Loyalty - Klaus mikaelson

They were all ambushing klaus after a plan to lure him with the daggers marcel had taken possession of

"What is this?" Klaus questioned once he realised he had been lead into a trap

"Apologies for your behaviour? You don't apologise Nik, you just act. I've had enough. We have had enough" Rebekah said. She had moved onto marcels side wanting nothing but to be free of her brother

"Look at you. Finally in possession of the 1 thing that can take you down. How does it feel?"

"Great" marcel put his fingers between his teeth and whistled which made his inner circle come forward

South moved forward, she was one of the ones with the daylight rings but not just because she was in marcels inner circle. Also because she had one before she moved to New Orleans. Marcel was like a brother to her though and allowed her to stay

"So this is it? The evil bastard klaus has gone too far, must be punished, and by his own sibling nonetheless. How positively biblical" klaus raised his hand to Rebekah and south felt bad. She couldn't imagine being betrayed by a family member but then again klaus had done the same to her
"And you Marcel. Is this your idea of a hit? I taught you better than this paltry excuse for a takedown. You think you can subdue me! With this!"

"No. But I think I can with this" he whistled again and this time more people came though, south could see the look of scarcity on his face that shone through momentarily but it was gone the second it was there

"Well" klaus sighed
"Let's end this charade shall we? Vampires of New Orleans. Do recall that I am an original. A hybrid. I cannot be killed. Eternity is an awfully long time. How long do you think Marcel will stay in power? What if one of you lot were to release me, knowing I would be eternally in your debt? I would pity those of you who dare to cross me. I can assure you.. your ends would be spectacular. To borrow a trick from an old friend.." klaus held up a coin in the air
"Whoever picks up this coin.. gets to live" he threw it on the floor
"Now which of you magnificent bastards wants to join me?"

"Anyone wants that coin, pledge allegiance to klaus. Take it now. Go ahead. The choice is yours" south hated to think it but she did almost want to pick up the coin. She didn't want to hurt klaus. Hell. She didn't want to hurt anyone but if she wanted to live in this town she has to. She has no other choice

No one made any attempts to pick up the coin and Marcel sent a pointed look to klaus and he immediately went into action

he had killed 2 people instantly and raised his hands. Another 2 threw chains on his arms and brought him back and started to beat him

Everyone advanced on them as klaus put up a good fight before he looked defeated

That was before his eyes shone and he growled like he got some newfound strength

He was fighting again. Kicking, killing people left and right

They didn't stand a chance

"Marcel! Come and finish this!" He went to run forward but Rebekah pulled him back

People were walking up to him again since he had killed the last lot but south stood nervously aside which klaus took notice to

He looked at the girl and her partially terrified but mostly sympathetic form and turned his back to her, not making any move to kill her and instead killed someone else

He knew she was nervous, that she didn't want to be here. But she was, meaning she was loyal

She looked like she didn't even want to be here, she was almost covering her eyes from the gore she was witnessing

Marcel looked confused, he had just seen the exchange and he didn't know what was going on

"Take the coin" Rebekah said taking his mind away from it

South stared as her friends got killed every second, she couldn't handle the loss. These were people that she's close to

Klaus moved forward once again ready to take on the next lot

"Enough!" Marcel shouted, he knelt down and picked up the coin

"Well well well, the great Marcel. Self proclaimed king of New Orleans. Bowing before me"

"There" he said throwing the coin at klaus' feet
"I hereby pledge my allegiance to you. You have the keys to my kingdom. It's yours"

-

South had stayed behind after to help clean up the mess of her friends

"South" Marcel said walking forward. She lifted her head up to him

"Yeah" she muttered. She still felt awful about everything that happened

"Klaus. He saw you. He didn't kill you. Why not?" She could hear the part accusation in his voice as well as the nervousness. He was worried for her

"I-i dont know. I've never met him before in my life I swear" Marcel believed her, and rightfully so, she was telling the truth after all

"Okay" he nodded
"Okay, I was just checking" he pulled her into a hug she reciprocated

-

South got home later that night, more so early hours in the morning and she was extremely exhausted

She turned on the light to her house and walked through passing the living room

Her eyes caught onto a figure at the corner of her eyes and she froze, turning back.

She quickly turned on the light and saw that klaus was the figure

"Klaus" she whispered. She remembered what he said. About betraying him and instinctively moved back

"I'm not gonna hurt you" he promised advancing towards her
"I just have a few questions" he motioned for her to sit on the couch and he followed sitting on the other one

"I'm on vervain. I'm not going to tell you anything about Marcel or his place" she whispered

"I know" she waited for him to speak
"Did you want to kill me tonight?"

"You can't be killed" she deadpanned
"But no. I don't want to kill anyone, not even you. But I did want to be faithful to Marcel. So I would've. I'm sorry"

"Don't be. I admire your loyalty" he stood up and moved over to her, rubbing the backs of his fingers against her cheekbone lightly

"Are you going to kill me?"

"No. Of course not love. But why don't you want to kill anyone?"

"No one's evil at heart. And whatever's caused them to be that way is not their fault. It never is. Everyone deserves a chance to live. That's just what I think anyways" she shrugged and klaus smiled

"You have quite a mind"

"I do hope you're okay though, you took loads of hits today"

"I am. Completely healed. see?" He raised his arms showing her that there were no wounds

"I'm glad"

"I better leave you to it. It was nice meeting you..."

"South" she said stating her name
"You too klaus"
