Chapter 2:
Unexpected Guest of the Wolf
…
Waking up alone in the large empty mansion with no food in the kitchen, Rosalyn frowned at the lack of groceries inside the fridge and turned her gaze towards the clock to see it was 10:30 in the morning, "I know living with vampire would end with me dying in starvation" she mumbled softly under her breath at the time as she sighed deeply in defeat and went to the isle to take her cell phone on top of the counter. She dialed the number of a certain immortal and waited patiently for the owner to answer his phone, "Morning, love" answered the familiar husky voice into the speaker as she climbed up the wooden stair of the mansion towards her room, "How may I help you?"
"Klaus…" she acknowledge the person behind the line and rummaged through her handbag to find her purse, "I see you haven't bought the groceries yet"
"Ah… Yes. My apology, love. I forgot you're still a human"
Rosalyn rolled her eyes at his latter words and grabbed her purse from her handbag on the make-up table as she went down the stairs towards the front door of his house, "Well, I'm heading out and I really hope you let me before I died in starvation"
"I'm sure you can live without food for a while…"
"Klaus, I'm serious. I want to go out. If I waited for you to finish with whatever you're doing, it will never finish. Just granted me a permission to leave for a while just to buy the groceries alright?"
A moment of silence answered her question regarding the permission before a soft sigh in defeat emitted behind the line, "Alright…" he agreed, "But I only gave you half a hour to shop and if you weren't at home at that time, I'll send a search party for you. Understood?"
"Yes, mother" said the woman sarcastically in returned as she took the keys from the hanger on the wall beside her before twisting the doorknob of the wooden French door to take a step out from the mansion into the foyer.
"I mean it, love. Don't play with me"
"I'm not"
"Good. I'll be late again tonight. Don't wait for me"
"Alright"
"Take care, love. I see you soon"
Ending the call, she walked towards the spare car left by Klaus in case of emergency and turned on the engine of the silver Range Rover on their lawn as she drove it into the town of New Orleans. She took a free parking space in front of the small groceries store located within the French Quarter and walked out from her car into the street as she entered the said building in front of her.
The soft music of a popular music band greeted the red haired woman as she glanced around the store cautiously for any threat regarding supernatural inside the place. After finding nothing suspicious about the store, she went to main counter located not far from the entry and took the blue plastic basket for her items as she headed towards the back of the small store on the dry food section for some pasta and other ingredient for her dinner tonight. She picked a few items for her personal need such as toothpaste and shampoo from the shelves and accidently stumbled onto someone while checking for her phone for the time.
"Oh my…"
Rosalyn took the fallen package of macaroni from the floor in front of her and gave it back to the owner with an apology look appeared on her face, "I'm really sorry. I wasn't looking"
A brunette woman smiled slightly at the apology and shook her head in dismiss as she took the offered package, "It's alright. No harm done" she smiled.
"I'm Rosalyn. You?"
"I'm Hayley"
"Well, Hayley. I know this is rude but… I need to go. I promise someone I'll be back home before 11"
"O-Oh, it's alright. I'll see you around I guess"
Rosalyn smiled in returned for her words and went to the counter with her basket to pay for the items she bought as she headed back towards the mansion owned to a certain man. She turned off the engine of her car and walked out towards the back to take the bags before the sound of the opened door caught the maiden's attention as she turned around to see an angry man stood stiffly on the doorframe of the mansion with arms across firmly against his broad chest, "You're late" he said, "I was about to find you"
"Sorry… I get sidetrack along the way"
Klaus narrowed his pale blue eyes in search for any hint of lie within her tone and slowly relax his tense muscles as he uncrossed his arms away from his chest in satisfy for her answer. He flashed his way forwards to her side and took the groceries bags away from her hands, saying "Next time, please aware of your time, love. I don't want tear the whole Quarter just to find you" as he took the heavy bags of fruits and vegetables from the trunk of the Range Rover, "I was worried you've capture by stray vampires along the way…"
A pair of bright emerald eyes widened slightly in surprised for his words and looked up to see nothing but pure concern plastered within his face for her safety. Gulping her saliva at the intense gaze of his, she took a deep breath to ease herself down and slowly gave him a small smile in apology for her mistake, "I'm sorry…"
Klaus silenced for a moment in thought and turned his intense gaze away from the maiden as he headed towards the door of his mansion with the bags within his hand, "Just don't do it again, love"
"I understand…"
With that, both of the couple headed back into the mansion and placed all of the groceries bags on top the marble isle within kitchen. Rosalyn rummaged through the bags and began organized the groceries into its respected place inside the cabinet above the stove, "I thought you said you'll be back late tonight" said the woman to the owner of the house as she closed the cabinet door.
