A/N Hi, everyone!
I'm sure you know that I'm kinda in love with Klaus, he's my favourite character, and I can't fathom why someone wouldn't love him. I've written or started some stories on him, one with a Salvatore sister actually, but I couldn't help myself from writing this.
If you don't like the idea of this story, please don't leave a review because it's not helpful to the person who spent a long time writing something only for someone to be cruel. I warn you that there will be an OC in this so don't hate after I've warned you.
Anyway, if you want to read after reading the top bit, please continue.
Sleeping With The Enemy
.
.
Talk to me softly, there's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow and please don't cry
I know how you feel inside, I've been there before
Something is changing inside youand don't you know?
Don't you cry tonight, i still love you, baby, don't you cry tonight
Give me a whisper and give me a sigh, give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now and please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinking of you and the times we had, baby
Don't you cry tonight, i still love you, baby, don't you cry tonight

"Sweet dreams, Rebekah."
Klaus swallowed the emotion that was threatening to take over him as he stared down at his beloved sister. He had been excited to wake her to show her their new home he had almost finished getting renovated. But his past sins had caught up with him and he couldn't risk losing her if he took out the dagger.
Klaus tilted his head, finger brushing her cheek before he shut the lid of her coffin, looking over at Mindy.
"Show her to her room, would you, love?"
The hybrid nodded, obeying her sire."Sure."
He watched as she wheeled his sister's coven away.
Klaus perked up as he felt a familiar presence, and he turned to see Stefan standing at the entrance.
"I'm surprised you're still in town."Klaus smiled at his former friend as Stefan made his way into the room."I gave you your freedom, you could have gone anywhere."
"I live here, Klaus."
"Well, if we're playing this game, then..."Klaus said, chuckling as he gestured to himself."I was here first."
"You know, I don't like your hybrid friends. They're everywhere, kind of like fleas. I want them gone."
"Yeah, well I kind of like having them around. You know, I'm hurt. I hoped that when I freed you, we'd pick up where we left off."Klaus stated, a hint of sorrow in his voice as he looked at his former friend."But here you are, guzzling vervain like the rest of them, I'm sure. So much for friendship."
"Friends don't strip friends of their free will."
"Okay, granted, yeah, that was a little extreme, but I get a little moody."Klaus smirked, dimples showing as his hands met behind his back."Just ask my siblings. Speaking of whom, isn't it time you handed them over?"
"Klaus, get your hybrids out of Mystic Falls or I will remove them myself."
"Hmm. You see, if you continue to threaten me, I'm gonna be forced to retaliate."Klaus responded, smile fading and his eyes darkening. He didn't now take well to being threatened."Kill people. And it will get messy again."
"Do whatever you want, I don't really care. Or you know what? Maybe I do. Maybe I care so much, that I'll drop Elijah in the Arctic."
Klaus' eye almost twitched at the threat.
He had his problems with his family, especially with Elijah but nobody hurt them but him.
But he couldn't let that show.
"Well, maybe I'll be willing to lose one brother if it meant killing yours."
"Try me, let's find out."
The two men stared at each-other until Mindy walked in. She observed the two men and stepped closer, ready to fight if Stefan went to lunge at her sire.
"Is everything okay?"
"Everything is fine, Mindy."Klaus sang slightly, an amused grin on his face."Stefan was just leaving after failing to make his point."
Stefan smiled, staying silent for a long moment.
Then, all of a sudden, he grabbed a saw from the work table, flashed over to the hybrid, slicing her head off.
Klaus remained still but his eyes flashed amber and his fists clenched behind his back.
"Well, one down."
Stefan threw the saw back on the table, backing towards the exit.
"You may want to, ah, send the rest of them away before it gets messy, again."
Stefan smirked at Klaus before he turned and left.
Klaus, eyes on the hybrid's headless body, let out a low growl.
He waited for Stefan's car to speed off before he pulled out his phone.
He tapped the screen a few times before he put it to his ear.
"Tyler, my favorite hybrid."Klaus drawled as he began to make his way out of the room."I need you to do something for me."
A Few Months Ago
"Well, look who finally decided to show up to the party."
"Where is she?"
"Elena?"Klaus feigned innocence, looking back at the hospital before turning back to the younger male." Ah, she's making a donation to a greater cause."
Damon stepped forward in order to go to the hospital but Klaus flashed forward, pushing Damon back slightly.
"I'm afraid I can't let you interfere, mate."
Damon's blue eyes darkened angrily.
"You'll have to kill me."
"Oh, I would love to kill you, but I made a pledge to your brother, and unlike him, I keep my word."Klaus drawled, but as he remembered Stefan's disobedience until he had to force it, the hybrid's own blue eyes turned stormy."Although, you
know what, thinking about it now, he probably doesn't care that much anymore."
Damon moved forward again, only to be pinned to a car by Klaus. The Original hybrid smirked down at him as Damon struggled.
"Don't you want to know about your friend Mikael?"
Klaus' smile fell and his voice turned worried as he demanded."What do you know about Mikael?"
"Just that he knows you're here."
Klaus' grip tightened on Damon as he growled.
"You're bluffing."
"Katherine and I found him. Consider it our leverage."
Damon smirked.
But it didn't last long.
The Original moved quickly and skillfully, fingers locking around Damon's throat as he lifted the vampire into the air. Damon choked, breath leaving his lungs and feet hanging helplessly in the air. Klaus smirked, knowing that Damon, compared to his strength, was basically human. The hybrid dug his fingertips against the skin, feeling the bones about to snap beneath his fingers.
