Everyone cries as we stand around Henrik, His body now lying peacefully in the meadow. Ayana is saying something in a different language. I stand near Nik in the back. Elijah, Kol, Fin and Beckah stand in the front with Ester and Mikael. I grab onto Nik's hand his face is socked with tears, The rain slowly falls on us. I close my eyes and pray for Henrik. After a lot of preying and words being said everyone begins to walk back to the village.
"Caroline?" I look over to Elijah. He walks up to me and I wrap my arms around him. "You need to stay hear with Niklaus. You are the only person who he will let near him right now." He says kissing my head. I watch as he walks away. I feel tears in my eyes. No you can not cry Caroline. I look at nik kneeling at Henrik's grave I walk over and kneel beside him
"It's all my fault, I killed him" I look at him and take his face in my hands.
"Nik look at me. It is not your fault. It was an accident. You did not do this. Do you understand this is not your fault." I say as tears build up in his eyes and I wrap my arms around him and let him cry. I hold him in my arms like he does for me. We sit there till night falls. He cries into my chest and blames himself. I keep telling him it was not his fault but it is no use. I sit there and for the first time I don't cry. I'm the strong one and hold them back. Henrik would not want anyone to cry over him. He would not want Nik to blame himself for it.
"It's not your fault Nik, Henrik would not want you to blame yourself for this accident." I grab his head in my hands and watch as he looks at me. I feel the rain fall down heavy followed by the loud rumble.
"Don't leave me Caroline, everyone left me, don't leave me." I grab him and hug him to me.
"Never, I will never leave you Nik." I say as a tear falls from my eye "never"
...
I wake up in the woods next to Henrik grave. I feel Nik's arms wrapped around me. My clothes are soaked and freezing. Memories of yesterday come running back to me. I wish they could have been a dream, I wish all of this could be just a dream. I sit up with Nik's arms still wrapped around me. I can see his tear stained cheeks from last night. I feel a tear fall from my eye. "Nik" I say touching his cheek. I see him stir a bit. "Nik, you need to wake up" I say again cradling his face in my hands. His eyes open and stare at mine. I give him a small smile. He sits up and removes his arms from around me. He grabs on to my hand.
"It wasn't a dream was it?" he ask me. I shake my head at him. I see his face get dull. I push myself over to him. I'm practically in his lap. I squeeze his hand.
"Nik look at me." I command his eyes look up at me. I can see tears that he won't let fall. "Henrik would not want you to stay here and cry for him, he would want you to go on and live your life, do what you want, make yourself happy." I say, He nods at me and grabs me to him. I wrap my arms around him and stroke his damp hair. We sit there holding each other till everyone else is up and going about there day. We miss breakfast and I can hear my stomach growling . "Come on let's go get some food." I say pulling him to his feet with me.
We make it to the village in time to grab what ever is left. When Tatia sees us she runs right to Nik. She wraps her arms around his neck and weeps into his chest. I roll my eyes at her, she fakes everything and is just a fool. She looks over to me and gives a small smirk. I can't help but walk away or I would do something that I will regret. "Caroline" Nik yells for me. I turn and look at him.
"I have to go see Elijah. I'll see you later." I say smiling at him. He looks sad but nods me on. I walk over and grab some cold eggs and eat them as I walk to my hut. Hoping that today will go better than yesterday.
I enter the Hut to the sound of bickering. I look over to Elijah and Mikael. I stop and go to turn around.
"No Caroline stay, I was just leaving." I hear Mikael call out. I turn back and watch as he walks by me and out the door. I walk over to Elijah and wrap my arms around him. I don't cry, I don't talk. I just let him hold me in his arms. It does not feel like if did once. Once I would be happy to have his arms around me. To be here with him. But now I just want to run away and never come back.
The time speeds by, Elijah does not go hunting and spends the day with me. For once we talk. We talk about everything. How we are handling things, how we feel and what we plan to do with our future. I listen as he talks and talks and jokes. There is just something missing. I would of gave anything to have this moons ago but now. I just don't know anymore.
"So how is Niklaus taking it?" I look at his eyes there are full on concern.
"He will be okay with time, he will be himself again." I say, He nods his head
"I do not blame him like the rest Caroline" He says. I smile at him and nod my head.
"That is what you and your father were fighting about?" I ask, He nods
"That and other things." He replies, I nod my head. "I do not wish to see my family tonight at dinner. I would like to stay here if you would like to go you may." I shake my head and walk over and he wraps his arms around me and kisses my head. I don't want to go and see everyone face. I do want to see Nik, but I feel he needs time to be by himself and sort out what he needs to do.
"I'll stay with you." I say, he smiles at me and moves the hair from my face before kissing my nose. I smile at him and lay my head against his chest. Thinking about Nik while Elijah comforts me.
...
The sun peaks through the cloth right to my eyes blinging me. I get up and walk over to the blinding light, I move the cloth and walk through. I walk into the falls. I see wild horses grazing and running with there young. I rub my eyes and turn to go back through the cloth but it is no longer there. I turn back towards the falls and see Nik sitting in the grass. His back is to me and I hear the sound of laughter. I walk over and the closer I get I see something a small boy in his arms. The boy can't be older than a year. Nik's smiling at the boy showing him the horses. The boy looks like him, Dark blonde hair with small curls. Dimples and a smile so big you could see it from another village. I see his eyes go to me and hear a loud squeel from him. Nik looks at me and smiles. I walk over to them and sit to on the side of them. I can't help but smile at the dimpled child. He reaches his arms for me. I hesitate then hold him. I cradle him into my lap. He has my blue eyes and a smile to die for. I feel a tear in my eye. I look up to Nik smileing at us. I begin to cry out of happiness. This is my son, This is my son with Nik. I smile and laugh then kiss his head. He make small noises when I kiss him. I feel Nik wrap his arms around me and kiss my hair. He puts his head on my shoulder and smiles down at the boy.
"He looks like you." He whispers into my ear.
"No he looks like you" I say letting my last tear fall. He kisses me again. We sit and watch as the sun sets. The horses take there leave and we sit and watch the sun fall. I smile at the sight. I look at the small boy sleeping in my arms. My boy, my child. I smile and look up. "I love you Caroline" Nik says into my ear. I look at him and reply to his words
"I love you to."
...
My eyes go wide at the sound of yelling, I get to my feet and walk to the cloth door. "You are not to make a fool of me." I hear a yell from Mikael. "I raised you better than that boy, Even you should know that." 'what is this about?' I ask myself. "You are lucky I don't tell your wife, of you." my eyes go wide at the words. Tell me what?'
"Father, it was not of what it seemed." I hear a loud whack before jumping in my place.
"Yes all the times I've seen you it was not of what it seemed." He yells at him. I can't help it I step out from the cloth. Both eyes move to me. Elijah looks mortified, Mikael looks angry. I don't even say anything before Mikael leaves slamming the door. I run to Elijah and look at his face.
"What of that did you hear?" He ask my scared, I know there is something going on by the fact he is scared by asking me. I decide to not tell him what I heard.
"Only the end of it of being a fool, and of something not being of what it seemed." I reply grabbing a cloth and dipping it in water before rubbing it to his dirty face. He looks relaxed after I say that. "What was that about?" I decide to ask to see if he will tell me. He tenses up
"Nothing to be concerned about my love" He says, stroking my face. I look up to him and see lust in his eyes now. I nod at him and return to his cut. He kisses my deeply then whispers "I love you Caroline, I will forever always remember that." He says kissing me again. I don't know how to reply so I smile at him and say "I love you as well" I say as he wraps his arms around me. I feel a tear fall from my eye. But I finale know what I want, And this is not it.
