Fifty Shades of Klaus : Chapter 6

In the beauty of the manor, Klaus helped me get to know him better by sharing about his relationship with his siblings. It was strange how he stiffened the second I asked him to tell me about them. But eventually, he grins at me, and talks like a parrot.

“Elijah is the oldest. He is the moral one amongst us siblings. He would always stand for what's right, even if he had to turn his back on us. However, he somehow manages to make it up to us in his own strange way. Family is greatly important to him.” He gave me a wolfish grin and continued, “Second is Finn. He is the most,” he paused, “well, for the lack of better words, troubled. He is always so paranoid about everything. He takes insignificant things and turn them into a whole new kind of danger. The introvert that he is hates the fact that I possess this much power over the town.

“I would be third of the Mikaelson men — apart from the dead.”

I raise an eyebrow at him in curiosity, “Apart from the dead? Did someone die?”

He frowns, bowing his head in the process. Something about the way he looks seem pitiable. I don't quite get it, but the way he bowed his head made my heart clench. “I had an older brother. His name was Aaron, but he died a long time ago.” Saying that, he raised his head, giving me a smile.

That smile would probably have made me smile too, but I couldn't make myself do it. It's so sad, “I'm sorry. What happened to him?” I asked.

He sighs, not with sadness but rather frustration. “Too many centuries ago to matter.”

Centuries? What is it with this man and exaggerations? Why does he always use centuries? If he used years, it would still mean all the same, but he just always had to make it sound a lot worse with centuries. “Okay,” I said, letting go of the matter. “And how would you describe yourself?”

Fifty Shades of Klaus : Chapter 5

Morning came as the moon flew to hide. It’s been five days since my last encounter with him. Sitting down, I looked out the window. The sun is so bright, and eye catching. It’s beautifully, blinding. I stretched out my arms and legs before entering the shower. The hot water cascaded down my aching back. It felt really good.

I dried my hair with a towel, hearing Bonnie’s knock as I did. Opening the door without permission, Bonnie started talking, “How dare he does that to me?! He stood me up, Caroline! I can’t believe he stood me up!”

“Kol?” I asked. She nodded. “Well, you warned me about Klaus. You should’ve been more careful with his brother. How did he stand you up?”

She sighed, “We were supposed to meet yesterday night for a movie, but he didn’t show up. I tried calling him, but it always went to voice mail. He just called now saying, ‘something terrible befell on my brother. I’m sorry,’” she says, trying to imitate the charming accent of a certain brown-haired bachelor, “then he hung up! Without another word, he hung up on me! How do I react to that?”

Brother? Which brother? Elijah? Or… Klaus? I frowned, shaking the thought out of my head. “I have to get to work. We’ll talk about it later, okay?” I gave her a brief hug before heading out the door. Work should probably get my mind off of him.

The other end started to ring. He answered, “Caroline.”

I lay down on my bed, slipping my shoes off of my feet, “Look, I'm super sorry for missing out on your visit, but you should've told me you were coming in the first place! So, I don't a hundred percent blame myself.”

I heard him chuckle, “Don't be like this with me, Caroline. I have my exams coming up. What's wrong?”

Smiling, “What? I can't call up my best friend because I'm bored and have nothing to do in life?”

He laughed, “We both know you always have something to do in your life. Besides, you're not the type to call for no reason. You have Bonnie there for your boy troubles. Meaning that when you call me, it’s either urgent or very significant.”

By the time we got home, the moon had already passed and the sun was already starting to rise. I slipped out of the dress Klaus bought me and laid it over the couch in my room. Undoing my hair, I hear a knock. “It’s open,” I shouted. Bonnie let herself inside the room as I continued minding my own business.

“I promised to explain everything,” she said. I gave her a nod, “I can’t tell you all the exact details, because it would reveal Klaus’ secret. And one thing that I am fairly certain of is that no one can mess with the King and get to live another day. However, there are some things that I could tell you.”

“So talk,” I sat down on the bed, curling up.

She swallowed, “I can’t tell you exactly why we knew each other, but I can assure you that Klaus and I are not, and have never been romantically involved.”

I nod, “Okay. Well, if there’s anything else that you could actually tell me,” I say, climbing off the bed and walking to the door. I gesture to the door as I opened it, “Please don’t hesitate to stop by. My door is always open,” I say sarcastically. I don’t want to fight with her, but it hurts me to know that she doesn’t trust me at all.

“There is,” she said, getting up to close the windows and fans. “Close the door and get over here. I have something to show you.” I made a face. “Trust me,” she mouthed. I let out a heavy sigh, slamming the door shut. She grabbed a pair of scissors from my night table and ripped open one of my pillows.

“Hey!” I shouted, climbing back on bed.

She scattered the feathers on my bed, smiling. “Be patient.” She sits on the foot of my bed, “I need to swear you to secrecy.”

I kept my expression jaded. “It’s kind of a bad day for that kind of stuff.”

“Swear. ‘Cause I’m not supposed to be showing you this.” I kept silent. “Look, I know I’ve been kind of MIA when you need me the most. And I suck. But you need to swear.”

I sigh, “Okay. I swear.”

“Okay.” She made gestures as she spoke, “There’s no windows open, right?”

I looked around from left to right. “Right,” nodding a little.

“There’s no fan. No air-conditioning.”

I rolled my eyes. This is ridiculous. “None! What are you doing?”

Smiling, “Grams showed me this. You’re gonna love it.” She paused with an ear-to-ear grin on her face. “Ready?” I nod lightly. She stares intently into the pile of feathers, concentrating. Placing her right hand on the air above the pile, she slowly raised her hand palm down. Surprisingly, a feather followed the wind trail her hand left.
