26. Original Endeavours

Klaus's POV:

I walked out of the run-down farmhouse, dragging Hayley along behind me, by her hair. Tyler just chose to follow. Smart boy.

He scowled and crossed his arms as I slaughtered all of his precious hybrid family, the ones that were in the farmhouse at least. The hybrids running loose around Mystic Falls would have a surprise waiting for them tonight. Without the sire bond they were of no use to me. And I had to get all the rage out.

"Okay okay, I gettit, you're mad." Tyler demanded as he waddled behind me.

I stopped suddenly to stare around at him. "Do you know what has been happening back in Mystic Falls lately mate?"

He shrugged, trying to play his leader role. I just smirked, letting go of the girl's hair.

"Well let me fill you in." I replied. "Hybrids, unsired, roaming everywhere and turning at will. Unfortunately a victim to one of them was Damon Salvatore, who is now probably looking down on you and cursing at your bad planning skills."

Tyler's eyebrows raised, and he turned to glare at Hayley, who just put on that innocent smirk. I chuckled.

"What? Surprised?" I was using this to my advantage. He was now feeling all the effects of Damon's death, and I was determined to make him feel like the bad guy.

But before I could open my mouth to spout out more facts about what he'd missed, there was a swish of air right next to me.

My head turned to see Caroline standing facing the two hybrids, hands on hips and a hurt look on her face. I smirked.

"What the hell. Tyler! I have been calling for you and looking for you around town for days!"

She flips her head to Hayley. "And you've been here with Hayley psycho bitch this whole time?!"

Tyler steps in, trying to explain, before receiving a hard slap across the face, making him frown. I chuckled at his astonishment, making the blonde flick her head around to me.

"And you. What are you doing here?"

I smiled at her cheerily. "Well I was saving Mystic Falls of course. It seems all the unsired hybrids running around and killing, all lead back to here.."

I put emphasis on the word 'killing', because I knew that Caroline was also upset by Damon's death. Her face was a mixture of emotions as she turned back to the Lockwood boy.

"Is this true?"

He looked scared. Running a hand awkwardly through his sweaty hair, he replied. "I guess so."

This was just the last card for Caroline. She made a hurt, and angry huff before zipping out of sight again, and leaving Tyler calling after her in exasperation.

I smirked again, then grabbed a wooden bullet gun I had found inside the building. "Don't worry mate. She won't need to punish you after I'm done with the two of you."

Elijah's POV:

It was great seeing Abby's face after I had removed the blindfold. For a second I thought that she would hate it, but I knew she loved it by the sparkling excitement in her eyes.

After a minute of staring in awe, she turned, grabbed me by the collar, and gave a long, hard kiss. I was slightly surprised, but who was I to object to this.

When she pulled away, she was grinning like a little girl who got told she was getting a life's supply of candy.

"Thankyou." She whispered in my ear, before grabbing me by my hand and dragging me behind her into the bustling crowds.

I had to admit. I never really liked carnivals or circuses. But coming along with her was a lot more fun than I had expected. She was so full of happiness and excitement, and I was pleased to see the happy Abby back again. For awhile all I could remember was wiping away her tears.

When we went into the big top tent to watch the main show, her eyes shined with wonder. The animals were led into the ring, with the ringmaster hustling and bustling them around. And of course, the circus ballerinas. Wearing brightly coloured tutus they danced around everywhere, doing jumps across the lion, and darting around the different animals.

I smiled and put my arm around Abby as she clapped violently at the end. Then was the clown show, which I never liked. I could imagine Kol being one of them, he was such a joker. Suddenly I had the image of our family as the circus.

Kol and his clowns, Rebekah would be the feisty lion. Me, well I guess I would be the acrobat, twisting and turning over and around everyone. I felt like that lately. My family always needed me for something.

And last of all, Klaus as the ringmaster, controlling us all. As always.

I broke out of my trance as Abby shook my arm, pointing out the finale they had just put on, with the ballerinas leaping over all the sparking fireworks. I leaned in closer to her, smiling.

And Abby. She was part of my family now. She would be the most beautiful ballerina the world had ever seen.

Abby's POV:

I was so lucky to have such a kind, caring guy like Elijah. He knew I had been sad about Damon. And this was a brilliant way to cheer me up.

Of course at first he was a little hesitant to the idea of volunteering for the clown shows and going on rides, but that soon changed. Sure enough, two hours later we were still having the time of our lives, and he had decided to calm down for a bit and ride on the Ferris wheel.

We waited in line patiently, not compelling to get to the front like I knew Klaus would've done. Passing over our tickets, we headed up into the bright purple compartment, and settled down, swinging up into the afternoon sun.

As we slowed to a stop for the next person, Elijah turned to me and took my hand in his.

"So. Are you enjoying this?"

He looked sort of afraid I would say no. But I just nodded enthusiastically. "Are you crazy? Of course I am! The clowns kind of scare me though."

He chuckled at this, then stared down into the clowns' tent below. They had gushfuls of makeup on, and always threw sticky water into the crowd. I guess I had been traumatised since when I first saw them.

I laughed along with him. "So how about you? Having fun?

He nodded, smiling kindly at me. I had a feeling he didn't like circus. He just came here to please me.

I laughed. "Sure. Do you think Klaus has the hybrid situation handled?"

He pulled out his phone and scrolled through his texts before leaning over to show me.

' Elijah.

It turns out Tyler and Hayley were unsiring my hybrids this whole time.

Don't worry, I'll make them pay, and the hybrids will all be dead by the end of the night. '

This made me gasp. "Tyler? Tyler was responsible for Damon's death?"

Elijah sighed sadly. "Apparently. And I bet he feels truly sorry. I don't know about that Hayley girl though. She seemed determined."

"I hope Klaus doesn't hurt him too bad, but I want her to suffer. She's splitting up him and Caroline as well."

Elijah put his arms behind his head and leaned back in amusement. "Maybe that's exactly what my brother wanted."

I rolled my eyes. "Probably. I just can't get over the fact that Damon is gone, I have known him for years years."

Elijah kissed me on the forehead. "I know that feeling. Have you asked Bonnie if she can help with anything?"

I sat up and looked into his eyes. "No. But that's a brilliant idea."

I threw my arms around his neck and cuddled into the original as the Ferris wheel slowly turned around and around. The sun was setting purple and orange, and I couldn't help thinking this was the perfect end to a perfect day.

Klaus's POV:

I ripped the hybrids heart out, just as he lunged forward with his claws. They all knew that the bite wouldn't affect me so they were using their talons. Nice try.

After that I stopped and looked around at the forest clearing where all the hybrids had gathered. Around twelve were laying on the ground around me, and my shirt was covered in spatters of blood. I jogged over and quickly washed my hands in the stream before starting the walk home.

All in a good night's work, and this town was safe again. They all ought to be thanking me.
