The O'Connell | Klaus Mikealson

Chapter twenty six

Ava could barely sleep.

Every time she closed her eyes, the darkness would drown her into an oblivion she was far from enjoying.

So when she finally fell into the darkness without gasping awake, Ava convinced herself whilst in her slumber- someone had drugged her.
And when her hearing finally began to hum back to life, her suspicions only heightened.

A low shudder of an engine clicked underneath her, thudding in a continuous rhythm as the vehicle spluttered forward.

Ava groaned as her head throbbed along with the mechanical song threading through the air.

She must be in a car.

Her vision was blurred as her eyelids rapidly blinked to cohere her vision, fast colours darted down what she could only assume as a highway.

"Ah Sleeping Beauty has finally awoken from her 100 year long slumber. Good rest, love?" A British voice softly drifted through the air.

Ava was immediately alerted, her vision finally slotted into place with quickly forming objects and blistering honks from further up the road.

"What's going on?" Ava murmured as she rubbed her eyes once again, the figure lighting up from the road lights pooling through the glass to reveal a smug looking hybrid.

"We're going on a little road trip, love." He answered nonchalantly as they turned off the busy road and onto a narrow path.

"Hold on..."

Ava paused.

"You abducted me?!" She finally screamed her aggravation, her gaze darting around for any more welcoming faces. Camille was nowhere.

"Well, when you put it like that avangaline it does seem quite exciting don't you think." Klaus laughed, the dimples in his cheeks deepening with each intake of breath.

She paused quickly to take in his words. Her eyes hovering over each of his smug aspects, he was enjoying this far too much.
Although, she could tell something was off- something much greater was going on.

His hands groped the steering wheel; only to turn his knuckles white.
His chest would pause for a mere moment as if he had forgotten to breath- deep in thought.
And the way he assessed the road, awaiting someone to come was unsettling.

"No I think you're insane! Where's my sister?" Ava yelled back at the hybridisation of a man, a scowl firmly painted on her face.

"Lie to yourself all you like, love. I know you like the adrenaline." He chuckled, flashing her a fast smirk before gazing back toward the road.

Her fingers carefully slid underneath her phone, ready to press speed dial for her sister- but something held her back.

Maybe she did like the adrenaline after all.

"I would be lying if I said I loved being drugged and chucked in a car to nowhere." She muttered, glaring out toward the scenery that began to fade into the tree line.

The branches danced along with the shallow wind swooping through the air, it was like the sound was a song and each tree couldn't help but move so graciously along. The car began to splutter, dragging Ava from her trance.

"Where are we even going klaus?" She queried as the car jolted forward from the power the man behind the wheel begged for the vehicle to travel at.

The man stayed silent.

"If you're not going to tell me where we are going, Ill just figure it out." Ava continued to bait him into a confession, but the man seemingly just quirked his eyebrow.