"You are no match for me."Klaus snarled as he looked up at Damon."You know that, don't you?"
Damon's choking was his response.
Klaus chuckled, head tilting.
"That's what I like to hear."
Klaus' gaze zeroed in on Damon's panicked eyes as he choked on air he didn't have.
Then, all of a sudden, Damon was gone.
He heard the Salvatore brother tumble away from him, knocked out.
Then Klaus was stumbling backwards as a kick hit him square in the chest.
He growled angrily.
Who dared to oppose him?
"You can have the girl. Kill her, for all I care."The young woman, the female vampire, he could sense, hissed at him."But I don't fancy losing my brother over it...he still owes me poker winnings."
Klaus perked up, eyebrows raising.
"Brother? You're a Salvatore."
"Proudly so."
Klaus hummed, stepping forward."Stefan never told me he had a sister."
She shrugged."He's not one to brag."
Klaus laughed, tilting his head again.
He flashed forward, causing her to back up and straighten as he reached out and grabbed her hand gently.
Gentle.
Not a word she'd heard being used concerning Klaus.
He brought her hand to his lips and pressed a kiss to her knuckles.
"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, love."
Skylar soon forgot all the reasons why she had attacked him.
The female Salvatore shrugged, yanking back her hand."Yeah, well, the feeling isn't mutual."
His smile fell, and his eyes flashed amber as he dropped her hand.
"Sorry to hear that."
Abruptly, he reached out and grabbed her forearms, yanking her close.
Skylar swallowed the squeal that threatened to spill from her lips as he squeezed her forearms and she raised her chin defiantly, determined not to show how intimidated she was.
The Original's lips curved up into a dangerous smirk, eyes flickering over her face and he hummed in approval.
Klaus leant forward, nose brushing hers before he mumbled against her.
"I'd hate to have to hurt you if your brothers make a wrong choice."
Before she could react, he was gone.
Leaving bruises that would soon fade on her skin.
Salvatore Boarding House
"Anyone else getting kinda pissed off with Stefan's 'is he evil or is he not' game?"
Damon chuckled as he poured himself a drink."Kinda harsh, sis."
"He was harsh when he staked me, snapped my neck and threw me in the cellar just for trying to stop him from killing his friends."
"Yeah..."Damon winced as he remembered his sister's anger toward their little brother."That was kinda..."
"Harsh?"
Damon nodded with a small smile."Yep."He chuckled, popping the 'p'.
The two Salvatore siblings, who'd had a long day, sat down on the couch with their glasses.
Skylar turned to her elder brother, asking."You going to the Founders Council Feast?"
"Where Klaus is?"Damon raised his eyebrows, propping his feet upon the table."Hell no!"
"That means yes, doesn't it?"
Damon nodded and Skylar rolled her eyes.
"You're whipped."
Damon almost pouted."I am not."
"It's the same old story. It's happened once and it's happening again."
"It's like some bad reality show."Skylar said, looking over at her brother."Damon...she's not the angel you think she is."
Damon shifted slightly, looking away from his sister.
"You don't know her."
She stared at him before whispering back."You said the same thing about Katherine."
"You've fallen so far."Skylar said without thinking, looking into space."You and Stefan, you were more than brothers. You were best friends and then Katherine happened. Now it's happening all over again."
"You don't understand, Sky."
Skylar suddenly stood, turning around and facing her brother.
"Of course I don't. But not with her. With you! When are you ever going to learn? You are wasting your time on something that doesn't exist, and because you want to desperately to win against Stefan, you are forgetting about your family. Both of you!"
Both of you are forgetting about me!
She kneeled down in front of him, grabbing his hands."Damon, we're family. Blood is thicker than water! When are you and Stefan going to stop this?"
She held onto his hands tight, staring up at him.
"You don't love her, you only want her because you are lost, and you are gripping onto something that you couldn't have when you were human. You want your idea of her and you are still clinging onto her because, deep down, you know that. You just have to learn to accept it because you are only going to become more lost."
"Stefan is lost and you are lost."Skyler's lower lip wobbled as she looked up at her brother."I can't save you both. Please, for the family, stop this!"
Damon stood up suddenly, hands falling from Skylar's.
She, because of the force of it, fell backwards onto her back.
"You don't understand!"Damon yelled at her as he backed away.
He threw his glass into the fire, making her flinch.
"You've never been in love."
Skylar watched as Damon turned and walked away, storming up the staircase.
The brunette's eyes watered with angry tears as she shakily got to her feet. She straightened, wiping away the tear that slipped from her eyes.
Stop it!
Skylar turned around, hugging herself as she faced the fire.
Then, she felt a presence.
She spun around, hoping it to be one of her brothers.
"Oh, it's you."
Tyler smiled softly at her as he made his way down the steps that led into the front room."Family problems?"
She didn't answer but he carried on without pausing for a response."I got a crap load of them."
"Yeah, aren't we kindred spirits?"
She crossed her arms over her chest as she looked at him, irritated."What do you want?"
"I have a message for you."
She frowned, confused.
"What-"
Tyler suddenly flashed forward and, all she saw were his eyes turning amber before he grabbed her by the arms. He wrenched her up against him, one hand moving to cup her mouth to hush her screams.
"It's from Klaus."
Her eyes widened as she felt something sharp scrape her neck before fangs pierced her.
Then, she was drowning in darkness.
