KLAUS HARGREEVES
Number One. "A nuisance."
Number Two. "Annoying."
Number Three. "Never shuts up."
Number Five. "-"
Number Six. "
I think he needs help. Weird."Number Seven. "Ignorant."
The whispers carried on through the walls. The snarky, behind-the-back remarks being cutting edge. They slowly drove him insane. He knew he wasn't the most pleasant sibling to be around, but that didn't take away the pain of hearing it coming out of the mouths of your brothers and sisters. "They're right." The ghosts whispered, over and over again. "Shut up!" He yelled back, but the only change it brought was the yelling of his siblings. they hate me they hate me they hate me.
His fingers grabbed the lamp on the bedside table. The cold of the porcelain soothing his skin, as if his hands were badly burned, filled with painful blisters. In a single, swift movement he threw the lamp against the window. Glass shatered, the pieces scattered all over the floor. "What was that?" Allison yelled, a hint of worry in her voice. fake fake fake. they dont care they dont care they dont care.
The glass shattered more underneath his sneaker. It reminded him painfully of the cracking of bones. Footsteps approached. He knew it was Allison, she was always the one who liked to play pretend. Always acted like she cared about him. pretend pretend pretend. "Klaus?" She asked, her voice bounced around in his head. He could hear the worry in there, but he presumed it was all an act.
"GO AWAY!" He yelled, his voice shrill and frail. "Klaus?" She repeated, softer this time, even more fake pretend worry pushed in there. "I said, GO AWAY!" He repeated, this time with more force. Everything around him seemed to scatter. Books flew off their shelves, all of the useless stuff he liked to collect hitting the floor in a collective manner. More glass broke. More shards everywhere. It was a surprise the house still stood. "Klaus, I'm worried." She said, Klaus stretched his hand out, the door flew off it's hinches, revealing Allison on one side, Klaus on the other. In a way, he has always been on the other side. Never included, never loved. Always on the side lines, watching. But not anymore. It was time that he finally took the matters into his own hands. His one hand was still stretched out, and somehow it wrapped around Allison's throat, slowly suffocating her. "Klaus." She choked out, the worry completely gone, replaced by shock, fear, and disgust. More doors opened. More footsteps followed, all came to behold the act that was taking place.
"Let her go!" Luther yelled, but with a simple flick of his wrist even Luther managed to get trapped in a hold that was impossible to break free from. "Klaus, let them go." Diego said, soft and calmly. Klaus shot a look at his brother, his left eye twitching a little. With another slight movement of his hand he dropped Number One and Three, making them both fly several inches. "Klaus." Number Two begged. Klaus simply grinned, he bowed, observing the chaos he had created. One arm stretched out, one arm clutching his stomach. Number Six and Seven stood nailed on the floor, not even daring to move an inch. Maybe it was out of fear, maybe it was because Klaus' telekinesis held them down, mabye it was both. The glass shined underneath the moonlight that managed to drip inside, reflecting bits and pieces that caught his eye. The full moon marked the beginning of something new. Klaus got up, releasing the deadly grip upon his siblings. Without another word, he levitated out of the window. The remaining conscious siblings simply stared, watching Number Four disappear into the night. Only to be never seen again.
