Chapter One: Taking Over Me

I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do...

I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You're taking over me

Have you forgotten all I know
And all we had?
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then

~Evanescence Taking Over Me~

With every day that passed, he watched her. Her honey brown skin, covered with a deep royal blue cloth around her ample breasts and another around her wide hips. Her long black hair is hanging over her shoulder in a thick braid. Hidden in the trees, he watches as she goes about her life. Enamored, he continues to stare at her. Weeks later, she's sent into the forest, a clay vase in one hand and a large bowl in the other. She's only a few feet a way and he turns, slowly, watching as she bends down to fill the painted vase with water. It occurs to him that he could take her now. Steal her away from this small village and keep her for himself. She would be his and no one else would have her. He wouldn't be willing to let another even look at her.

So lost in his thoughts, he doesn't notice as she begins to climb a tree right across from him and pick the fruit from it, placing it into the bowl. She stretches upward and balances herself up on her toes, trying to reach a single fruit when she loses her balance and begins to fall. Without a moment's thought he rushes forward, catching her in his arms. Her eyes are shut closed until she realizes she's not in a painful heap on the ground. Wide amber eyes blink open. She says something he doesn't understand and clutches tightly on his shoulders. She looks scared as he gently sets her on her feet.

She takes a few steps back, eyes darting around her. He swallows. Another step back. He reaches out his hand to lightly grab her elbow. She makes a small sound and goes completely still.

He puts a finger to his lips and gives a small smile as she nods her head. He lets her go and she walks past him, picking up her vase and bowl. He can still smell the fear on her. She leaves the clearing, her footsteps hurried, and she doesn't look back.

That's when people from the village began to disappear. At first, it wasn't noticed. This particular village was in the center of all the surrounding villages. The Queen of the tribe lived in this village. But there was nothing that could be done. No one had seen who had taken them and any time a search was formed, more would disappear.

The leader of the village, a woman who bared a large resemblance to the girl he was so besotted with, had arranged a union between the girl and a young man. Drums were being played, making a slow, soft rhythm as the older woman whispered the words to the two. Watching as she joins their hands together, he growls out a command, and the villagers that had been seemingly missing begin to attack the village.

In a whirlwind of blood and fangs, he sweeps her off her feet and speeds away, ignoring her cries.

She wakes up alone and terrified, the visions of her burning village playing over and over in her eyes. She wraps her arms around herself and cries.

He's saying something she doesn't understand, but it wouldn't matter anyway. All she sees is fangs and blood and black eyes.

She moves deeper into to the shadowed corner of the bed and puts her head on her knees.

"And exactly what do you plan to do with this girl, Niklaus?"

She feels his hand running through her hair and shivers, too afraid to move. What did he want with her?

Was he going to kill her?

Was he going to do to her what he did to her family, friends?

Was he just going to keep her here, trapped like some exotic bird and just stare at her?

"I'm going to make her mine."

She watches as they leave the room, their voices becoming quieter the farther they go. It's hours before someone comes back.

She's not awake when that happens. She shut her eyes earlier, hoping everything that happened wasn't real. The door opens slowly, casting her face in a soft light. Her eyes blink open and she pushes herself up, placing her feet on the cold, wooden floor.

He reaches out to touch her face, she flinched back, that same scent of fear covering her other, more delicate and sweet one. He doesn't like that.

His mouth moves, more sounds she doesn't understand. She wraps her arms around herself again. He reaches to his side and holds something in his fist. Was this it? Was he tired of her not understanding him? Was he here to get rid of her?

He opens his fist and reaches over to her. Gently, he pulls her arm to him and grasps her small hand in his much larger one. He rubs his thumb against her palm, causing a small chill to run through her. He clasps something around her wrist- a bracelet. It's beautiful, a silver band with an emerald gem in it.

Then he says something else, and this time she understands what he says.

"Hello, luv."

"Wha- what is this?" She asks, her voice thick from sleep and yelling. Her accent is heavy, but he is able to understand her words.

He smiles, "Do you like it? I had it made just for you."

Wide eyes stare up at him, "What do you want from me?" He doesn't answer. He reaches up and gently pulls her hair out of her face and over her shoulder.

"What are you called?" He whispers, leaning towards her.

She ignores his question in favor of asking her own,

"What did you do to them?"

He smiles, "I freed you, luv."

"I want to go home."

His hand reaches out to twist a curl of her dark hair around his fingers, "You are home. With me."

She pulls back, her hair snatched from his finger and jumps off the bed. "No, I'm not. This isn't my home and I want to go back!"

He is unmoved.

"You're beautiful," he stands, walking to her. She back away in fear, backing herself into a wall. "And so alive." He leans down, one of his hands going to her waist. His skin was cool to the touch and she tried to back away, only to feel the even colder wall at her back.

His face goes to the side of her neck. Nuzzling into her warm pulse. His hand tightens around her waist as he kisses the soft skin there. She flinches at this. Reaching her hands up to his chest she pushes at him, but he seems immune to any kind of force she exerts.

His kiss trails up her neck and to her lips. At first it's gentle, even if unwanted. But as the time passes it becomes hungry. Soon he's nipping at her plump mouth and growing angry when she refuses him entrance and any type of reciprocation.

"Kiss me."

Her eyes stay tightly closed and she shakes her head. His other hand reaches up to her face, gently caressing her with his knuckles.

"Luv, I want you to kiss me." He whispers in her ear. She refuses, her eyes shut closed.

"Princess," He says, his voice so low it's almost silent. He leans down, licking a cool trail from the top of her breast to her neck. She gasps her eyes opening in shock as he takes her mouth. Her hands grip his as she tries to stop his fervent attack on her lips. He nips, bites and sucks, his tongue experiencing everything her hot mouth has to offer. She tasted sweet and she felt as if she was made for him.

She turns away from him, gasping for air. "Stop! Please just stop." She sobs, her eyes welling with tears again.

He pulls away, leaning to look directly into her eyes, "What's the matter, luv?"

"You've stolen me away from my tribe and my family, my home. You killed off my people and now you pin me against a wall and touch me! I don't even know who you are! I don't care to know either; I just want to go back." She cries out, tears filling up those breathtaking amber eyes of hers'.

"Come." He whispers to her, grabbing her hand and wrapping his arm around her petite waist.

Her body is shaking, tears rolling down her face and her hair ridiculously unkempt. He gently holds her and pulls her to his chest.

"Quiet now, little princess."

He presses his lips to the top of her head.

"I brought you here, because I want you to be mine."
