AN: Hello, lovelies. We are back. First a BIG thank you to you all that followed this story. We hope you enjoy this chapter as much as we did writing it.
We do not own TVD. JP does. We own the plot of this story and any new character that did not appear on the show. ;)
ENJOY!
The ongoing dreams were taking a toll on the poor girl. It had nothing to do with the wonderful man who always saved her, albeit for his own benefit. No, it had to do with the frustration she got every time a new question popped up.
Right now she had at least 30 questions on her list and they were expanding. Every time one was answered, new ones appeared.
She was scribbling in her notebook, making a list of all the questions she had, when she heard a voice behind her.
"Mindy, what are you writing?"
Her friend, who according to her dreams was a fairy, was standing behind her and pointing at the list.
"Oh. It's nothing." She scrambled to obscure her notes.
"Clearly it's something, if you are trying to hide it." Her friend scoffed.
"You should be one to talk." Mindy retorted before she realized she said it out loud.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Her friend was clearly annoyed at the accusation.
"Um. Nothing."
"Will you stop with this nothing? I'm not stupid you know.."
"Oh come on, Violet. I said it was nothing. I'm just in a bad mood." Mindy tried to apologize to her friend.
Violet was one of the kind. One moment she was upset, the next one she was ready to jump to new adventures.
"Bad mood? Who are you thinking of? Do I know him? Is he cute?" the young girl's face lit up with anticipation. How she loved digging into her childhood friend's secrets.
"Why does it always have to be about men?"
"Because you just blushed. So it is about a man." The mischievous look on her face made Mindy smile.
"You know V, I was thinking… Do you remember when we were young and we played supernatural beings in your attic?"
Violet scratched her head as she did when she was trying to remember something.
"Yeah, I do. It was really fun now that I think about it."
"Do you remember what roles did we have?" Mindy was holding her breath. Somehow Violet's answer seemed important.
"I think you were a witch and I was a fairy." She jumped to her friend's bed in excitement. "Or was it the other way around? I even remember we had a book of spells."
Mindy was getting nervous by the minute. It was only a coincidence, nothing more. How could it be related to the dreams? When she was young she believed in Santa Claus as well, it didn't mean he was real.
Immediately her mind jumped to Klaus. It conjured in her mind the image of a deadly handsome man, who would not let her find rest neither in her sleep, nor in her wake.
"So he is cute." V's voice penetrated her daydreaming.
"Cute? Who is cute?" The word cute wasn't even close at describing the magnificent creature that haunted her.
"Oh, come on." Violet gave Mindy her 'do not pretend' look.
"Don't give me that look. There is no boy."
I guess I will have to resort to violence. Violet thought.
"Fine. If you don't tell me, I'm going to tickle it out of you." This was a serious threat, which Mindy acknowledged.
"You wouldn't, would you?" Her voice laced with fear. Violet only gave her a look as to say you know I would.
Unfortunately for Mindy, Violet was as impatient as a child on Christmas morning. Therefore she didn't wait for Mindy to decide but launched at her and began to tickle her.
"Fine. Fine. I will tell you. Just stop with the tickling." Mindy surrendered.
"It's not a boy per say." She stopped for a moment to contemplate how to explain this.
"I have been having dreams for a while now. I'm dreaming about the same people but the context is always changing. The thing that stays the same is their roles in my dream. Two of them are trying to kill me and the other one is saving me, albeit for his own gain."
Again Mindy paused her speech to gather her thoughts.
"I know their names." She said.
Violet was having an idea about her friend's dreams but hoped it wasn't what she was thinking. Therefor she asked: "And? What are their names?"
"Damon, Stefan and Klaus." When she said the last name, her cheeks turned red.
It was what Violet feared. The time has come for her to guide her friend to the right path. Judging by her friend's blush, she had to move quickly or things could turn out as they did a thousand years ago or even worse.
*Flashback*
It was a beautiful, sunny morning when Klaus and Caroline went for a walk through the woods. He had promised to show her a place where no girl had ever been before. Even if Caroline doubted his words, a warm feeling spread through her body at the thought of their precious little secret.
