"Due to personal reasons....I won't be giving a fuck ever again"


I laugh, leaning on the doorframe to Klaus's office as I munch on popcorn and watch the two bicker. 

I hug Cami goodbye, when she walks away from Klaus and then enter and take a seat as he paces.

"I'm sure one day, Cami will be a great psychologist, especially from the way she analyses it." I say, taking a bunch from the bowl and stuffing it into my mouth. 

"And pray tell how do you know that?" he asks, as he rubs his temple.

"Cause I used to be one" I smirk when this seems to grab his attention.

"And what, now your gonna repeat the same things she said" he grumbles.

"No. What she said may have been true, but it had a lot of grey area. She doesn't know how you were conceived. She doesn't know about the mental and physical abuse you went through. She doesn't know about the sweet, innocent boy you once were. 

She may have scratched the surface but she knows nothing of you. And no, that doesn't mean what you did in your past was right. It mean's that what you did in your past is the reflection of what happened to you.

Every cruel thing you do, was in some way done to you. The way you continue to degrade and demine your siblings is the same as what your father did to you. But underneath the Klaus exterior is Niklaus Mikealson. A hybrid. A warrior. A king. A soon to be father. A painter. A man" I say, and his eyes seem to be glassy as we stare at each other.

I lean closer and peck his forehead before exiting the room, leaving him to his thoughts. 


TIME SKIP


It's not normal for a 100+ vampires to all be moving, trying their best to be discreet, into the quarter. I recognized their motive and found myself walking towards the building. I could hear the sounds of who I assumed to be Klaus getting beaten and hurt in all kinds of ways and that made my blood boil.

So I enjoyed the sudden silence, except for the clapping of my heels against the pavement. Again, big fan of being dramatic, I entered the the Abattoir, my fists clenching at the sight of Klaus being held by chains.

"Eden, what the bloody hell are you doing here" Rebekah asked, nervousness laced in her voice.

"I'm here to help him" at this, Klaus head arose, his eyes flashing to his hybrid ones. Mine did as well, as we began to growl, inhumanely.

I reach down and grab a fallen axe, twirling it my fingers before lunging at the one's near Klaus, Killing the ones on his right side causing him to free himself and use his chains as a weapon.

I spin it and chop of the heads of the vamps who came close, before kicking one and kneeling to kill him.

I throw the axe, it pinning whoever was in it's directing to the wall. Bringing the others closer, I punch and kick, either beheading them or pulling their hearts out.

When multiple came, I clapped my hands and swished them, causing the vamps to be sliced in half.

I move to the next, smirking at Klaus who returns it before jumping and twisting their body downwards.

Every vamp we kill, we get closer to Rebekah and Marcel until finally we hear Marcel yell 'Enough'. My eyes flash normal as my claws disappear and I turn to Klaus who to is panting.

I take in my appearance and laugh at the horrified face I gain from Rebekah who stares at my bloody form.

"Well, well, well. The great Marcel, self-proclaimed king of New Orleans, bowing before me. Before us" Klaus says and I feel my heart swell, but keep on a blank expression.

"There. I hereby pledge my allegiance to you. You have the keys to my kingdom. It's yours." Marcel says as he throws the coin at Klaus' feet.

At this, me and Klaus smile gleefully.

"Finally this whole drama-war thing was getting old." I laugh, but roll my eyes when no one joins.

I then snap my fingers and a glass of lemonade appears.

"Cheers" 


TIME SKIP


I and Klaus were back in the plantation. He had gone upstairs, so while he calmed himself, I instructed the movers who had arrived to help take the stuff from here to the quarter.

The last room was the one Klaus was currently drinking in, so knocking on the door and entering, I sigh when he doesn't turn around. But suddenly a sad, frustrated Rebekah appeared.

"I contemplated a game of eenie-meenie-miney-moe. You betrayed me. My own sister!" Klaus says before speeding to Rebekah and holding her in a chokehold.

"Niklaus, don't you dare!" Elijah says, entering the room

"Perhaps it should be you, brother! Stealing my child away with every fawning moment of tenderness you show to Eden" I narrow my eyes in confusion. What?

"This has nothing to do with Eden" Elijah says

"It has everything to do with her!" Klaus yells. Oh Dad.

"Is that what it is? You are once again worried that you will be left behind? Has history taught you nothing? We don't abandon you, Nik, you drive us away!" Rebekah states and I tense.

"Is that so? What have I done lately, other than cooperate? I bow down to you, brother, to make up for daggering you. For the greater good of our plan to reclaim our home. Looked the other way, sister, while you repeat the same cycle with Marcel.

 Falling again for a man you shouldn't be with, while he controls the empire that we built! That he took! Now, I make no excuses for past sins. But in the one moment when you two could have chosen to stand by me-- to believe in me, to believe my intentions for my own child were pure-- you chose to stand against me, to side with my enemies. It wasn't you. No, it was her." Klaus says, tears streaming down his face as I feel my heart hurt.

"I wanted our home back. Now I have it. So, I'm going to live there. And the two of you... you can stay here together and rot." He says, grabbing Eden's hand and shoving the dagger he held into Elijah's arms before walking away.

"You're coming with me, little witch" he says

"Ok" I say, and give him a sad smile as we enter the car. Our fingers remain laced with the other's ones as we drive to the quarter.

When we arrived, I smiled at the sight. It wasn't a night club in LA but it was a beautiful place.

"This place really is amazing" I complement

"yes well, it is custom that a queen should love her kingdom" Klaus says with a mischievous glint and my eyes widen

"What?"

"Eden, be my queen. You have stood by my side from day one, no matter my siblings. And I believe to have come to terms with the fact that I feel something for you. Something stronger then I can comprehend. Be my queen, fight my side. We can rule together" Klaus says and I chuckle.

"I accept, my king" I say slyly back and capture his lips in a passionate kiss which he returns. He than proceeds to lead me to my room which was right next to his.
