Thank you to everyone who reviewed and followed! Here is another one. I wanted to give you a taste of the outfits my OC wears. Sometimes it is a nice treat to have a look to see. I will put a link of it on my profile for you all! Also when I type in italics it means she is reading minds again. Those are other people thoughts!

Oh and also I know I said some stuff about Henrik! I am changing that up a bit. Stirring up the pot! So whatever you were told is now a lie! But don't worry! I only wish to play around with the child's character a bit. In the end the outcome will be the same... The original family will become immortals, Klaus will be a hybrid etc.

Chapter 14:

He left me standing against the tree, my legs weak and shaky as he stomped off further into the woods. I tried to shake it off and catch up realizing something; why the hell didn't I just show him how fast I really was?

I was walking next to him within seconds, acting like I hadn't just used my ultra awesome supernatural speed in front of him before. I even stared off into the woods on the opposite side just so I could act a little bit innocent. I locked my hands behind my back and added a bit of a skip to my step. To him it would all look normal, he didn't just have me swooning like an idiot.

The part that was truly shocking for me was that I had enjoyed the fact that I enjoyed it. This was the big bad wolf. This was Klaus! And here I was waiting for him to take off all his clothes and run with me. Here I am letting this man kiss me. No one kisses me... Ever!

"How much further?" I asked him. Hoping that we had already walked far enough in to avoid any villagers. I knew we were a ways from town but there were neighbors.

Maybe I could admit to being a little anxious about getting this over with. Also I should probably perform my do diligence and learn about the homes and people around here if I was going to be here a while.

"I'm not really sure love." He smirked at me, that damn cocky smile! He has been using it for thousand years and it hasn't changed one darn bit! So there was a little of future Klaus in there after all.

"Well I would say this is probably enough wouldn't you? I mean I have absolutely no idea where we are going and we are bound to get super lost. Or at least our wolves might."

He stopped and took my hand pulling me towards him as he slipped his shoes off. He kissed me lightly.

"Almost time." He whispered. "I promise you this will be fun. I also promise you that it will not be the same as all the other times you were with that boy."

How had it suddenly just gotten so hot out here? It shouldn't be this damn hot! "We can't... I... I mean we can't..." I couldn't find the words as he pulled his shirt over his head kissing my lips again in a playful way as he smiled down at me. I can! I can!

"We won't. I do not intend to strip you of your virtue so soon love." He ran his nose down my neck as I ran my hands up his chest and wound them tightly around his neck, pulling him closer. "I want you to be truly mine first Peat." He ran a finger along my bottom lip, staring into my eyes. He knew what he was doing to me and I wasn't so sure I was into that.

My body was betraying me. My body wanted it. I could feel tiny shocks running from his finger and down between my legs causing me to rub my knees together, seeking a little relief. "Klaus..." I started to push him away as I felt the moon call me.

"It's time love." He slipped off his remaining clothes right in front of me.

Shrugging the embarrassment away I reminded myself that I had done this so many times with Logan. This was nothing. There was nothing wrong with my body. In fact I would say I was pretty damn hot.

I pulled off my dress and shoes as I heard Klaus begin his torture. At this point I knew I couldn't doddle anymore. I took off my underwear and felt the call.

I turned to him as my body betrayed all control, falling to the twigs and dirt below me. His eyes hit mine. Yellow and beautiful. I had never loved someones eyes like I did Klaus's when he was angry or passionate about something.

I would remember this when I got home. Most likely forever. It was the most intimate thing I had ever felt in my life time.

I wiggled my hips to get comfortable in the foliage I had chosen as my bed sometime after the sun came up, releasing a small moan. There was no way to describe how much joy I felt after becoming myself again. Even the feeling of dirt was incredible.

I felt Klaus's hand touch my stomach, gripping me tightly as I was dragged towards him roughly. I had a few small cuts here and there but I would say it was worth it. His head pressed into my neck. He was snuggling me? I never pictured Klaus as a snuggler before.