They walked close enough to feel each others heart beat. Caroline's cheeks had a rosy color and he couldn't take his eyes off of her flawless face. At some point, he dared to take her hand in his. The contact made her flinch, but she didn't remove her hand.
She loved the feeling of his strong fingers around hers. His eyes were bright blue, just like the sky above the high trees. Thinking of him, she didn't see the roots that protruded from the ground. She lost her footing and would have fallen ungracefully on the ground if he didn't catch her.
The perfect knight, she thought when she found herself in his arms. He helped her to her feet, but then, as if a thought crossed his mind, he didn't let go. Instead, he pushed her gently so that her back was now to a large tree.
They were so close that Caroline forgot how to breathe. Her breasts were inches away from his muscular torso. She did nothing to push him away; she wanted him to kiss her till she forgot her name. By the look of it, he was thinking the same.
His eyes looked so beautiful from that distance, that she kept looking at him mesmerized. Her heart raced like mad. He gently leaned forward and placed butterfly kisses on her delicate neck. If the world ended at that moment, she would die a happy woman.
Her hands traced the contour of his shoulders, spreading fire even through the fine fabric of his shirt. Suddenly, a tingling sensation made her swallow hard.
"Klaus" she managed to whisper.
"Hmm" He didn't stop his marvelous trip over her flawless skin.
"I feel like someone's watching us."
"Don't be silly, love. Only God is watching us and I'm sure he envies me right now."
She blushed at the compliment; the devil knew how to make her blood boil even with mere words. Still, she couldn't shake the feeling of another presence.
"No, Klaus, I'm serious. I think someone must have followed us."
He moved away from her visibly displeased. Whoever it was, they would pay dearly for interrupting them. He checked the area around them, but could not see a living soul.
"Maybe it was a bird or something. Don't fret, love."
Caroline was unsure of what she felt. She didn't see anyone in the woods, but the feeling of an invisible presence, watching them intently, was too intense to be ignored.
"Maybe it was. Let's get back to the village. Please."
He hated that unknown presence for ruining his perfect date with Caroline, but he took her hand in his and led her back to the village.
Hidden from mortal eyes, the young woman looked at the couple with raw envy in her eyes. The girl had sensed her presence. She was sure the spell made her invisible; she was very careful not to step on any dry branches. Yet, the blonde had known she was there.
She assured herself that Klaus had not believed her. When she saw him kiss that cheap commoner, her blood boiled with anger. He was hers; he was supposed to love only her. Those kisses were hers.
A mass of dry leaves swirled around as if a sudden gush of wind blew through the forest. She had to keep her temper under control.
"Soon enough, my love, soon enough."
*End of Flashback*
"Violet!" She heard Mindy scream. The girl had tried to get her friend's attention for a while now.
"Sorry. What did you ask?" Mindy looked at her with suspicion.
"Where did you go?" There could be no coincidence that just after telling her the names of the men who occupy her dreams, Violet went into a catatonic state, lost in another world.
"Nowhere." It wasn't the response Mindy wanted, but how could she expect that her possibly fairy friend will out-straight tell her everything. It was ridiculous. She might not even know anything about her dreams or about being a fairy. There was always the possibility that her imagination was running wild.
"Let's forget about my momentary change of worlds and focus on your dreams. Tell me. Are the boys cute? Who is the cutest?"
And old Violet was back. Sometimes all she ever talked about was boys or who looks the best in one of the series they watched and obsess about.
"Must you always think about the most trivial things."
Violet glared at her comment.
"Judging by the slight blush earlier, YOU, little miss, are no better."
She could not argue with that. "Fine. All three are good looking. Although the man that saves me every time, Klaus, is the most gorgeous man I've ever seen." Mindy said with a dreamy look.
"Mindy, he is not real. There is no point in dwelling on someone who does not exist." It might have been a bit too harsh, but Violet knew the curse would consume her and the past would repeat itself, if this kept going.
"I know, I know. It's just... I can't explain it. Something is pulling me towards him even with the knowledge that he only exists in my dreams."
Oh, how wrong she was. The man did exist but his fate and the fate of his lover lay in her hands. The path she chooses will determine how the future would play out. Only this time Violet will be there to help her choose the right one.
