rest assured, the only reason you are not rotting inside a coffin is because you remain of use to me, little brother.
though now i am curious, what else can you possibly offer that might amuse or please me ﹖

‘you see, i am another kind of monster, i got some wolf, i got some vampire. though i doubt your father witnessed the existence of such creature.’
klaus’ gaze lowered towards the young woman before him. ﹢
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
her eyes widened slowly as the words of the male sank in , and there comes a slow shaking of her head ,
❝ sir , i . . . ❞
the words died in her throat , clearly caught off guard by the sudden insinuation of violence . oceanics study the male before her , before she speaks •
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
‘ah, so you enjoy cultivating a sense of mystery, do you? how fortunate for you, then, because i happen to possess the perfect candidates for whatever demonstration you intend to offer. and afterwards, perhaps i shall grant you a glimpse of my empire.’
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
y’know, i prefer to keep the crowd waitin’ in unease———can’t give out a good show or, in our case, a good 𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒄𝒓𝒆 if we don’t *control the atmosphere.
﹙ glass in hand ready to be filled. ﹚can’t oppose to that.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
‘we could certainly do that, though perhaps it is best not to mention it to your mother. she may very well wish to murder me for it. shall we, my daughter ﹖’
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
the hybrid’s midnight hues traced her delicate features, the resemblance to hayley striking enough to stir an unfamiliar softness within him.
‘ah, well, it appears you have studied my ways rather carefully ﹛﹒﹒﹒﹜’ klaus’ pride flourished shamelessly, displayed through the dangerous simper curving upon his lips. ﹢
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
𝙬𝙖𝙧? ❪ lips split to unveil teeth bared in a grin as sharp as it is amused, reflecting strangely in bright, blue eyes —— nothing akin to the gentle humor that was so characteristically 𝙝𝙤𝙥𝙚. ❫
and here i thought you’d —
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
how impressive. perhaps you ought to write every one of those names upon a sheet of paper, though i suspect it shall take you a month or two.
and i must admit, i am rather flattered by the remarkable level of dedication you have poured into this vengeance of yours. truly, love, i am touched.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
— You presume wrong. What will follow is a 𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 the world has not seen before.
I will invite all of the people you ever wronged and rest assured, I know
E V E R Y. 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒆 . N A M E.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
indeed, you have been freed from the shackles of mortality, congratulations, though i suspect a part of you would rather have me behave like the
savage everyone believes me to be ﹛﹒﹒﹒﹜ wouldn’t you? so do tell me, camille, what has changed?
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀
i’m beyond tired of playing by the rules,
following the book… i’m not some
𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐥𝐞 little human anymore. i’m…
so tired of people treating me like
some porcelain doll.
⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
that is rather amusing. and do you truly believe that parading mikael before me shall make me tremble, little witch ﹖
i have longed to murder the old man for centuries, so by all means ﹛﹒﹒﹒﹜ unleash your dog. once i am finished with him, you shall be next.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀
you know, you keep 𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 up the
wrong tree, klaus. i may not be an
original vampire but i can still kick your
ass. i mean look, i have mikael
at my will.
⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
fair enough, little witch. you are indeed rather fortunate now that cami has returned to new orleans.
she has a peculiar talent for quieting my undying desire to paint my hands red. though i must confess, i miss my artistic spirit.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
the hybrid attempted to conceal his amusement at his sister’s suggestion, though truth be told, he would much rather indulge in mass murder to relax than partake in whatever peculiar pastime she had occupied herself with.
‘oh, indeed, i would far rather endure elijah’s endless lectures regarding this absurd notion of redemption. speaking of our noble brother ﹛﹒﹒﹒﹜ where exactly has he vanished to? i certainly did not see him occupying a coffin.’
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
@ETERNLEGEND Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, the blonde shifted her gaze towards where her brother stood as she eased out of her current pose.
"What does it look like dear brother? I'm taking a moment to breathe and relax. You should try it."
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
i promise i won’t bite, especially not laying you in a coffin. truth be told, i had somewhere else in mind, far more comfortable, and considerably spacious.
though now i am curious, has your willingness to trust me grown stronger, love?
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀⠀
﹙ … ﹚ that’s a dangerous thing to say to someone who’s already trying very hard not to make excuses for you .
alright then , i’ll 𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑣𝑒 you .
⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
well, well, someone has finally admitted to their affections, despite concealing them so splendidly.
though i must confess, love, i always thrive, so do be careful not to tempt me into wanting more.
