RedHead From His Past
The Mikaelson brothers have received a letter from someone who they thought they wouldn't hear from ever again. Klaus and Elijah are still reeling from the body they found in their home. Klaus is rereading the letter while Elijah examines the woman's body to make sure she's really dead.
"I remember her a better poet." Klaus scowled as he hands the letter to Elijah.
"Oh, I wouldn't say that this is lacking in poetry." Eliajh said, glancing at the letter as if it were nothing and hands it back.
"She wants us to find her. So let's." Klaus told them and he throws the letter back on the body.
Klaus heads for the front door, but the older stops him.
"Are you so eager, Niklaus? Last time you even said her name was a thousand years ago, when you told me to never speak it again in your presence." Elijah asked Klaus.
"So, am I to wait as she leaves her little calling-cards all over my home?" Klaus asked in annoyance.
Elijah looks uncomfortable, and at first, he is unable to look Klaus in the eyes and said "There is something you should know."
Klaus' eyes widen in horror at the idea that Elijah has kept a secret from him, and Elijah finally looks up to meet his gaze before he spoke "When Mother seized control of my mind, unleashing those monstrosities that lurk behind the red door... I saw something."
Klaus seems torn between wanting to know the truth and remaining blissfully ignorant. Listening to their conversation, Faye, Sage and Lizzie stands behind one of the pillars on the balcony and scrunches her eyesbrows s Elijah stands to his feet and walks toward his brother.
Lizzie was wearing a T-shirt with a leather jacket, a pant and some boots.
Faye was wearing a sweater with a leather jacket, a pant, a belt and some boots.
Sage was wearing a sweater with a jacket, a jean and some boots.
"Aurora was there." Elijah stated.
"If you mean to confess a thousand-year-old secret that will divide us after our hard-won reconciliation, then te absolvo, brother... there is nothing you could have done involving her that would be worse than what she did to me." Klaus told him.
"What did she do?" Lizzie asked.
"Whatever it is, it can wait! We have a plate of here-and-now problems, and I mean to clear it. If it makes you feel any better, we can kill Aurora together! Then neither of us need play her little mind-games ever again, hmm?" Klaus said as he left.
Lizzie followed after him.
The wind blew her hair in her face before she entered a random shop hoping it was only to come in constact with some science beakers and drops of blood on a table with bo one to be found. Glancing around the table, Lizzie started walking around searching because it seemed weird that no one was in the building in the middle of the day. Resting her hands on the counter she could hear someone moving around in the shadows where she summoned a fire ball calling out "Show yourself before I burn whoever is stalking me!"
"Hmm vigorously threatening someone. You know that reminds me of my lover."Someone walked out from the shadows pillar where Lizzie came to see a woman with red hair and green eyes smirking at her "Although I must say I am rather more impressed with you. How exactly are you doing a fire spell? Cause I don't hear a heartbeat on you, witch."
Glaring at the vampire she shoved her fangs with the veins never lowering her fire ball and said "Because I am a heretic, half siphon witch and half vampire. Now who the hell are you and why are you in our city?"
"Awe where are my manners. Forgive me, I'm Aurora de Martel and you are?"Aurora smirked in her direction.
Lizzie said glaring, "Lizzie Parker-Mikaelson."
"Ah so Elijah is your husband?"She asked but dropped her smile when Lizzie didn't respond back right before the door behind her opened and someone walked in. It was Klaus.
Aurora smiled " I knew you would find me."
"Elizabeth, get away from her. Now."Klaus told his wife, making Lizzie finally lower the fireball in her hand disappear.
Aurora smiled brightly towards him which made Lizzie slightly confused "Hello, my sweet love."
"That's Tristan's sister? And what the fuck is she talking about?"Lizzie asked, getting jealous.
Klaus moved forward tugging her into his embrace with his gaze shifting down to her and his voice trailing off in a gentle whisper "You remember when I told you she was my ex, Elizabeth."
Aurora said to Klaus "A thousand years. Can it really have been so long? Looking at you now, it feels like yesterday."
"If yesterday were the apocalypse."Klaus scowled.
Aurora moved forward closer to the two with her gaze dropping down to see the wedding rings on each of their left hands as she said "Before we keep this conversation we need to discuss how you have betrayed my heart without hesitation obviously. I never thought you would do something so cruel as to choose over me this half beastly heretic freak!"
