Elijah's PoV:

When the sun rays fell on her face, it gave her an angel like glow. Her skin not pale, but a creamy blend long with the sun-rays was so alluring.

Her voice broke me out of my trance.

"How are you feeling leo'f?" Her eyes were icy blue when she healed me, but now they were just... Blue!. Her voice was not quiet and thin, but strong and calm and it surprised me, I don't know why?

"Huh?" was my intelligent reply.

"I asked if you were alright, leo'f. You're not feeling hurt, are you?" Her concerned tone filled me with something I couldn't put my hands on.

"Yes Yes, I am feeling very fine. It seems that your talent has healed my wounds. Are you a witch?" The words flew out of my mouth like volcano.

"That's good! And yes leo'f I am a witch by heritage." she replied feeling proud. "The sun's woken up, maybe we should go back. We would not want to leave our families to be in distress."

"No... I mean yes. They might wake up soon. And please call me Elijah." I reluctantly got up and gave her my hand to get up.

"No, it's fine. I would like to stay here for a while. I'm Charlotte. My family knows my habits. They won't be worried." she told him when he was about to question her.

Seeing that she wasn't going to budge, I reluctantly bid her farewell and started to walk towards my new home.

Charlotte's PoV:

After I couldn't see Elijah anymore, I turned my attention to my own foot. It was bleeding like Elijah's was.

My magic is known to be the most powerful. I can conjure wordless spells and help everyone but myself.

A curse put on the second petrovas since ancient times by none other that the first petrovas, Lunaire on Mishti.

That's the reason that they don't have magic. Mishti's magic instead of being destroyed became amplified and Lunaire lost all her power.

She used so much power that not even her further progeny lost the gift of magic. Lunaire was punished by the nature for her acts and she became very ill soon.

Petrovas were the first beings to have magic. The first being the doppelgangers Tamara and Ethinu to practice earth and dark magic.

It has been practiced from then ever since. The tribes of Tamara and Ethinu were different so they had to go separate ways. Tamara's tribe was known as The Travellers.

When their tribes were going separate ways, they both did a spell to be united forever.

When the Tamara's reincarnation was born to Elthia, her previous daughter Amara became a magical being and from then on she would have a reincarnation too, that being her doppelganger.

I started walking home with a slight limp. By the time I had reached home, everyone was awake.

"Charry, what happened to you dear?" my mother gasped when she saw my wound... Or Elijah's.

"Mother" I fake gasped "No greetings in the morning. Aunt Anne will not be too happy."

My mother gave me a look saying 'explain young lady... and no jokes.'

"Nothing serious Mother, just tripped on some branches. You know I don't possess grace like you. I'm feeling alright."

"Hello mother. Char. What a beautiful day it... Charlotte what happened to you?" Tatia's mood went downspiral from being overly cheery to horrid. "What happened? Are you hurting? Of course you are. How silly of me? I'll just bring a wash..."

"Tatia!" I broke her out of her rambling. "I'm utterly and completely fine. No need to shed your pearls like teardrops for me. They're worth 12 dresses. So save them or I'll steal them and buy dresses for myself."

She gave me a teary chuckle and hugged me tight.

"Lord knows you can't steal to save your own life. S if you even tried to do that I'll set you up with dear Aldrich. What do you think about that." Tatia teased me.

"Then I'll set you up with his brother Aldrin." I replied back and poked my tongue out.

"Oh Lord save me from this beast. First you made me shed my pearls and now you're dealing with my heart. How cruel of you!" Tatia said with fake anger.

We both looked at each other for a while and then burst out laughing. Aldrich and Aldrin were 2 brothers of our village who were known for being very wise.

Why wouldn't they be. They were almost 90 years old.

Mother was shaking her head with a smile on her face and then got teary eyed. "I'd miss your lovely banters while you'll be gone."

Her face instantly turned into one of horror and matched Tatia's. I however remained neutral. I knew this conversation would come up someday.

After all I was leaving today along with Tulip. I know it'd be heart breaking for my lovely sister and mother alike but the fact that I was leaving and Tatia not knowing this would break her heart.

"My dear, I apologize for not telling you. I know you'd be terribly upset with both of them leaving, I just couldn't bring myself to tell you. Tatia...Tatia dear please just listen to me once."

Tatia ran out of the house as soon as those words got out of my mother's mouth. She was sobbing and I hugged her tightly murmuring comforting words to her.

What a wonderful day! First meeting with Elijah, then getting hurt and pampered with a few jokes and now the revelation of me going. I hope nothing goes wrong after this.

"Charlotte, I apologize. I should have asked you before making this decision. Tatia doesn't know about your powers and frankly I don't want her to know. I'm scared for you. The stories I've heard from my ancestors..."

"Mother, shh I know everything. Please don't apologize. Everything will turn out to be fine. The prophecies sometimes come true, sometimes they don't. We don't want such things to hinder us from living with joy, shall we? Now wipe your waterfall away, and prepare food for the journey. You know how much I love a good home made meal." I kissed my mother's forehead.

"How come when Tatia cries, they're pearls and you claim mines to be a waterfall?" Mother asked with fake hurt.

"Well you know, I speak the truth... Most of the times. You're tears are endless whereas Tatia hardly ever cries. Your tears have made the Chira lake so I would be controlling my tears if I were you Mama. SO, there's your answer." I grinned showing my teeth.

"HA HA. My daughter ever the jokester. I hope a handsome man..."

"MOTHER!" I cried out with shock "I humbly beg you to never do this discussion again. Maybe you can talk with Tatia about this but by no means with me. I will stay with you forever not leaving you."

"Alright. Now go to you sister. I know you've been itching to go to her and comfort her. She would be waiting for you to go to to her and ease her anger and sadness." She kissed my forehead. Of course she wouldn't let me go without saying anything. "If you find a young man on the way make sure to marry him."

I think I stomped like a child outside and could hear my mother's soft chuckles.

If I didn't know any better, I would say that the nature's playing tricks on me.

I wasn't watching where I was going, I usually never do and Heavens, I slipped on the simple wet grass. I wonder if there will be more blood gushing out from my foot when I was caught by someone.

I opened my eyes to see beautiful brown eyes. The boy looked a little older than me and held on me tightly.

"My Apologies. I was not watching where I was going."

"No harm done. Are you alright? You seem to have an injury in your leg" the boy replied.

"Yes I'm alright. Thank you for asking. It's just a minor injury." I gave him a smile.

"I'm Kol Mikaelson, you must be Charlotte Petrova." he replied giving me a dazzling smile.

"Yes, I remember you from my sister's and my visit to your home. Are you comfortable with this place? I know that you and your family have just moved here."

"We are more than comfortable with living in this place. I've never seen such a beauty." Kol replied looking at her like she was the only person in the world with him.

"I'm glad to hear that. This place is mystical. The falls nearby is called Mystic falls due to this reason."

He kept on smiling at me like a little child who was given his favorite sweet..

"I should be going Kol. My sister is waiting for me."

"Will we meet again Charlotte?" He asked me.

"Perhaps we will Kol." I bid him farewell.

Unknown to her Kol had closed his eyes when she passed by him. Her scent of freshness and Jasmine along with a little forest musk drove him crazy.

'I never thought love at first sight could ever be true.' he thought.

He always was a flirt by nature and he loved it. But meeting her had such a powerful impact on him that he was left in a daze.

'What are you doing to me Charlotte? I'm going soft.' he thought.
