Chapter 37
The fighting and screaming went on and on. I kept on getting worried about the little girl. She's a witch, I know that but being only seven years old can't make you that powerful. Still weak as can be. Sweating more and more as I worried.
Finally all of the fighting and screaming stopped. The winds picked up. Lights flickered on and off. This must be summer I thought. Maybe she is more powerful than I had expected. The chair that was once there was pushed against the wall on the other side of the room.
Just as the wind and everything was stopping I heard two different type of foot steps coming down the stairs. I slowly crawled over to the bars and grabbed them with all the strength I could get. I looked, squinting my eyes as I tried to make the blurriness clear. I seen Klaus and summer. I so desperately wanted to smile. I just couldn't because I was so weak. I need some food, water, energy. I need everything to get back to being healthy.
"Klaus." I say so I can hear his voice so that I know I'm not hallucinating.
"I've got you love. " he said as he tore the bars from the wall with the help of summer. I want to thank her so much for coming to my rescue. I look at her and she smiles at me.
"Thank you. " I tell her and she flicks her wrist making me feel better. Not all the way, just enough so I can see clearly.
"It was the right thing to do. " she says to me. I wonder at this moment where her parents are. I'm trying to figure out if she is safe or not. I can't just leave her here if she is going to be alone. I feel this motherly instinct to take care of her just as she did me today.
Klaus is carrying me bridal style to the car. I had my hands around his neck. I was so happy that he had came to my rescue. I knew he would, just took him alot longer than I thought it would. I looked at him, you can see the fear and worry all across his face. That's the part of his humanity that he tries to hide. I believe I'm the only person he can't hide his true self from.
"What about the girl?" I ask him as he sits me in the passenger side of the car. "Is she going to be alone? "
"Don't worry about her love. " he tells me as he buckles my seatbelt for me.
"Please go and check on her. " I beg him with my barely audible voice.
He gave me a look that said fine. I wanted to laugh hit couldn't. I knew he didn't really care about the child but I needed to make sure she was safe. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't make sure of that.
Then out of nowhere I heard the back door to car open up and I took a glance back there. Summer was climbing into the car as Klaus was getting into the drivers side. I looked at him and gave him a small smile. I was happy that he did the right thing. That's all I ever want him to do. But everyone knows Klaus and he hardly ever does the right thing.
"Thank you. " I tell him before I nod off as he drives us back home.
