Hey guys for now on I am calling Alyssa Ally when I write for it is just easier, her name is still Alyssa though.
Ally let out a yawn as she sat up and rubbed her eyes, she glanced at the clock that was on the bedside table, it was 8am; this was unusual for her, considering she is a morning person. She pulled the pink Barbie covers off her and climbed out of the bed, whilst still hugging Cotton tightly to her chest. She stood on her tippy toes and opened the big brown door, walked down the hall way, she started rubbing her eyes as she tried to get used to the morning sun that was shining through the windows above her. She held onto the railings as she walked down the stairs, she could hear noises coming from the art room.
"You know how I love to set things on fire" Rebekah smirked
Ally shook her head wondering what Rebekah meant by setting things on fire, she stopped at the entrance to the art room, placing Cotton under her arm.
"What things on fire" She asked as she glanced at Rebekah in a questioning look.
Rebekah let out an annoyed sigh "How is it, you are always appearing out of nowhere and asking stupid questions" She mumbled.
"For the record I just woke up and heard you say that you loved to set things on fire" Ally snapped tiredly. Her stomach rumbled, she still hasn`t had anything to eat.
"Enough you too" Klaus sighed as he placed the paintbrush down that Rebekah had just threw at him.
Klaus got up and walked over to Ally, he kneeled down to her height; "Are you hungry" He asked.
Ally nodded, her stomach started making more noises; Ally blushed slightly with embarrassment and hugged her stomach, slightly decapitating Cotton in the process.
Ally held onto Rebekah`s hand tightly as she skipped behind her along the foot path. She expertly dodged the oncoming couples who were walking at a far more leisurely pace than the two of them. Rebekah stopped suddenly and Ally accidently bumped into her. Rebekah scowled down at her, sending chills up and down her spine.
"Sorry." Ally muttered.
She looked up to see why Rebekah had stopped. It was an old fashioned shop with the name 'Madam's Boutique and Dress Shop', written in peeling paint above the door. She let go of Rebekah`s hand, stepped up to the window and ran her hand across the glass, wiping away the thick layer of dust. Standing on her tip toes, she peered through the glass to get a look at what was inside. From where she was standing, she could see the racks and racks of long evening gowns, some of them modelled on the multitude of mannequins. Rebekah opened the door and walked inside, causing the bell above the door to jingle loudly. Ally pushed off the wall and quickly hurried along behind her, before the heavy door slammed shut again.
Strong, somewhat over power perfume laced the air; Ally scrunched her nose. "Why are we here?" She asked as she jumped up onto the couch beside the rack of dresses Rebekah was looking through.
"I`m looking for a dress for a party I'm going to tonight." Rebekah explained, picking up a billowy white dress from the rack. She walked over to the long, wooden framed mirror against the wall and held the dress up in front of her. Ally let out a giggle, the mirror was very similar to the one in the little mermaid, the one that Ursula could see her true form out of.
"Oh." Ally said. She hopped down off the sofa and walked over to Rebekah, she stood next to her as Rebekah continued to look at the dress in front of the mirror. Ally looked at herself in the mirror, taking in her hair which Rebekah had styled into curls this morning and her knee length, sparkly black dress which expanded as she did a small pirouette. Underneath she wore a pair of black and white polka dotted stockings, along with her new black boots.
"Can I come?" She asked, looking up at Rebekah who had now moved back to the rack to look at another dress.
"No." Rebekah snapped as she sat the white dress back and walked over to one of the other racks.
Ally pouted and walked back over to the couch, she noticed Rebekah`s Louis Viton bag was sitting on it. She glanced towards Rebekah who was still busy looking at dresses, and then looked back towards the bag. She crept slowly up to the couch and opened the bag, taking Rebekah`s phone out. It was an IPhone, one of the latest models. A picture of Rebekah and a man with blonde hair and bright blue eyes popped up as Ally turned the phone on. She didn't recognise him at all, yet her mother seemed to be kissing the man in this photo. Ally sighed, looks like my parents aren't even together here… she thought to herself sadly.
Flicking through the apps, she found the camera one and opened it. She pursed her lips and brought the phone up into the air, placing her hand slightly under her chin as if she was blowing a kiss and took a photo. She could hear beads rattling somewhere, she quickly chucks Rebekah`s phone back into her bag and turns around to see an old Chinese lady walk through the door that was covered with hanging beads.
Ally quickly decides to play the shy, cute act and runs over Rebekah and hides behind her and sticks half her head out to see the old lady who was placing her glasses on.
"She yours" The lady asked and smiled at Ally who hid further behind Rebekah
"What" Rebekah asked quickly, she could feel something behind her, she turned her head to see Ally hiding behind her, Ally looked up at her and gave a cute innocent look, she smiled slightly and turned back to the old lady "No, I am just taking care of her whilst her parents are out" Rebekah lies.
Ally lowered her head to the ground and sighed, she secretly hoped the Rebekah would have said yes. The old lady looked between the two of them and just laughed, before returning to whatever she was doing before
Rebekah turned around to face Ally. She crossed her arms and looked down at the small child. "Ally, why did you do that?" Rebekah asked as she raised a brow.
