Chapter 9 - Klaus
Chapter 9 - Klaus
The family mansion was quiet. Klaus was standing by the fire, thinking about what had happened earlier today. His plan had worked out perfectly, the fight he'd witness between Caroline and Tyler was a huge success. The thing that fascinated Klaus the most was the way Tyler had treated the sheriff. Klaus had only told Tyler to hurt Liz, but Tyler almost killed her. The hybrid element in his body was evil and bloodthirsty. Klaus looked into the fire and the heat was making his eyes dry.
Footsteps on the driveway interrupted Klaus in his thoughts, and he turned towards the front door to face the intruder. He was expecting the door to slam open and to see Damon or maybe Stefan standing there to start their next plan and kill him. But there was only a gently knock on the door. The breathing outside the door was familiar to Klaus, so he sat down in his armchair and called out:
"Welcome Tyler." And the door slowly opened. Tyler was standing on the porch and by the look of his face, he'd been crying.
"I hate it when they cry.." Klaus whispered to himself before he stood up and started to walk towards Tyler. He put his hands behind his back and looked at Tyler, head to toe, inspecting him. Dry blood on his hands and on his mouth told him Tyler hadn't been home in a while.
"Well well, Tyler boy. What have you been up to?" Klaus smiled at Tyler before he turned and started to walk into the room and towards the fire again. He stopped at the small table with spirits and poured up a glass of whiskey to himself and slowly started to drink it.
"Please, help yourself." He said to Tyler and made a hand gesture towards the table with bottles and glasses. Tyler slowly started to walk inside the living room and walked up to the table and took a glass and filled it with vodka. Pure vodka.
"Heavy stuff Tyler! What is troubling you?" Klaus asked him with a smile and sat down in a sofa next to the fire. Tyler sat down on an armchair and looked at Klaus for a few seconds before he took a big sip from the glass. He grimaced and coughed a few times before he took a deep breath and started to talk.
"I really need your help Klaus." Tyler said and looked straight into Klaus's eyes.
"I can see that." Klaus raised an eyebrow and looked at Tyler's bloody hands to prove his point.
"Please. Don't try to make any jokes or anything, I really need you. You're the only other hybrid I can talk to." Tyler put down the glass on a side table and buried his face in his hands.
"I hurt someone. Someone I care about. But the problem is that I can't remember a thing!" Said Tyler, he was talking into his hands. He didn't see the evil grin on Klaus's lips.
"Tell me." Klaus said and stood up to once again stare into the fire. Tyler looked up from his hands and stared out into the thin air.
"The last thing I remember is that I'm walking to the hotel room I've been staying in, and then everything just turned black. The next think I know, I'm standing on all four over Caroline's mother and I'm covered in blood." Tyler inhaled after telling the whole story without breathing. "And Caroline was the one who found me.. What shall I do.." His voice was shaking, and Klaus almost fell sorry for him. "Caroline think I attacked her mother on purpose and now she will never talk to me again. I don't now how to explain to her that it wasn't my fault."
"Well mate, that is one hell of a situation you've put yourself in." Klaus said and turned towards Tyler. He leaned against the fire place and crossed his arms against his chest.
"I know." Tyler said with a sigh and stood up. "But what the hell should I do?"
"Leave." Klaus said with a calm voice.
"What?" Tyler looked at him, the surprise was written all over his face.
"LeaveMysticFalls." Klaus repeated and started to walk towards the front door.
"I can't just leave. I've already done that before and that didn't work out for the good." Tyler said with a protest in his voice.
"I said. Leave!" Klaus turned and was talking in a low and dark voice. His eyes were almost black. Tyler's stomach twitched, and the urge to leave MysticFalls was spreading in his body.
Guess what? Chapter 10 is also finished! And I'll post it tomorrow! :))
