Chapter 5

If you love me you'll let me go

1839

Days after Klaus' attack she grew more convinced that it actually was a dream. After it they had gotten more closer. She continued living with them even after she had lost the baby. Katherine was the most considerate of Anastasia as she had also lost her baby, just in similar ways. "Hey, want to take a walk?" Klaus asked as he walked over to her from behind. She spun around to see him smirking "sure." She grabbed her cloak and dressed it over her then they both walked outside. When they got far enough from the house Klaus began to talk. "I know you trust me but I also know that you have had doubts ever since your dream," she opened her mouth ready to to refuse it, but she couldn't. It was true. "Thats because it wasn't a dream," her gaze flickered up to his face and her heart rate sped up. "Wh- What?"

"You heard right. It was real,"

"Why?" she choked out feeling tears well up in her eyes.

"I can hear your heart beat," He said changing the subject. "I can hear it speeding up. Thats because of fear, isn't it?" She bit at her lip, how was any of this relevant? "It makes your blood seem far more appealing, you know?" She was about to run but she couldn't. "Your blood is already more appealing than a human's. The heart pumps vigorously pushing blood around your body. Down to your wrist up to your head, up to your neck." He pulled her cloak back and she pushed against him causing her to just stumble back. She used that as an advantage as she spun on her heel and ran. She knew that he would easily out run her but it would still buy her time. She wimpered as she tripped on a small turf and fell to the ground. She heard Klaus chuckle then felt the cloak being torn awar from her skin. He lowered his head to her level and plunged his teeth into her neck.

After Klaus had bit into her neck he had fed her his blood to cover his tracks. He was running circles around his family and none of them even knew it. Although Anastasia was far more older than the Originals, she wasn't a vampire. Her agae didn't make her any stronger. She bit down on her lip as she sat on her sofa. "Kol?" she called and moments later he walked through and sat down next to her. "You called?" his smile quickly dropped as he noticed a stray tear fall down her face. "Whats wrong?"

"I have to go," his eye brows furrowed.

"What? You don't have to go,"

"Please don't make this any harder than it already is," she pleaded before kissing him ahard and passionatly. She pulled back and pressed one more soft kiss to his lips before walking away and leaving: Kol, Elijah, Katherine, Rebekka, Finn, Sage and Klaus.
