The wind was howling as the rain roared on. The young girl of just seventeen was running through the castle. Her laughs filled the castle as she was having fun. Usual she would have this sort of fun outside with the other brother, but the Lord wanted to play with her today. He didn't want her falling out in the rain so instead he would chase her in the castle. She hoped he would catch her unlike his brother because then the game is more fun.
She lifted her skirt up in her hands so she could run faster through the halls. The tapping off her flats against the stones were a dead give away for him, but he was going to let her keep thinking she could outrun him for a few more minutes.
When she looked behind her she saw his devilish grin which caused her to smile and laugh as she kept running. She picked up the speed a little and turned the corner only to bump into the chest.
"How did you do that my lord?" She asked in her faux English accent.
"I had some tricks up my sleeve love." He smirked in his true English accent and brought his hand under her chin lifting it up so their eyes met. Fire and ice as she would describe it their eyes. "Did you enjoy our game?"
"Yes, Elijah never catches me. He says he never wants the game to end. But it is more fun when you are caught." She said with a smile as she was looking in his eyes.
"Well I promise to keep playing even after I catch you." He smirked before he pressed his lips against hers. The kiss went to soft to passionate to rough before she knew it. But never once did she pull back from her handsome devil of a lord. She was disappointed when he pulled back and she even pouted her lip. "Aw don't pout love. Come on let's go to my chambers where we can continue the kiss and more."
She followed him to his chamber, but first she caught the eye of the older brother and stopped in her tracks.
"What is wrong?" The Lord questioned her, and she just gave her doe eyes that filled with warmth but that was not meant for him. She was trying to play innocent one thing she had learned from her travels.
"I am not ready yet my lord please forgive me." She bowed to him before she ran off to her chambers as he watched her before he looked towards the real reason why she ran off. He let out a growl towards his brother before he retired to his chambers for the night.
...
I followed behind Klaus the witch's place in a mausoleum; he would not let me walk next to him or in front of him for some reason. I really didn't want to be looking at Klaus's backside this entire time we were here. The younger witch approached an older witch in her fifties with black fading to gray hair with wrinkling sink. Her skin was darker than the younger witch, but I could see the family resemblance.
"The last doppelganger and the first hybrid. It must be my lucky day." The older witch spoke in a thick cajun accent. "What are you abominations doing in my place?"
"I need help in the magic department. Will you help us Lenore?" Klaus asked kindly which was completely unlike him.
"Give me one good reason." Lenore replied.
"I will never come back to bother you and your little witch bitch of a daughter." He growled at her; there is the Klaus I know and hate.
"Fine, Ruby leave tell the others I am busy." Lenore shooed her daughter out of mausoleum. "Now tell me why you need my magical help."
"We keep having dreams about each other. We either have a complete different life or she takes the place of her doppelgangers. I can not sleep without dreaming of her. And I don't mind morning wood, I do mind when I get it nearly five times a night." Klaus told her and my eyes nearly popped out their sockets. I knew I've gotten the dreams he had, but I didn't realize until that moment the effect I had on him. The steamy dreams usually left me wanting it to be real. Did I really just admit that? God this is confusing me more than calculus or French.
"Are the dreams the same for the both of you?" Lenore question us.
"Yes the last dream we had was one where I was some sort of a king and she was in love with me." Klaus told Lenore before I could say something.
"Let the doppelganger talk. I rather speak to her than to you." Lenore snapped at Klaus as she began to look through her grimoire. I laughed a little before Klaus growled at me so I kick him in response. "You two act like my husband I used to."
"Please do not say that, I hate him." I finally spoke and rolled my eyes mostly aimed towards Klaus.
I watched Lenore flipping through the spells in her book trying to figure out what was happening with Klaus and I. I looked around the room seeing names of what I am guessing fallen witches on the plots. Herbs were growing up from the ground. Different amulets, charms and other magical items hanged along the stone wall and ceiling. On the desk in front of Lenore laid a stone mixing bowl, a masher, herbs and potions still in the bottle. Her spell book was old and ratty, pages reminded me of the first edition books I had seen before. The cover was a light muddy brown and was falling apart.
My attention was drawn to my pocket at the feeling of my leg vibrating. I went to reach for it but Klaus beat me to it and turned it off for before he shoved it back in my pocket. I can do things myself I wanted to snap at him, I didn't because I didn't want to interrupt Lenore's thinking. So I settled for kicking him in one his shins.
"The doppelgangers usually attract other doppelgangers. But you mister I need to mess with all the doppelgangers, you created a new tale." Lenore laughed out. She sounded like an evil witch before Klaus slammed his fist down at the table.
"What the hell do you mean by a new tale, we aren't fairy tale characters Lenore." He snapped with a growl and his eyes glowed gold for a moment. That was until Lenore flicked her wrist and sent Klaus flying in the wall behind him and I. Klaus stayed on the floor before Lenore was using her magic to stay put. Until I spoke up to stop the fighting.
"Please Lenore tell us what you mean." I asked kindly.
