I want to thank you all for your reading chapter 3 and I hope you enjoyed it. So without further ado is chapter 4 and joy.
Groaning as I reached over and smacked the alarm clock off of my nightstand just to make it stop that incessant buzzing. Bringing my hands up to my eyes and rubbing the sleep out of my eyes I lean over and pick up my phone. Looking at it and seeing the time. It's already past 12 in the afternoon I had pretty much slept the whole morning away. I can't remember the last time I slept in this late. Stretching my arms above my head as I sit up I look out my window down below I can see people moving about going on with their lives.
Something makes me chuckle I honestly didn't think I'd ever be sleeping in this bed again. I for sure thought i would've washed up on some shore by now if I wasn't stopped from jumping. I can't explain it but for some reason that makes me smile. Maybe knowing how close I came to ending my life is making me think a little bit different this morning. Swinging my feet over the side of the bed on to the cold wooden floor as I get up and head to the bathroom. Reaching in and turning on the shower and wait for it to heat up as I look in the mirror. Honestly I can't really put my finger on it but I do feel like I somehow am different. Maybe it's the fact that I almost did end my life or maybe it could be him, and his request for me to refrain from trying to end my life.
After finishing my shower I dry off and put on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt and some flip-flops and a toss my blonde hair into a messy bun. Looking at myself in the mirror again looking at my blue eyes. I had always been told when I was younger that I had such beautiful eyes and today I feel like I can see hope in them. Walking out of my bathroom after shutting off the light I head the kitchen and I start to make myself a toasted bagel with the orange juice when I hear a knock at the door. Walking over to the door and unlocking it I open the door to find a boy standing there with a fresh bouquet of daisies in his hands.
"Umm can I help you?" I asked looking a bit confused as to why he would be at my door.
"Are you Miss Niki?" The boy asked looking at the paper on his clipboard.
"I am but this must be some kind of mistake no one ever sends me flowers, can I ask who they're from?" He started turning the flowers as if he was looking for something.
"There's a card in them that should tell you who they're from I'm just here to deliver them." He says as he holds out the flowers for me to take. Taking the flowers from him I nodded as he starts to walk away. Closing the door with my foot as I hold the flowers in my hands I walk over and set them on the kitchen table. Looking around in the flowers I find the card the boy was talking about. I pull out and open the card and it reads "I hope you sleep well I would like to continue our conversation why don't you meet me here." Flipping over the card I see that it signed by Klaus. Turning the card back over to look at the address again this must be where he lives. Ok now this was just getting creepy why on earth would he send me flowers? What could he want with me? Now of all times my inner voice decides to say that maybe he was just messing with you last night did you ever think of that.
Flipping the card over again as I sat down in the kitchen chair, do I go? Well judging from last night I guess we do have a lot to talk about. Placing the card in my back pocket as I stand up I put everything from my bagel and orange juice back in the fridge walk over to the door grab my keys. I guess it's now or never. Pulling the card from my pocket again I look at address and then at the house in front of me. One of the biggest plantation houses I have ever seen. Hesitating at first but I finally worked up the nerve to knock on the door. It seems like forever until someone answers. I come face-to-face with the person opening the door.
"Umm hi I got this card this morning and told me to come here." I said handing over the card. He looked up from the card to me.
"This is obviously my brothers doing won't you come in." He said as he moved aside opening the door further for me to walk in. Hesitating for a few seconds before I finally worked up the nerve to walk through the door. Turning to look at him I see him looking at me wondering what I'm doing here as if he was gauging me to see if I was dangerous.
"I don't really know why I'm even here it's just the card came and I guess I just had to see what he wanted, I mean after last night it's the least I could do." I said as I looked down at my feet. Why am I feeling so embarrassed right now? I ask myself as I look up at him.
"Well Klaus is not in at the moment but your welcome to say and wait he should not be long, I'm Klaus's brother Elijah." He said as he offered me his hand to shake.
"I'm Niki and I guess I could wait for a little bit if it's not too much trouble?" I said as I went to shake his hand.
"Can I get you anything to drink, coffee, tea, water?" He asks as motions for me to follow him into the living room. As a follow behind him I can't help but look at the room so beautiful and everything and looks so old very vintage.
"Tea would be nice if it's not too much trouble." I said as I started to browse the books on the shelf. All of the books hardback they look so old. I love the smell of old books. Running my fingers along the spines. Reading each title as I move further down the shelf. I stopped when I saw one book your book that I have read got to be over 100 times Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Picking up the book carefully I open the front cover to look at it. Feeling like the wind knocked out of me as I read the first page.
"So you like to read?" He asked as he came back in to the living room with a tray for everything you needed for tea. Watching him as he sat the tray on the table and walked over towards me.
"I love to read, but this is a first addition do you know how much this is worth, honestly can't believe I'm holding a first addition Romeo and Juliet in my hands right now, this is a moment I can check off my bucket list" I said it started to smile closing the book I'm placing a carefully back on the shelf. Following him over to the couch I sit down.
"Well it's not every day you meet someone who is in the classics, you have a very good taste, and can I ask how you came to have meant my brother?" Elijah is he started to make me a cup of tea. I had no idea where to start or what to tell him. Do I tell him that his brother save me from jumping off a bridge? Do I tell him that I know that he's a vampire? Do I just politely leave and say that I'll come back another time? I decided to go with the truth I mean what harm could it do right?
"Your brother actually saved me from killing myself last night." I said is I looked him in the eyes. He just looked back at me like I had told him that I knew where the Holy Grail was. Is it possible for a vampire to go in to shock?
"Are you sure that it was my brother that saved you?" He asked as he sat up straighter now giving me his full attention.
"Ouch brother I'm hurt, do you not think I could do such a good deed and not for personal gain?" Klaus said as he leaned against the door way with a smirk on his face.
