Freya woke up in Lucien's arms. The sun shining through the curtains. She looked beside her to see his sleeping form. He was so peaceful for someone who caused so much pain. Reaching out she lightly touched his face, running a hand down his chest. A tear came to her eyes, trickling down her cheek.
A few more minutes passed, she got out of bed and tiptoed to the bathroom hoping he wouldn't wake.
Freya's POV
I woke up with Lucien. What was I thinking? Shutting myself in the bathroom I leant against the door, my back firmly against it as I slid down it. I didn't know what to do. I just slept with the enemy, he wanted my only family dead and I just jumped into bed with him. It was official, the devil has my heart but I wasn't going to give in without a fight.
I wiped my face and took a deep breath. My mind thought of all the possible scenarios, I started thinking about my brothers, my sweet baby sister; how could I save them? Being trapped here did not help. I had no time. My magic wouldn't even save them.
The tears came, I couldn't hold them in any longer. Why did I have to fall for him?
Lucien's POV
I woke but I kept my eyes closed. I could hear her breathing then I felt her touch my face. I could tell she was fighting an inner battle. I only wished things could have been different for us. Maybe love didn't make us weak...
I felt the bed shift. I opened my eyes a crack to see Freya disappear into the bathroom. My love, my angel.. She really was beautiful but I needed to do what I needed to do and she couldn't even change that.
I lay thinking about the many ways I was going to kill the Mikaelsen's. I was particularly looking forward to ending my maker. Niklaus. Now there was no longer a sire link I could kill him without my own death. I smirking at the thought before I heard her and her small breathy sobs.
Creeping from the bed, only my boxers covering me. I pulled a pair of trousers on and made my way to the bathroom door, of course it was tightly closed and she wouldn't be willing to let me in.
"Freya darling, can I come in?" I stood facing the closed door as I listened, hearing as she sniffled, obviously trying to get the tears to stop but it wasn't working.
"No" came her shaky response.
I closed my eyes in frustration.
Freya's POV
I stood in the bathroom. Hearing him ask to come in but he couldn't see me like this. So weak and all because of him.
Putting my palm flat against the door I let out a pained sob. I heard him as he asked me to open the door again but I ignored him; my mind was conflicted. Always and forever... the notion ran through my mind but it only caused the tears to come faster. Until forever ends. The tears streamed down my face like a water fall now.
Lucien's POV
I could hear her crying. I felt an emotion I had only felt once before, over a thousand years ago. This emotion was foreign to me. I needed for her to stop crying. The sound filled my ears. All of my senses screamed out as I listened to her cry.
Raising my hand I placed it flat against the door "Please don't cry..." I shocked myself at my words, never in a thousand years had I felt so powerless and weak.
To my surprise I heard the lock click. She opened to door slightly and looked up at me through teary eyes. I gave her a small smile before walking closer to her. No words were said as I reached out and pulled her into me.
I could feel her surprise. She froze in my arms before accepting my touch, still I could hear her faint sobs as they began to slowly subside.
I could feel her hands heating my bare chest as she let me comfort her, if only for a while until everything went crazy again.
I kissed her hair and she looked up. She sought out my lips until I felt her soft ones on top of mine. She kissed me with need. I could feel her distress as her lips moved against mine and I kissed her back.
Tilting her head back, I deepen the kiss. The soft moan that came from her caused me to pull her closer before picking her up. I carried her to the bed before breaking the kiss.
Freya's POV
I sat on the bed looking at Lucien as he laid back. I smiled at him. Maybe I was fighting the inevitable. I climbed under the covers and rested my head on his chest, letting out a sigh. I felt him stroke my hair "Sorry" he whispered in my ear. I didn't know what exactly he was sorry for but right now I didn't care. He had many things to feel sorry about, like sorry for making me love him when he was the bad guy.
Somewhere in the back of my mind it occurred to me that he had the serum in his system so he would come back as the beast. He was not to die unless I found a way to kill him for good but could I really do that? I couldn't let my brothers kill him now because if they did they would be making him the beast and he would try to kill them.
Laying in his arms felt nice. My eyes fluttered momentarily before I heard someone speak...
