"Katerina, I have a proposition for you... because your sister had been unable to make it to my birthday, why don't you and your sister come over to my house tomorrow and I can hear more about you and give you a tour of my house that I have heard you complimenting about".
I started to grin as her eyes lit up, my plan was defiantly working.
"Me and my sister would love to come over tomorrow Klaus. Yes."

Bethania
"Katerina, why did you have to agree on you and ME, to, I bet, meet a very obnoxious lord that was probably just a flirt or as you say it, 'a god'!" I moaned to her. She was sitting next to me, in the carriage going down the long drive of, the Lord Nicklaus's family estate.
I was so annoyed with Katerina for telling the lord that I would willingly come and spend the WHOLE day in their care. I didn't even know anyone; altogether I only knew Katerina and some of Elijah after a 5 minute conversation, and I don't know if he's eve there.
"My darling little sister, you will be thanking me with this. He is the most unique person I've ever met, and I want to make a good impression on him, he seems very interested on me and I would LOOOVE for that to blossom into... something more"
"Kat, no offense but he's probably just a ladies charmer and you are the next in the long line to come that catches his eyes that would willingly fill... certain ergs...and we both know what happened between you and your last charmer." With that I rolled my eyes and stared off into space, whilst I waited for the carriage to pull up.
****EODC****
Katerina and I had climbed out of our families carriage which our auntie let us borrow, she was so excited that we had been called upon to visit the Redstone estate.
****flashback****
An energetic and too excited voice woke up me, "Darling's get up" and with that said my sheets flung off me and I was being pulled out of the bed by bony hands "we need to get you ready for the Lord Niklaus". I looked across the room and saw Katerina also being dragged out of bed, by servants working for my cousins.
I moaned, I didn't want to get up this early and I definitely didn't want to meet this lord. He would probably be a show off that would flaunt all that he had and try to charm Katerina as she was the oldest and better looking.
It was always the same Katerina gets all the attention. I usually didn't have a problem with that but it always came out with the same conclusion. Someone got hurt, mainly her.
"Girls come on, we need to get you in your dresses and do your hair."
Me and Katerina shared a look, hers full of glee, mine full of boredom. "Yes auntie."
With that done and said me and Katerina got into our dresses, Katerina in a dark forest green dress with hers hair falling behind her but a few strands being pulled to the back of her head into a plait. I was in a light blue dress that gently brushed against the floor but enough that if I ran I would have to pick it up. My hair was left down in its natural gentle curls but with my fringe being pulled into a small heart shaped clip at the back of my head.
"You both, look beautiful, now hurry and get yourselves into the carriage. It's waiting outside for you.
"Thank you auntie" my and Katerina replied. Katerina was first out of the room in a hurry, whilst I hovered back a few moments and took in a couple deep breaths.
"Bethania don't be scared you'll have a wonderful time." I forgot my auntie was still in the room.
"No it's just, I don't want to go, I've only been here a couple of days and I have already been invited to a lord's house. I just think he's going to be arrogant and have his eyes all over Katerina and in the end she will get hurt after being used and I'm left with a limp sister for weeks on end."
My auntie walked over to me, grabbed my hands and gently pulled me onto a chair "Darling, the lord Klaus can be arrogant, but so can all men. Don't hold prejudice over someone you haven't met. Just be the brave girl I know you are and its Katerina's fault if she gets hurt, not yours. Even If you don't want to go just act like you do, and try and make friends. Oh and if someone you don't like makes a move on you, just be that feisty little girl that you are."
I started to get up, "well auntie, I will go but I will not be a girl that follows the handsome powerful man about and does what he wants. I will be myself."
"That's my girl, now go downstairs and get in that carriage before I carry you over my shoulder."
We both laughed and walked out the room to the Petrova carriage.
****EODC****
Me and Katerina walked to the front door and were let in by a couple of servant's. We were then led to an open room which was full of the most comfy looking chairs and were told to wait. I sat down on a chair and started to look around the room.
It was basically a brown colour with lots of chairs all facing each other at different angles. There were also a few book shelves that seemed very old, but all seemed very eye catching, especially with the interesting titles which some seemed to be in different languages.
There was also a large open window that let in a gentle breeze, which was perfect for a warm day.
Footsteps woke me from my trance of looking around the room, as I turned around I saw, Elijah, a similar outfit to the other day but looking stunning in them.
