A/N: Hii, this was a group idea that Niknakz93 came up with where we all heard the song "Hurt" by Leona Lewis and wrote whatever came to our minds and this is what came to me :D This oneshot might turn into a mini-story or full story depending on if you of course like it :)

Disclaimer: (Sadly) I do not own the Vampire Diaries or any of the characters, because if I did then Klaus would be my personal slave ;)

Enjoy!

Always And Forever

Chapter 1:

Her skin smelled of sunflowers and grass, his of dirt and corn in the summer from when he used to walk in the orchards, just letting his fingers absently brush the waist-high crops that grew behind the home he'd grown up in.

Her eyes were just as green as the grass during the autumn and when he looked at them he felt a strange feeling of serenity – the kind you felt when your life was complete.

He adored those eyes more than he let on to and the first time he'd seen them he had hold his breath for what felt like hours rather than seconds.

Now he closed his own sky-blue ones and a part of him could almost feel her eyes on him, looking at him with the same kind of curiosity she always had.

He ran his fingers through his short dark blonde hair and missed the feeling of running them through her long, dark brown hair just to feel it and know that she was not a mere dream.

The werewolf in him growled furiously as he opened his eyes and found himself lying alone on his king-size bed that was much different from the bed he'd slept in so many centuries ago.

He let his fangs extend and sat up, grabbing the nearest thing – a lamp – and tossing it as hard as he could against the wall.

The lamp smashed into dozens of pieces and left a mark on the wall, but he didn't care. He missed her for every day that went and hated that no matter what he did then they could never go back to living the life they always wanted to have.

The life where they lived together with all of his siblings and didn't have to fear the man he believed for more than two decades was his father.

But would she love what he had become?

Would she want to live with a man who was hated by all – even his own family?

He didn't know and he didn't want to know, because knowing that everything he'd worked so hard to provide them was no longer anything she wanted pained him more than anything he'd ever done in his life.

The, more than 1000 years old hybrid, left his bedroom and walked with slow but determined steps towards the three coffins that contained his two brothers and sister.

He loved his family despite everything he'd put them through, but if he was ever given the choice to trade his family for the coffin that contained the only woman he'd ever loved, then he would gladly do it. She never judged him nor did she betray him once.

"What are you going to do if they wake her up?" He sighed weakly of the sound of Elijah's voice.

"Kill them." he said without hesitation and turned around to face his older brother.

He soon looked away again and went to the nearest window, looking out to the beautiful garden his hybrid minions had built for him.

"Niklaus, once I have all of our siblings back, then do remember that we will never return. You have betrayed us too many times to be forgiven."

Klaus said nothing and kept staring out of the window, watching two birds fly towards the big apple tree and land on one of the lowest branches. He felt an old familiar sting in his heart and wanted to destroy something to distract himself from the pain he felt inside.

Instead of destroying something he closed his eyes once again and imagined himself and her running in the garden, she wearing a beautiful dress that complemented that smooth light brown skin of hers and he wearing something that bared some of the muscular chest she loved to put her ear against just to hear his heartbeat.

Yes, things were much more simple back then.

What he wouldn't give to go back in time and change the fact that he turned into something that was hated by everyone – especially by his own parents.

I miss you, he thought and smiled weakly at the memory of her beautiful smile. Always and forever…

When Klaus opened his eyes and turned around he found himself standing alone in the room, but he didn't care. He preferred it that way- well, at least until she returned of course.

He walked back upstairs and began picking the shattered lamp shards up, cursing when one of them cut a hole in his hand that was deeper than he thought would be. He groaned and watched as the wound healed up, but thought back on the time when she had cut her palm on a stone.

It was the night everything went wrong and he nearly lost her.

"Once I have broken this damn curse I will wake you up…" he'd said as he'd placed her in the coffin.

Blood was seeping through her torn chemise, but she was still awake. She always was a fighter and that was one of the things he loved the most about her.

"No-! Do not leave me, Niklaus! Please… stay with me. For a little longer." she'd said pleadingly.

"I cannot. You will die if I- Do you trust me?"

"Of course I do. I love you."

He'd smiled and planted a kiss on her forehead, brushing a lock of her hair out of her face. "We will meet again soon, Viktoria. I will keep you close to me – always and forever."

That was the last time he saw her after he was cursed and their lives were shattered, but he had a strong feeling that this year he would see her again. He would be reunited with Viktoria and he would give her everything he had and more.

Thanks for reading and please review! ;D
