VENOMOUS LIPS.
011. | ❛ unexpected company. ❜

THE BLONDE STARED ASTONISHED AT THE MAN BEFORE HER, AND COULD SAY THAT SOME EMOTION SEEPED ITS WAY INTO HER EYES AS KLAUS HELD HIS EVERLASTING SMIRK TO EMILIA. THE SUDDEN FLASH TO HER OLD LIFE BEFORE BECOMING A RIPPER QUEEN, ONE WHERE MAYA WAS STILL ALIVE AND ONE WHERE SHE STILL A SILVER OF EMOTION LEFT. The droplets of their drinks were creating a ring, and carving into the wood from the amount of time that had been spent of them observing each other.

The only thing that did stop them from the silence was the emerging of Stefan from behind Emilia, wrapping a arm around her waist pulling her into him. Stefan pushed her blonde locks aside and nibbled her exposed neckline before his eyes caught her gaze. Klaus's eyes were slightly widen while he took his drink before they returned to normal when he caught Stefan's eyes.

"You didn't tell me that you had a friend?" Stefan wickedly curled his smile before extending his hand out to him, before she pushed his arm back down.

"Don't pay attention to him, my love. He's just an accessory of my past." Emilia looked to Klaus before to Stefan, holding him back from Klaus and turning him around against his own wishes.

Klaus called out to them while sipping his drink, "Oh darling, Emilia. I would suspect that after all we shared together that you would be more welcoming to me, after all you are here thanks to me."

"Did he turn you?" Stefan asked Emilia, who wanted to desperately get away from the Mikaelson in front of them; for whenever a Mikaelson was never it could never be good news.

Before Emilia could respond to his question, Klaus stepped in taking the reins of the conversation. "Fortunately not, but my brother did have the pleasure of wooing Emilia and turning her. Although looking at it now, it seems that I was the unfortunate one."

Her small hands balled up into little balls of fists, and brushing her hair aside and walking up close to Klaus. For the proximity that they were in, the two retained their faces of cruel wickedness never letting the other get the best of them. For there was one thing that she had spited against the Mikaelsons and that was that their bite might have resulted in a vampire lifestyle, but never prepared her for the Ripper side of it.

"Trust me, at least your brother knew how to treat a woman with some decency." She spat at him before turning and making her way once again to Stefan's side. Although before she connected their lips, a new voice emerged before them.

"It's nice to know that you've enjoyed my company."

Emilia stood centimeters away from Stefan's lips with her eyes widen at the voice that had entangled her many years before. Turning ever so slowly around again, she was met by the younger Mikaelson who was dressed up in a nice tuxedo much like their first night together. No physically words were able to come out of her mouth as it remained opened, and was surprised that no mosquitoes entered it. Memories flashed before her eyes of Kol, and the love that both parties shared. One where she didn't feel the vindictiveness of seducing the man, but both creating a relationship of lust and passion.
She could feel her a certain sensation return to her body, as her eyes closed for a pure second before she let out a sigh.

With the various men surrounding her, Emilia felt her heart constrict itself as the different emotions kept rolling in one by one bringing all together a period of guilt washing over her. Grief was the main one that she had subdued the longest; the amount of people she's killed for pure pleasure and not fully grieving Maya's death came like a gushing air. And with each emotion rising, Emilia was running out of breath and feeling lightheaded from the tears she was holding back.

"I need some air." Emilia rushed out of the club, and finding the back alleyway to relax herself by letting out a crying wail.

The relief that she felt from the suffering aided a bit, but overall she couldn't live with herself. Emilia was vindictive and sinister at times, yet the only person who kept her grounded was Maya; whom she also lost and did a major disservice to by continuing down the dark path. She slammed the brick wall next to her with her hands, letting out the frustration of every action she had commuted because of her Ripper tendency, her vindictiveness, and pure venomous lifestyle she was brought up in.