"Hello ladies, It's a pleasure to be in your company again." he walked over to Katerina and brought her hand to his lips "Katerina you still seem as lovely as last night." He walked over to me and repeated what he did to Katerina." Bethania, it great to see you again, I heard about your good deeds concerning your cousin, shame really, I was looking forward with talking to you. Anyway is Christopher well"
"Thank you Elijah, it would have been nice to talk to you too, but yes he is getting better. I'm sure he'll be out of bed later today. I hope you had a good time at your brother's party."
"Yes it was a pleasant night" he flashed me a smile at this. "Now ladies my brother will be coming soon, he has to finish a task...""come now brother I have finished that task already, it took less time than expected."
I turned around and found myself completely still. The person in front of me was amazing, penetrating blue eyes and light caramel hair. He was wearing a white shirt with a brown open jacket on top, also he had brown leggings and a sword attached to his belt.
His walk was hypnotising, he was slow yet graceful. It looked like he was targeting his prey, a predator ready to strike. He also seemed to have intimidation flowing from his skin that tried to capture your soul, but also the mystery also appearing from him was drawing me into him. He was incredible.
Katerina walked over to him and he stopped. This also made my trance like state disappear and I had control over myself once more.
"Brother, here is Katerina, whom you have met already but also her younger sister Bethania. Bethania this is the lord Niklaus" the 'lord Niklaus' turned to us, and smiled greedily at my sister in a way in which, I was surprised that I did not like at all but not for the thought of her getting hurt. He then kissed her hand, which only made it worse. Thinking about only made me want to push these thoughts to the fact I didn't want my sister to be hurt.
But I couldn't agree 100% on what I was saying to myself.
"Katerina, I'm glad you made it, and to be in your company for the day. It truly is a privilege." He gave her a smirk, which made Katerina's eyes glow. I had to hide a scoff. It was all too predictable, the charming young lord seducing young girls.
"And you must be Bethania," he walked over to me, looking me up and down "the girl that didn't come to my birthday to help her cousin. That's a very honourable act to do. It's a pleasure to finally meet you" He gently took hold of my hand into his and placed a kiss with his cold, smooth lips but slightly lingering a bit too long.
"Hello, lord Niklaus, I'm sorry to have missed your birthday but thank you for inviting me over to your home. It already seems so beautiful to me, yet I have only seen a few rooms briefly."
I gave a forced smile to him and tried to sound as un- board as possible yet I couldn't really convince my voice to sound as 'excited' to be here like my sister. After all, I really didn't want to be here, and yet he was already watching my every move with a look in his eyes I couldn't figure out.
"It is fine really, you will just have to wait for my next party and come to that. And thank you for complimenting on my home, I'm sure you will enjoy being in it for the day." He gave me another smile, and started to walk over to Elijah.
He gave Elijah a pat on his back. "Well ladies, I will have to leave you in Elijah's company for an hour as I need to finish a little paper work. I'm sure that Elijah will enjoy taking you around the house and grounds." Katerina looked very disappointed to be away from Lord Niklaus, yet I couldn't be happier as he walked to the staircase he appeared from earlier.
I was definitely right with him being very charming but he was also seemed cocky and arrogant, what a perfect appearance for a lord, least Elijah was much more tolerable.
****EODC****
Klaus
I walked up the staircase slowly as I could still be seen from the guests but I quickly used my vampire speed and ran to my bedroom as fast as I could. I slammed my door shut whilst then sinking to the cool floor with my back against it even though I didn't really feel the cold.
Bethania ... beautiful Bethania. It's all I can think about, her intoxicating aroma, her seductive body, her flowing hair and finally those big brown eyes that I want to look at all the time and to have them only staring at me.
I got up and poured myself a brandy trying to resist the urge to be downstairs and bringing Bethania to my room and taking her hearing her moaning my name. I paced back and forth trying to figure out my obsession with this young girl once I realised I was getting very large at thought of this girl.
A smile lit my face as I figured the answer out. My werewolf side had finally found its mate. I knew this by my urge to protect her and keep her away from other men. I growled the thought of her being with someone else was unacceptable and I would gladly rip any man's heart out who looked at her a second too long.
It quiet funny really thinking about it, my doppelgänger's sister would be my mate. But this would also cause trouble because I would have to kill the doppelgänger which would upset my mate and could lead to her leaving me.
