The Vampire Diaries

"I would ask why he'll be annoyed at you later but he never really needs a reason," Klaus mused, getting to his feet and jogging to walk alongside his brother.

"He always finds a reason." Kol agreed as he headed to the beach, once he got there he told Klaus to stay where he was as he headed towards Mikael on one of the boats.

Klaus waited where he was silently, watching.

Kol gave Mikael the bag, and somehow a row started, which resulted in Mikael hitting Kol upside the head. To the far right of Klaus, there was also another argument going on. Tatia was stood with her husband who kept trying to apologise for the row earlier. As she kept dismissing his apologies, simply saying he'd just do it again, he was getting angrier that she wouldn't accept.

Klaus let out a deep sigh, and jogged over to Kol and Mikael. Putting himself between their fight to either stop it ort take the blows for his brother, having figured he couldn't really stop what was going on between Tatia and her husband with his father so close by.

Mikael narrowed his eyes at Klaus, and raised his hand as if to hit him, before shaking his head with disgust and turning his back. "Off with the pair of you before I throw you overboard."

"But-" Kol started, and Mikael turned round and almost shouted "Now!" at Kol. He then turned his head sharply as Tatia's husband came onto the boat with his daughter, Mikael turned his back on his sons once again as he waved them off. "I hope you don't think you're taking a child with us."

"Of course not, just showing her around. Don't trust her mother to keep her safe near the water so she's staying with me until we leave."

Kol sighed and dragged Klaus with him off of the boat.

Klaus gave a sigh and followed Kol. Glancing over to Tatia and muttering to his brother, "I'll see you back at the hut," before walking over to her.

Tatia was stood with her arms folded, squinting to keep an eye on her daughter. The red mark on her cheek having almost faded by this point. She turned to notice Klaus just before he got to her and giving him a small smile as he approached.

"You'll be free of him soon, for a month anyway," Klaus told Tatia, having followed her gaze to her husband and daughter. "I say you get a sword to his throat before I get to him first, though,"

"Don't tempt me Nik." Tatia said softly. "He's getting worse." She sighed, "Accusing me of not even being able to keep my own daughter safe. He said he was going to take her on a raid because she'd be safer in battle than with me." She snorted at that. Glancing briefly to look back over at the boat before back to him. "That was brave of you, going to face your father for Kol."

"His self-esteem is low today, he was doing a favour coming heere to give father what he had forgotten. He didn't deserve to be hit for that and I wasn't going to just stand here and watch." Klaus replied with a shrug before sighing at what Tatia said, "If I were naive I'd suggest that me and you run away from here, you get away from your husband and I get away from my father."

"It's a nice thought, it really is." Tatia smiled a little. "And if I could, believe me I would."

"My siblings could come along, your daughter. We could live the life of savages, cave men," Klaus joked with a quiet laugh before turning serious and assuring Tatia, "It'll get better. I'll kill your husband, if that is what you wish, I want to but I know it may cause even more trouble for you."

"I just hope he doesn't come back. He almost didn't last time, got too cocky and got stabbed, nearly died of infection on the way back. Maybe this time someone will finish the job off. If he doesn't come back then I'm a free girl, which means me and you can be together..."

Klaus gave a quiet laugh, "Do you say that to Elijah, too?"

Tatia gave him a pointed look. "Elijah is a good friend. You are more."

"Elijah wishes to be more, he claims it is the opposite way round to the way you are saying it is."

"Well it wasn't him I spent the other night with is it? Or a few nights before that..." She raised her eyebrow at him in question, before looking away sharply and moving away from Klaus as her husband walked up the sand, handing their daughter over to her mother.

"If anything so much as scratches her while I'm gone you'll have hell to pay Tatia." he hissed in warning, before turning his attention to Klaus. "And you stay away from both of them else I'll make sure your father sees to you." he used the same tone with Klaus, narrowing his eyes at him before heading back towards the boats. Once he was on board they set sail a few minutes later, and Tatia exhaled in relief once they were away from the shore.

Trinity: giggled at that kissing his cheek slipping her hand into his at the same time

"Next time he speaks to you like that I'll have his head off with me sword no matter what the consequences would be." Klaus todl Tatia with a roll of the eyes in her husbands direction.

Malvolio smiled.

Trinity: Let's go exploring Mal! Up the road back down behind the falls!

"Don't say that infront of Astrid." Tatia said as she gestures towardss her daughter, who wasn't paying attention anyway.

Klaus just gave a sigh.

"If you want to, then okay." Malvolio replied with a laugh.

Tatia put Astrid in the ground, taking her hand an walking back towards the village, gesturing for Klaus to follow

Klaus followed quietly.
