Arielle woke up feeling dizzy. She looked over and saw Elena in the passenger seat, crying and yelling at Stefan, who just ignored her as he looked at his phone.
Arielle focused herself, she felt her arms being tied up, and saw her legs were as well, "I'm gonna kill you Stefan." she muttered.
The man looked at her threw the rear view mirror, "Look who finally decided to join the party." he sassed with a smile.
"Look, I don't really care about what's going on here, but if you could just let me go Stef, that'd be great."
Stefan sent her a sarcastic smile before dialing a number. Arielle struggled with the ropes until she stopped hearing a familiar voice through the phone.
"ðð¡ðððð, âðð¤ ðððð ðð¡ ðð ð¡ð âððð ð¦ðð¢ð ð£ðððð." Klaus said over the phone.
"Tell your hybrids to get out of the town Klaus." Stefan demanded.
"ðððð ð¡âðð¡'ð ððð¡ ððððð âððððð ð¢ðð¡ðð ð¼ ððð¡ ðð¦ ððððððð ðððð." the man tutted.
"Okay," he said before looking at Arielle through the rear view mirror and then at his girlfriend, "Well, I'm gonna drive your blood source and Arielle off Wickery Bridge."
Klaus scoffed over the phone, "ð¼ ððð'ð¡ ðððððð£ð ð¦ðð¢ ðð¡ðððð, ð¦ðð¢ ð¤ðð'ð¡ ðððð ð¡âðð."
Stefan bit his wrist and put it on Elena's mouth, forcing her to drink; he then took a stake and stabbed it into Arielle's leg.
"Oh, you bunny-munching bitch!" the girl exclaimed.
"ðâðð¡'ð ððððð ðð?" Klaus asked, worry slightly present in his voice.
"I just fed Elena my blood and stabbed Arielle's leg with a stake." Stefan informed, "No more hybrids if she's a vampire."
"ððð¢ ð¤ðð'ð¡ ðð ðð¡." Klaus said.
"Really?" he scoffed, "Try me, because your coffins are next to go." he started speeding up, and Arielle could see Wickery Bridge in the distance, "Say goodbye to your family Klaus."
"Stefan, slow down!" Elena begged, tears streaming down her face.
"I'm going to kill you, Stef." Arielle grunted.
"ð¹ððð," Klaus relented, "ð¼'ðð ð ððð ð¡âðð ðð¤ðð¦, ð¦ðð¢ ð¤ðð."
Stefan continued to speed up, "Stefan stop the car!" Elena begged.
"STEFAN! Stop!"
"ðð¡ðð ð¡âð ðððððð¦ ððð, ðð¡ðððð!"
Stefan stopped the car and hung up the phone, he turned back to Arielle and removed the stake, discarding it into the backseat, he leaned back and undid her ropes.
Elena rushed out of the car, and Stefan went to follow her, but Arielle held him back and stabbed the stake into his arm, "I'm not killing you because of my sister, but try that again....and you'll be six feet under." she threatned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arielle limped along the streets of Mystic Falls, trying her best to get herself home. She heard a whoosh behind her, but she just kept walking; she wasn't in the mood.
"Are you alright, love?"
The girl scoffed, "Yes, because after being stabbed in the leg with a stake and being in a car with a psychopath, everyone is fine."
Klaus walked up, now matching her pace, "Let me take you home."
"No."
The hybrid sighed at her stubborness, "Arielle, you're hurt. Let me take you home before you hurt yourself even more."
Arielle stopped in her tracks and turned to face him, "You're right. I am hurt." she said, "Because of ð¦ðð¢. Because you and Stefan are acting like a bunch of kids, running around like two idiots hurting others because your not getting what you want."
Klaus went to say something but the girl cut him off, "I don't care about any of this anymore. In fact, I'm exhausted that two century old vampires can't act their fucking age." she raged, "And I'm even more exhausted at the fact that it took for me to almost ððð to realize that."
The man gulped knowing she would be even more furious at what he would say next, "Then at least take this." he handed her a vial of blood making her confused.
"What is this for?"
"Tyler bit Caroline." he answered hesitantly.
Arielle's face hardened; instead of saying anything, she turned around and walked away, or limped, but you get the point.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arielle burst through the door of her home, she immediately went to Caroline's room, where she saw Matt and her mother, standing over Caroline's sweaty body.
"Arielle, what happened?" her mom asked, seeing her bloody leg.
"I'll explain later." she said. She walked up to Caroline and fed her Klaus' blood. Everyone in the room felt relief as they watched Caroline's bite heal ifself.
"You saved me." Caroline said weakly.
Arielle felt a few tears spill from her eyes, "Always."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arielle burst into the Mikaelson home, "Klaus!" she yelled out, "Get out here you idiot."
Klaus walked out, looking at her face, which was cold, she held no emotion in her face, and it slightly scared him, "Hello, loâ"
"Nuh-uh." she cut off, "You're not gonna 'ð»ðððð, ððð£ð' your way out of this." she told him, "You had Tyler bite Caroline, why?"
"Why do you assume I did it?"
