After extracting myself from that embarrassing situation I went home to my apartment. I wasn't exactly confused anymore. I knew I loved Klaus, and maybe one day I would be able to say it out loud. Now I just had to figure out where we stood. I mean were we dating? Could you really date someone like Klaus? Or were we just screwing around? I guess we would have the talk later. So anyway I walked into my apartment and I noticed a broken flour vase on the floor. This was odd, but I didn't think much about it because of everything else that was going on in my life. I guess in retrospect I probably should have paid more attention to it. Because suddenly in my apartment was three men and one woman. I wasn't exactly sure what was going on. Who and what were these people. I was going to ask but then the woman said," Olivia, we'd prefer it if you came with us quietly."
I replied," And why would you expect me to comply."
"It was more of a hope."
"Well I hope you're accustomed to disappointment."
I bared my fangs, but then I had a pain in my head. It kept coming over and over. Then I realized that I was dealing with witches. I tried to move, but the pain was too much. She must have had some type of telekinetic power because then I heard my neck snap. Then I woke up in a chair tied down with ropes that were soaked with vervain. I couldn't tell where I was. The same witches were staring at me. Now I really looked at them. And none of them were familiar. They weren't from New Orleans. What would any other witch want with me? Then the woman walked up to me and looked me over. She said, "OH good you're awake. I didn't want to start without you."
The vervain made me moan in pain.
I replied," Start what?"
"Well you are unfortunate to be someone that one of the Mikaelson boys cares about."
Great he always seemed to be the center of my problems.
"What did Klaus do?"
She laughed." Wait now you're screwing the other brother." Then she became serious again." No Kol killed my sister. And this is my revenge."
"Don't you know that Kol is dead?"
"I do, but that isn't satisfactory enough."
"So you gonna kill me to?"
"No, but you'll wish we did."
The next few hours were a blur. I don't remember what they were doing, but every part of me felt like it was on fire. Were they burning me? When I finally woke up my body was still burning. Everything was still blurry. Then the ropes were unbound, and I was scooped up into someone's arms. Then I was super sped out of there. I was put into a familiar bed. I could tell that it was Klaus's. He must have saved me from the witches. I wanted to speak, but I felt so weak. I felt his hand slowly move across my cheek.
When I woke up I felt dizzy and my skin felt hot. I was glad that it was no longer on fire, but I felt like I had a fever. I stood up and almost fell back down. I pushed through the pain and walked downstairs. When I finally made my way to the bottom, I felt like I was going to be sick. I heard whispering, but it wasn't as clear as usual. Usually I could hear everything, but today I only heard murmuring. When I walked into the room I saw Elijah and Klaus with concern looks on their faces. They looked at me like I was going to break. To be honest I felt like I could shatter into a million pieces any second. Klaus came to stand by me and he helped to hold me up. What was happening to me? Klaus looked so sad or was that pity? Then Klaus said, "Maybe you should sit down love."
I pushed him off me and took a deep breath." I'm fine. What were you two talking about?"
Elijah said, "When you found you the witches that did this to you were gone."
I replied," What did they do?"
Klaus replied," I'm sorry love, but you are mortal now."
My head was spinning. How is this possible?
Klaus continued," When we found you I went to touch you and you were white hot. And when I could finally touch you without burning myself I felt your pulse."
His expression look like he was in pain.
I didn't know what to do and I felt like I was going to be sick. I ran out the door. I knew they would be able to catch me, but I hoped that they would respect me enough not to. I ran as fast as I could until my heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. It has been forever since I have felt my hard beat at all and right now it felt like it was going to kill me. I walked the rest of the way back to my apartment. Inside were the witches. I wanted to rip their throats out, but now I knew I wasn't capable of doing it, so I just asked," What did you do to me?"
The female smiled and replied," I have given you mortality."
"Why?"
"Because Kol does not deserve to be reunited with you when you die."
"I could care less about him."
Then I said," Wait…can you turn others human?"
The witches smile faded," No, sadly our book went up in flames, so you are the one and only."
"Can I be turned back?"
She smiled again," You can, but do you really want to squander this opportunity to live forever. I mean your immortal life sucked, but now you can have a real one. Get married and maybe have a few kids. Just because I am putting this curse on Kol doesn't mean that you have to suffer."
Then she left. I hated that she mentioned children. Now I can finally have a child. I could leave New Orleans forever and be…normal. But I would have to leave Klaus behind. Could I really do that? I mean I could also have his child, but he's not really the father type. My head was all confused. I mean I could be turned again, but would I want to. Why did this have to happen to me? And why is one of the Mikaelsons always responsible. Maybe this is a sign I should leave. I turned around to see Klaus standing behind me. Oh no how long had he been there? Sometimes vampires can sense what a person is thinking. I really hope that he didn't hear my thoughts. Then he said," Olivia, I know how to fix this." Then he bared his fangs and sunk his teeth into his wrist. He grabbed me and I screamed. He forced blood down my throat. I couldn't believe that I was actually fighting him on this. It seemed like the clear explanation, but my body didn't want it. I broke free oh his grip and I pleaded," Klaus…please no."
He seemed confused." We can have forever again."
I was crying," Klaus, if you truly love me like you say you do then please…please don't do this."
That seemed to break him. He had conceded to my wish. I wiped the blood from my mouth, and then I fell to the floor crying. The wall behind me was the only thing holding me up. Klaus sat beside me and put his arm around me. Then he said something so understanding and sweet. "I can only imagine how hard a decision this is to make, but the decision belongs to you alone and I will support you as a vampire or mortal. Our love is the most precious thing to me. My love will not waver. Even mortals can love for an eternity."
