Eternal ➳ N. Mikaelson [COMPLETED]

➳ 15: into the wild

KLAUS was standing in the living room, looking at Kol's burnt corpse in mourning. Ingrid strolled through the house and stopped right at the barrier, she was holding an oddly shaped tarp in her hand and a cup carrier with two coffees. He turned to face her with an angry face and scowled. "You abandoned me."

She scoffed with an offended expression. "I did not abandon you, Niklaus. If I had, I would not have returned with this." She said waving the tarp up with a happy smirk then began uncovering it. "Alexander's sword." The Mikaelson wife pointed out before handing it out for him to take through the barrier. He took it from her with a confused face and she paced the floor. "I found your poor excuse for a hybrid and his darling girlfriend sneaking around our house." She informed him in disgust then walked around the foyer into the kitchen and stared down at Kol's burnt corpse in sorrow.

Klaus sighed heavily then titled his head to the side. "I suppose you are forgiven... am I to assume you have a revenge plan in play?"

She looked up from her deceased brother-in-law to her husband and clapped her hands together. "Yes! I am going to let them stew in their own fear until they come back." Ingrid replied with a devious grin then walked back toward the living room with a worried face. "How are you, darling?"

"I am peachy." He replied sarcastically causing her to roll her eyes.

"I know better than to push any further." She whispered to herself, turned to Kol's body again and frowned deeply. "What would you like me to do about Kol?"

"Leave him. It fuels my rage." Klaus answered in a gruff tone while staring at his little brother's corpse.

She grimaced slightly before walking around the foyer to the front room again. "I called Elijah." She said with a sad facial expression. "I informed him about Kol and he said while he is grief-stricken, it is too dangerous to return to Mystic Falls... and I have to agree."

"So big brother isn't going to come home when his family needs him most?" Klaus sarcastically questioned then smirked bitterly. "How surprising."

"Niklaus..." She called out in a scolding tone then looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "You cannot blame him. As long as they have the white oak stake, we are at risk." She then paused and held a finger to her lips before speeding upstairs.

Suddenly, Tyler walked in the front door with a pleased smirk. "Morning, sunshine. You look pathetic."

"Only until Bonnie's spell locking me in here wears off. Then I'll look different. Angrier, perhaps. Or I won't look like anything because I'll have gouged your eyeballs from their sockets." Klaus threatened harshly as he eyes narrowed into dark slits.

"My friends will be back with the cure by then. So, I could shove it down your throat and make you mortal." Tyler mocked with a grin.

Klaus smirked at him and laughed. "I'm an Original. What makes you think my entire vampire bloodline won't be cured along with me? I.e., you."

Tyler pursed his lips and shook his head. "You know what I think? I think that's impossible. I think the moment you stop being a vampire, our whole blood connection to you is broken, and your sire-line ceases to exist." He concluded happily and shrugged his shoulder. "So, whatever happens to you, happens only to you, which means I can kill your ass and no one else has to die. Although I am still debating just how to do it."
