I was not ready to leave. Elijah had already announced the news to Rebekah that we had to flee. Even though I knew I shouldn't leave, I had too, but I had one last thing to do before leaving for good. Apologise to Charlotte and let our strange relationship part ways.
"Charlotte I'm leaving town and I know you will want rid of me as soon as it can be possible but I swear to you I'm leaving today, and I just wanted to say good bye" I said with my eyes watering, holding the tears back.
"You have no reason to leave" Charlotte looked at me with her eyes that I could loose myself in.
"It's other reasons, its complicated" I said avoiding the awkward questions
"I know what you are Niklaus" Charlotte said batting her eyelids
"You're a vampire" Charlotte said with out the slightest expression. Maybe she was one too.
"Are you a…" I asked whilst she interrupted my sentence
"No" Charlotte answer rapidly
"So how'd you compel her, the young lady…" I asked hoping she would know who I was talking about.
"When you have the power of magic on your side you don't need compulsion to get what you want" Charlotte seemed to know more information than I did. How could I be so blind, witches among us? It was preposterous.
"Witches, so you're a witch?" I looked at my feet in shame.
"No, not exactly. You see I am of a witch bloodline, but the bloodline ended with me as nature chose me for another cause" She revealed but left me in my own suspense.
Charlotte stated to close the door leaving me out on the porch but how could I leave after that?
I wedged my foot into the gap between the door and the hinge stopping it from closing.
"I cannot possibly leave so soon after what you have just informed…" I smiled revealing my dimples that appeared only when I smiled, which was not very often.
"Charlotte my lady, what cause, how could the bloodline be broken with you darling?" I asked intrigued to know more
"It was a very long time ago Niklaus, I had not come upon the world yet, but you see, I was to be a, sacrifice, to protect others from being in harms way…" Charlotte trembled but tried to hide away the fear
"Against what Charlotte" I asked whilst gazing into her eyes
"It seems as though I have said too much already…" Charlotte said whilst smiling at me comfortingly, soothing my thoughts.
"Farewell, Niklaus" Charlotte said seemingly heartbreaking.
The wind blew past my ears and travelled along through the door blowing Charlottes perfect ringlets of her brunette hair over her shoulder. Her irresistible scent passed through and I smelt her alluring aroma.
"Charlotte no, I simply cannot leave without you, but I simply cannot stay either" I pleaded
"Niklaus, I have developed remarkable feelings for you, so deep I could say I love you, but if you leave it's the end, we cannot have any relationship that reflects our emotions, it is simply impossible" Charlotte explained, however I still felt there was a chance for us to be together…
"Charlotte, I can see your not going to change your mind , but if others know about, me, well how could I possibly stay, I love you more than words could say I beg you, come with me" I said whilst to my knee's.
Charlotte put out her hand expecting me to take it. I was puzzled but I took her hand anyway, I could not resist. Her soft skin on the palm of her hand touched my cold bitter fingers, but the heat of her body soon warmed me up.
"Let's go for a stroll Niklaus?" Charlotte asked, even though it was more of an order than an optional answerable question.
I could help my self, I could not draw myself away from her. We walked…