I giggled a bit as I turned over onto my back. I had a routine after a shift. 1) Wake up and roll in the dirt a bit. 2) Watch the sun a while. 3) Shower. 4) Eat everything in the fridge.

I stared up between the cracks in the branches and inhaled the fresh air. I felt invigorated. Just as I achieved maximum comfort I was tugged onto Klaus's chest and he was staring at me with a grin. Clearly a morning person...

Instead of freaking out like I wanted to I dropped my cheek down and sprawled out on him. I wasn't going to let the nervousness I was clearly feeling take over my damn moment of comfort! Mine!

"SO beautiful. Never seen eyes like hers. Is it to soon?" My eyes shot back open as I heard his thoughts pour through my usual barrier. "I hope my father doesn't ruin this like he ruins everything I love."

No no no no no... I cannot listen in on the guy I'm dating. Shit! Shit! Shit!

I shot up off of him and started to look for my clothes. I knew he could see it all but at this point I just needed a little space and to do that I needed clothes.

"You're jumpy love." He said as he slid onto his side. propping himself up on one elbow as he watched me fiddle with my newly found clothes. I ignored it as I lifted my arms into the outfit and allowed it to fall over me. I was glad that I hadn't chosen something that needed tying up. This was quick and easy.

"I know I uh... I seem to be worried about Helena and I think I should head back. Hopefully they have returned from the caves." I sputtered trying not to look at his large erection. He wasn't at all fazed by any of this! Goddammit! "Put some damn clothes on so we can go." I said tossing them onto his head hurriedly.

"Alright alright! I am getting up!" He cried out, lazily pulling on his pants while he still lay on the forest floor. "I was just enjoying the view." His face lit up, that cocky damn grin spread over his face. I loved that grin... Wait no I didn't! I hated that damn grin. I never knew what he was plotting in the future. I thought I had seen him check me out or stare at me longingly but he was never not angry at me so I could never really know for sure.

I had seen him that first day yelling at Elena, holding her by her neck and I hated myself for two days for feeling only attraction to him. I knew it hadn't just been his looks to. I knew it was the way he was. Confident and sure of what he was doing. What he wanted he took, for his family. He was strong.

That didn't mean I didn't hate some of the things he did. I did hate them. Threatening my family, killing Jeremy that one time... Killing Elena for his curse shit. Killing Tyler's mom. I hated those things...

Klaus had taken me home leaving me with my family once we returned. It had now been three days and I hadn't been into the village. I hadn't seen any of the Mikaelson's during that time. I mostly helped Helena weed her garden or clean the cabin.

"You look so bored today dear. Maybe it would do you good to get out for a a ride to the village. I know Truly isn't going anywhere but you can go without her." Helena said as she watched me fiddle with things. I couldn't even sit still, pacing around the house knocking things over.

"I should... I do miss Rebekah." I told her. It wouldn't hurt to just go visit would it?

"Mikael left to another village once the full moon went down. I do not think they would mind your company." She smiled to me. She just wanted me to stop breaking stuff.

"Okay Leny. I'll go. But just so you know, I could have fixed that bowl. Good as new!" I had dropped her favorite bowl outside earlier while I was fiddling around in the dirt. She was smiling through it all but I knew she was pissed.

I walked my horse up the walkway to the large hut on the hill behind the woods, slowly. I liked to get some exercise and I felt like riding a horse for half an hour was a bit sore. I wasn't used to it.

"PEAT! PEATIE!" I heard a small child yelling as I was tackled to the ground by Henrik. "You came to see me!" He cried happily to me as I flipped him to the ground, tickling him.

"Of course I did! You think I would leave and never return?" I teased. I watched the small boy giggle and flail around on the ground next to me. "I could never stay away to long. I fear I might be smitten with you."

"I knew you would." He said. We stood back up, I wiped the dirt off my butt and looked around us.

"If you are looking for Nik hes training out back." Henrik told me, taking my hand.

"I was looking for your sister. Where might she be hiding?" I asked him.

