Dancing in the moonlight
Chapter 2:
Elijah POV
I was standing in front of Yale university, waiting to see the familiar face. There were plenty of students walking in and out of the campus. I spotted her the second she was in seeing view. People stopped and looked at her, they couldn't take their eyes of her and I couldn't really blame them.
She was beautiful. She was exactly like I remembered. Tall, long legs, slim waist, flat stomach and a perfect sized chest. Her neck was long and elegant her face was flawless, natural dark lips, straight nose and long, thick eyelashes framing stunning crystal blue eyes. Her long jet black hair in loose curls falling down her back nearly touching her waist in a waterfall of silk. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw me. Her eyes widening in horror. She shook her head whispering no and took of, sprinting down the street.
I shook my head knowing that she wasn't going to cooperate. I followed her easily until I reached a nice little house. I walked right in, knowing there wasn't any humans. I felt a sharp pain, I looked down and saw the stake right in the stomach. I sighed and pulled it out. I took hold of her arms.
"I liked that shirt." I told her. She glared at me.
"How did you find me?" she hissed through clenched teeth.
"A witch." I told her honestly. She shook her head, pulling away from me.
"Impossible. I have loads of witch's hiding me from him."
"It was the original witch." I told her. She grinned.
"So he finally revived you all." she said, smiling. I looked at her in shock.
"You knew?" I asked her. She nodded.
"There's no secrets in marriage." she said, her voice dripping of sarcasm.
"Well it's time to come back. Haven't you been on the run long enough?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"Not long enough. Maybe in a few thousand years I'll drop by for a little visit." she said, grinning. I spotted something at her neck. I pushed her against the wall making sure she couldn't move. I looked at the necklace with wide eyes. I remembered then.
Flashback
"Klaus who is this?" I asked my brother as I watched curiously a young girl hiding behind my brother.
"Lydia dear introduce yourself to my brother." he said stepping out of her way. She curtsied keeping her head down.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Lydia Salvatore." she said, looking up I was met with piercing crystal blue eyes.
"Salvatore." I repeated. How could I not of remembered. No wonder Niklaus hated Damon so much he was a male copy of Lydia.
"Yes. What about it?" she asked and huffed.
"Your brothers-" I began.
"He killed them didn't he?" she asked, cutting me of. I looked at her curiously.
"I dare say, you are out of the loop aren't you?" I asked her. I saw a look of confusion spread across her face.
"I don't talk to any supernatural being after all he does control most of them doesn't he." she said looking at the ground.
"Let me tell you everything you've missed. Klaus found the next doppelgänger, Elena Gilbert-"
"Gilbert as in one of the founding families of Mystic Falls?" she asked me. I nodded.
"You remember Katerina don't you?" I asked her. She nodded and grimaced.
"I had a little run in with the bitch." she spat. I raised an eyebrow.
"She was going to sell my whereabouts to Klaus for freedom but I escaped." she told me. I nodded of course Katerina would do something like that.
"Well right after Niklaus took you from Mystic Falls, Katerina went and stayed with your family. She made both your brothers fall in love with her, gave them both her blood and your father shot them, changing them both in to vampires." I told her. I saw her eyes water.
"You mean both my brothers are alive?" she asked me. I nodded, she smilied.
"Where are they?" she asked me.
"In Mystic Falls." her smile faded in an instant.
"They both met Elena and both fell in love with her. Klaus broke his curse and Elena is still alive. Stefan went back to his old days as a ripper to save Damon who was bite by Tyler lockwood one of Klaus's hybrids. Katerina then reawakened Mikael who tried to kill Klaus but Stefan stopped him in order get his freedom back, so Klaus then killed Mikael. After that Stefan went slightly mad and stole all the coffins. Now we are all back and mother wants us all to be a big happy family." I told her. She slumped onto the floor. And looked up at me with desperate eyes.
"So if I want to see my brothers again, I have to go back to Klaus?" she whispered. I nodded. She sighed and shook her head.