Klaus who had been contently watching her moving around his kitchen couldn't help but smirked at the scene and looked up to meet the questionable emerald gaze of hers with a shrug upon his face, "I am. I just want to see whether you're home or not on time" answered the immortal to the human as he leaned casually on the marble isle behind her.
"Well, here I am. You can go now you know"
"Throwing me out from my own mansion, love?"
"Yes. Now, shoo! You're distracting me with your heat ray vision"
He let out a small laugh at the response coming out from his companion and shook his head in amused as he leaned away from the counter to take his leave, "Very well, then" he said as he drew his hands down into the pocket of his brown trench coat, "I want you to remain within the house tonight, love. Don't go out. You never knew what kind of creature lurking within the dark"
"I know… and I wasn't planning to"
"Good. I see you later, love"
"Hmmm…"
Kissing her cheek in goodbye, the hybrid turned his back to her and slowly walked out from the kitchen towards the front door. The silenced woman took a deep breath to ease her beating heart down from pounding loudly inside her chest for his action and leaned heavily on her hands in front the counter beside the sink with a tint of flush adorned on her face, "Oh god. Is it me or did we just sound like a married couple back there…" mumbled the reincarnated woman softly under her breath as she shook her head in disbelieve, "I can't believe I just domesticated an Original hybrid"
...
"Where's Niklaus?"
Rosalyn jumped slightly in surprised at the sudden voice greeting her from behind and turned around to see a dark brunette man standing stiffly within the hallway of the house, "I-I don't know" answered the only people inside the large mansion to him as she looked at the man cautiously for his sudden appearance, "He left a few hours ago"
Elijah blinked his dark gaze at the woman sitting in front of the fire place with a book in her hand and frowned slightly in wondered for the familiar face, "You…" he gasped softly in realization as he remembered where he seen her before, "You're Ms Rosalyn White isn't it?"
"…Yes and you are?"
Satisfy with the answer he received from the fair maiden, he smiled politely to her and bowed slightly in apology for his rudeness, "How rude of me" he said as he introduced himself to her, "I'm Elijah Mikaelson, Niklaus's older brother"
"O-Oh…"
He took cautious step into the living room and looked deeply into her deep green eyes with wonder plastered across his handsome face for her presence inside their old mansion within New Orleans, "May I ask what are you doing here alone in this mansion? I heard the Salvatore's brothers had been looking everywhere for you"
Rosalyn narrowed her eyebrows in a frown at the unknown yet familiar name and couldn't help but tilted her head slightly to the side perplexedly for the question asked by the man, "I beg your pardon?"
"The Salvatore's. Don't you know them?" asked the man once again to her as he watched her carefully for any hint of compulsion that had been made by his brother on her.
"I-I don't know anyone by the name of Salvatore…"
"…I see"
"Rosalyn?"
A sudden voice cut in between the couple as they both turned their attention to the person standing within hallway of the large mansion, "Hayley?" gasped the red haired woman in surprised to the brunette, "What are you doing here?"
Elijah blinked his dark gaze in matching surprised as he glanced between the women staring before him cautiously for any threat to the pregnant she-wolf, "You two know each other?" he asked. Hayley turned her own dark brown gaze to the older man standing beside her in the living room and nodded, "Yeah, we meet each other at the groceries store within the French Quarter"
"I see…"
Looking between the two women, Elijah nodded in approve for their acquaintance and turned his gaze up to the she-wolf with concern emitted on his face, saying "That's good. I want you to stay here with Ms White as I find Klaus…"
"Klaus? What happened to him?" asked Rosalyn in sudden concern for the name mention by the Original vampire as she looked between the two for some answer regarding the hybrid.
"I'm sorry, Ms White but it's not my place to tell you…"
"But-!"
Without wasting any more time, the Original immortal turned his back to her and disappeared into the hallways as the sound of the front door closed echoed inside the silent mansion. A frown of displeasure occurred upon the reincarnated woman's face and turned her attention away from the empty space to her book, mumbling, "Well…that was rude"
Hayley who obviously heard the mumble smiled at her complain and shrugged as she crossed her arms against her chest while leaning casually on the wall beside the fireplace, "Well, don't mad at him because he's in a rush, Rosalyn. He just stress that's all" she said to her companion as she took her time to admire the decoration inside the living room.
"What do you mean?"