"She is watching them. I think she enjoys teasing them about how badly they loose." He smiled brightly as we took my horse to their stables. After the horse was away he took my hand and lead me the long way towards the training circle. He told me about his week and the stay in the caves.

"I am glad you were safe little bird. I wish that for you, always." I told him.

"Because you like me!" He said grinning still. Always grinning, always happy. "It's okay though Peatie, I like you to."

"Well then I am luckier then I thought." I teased as we came upon the circle. I could see his sister sitting on the bench watching the men fight each other.

"PEAT! Oh my goodness! I wasn't expecting you." She cried out, standing quickly to join me.

"Yes well Helena may have made me leave the house. I wandered around town until I couldn't bare it any longer. Here I am." I said sliding my hand over Henrik's head. "This little dude scared the shit out of me to. Knocked me over." I shook my hand around quickly, ruining the kids hairdo.

"He speaks of you all the time." She laughed. "Smitten."

"Yes well no issue here. Listen Bekah... would you walk with me a while. I am feeling rather restless." I asked her, trying to hint at having some adult time.

"Uh... Yes. Wouldn't you want to wait for Nik? I know he would love to see you..." She trailed off.

"Of course I would, but first a little time just you and me?" She smiled to me, "Sorry Henrik. We will return in a bit.

"So why are we taking a walk? Did something happen? Did my brother say something inappropriate because-"

"No! No he... Well I mean yes but that isn't why I wanted to walk with you. I just missed you is all." I told her. I had been spending more time with Helena and Klaus then her and I just wanted to make up for it.

"Okay well here I am. Now tell me how you did the other day... When you... You know..." She nudged me trying to get me to spill it.

"Not much happened Bek." I shrugged, not wanting to give away the kiss or the nakedness parts.

"That is a down right lie Peat! Tell me... I am cooped up here all day and bloody night! Don't you think I get bored. Tell me something real." She stomped her foot to make sure I knew she meant it. Pouting was something I wasn't used to from anyone but Elena...

"Well... He got a little upset when I told him about the person I used to run with, Logan..." She interrupted me.

"You ran with a man?" He opened her mouth in shock... "But you said..."

"I know I know! I am. I wasn't courting the guy. We were just two people who saved each other. Friends." I said hoping I hadn't made her upset.

"A friend who you got naked with and all the other intimate stuff that goes along with it?" She was still a little miffed.

"You don't get it Bekah... Where I come from it is different. I can be just friends with a man without courting him." I sighed, "This is getting really old for me. All the time hearing that my ways are improper or the things I am doing are inappropriate. I just wish I could go home."

"You cannot!" She huffed, "You would make me so sad and... And my brother needs you. You are the only happiness he knows now. And Henrik loves you..."

"I know I know. I couldn't leave anyways. It just isn't an option yet." I let the last part slip out.

"Yet? You are trying to leave? I cannot believe this Peat! You cannot agree to court my brother and then leave. He cannot and I will not allow him to have his heart broken again!" She started raising her voice to me, placing her hands to her hips.

"Look Rebekah..." I took her arm, pulling her closer to me so I could whisper, "I am not from here. This isn't where I am meant to be. I must find a way back... If... If I do not I am not sure what would happen to the people I love. I must protect them." Her sad confused eyes found mine as she tried to understand.

"Nik and I can figure something out for you. Maybe we could get a boat somehow..." I stopped her, putting my hand to her mouth to quiet her.

"No Rebekah I cannot go home on a boat or a horse. I need magic to get back. I am from here but I am not from now..." Her eyes grew wide watching me. I was so worried she would freak out at my words but I could only see her trying to process the words.

"You are not from now? I.. I don't understand Peat. Your family is here." She shook her head.

"No Bekah! Dammit you have to hear me! You brought me back here. I was sitting with you in your house 1000 years from now and I tried to perform a spell to witness your memories and you brought me here!" I felt my anger bubbling in my chest as I took a step back trying to breath a bit. "Tatia is related to me, okay?"

"I... I... I don't..." She sputtered trying to figure out a way this could be untrue. Some way around what I had told her.

