CHAPTER ELEVEN:
THE UNDEAD

it's had been a long night for Alex. He had no clue to where Klaus was taken to and Ben hadn't contacted him since they last talked. In conclusion, he had no Klaus by his side so the night was shitty.

He also didn't know where his other siblings were.

He had no clue as to where Diego, Luther and Five were and Allison was somewhere in the house. Vanya didn't live with them so he assumed that she was at her apartment.

As he was thinking of what to do, suddenly Ben appeared out of nowhere making Alex jump.

"Holy shit!" He screamed, "Holy fucking shit!"

Ben, despite the situation, couldn't help but laugh at his brother.

"Your face-"

Alex rolls his eyes but had a small smile on his face, "yeah, ha ha ha. Real funny."

Then he turned serious.

"How's he?"

Ben sobered up, "he's currently in the closet."

Alex got confused, "I thought he came out of it?"

Ben looked at him with wide eyes, "what? No! He's literally locked in a closet."

Now it was Alex turn to widen his eyes, "you know he's claustrophobic, why are you here then?"

"Just wanted to tell you the name of the motel, oh and there might be back up." He said the motels name and left quickly.

"What backup?"

Alex got there as soon as he could, meaning a short time.

He was walking around when he saw a familiar face walking out of the reception room.

"Eudora?"

He knew the detective from when Diego was still dating her and he was still in the academy.
Diego was crazy about her, couldn't stop talking about her to Klaus and Alex would sit with them and tried to help Diego through Klaus. And he was there to see how heartbroken Diego was when they broke up.

Alex made himself visible and walked up to her, "Eudora?"

She turned around and went pale when she saw Alex standing in front of her. She had seen him from the pictures that Diego had with him.

Alex took a step closer, "I don't know if you know-"

"Alex?" She asked uncertainly.

He blinked in surprise.

"Umm, yeah. Woah." He stuttered.

Eudora looked at him suspiciously, "Am I hallucinating?"

"No. I'm actually here. Hi." He said with a wave and rocked on his hills.

"How are you here?"

"Umm, well," his mind went blank. "It's really complicated. Can we go save the person we're here for and then talk about this?"

That made her perk up. "Yes. Yes. We should probably go save him. And then talk about you being dead."

She said and started walking.

"Wait." She stopped. "You're alive!"

Alex sighed. This was going to be a long night.

Klaus was in the room, tied to the chair.

His kidnappers had left him alone to go and discuss something in the bathroom. As he was waiting and thinking, he heard some noises coming from outside.

So naturally, he started to make noises.

After what felt like hours. A familiar woman came inside, followed by his lover.

He brightened And his eyes stayed on Alex as he quietly came into the room and looked around. When he saw Klaus' condition, his bloody face and the look in his eyes, his heart broke.

He gave him a smile and came closer.

The woman, now he recognized to be Diego's ex, came closer and he pointed at the bathroom with his head. Eudora nodded at him.

Klaus expected that Eudora would leave him like that and go to check the bathroom, but then she looked at Alex and then pointed to Klaus.

Alex came closer and started to unbound Klaus.

And Klaus froze.

☰

Alex didn't care that Klaus knew.

He didn't care that all the plans were falling apart.

He didn't care that Klaus might hate him. That he might never want to see him again.

All he cared about was to save Klaus.

So he started to untie, he didn't look up when heard someone coming out of the bathroom and he ignored Klaus' burning gaze.

When he was done untieing him, he looked up. Just in time to see someone coming in.

He only had time to shout a quick "Dora!" before the woman at the door started shooting.

Alex and Klaus laid on the ground, trying to not get shot.

Alex was trying to come up with a way to help Eudora when he felt a strong tug at his sleeve made him look down. Klaus had a strong grip at his sleeve and then started to move towards the vent.

"Come on." He said and continued to pull. Alex looked back at Eudora and then went with Klaus.

Klaus pushed him in and he went first. There was a briefcase in front of him. So he just pushed the briefcase and started to move. Klaus got in and they got away from the motel.

☰

After some crawling and then running, a dressed Alex and a semi-naked Klaus who was grasping the briefcase firmly to his chest and a hand still gripping Alex' sleeve.

They both let out a sigh of relief and then looked At each other.

And then they burst into laughter.

After a moment of laughing, they calmed down but there was still a smile on their faces.

The woman opposite them looked at them strangely, probably because of how they looked.

Klaus loosened his grip on Alex like he was afraid that he was going to vanish and never come back, and then after a moment, he moved his hand away.

Klaus looked at the briefcase curiously. The question of what the hell was going on with Alex forgotten due to the shock.

He went to open the briefcase.

"Klaus! Wait-"

WORDS:1200

WOAH! Planning this took me so long and I'm still not sure what's going to happen. 

lots of you had figured out that Alex was still alive, I kind of made it obvious after the flashback from Five. I hope you all liked the twist.

I've been struggling with what to do. So as I've asked others, I'm going to ask you so I can have an idea as to what to do.

Should I make Alex go with Klaus to the past?

Or

Should I let leave him at the present and have Klaus go back to Vietnam alone?

Oh and like always, wanted to thank you guys for the 20k and the 1k On votes. It means a lot to me.

Okay so don't forget to tell me what you think I should do with Alex.

Love you all!