"You will not speak of my wife in such fool words ever again if you wish to keep your tongue in your mouth! Elizabeth is my wife, my true love!"Klaus growled as he moved up in her face threatening her with his hybrid eyes.
Aurora raised her head up where he took a step backwards from her "I notice Elijah's not with you. Was he reluctant to tag along?"
Klaus chuckled at her with a wicked smirk on his face "On the contrary, he's been calling me incessantly since I ditched him to find you, raving about some ancient secret and the possibility of using your head as a footstool."
Aurora chuckled "Well, I'm sure he would rather have his footstool that have me share that little secret."
"Let me guess. In the time between being with me and seeking refuge in the arms of your brother, you slept with mine?"Klaus scoffed.
The red haired vampire replied "Oh, your accusations are so banal. The truth is, I've never been with your brother. At least, not in the way that you think."
Klaus, tired of their game, cuts to the point "Why are you here, Aurora?"
Aurora told him "The witches here, they celebrate Fête de Cadeau. Feast of Gifts. It made me remember that very intimate gift we gave each other so long ago."
Klaus leaned his palms on the table shifting his gaze to Lizzie seeing that she hadn't said a word before he said "You've had a thousand birthdays since. If I forgot to send a card, it's because I forgot about you. Is that why you're here? To remind me?"
Aurora scoffed, walking from him while she spoke fiercely " I am here for the same reason Lucien and Tristan are... to protect my sire. Now, if you'd turned me that night like I'd asked, I would be here to protect you. But, since you didn't, I need to know... Where in the hell is Rebekah?"
"Off enjouing her life which is what Nik and I were doing until you and all the other vampires they have sired over the years started showing up. So if you're so terrified of this vision in this family I suggest that someone start talking about it. Because I don't want to keep standing around waiting for answers!" Lizzie snapped his voice at her stomping up to here where their chests were almost pressed up against one another.
Aurora clasped her hand together smiling "Ah a feisty spirit. I applaud you Niklaus for that. But I still despise that you picked someone else over me after all these years."
"I'm sorry I have done nothing to you in the short time we have known one another and you already seem to despise me."Lizzie told her, finally moving away from the doorway getting in her face when she vamped around on her feet with the two women giving the other a death glare.
Aurora head over to a science beaker pricking her finger drawing blood as she tells the heretic "Call me jealous, Elizabeth. But I will give you faie warning that he will get you with his charm and promises. But he won't keep them, he will only break your heart in the end."
She then added, looking at Klaus "You can always catch an insect with the smell of a flower...But it's the smell of blood that draws a carnivore."
Klaus asked "And what draws a snake? "
"Ooh, how you loathe me, so certain I've come to do you harm. Yet, as I recall, we did plenty of harm to each other. And, if I'm not mistaken, we both rather liked it, didn't we? Do you remember what that first time felt like, to be with someone every bit as powerful, as tormented, and as cursed as you?"Aurora smiled leaning closer to him up on her toes parting her lips.
"Yes."Klaus whispered.
" Look me in the eye and tell me that you haven't thought about what we had every day for the last thousand years. You want to know why I have come? Because after a thousand years of trying to erase your touch, your smell, the taste of your lips... I'm here for you. For this."Aurora declared but Klaus shoved her against the wall with vampire speed and said "You come here to tear my family apart even more. All the while I can see through your tricks and lies about being there for Rebekah. But you need to realize that I no longer care for you."
Spinning around on her feet her boots made a noise against the floor when she slammed the door behind the pair. Running as fast as she could trying to do it at a human speed. Klaus came outside gently vampire and grabbing her forearm stopping her "Elizabetha, wait. Tell me what's wrong. I didn't kiss her or anything like that. You saw her."
"I'm not angry you have an ex. I figured that you did after a thousand years. I am just afraid that you still have feelings for her."Lizzie admitted.
"I don't care about Aurora. I am in love with you."Klaus said.
"You promise?" Lizzie asked.
"I promise. I love no one but you."Klaus said as they kissed.
"I am better now. But I'm gonna go find Faye and Freya. Then we'll head home."Lizzie smiled.
Klaus nodded.
Lizzie vamp sped away.