"I told you everything the other day but I wasn't completely honest. Klaus can't know about this! I am trying to figure this all out but I am truly scared Rebekah. I need your help. I need to try the spell again." I hadn't planned on this talk happening... Well ever! But here I was trying to get home.

I knew part of it was me protecting myself from the pain that I knew would come if I stayed longer. I needed to be strong.

"How could I be alive in a 1000 years that is insane Peat. Are your sure you are okay?" She asked me, a strange look of worry taking over.

I couldn't explain it to her in a way she would get it. I knew that now as I reached out, touching her temple. I sent her a few memories of our future. Just small ones that wouldn't give anything away. I wasn't sure the future could be altered or not by my time here I just hoped it wouldn't be.

"I can't... How is this possible?" She asked me, wobbling a bit as I took her arm to steady her. It was disorienting taking on memories, even just a few. "You and I we... That was me... And Elijah!" She cried out.

"I know Bekah and I am so sorry but you need to help me before this gets out of hand!" I knew staying around longer would cause Klaus and I to grow closer. I knew that that would make me want to stay here and I couldn't do it. She studied me a moment as she collected herself. Her face still read 'angry' but I knew she believed me this time.

"Fine." She snapped, "But do not expect me to keep this to myself once you have deserted us all." She huffed as she dragged me by the sleeve, back towards the large house.

She had taken me in the back way and up to her room. We sat by the window and I sighed taking her hand in mine. "I am not going away forever Bek's. You will see me soon enough. By then I am sure you will be tired of my face." I told her trying to get her to understand. In the future I hadn't really known her but here I felt close to her. In one month we had only the two of us girls. It was different.

"I know I just wish you could stay a bit longer." She sighed as I placed my hand over her eyes and my own like before. "Close your eyes and think about getting me home okay? Please." I closed my own and pictured her house in New Orleans.

We sat there and sat there... After five minutes of nothing happening I pulled away from her. This couldn't be happening to me! Why wasn't it working? What was I missing? With all the power I was told I had why couldn't I do this?

"You're still here? Why didn't it work?" She asked me confused. "Did we do something wrong?" Her eyes dropped to her hands.

"No no... I think something is missing. I just don't understand it yet... I guess it means staying a while." I shrugged.

"Well at least I will have some more time with you."

"I just don't understand what I am doing wrong..." I sighed, dropping to her bed roughly, pressing my head into the covers.

"Don't understand what love?" Klaus asked me as he strolled into the room, sweat still dripping from his brow.

"Eww Nik! Get away from my bed you are gross!" She yelled, shooing him from the room as I continued to lay there, a useless lump of worry and sadness.

"Go change and come back." I heard her say and she shut the door in his face.

"Look Peat I know you are upset but you have to speak with Klaus about this. He likes you a lot and I don't want to see him hurt. Or you for that matter just please... Promise me you will talk to him and make this okay?" She pleaded with me.

"Yes I know. I will think of something I swear it. For now I need a little time to think." I told her as I sat back up and leaned my head against her bead post.

"Yes well... Do not take to long." She said, eyeing me with concern.

Later that night I was heading back to my home with Klaus. He had insisted on being my chaperone. Evidently a woman riding on a horse alone in the dark was not only dangerous but also unheard of. I had no choice.

"Thanks for being my big bad protector." I said as he hopped on the horse behind me, taking the lead by wrapping his arms around my waist. "I could have done it alone but I understand your reluctance."

"Where you come from they may not care about your safety, but I do. I would not allow you to do this if we were married." He said.

Married was not an option, not now and not ever. I wasn't staying long enough for that and in our future he wasn't the type to care bout anyone but his family, so no. No marriage.

"Yes well we aren't married. But I respect your ways... I just wish you could all trust me." I said, wishing things might have been different. Wishing that I had seen his past and ended up safely back in the window seat with Rebekah.

I leaned back into his chest and got comfortable as he lead us through the village. I hadn't realized it yet but he was showing people that I was his by doing it. It was a show for everyone so he could let them know we were courting.