"Do what?" She asked innocently, sticking her hands out.
"You pretended to be shy." Rebekah pointed out as she grabbed a black dress off the rack.
"Because it makes me more adorable!" Ally giggled and placed her hands under her chin and laughed.
Ally danced around her bedroom, grabbing every toy she had or could find and placed them on the floor in a neat little circle. She stood in front of them, puffing out her chest and attempting to look stern—which failed, and she ended up just giggling madly. "Today class, you are going to learn how to create a flower- magically." She told the toys, looking around at each of them with a grin.
"First of all bring your hands- or paws up to your chest like this." She cupped her hands and brought them up to her chest. Keeping her hands in the centre of her chest, she continued, "Then repeat these words quietly into your hands. Don`t forget to close your eyes . . . metika, melika, valla . . ." She whispered into her hands.
She opened her eyes and felt something tickling the inside of her hands. She opened them to see a half bloomed, pale pink rose-bud. She smiled and took the rose out of her hand, sitting it gently in front of her toys.
"What are you doing?"
Ally spun around to see her door wide open and Klaus leaning against the dark wooden frame with an amused look plastered across his face. She beamed up at him and raised the little pink rose for him to see, "I'm being a teacher and I am teaching magic to my class!" She informed excitedly as she pointed to her circle of toys.
Klaus rolled his eyes at her, "That's stupid."
"You`re stupid" Ally mimicked cheekily, crossing her arms
Klaus snorted and started to turn back around to head out the door, but before he could leave Ally ran up to him, grabbing his arm and pulling him to a stop, "Let`s draw each other." She begged, pouting slightly for effect.
"No." Klaus hissed and yanked his arm out of hers.
"What`s your name?" Ally asked; she didn`t want him to leave straight away.
"What?" Klaus frowned as he stopped and looked back down at her.
"Well you know mine, but I don`t know yours." She shrugged, of course she already knew his name, but she has to keep up her act if she were to stay.
He sighed and ran his hands through his hair, "It`s Klaus."
She looked up at him innocently, "Klouse." She mispronounced.
"No, Klaus."
"Kl-ous-e."
"Just call me Nik." Klaus sighed reluctantly.
Ally grinned and ran over to her desk, grabbing her sketch book and a handful of sketching pencils. She sat the rose down carefully before running back over to Klaus. "Can I please draw you?" She begged; her long, light brown hair swung around her waist in her ponytail as she bounced up and down excitedly.
She dragged him over to her bed and ordered him to down on the frilly pink covers- well Klaus wasn't really resisting that much, he couldn`t help but find it slightly amusing the little girl's antics. She sat down beside him and opened her sketch book up to a fresh page. She held the pencil up to his face and stuck her tongue out slightly before beginning to lightly trace the outlines of his face on the paper.
Klaus sat there watching; entertained by how serious Ally was acting, as if she were a professional. He knew it would end up being some simple little drawing of heavy, crooked lines here and there.
Ally continued to sketch out Klaus`s face she remembered when he first taught her how to draw, she was only four years old.
Klaus sat down beside his niece with a smile, "Okay Ally, watch me and what I do, then you will copy—okay?" He instructed, picking up his pencil.
Ally scratched her head, "Okay Uncle Nik . . . what are we drawing?" She questioned as she looked at her blank piece of paper.
"A rose." Klaus answered. He looked down at the paper and pursed his lips, he then picked a red pencil and began quickly whipping it across the paper, leaning it just slightly so Ally could see properly.
The white large door swang open, Caroline walked in with a plate of cookies in her hands; she placed them down on the coffee table, earning an adorable gasp from Ally.
"I made cookies" Caroline grinned and sat on the couch
Ally grabbed a choc chip cookie and took a bite "Yummy" She giggled and got cookie crumbs everywhere.
Ally focus her attention onto her uncle who went back to drawing the rose, she let out an annoyed huff, but quickly smiled for she came up with an idea. Ally mumbled a couple of words and picked up a pencil and started drawing, only it wasn`t her drawing it was the pencil, Ally was just holding it to make it look like she is actually drawing.
Klaus looked up from his drawing and noticed that Ally was good at drawing but it was too good especially for a beginner like her.
"Ally remove your hand" Klaus instructed
"Why" Ally asked not tearing her eyes away from her paper.
"Just do as I tell you" Klaus commanded
Ally let out a small gulp and moved her hand, the pencil continued to do the drawing that it was told to do. Klaus picked up the pencil and snapped it in half.
"Ally why were you cheating" Caroline wondered
"Because I wanted to be good at drawing just like Uncle Nik so I used my magic because I suck at drawing" Ally answered and tilted her head down.
Caroline let out a sigh and sat on the ground next to Ally and pulled her onto her lap.
