"Come on. Get up." I unwrapped Klaus' arms from my body, slowly bringing myself up, deciding to ignore the fact that he was drenched in blood, not his blood. I pulled him up with me, noticing the shift in his posture. Klaus slumped his shoulders as I wrapped his left arm around me, his warm breath hitting my face as he chuckled.
"Never thought I would ever say this in my infinite lifetime. But I feel weak."
I let out a laugh, taking a few steps with Klaus alongside me. He grunted when I accidentally jabbed my shoulder into his chest as he tripped onto me. I caught him, he was heavy, but I caught him.
"Gosh, why do you have to be so fucking heavy." I groaned, trying to take a step forward with Klaus' weight literally on my shoulders. Luckily, I succeeded with little trouble.
"Since when did you start uttering profanities, my love?" Klaus asked, amusement thick on his tongue.
I was starting to break a sweat as my breaths came out quicker; I could still feel whatever was left of Klaus' evil floating within me as I tried to physically keep him up at the same time I tried to rid of this poison within me.
Trying to keep Klaus up while getting rid of his evil inside me made me feel weak and tired and drained. I know what Klaus is feeling; I just sucked out the huge part of him that made him who he was. And I had that done to me years ago by Klaus himself, but instead of blaming all of that on Klaus like I had done hours ago, I felt it was all my fault now.
I shouldn't have yelled at Klaus. If I hadn't, his temper tantrum would not have happened.
I set him down gently on the ground, ignoring his stubborn retaliations against me.
I searched his pockets as he rolled in pain on the ground, gripping his head.
I almost felt regret into taking Klaus' monstrous side from him, regret from taking out a huge part of him that made him him.
And I was always told by Morgan that magic always comes at a price. I was afraid of the price of removing a huge part of Klaus.
I pulled out his phone from his pocket, sighing in relief. I shoved the negative thoughts in my head back, unlocking Klaus' phone, finding his contacts and scrolling through to find his name.
I switched my attention to Klaus when his moaning of pain turned to loud and pained groans, pulling his head onto my lap as I called Owen's number.
I cupped Klaus' cheek, which was heating up, running my thumb over his soft skin, feeling slight guilt at the pain I was causing Klaus right now.
I was caught in the moment of staring down at Klaus' that the beep on the other line caused me to jump.
Dammit. That idiot didn't answer.
Klaus' hand was wrapped around my wrist in an instant as he looked up at me, his icy blue orbs almost white.
I choked back a gasp.
"Jade.. It hurts." He said weakly. I felt my heart crack.
"I'm so sorry." I spoke gently, running my hand through his messy hair.
"Stop it. Please." Klaus looked so vulnerable underneath me, his hand releasing my wrist. It was as if I could feel his pain.
I could feel his pain.
I bent my face down to Klaus', kissing him gently on the lips, opening his slowly. And then it happened; it felt as if fire was entering my body as I forced his lips open on mine, feeling the burning energy enter me.
I released my lips from his, feeling my body melt on the inside; it was that same similar feeling when Klaus and I had met weeks ago.
It didn't seem to long, but for me, it was forever ago.
And then that's when if struck me.
I let out a cry of agony as the fire slices at my lungs, my heart, everywhere. Every lick of it felt like a knife ripping open my insides, the pain worsening as time ticked by.
I clamped my eyes shut, pushing Klaus off of me as I screamed into the ground, gripping at my head.
I was lifted off the ground after a few brief seconds, hearing Klaus' cuss under his breath before the air whooshed by me.
And then the fire inside me faded seconds later.
I could tell Klaus could feel the shift in the atmosphere between us for he froze, his ice orbs staring curiously down into mine. He set me down, his hand lingering on my back as I stood there, maintaining my balance.
I'm fine. I was fine.
I felt nothing painful inside me.
"Strange." Klaus spoke.
His hand moved to my side, spinning me around to face him.
"Thank you." He smiled.
But I was distracted by a girl standing behind him, her eyes ablaze with gold.
She didn't make a move forward; but just stood there silently, as she examined my face. She looked around my age, maybe a little younger.
Klaus noticed my stone hard face, turning his own to the sight of the girl.
I switched my attention to Klaus as he sighed, shaking his head.
"What are you doing here?" He spoke to the girl as if she were a child.
"I woke up... I was thirsty. I smelled.." Her eyes still on mine as she raised her hand and pointed at me, "her blood."
Klaus turned his head to glance at me briefly before turning his attention back to the girl.
"She's off limits. Go off and find someone else to feed from, girl." He strictly told her.
"You can't just let her leave." I spoke.
"I can. And I will." Klaus said.
"No, you can't. You do realize that if you just let her go off, she will go killing other people?" I said in disgust.
"So? They're just humans." Klaus shot back.
I rolled my eyes in annoyance; Klaus' multiple personalities annoyed the hell out of me.
The girl looked between us curiously. I was surprised; she was taking this hunger thing quite well.
"I'd rather her feed from me than have her go off feeding from some innocent person." I stepped forward toward the girl, only to have Klaus stop me with his arm.
"No." Klaus stated simply.
I slapped his arm away, obviously catching him by surprise.
"Stop trying to control me." I snapped.
He rose his eyebrow, an amused smile on his face.
"You're quite cute when you're angry."
"Now's not the time to be joking around." I rolled my eyes at him, approaching the girl. He grabbed my wrist, pulling me back, hard, causing me to let out a surprised shout.
He pulled me back harder, way harder than I expected, to the point where I flew back and collided with the ground, my head throbbing as it made contact with the ground.
I gripped my head as I tried to sit up, squinting at Klaus as my sight was blurred.
"Klaus, what the hell is your-" I froze as my vision cleared up, seeing the head of the girl in his hand, his back to me. Her head without her body.
Blood was spilling steadily from her neck.
i flipped my body around, throwing myself forward as I felt all the contents that were in my stomach come pouring out of my mouth.
i turned my body back around, trying to rid myself of the sight I had seen before me. i didn't even dare question klaus right now, or approach him, because even not looking at him, i could tell he was furious.
Achingly pushing myself up in a sitting position, I kept my eyes shut, letting our a deep breath. I opened an eye slightly, only to see Klaus in the same position as he was a minute ago.
I stood up, turned myself around, and walked the opposite direction we came from.
Why klaus ripped that poor girl's head off, i had no idea. But I was too tired now to scream at him, to hate him, let alone, avoid him. Because he was a stubborn child, it was nearly impossible to get away from him.

Klaus
How long would I be able to stand this stubborn woman? She is nearly impossible to reason with, let alone have a decent conversation with that does not last even a few minutes. And what's worse, she won't listen to me. That damn child.
So I had to use force since that child found it impossible to listen to me.
I threw her behind me just as the newborn hybrid lunged at her. Jade was kind enough, willing to sacrifice her blood for others. But I would not allow it.
And what angered me more than Jade at that moment was this newborn's thoughts. It made my blood boil.
So the second I threw Jade behind me, I grabbed the girl's neck, throwing her on the ground back first.
I could hear Jade's heart picking up as I heard her collision with the tree, but I was too distracted by this annoying newborn.
I dug the heel of my foot onto her throat, making the girl choke back a scream. And then with my other hand, I gripped her skull, crushing it under my grip. Once I got a secure grip, I twisted her head to the side, letting out a satisfying crack of her bones.
And then I detached her head from her body.
