important things I have learned from witchcraft . It makes life so much easier . I chugged it down and went off to sleep .

" You know just sayin' . I didn't find Klaus that intimidating . I don't understand why Carlisle is so scared of him ." Emmett spoke up . " Honestly I don't know either" I said agreeing with him .
Carlisle , Esme and everyone else was waiting in the steps of the house . " What happened ?" Carlisle asked anxiously . " Nothing much . Both of them went to a bar , got hammered and did Karaoke and went home " Edward replied very conveniently leaving out our encounter with him . " So He didn't spot you ? That doesn't sound like him ." Carlisle frowned . " No he didn't" I lied walking into the house . The house was darker than usual . I shrugged it off till we reached the living room , where we was someone sitting on the couch with his legs crossed . Sitting like a King sits on his throne . And his eyes glowing golden like fireflies in the dark .
" You know lying is a bad habit young lad"
