Unexpected Love
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Diaries, though, if I did, I sure wouldn't have made them kill Kol..nor do I own any of the characters except for mine.
Chapter One
The sweet taste of her blood running across my tongue and down my throat as I was sucking her life out of her body. Once I was finished, I threw the body aside, wiped my mouth and walked away back through the forest where she led me. Foolish girl, I said to myself. Humans, they're all foolish. I stepped on a stick and it snapped under my weight and I noticed that there wasn't a sound. I perked my ears trying to find some sort of noise and I heard it, faintly.
I changed directions and walked in the direction of the sound. Soon the trees started becoming thinner and thinner and soon I was standing on the edge of the fields full of lilies. I scanned the field, hearing the soft singing of I think was a lullaby, but I couldn't find where the singing was coming from. Suddenly I saw a pale hand reaching towards the sky and I slowly and carefully made my way across, like a predator about to attack their prey. Then I saw her, she was laying in the grass, her white blonde hair glistering in the sun, her eyes were closed as she was now humming. Her diamond shaped face was pale and I could see a dusting of freckles across the bridge of her small nose.
I noticed she stopped humming and I held my breath not wanting her to know I was here. What was I thinking? Me afraid of being found out? Ridiculous, but when she opened her eyes and looked up at me all I could do was stare into her icy blue eyes. I was speechless. Never in my thousand or more so years I've been alive, have I ever been speechless. She slowly got up and looked at me. "I..I didn't hear you coming." she said softly. I shook my head and ran a hand through my brown hair. "That's because you were singing." I retorted. She smiled. "My mother used to sing it to me. A lullaby. Its called the Cradle Song."
I snorted. "Why would you be singing it at this time of day?" I asked. She just shrugged and turned, slowly starting to walk, her fingers brushing against the tall grass and flowers. "Just a habit I guess." she said looking back at me. She looked sad, but I shrugged it off. It was no matter to me. All I wanted from her was to taste her. I could see the pulse in her thin, pale neck and my hunger returned. I licked my lips and moved closer to her. She looked up at me, staring at me, (was that confusion?) her head cocked to one side and all I had to do was compel her and she would be mine.
"Lily? Lily! You need to come home right now." She broke her gaze with me to look in the direction where she was being called. "I'm sorry sir, if you'll excuse me." she said, smiling and started walking leaving me, standing there. I growled. Why couldn't I just compel her and bite her?
