=== SUMMER ===
The Spring had gone by faster than I had expected. It was announced to the village that me and Elijah were to wed in the fall. Everyone was happy for us but Kol. Kol would not talk to us for the longest time.
Once he finale got over it our friendship became better. I was learning all of my duties for when we were married and what I would have to do. Ester would tell me about how we would have to get started on children fast because of Elijah's age. It scared me when she spoke of things like that. I was not ready for that, what if i didn't even want children. No I would have to have children for Elijah. He had told me he wanted a big family like his and of how he would treat his children better than his father ever did. That always made me smile.
One night we gathered around the fire eating dinner. The rest of the village would join other groups, our was of the riches in the village or who was excepted by Mikael. The dinner was going well. I was talking with Bekah and Elijah for the most part. Kol would once in awhile join the conversation. The conversations were stopped when Mikael decided out of no where that Garrett would marry Bekah. Everyone became quiet and shocked. Bekah mostly. Garrett looked to be embarrassed more than shocked. Niklaus joined in by arguing and standing up for them. He and Mikael got into a fight that the whole village was present to. Niklaus stormed off into the woods. I felt my heart sink. How could he do that.
Caroline sat at the falls thinking of her future. She was in love with Elijah but something had just not felt right the past few moons. She started at the water deep in thought when she caught something from the corner of her eye. Niklaus! I had seen him time and time again and every time he would look at me and confuse me with his stares. I saw him sit on a rock near the edge. He looked to be angry.
I know not to bother him when hes angry because of what happened the last time I tried to help him out. I begin to feel the rage inside me as he sits there like the night he yelled at me. I get up ready to leave when I notice he's not mad but hurt. I knew I would regret this later but being me I had to same something to him.
"Niklaus" I called walking over to him.
"what do you want Caroline?" he seemed pretty calm to my surprise.
"I just wanted to see if you were alright". I tried to touch his shoulder but he shoved my hand away.
"I'm fine now leave" I started to walk away not wanting a repeat of six years ago when it hits me, Why should I leave and be scared at him yelling at me again. I'm going to show him not to push me away.
"what is your problem I'm only trying to reach out to you and help you, but you just push me away. Like last time. Whats your problem? Not everyone is like your father you know, Not everyone is going to try to beat you up for being nice for a change." I say proudly knowing I'm holding my ground.
"How do you know about my father?" Oh shit.
"I saw him beat you in the wood when I was ten." i say putting my head down waiting for him to yell at me. Instead he just stands there not making a sound I look up at him and see what looks like pain in his eyes. I try to rush away when he grabbed my hand.
"I'm sorry" he says making my mouth drop. Did he just say he's sorry?.
"So am I. I never meant to say that." I say looking down feeling bad for what I just said to him.
"It's fine, I deserved it" he says looking at the falls. He sat back down and pushed over."Would you like to sit?" I smile and nod my head at him. I must say I'm very proud of myself in this moment.
"Sure" I say sitting down next to him. We are quiet for a while just sitting and staring at the falls. Till I get the courage to ask him something.
"Why don't you talk to anyone Niklaus?" he looks at me and shrugs his shoulders.
"I don't know. I guess I just prefer to be alone" I feel sadness fall upon me. He looks into the falls and I cant help but notice carvings on the rock next to me. They are amazingly done. I trace my fingers over them.
"They are of the wolves." he says. I look to him he is looking at the rock. "see" say pointing to the mark. "It's the full moon, then that one is the.. "wolf" I say looking up at him. "did you do these?" he looks down then back to the falls. "yes" he whispers. "Their amazing Niklaus." I say starting at him. I see a small smile on his lips. "thank you" he says looking down again. I smile at him.
We sit staring at the falls. I am in disbelief that I have finale had a conversation with him. "Did you notice this is our first conversation." I say looking at him. He smirks.
I guess it is, if you don't count the one from a few moons back." he says looking down.
"I really am sorry Niklaus." I say touching his hand. He looks at my hand then I see a tear fall. oh no. He pulls his hand away from mine getting up.
"yes well thank you." I nod at him.
"we should go back before nightfall." he says looking up to the sunset.
"yes we should." I say. The walk back to the village is quiet. I walk ahead of him. I can feel his eyes on me the hole time and there's something about the way he is looking at me that just gives me this feeling I can not explain.
By the time we reach the village it is dark. I hear the howl of a wolf in the far distance. I turn to see Niklaus looking the same was as me. He turns and catches my eyes with his. I smile at him and go to leave.
