Drusilla giggles as Klaus kisses down her body. She's been with him for a few days now and it's getting harder and harder to say no to him. With Drusilla having Klaus all to herself she has seen a side of him that she believes not many have seen before. He is so sweet and loving to her and Drusilla knows all Klaus ever wanted was for someone to love him and she does love him even if he's not exactly perfect.
"Klaus, I have to go back today. I've been gone for three days. They're going to worry." She says just before he pulls her into another deep and patient filled kiss.
"You don't want to stay with me?"
"I..." Drusilla sighs and sits up.
"Little wolf?" Klaus questions.
"Klaus-"
"Don't give me the same speech about how bad I am for you. I can't handle it again." He whispers as he kisses her bare shoulder.
"Klaus there are just so many problems with us being mates right now."
"Name them."
"Okay, well the first problem is you kill things without even caring. I hate the idea of killing for more than for self-defense, for food, or to necessity like protecting someone from a bad person. But you don't kill just for those reasons. You kill because you find it fun."
"And you don't." Klaus states. "I haven't killed anyone while I've been with you."
"No, but I know when you're not me that you're probably killing someone. You can't just not do it because I'm there."
"What is your other issues?" Klaus asks, choosing to switch the topic.
"My other main issue is that I still don't know what you'll do now that you know about my spirit element power."
"Drusilla, I promise I will never ask you to use them. Your father made you and it made your wolf weaker. You physically and emotionally become weaker when you kill others. You aren't a killer and I would never make you become one. I would never ask you to use your powers. I won't even ask you to use them to invade another person's aura to see their thoughts, memories, and emotions. I will not ask you to use them at all. I promise."
"Can you swear on a seal for me?"
"You don't trust me?"
"I had so many people I trusted betray me for my powers. Just please do this for me. You have nothing to worry about if you do mean what you're saying."
"Fine, I'll do it, but only because I know I will never break it." Drusilla grabs her charcoal pen from her boot beside the bed and takes Klaus' hand. She begins to draw on the palm of his hand.
"This will stay until the day that you die. As long as you don't break it then you won't be hurt." She says as she whispers over it, causing the charcoal to fade into Klaus' hand. "There."
"Okay, now that we fixed that problem in our bond. Any of others?"
"My friends." Klaus sighs.
"What about them?"
"They sent me here to help them find a way to stop you. Your mate, so obviously I won't be able to do that now, but I'm still the mate of their enemy."
"Drusilla, what are you really worried about?"
"Ever since I've been running from my father I haven't been able to make friends or have relationships. Apart of it was also because I was worried they'd regret me because of my eyes, many people don't like them. I know you don't mind them, but that's the thing, these people I have come to care for. They don't mind them either. These people care about me and not about my past or my eyes. And now that my dad is out of the picture I don't have to worry about losing them. Caroline accepts my eyes and my past and cares about me. Tyler isn't the same werewolf kind as I am, but he understands me and he accepts me. Those two have become my best friends."
"And the others?"
"I haven't gotten to know Matt well, he's human, but he's nice enough. Damon is okay, but I'm not quite that fond of his personality. Stefan, I've only seen the bad side and so far I don't really like it. Alaric has taken care of me ever since he helped me get away from my father, I owe him everything and he's like a father to me now. Bonnie is a witch and witches and druids have different views on magic, so they never get along, so jit's no surprise that Bonnie and I don't get along. Then there's Jermey who I haven't really talked to. I've seen him while staying with Elena, but we haven't said anything really to each other, so I'm indifferent of him."
"What about Elena?" Drusilla sighs.
"I know your thoughts on Elena. She is your blood supplier to your hybrids, but she has been kind enough to let me stay with her-"
"To get rid of me."
"Klaus-"
"If Elena is anything like Katarina then all she cares about is herself. I know she tries to act as if she cares about people, but she is only nice to you because she needs you."
"Klaus, these people accept me-"
"If you don't believe me then go back to them and tell them who your mate is. If they truly care for you then they will accept you being mates with me." Drusilla frowns as Klaus says this. "You know you have to tell them. Keeping it from them will only make it worst."
"I know." Drusilla nods. "Okay, fine, I'll tell them."
"If they don't accept you like you want then you will stay with me." He caressed her cheek. "Because I do accept you and care about you, little wolf. You know that, right, little wolf?" She nods, causing him to kiss her. "Okay, get dressed, we're going back to Mystic Falls."
Drusilla and Klaus pulls up to Elena's house and Drusilla sighs as she looks up at it. "You can always stay with me."
"No, I need to tell them and I need them to know that I'm okay." Klaus nods before kissing her.
"Call me if you need me, little wolf." She nods and kisses him back. He nips her bottom lip as she runs her hand through his curls.
"I'll see you later, Klaus." She promises before getting out of the car. Klaus drives off and she heads into Elena's house. No one's home, just like she thought. She didn't want them to see her getting a ride from Klaus. She wanted to have them meet her here to talk and for her to explain what she needs to. She pulls her phone and calls Caroline. "Hello."
"Oh thank god you're okay. I was so worried about you. I left you like a hundred messages. Stefan says you have been with Klaus. What happened?" Caroline asks, her voice filled with worry.
"Caroline, I'm fine. I'll explain everything I promise, but I want everyone to be there, so can you gather the essentials and come to Elena's house, so that we can talk. I'll explain everything to you."
"Okay, I'll get everyone there within the hour."
"Thank you." She hangs up and begins to make some lunch for herself.
She finishes her sandwich and glass of water just as Caroline and the others walk into the kitchen. "Oh, thank god you're okay." Caroline says again as she pulls Drusilla into her arms.
"I'm okay, Car, promise." Caroline smiles and pulls away before seeing the bite mark on Drusilla's neck.
