The King of the Other Side

Shaking his head as if to clear his jumbled thoughts, the hybrid left the room and pulled the door closed behind him. It’d been a long night and he could use some sleep. Or some silence at the very least seeing as the quieted streets and alleyways of New Orleans had failed to offer him sanctuary. Sleepy, unfortunately didn’t find him but standing in front of an easel with a brush in hand offered no solace either. It was when he was standing before a half finished painting, thoughtfully mixing acrylics to form the precise shade of red he desired, when he felt two arms twine around his middle, a voice he only recognized from their very brief encounter last evening calling him ‘big brother’.

                            Normal. Solid. S-t-e-a-d-y.

If it hadn’t been for the sudden shock that washed over him when the man asked about him — as well as Elijah and Rebekah but the hybrid in question wouldn’t have considered it had he not been mentioned.

                                     And the scars. 

            Klaus went from shock to suspicious in less than a second and was preparing to slam this… this… stranger into the nearest cement oven and i-n-t-e-r-r-o-g-a-t-e him, extract whatever scheme he had up his sleeve, and punishhim for such an elaborate disguise. It was unfortunate he knew Henrik was dead. Just as it was unfortunate that the man crumpled to the ground. Without a word, Klaus picked him up and snuck him back into the compound, sitting himself in a chair in the corner of the room —

Once he was placed in a safe and warm spot, he started mumbling in his sleep. "Koool... Go away... Sleep... Tomorrow... Niklaus... No... sleep." Along with his mumbles Henrik moved as if to push someone off the bed but, he himself feel off.

"Kol... You're a jerk..." He grumbled as he whipped away twelve hours of sleep from his eyes,"Being Alive is hard enough without you pushing me around..." Soon the light chocolate brown hues where surveying the area before fixing on the hybrid. "That's Nik?" He looked to his right as if someone was there. "I thought he was like twice my height?"
