Chapter 19

Hours afters Baltor left I could not sleep, Klaus was in his own little bubble mourning his brother. From what I heard Kol and Rebekah were called to come back, the only sane company I had here for the last two days of my life if not less was Hope. I felt so alone in my own misery, Klaus seemed to avoid me like the plague. I picked up the paint brush, trying to at least finish the mural I had begun for my baby days ago.

"My Emilia, you should be careful you're with child."

She was beautiful, Red wavy hair that reached her lower back. Glowing pale skin, and these piercing blue eyes, she was me. The way he held her I envied her for it, they looked so in love.

The way he smiled at the growing child inside of her, how he stroked her hair. I wanted that, I wanted him because I felt as If I knew him and loved him.

The recurring visions only frightened me more but what really shook me to the bone the disconnection I was feeling toward Klaus, I envied this woman who looked me. I felt something for a man I never knew, and yet it was impossible to feel love for a stranger but it was because I am her.

Hope entered the room with a plate of beignets in her hand, a smile on her lips."I brought these, we can eat them together."

"Thank you."I took out a brush from the cup, handing it to her."Help me paint."

She sat by me, helping me paint the dragon I had drawn sleeping on a cloud. She took my hand out of nowhere in hers, closing her eyes.

She opened her eyes after a moment."He's looking for you Beth, you remind him of his dead wife."

Is it wrong to feel the same yearning?I love Klaus but lately, with the visions, I long for something I've never met, a soul I once knew. "Don't say anything about what you just told me to your dad, okay."

She nodded, taking a beignet in her hand.

Her words haunted me, he was looking for me. It was pointless to even try to find a man I did not know, but Baltor knew more than I did. I got up from where I was running out the door, I found the secret passage to escape the compound taking a taxi to Baltor's apartment. Fortunately, I found him there reading some books, he was surprised at seeing me.

He took my arm leading me toward the couch."What are you doing here? you should be resting."

I shook my head, sitting down on the couch."Vlad Tepes is looking for me, what if he's the answer to saving my life. Help me find Baltor, I want to find the man who was once in my past life."

He sighed, sitting cross me."Bloom, even if I found him it would be too late for you. Maybe not in this life but in the next, if you born once you can be reborn again."

"Tell me, was my destiny meant to find this man?"

He stood up sitting on the table in front of me."It is your destiny, someday you'll understand why all of this happened. It isn't wrong to feel something for someone you don't know, sometimes your soul never lets go of the past."

I reached for his hand, lightly squeezing it."I know you love me but I do not anymore, I care for you and I always will but every day that passes I feel so alone. Klaus is no longer the same, and I know I'm dying but."My voice cracked."I'll never get the future I wanted, I'll never watch him grow."

Baltor pulled me into his arms as I broke down."I wanted to live, I don't want to die Baltor. I once saw a future with you, I really did but now even with the man I love it's all gone."

He clutched tightly, I no longer cared I just needed someone to listen."It's not all gone Bloom, even in the darkness light will survive."

"There no Baltor, I'm dying alone. The person I thought would be there for me is gone, I feel like he hates me for choosing the baby."I murmured against his shirt."I thought I would find my true love with Klaus but over these days I realized Klaus was never it, I love him I really do but I feel like there was someone out there who was for me."

"Shhh."Baltor rubbed my back."One day you'll find him, and when you do everything will feel like you have no control over it."

He was wrong, he was so wrong. I was here in the arms of another man I did not love, but the man I did has been avoiding me. How could I blame him, I could have saved his brother but I failed.

I looked up at Baltor pushing myself away from his grip, I honestly did not want to go home."Can I stay here? please."

"Of course."Baltor replied, smiling."I'll fix up the room for you, I can stay here the night."

"If I go into labor between the 48 hours, do not hesitate to tell Klaus."I said."Maybe one day he will know about me, but for now, I'll give my life."

He stood up from the table, walking toward a hallway.

Maybe someday you'll know about me, you'll know you meant the world to me. I haven't met real love not till I found out about you, know that I've loved you since the day I knew about you. I will always love you, I might not have been there for you but when you look up at the stars I'll be there.