"I'll get in contact with them some other way. I can't go back to him." she said. I sighed.
"Wrong answer." I said. I then injected her with a dose of vervain in the neck. She passed out instantly.
"Sorry Lydia." I whispered taking her into my arms.
Klaus POV
Where is Elijah? I wanted to know. Mother's ball was in less than 5 hours and it would make her so upset if Elijah wasn't here. I heard a car pull up the drive, ignoring it I went back to reading my book, it was the journal I kept the first year I met Lydia.
22nd October 1864
Today was the most interesting day. I was passing through Mystic Falls, our old home.
I was in the woods when I smelled the sweet scent of blood so I followed it. In a clearing I found a girl in a navy blue gown sitting on the floor holding her bleeding hand. She looked up and saw my face. She didn't scream in fear but she looked at me curiously.
"Are you a vampire?" she asked me. I nodded.
"I guess my father isn't crazy then." she told me and smiled. I immediately felt connected to her and just couldn't bring myself to kill her.
I had asked her age which she replied didn't you know it's rude to ask a lady her age. I was startled and speechless. She only grinned and told me she just turned 15 so her father was looking for suitors which is why she ran of into the forest. She told me she didn't want to be married to a boring man. She wanted to fall in love and see the world. I granted her wish. I went to her father, gave him more money he could dream of and took her with me.
Lets hope it wasn't a mistake.
Niklaus.
"Niklaus come down please." I heard my mother call from downstairs. I hated it when she called me Niklaus. I walked slowly down the stairs.
"Mother please do not call me that. It's Klaus-" I stopped halfway down the stairs at what I saw. In Elijah's arms was my sweet Lydia. She was obviously unconscious. Elijah was carrying her bridal style and she laying limply in his arms. I just stared at her, I couldn't move all I could do was stare.
"Klaus. It really is her." Elijah said gently. I rushed over, taking her into my arms. Her face was so peaceful it looked like she was sleeping. She was even more beautiful than I remembered. I looked up at my mother and Elijah.
"Thank you. Thank you both so much." I whispered and kissed Lydia's forehead.
"You deserve happiness." mother said and started to climb the stairs.
"Make sure she is ready for the ball. Mystic falls is going to meet all of the Mikaelsen family." she said and continued up the stairs.
"You do remember who her brothers are don't you?" Elijah asked me. I looked up at him and smirked.
"Why of course. Why do you think I haven't killed them?" I asked him. He shook his head, smiling gently.
"What an interesting night this will be." he said.
"Oh I know." I said and smirked. I headed back up the stairs towards my quarters inside my bedroom I set her gently on the bed. I brushed the hair away from her face.
"Now that I've got you back Lydia, there's no running away this time." I whispered and kissed her lips softly. Before leaving the room. After all I had to find a dress for my beautiful wife.
I was just leaving the dress shop as I ran into Damon. I smirked at him.
"Ah Damon. I hope you'll be joining us tonight?" I asked him. He nodded, straining a smile.
"I wouldn't miss it Klaus." he said. I grinned.
"Good. I knew you would come along after all we are family." I told him. He gave me a weird look.
"I won't keep you. See you tonight and don't be late." I said walking back to my car.
The Salvatore brother's are not going to like this.
I returned home. I liked the sound of that, home. After all that is where the heart is isn't it? My dear Lydia was my heart. And she was here. I grinned I felt like I was on top of the world.
"Is that Lydia's dress?" Rebekah asked me standing at the door. I nodded.
"Is she awake yet?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"She's coming around." she replied, looking at the bag I held.
"There better be shoes and jewellery in there." she said indicating to the bag. I grinned.
"Of course. You of all people should know I love spoiling my wife." I told her. She pouted.
"I know. You use to buy her more dresses than me." she said. I chuckled.
"And that was before I even married her. You weren't with us the year we were married. She had gifts everyday." I told her. Rebekah smiled gently.
"She'll come around Nik." she told me. I nodded.
"I know." I said and walked up the stairs.