She went to slam once again but was stopped by a hand greater than hers, and pulled tightly into an embrace by who she suspected was Kol. Relaxing in his arms, he held her up as she continued to cry into his shoulder letting all the pain out.

"Don't fret, Emilia. Letting it out is the best we could do. Our humanity, regardless of what any vampire thinks, is the most sacred thing we have." Kol whispered to her as she wrapped her arms around him holding on tight before pushing herself off of him.

"I killed people— innocent people to have fun! Dear lord," Emilia started to pant. "Maya died! I broke my promise! She died because I was a stupid, inconsiderate, vindictive, whore, lying Ripper sister!"

Kol stopped her flaunting, and grabbed a hold of her arms to place her against the brick wall to keep her in place, "We've all done terrible things that we aren't proud of. But that's the lesson, to take that and become a better person afterwards. You aren't a lost cause, Emilia. You can still fulfill Maya's promise."

"How? How can a Ripper come back from this?" Emilia whimpered before he cupped her cheeks.

"Come with me. Let's leave and go far away from this place, and from my family. Because you remember the thing I taught you about Mikaelsons,"

"Wherever there is a Mikaelson, trouble always ensues." Emilia completed the sentence before giving her response. "Okay, let's go."

Before the two could whisk away together, another force stopped them, "Can't let you leave, baby brother."

Kol angrily turned around, "What's going to stop me, Nik? You know better that I'm not afraid of you Nik. In fact the second that we turned into these beasts and Father killed our mother, I ran far away from this dread family only to be reeled back in. But I'm done!"

Klaus smirked before speeding and driving a dagger into his heart, "Yes brother, you are done."

Emilia cupped her hand over her mouth at Kol's body shriveling up with veins and before she could escape herself, Klaus grabbed her heart keeping her in place. She started hyperventilating at his hand surrounding her heart as it pulsated quickly.

"Oh Emilia, you were my favorite out of all of them. My brother couldn't have found another soul like his than yours! It's a shame that this is where your story is ending." Klaus smirked as his hand gripped her heart even tighter, which Emilia in took a sharp breath.

"You can let me go, Klaus." She pleaded through her cries, "I haven't done anything to you. Let me leave."

"See, that's where you're wrong my sweet Emilia. You haven't done anything to me yet. But in hindsight, you can become a enemy to my plans in they future. I need my darling brother to know who's in charge, and for picking the wrong side that was what happens to him. While you exited, Stefan and I had a brilliant conversation. After all, he is the famous Ripper that I've been hearing about. And having him on my side is a good adversary, but there lies a weakness and it's you."

"I'll leave, and never encounter you or Stefan again. Please let me go, Klaus. I'm begging you." She pressed her hands together in a praying stance, as Klaus's eyes showed that it debated whether or not to let the blonde go.

Klaus smiles innocently at Emilia, who let out a sigh as she felt his hand ease of her heart. He titled his head to one side before gripping her heart with a strong hand, and ripping it out before her and letting her corpse fall to the floor.

Her heart fell alongside her as it beat once last time, as did her eyes before resting and the pale veins started plaguing her body as she withered; her eyes while they were still open sparkled compared to her sneer. The once wicked glance turned into a innocent state of hope and peace as Emilia was free of her ways and would be at peace with Maya.

[•]

Yes! That's the end of the story! I know that this was a loaded chapter, but it ended out on a bang. Klaus is the big bad wolf so it was only fitting that he delivered Emilia's death. And bby Kol coming back and turning her emotions on, and Stefan being himself. It was truly an amazing ride and journey through this wicked character. And it was my first wicked character at writing so perhaps I could write more in the future? It was truly an honor to get to write this so thank you so much starfragment for giving me the pleasure of writing this.

There was only one way that this could've ended, and it was with Emilia dying. She couldn't get a happy ending but she got a semi happy ending? But at least she's reunite with Maya on the other side, so it's a wrap. And thank you guys for reading!