You were my hope in life, losing the chance to see you grow was the hardest for me. I loved you, and I will always love you my little Alexander. You will conquer the night and day, your name will never be forgotten because you'll be humanities hope. Maybe one day you'll understand why I decided your life was worth more than mine. My heart breaks as I write this if one day you find yourself alone know that I will always be there.

I finally know there is heaven beneath all this darkness, do not let the darkness consume you, my prince. I love you, always and forever.

For the next few hours, I spend hours thinking about what was right to write to a child, to Klaus to Hope, to everyone I loved. My time was limited now, at least the comfort of Baltor was well taken. For the moment I had some time alone to write as Baltor went for food and some other errand he did not want to tell me.

I've spent hours trying to find the right words but it seems I failed as there are no words that can make this easier on you, for the last few days of my life I felt so alone but with everything that had occurred till my death. I'm sorry for not telling you I loved you enough, I did love you but as fate told we were never meant to love one another. I realized it's time for me to finally find peace, the peace I've longed for.

For a thousand years you've roamed the earth, I'm glad I met you, Klaus, I will always be glad. One day you'll find someone who can love you more than I ever could, I really do love you and I regret not being able to save Elijah.

I've contemplated for days, having visions of life that were once mine and I know my life has only brought you pain because we were never meant to be. We've fought for so long, for a love with no happily ever after.

I've seen hell and I know there is a heaven, but I also know my time has come to finally find the peace I've longed for.

I'm glad I met you, I thank you, Klaus. Someday you'll think of me as a simple memory, do not hold yourself for my death.

Baltor walked in back from wherever he had gone, a brown paper bag in his hand. The smell of food filled my nostrils as he placed it in front of me."I don't know what you like but I did my best."

"I spent hours writing these silly letters but the worse thing is I'm not crying, I thought death should be sad and miserable."I said frowning at the letters scattered on the table."I cannot cry at all, I thought I would cry over Klaus but I cannot because it feels right not to."

Sighing, he sat down by me."You don't have to cry, the world asked too much of you, Bloom. I know you were meant for greater things and you are still if only you had met him instead of Klaus."

Part of me was starting to believe it, Klaus was never meant to be mine. We never meant to be, because all I've brought on him had been pain after pain."Maybe I was never meant to exist, I'm the monster parents tell their children about."

"You can't blame yourself forever, Elijah died and that's the end of it. You've given too much up for a hopeless idea of loving a man who has only caused you misery, it's part of nature to love man times. Love is not supposed to make you suffer this much, you were meant to be loved by someone who was meant for you."

I raised a brow."You?"

He shook his head, running his hand through his blonde hair."No, we loved each other but even I know I wasn't the one meant for you. Those visions were meant to mean more than you could comprehend, he was always meant to be the one."

The face of the man was fresh in mind."A little too late for that, now my only concern is this child. Time is just too short for me, too short to find answers for this man that never found me."

He took my hand, holding it."Maybe one day you'll understand, might you be in heaven or a spirit. I'll always be there for you because of no matter the circumstances you're a part of me. No matter who you were hundreds of years ago, you're my technical princess the one who taught me how to love."

A tear rolled down my cheek, he would always be a part of who I was now."If I'm saying my last words to you, I've always cared about you no matter who I loved at the time. You saved me when I most needed saving when I felt the world was too big."

I continued."One day you'll find someone, the world never meant for us to be together but if I could change time I would have gone back. I love Klaus I really do, but I feel like something is missing. Whenever I see myself in her, I feel something unexplainable. Is it wrong?"

"No, they say when you find the person who is meant to be your true love you can't describe it."

"Then I guess I'll never know,"I muttered to myself.

I promised, I completed. Yes, the mysterious man is Vlad Tepes aka Dracula. It only seemed fit to add to the story. And I love that Baltor is supportive, he's someone Bloom needs as a friend. Well as a preview I can only say I'm excited for you all to read the sequel. Why? because it finally provides some sort of normalcy to Bloom, one she longed for. It provides her a whole new view to a life that was once her's, and it finally gives her that one person we all yearn for. As I stated before Baltor will be a main component and anchor to the sequel, like a guardian protecting. As for now, that's all I can give. We are officially Three chapters away from finally ending this story. 'Dark Prince'. Should be uploaded by the end of next week. Please read it. I hope you enjoy the final chapters.
