While I was busy pondering why there was a ball in the first place. Oh and how I was going to convince a dorky evil brother to come to the house of a man that tried to kill him for a cup of tea, Niklaus walks in looking pale.
" You've got to be kidding me. What trouble did you get yourself into, you look pale ".
" I'm the Alpha love, I'm not exactly alive. So I think pale is normal "
" Enough with the jokes Klaus, I'm serious ".
" So the little witch is worried about me ", he says. His words sound more like a statement than a question.
" Don't flatter yourself. I can't have you dieing on me, you are still of use to me. Plus, I will be the one to kill you. I won't let some useless excuse being the one to take your pathetic life while I'm still alive, now would I ? So you better suck it up and lie down, your wound is still bleeding "
" You say it like I could be killed love ".
" I'll find a way. I always find a way ".
" Well you don't need to worry about me. I'll heal love, give it a few more seconds "
" You see that is the point, you do heal quick, even faster than vampires do, although that's shouldn't surprise me since you are not just a vampire. So this pathetic situation leads to another mystery. If you heal quick, then why do you look so drained of blood. I mean, I doubt the ' Almighty ' Klaus would stand by and let some weakling drain him. Unless. . . "
" Enough with the questions now, I need to get myself rested. It's going to be a tiring day tomorrow "
" And why is that? "
" Firstly, I'm going to invite your father over for a chat. We both have a lot to talk about . . . "
" About what "
" Nothing much, just following due process to ask him for you hand "
" You and I both know you don't care about that, so drop the act and tell me what you actually plan to do "
" You don't need to trouble yourself over minor details . You just need to focus on inviting our little friend over , I'll take care of the rest "
" You haven't even told me what the rest of the plan is Klaus and you expect me to blindy follow you "
" You will do as I say if you want to know the truth "
" How do I even know that I could trust you "
" You may not understand now but we both want the same thing "
" Tell me what you know Klaus and what's you business with my life", she says losing her patience.
" I'll tell you everything love, but when the time is right. I don't know the answer to many questions yet. So, for now you have to trust me, we have to trust each other "
" Yeah right ! I'm tired of the games, if I get even the slightest whit of your plans, I'm going solo. So make sure to leave me clueless for as long as you still need me ", she says and punches him in the gut.
" Omph, now that's no way to treat an invalid. You know a loving wife would probably prepare something warm for her husband ", he says moving closer to her. She stares at him right in the, her anger evident in her eyes.
" Good thing we have no such person here ",she walks away from him bumping slightly into him.
" And before I forget, why are you hosting a ball. I mean what excuse did you give the guests"
" I told them I intend to introduce my wife, since the first one was
practically unyielding. I wonder who's fault that is "