Arielle scoffed, "Because Tyler is in love with Caroline, he wouldn't bite her knowing it would kill her." she said obviously, "And you're the only other person with that power over him; putting two and two together isn't difficult."
Klaus nodded, her reasoning made sense, and was true, "I had to get Stefan to think that she was going to die." he muttered.
"Why?"
"He has my coffins, my family. I have to hurt those he cares about to get them back."
"Well, congratulations, because you succeeded in that, and not only did you put Caroline's life in danger, but also mines."
"Me?" he scoffed, "I wasn't the one who kidnapped you."
"No, but you and Stefan are fighting, and the people who each of you care about are getting caught in crossfire."
"And you think that's you?" he asked. She was a person he cared about, but he wouldn't let that be known, not after what happened tonight.
Her face faltered a bit, "No, I guess not." she muttered, "But Stefan seemed to think I was one of those people." she said, "And I'm glad I'm not." ððð, "Elijah has told me all about the people who get caught in the Mikaelson crossfire, especially yours, and I wouldn't want to get caught in them."
His face faltered, but he quickly returned to his usual expression, the one he usually had when talking to people he disliked, "Well, consider yourself lucky that you won't be caught in my crossfires anymore. You'll only have to worry abou Elijah's and Rebekah's."
"I'd rather be caught in theirs then yours." she said, "Anyone would. Even your own siblings."
"Really?" he tried his best to not let her know how much her words affected him.
"Yes, really." she repeated, "They'd want to be anywhere else but be in the presense of the same person who daggers them over and over again just because they have abandonment issues."
Klaus scoffed, "Like you're one to talk." Arielle raised a brow at his words, "You would do the worst thing in the world and justify it with 'ð¶ððððððð ðððððð âððð' or 'ð¼'ð ððððð ðð¡ ððð ð¶ððððððð' but nothing would ever change the fact that you are exactly like Elijah, like Rebekah, like ðð."
Arielle was hesitant to ask her question, but she needed to hear him say it, "And what is that?"
"A killer." he answered, "A cold-hearted, vicious killer." Arielle stayed in her place as Klaus walked closer with every word he said, "And whether you want to admit it or not, you ððð like me, exactly like me. You know it's one of the reasons you pick up the phone everytime I call."
She looked up at him, with nothing but cold emotions in her eyes, "No one could ever be like you. You're a monster who hurts whoever he wants just because he can. You drive everyone away and then you blame them. When the only person with the blame is yourself."
"I do whatever I need to protect my family." he defended.
"Right. Keep telling yourself that."
"I will." he looked down at her and hardened his expression before saying, "Now get out!" he ordered, "Try finding someone who isn't a monster to yell at."
Arielle scoffed and shook her head, "I dare you to hurt Caroline again." her voice was low and threatning, "I swear, you even ð¡âððð about hurting her, you'll find yourself six feet under."
"I'll be sure to drag you down with me." Klaus watched as she turned away from him and walked out of his home, his mind racing with everything she just said.
Was she right?
Was he a monster?
Did he really bring death to those he cared about?
His mind then went to Henrik. Oh, his poor little brother. If only he was a more responsible, then Henrik would've been alive, he would've never died, none of this would be happening right now.
He then thought about Marcel. His son. He was the reason Marcel had died. He cared about Marcel and Mikael found out and killed him. All whilst he could only stand back and do nothing.
Maybe she was right.
Maybe this night needed to happen so he realized that they would never work. They were too different. She valued family above everything, and so did he, but they had two very different families.
Hers loved her, whilst his hated him.
Her words did have a truth to them.
He did drive everyone away, which is why he was destined to be alone. He knew that. He knew that from the very beginning of his life; that he was meant to be alone no matter what.
He was the only person he could count on his whole life. Why would he, along the way, meet someone he could count on? It's not like he deserved it.
He shook his head and let his thoughts keep running away from his focus.
Arielle walked out of the Mikaelson home with a few tears streaming down her face.
Was he right?
Was she a monster
Did she do unethical things just for Caroline's safety?
Was she wrong to assume that he cared about her?
No, right?
He was the one that called her; almost every night for the past couple of weeks, he'd call. Did she really answer because she knew deep down that they were equal? That they were like each other?
Was it why she was attracted to him in the first place?
Because she saw herself in him?
Which she did.
When Elijah told her about how Klaus was a hybrid, she felt a connection to him; because he was ððððððððð¡.
Just like her
Mikael hated Klaus because of his wolf gene. Those witches hated Arielle because she was a mix of two species.
They were both hated by others because of their parents love for each other. For things that neither of them had a say in. It's not like they chose to be alive.
Arielle thought back on his words
"ð´ ðððððð"
"ððð¢ ððð ðððð ðð, ðð¥ððð¡ðð¦ ðððð ðð"
"ð´ðð ð¦ðð¢ ð¡âððð ð¡âðð¡'ð ð¦ðð¢"
Those words in particular.
Was she a killer?
Was she like him?
Was she wrong to assume he cared?
Sbe hated that she kept thinking about it the whole way home and the whole night. She twisted and turned in her bed. She tried to find answers that would ease her mind, but nothing would.
So she stayed questioning herself all night long...