"Ally it takes years of practice to be able to draw like Uncle Nik" Caroline explained
"But I wanna be able to draw like you Uncle Nik now" Ally wined
"I am sorry my little love but it does take many practices and several years to get to where I am now" Klaus laughed
Ally just scoffed and threw her hair back in a dramtic way like she was a little diva, Klaus couldn`t help but laugh and Caroline soon joined in; Ally just looked at them with a confused face.
"What`s so funny" She wondered
"Sorry Ally but you remind me so much of your mother when she was your age" Klaus smirked
"Really" She gasped
"Yes but you are more sarcastic then her at the age of four though" Klaus pointed out
"Sar-cas-tic" She pronounced slowly not truly understanding what the word meant.
"It means you like to make jokes" Caroline explained
"Oh, I do don`t I" She giggled
"Yes you do you little monkey" Caroline grinned and started tickling her.
Ally shook her head at the memory; she looked up to see that Klaus was starting to get bored.
"You can go if you want to" Ally suggested not tearing her eyes away from her drawing, for she started working on his right eye.
Klaus wouldn`t admit it out loud but he was intrigued in watching little Ally draw, but at the same time he had stuff to do. He got up off the bed and walked out of the room closing the door behind him, leaving Ally alone in her room to continue drawing in peace and quiet.
Ally noticed that Klaus had left, she placed her drawing down and ran over to her desk; she pulled out a piece of paper from her other drawing book and wrote on it, a message to her family. She then scrunched it up; she stuck her hands out and muttered a few words which was a spell that worked like sage to block off any noise in the room. She then muttered a spell that will stop Davina from tracing this spell back to her. She then pictured her grandmother`s house and started saying the words for the messaging spell, the windows flew open and a strong breeze came into the room, Ally could feel blood running out her nose, as she finished the spell she opened her eyes to see that the piece of paper had disappeared. She turned to see the door opened, her vision goes blurry and as she falls all she could see was Rebekah running over to her.
It was now late in the afternoon; Rebekah was sitting on the edge of Ally`s bed patting a cloth gently on her for head. For some reason Rebekah felt like it was her duty to keep little Ally safe even if it meant dying herself, she couldn`t even explain it out loud and she knew that it was stupid. She placed the cloth back into the bowl of warm water and removed a piece of Ally`s hair off of her face. Ally started moving around in her sleep and sweat appeared on her for head. Rebekah stood up in a panic, unsure of what to do. Tears began streaming down Alyssa's face as she gasped for air with her eyes still tightly closed. Rebekah knew she had to wake the little girl up; she leaned over and shook Alyssa's shoulders.
"Ally, wake up!" Rebekah shouted as she continued to shake her. "Alyssa, please wake up!" Rebekah begged.
Rebekah had no choice but to try and go into Ally`s head, she had tried it before, but for some reason it never worked; but there was no harm it trying, it was her last hope.
Rebekah blinked her eyes rapidly as her eyes adjusted to the light; she looked around to see she was in a backyard. She suddenly heard an ear piercing scream sounding from nearby. She spun around her eyes darting towards the pool area to see someone dressed in black holding Ally under the water.
"NO!" A dark haired woman screamed as she sprinted to Ally in horror. But before she could reach them, the witch holding Ally under stopped her; the girl fell to her knees, gripping her head in anguish. Rebekah gasped as the witch moved away from Ally to pull a stake from under her cloak; she watched as the witch drove the stake into the other girl, who Rebekah assumed was the vampire that was supposed to be taking care of Ally.
Rebekah hadn't noticed, but Ally had finally re-emerged from under the water. "LEAVE HER ALONE." Ally shrieked as she swam to the edge of the pool.
Rebekah suddenly felt a strong breeze, her hair danced around her face in it; she turned to see Ally raising the two witches into the air.
"Oh my god . . . she was telling the truth all along." She whispered to herself, to be honest she never believed Ally`s story about how she was a witch, witches don`t even get their magic until they reach puberty. But how did Ally have hers now, was what Rebekah kept thinking.
Suddenly the witch's necks snapped with a sickening crunch, and their bodies fell lifelessly to the ground.
Rebekah studied Ally`s face, tears were running down the little girl's face, she was shaking like a leaf. Rebekah decided to take action and comfort her, she ran over to Ally.
"Ally!" Rebekah called out.
Ally started running; however it wasn't what Rebekah has expected as Ally ran straight through her. Before she could even think about what had just happened, a bright light came out of nowhere; Rebekah raised her hand to block out the sun.
She let out a gasp and let go of Ally just as she woke up; Rebekah let out a sigh of relief. Ally started crying more as she sat up, Rebekah let instinct take over her and lent down, hugging the small scared child close to her body.
Rebekah sat and watched as Ally slept by her side. She glanced at the clock that was hanging on the wall, it was 6:30 pm and Rebekah had to leave for the party soon. She slowly sat up not wanting to wake Ally up, and walked quietly out of the little girl's room. She stopped and reached for the door handle, as she did this she glanced back at Ally. Suddenly she did not want to go to the party, she wanted to stay here with Ally to make sure she was ok.
But she had to go; she had to make sure that the plan to bring back Elijah goes according to plan. She let out a sad sigh and closed the door and started making her way to the party
