A.N: Chapter ten. This will start in Klaus POV but then go back to Val's. Please review. I am trying to make all chapters over four thousand words. I know it seems that Klaus liking her is rushed but in case it isn't obvious they are mates. Some of the things in the story could upset some people. I am sorry if that happens.
Klaus POV: We had just got to the roof and she sat down where there was a sofa she must come here a lot. But I could see why it was beautiful. You could see the whole of the city from here. I sat down next to her and she passed me the bottle.
"It's beautiful," I said.
"Marcel found it and when he was angry one day he came up here, so, me hearing his thoughts came up with a bottle of Scotch and we just stayed up here talking until he calmed down," she said smiling at the memory.
"So you have never seen the view," I asked. She nodded in confirmation. "Well it's amazing you can see the whole city at night and with my eyes, I can see the bayou," I explained.
"I know Marcel described it the first night I was up here," she said with a smirk. I immediately felt stupid of course he had.
"So, how comes you wanted company up here honey," I asked joking.
"Well sweetheart it gets boring drinking alone and usually Marcel keeps me company but as host, he can't leave," she joked back.
"Ah, so it wasn't because of my amazing company," I retorted.
"Well, that was part of the reason I mean we have the same sense of humour and like the same things," she says.
"So how in your bakery going?" I ask.
"Great it will be ready to open on Monday but on Sunday I am going to bake everything so it is ready. Just need to find someone to help as none of the vamps here can bake so I am going to do that while they decorate," she said excitedly.
"I can help, I'm not busy," I offered.
"Thanks that would be really helpful," she said with a smile. After that, she started to tell me all about what she would be asking me to do. She was so excited the more she started talking the more enthusiastic she came it was so cute. She was telling me about the bakery and restaurant and how she was going to split her time. We then started talking about what was happening at the ball and how many times someone was threatened.
"What's the time?" she asks.
"Eleven thirty we have been up here for about 45 minuet's," I answer.
"We should probably go down and back to the party she said standing up.
"How are you not drunk you had more of the bottle than me?" I wondered.
"Same way it takes a lot for you to get drunk it takes a lot for me as well," she answered with a shrug. I got up and just left the bottle there. We snuck back into the main party area and she immediately walked off to Kol and ordered a dance from him. He laughed and pulled her onto the dance floor.
"Shall we give them something other than your body to look at," he smirked.
"Definitely," she answered.
With that Kol went and got a song that was more sexual while Val walked around the edge of the dancefloor and everyone walked off it I guess she did something. Kol came over and took her to the middle of the dance floor. The started dancing and everyone in the room was staring, but so was I. It was so sexual and they moved so well together. It looked like they had real chemistry. I didn't even know Kol could dance like that and how she was dancing in six-inch heels was beyond me. When they finished they were face to face close enough that their noses were touching. I couldn't help but feel jealous they got so close, I wanted to dance with her like that and have that chemistry. They broke apart and everyone applauded they just bowed. When the next song came on they walked off the dance floor and Kol lead her towards me.
"What did you think brother don't we dance so well together," Kol asked with a wink.
"Yeah, but when did you learn to dance like that?" I questioned.
"Spain some time ago, not all women were virgins before marriage long ago. Some of them taught me to dance. But what I want to know is were innocent Val learnt to dance like that?" He questioned.
"Never you mind. And innocent hardly you should talk to Craig," she replied. I snorted remembering what she had done to Craig.
"Well, seen as we are each others date would you like to dance Val," I asked. She nodded and took my arm and I gave Kol my drink while he winked at me I just rolled my eyes. It was a Viennese waltz.
"So do you think they are going to hold me to explaining later," she asked nervously.
"Maybe, I had forgotten really but you were keeping me entertained on the roof whereas they were all bored down here," I said honestly. She just nodded in response. We were silent after that I think she was nervous and I was wondering about what she would say. Once the dance was over we went and found the bar. Just as she was about to order her drink the man next to us spoke "Don't worry about paying sweetheart I will," he said with a wink.
"That's quite alright thank you," she said coldly.
"Don't worry about it and besides what type of gentleman would I be if I let you pay for a drink," he said resting his hand dangerously low on her back. I was about to step in when the bartender who I recognised from her bar shook her head smirking. Maybe she was used to this, so I took their advice and watched.
"Well you are obviously not a gentleman or your hand wouldn't be so low on my back or even there at all as I don't know you. Also, this ball is my friends so I get all drinks for free as I supplied the bar staff," she said removing his hand.
"Sorry, but why don't you apologise by sharing a drink with me," he said trying again.
"I don't think my boyfriend would like that," she said.
"Well he isn't here right now is he," the man said looking around. I am right here we walked up together why couldn't I be this possible boyfriend. I was about to but in and say I was when Damon walked up.
