ophelia.

“You must be Ophelia.” She stepped out of the shadows, smirking at her. The woman had fiery red hair and a British accent.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Who are you?” Ophelia asked the redhead, puzzled at how the woman knew her.

”Oh darling, did the big, bad Klaus not tell you about me? About his greatest lover?” She scoffed, rolling her eyes at the girl. Klaus rarely talked about his life. It was once when he told Ophelia about his vampirism, him being an Original. About the myths and folklore such as werewolves, witches and supernatural beings that lived among the humans. At first, Ophelia was shocked but eventually, she cooled down. Klaus wanted to live with Ophelia for the rest of his life, but he respected her decisions when she told him she didn’t want to live forever.

But no, he never mentioned his previous lover who was standing right in front of her. Not that Ophelia wanted to discuss Klaus’ previous lovers. The woman cleared her throat, obviously getting annoyed at Ophelia.

“My name is Aurora de Martel. It’s a pleasure to meet you, darling. I’ve always wanted to meet Klaus’ lovers.” She smirked at the girl. “But, I’m afraid it won’t last long. Your love, I mean.” She continued, stepping out of the shadows. Ophelia stepped back, still pointing her psionic blade at Aurora.

”What the hell are you talking about?” Ophelia had taken a look at Aurora’s mind and she saw the horrible things she had done. It was terrifying, but it didn’t scare Ophelia easily.

“I’m getting my revenge, darling. I’m going to kill you and deliver your head and your heart to the Mikaelsons.”

Ophelia froze, her eyes widened slightly at Aurora’s remark. She didn’t want to look afraid in front of Klaus’ ex. She wanted to call out to the Avengers outside, anyone really, but she wouldn’t. She wanted Aurora to think that she was alone and vulnerable. She snapped out of her own thoughts as Aurora lunged forward to attack her.

Ophelia blocked her attack and gave her a punch to her stomach. They fought and fought. Aurora pinned her against the wall and choked Ophelia. She was losing her breath, but she gained her strength and used her psionics to give a nasty gash on Aurora’s stomach. Ophelia kicked her, but she failed as Aurora vamp sped to block Ophelia’s attack.

So, they tried to tire each other out. Ophelia wasn’t going to give up on the fight. Aurora was badly injured but her wounds, cuts and bruises were slowly healing, thanks to her vampirism. Ophelia, on the other hand, was healing because of her regenerating factors in her blood.

“Oh, love, you put up a great fight. Now I see why Klaus is head over heels for you.”

“Shut up, Aurora. You’re nothing but a psychopath who lived in a monastery for years. By your brother, might I add. You’re delusional, Aurora.” Ophelia spat. She knew everything about Aurora when she had taken a look at her mind. Aurora stopped and froze, eyes widening at Ophelia’s words.

“H-how did you know?”

“Let’s just say I know you more than you know yourself,” Ophelia smirked, proud of herself when she let Aurora’s guard down, making her even more vulnerable.

“T-That’s impossible.”

Ophelia only replied her with a chuckle. Aurora gave her a very deadly glare as she collected herself. She used all her strength to knock Ophelia down. Aurora just laughed after successfully knocking Ophelia out.

“I’ve had fun with you, Ophelia, but unfortunately, it’s over. Your life is over, darling.” Black veins started to form under her eyes, her fangs grew when her bloodlust joined in her fun. Aurora sunk her fangs into Ophelia’s neck, breaking the seven layers on skin. Aurora was careful enough not to kill Klaus’ love as he would torture Aurora as long as he wants, but knowing her, she drained Ophelia, leaving her pale body on the floor.

Aurora took a knife and left cuts on the unconscious girl’s body. After she took her time with Ophelia, she called Klaus, informing him about Ophelia and told him to meet them at the HYDRA base. Aurora wasn’t HYDRA, but when she found out that Ophelia was going to take them down today, why not take Ophelia down too?

Aurora heard footsteps approaching the two of them. She knew it couldn’t be Klaus as it would take some time for him to get here. She also heard a man’s voice; she couldn’t recognise it. It was foreign to her ears.

“Ophelia? Ophelia? Where are you?”

She hid the unconscious girl’s body in a room, fearing if anyone rather than Klaus found the two of them. So, they hid, in a dark, small room.

“Oh, Ophelia, you didn’t tell me there was going to be company. You should’ve told me, darling.” She took Ophelia’s hair that was in her face and tucked it behind her ear. “You needn’t worry, love, because of that, I’ll make Niklaus suffer.”  She smirked to herself.

When she heard the man in blue, red and white leave, she dragged Ophelia’s lifeless body out of the small room. Her eyes widened at the sight of her ex-lover. She smiled at him, faltering when she saw his face. Klaus was giving Aurora the deadliest glare the world has ever seen.

“Hello, Nik. I can’t believe you’d actually come for her.” She pointed at the lifeless girl.

Klaus looked at Ophelia’s pale and cold body, his eyes softened as he saw the love of his life laying on the floor, lifeless. He quickly snapped Aurora’s neck, leaving her dead. It would take some time for the petite vampire to wake up from her death. He kneeled beside Ophelia, cradling her cold body and he bit his wrist to feed her his blood so she would wake up.

He sat at the same spot for a few minutes, waiting for Ophelia to wake up. He couldn’t bear to see the love of his life dead forever. He couldn’t live if she had died, knowing he could have saved her. He wouldn’t. Ophelia would turn into a vampire if she woke up. When she did, her wounds, cuts, and bruises were healed. She was dead. She was supposed to be dead. What the hell happened to her?

“Klaus? What are you doing here? What the hell happened to me?” Tears streamed down her face as she felt a thirst for blood. Human blood.

“I had to give you my blood. Please stop crying, sweetheart. I love you so much. I can’t bear to see you like this. You died, love. I’m sorry that wretched bitch did this to you. I’m so sorry, Ophelia. I really am.” His hands cupped her face, his thumbs wiped her tears away.

“No, Klaus. This isn’t your fault, she did this to me and she will pay.” She warned Klaus. Then, she realised something. Thor, Nat, Steve, Tony, Bruce and Clint were all waiting for her outside.

“W-wait, what about…” She stood up, trying to run outside to see if they were still there waiting for her to come out, but Klaus had gotten to her first. “Let me go, Klaus, I-I need to see if… if they’re still there.” She continued.

“Love, please, listen to me. The sun will burn you if you step outside. Your team, they had to leave, the man with the eye patch told them to leave. He said you took too long in here. I’m sorry, O.” Klaus hugged the sobbing girl, kissing her head and comforting her.

“Everything will be alright, love. You need to feed, and you need a daylight ring.” He whispered.

“Let’s go get you someone to feed and let’s get you a daylight ring, shall we?”