"Since you are asking nicely I will reply. Doppelgangers as you Petrova always tend to gravity towards other doppelgangers like you and the one before you. But Niklaus Mikaelson needed to fuck that all up. So now you doppelgangers are closer to the mighty hybrid. Since he needs your blood at least your human blood. Klaus is destined to mate and love the last doppelganger no matter what she may be. Now that there will be no further doppelgangers, you are the last doppelganger." Lenore broke the new kindly but I was close to fainting after hearing Klaus and I were suppose to be in love. "That is why you keep dreaming of each other because you two need to be together in some way and that is what the dreams are."
"You are fucking with us right?" Klaus exclaimed as he stood up and dusted himself off. "I don't like doppelgangers anymore."
"Because of Tatia or is it because Katerina preferred your brother over you just like Tatia?" Lenore apparently knew all the doppelgangers by name. I could see the name Tatia was really getting to Klaus. Klaus growled at her and his face even changed into his hybrid face. I was worried he was going to attack Lenore though it seemed like Lenore could probably take him. "Calm down wolf. To stop the dreams you two need to actually accept your destiny."
"That is not happening." I snapped before storming out and over to the exit. I flashed into the Quarter before anyone could stop me.
...
I can not believe what I was being told. I don't want to be with Klaus I hate that man. He had killed my aunt, drained me of all my blood, and then his crazy family was terrorizing my family and friends. I refuse to ever mate or love with that man. I don't care if the dreams keep coming, they are better than the actual man himself.
I made it out of Quarter and into the Bayou before Klaus finally caught up with me in his car. I looked over and rolled my eyes and I kept walking.
"Get in the car love. It is a long back to Mystic Falls and we need to chat." Klaus reached over and opened the passenger door as he waited for me to get into the car. I let out a sigh before I got into the car with him. "Good girl." He even patted my hand before I shoved the pen in the cup holder into his chest. "Bloody hell love! You are worse the Rebekah."
"Don't treat me like a child." I growled. "Now what do you want to talk about."
"Well before you stormed off like a child, Lenore told me there are a few way to stop the dreams." Klaus began to tell me as he was driving fast through the roads. "We can actually love each other or have a baby. Both impossible but there is a third to mate."
"No. I would never do that with you so we need to find a fourth option." I said as I rolled my eyes again and looked out my window.
"Stubborn as them all. There is no fourth or fifth option love. We only have three. Take your pick. I want your choice by the end of the week. Actually you have two options, since you aren't in a childbearing position love." God I wanted to stab him all over again.
The ride grew quiet as we left Louisiana so I turned on the radio to my favorite radio station that played the newest music. Klaus seemed to become amused when I started to hum a little before I noticed him looking over at me. Then I turned my head and stared out the window the rest of the drive not wanting to look at Klaus.
...
When Klaus dropped me back off at my house I saw Damon's, Bonnie's and Caroline's car all waiting for me. I felt Klaus grab my hand as I was about to get out of the car which drew my attention back to him.
"Give each option some actual thought love. There a far worse things than loving or shagging me." He told me before I got out of his grip and I got out of the car.
"That is your point of view Klaus" I started to tell him. "Not mine." I closed the passenger door to his car before walking up my walk up. I was yanked into my house back Caroline who had fury in her eyes just like everybody in the room.
Caroline parted her lips about to speak but I held up my hand towards her "No I do not want to get lectured. I got dragged on this trip, I am tired. I just want to shower and go to bed. Leave my house if you do not live here." I finally cracked from the long weirdass day I had.
I stormed up the stairs slamming my bedroom door behind me. After locking my door I locked my bedroom windows and then the door that Jeremy used to get into our Jack and Jill bathroom. I silenced my phone before I took off all my clothes and got into my shower to wash the day off my body.
...
When I was crawling into my bed after putting on a pair of red pajama pants and a thin black cami, I heard rocks being thrown at my window. Typical Stefan. I thought to myself and got out of my bed going to the window. I actually smiled when I saw Klaus standing down below. I sat on my knees on my window seat as I began to open the window. I watched as Klaus jumped onto the long solid tree branch Damon and Stefan.
"As much as I love pissing off your little friends, I hate it when they are hounding at me for why I took you or what happened." Klaus smirked and I laughed nodding my head in a sort of agreement. "May I come in?" I jumped down from my window seat and stepped aside letting him into my room.
I sat down on my bed watching the mighty hybrid locking my window and pulling closed my baby pink sheer curtains. I couldn't help myself but to laugh at the fact. He even chuckle.
"I didn't know you were a pink girl." He pointed out as he sat down on my window seat and looked at me. I shook my head at him and laughed again.
"My mom picked them for me when I did like pink, I just never got rid of them. There was no point." I told him as I was crossing my legs. "So why are you really here Klaus?"
"I wanted to see how you were doing. If your friends attacked me like that I bet it was worse for you. Was it?"
I shook my head before I started to tell him how I ignored my friends' calls and texts. How I didn't let them get one word out when I came through the door. He was impressed how I handled them. We both knew when I was human I would have let them all lectured me until they were blue in the face. Especially Caroline who seemed to be the angriest out of everybody. Alaric and Jeremy had backed off and not came to bother me, but only to see if I was hungry for food or blood.
"You really escaped out of your shell." He grinned at him and I smiled right back him. Who knew I could get along with him?