"Actually he is so I suggest you back off," he said staring the man down if I was human I would have given up.
"Sure, she is why don't I believe you," he said glaring at Damon.
"For fuck sake leave me alone. He is my boyfriend if he wasn't would I do this," Valarie said before grabbing Damon and giving him a kiss winding her hands around her neck and his arms went around her waist. When they stopped kissing she looked back at the man.
"Fine," the man grumbled and left. As soon as he was out of our sight Val jumped out of Damon's arms and got a bottle out from the bar and an empty glass she took a mouthful and swirled it around then spat it in the glass.
"Ew, ew, ew I can't believe I did that," she said repeating the process.
"It wasn't that bad a kiss," Damon said offended.
"No I agree with that complements by the way but I don't know where you have been but you have kissed my sister at least once," she said and then turned to me pointing a finger, "And you why couldn't you step in then at least you haven't kissed Elena. If you had I wouldn't have had to kiss him," she said angrily.
"I was about to but then he showed up," I defended. She grumbled a little but didn't argue back. We stayed at the bar for about twenty minutes bantering back and forth with Damon when people started to leave. Val got up and went to the exit to say goodbye to the people she knew. I and Damon stayed at the bar.
"So what do you think made her flip at your brother earlier," Damon asked me.
"No idea. But we will find out soon," I answered we downed our drinks and went to say goodbye as we were part of the people that were hosting. Once everyone had gone we all went into the living room.
"So are you going to explain why you decided a knife at my throat apart from the fact it looked so good there," Kol asked sarcastically. We all turned to look at her expectantly. She sighed and nodded.
"Val you don't have to," Marcel said hesitantly.
"It's fine Marcel I would have to explain at one point anyway," she sighed. "It has to do with how I ended up blind really," she said.
"I had a boyfriend at the time we were very serious and in love," she said.
"He didn't -" Bekah started.
"No, no. Couldn't hurt a woman wasn't raised that way. Unfortunately not all his friends felt the same. One night one of his friends came to our door drunk. Never was a good drunk I usually left once he started drinking I never liked how he acted. Anyways he came in and we went to the kitchen making him coffee to try and sober him up. He started a small argument and it got out of hand. I tried calming him down but he was angry so he threw the coffee in my eyes. It was just made so unfortunately, the water was hot. The water burned my irises that is what made me blind. I was screaming in agony and that's when my boyfriend started to get angry and he shoved his friend they got into a fight and apparently he hit his head wrong and he died. I was still on the floor in pain. His friend decided he was still angry at him and wanted payback he hadn't realised he had killed him. So he got a knife out of the kitchen and he stabbed in the stomach. When I screamed it alerted the neighbours and they called the police. I was already friends with Marcel not knowing what he was but when he heard me scream and smelt all the blood, there was so much, from where he was at my bar. At this point, I was living in some flats nearby and renting my apartment. He came to see what was going on and restrained him until the police came. When I woke up in hospital Marcel was there and he told me the worst part of it all. It turns out I was nearly two months pregnant but from being stabbed in the stomach it had killed the baby and left me with a scar that you can't see in this dress as I don't like to look at it. But once I got home from the hospital I was going through the mail and there was a parcel for him and I opened it and it was a ring. Apparently, he was planning to propose. So when you said all those things it got to me. Not only did I lose my baby before I even knew of it, but I lost my boyfriend who would have been my fiance, I also got injured from the stab wound reducing my chance to have kids naturally by a lot. I know you didn't mean anything by it but it still affected me," she explained with tears running down her face hugging Marcel who had gone to sit next to her. They stayed like that for a while until she calmed down.
"Val, I am so sorry if I had known," Kol said shocked and sad.
"You couldn't have known," she said.
"Val I would love to comfort you right now but I am far too angry so could you please tell me the name of that man so I can kill him," Bekah said.
"I appreciate the sentiment but Marcel took care of it," she said smiling softly at her. Jeremy got up and went to hug her tightly.
"I'm sorry sis I know you love kids and always wanted loads," he said
"Not your fault," she replied.
"Marcel please tell me you killed the despicable man I don't really want to hunt someone down this evening," Elijah said straightening his jacket.
"No, I did better he is downstairs. Chained up so whenever I feel pissed of at what happened to Val or any of the vamps do we can go down and beat the shit out of him. Just make sure he doesn't die or close to it. Heal him up and he is good to go along as he get's fed. You are all welcome to pay him a visit even you Jeremy," Marcel said with an evil smile. We all stood up apart from Val and Marcel.
"I think we should wait until morning all together," Sage said smirking. We all sat down in agreement.
"So, really Jerebean would have been an uncle," Damon said trying to lighten up the situation.
