Endgame ? Sweet but Psycho

12. i won't let you be alone

Poppy clenched her jaw. "Tell me, Dad, would you even attempt to fight an entire dimension filled with generations of witches? Because I've tried, and just in case you forgot, they screwed up my psyche! That's what happens when you're lower on the food chain, and you rebel." She finished her moonshine. "But you wouldn't even begin to understand." She stood up and began to leave, but Klaus vamped in front of her. 

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked. 

Poppy narrowed her eyes. "To find a car. I'm taking my daughter, and I'm taking my husband back to New Orleans." 

"But it's not safe."

"For you! It's not safe for you!" She exclaimed, getting angry. 

Klaus huffed. "In case you forgot, Poppy, you're a part of the prophecy too." 

"Screw the prophecy. I can't die until Stefan dies!" 

"And what's to say he won't die today?" 

"He won't because it looks like he's going to die because of me!" She raised her voice, and her father fell silent. "You don't want me to leave you? Fine. You want us to disappear? Fine. I'll be a wolf until you guys decide you're done here. The bad news train is coming so I take it it's going to be a while." Poppy pushed past him and began to leave the bar again. 

"You know what? Go back to New Orleans." Klaus huffed. "See if I care." 

"Fine." She said, slamming the bar door behind her. 

Silas sighed, picking up Melody's car seat. "Keep pushing her away, Klaus. See how long she cares." He said before leaving.

With a scowl, Klaus sat down in his seat. "Why is she acting this way to me?"

Hayley sighed. "Weird. It's almost like you're making this all about you again." She took a sip of her drink. "You guys have been jabbing at each other in the worst ways for days now. Clearly it's not making her happy. You need sit down and talk to her."

"Hayles?" Hollis approached them, seeming concerned and nervous. "If you're trying to be discreet... Start by turning down the volume on the lover's spat.

"Is everything okay?"

"Someone tried to rob the Gas 'n' Save down by the highway. Kayla was there. I heard it went back for the bad guy."

"Kayla McInnis?"

"Her first."

New Orleans, Louisiana 

The Mikaelson Compound 

"This is bullshit." Poppy gritted her teeth as she walked into the courtyard of the compound. Silas and Melody were out going baby shopping, giving Poppy some time to cool down. She threw her bag up to the floor her room was on, then grabbed a chair and threw it into the wall. 

"Vulgar language will not be accepted in this home." Elijah spoke, dodging another chair as he walked in. "What're you doing here? Is everything okay?" He asked his niece. 

Poppy glared at him. "No, he's such a jerk!" She exclaimed, speeding to the chair in a blur and slamming it to the ground, shattering it. She picked up a piece and threw it into the stone wall. "He makes me so angry!" She sped to the couch and began to lift it off the ground. 

Elijah brough his fingers to the bridge of his nose. "Please leave the couch alone, and we can talk this through." 

Poppy threw the couch to the other side of the courtyard, taking deep breaths. Her eyes were transformed, and she bared her werewolf teeth. "I'm so angry."
