His angel ~a Klaus Mikaelson x OC love story~

Sacrifices of the innocent

"What are you waiting for? Go on, have at it." Nik says.

I close my eyes, relaxing against Nik's chest.

"It's not fun to go alone. Join me, Nik! It's the least you can do after sticking a dagger in my heart." Kol says.

"I'm busy." Nik states, combing his fingers through my hair lightly.

"You can bring Ivy." Kol adds.

"Do you want to go, Angel?" Nik asks me gently.

"Sure." I reply.

"Okay. Why not? I didn't have nearly enough to drink last night, what with you trying to murder Rebekah's date." Nik answers Kol.

"Yes, please go, this house has enough men rolling around it in." Rebekah grumbles.

"Just like you, Bekah." Kol retorts.

"Kol!" I scold.

As we were walking out of the room, I hold back a laugh as Rebekah throws her shoe at Kol.

"Good riddance, both of you! Ivy is the only tolerable resident in this house." I hear Rebekah shout as we leave.

"There are no other suspects. It's the obvious conclusion." Alaric's girlfriend, Meredith, says as we enter the bar.

I hold onto Nik's hand as we approach her.

"Oh come on now. Let's not go blaming the new family in town just because you lot have got yourselves a killer at large. Don't mind us. My brother, girlfriend, and I are just here to let off some steam, right Kol?" Nik speaks.

"Right." Kol responds.

A bit later, we had seated ourselves at the bar.

Nik ordered me a soda, while he and Kol drank alcohol.

"I remember her from last night. She looks like a tasty little thing." Kol says, pointing at a familiar blonde.

"Don't even think about it." "Caroline!" I warn before calling Caroline over.

"Hey Ivy." She greets with a smile.

"Join us for a drink?" Kol offers.

"Mmm, I'd rather die of thirst. But thanks." Caroline retorts.

"He still treating you right?" She asks, eyeing the hybrid that was currently holding my hand.

"Perfectly." I answer.

"Good." She smiles.

I can't help but notice the slightly guilty expression that slips onto her face. I don't get to question her about it as she walks away.

"Isn't she stunning?" Kol asks nobody in particular.

"She certainly looks good walking away from you." Nik jokes.

"Hey, I need to talk to her, will you come with me?" I ask Nik, immediately earning a nod.

Nik and I walk outside, seeing Caroline walk away from the grill.

"Caroline. Wait up." I call. She turns around, coming to a stop.

"What's going on?" I ask as soon as we reach her.

"What do you mean? Nothing's going on." She replies, fidgeting a little.

"Caroline...you can tell me." I say.

"The others are gonna kill me!" She whines.

"Why? What are they doing?" Nik asks heatedly.

I gasp, tears filling my eyes as a sharp pain strikes through my chest.