"Don't forget dopplebitch would have been an aunt," Bekah replied.
"God, she would have been an awful aunt she probably would have tried to sacrifice her or some shit like that," Val laughed.
"Is that why you live here?" I questioned.
"Yeah, Marcel didn't want me out of his sight. I needed someone to help me the first few months I was blind anyway. Just because I can get around now didn't mean I always could. Fortunately, I didn't know the vampire secret until I was a fairy so if I was about to knock into something he could use vamp speed without me questioning it as I couldn't see him," she answered.
"Okay, you question her tomorrow but right now I am making you go take a bath and relax while we sleep because you need it," Marcel said getting up. She didn't protest she just got up and took her shoes off and walked to her room. Marcel turned to look at us all.
"For the next few days if she zones out just leave her she will just be thinking about it," he said softly then going after her. We all just sat there for a while.
"I can't believe she went through all of that," Stefan said.
"Well, I am going to go see this man and give him at least a punch excuse me, hun," Finn said getting up and speeding away. We heard the sound of someone being hit and we were all smiling. When he came back he was smiling.
"I definitely recommend it for anger management," he said sitting down.
After that we all went down and hit him, Jeremy brought a knife and none of us asked what he did with it as the screams were quite loud, I think we were all angry and really wanted to kill him but knew we couldn't.
When we went to bed we were all thinking about what we had learnt tonight and we're all thinking of how to make Val feel better tomorrow. I was thinking about how cute one of her kids would be. Which then turned to what our kids would look like. I went to sleep thinking about all the children we could have. Damn, I have it bad.
Val POV: While I was in the bath Marcel went out and got me some comfortable clothes and some ice cream. When I got out he was still in my room. I quickly got changed and thanked him. He stayed with me that night and we held each other even while he slept not because I would cry but because he knew I needed someone tonight. I stayed awake thinking and decided to go put some flowers at the small memorial in the garden that Marcel made in the morning. I got up and decided to make breakfast for everyone doing some of the things I wasn't sure whether they should go to the bakery. Marcel was always happy to be my taste tester. When I finished it was about an hour from when everyone would wake up so I went into the garden and made the flowers and prayed they were safe I sat there for a while just thinking. I decided I would try and not think about it as it was too hard so I got up and then went to get dressed. Marcel woke up while I was in the closet.
"Val?" he questioned groggily from just waking up.
"In here just getting dressed. I made some breakfast but it is stuff I am not sure should be in the bakery so be prepared for taste testing," I said. He went to his room and got ready while I went downstairs.
"Did you make all of this?" Kol asked. I jumped not realising he was there must still be a little out of it.
"Yeah, I want you all to try them and tell me if you think they should go to the bakery," I said smiling. We quickly got some food and sat down before everyone else could come and steal all the food.
"Val, I just want to say how sorry I am for what I said last night," he said.
"Kol, you didn't know and it's not your fault, to be honest, I thought Klaus would have stopped you sooner," I said with a shrug.
"I think he was enjoying what I was teasing him about," he said thoughtfully.
"What at us being married," I asked shocked.
"Well more the kids but I think that wasn't exactly unappealing. He has always wanted kids and I think if he did marry someone they would last forever because all he really wants is for someone to love him and I think having kids would mellow him out. Also, he would be able to do better than our father. I mean I would love to be an uncle as well so knowing he can do mean I am looking for his mate so I can be fun uncle Kol," he joked.
"What about you don't you want a mate," I asked.
"Yeah, but you can't exactly tell me who she is," he said.
"Well I can't tell you but I can give you a hint or a name at least," I admitted.
"Really. Can you do it for all of us," he asked excitedly.
"Sure, but I need to tell you something but I will tell you in your head in case someone is listening," I said. 'Marcel and Bekah are mates. Marcel knows and is going to try and win her over.' I told him in his head.
"I knew it now do me," he exclaimed. So I did I found his mate she was called Ella Maon.
"Her name is Ella Mason and lives in America that is all I can tell you and she is the age you were when turned," I said.
"Now do Klaus," he said. I did and what I found shocked me. It was me but I couldn't tell Kol that.
"Sorry can't get a name, he must have to be close to me I can go paint in the same room and try," I lied.
"Go, go and I am going to go search up my mate," he said shooing me away. So I went to the art room and sure enough, Klaus was here.
"Hi, Klaus," I said. I put up a lock and silencing charm didn't really need everyone to hear how awkward this would be.
"Hi, Val," he said shocked. "You going to do some art today," he asked. I shook my head.
"No, I was wondering if I could look at some of your art," I said moving to stand next to him. "But finish what you are painting first," I said.
"Yeah, sure. I'm painting a forest at the moment," he said as I took another stool and sat next to him.
"Klaus," I said hesitantly after a moment of thinking.