"We could have taken the back road?" I asked, trying to get him to admit to it. "It would have been quicker to."

"Yes well if we took the back way then my fathers people wouldn't know that you belong to me. I want them to know you are mine. I want them to know I intend to marry you." He said, like it was not a big deal. Like we both were heading in that direction.

I knew he felt my body stiffen as he said marriage again but honestly I couldn't help it. I didn't understand this Klaus. I didn't understand knowing you wanted to marry someone after only a month of knowing them.

"You do not want to marry me?" He asked looking down form the path ahead and to me. I could see the worry there and my heart skipped a beat. I felt awful. I knew I wanted this man. I knew that I felt more for him in one month then anyone in my lifetime. But I was only eighteen. I was away from everyone for four years. I just wanted a bit of freedom.

"It has only been one month. How can you know you wish to spend your life with me?" I asked him. He had to know I needed time. Time that was basically non existent. "You don't even really know me."

"We changed together Peat... I know you." He said it like he was one hundred percent sure. No question that I was the one for him.

"You may think you do but really we haven't said much to each other." I argued. He really hadn't asked me anything about myself.

"Those things will come in time. I know every bloody thing I learn is only going to make me like you more." He let go of the lead with one hand and wrapped it around my waist. Leaning into my ear he whispered, "I can hear your heart when you are this close to me. I feel it beat faster each time we touch."

I sighed, he could hear my damn heart! I couldn't fight with that. I knew I could hear his but I hadn't even been listening. Wolfy senses.

"I do like you." I whispered back, leaning my head back to look up at him. "I just think we need to take it slow. No talk of marriage yet."

He didn't answer but I heard him grunt. He was most likely upset about it but I knew he would get over it. I wasn't promising my life to anyone this early! No freakin way.

The weeks flew by. I still was unable to activate the spell that brought me here. Rebekah had been coming to see me every few days now with Elijah or Kol. It had been three whole weeks since I had seen Klaus. He wrote to me a few times but I didn't see his face.

Today Rebekah was over to sit with me for the hundredth time to try to send me back. Still unable to get it right.

"You have tried enough times already Peat. I think it best if you stop trying to leave and just embrace your new life here." She smiled sadly. "Come with me tonight and stay with us again. Papa has invited you."

"I won't give up yet. I know I can do this I just need to keep trying. Besides, I don't think it a great choice to stay with you... Your brother has been away from me for weeks. I do not think he wishes to see me." I told her. I didn't want to annoy anyone. If he was done with this or upset then it only made it easier for me to leave.

"He is not doing it to you on purpose. Didn't he say in the letters that father has not been allowing him to leave the house?" She asked me. "He didn't even know Klaus was sending you letters or he would have been upset."

I had no idea he had been sneaking them to me. I felt a wave of relief wash over me as I looked over to Helena who had been sitting in on our talk.

"What are you looking at me for child? You can go I would not stop you." She smiled as she puffed on her pipe. Truly and Fredrick had been in the fields all day and she was having a great time breaking the rules.

"Frik! Alright well... I guess so..." I said, caving. I did miss him even if I didn't want to admit it. The longer I was here the more I wanted to stay. I had to decide if it was really time for me to give up and live my life. How long would be acceptable?

"Why is he letting me go now? If Klaus has been told not to come here?" I asked, I wondered what Mikael was planning. I would always wonder.

"Klaus was in trouble for helping Elijah sneak away to see Tatia. Father hates Tatia..." She said quietly.

"You are not telling me everything Bekah." She looked sad and scared. I knew Mikael was cruel and I knew grounding Klaus was a weak punishment and not his style.

"I shouldn't say anything Peat. He told me to tell you that he wishes for you to come." She shifted uncomfortably in her seat while she watched me pack some clothes.

"Tell me or I am staying home." I said crossing my arms over my chest and stalling.

"He hurt him. My father beat him..." She said looking around nervously. "He was in an awful state."

"Why would he wish you to keep that quiet? He beats him often enough. It isn't like I am unaware of that." I went back to packing. Every time I thought about what Mikael did to his son I cringed. My heart hurt.