"Did Klaus bite you?" Caroline asks in shock.
"That doesn't look like a vampire bite." Elena says. "That looks like a werewolf bite." Drusilla can see Tyler's eyes go wide, but she gives him a pleading look to stay quiet. He nods discreetly and Drusilla looks at the others.
"I promise I'll explain everything, just please sit down." Elena, Bonnie, Damon, Caroline, and Tyler are the ones who are here and they all take a seat. Jeremy and Matt aren't ones who are considered essential because they barely know Drusilla. Alaric must be late, but she can just explain it again to him when he gets here.
"What happened?" Bonnie asks with an accusing tone.
"There's no easy way to say it, but... Klaus is my mate and I'm his." Everyone stares at Drusilla in shock and horror.
"What?!" Bonnie asks in shock.
"You're kidding right?" Elena asks.
"Is there any way to reverse it?" Caroline asks.
"What? No, guys, I don't get to chose who is my mate or who I am the mate too. Fate decides. I have no control over this."
"He is our enemy, Drusilla." Elena says. "He killed people. He has turned Stefan into a monster." Drusilla frowns as she looks at Elena.
"I thought you'd understand. Elena, your boyfriend may have been compelled, but that nature was always in him. That's why he never drank human blood. Klaus isn't that bad-" Drusilla is cut off when Elena slaps Drusilla, causing everyone to gasp. Drusilla holds her throbbing cheek in shock as her glasses fall to the ground, the lenses cracking.
"Stefan is not Klaus and he is not a monster. Klaus made him act like that. Klaus is the monster."
"That's enough!" Tyler shouts, causing them all to look at him in shock. "Drusilla didn't choose to have Klaus as a mate." He walks over and pulls Drusilla into his arms. "Werewolves can't choose who they are meant to be with. Drusilla is our friend and we shouldn't judge her for this. We should support her. It's not her fault she is meant to be Klaus. Fate decided it."
"Did you forget that Klaus pretty much killed you?" Caroline asks.
"Look, I understand why all of you are upset, but I never felt better and Drusilla is mated with Klaus whether we like it or not, so we should just be there for him."
"No way." Bonnie says as she shakes her head. "Klaus is a threate and we need to stop him. We can't do that if she is his mate. She's on his side now if she's his mate." Drusilla shakes her head and wraps her arms around Tyler.
"I agree with Bonnie. Klaus has done too much to us to just ignore it and you do have choice Drusilla, you're just choosing to give into fate."
"I have to say Klaus is really a pain in my ass." Damon agrees. All eyes fall on Caroline, who looks between the two groups forming.
"Caroline." Tyler says, but she looks too unsure. Caroline is the one person Drusilla thought as a best friend and she's the one person Drusilla really wants the approval from.
Alaric helped saved Caroline from having to choose as he walks into the kitchen. "What did I miss?" He asks confused as he looks at the angry Elena, Bonnie, and Damon towards the angry Tyler and hurt Drusilla.
"Drusilla's mate is Klaus." Bonnie says coldly. Alaric stares at Drusilla with no emotion on his face.
"Everyone out."
"What? Alaric-"
"Out everyone." Alaric orders, causing everyone to leave the room.
"Alaric-" Drusilla starts, but Alaric cuts her off.
"Klaus, Drusilla? Out of everyone Klaus is your mate?"
"I don't have a choice in the matter." Alaric shakes his head.
"We all have a choice. It's just a matter of being strong enough to make it."
"Alaric, he's my mate and I'm his. Fate already decided and for a werewolf it's permanent."
"After everything I've done for you, this is how you repay me?"
"Alaric..."
"I have never asked you for anything. Now when I ask you to help me get rid of Klaus you instead fall in love with him."
"Get rid of?" Drusilla's eyes widen. "You didn't ask me here just to help find a way to stop him. You asked me here to use my powers to kill him."
"Drusilla-"
"Oh my god." Drusilla steps back in horror. "You used me."
"What? No, Drusilla-"
"You're just like my father, but you went around a different approach to get me to be your weapon. When you found out what I could do you went out of your way to make me care for you. To trust you. You made me feel indebted to you! You planned this since the beginning! You lost your wife to vampires and found a girl who had the power to kill any being with simply her mind! You took advantage of my weakened state! You took advantage of my fear and pain! You tricked me into thinking you cared about me when all you wanted was to use me as your weapon instead!"
"Drusilla-"
"I thought of you as a father! I loved you and cared for you! All this time you were just using me! You never cared about me, only my powers! You! Are! Just! Like! Him!" She screams, causing all the glass around her to shatter.
"Drusilla, no, I love you, I do. You're like a daughter-"
"Don't lie to me. I'm tired of being lied to and betrayed." Her eyes held such anger, such betrayl, and such sadness. "Klaus is twice the man you are. He may be a killer but he never once lied to me and he would never betray me or use me."
"Drusilla, he's a monster-"
"No, Alaric, you are. I am done helping you. I don't owe you anything. You helped me choose a side and that side isn't yours. Don't ever talk to me again." Drusilla grabs her things from the kitchen floor, where she had put it all in case something like this would happen. She hadn't expected this, but it doesn't matter now. "I'm out of here." Drusilla walks out to the foyer where everyone was standing. "Caroline, you're still my best friend and I won't ask you to choose. I understand if you wish to go ahead and stop Klaus, but I won't be helping you."
"I'm sorry." Caroline whispers. Drusilla gives her a hug before pulling away.
"It's okay. I'll call you later." She looks at Tyler and smiles. "Thank you, Tyler, for everything." She hugs him and heads for the door, not even looking at Damon, Elena, or Bonnie. She pulls her phone out and calls Klaus as she heads down the steps.
"Yes, little wolf."
"Come pick me up, please?"
"Of course, little wolf, I'll be there soon."
