Alyson scratched at the scars on her back. They wouldn't go away and it was making her angry. "Get off, you bloody..."
"Sister, are you alright?" Alyson looked up to meet Finn's eyes. "Yes, I am alright. My back is just annoying me."
"Do you want me to get Mother?" She quickly shook her head and pulled her dress back up. "No, no, it's just... What will my husband think?"
Finn grabbed her shoulders. "Your husband, who will most likely be Niklaus-" She giggled. "-Will think that his wife made it through a terrible attack, yet she still smiles. He'll think that she is stronger than most. And he'll love you more than life itself."
She smiled as he hugged her. "You are wonderful, Finn. Thank you."

Alyson followed Esther to the lake. "I know you've done laundry before. I've seen Nik helping you." Alyson nodded.
"It's rare though. I'm usually hunting." Esther sighed.
Alyson looked into her blue eyes. She could see so much fire there. It amazed her how a person could care so much about her.

"You know you're going back in the morning," Klaus stated. Alyson turned her head to look at him. "I'm not too far away."
"But I worry about you, love." She turned back as she blushed deep red. Luckily there was the fire right in front of them, so he wouldn't notice. "Niklaus, I have a sister who seems to have some magic running through her veins. I'll be fine."
They stayed silent, even though she could feel the heat of his gaze on her face. She kissed his cheek and stood up. "Good night, Niklaus." He frowned as she walked away. "But I can't protect you," he mumbled.

Alyson followed Viktorya into her family's hut for the first time in four weeks. She immediately caught her mother's eyes. "It looks like I'll be needing to make you longer dresses."
"Yes, thank you, mother." She turned to go to her room and ran into her father. They had a small staring contest before he walked away. Alyson sighed and walked into her room.
