Chapter 13

We had arrived in New Orleans, things here hadn't changed. Everything was the same, beautiful and no longer sunny at the moment. Vlad lightly squeezed my hand, I glanced up at him. Only three days and we would be out of here, three days of possibly running into the Mikaelson's.

"I must go signs some papers, do you want to accompany me or stay here for a while?"Vlad asked, stopping his tracks.

I could go get the children gifts, and find Vincent."I think I'm going to stay here, get the children gifts. Be careful."

He chuckled, leaning down to kiss me. My hands automatically slid up around his neck, after a minute he pulled away."Don't do anything that will lead to trouble, I'll see you in an hour or two."He kissed my forehead before leaving me alone.

I stood there watching him disappear into the crowd, I honestly only came here for him and to see Alaric. After this, I hope to never come back here, away from the darkness that this place provides.

I felt someone's presence behind me, I sighed."If it isn't the Mikaelson I least wanted to see on my short trip."I murmured, walking away from him toward a shop.

I could hear the footsteps behind me."You know, I heard that."

I entered the shop looking at the souvenirs for the children, I grabbed a doll. A cross landed in my hands, I glared at Niklaus."You do know I'm married, and your stupid little messages are moronic."

"Oh come on love, I'm only here to enjoy the company."He smirked, handing me something else. A bear."Might I ask why the toys?"

I didn't allow him to bother me. Holding myself as confident as possible."Actually, I help out at the local orphanage where's I'm living, and I wanted to bring them presents."

He nodded, a small smile forming on his lips.

This man was a pain in the ass, and a danger to Vlad."Well thank you for your company, I must leave. Vlad is waiting for me."

"You know that's a lie, your prince said an hour or two."

"Excuse me,"I scoffed."How dare you listen to private conversations? Haven't you heard about privacy?"I tossed the bear at him.

He grinned, holding the bear up in defense.

"Oh but I have, it's not my fault I can hear more than most people."

"Most people have manners,"I muttered back.

He appeared in front of me."Why must you fear me? Have I done anything to upset you in the last few minutes?"

"You're dangerous, and You're a threat to the man I love."I answered bitterly."It would be best you leave me to be these last few days I'm here."

"Do you love him that much?"Klaus inquired, placing the bear in my hand.

"More than you could ever comprehend."

Confusion struck me when I saw the hurt lingering in his eyes, it was this pain I could simply not explain.

"I understand your circumstances."

I looked away from him, grabbing another item."The mother of your deceased son, right?"

"Yes."He said, painfully.

I walked toward the cashier, paying the items and leaving the area. I walked toward the flower stand, choosing some red roses for Vlad. Later, after choosing the flowers and walking around for an hour I felt a hand on waist.

I tensed up for a second, till I realized it was Vlad."I'm sorry, I saw a beautiful woman standing by me. And I asked myself, where's her husband?"

"He's supposed to be here any minute now."

His other hand caressed my cheek."He's missing on everything then."He spun me around, capturing my lips. He pulled away."Sotia mea, might I remind you displays of public affection are frowned upon."

I rolled my eyes, ignoring his comment.

"Do you want to go home or stay here and explore?"

I smiled, planting a kiss on his jawline."I don't know, I must wait for my husband."I walked away from him toward a tree by the park.

I felt his hands around my waist, planting butterfly kisses on my neck from behind me."Vlad!"I giggled.

He stopped, spinning me around."Did you get everything you need for the children?"

I started to feel a bit nauseous, the urgency to throw up. I dismissed it quickly."Yes."

"Elizabeth, actually I must inform you about a dinner the Mikaelson's decided to invite us."I could sense the dread in his voice.

I placed my hands around his neck, stopping our tracks."Whatever they want we will find out, you're Dracula. The only ones who should be scared are the Mikaelson's, I trust they won't do anything."Vlad was stronger, not because of age but because of the species of vampire he is."If things get bad, we will leave. I'm not losing you again."

"And I will never leave your sight, my love."His thumb stroke my cheek.

"Then we shall join them for dinner with Renfield."I grinned.

I was more nervous inside than I was actually showing. I knew Vlad well Vlad was a better match than the Mikaelson's, yet I still worried for his safety, not mine.

We walked around the French Quarter for a while grabbing lunch in the process which did not settle with me today oddly enough, when I got home I went to rest for a while in our room before dinner with the Mikaelson's although my nap was short lived. I shot up immediately running toward the bathroom, I knelt by the porcelain toilet vomiting. What was wrong with me? I couldn't be, that's impossible. Or is it?

Disclaimer: I do not own WC or any character involved.

What could it be? Well for the obvious matter. I won't say but I'm guessing all of you will guess the correct answer. As far as The Order Of the Dragon goes, there are future plans toward it. A new world shall be born from one built on destruction. I have much editing to do and chapters to redo and working on college assignments among them working on the last installment of Dark series. As stated before, the reign as the protagonist will go to someone else in The Dark series. Or I might take a whole new direction in this story, two dragons will be born only to die and bring to life the dragon that will change the world. For now you will not understand the meaning, but later on, in the sequels, you will. In Bloom's blood, dragon blood in her veins. I'm also using a bit of the House Targaryen history into Bloom's, as Daenary's and Bloom are similar in a way.