"Yeah," he answered distracted.
"I and Kol were talking and he made me look for all your mates I told him his and then I got to yours. Would you like to know who it was," I asked nervously?
"Oh... um... I, yeah please," he said. I stood up.
"Okay ... um... well," I began.
"Val who is it? Come on I want to know," he said a little impatient. Why am I so nervous?
"Well the thing is ... fuck it," I said before I just grabbed his face and kissed him. He froze for a second and then kissed me back. He grabbed my hip while I put my hands in his hair. He licked my lips asking for entrance which I quickly gave. We fought for dominance for a minute until he pinched my ass making me gasp in surprise and making him win. We kept kissing for a while neither of us really needing to breathe. I straddled his waist and we kissed a while longer before pulling back.
"So, I take it from that kiss we are mated," he said chuckling. I just nodded and he kissed me again and I could feel his smile. We soon started making out again and I trailed kisses down his jaw to his throat and back up to his ear which I gave a playful nip. I then worked my way back to his lips when he stood up with me wrapping my legs around his waist with his hands going under my ass. He then took us over to the sofa and sat us down.
"More comfortable than a stool," he explained quickly going in to kiss me again but I leant back and he nuzzled my neck whining in protest.
"You just seem to be taking this really well," I explained nervously.
"That's because you're amazing. In fact, I had a major crush on you," Klaus said seriously.
"Really," I smirked.
"Massive last night I went to bed thinking about how cute our kids would be and how I wanted to go in your room and hold you, to wake up next to you in the morning every morning. Apparently, according to Bekah, I looked at you in love a lot. So ... yeah I am taking this well as I want it," he said determined to make me see sense. I just smiled massively and kissed him passionately again.
"Keep saying things like that and you just might wake up to me every morning," I said in between kisses. We soon got heated and moved so I was laying on the couch with Klaus hovering over me in the process of giving me a hickey probably. I pushed him away from me a little.
"Klaus, hun, we should stop. I don't want to but we should. We only just found out we were mates we need to calm it a little," I said gently. Klaus stopped and moved back. I moved so I was on my side and pulled him down next to me and entangled our legs.
"Now, who said you had to go anywhere," I said giving him a peck on the lips. "Can we just stay here for a little while?" I asked.
So that's what we did we stayed on the couch after I made it a little bigger so we weren't squished, and just talked giving each other kisses and having small makeout sessions and playing with each others hair. It was great we stayed like that until lunch. I sat up with Klaus' arms around my waist.
"Okay I seriously need to get up and make lunch for me at least and do the books and set up the bakery," I said.
"Fine," Klaus grumbled getting up. We got to the door and I was about to go out when Klaus stopped me spinning me into his arms and mine immediately went around his neck. I looked at him expectantly for why he stopped me.
"Are we telling everyone, if not you might want to cover up the hickey. Also, if you don't want them to know I am your mate I would understand I know I am -," Klaus said but I cut him off kissing him.
When I pulled back I said, "We are telling them because I have no reason not to and besides if I don't I can't kiss you anytime I want which will be a lot."
"Oh, so you're just with me for my looks," he teased.
"That and your personality isn't half bad and the not dying thing is good," I pondered before smiling. I knew we had to go before people came looking for me to make food so I pulled back took his hand and walked out of the room. I walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, Klaus, Val. Paint or draw anything nice," Stefan asked. I then realised Marcel, Damon Jere and his siblings were all in there as well.
"No, we were to busy snogging," I said going to the fridge. A plate dropped.
"What!" Bekah screamed. "Klaus, why? My one friends did you have to," she yelled at him.
"B, we are mates and calm down I am still going to be your friend," I said turning around with the juice and going to pour a drink.
"What!" Kol yelled. "But you told me you didn't know," he finished angrily.
"Oh, yeah because I was so going to tell you. Hey, Kol do you know your brother's mate is me but don't tell him yet because he doesn't know and I think he would be pissed if you found out first. Because that would have gone so well," I replied sarcastically.
"Still could have said you knew who it was," he grumbled.
"Well I believe congratulations are in order," Elijah said calm as always.
"Thanks, Lijah," I said smiling.
"Does anyone else find it ironic that Klaus tried to kill his what will be his sister in law like three times or at least put her in a situation she could die three times. But also nearly killed his brother in law at least once," Stefan mused aloud.
"Ha well, Thanksgiving is going to be awkward. Although it would have been anyways," I joked. "Have any of you made food yet?" I asked.
"We were waiting for you," Damon said unashamedly. I just sighed and got to work.
A.N: I know that they accepted it quickly but if you think about it they are mates and Klaus has been without his for a long time and already liked her. Also, Val thought she would never find her mate as she wouldn't be able to identify them.
