Seven: the apocalypse

❤️Important note at the bottom❤️

Evangeline's POV

It is actually really peaceful watching someone paint. Especially when you laid out on a comfy sofa with a glass of expensive wine and the artists face is just as stunning as his work.

"I wish I could paint," I whine whilst pouting.
"You say that but last time you tried to paint you got bored and ended up writing your name in different colours," klaus says and I shrug.
"Touché," I say. "It's really pretty," I compliment his work.

"Looks like a giant snowflake," the voice of my uncle says.
"What are you doing here?" Me and stefan both ask each other. We have a little staring contest, neither of us wanting to ask first.

"I prefer to think of it as an expression of postmodernism. It's my donation to the Winter Wonderland charity event." Klaus fires back to stefan's previous comment, stopping our competition.

One of klaus' hybrid slaves walks in the room.
"You said it was urgent." He says and I roll my eyes.
"Yes, take this to the Mystic Grill immediately." Klaus orders, causing me to snort.
Yeah klaus that is totally urgent.

"You want me to be a delivery guy?" The hybrid asks and I raise my eyebrows at his questioning.
Klaus walks towards him.
"What I want is for you to do whatever I say. Without the attitude." Klaus says in a low voice and the hybrid grimaces before following his orders.
"And be careful with that. It's still wet" klaus shouts to him and I shake my head in amusement.

"Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, you know." Stefan informs klaus whilst making his 'I'm a hero' face.
"What is the point of my hybrids being sired to me if I can't maximize on the benefits of free labour?" Klaus says. "What are you doing here?" He asks him.
"Elena is sired to Damon." Stefan blurts out and I nearly choke on my wine.

"What?!" I choke out and sit up straight on the sofa. I start to laugh, hysterically might I add. "Tell me again." I order with a grin on my face. However my request is ignored.
"I intuited as much." Klaus casually says and I turn to face him.
"You knew!" I defensively shout.
"Which means I need to find the cure now more than ever and yet here you are making postmodern snowflakes." Stefan says.

"I retrieved the Hunter's sword from Italy which we'll use to decipher the map hidden in the Hunter's mark. You're the one who is supposed to deliver the Hunter and his mark." Klaus retorts.
"Well, Jeremy is the hunter, and he has to keep killing vampires to complete his mark, but we can't quite figure out how to keep him from killing us." Stefan tells us the problem and I laugh at it because it's actually quite funny.
"Sounds like quite the chore. Which is why I feel perfectly justified doing a little charity work."
"Hmm, or maybe you're lying about having found the sword." Stefan accuses.

"Why would I lie to you, Stefan?" Klaus asks and gestures for him to follow him to his vault. "We're in this together." He says and holds up the sword.
"The hilt acts as a cipher which we'll use to decode the marks on Jeremy's tattoo when he's killed enough vampires to complete it." Klaus says. And allows stefan to examine the sword.

"I heard you moved out of your house." Klaus starts a conversation making me furrow my brows.
"Bit of a martyr move, hm?"
He questions my uncle.
"I'm not here to bond, Klaus." Stefan smugly says and puts the sword down.
"Oh, on the contrary, I think right now I'm the best friend you've got." Klaus says with a smirk.

I roll my eyes and stand up.
"You know what? I kind of feel like I'm interrupting a rather intimate moment between the two of use. So I'm just going to go." I say with a fake smile.

"Are you." Stefan pauses. "Jealous?" He slowly asks his face full of confusion.
I give him my 'are you fucking serious' face and walk out of the room.
"Goodbye love." I hear klaus' voice before I slam the door.

------------------------

After spending the rest of the day taking advantage of the free house, I decide to go back to klaus'. I'm bored and he can help me pass the time.

"Klaus!" I shout and receive no answer. "Are you home? No! Okay then I'm going to burn your paintings!" I threaten. "Huh. I guess he's not home."
The door opens making me jump and there in all his glory is an extremely bloody and angry klaus.

I let out an airy laugh.
"What the hell happened to you? Or I should I be asking what the hell did you do?" I ask with a smirk.
Klaus pours himself a drink.
"They're dead." He says.
I press my lips into a line.
"Yeah, I got that." I say and gesture to all the blood.
"My hybrids. I killed them. They are conspiring against me and so I slaughtered them." He informs me then chuckles darkly like he was replaying it in his head. "You should of been there actually, it was apocalyptically poetic. You would of liked it."
I smile at him.

"You should of called me." I retort back. I pull slightly at the dried blood in his hair making me pull away from me. "You need a shower." I say.
He nods in agreement.
"Yeah you can join me." He says and pulls me along with him. I don't protest.
"Oh yeah and I also killed the mayor." He adds in.
"Carol. You killed Tyler's mam?" I ask in shock. Then let out a laugh. "Tyler will be pissed."
"What can he possibly do to me?" Klaus asks.

So I'm sure you've noticed that I've hardly been updating and for that I am sorry but I'm afraid that it is going to continue like this until after my exams.
I'm a month away from my GCSEs and oh my god I am not prepared whatsoever. I need to revise more and more. Sorry.