"It was different this time Peat. He almost died." She whispered shame written over her soft features. She thought this was her fault as well.

"Why didn't you tell me! Why have you waited three weeks?" I yelled at her. Rage took over and I could feel it fighting me.

"Look calm down okay? I was doing what he wanted. He didn't want you to worry." She argued.

"I don't give a fuck Bekah! You should have come and got me! He could be dead! Then how would I say good bye!" I yelled as everything around us lifted five feet from the floor and floated there for a moment then crashed to the dirt floor. I felt my blood change as the magic took over.

As soon as everything hit the floor I stopped, reining it in. Rebekah looked terrified as she began to get up from the chair. Helena just sat there watching me, waiting for me to apologize.

"Sorry. Oh my gods! I didn't mean to Lena!" I started frantically picking things up and placing them in random spots that I felt where better then the floor. "I haven't been using magic lately and I just... I just lost it."

"Stop! Just stop!" Helena said, getting out of the chair. "Go! Take your bags and go to see that boy. I will take care of this." She said shooing Rebekah and I out the door.

We rode on towards her house silently. I think I may have made her a little angry with me but I had been to emotional at that point to control it. To say I hadn't been feeling hungry lately and lazy with my magic would be a lie.

The hunger pangs that I felt were unbearable at times and I would find myself stuffing my face with things in the hopes that it was sate me.

"I am sorry. I do not know why I did that. I was just so angry in that moment." I said to her.

"It is alright Peat. I just wasn't expecting it. You say that you cannot be with my brother but I see you feel something for him. I just hope always that you will stay. That you would change your mind." She sighed as we rode on.

"I do care for Klaus. I... I think that maybe I will stop looking for a way back. I might have been wrong about being able to." I tried to make it better. I wanted our friendship. I wanted her brother. I wanted to see the face of their small brother who I adored.

"But you said you could not give up? You said that you were changing history." She reminded me.

"I know I said those things. But I have done everything right. If the magic doesn't work then I cannot change that." I shrugged, smiling as I turned to watch her reaction.

"So you are staying? You aren't going to try to leave us anymore!" She shrieked at me. "You can marry Nik now and be my sister!"

"I never said I was marrying anyone Rebekah! In my time we wait a long time for that kind of commitment. And we usually aren't so young!" I scolded her trying not to laugh with her.

"Yes but you are in our time now! You must follow our ways to fit in!" She was still shrieking happily. "I am so happy!"

We got to her house right before dark. Kol had greeted us at the gates and walked my horse to the stables. Elijah welcomed in the door and took my bags.

"PEATIE! You have no idea how long I have been waiting to see you! It felt like forEVER." Henrik said as he threw his arms around my waist. Every time I saw him he had grown just a little.

"Yes well here I am. As always." I grinned. "I hope you have been practicing your sparing? I would enjoy a roll in the dirt." I messed up his hair as I usually did.

"My brothers make me practice." He sighed as Klaus walked in. I could still see minor proof of bruising on his chin and above one eye but over all he was looking healthy. His eyes met mine and immediately he knew that I knew. Henrik took the hint we gave as he tromped off down the hall leaving Klaus and I alone.

I walked to him and took his head in my hands, turning it this way and that, inspecting him. His eyes had grown soft as he watched me. I wanted to murder his father!

"I am fine love. No need to worry." He said taking my hands in his own. "The wolf heals me quickly." He whispered to me as he kissed my cheek.

"I know I just wish I had known sooner. I don't know what I would have done to your father if he had killed you." I told him, nuzzling into his hands.

He pulled me into his arms and hugged me, shifting my hair from my shoulder he placed a soft kiss there. "I am fine. Everything is fine." He assured me. "I am glad that you came to visit us."

"Yes well it isn't like Rebekah gave me much choice." I grinned. "Also I may or may not have smashed a bunch of stuff before we left.."

"Ah. Well then you may hide out here as long as you wish."

TO BE CONT