No. She would not ever leave this village without me I would make sure; I will just have to make her fall in love with me enough to make her choose me over her sister. I chuckled, I had finally found my mate, someone worthy enough to rule by my side and pleasure me whilst also being personally available to me 24 7, and also to have someone loyal to me all the time.
I would definitely enjoy this, especially with the show of sisters fighting over each other to have me, even though I know who I would choose with my eyes closed in seconds.
I stepped onto my bed and lowered my trousers to relieve myself of a certain growing pleasure, with thoughts of having a certain someone eventually yearning to do this job instead of myself.
My mate... my bethania... mine... forever.

Bethania
The tour was great around the house, it was truly beautiful, shame it was owned by that cocky lord Niklaus. The rooms were beautiful and the gardens were amazing, there was so much detail that made me think that this place should be fit for royalty.
We were now in the room we started in, and were enjoying some wine, when a shadow appeared from the staircase. And a familiar yet unwanted figure came into view.
"Brother, ladies, it is an honour to be in your company, after all that work." I sighed silently as I notices lord Niklaus watching me again, it was then I also noticed I was on a 2 person seat and it was the only seat available in our little circle of people.
He walked over and gracefully sat down, sitting a bit too close to me than needed.
"Katerina will you please join me for a walk in the gardens again." Elijah asked Katerina which made me panic. Were they going to leave me here with this lord on my own? Please Katerina say no. Please.
"I would be delighted Elijah." with that Elijah offered his arm to Katerina and left the room whilst I was now stuck with the lord Niklaus.
"Well it seems its only you and me now Bethania, though I don't mind it one bit and I'm sure you're relieved to be out of your sisters company" Lord Niklaus took my hand in his and turned towards me.
I pulled my hand back; I wasn't keen on his touch whilst with him flirting. "Lord Niklaus please do not talk as if my sister is an un-liked person coming from my party as it is completely untrue and I love being in her company, she is my closet friend and family member." I also tried to further the space between us yet when I shifted further away it only made lord Niklaus move closer till I couldn't any more, yet when I looked into his eyes all I saw was mischief and a little bit of anger.
"Please Bethania, call me Klaus I much prefer it to titles and I meant no harm towards yours and your sisters relationship I only meant it to be refreshing to be in different company then with your sister repeatedly. I am truly sorry if I harmed your feelings." I looked into his eyes again after feeling guilty of turning his words into something of a different meaning and could actually see him begging for my forgiveness.
Maybe I was wrong about Klaus after all.
****EODC****
Klaus
For some strange reason I actually wanted. No, needed her forgiveness over my stupidly put words. I hated to think that I would be the person to give her pain though not until I wanted her in agony, after all she was my mate giving me the right to do anything I please to her.
"There's nothing to forgive... Klaus. I was wrong to take your words into a incorrect way and to which caused this disagreement, let just put it behind us and start a fresh." Her harmonic voice ringed in my ears making me want to hear more of it and only for myself. Altogether though I couldn't help but have a true smile merge onto my face.
She truly was a miracle worker, making me smile. I can't actually remember the time to which I did smile and it wasn't because of her.
****EODC****
In the end I showed her my library, which she loved and shocked me with reading some foreign language books, just the look of her reading the books with her face unknowingly glowing from the light of the fire. It was breath taking.
Altogether, our time was pleasant with getting to know one another and gaining some trust with her. I also learnt a lot about her personality and about Katerina, which would definitely be helpful.
It was also pleasant with not being disturbed by Katerina and my brother and I couldn't believe how fast time came and went with Bethania, who has now allowed me to call her Beth.
Finally it came to the part of the night were we all said our goodbyes, yet still arranging to meet again at a soon date. My heart ached with the sight of her leaving and soon found myself with a bunch of girls in my bedroom trying to keep the pain of her away from me low with the seductive taste of blood flowing down my throat.
Oh today was splendid. And tomorrow cannot come sooner.

Bethania
I was in big, big trouble, I realised as the carriage pulled off and waved at Elijah and Klaus.
One mischievous lord had changed my entire opinion of him and altogether made me think of him more and more with the change he had placed into my head, within a few hours and altogether I realised
I was aching with want to be in his company as soon as possible.
Oh today was confusing. And tomorrow cannot come sooner.
