God, I really love writing this story! It's like they're all acting the scenes out in my head, but I just can't find the proper words to describe it! :(
And thanks so much for all the reviews! Remember to check your message box for my reply! ;)
Chapter 2
Tatia never speak of her past. She's only seventeen but she seems to have been through a lot of terrible things. But she only shows her sorrow when she's alone.
My brother Elijah has a crush on her too, and that's why we've been so distant as the years gone by. Elijah is a quiet man, he never reveals many of his feelings, but I can still see how different he treats Tatia.
He never said he loves her. He just help her carry heavy wares, or simply smile shyly when she talks to him. But I'm different. I always believe that one should let the girl he loves knows about the fact that he loves her. And that's pretty much all girls want, isn't it?
I've made my decision. I'm gonna propose to Tatia tonight. Tell her that I don't care about her past, or anything else she's been concerned about. I want to spend the rest of my limited life with her, even though that means I have to be the father of that child.
I always know Tatia is the girl he's so in love with. The way his eyes shine when he sees her face, how he laughs when they're talking, all remind me that I'm never gonna be the one.
But I don't care.
I just want him to be happy. Even though I'm not the one to share happiness with him. That's the point of true love, right?
Bekah always comforts me by saying that one day he'll come around. He'll notice me as a grown woman, and realize how much more beautiful I am than Tatia. But I know that's never gonna happen. At least not with her still around.
But that day, when Esther comes to talk to me, I suddenly have a feeling that maybe, just maybe, anything can happen somehow.
Klaus was sharpening his sword when he saw Tatia coming nearby to hang up the clothes she just washed. An idea suddenly came to his mind. It might bring some benefits for his proposal tonight if he showed her how strong a warrior he was in front of all these people.
He walked towards Elijah with his sword in hand, and challenged his brother with smirk. "Wanna have a little fun, brother?"
Elijah smiled and picked up his sword. "Why not? I'm glad that we're talking again."
They soon caught people's attention right after they started fighting. Rebekah grabbed Caroline's hand and ran to her brothers' direction.
"They shouldn't be doing this! Mikael might get here any moment!" Caroline was a little worried. She had learned that Mikael wasn't so fond of Klaus over the past few years.
"Don't be such a fun killer, Caro. Life's been boring already." Rebekah laughed out when she saw Klaus easily defeated Elijah.
Klaus looked into Tatia's direction, and saw her approving smile. He was already imaging how well things would turn out that night between him and Tatia when he noticed Mikael and Esther coming toward them. The laugh on his face immediately vanished.
Caroline's heart almost stopped when Mikael pushed Klaus down to the ground, holding Elijah's sword against his son. She thought that she should do something in case Mikael got mad and killed Klaus, but she couldn't move her feet.
"Some days, it's a miracle you're still alive, boy." Mikael walked away and left the others still in shock.
"You alright, brother?" Elijah reached his hand to Klaus, wanted to pull him up from the ground. But Klaus stood up on his own, and headed towards his tent with a gloomy look on his face.
Rebekah tipped Caroline a wink and went after her favorite brother.
"Come with me, Caroline." Esther interrupted her thought and walked by.
Caroline was a little confused, Esther hardly spoke to her alone ever since she got here, what would she have to say? But the blonde girl still followed her into her cottage.
"I can see that you fancy Niklaus a lot." Esther turned around and looked at Caroline seriously.
"I… I'm not…" That's the last thing Caroline would imagine before she entered. "I… maybe a little."
Esther laughed out at her panic. "It's okay, girl. I don't bite. Actually I think you're the perfect girl for Niklaus."
Caroline's eyes were wide open. What did the woman just said?
"You see." Esther continued, wandering around. "Niklaus is always this impulsive and irritable boy. Maybe he'll grown into a responsible man if he found a girl and settled down. And I think you should be the one."
Caroline couldn't remember how she got out of Esther's cottage and returned to her own. All she kept thinking about is their little conversation, and how Esther told her to think carefully about this suggestion.
Is this a dream? She thought to herself. Would Klaus ever marry her?
So any thoughts? I really hope there'll be more original scenes in the show!
And please review! ;)
