Sinful |Klaus Mikaelson||

Bringing Out the Dead

Double update because it's Thanksgiving and I love all of you!

When Klaus was finished with the blonde human he was feeding on, he dropped her to the floor and looked up at Stefan. "Delicious. Aged to perfection," He smirked.

"Well, I guess the only reason you agreed to this evening, Klaus, is to drive a wedge between me and my brother," Stefan sighed.

"Oh no, you're doing that well enough on your own. Because of Elena, you're gonna lose your brother and you'll only have yourself to blame," Klaus replied. Audrey looked at Stefan and gave him a sad look. When Damon and Elijah walked in, Audrey got the feeling that something was wrong.

"What do you say, Klaus? It's time for you to put something on the table. We've made our offer, now you counter," Damon demanded. Klaus smirked and chuckled.

"Okay. I offer Elena's future happiness. You see, what she needs right now is to be rid of you lot. And to fall in love with a human, maybe that nice football player, you know the blonde one?" Klaus suggested.

"Matt Donovan?" Audrey laughed. All eyes turned to her and slowly her laughter died.

"Really?" Damon asked Klaus.

"Yeah, why not? They'll marry, live a long and fruitful life, and pop out a perfect family," Klaus explained happily.

"And continue the Petrova bloodline. Every few hundred years, you'll have a new doppelgänger to drain and never run out of hybrids, right Klaus?" Stefan questioned. Klaus glanced at Audrey before answering him.

"Consider it a small return on my investment in her well-being. See, after you hand me back the coffin, I'll ensure her safety for the rest of her natural life. You know it's what's best for her," Klaus answered. Audrey hated to admit it, but he did have a point. Klaus stood up and walked over to Stefan. "So, what do you say Stefan, hmm? Do we have a deal?" Stefan stepped closer to Klaus.

"What are you doing?" Damon asked angrily. Klaus held his hand out and Stefan took it.

"Nice try, Klaus. But no deal," Stefan replied with a smirk. Klaus frowned and breaks Stefan's arm. He kicked his leg and breaks it as well. He pulled Stefan over to the fireplace and held his hand in it. Audrey is up and out of her chair, watching the whole scene in horror. Damon attempts to go after Klaus but Elijah stops him by pushing him against the wall.

"What are you doing?!" Damon shouted at Klaus. "Stop!"

"Now, bring me my coffin before I burn him alive," Klaus threatened evilly. Damon glanced over at the frightened Audrey and rushed over to her. He brings her into his arms. Klaus holds in the growl he wanted to let out.

"I'll get it, okay?" Damon answered.

"Go with him, brother. You keep him honest. And when you return, I will make good on my promise to you and I will hand over our family," Klaus promised. Damon begins to walk out of the house, still holding Audrey to him, when Klaus stops him. "Audrey stays,"

"What? No!" Damon shouted, holding Audrey closer to him.

"She stays or I burn Stefan right here," Klaus growls, pushing Stefan further into the fire.

"Okay! Okay," Damon yelled. He lets go of his little bird and looks her in the eyes. "I'll come right back, alright?" She nodded but didn't say anything in return. Damon and Elijah left after that and Audrey stared at Klaus as he held Stefan.

"You don't have to do this," She sighed.

"Unfortunately, I do, love," Klaus replied giving her a soft look.
