Chapter ] 4 : Friends?

Song: Count On Me - Bruno Mars

He woke up to the sound of screaming coming from the room right next to his. Not that he was actually asleep, after years of being alive sleep would come easily to him, but it didn't. He continued to not listen to the screams, but when he smelled smoke he got up. He quickly got on a pair of pants & a t-shirt. He recognized who the screaming come from, Elena. He tried to turn the knob but it was stuck. He tried to break the door knob off, but it wouldn't give. Rebekah who was by his side trying to shove him out of the way, but couldn't because he pushed her into a wall. He knew this was a witch's doing with the knob. He gave up with the door knob & broke the door down. Rebekah got up & followed him into Elena's room Rebekah & her brother were shocked not once had Elena showed signs of being a witch. It would take a witch half a life time to learn how to control it like that.
"

Your a witch." He said.

"Klaus?" Elena gasped. She was surprised he was in her room, but she also wasn't. Her door was knocked off its hinges. She was wondering how they knew there was fire. "What are you guys doing in here?" She asked both of them.
"I should be asking you questions. How are you a witch? No one can hide magic like that." He said.
"Esther, your mother she did it, she got in my dreams. She restored my powers. She said it was taken from me before I was born. She said that Jeremy & I we're your familys redemption. Told to tell you that she's sorry for trying to kill you & she loves you all very much. I know you may think I'm lying but I'm not. Something was saying she's not & I'm choosing to believe that."
"My mother is died how is the even possible. She isn't strong enough to do that." Rebekah asked.
"She had help from most of the witches on the Other Side. They gave her a chance to find peace. Which she stayed true to her children."
"My mother will do anything to find peace even if it means lying. You're fool to believe that it's true." Klaus said angrily.
"She wasn't lying I know that. Bonnie once told me that witches can tell when other witches are lying. Your mother is a witch & so I'm I." Elena said defending Esther, a dead person. Klaus opened his mouth to say something, but before he could argue with Elena anymore, Rebekah interrupted him.
"Enough, Niklaus its 12:00 we need to get to sleep. We'll talk about this in the morning. Go get out of here!" Rebekah yelled but was quite because of her brothers & Jeremy were sleeping. Once she saw Klaus leave with the broken doors she spoke again. "I'm sorry about Nik you know how he is.. Believe it or not, but Nik was not like this when we were younger. Niklaus was nicer, loving, he was a lot of things, but he wasn't A monster. I will leave alone before Jeremy takes the rest of the bed." Rebekah said laughing before leaving her bedroom.

Elena was practicing her magic In the parlour, when Elijah come down the stairs.
"What are you doing?" Elijah asked confused.
"It seems mother gave her a parting gift last night in her dreams. So she's a witch who can control her magic instantly & know any spell without looking at a grimore." Rebekah said, sighing coming into the parlour with Jeremy.
"You're a witch?" Jeremy asked.
"Seems like it." Elena sighed. "Its all ready exhausting. It's to much power, I can barely can control it without it feeling like I'm dying.
"That sounds.... painful." Jeremy said. Causing Elena to scoff.
"Tell me about it." She said before leaving the room to give herself a tour.

Elena was walking down a hall & saw sliding French doors. She opened it. Inside of it was a bed, a closest, paints, & paintings. She loved to look at artists paintings. Out of every paintings there is her favorite one was a lonely Williow tree with miles of low cut grass with the sun setting. She went to a circular table that had jars of paint brushes & there was a torn piece of paper. She put it back together, & it had showed Caroline beside a horse with the dress she'd worn to the ball that the Mikaelson's had held back in Mystic Falls. She knew who's room she was in, it was Klaus'. She turned around to walk out of the room but she ran into a chest. She back away from the person to see who she ran into it was Klaus.
"What are you doing in here?" He asked.
"I-I'm sorry. I was just looking around & I had seen the paintings. I like them." She said.
"You know, no one is suppose to be in here. But Rebekah wanted us to get along, so I'm letting you in here when I'm in here. So what do you say friends?" Klaus asked, holding out his hand for her to shake.
"Really?"
"Really."
"Friends then?" She asked.
"Friends." She shoke his hand. When she touched his hand she felt electricity fly through her. She let go instantly regretting letting her hand go. He went to an unfinished painting & started to paint it. While Elena, sat on a chair beside him. They were in there for hours talking about themselves. They talked like they have known each other for years. That was the first time Elena saw that he wasn't a monster everyone believed he was.
