POV Niklaus
" Niklaus Wait ", I hear her say and for some reason I feel obliged to do as she commands. Few minutes ago as she spoke about what had happen to her on the mainland. All I could think of is how to painfully rid this world of the man named Kristan Dominion. I already have a million ideas but none of them seems slow or painful enough, not even tearing him apart limb by limb and then bandaging his wounds so he doesn't bleed and die fast.
I turn and see her walking slowly towards me and right now all my senses betray me. I feel so submissive, like something would go terribly wrong if I do anything otherwise from what she'll instuct me to do.
" Hey " I feel her soft palm on my face as she tilts my head to look her in the eye. I have no idea what she wants, but my inner wolf tells me to comply and I am shocked at how submissive I could get.
" You don't have to kill anyone for me okay ? Look, I'm perfectly fine and I'm here . . . with you " she says, her voice sounding husky and the sound alone makes me feel like my only option is to devour but still I remain patient.
I try to avoid eye contact but she makes waste of my efforts as she brings me back so I could look her in the eye.
" What do you want ", I manage to mutter something but I don't sound like me, even my own voice creeps me out - it's way too gentle.
I look her in the eye searching for an answer - what does she want ? Why the sudden change in behavior. I try to steady my thoughts but she suddenly leans in and gives me a kiss. I stare at her, finally pinpointing where this is headed. This time I take the initiative, our kiss is getting fiercer by the second.
I pull her closer to me, trying to make use of every second that passes.
" Your . . . ", I hear the voice of a guard at the door and without putting much thought to it,I snap his neck off, leaving him for dead. How could a mere guard see me vulnerable and still expect to live. I turn to Elisa, but I avoid looking her in the eye.
" Why did you do that to him ?" she asks me looking totally frightened. I see tears well up in her eyes and it makes me want to tell her that all the palace guards are criminals that have gotten the death sentence so it doesn't matter when I decide to give the kill.
" Answer me ", she yells and it makes me realize that an explanation won't make a difference. She would still see me as a monster that deserves death like everyone else.
" He deserved it , so you don't have to pity him ", she parts her lips to say something but she doesn't. I call Vatler in immediately to clean up the mess as usual, as she lays on the bed looking the other way, definitely going to have a hard time sleeping.
I want to explain to her but she's weak and I refuse to let her make me weak. I walk out of the room to the dungeon to vent my anger on a few more lives but on getting there, I don't feel like it anymore - she's finally making me weak. I feel my anger surge through my veins so I go for an ice bath in my private room to cool of. Right now feels really helpless, I can't kill and can't sleep. I finally decide to lay in bed and let nature do it's worse. I lay in bed deep in thought for a while until I feel my eyes close.

A little boy looking all beat up and in tears. He looks dejected and in pain. A young woman walks in and crouches in front of the little boy. He sees her shadow and looks up at her. She places a pendant in his hand.
" Klaus, my boy. Take this, always keep it on you. It'd make you stronger and it'd protect you "
" Really?" The little boy says, he's once teary eyes glistering with hope.
" Yes. Mummy says so and your mother is the strongest witch in the world ", she says with a warm smile.
" Yes, mom's the strongest ", he smiles as she puts the pendant around him.
" You are my brave little boy, never for. . . . ",

Gasp !
Niklaus wakes up, gasping for air. His body covered in cold sweat.
" That witch ! " I curse in anger as I get up from the bed and start wrecking everything in sight to let all the anger out.
Vatler walks in shortly
" Your Highness, the nightma . . . "
" Yes they're back again Vatler and it needs to stop. DO. YOU. HEAR. ME !" , I roar in anger unable to control my emotions.
" Yes, Your Highness " he says still wearing a calm expression.
" I don't want to hear word of this from anyone. I'll figure the trigger out myself. Lastly, get me another bag of ice "
" Understood ",he says and leaves.
I pour myself a glass of water from the jug the usually sits on the drawer by the bedside and take a few gulps until the glass of water vanishes down my throat . Vatler walks in few minutes later an pours in a bag of ice into the bathtub. I go into the bathroom, trying my best to seal of any emotion that was forthcoming, looking so different from the man who woke up terrified from a nightmare of his - " loving mother " ?
I get out of the bath half an hour later and walk into the bedroom like nothing happened. I quickly have a change of clothes and decide to head to my studio since I definitely won't be getting any sleep. But it didn't stop me from thinking, could Elisa be the trigger ? I mean her mom is some kind of ancestral witch and they're all b***. But now's not the time to think about the little witch and her bloodline, it's time for me to vent my anger on these paintbrushes.
I begin to relieve my stress in the canvass, not knowing exactly what l intend to paint but the end result is . . . Damn !
