Reunion

It was late on a stormy autumn night. She was alone in the large mansion that was her new home. Klaus had taken both Kol and Finn off to Las Vegas for the weekend, Rebekah was probably in the bed of one of the Salvatores, and Elijah, well whoever truly knew what he was up to or where he was. She walked out of the sitting room towards the foyer turning off the last of the lights enveloping everything around her in black darkness. That was when she first heard the noise, spinning on her heel at the direction of the sound.

Nothing.

There was noise again and this time when she spun back around he was standing there, directly in front of her. Time seemed to stand still as her breath caught in her throat; she was afraid to move for fear that he would not be real, was sure that the deafening sound of her heart beat would shatter the illusion. And with one word he dispelled all she thought to be true. He showed her that all she had known to be true was the real illusion.

"Esther"

The sun had just begun peeking through her bedroom curtains playing across the hair splayed on the soft pillow as she started to stir. She smiled sleepily to herself while her head was still in a dizzying fog from the night before. Still half asleep she gently rolled over reaching for him. When her hand softly collided with the cool empty spot on the bed next her she was not surprised at the coolness but by the emptiness she found. Grasping the sheets to her bare chest she sat up quickly clearing her head of the fog. Her slightly blurred vision cleared as she blinked rapidly a few times looking around the semi dark room for what she was hoping to find.

Nothing.

She stares at the tiny specks of dust floating through the single ray of sun coming in the room. Was it all a dream, an illusion that she created to easy her own pain? It felt as if all of the breath had been ripped from her lungs. Fighting back tears she slowly slid her left hand up her throat wrapping it around to the side of her neck, she found the proof she hoped for. Slowly she let air seep back into her lungs letting a single tear slip down her cheek as a smile spread across her lips. She lightly fingered the two tender puncture wounds. It was real, no illusion or conjured fantasy. She was the only human he would bit and he was the only vampire she would let bit her. She softly whispered his name to herself just to reinforce the truth.