She snapped her attention away from her observation and turned her dark orbs back to the red haired woman sitting on the couch with a shrug, "Well…" she trailed off, "He and I just find out that I'm pregnant with his brother's baby and the witches in this town are out to kill me"
"What?! You mean you're pregnant with Klaus's baby?"
"Yup…"
"…Oh"
Watching carefully for the woman's reaction, the pregnant she-wolf pulled away from the dark wall behind her and started to walk around the large living room for something to do just to pass her time while waiting for Elijah to return with the father of her baby, "What about you? What are you doing here anyway?" she asked with pure interest inside her tone to her companion as she looked up at the painting of the Originals on the wall.
"Well…" trailed Rosalyn off as she shuffled the page of her book on her laps with disinterest, "I don't really know the answer to your question but… for your information, I just follow him here"
"How can you don't know? I mean, how long have you been following him?"
"I don't know" she shrugged, "I can't remember anything before I met him"
Hayley raised her eyebrows in disbelieve at the disinterest inside her tone and shook her head as she ran her hand through her dark locks, saying "Well, I'm tired and I don't think I can keep up with all the drama happening today" mumbled the woman in deep thought as she looked up to the only people inside the large mansion, "Can you show me to the nearest bedroom so I can sleep for tonight?" asked the exhausted woman to her politely as she watched her closed her book and placed it down onto the coffee table in front of her.
"Of course, follow me"
The two women walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor of the house and turned to their left into the hallway as Rosalyn showed her to one of the guestroom inside the mansion. She picked the room that slightly closer to the bathroom and opened the door for the new guest to see, "This is it. I hope it's suit you" she said.
"Thank you. It's enough… I see you tomorrow then. Good night, Rosalyn"
"…Good night, Hayley"
…
The sound of the grand clock ticking welcomed him home as he shut the front door of his house loudly in anger before making his way upstairs into his room. He walked down the dark hallways and slowly stopped in the middle of his track as he turned attention to the sound of soft breath coming out from his left at the door of his guestroom. Klaus stood there silently in consideration of going inside and hesitantly raised his hand onto the doorknob as he turned the knob opened to see her.
Raising his gaze up to figure lying contently in the bed before him, the immortal took a step inside the large bedroom and carefully closed the wooden door behind him as he made his way to the said bed. He watched the rise and fall of her chest as she took a deep breath within her sleep and slowly sat down beside her on the large queen bed inside the room. He raised his large hand to the side of her face and carefully tucked the stray hairs away from her beautiful face.
"You're late…"
The hand that was caressing her cheek frozen suddenly in its track as he raised his gaze up to meet a pair of emerald eyes with his blue ones.
"Sorry…"
Rosalyn shrugged in returned for his apology and snuggled closer into her cover as she looked up at the man sitting before her expectedly, "I heard you got a woman with your bun in her oven" she said as she caught the man's hand into her, "Congratulation of entering the parenthood, Klaus"
Klaus silenced at the sincerity of her voice for news and slowly withdrew his hand back to his side as he glared annoyingly at the words kept repeating inside his head regarding the news of his unborn child, "There's nothing to be congrats of" he growled, "I don't even want it"
A hint of frown adorned on her face as she sat up from her bed to get a closer look of his face, "What do you mean you don't want it?" she asked the man in disbelieve for his words, "It's your child"
"I never intend to have a child in the first place, Rosalyn"
"But still-!"
"Enough!" he snapped, "Just leave it and go to bed!"
She parted her lips once again to argue with the man but instantly stopped as she meet a pair of dilated pale blue eyes with her emerald ones, "I want you to forget everything we've talk tonight" he said as he narrowed his eyes deeply into hers, "I don't want to hear a words about it. Understood?"
"Yes…"
"Good… Now, go to sleep"
With his final words, the woman closed her clouded emerald eyes and started to fall into his arms as he carefully carried the sleeping woman into her bed. Klaus tucked her in gently under the thick cover and slowly caressed her face before standing up from her side towards the door. He stopped suddenly in the middle of his track and couldn't help but glanced back one last time to sleeping woman as he disappeared into the darkness of the cold night with deep thought circling around his mind.

Review?
…
A/N: First of all, I want to apologize for my late update to all the reader who had been waiting for the sequel of Reincarnation. You see, I'm actually busy this couple of months because of the exam and study so I have little time to spare for writing this sequel. I hope you like it even though it's short. Sorry about that. And… I want to warn you that any mistake on this story is because English is not my cup of tea and I sucks at writing it. Also, this story will NOT be exactly as the original because I'm trying to make it into my own storyline so there will be a few changes along the way that I hope you'll like it. So… keep on support this and I'll try my best to update it as soon as I can. Thank you.
