Fear and Confusion

Chris's POV
I opened my eyes, feeling a horrible pain in the back of my head. I stared up at the ceiling taking deep breaths. Groaning I tried to sit up but everything hurt.

I couldn't remember anything for a minute. And when I remembered what happened last night, my heart began to beat faster. The date, the girl, the guy, the attack....

I started to panic. Where was Klaus?

I sat up ignoring the incredible pain in my head and threw my legs over the side of the bed, standing up. I stumbled towards the door and pushed it open.

I began to make my way down the long hallway and I was halfway across when someone said my name. I turned my head and saw a guy. Someone I didn't know.

I walked faster until I was running. I reached a staircase and sprinted down them but of course I had to trip and fall at the bottom. I scrambled to my feet hearing the guy in hot pursuit.

"Chris wait!"

I ran down another hallway and sprinted into a room slamming the door shut and locking it. Breathing hard I stepped away from the door, turning to look around the room.

It was dark because the curtains were drawn but there was a window. I rushed over to it pulling the curtains back and I threw the window open. And not a second to soon as the door was forced open and I climbed out of the window.

Landing on my feet, I made a run for it. Running across the huge lawn towards the driveway, I didn't look back. However if I had I would have seen Klaus watching me from the window upstairs.

I ran as fast as I could as far as I could before collapsing on the ground. I lay there gasping for breath and the throbbing in my head has turned into a pounding.

I close my eyes and try to calm my breathing before I had a panic attack. When I calmed down enough, I opened my eyes and saw Klaus standing over me.

I yelped in surprise and scrambled back. "Holy shit! Don't do that!"

Klaus chuckles and gives me a small smile. "Sorry about that." He holds out his hand. I took it. "Why were you running?"

I turn a light shade of pink, looking away from him. "I was scared when I couldn't find you."

Klaus smirks. "Really?"

I turn redder. "I-I uh...yeah." I looked at him frowning. "What happened last night?"

A flicker of anger spread across his face and he said, "We were attacked and you got hurt."

I blink at him and scoffed. "That would explain why my head hurts."

Klaus doesn't say anything. Instead he nods his head in the direction of the manor. "Shall we go back?"

I sigh and seeing that I probably don't have much choice I decide to follow him back towards the manor.

Klaus' POV
I let Chris walk ahead of me so I could watch him from behind and make sure he doesn't make a run for it again. I know he isn't scared of me but he is afraid. I could smell it on him.

Once inside, Elijah walks over to us and Chris steps back out of what seemed to be a reflex. Chris looks at me.

"Oh Chris, this is my brother Elijah." I tell him.

Chris nods and his face turns red with embarrassment. "Sorry for...uh running from you."

I smirked to myself as I watch him fumble around with his words. He was honestly cute when he did so. Chris is looking at me and I knew I was making him nervous.

"Well, Klaus is the one you should be running from. I'm harmless compared to him." Elijah says like an idiot.

Chris looks at me, confusion written all over his face. I raise an eyebrow and realization dawns on his face.

"Oh! Th-that is so--ugh!" Chris exclaims covering his tomato red face with his hands.

I smirked and lead Chris down the hall to the kitchen, where Hayley was making breakfast.

"Hayley would you mind making something for Chris to eat?" I ask her.

She looks up at me frowning before she spotted Chris still covering his face. She nods smiling and I lean in Chris' ear and said,

"I can't wait to get you in bed."

Chris looks horrified and rushes over to Hayley, sitting down beside her. I turn and leave the room, walking out into the hall. Elijah was waiting for me.

"What happened last night can't happen again." I tell him.

Elijah nodded fixing the cuffs on his suit. "You're right. What do you want to do?"

I peek my head in the kitchen and watch as Chris begins laughing at something Hayley has said and I sigh in defeat. I move away from the door glancing at Elijah.

"Kill them all."
