Blood red moon
Prologue
He was brooding again, the monster she had somehow come to love over the last hundred years or so. The girl watched him from the doorway of the bedroom they often shared, as he stared out the window at the gloomy sky. It was fitting for the events that were to take place.
"You've finally built up the nerve to leave me, have you?" He said softly, not once looking in her direction.
She took in a deep breath that she didn't know she had been holding before she finally spoke. "Courage. I finally found the courage."
"My sweet Genevieve, you've always had the courage." He looked over at her, the look of defeat. "There's nothing more I can say to you to make you stay darling?" He asked, knowing the answer would be no.
Genevieve looked at her love, her Klaus and shook her head. It was time. It had been two hundred years of following him around the world, to hit dead end after dead end and then back again. It was always the same thing and she had, had enough of that life. She wanted more and he wanted power. It had become clear that they would always want different things in their lives.
"No. I need a life beyond this one Klaus. Your thirst for power no longer suits me." Klaus looked at her strangely for a moment.
"I didn't know it once had." He smirked.
"It never did."
She stepped further into the bedroom, taking in the smell, the colors, the messy pile of sheets on the bed that they had made the night before and finally all the gloriousness that was Klaus. She would definitely miss him. There was no doubt about that. He had changed her life in such a dramatic way that leaving him, even though it was truly something she had always wanted to do, would be the hardest thing she would ever do.
"I'll miss you terribly Gen." He said still seated at the window. Her heart swelled and suddenly leaving this man wasn't what she wanted to do anymore. Genevieve walked over to Klaus and pulled him up so he was standing. He smiled down at her while placing his hands at her waist. She turned away not able to look at him anymore.
Those amazing blue eyes of his, she knew if she stared into them for too much longer she would lose herself and stay or he would compel her to stay.
Klaus pulled her body into his and pressed his lips on her hers. It was passionate, something most people never got to see from him. But she wasn't most people. "I need you." He whispered in her ear, making her knees buckle.
One last time wouldn't hurt.
