PlayBoy☆Klaus Mikaelson

thirty four

My fingers traced the lined paper, rereading the words in my head. I could definitely tell it was from Elijah before even seeing his name signed at the bottom.

The apology letter made me feel a slight sense of happiness in some weird way. It was a note pretty much saying 'Sorry I almost killed you because of selfish reasons- and then ditching' (But in a more Elijah way- which meant big words and etiquette.) But that was completely out of norm.

I've had multiple people in my life almost kill me for some reason of their own. Of course I've moved on from it but it was nice to receive a genuine apology. I could feel that he felt remorse.

Okay Elijah that bumped you up to #1 favorite Mikaelson. Rebekah had to move down anyways for attempting to kill my sister again.

God this was gonna be hard to keep up with.

I snap out of my thoughts when Elena shoves a book into my lap.

"So what's this all have to do with Ric?" Jeremy asks as my eyes scan the passage Elena had highlighted.

"This has happened before. The ring lets Alaric cheat death- but it's taking a toll on him. It's changing him." Meredith speaks making my eyes widen.

It was confusing. Alaric apparently had a psycho murderer second personality. That's just a cherry on top of everything already going on.

"Thats uh heavy." I mutter, handing the journal to Jeremy.

"Thats one word for it."

My phone dings. I look down to read the message before speaking.

"Hey, I'm not feeling so good. I'm gonna go lie down or something." I say, standing from my seat and shoving my phone into my pocket. I hear a chorus of okays and even Elena offering an aspirin pill- which I decline.

I eventually end up heading up the stairs to my room. My stomach did small flips as I opened my bedroom door.

My face drops in confusion as I realize my room is empty. I step in and close the door anyways before looking around.

"Hello?"

"Scarlett." I jump at the familiar voice that rung behind me. I turn on my heel and almost immediately push Klaus away from me, who had only looked at me in amusement.

I hadn't seen him since the night before. After breaking up a rather comforting kiss Klaus had simply pressed a kiss onto my hand and wished me sweet dreams before leaving. He seemed like he maybe needed sleep just as much as I did.

He seemed stressed- which is not saying a lot for a dude with paranoia problems.

Now though, he must've gotten the rest he needed. He was back to his usual cocky attitude.

"Seriously?"

"Didn't mean to frighten you, Love. It seems its becoming a habit isn't it?" He says, a small smirk playing at his lips. I roll my eyes.

"So funny. Now what do you want?"

Klaus hums, his eyes flicker towards the necklace around my neck. I had completely forgotten I even wore it daily. His hand trails up to the silver charm, he runs his thumb across it. I feel my breath hitch ever so slightly.

"I have a few loose ends to tend to." He says just as I look up to meet his eyes. He drops his hand.

"What does that have to do with you being in my room?" I ask cooly, despite how quick my heart was beating. Last night scared me way more than it should have.

I felt like this was more than just an attraction at this point. I felt vulnerable- yaknow with the exception of the whole power imbalance. He could have my heart in his palm without even batting an eye. The most I can do is like bitchslap him which would probably feel like a tickle to him anyways.
