Chapter 8: 𝟏.𝟑

Arielle was sitting in town square, she had cheese fries in her hand but she didn't even feel like eating them.

She was lost in thought until a british voice spoke to her, "Hello, love."

Arielle looked up at the man who had a smirk on his face. He felt familiar to her but she couldn't place why, "Can I help you?" she questioned.

"I've been looking for you." he stated simply.

"Okay, stalker." she muttered, "If you don't tell me who you-" she trailed off before realization hit her, "Klaus Mikaelson."

His smirk grew wider as he sat next to her, "Pleasure to meet you, Arielle."

"What do you want?" she asked tiredly, setting her fries next to her.

"You."

Arielle looked at him in disgust, "Yea, um, me and you-" she said pointing between them, "-never gonna happen."

Klaus let out a small laugh, "Not in that way, love." he said, "I just need to know what your obsession with my brother is."

"You make it sound as if I'm a crazy stalker." she said as she let out a tired sigh, "Either way, I'm not in the mood for another storytime."

"Well I am." he replied.

"Well have fun telling yourself some stories." she snapped getting up.

Before she could even walk away Klaus pulled her back, "Not so fast, little werewitch."

Arielle yanked her hand away, "Touch me again and I'll chop off parts I'm sure you'd want to keep."

Before Klaus could say anything Caroline showed interrupted them, "Hey, Elles, everything okay?" she said looking between the two.

"Yea, I was just telling him to take a hint." she assured her sister still glaring at Klaus.

"I was being perfectly civil." he defended, "You were rude."

Arielle scoffed, "I'm not in the mood for games, Klaus."

Caroline froze, "You're Klaus?" she questioned scared.

"Pleasure to meet you." he said proudly.

"Elles, let's go." Caroline whispered wanting to get away from the man who was threatening to kill her friend.

"Gladly." the two went to walk away but Klaus sped infront of them.

"I wasn't done talking to you." he said towards Arielle.

She gave him a sarcastic smile, "And I am."

"I think it's best we have a chat, your sister can go."

"If she's staying, I'm staying too." Caroline intervened.

"Neither of us are staying." Arielle screeched.

"I think you should, or else I'll kill that history teacher of yours."

Caroline's eyes widened, while Arielle shrugged nonchalantly, "Go ahead, one less history teacher."

"No, Elles, Alaric doesn't deserve to die." she told her sister pleaded knowing she wouldn't care if he lived or died.

Arielle looked at her and sighed, "Fine." she relented.

She turned to the original who had a smug look on his face, "What do you want to know Klaus?"

"Like I asked earlier," he began, "How do you know my brother?"

"Your brother?" Caroline questioned.

"Elijah." Klaus informed her leaving Caroline shocked.

"I met him in New York and he's been looking out for me." Arielle said.

"And I'm sure you're quite close." he pointed out, "You know my last name, and he doesn't just give that out to anyone."

Arielle nodded, "Is that all or you want something else?"

"What else do you know?"

"I know your real curse, you have three siblings daggered and thrown at sea, and you have daddy issues."

Klaus glared at her when she said the last bit, "I'll have-" he began only to be cut off by Caroline.

"Wait, real curse?" she asked confused.

"His real dad was a wolf, he's a hybrid. The original witch placed a curse on him, it binded his wolf side, that's the real curse." Arielle informed her.

"What about the sun and moon curse?"

Klaus opened his mouth to respond but Arielle spoke before him, "It was fake. Him and Elijah made it up, so they'd have two species on the lookout for the doppleganger and moonstone."

Caroline was stunned and didn't know what to say at the new information, "Kudos to you, by the way, I've seen the drawings." she said to the hybrid.

"You know quite a lot about my family, one might say you're part of it already."

Arielle gave him a tight-lipped smile, "Can we go now? Or do you still want stories?"

Klaus gave her an amused smile and shook his head, "Goodnight then." she grabbed Caroline's arm and started walking away from him.

She turned around to face him once again, "Oh, and I know about the ingredients of the spell, and if your psycho hybrid brain is thinking about using my sister, then I suggest you think twice."

"Or what?" he asked amused.

"I'll find a way to kill and I'll make sure it hurts." she threatned before walking away with Caroline.

Klaus watched the girl amused. Anyone who would ever dare to speak to him like what would wind up dead, but something about her intrigued him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the walk back home Caroline had been bombarding Arielle with questions about the originals, which Arielle kept refusing to answer.

"Just tell me Elles." the blonde pleaded as Arielle took out her key to open the door.

"I already told you no, Care." she answered annoyed.

"Why?" she whined.

Arielle turned to face her, "Because it's not my family story to tell." she explained, "I can't just go around exposing Elijah's family history."

"And I am very grateful for that." a familiar voice interrupted their conversation.

Arielle looked behind her sister and saw Elijah standing there looking the same as always, "Lijah." she walked across her sister and ran to hug him and the vampire wasted no time in returing the hug.

Caroline cleared her throat loudly making them pull away, "Care meet Elijah, Lijah meet my sister." she said introducing them.

Caroline waved at him awkwardly and excused herself to leave them alone, once she was gone Arielle spoke up.

"What did they do to you?" she questioned.

"They daggered me." he admitted calmly.

The girl clenched her jaw, "I'm going to kill them." she muttered angrily.

Elijah gave her a small amused smile, "As much as you might want to do that, I suggest you don't."

"Why, exactly?" she asked annoyed.

"Because I have renegotiated my deal with Elena and you will do nothing to jeopardize it."

"But-"

Elijah held up his finger cutting her off, "I mean it." he advised, "My brother is already here and I will go through with the plan I had when I first came into town."

"Okay, but do you-"

"Yes, I do need Elena on my side for the plan to work." he interrupted knowing what she going to say.

Arielle let out an annoyed groan, "Fine!" she said, "Now, I'm gonna go binge watch Marvel."

"Of course you are." the man muttered making her glare at him.

"I hope you get daggered again." she said before turning around and walking into her house.
