The Vampire Diaries

"And he isn't sorry, which is why we need to make him sorry." She mumbled quietly.

---

Astrid drove in silence then, pulling over when they got to a near by forest and getting out of the car.

"I'm gonna show him, make him feel everything I felt. All of it."

---

"What're we doing here?"

"That's torture in itself, I think that's a really good idea, Tat." Klaus nodded, "Will you be able to see him again though?" 

---

"Going for a walk, better than sitting in the car and talking." Astrid replied with a small shrug, "We need to figure out a way for you to accept and go by modern morals so you won't end up getting yourself killed before I can convince them to turn you."

Adam sighed deeply.

---

"When the baby is born. I won't risk him or her. But when they're here ill do it."

Klaus just nodded in response to that.

---

Astrid frowned at his sigh.

(( Should we skip until what Tatia suggested? Unless you have more drama ideas you want to play out before then ))

((I was gonna have Adam corner her before then, when she wasn't ready))

(( That's fine with me  Wanna skip till then? ))

((Uh I wasn't too sure how to pan it out lol))

(( Haha ))

((... I have no idea how to do it tbh))

(( Um... Does it the place particulary matter? It could be in the hospital or something - Klaus leaves the room to get the forms to sign Tatia out and then he enters the room? ))

((Sure okay.))

((I have so little motivation to do this coursework and it's in for Tuesday and I hate myself for not doing it but I cba))

A few days later Tatia sat up when Klaus left to sign her out. About to get out of bed when Adam walked into the room and locked the door behind him. "We have unfinished business Tia." He said almost softly as he grabbed her hand to stop her pressing the panic button. "No no, none of that."

"Adam please don't do this, please. I'm -"

"Pregnant? I know. Don't care since it's not my baby. Is Astrid even mine?"

"Of course she is. You idiot." Tatia snapped, whimpering when Adam just shook his head and twisted her wrist to snap it. "Me and Klaus didn't do anything like that until it became apparent I wouldn't have any more children naturally. There's no doubt she's yours."

(( I am so behind on work that needs to be completed otherwise I can't get into Uni but I work better when it's last minute anyway to be honest haha )) 

Klaus was down a few hallways, at one of the smaller desks and talking to a receptionists to get the forms to sign so Tatia could leave. Having no idea that Adam was there. Looking up when Astrid walked to him, "Hi Astrid. Haven't brought your father along have you?"

"No! Adam was coming over to speak to him and try to not hate him so I could come and visit mum, see how she was. Where's her room."

"Down this hallway, left and then right. It's third door on the right. I'll be there soon, once I get these forms."

"What is it you want from me Adam?! I gave you everything! I gave you a daughter, I kept your house I did everything for you! And all you did was use me and hit me and force yourself on me! I was a child!"

"It was normal! That's what was done, it's how things were! Get over it and admit you did wrong! You cheated." Adam hissed as he gripped her arm tightly enough to crack it.

"Yes! It was wrong! Getting with Nik was wrong! But I needed an escape." Tatia hissed through her pain. "I needed him or I would've ended it! He saved me when I nearly died giving birth to your daughter because you refused to see us! He got me help! Your daughter is alive because of him! So yes. I was wrong and I had an affair but i don't regret it and I'd do it again!" She shouted then, not even flinching when Adam slapped her. "You're the reason I did it! It's your own fault! Maybe if you'd treated me right I'd have been faithful, if you'd waited a year before forcing me and I was older and more able to maybe we could have had more children, you could have had your sons! But you didn't! You let your anger get the better of you, what you wanted get the better of you and all that's happened since is the consequence of that!"

Astrid just gave a nod in response to that before heading down the hallways, frowning deeply at all of the yelling and then at what she saw when she entered the room, "Stop! You said you'd try not to act out like this, dad. What're you even doing here?" she asked with a deep frown. "Let go of her."

"Don't blame me for it! You had an affair of your own accord because you wanted to!"

"I wanted to get away from you! I still do! I hate you! You've completely destroyed my life! I can't go out on my own, I don't sleep properly because I dream of you! Nightmares of what you'd do to me! Sometimes when my own husband or children touch me I pull away because it reminds me of what you did to me! You've wrecked my life!" Tatia hissed, trying to pull against him, stopping when something else cracked.

Adam just shook his head at her, grabbing a syringe from the side and stabbing her in the side of the neck with it, emptying the contents into her before extracting her blood with it and storming out.

((I hate my life. So much to do and no time or motivation to do it...))

Astrid frowned deeply and took a step towards her mother, going to see if she was okay before turning and following her father when Klaus shoved her to the side and went to Tatia instead.

Klaus slid his arms around Tatia gently , holding her close and kissing the side of her head gently.

Tatia winced when he jolted her wrist and arms, moving her good arm up to where he'd injected her, trembling violently. After a few seconds she slumped in his arms, the contents of the syringe being a high dose of sedatives.

---

Adam was storming out of the hospital.

Astrid grabbed his arm, "She told you what you needed to ear, dad, I heard her! She told you that she was wrong for cheating on you . You didn't have to hurt her! I wish you didn't act like this! Wish you could just leave it be!"

---

Klaus frowned deeply and lifted Tatia into his arms so he was carrying her, kissing the top of her head with a small sigh.

"I can't help it! I get angry and she blamed me and I act without thinking! I don't realise what I'm doing half the time! If you had this curse you'd realise how hard it is to be in control of your emotions!"

---

Tatias damaged arm began to bruise, finger shaped marks coiling around the skin where there would be breaks and fractures underneath.

"You always done okay keeping your temper somewhat subdued when I was little," Astrid pointed out quietly, "I know you have the control not to hurt her, dad…" After a moment she shook her head, "Why did you even come? I told you that I'd sort it out for you, you just had to be patient."

---

"So much for getting you home," Klaus whispered with a deep sigh.

"I know you'll fail. Klaus is going to kill me and I needed to hear her confession before he did"

---

"What the hell happened in here? A nurse frowned deeply when she walked in."

"I wouldn't of! Is that how little faith you have in me daddy?" Astrid asked, flinching. "He's going to kill you if you go looking for trouble like you just did… you apologised for making mistakes but you make the same ones, can you even see how desperately I want you around? How much I'm trying to make you being around works, get you involved with my own kids so you don't feel like I'm your only family… can't you see how much I'm trying?"

---

"You need better security, that's what happened. Some idiot came in and attacked her, that's what."

"I'm sorry Astrid." Adam sighed, before suddenly turning and punching the wall behind them.

---

The nurse grimaced. "Put her down and I'll check her."

Klaus placed Tatia on the bed after a moment of hesitation.

---

Astrid let out a small sigh and rested her hands on his shoulders gently to try and calm him.