"good night Niklaus." I say walking away.
"I really as sorry Caroline." I hear him say quietly. I stop and look down. I hear his breath, he's nervous.
"It's alright." i mange to say. I don't know why but I feel tears build up in my eyes. I continue walking and find my way to my hut. When I walk in I see everyone asleep so I walk over and lie down next to Gavin and feels his arms wrap around my waist. "Caroline" I hear him whimper. I stroke his hair and hold on to him.
"yes its me go to sleep." I feel him fall back to sleep quickly in my arms. I can feel my self starting to drift away to the warm night. My last thought being of the carves in the rock.
I feel Elijah's arms around me as I clean the clothes.
"What are you doing?" I say kissing his arm. I feel him kiss my hair.
"Enjoy my ladies presents" he says into my hair. The way he breathes in my hair makes my heart stop. I turn to look at his eyes. He's looking at me the way Kol use to. I put my hand to his cheek, smiling up at him. He leans in and kisses me gently on the lips. I return his kiss closing my eyes. I feel him gently push me to the ground. He leans on top of me kissing me with a little more force. I open my mouth for him so that his tongue collides with mine. I don't understand but it feels so right. I put my arms around his neck pulling him towards me.
"not to interrupt but I think you have some clothes to be cleaning." Bekah shouts walking towards us. I push Elijah off me and get to my knees, brushing myself off. Gathering the clothes into arms and get up. I see Elijah follow me brushing himself off of the grass on his shirt. He's smiling at me making me blush. I never thought that I would ever be kissing Elijah let alone marrying him. He wraps his arms around me kissing the top of my head.
"I must go hunt with my brothers, I will be back for dinner." he says into my hair. I smile up at him as he kisses me again on the lips before running off into the woods.
By the time my chores are done. I have nothing else to do. It is only noon so I decide to go up to the falls maybe swim a bit. As I'm walking I have the weird feeling someone is following me. I turn to see no one there. Then hear something from behind my back. I turn and bump into Niklaus. He grabs my arms to keep me from falling.
"I'm sorry Caroline, didn't mean to scare you." I look at him and smirks at me, boy I hate that smirk sometimes.
"no your not, your smirk gave you away Niklaus." I say walking past him. I hear him following my I smile to myself this has never happened before.
"going to falls as well?" I call over my shoulder.
"yes, its to hot today and the village is at the pond, the falls is the only place where I could be alone." could what does he mean by that?
"could?" I ask.
"yes until you came back" what? I went there before him.
"It was my place first." I say.
"really, i don't recall ever seeing you there the past 6 years." he's smirking. I turn and stomp my foot and cross my arms pouting at him.
"love, that may work on Elijah but it won't work on me." he says walking past me. Love? what he's never called me that before.I run to catch up to him.
"well then it looks like we have to share, unless the big old bad Niklaus can't share." I say walking towards him, who's laughing now?
"on the contrary love. I can share if I chose to but the better question is, are you worthy?" I stop and stare at him. love again ? He walks up to me smirking
"I think I am, wait no. I know I am it was my place first." I say holding my ground. He smiles at me
"What ever you say love. After you then." he says gesturing for me to lead. I lift up my head high and walk in front of him smiling at myself.
The sound of the falls relaxes me. I sit at the side of the water pulling up my dress to my knees, putting my feet into the water. I sigh relaxing my head back. I relax for all of a second before the cold water is all over me. I open my eyes wide seeing Niklaus in the water.
"what are you doing," I yell at him.
"cooling off, what are you doing?" ugh, I roll my eyes. I look to my side and see his clothes, my eyes widen.
"are you naked?" I yell as he begins laughing.
"yes I can't go back in wet clothes" he says swimming around.
"what if I had seen you?" I feel my face turning red.
"then you would of seen me, Not like you have not seen it before" he says dunking under water. what? i have not seen him naked before. He comes back up for breath.
"well taking it by your red face and not looking at anything but my eyes. You haven't seen Elijah then." he says smirking. Why does he need to know this. I get up and walk over to the rock with his carvings. I trace my fingers over it again. I don't understand why but I just love these. I can hear him still swimming around in the water so I lie back and look at the sky. The clouds look so comfy that I want to sleep on them. My eyes begin to burn a bit from the sun so I shut them. After a bit of just listening around to the sounds around me I feel sleepy and begin to drift off. I try to keep myself awake but fail and slowly drift off.
