Here is the second chapter! I know it's short, but I did warn you in the author's note at the beginning. I hope you enjoy this!
Please remember to review at the end! :)
The sun poured down from the sky on the day light was discovered.
Caroline Forbes, the Goddess of Spring and keeper of the light, smiled as she knelt in the garden, getting rid of the suffocating weeds from her flowers. As she weeded, she hummed. It was no tune in particular, but a joyful melodic tune that drifted to a shadow clad figure.
Klaus watched from a safe distance as the young goddess tended her flowers. His blue azure eyes narrowed as he took in her beauty. Her blonde hair shown in the sun with sparkling results, her skin was a radiate ivory, as though she was hardly touched by the sun she so cherished. His hand grasped the tree he was standing by, as he felt his heart beat faster as he watched her.
Why? What was happening to him? His heart hadn't beaten this furiously in millennia or more. Why was it happening now? He didn't know, and he didn't care. All he knew was he wanted her. He had to have her.
She was like a breath of fresh air to his stale air. She continued to sing out, and he felt drawn to the song. He didn't need to reveal himself, not yet anyway.
Caroline stopped her work when she felt a shiver run down her spine. She turned her head, and her eyes surveyed the area around her.
"Whose there?" She called out, still searching.
Seeing nothing, she went back to her garden. Unaware that she was still being watched.
Klaus smirked as he looked down at his necklace with a beaded cross dangling around his neck. It was a special necklace, given him by his mother, the Queen of the Gods.
"This is to help you go above, when you need too." Esther replied, placing it around his neck.
"For what purpose?" He asked, looking down at the cross.
She smiled, and touched his face softly. "Because, Niklaus, you are the Lord of the Underworld, and as such you cannot appear on earth, but once every year, for three days." She explained with a soft smile. "Once you are on earth, you cannot appear to anyone, unless you wish them too, or for any other such reason, or else there will be dire consequences." She added, sternly.
Klaus sighed, and nodded in understanding.
This was day two, and he only had one more day, or to wait another year. Klaus frowned at the thought.
For some unknown reason, he couldn't seem to separate himself from her. He couldn't explain it, but she captivated him. It was rare, when someone captivated Niklaus Mikaelson.
He watched as she gracefully tended the garden. She would be so beautiful in his home, and he wondered how she would be in his bed.
The Goddess of Spring and the Lord of the Underworld, what an atrocious combination. Light and Dark, two opposites with no future.
But that never stopped Klaus before.
No, he would never love. He just wanted to add her to his collection. He loved art, appreciated it, and he was looking at a fine piece of art. He wanted her, and he would do whatever he could to have her.
Caroline smiled as she finished up with her garden, and began to walk towards the small creek, behind Klaus' position.
Klaus moved around the tree, though she could not see him, and watched as she gracefully moved across the grass to the creek.
Her scent enveloped him, and he felt his heart tighten at the smell of gardenia and lilacs rolled together in a sweet and tantalizing nectar.
His eyes closed as the scent sent him off the bender. Oh, she smelled divine. He wanted her, now!
Caroline felt shivers run down her spin as she reached the creek, and she wheeled around, her eyes blue eyes narrowing as she surveyed the area once more.
"Who's there?" She called for the second time.
Klaus opened his eyes, and watched as her eyes lit of fire as she became frustrated.
"I demand to know who is there." She shouted with fervent pressure.
Klaus covered his mouth with his hand, trying to maintain cover.
Caroline stepped toward him, unaware he was standing just a few feet from her. "Answer me!" She shouted, her hair beginning to blow in front of her face as the wind began to pick up, sending her scent to him in waves.
Klaus felt weak, and he hated feeling weak. He frowned as he studied her. She was making him weak.
Caroline felt fire run through her veins. Whoever was watching her was not going to answer her. She sighed as she realized it was too much to hope for that someone could be decent and answer her or at the very least stop watching her.
She rolled her eyes and shook her head, as she turned around and knelt beside the water. She placed her hands in the cool water, and smiled as the dirt began to wash off, leaving her hands looking new. She sighed as the wind picked up once more.
Today was a beautiful day. Caroline thought as she stood up, and wiped her hands on her dress. She turned around, and her eyes searched the woods for any sign of the intruder.
"Well, since you won't reveal yourself, I'm leaving." She replied, with a smile, and crossing her arms over her chest.
Klaus smiled at her bravado. It was going to be so much fun having her for himself.
Caroline sighed and dropped her arms. "Fine." She replied, throwing her arms out in defeat. "Be that way!" She replied, lifting her head up and disappearing in a flash of light.
Klaus smirked and shook his head. "Until tomorrow, Caroline." He whispered, as he disappeared in a dark light.
What did you think?
Again, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all!
