Few and Far Between (1/1)
Title: Few and Far Between
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Klaus' history throughout season 3
Characters: Klaus, Esther, Mikael
Disclaimers: Not mine, still playing with Klaus cause I can't seem to shake him.
Summary: Klaus can't help but think when it is quiet and he is alone.
A/N: Came up with this when I was finishing my last story (but no connection). It's not much but Klaus keeps throwing plot bunnies at me. :p
Few and Far Between
Klaus sometimes speculates, in moments like these, leaning against his car in the darkness alone, what it would have been like had they not been turned into vampires. He doesn’t think like this often, only when he has a few moments, like when waiting for a pack of werewolves to wake (like when building an army while they wake Mikael).
Would he have married Tatia and had many children, or would she have picked Elijah? He wonders if they would have ever found out about his curse, would he have killed someone to trigger it, showing that he wasn’t Mikael’s?
So many what ifs.
When he thinks back on it now, he wonders if Mikael had suspicions. Klaus could never do anything right. He was too impulsive, too childish, too caring, too small, always too something. Never good enough (unlike his siblings).
Klaus remembers once (he only did it once) when he was no more than nine, sitting beside Elijah and Finn, watching with rapt attention as Mikael whittled a horse out of a chunk of wood for Rebekah. Later they all found bits of wood and were carving away (he was making a sword for Kol since he was the only one without one, Henrick was far too little yet) when Mikael took the wood and knife from him telling him he was doing it wrong, that he was going to cut himself. But he said nothing to Elijah or Finn for doing it the same way.
Always a boy, never a man.
Esther wasn’t much better; he got more love and affection from his siblings. He doesn’t doubt that she loved him (she turned him didn’t she?) but she also put the curse on him, keeping him from being truly whole. He doesn’t remember if he meant to kill her or not, it happened so fast. Her heart in his hands the blood staining her dress.
A werewolf stirs not far from him, catching his attention. Klaus grabs a blood bag and speeds over to the man, not much older than him with similar features. They could be cousins, distant cousins.
Did his real father know (or did Mikael kill him before he knew)? Did Esther know (or was it as much of a surprise for her as it was for Mikael)?
A long buried, long forgotten secret brought to light. A dirty little secret.
He is a dirty (impulsive) little (cowardly) secret (boy).
