Chapter 2
The next day Nik was going to fo meet with Caroline by the woods since they were now friends. On his way to the woods he bumped with someone.
"Im sorry i wasnt lo-" he trailed off as he gaze at the woman infront of him. She was beautiful -not like Caroline ofcourse but Caroline didnt had a body like that.
The girl smirked obviously noticing that the boy was checking her out. "Its rude to stare you know"
He nodded "S-sorry"
"Its okay, hi im lady Katherine Pierce" she introduced herself and Nik looked at her "Im Nik" he answered shortly
"A pleasure to meet you Nik" she winked and walked away swaying her hips in her dress that did justice to all of her curves.
Klaus felt a tingly sensation in the lower part of his abdomen as he stared at the girl he just met, Katherine Pierce.
He shook his head out of any dirty thought of Katherine Pierce and went to meet with Caroline in the woods.
She was sitting by the edge of the river looking at the colorful flowers that grew by the shore.
"Did you know that they are like a tizillion of flowers in the world?"
He chuckle and sat next to her "Did you know that tizillion is not a real word?"
She rolled her eyes and then turned her attention to him "Nik, why did you said that you lived with Alaric and Isobel and you didnt called them your parents?"
Nik looked at her and sighed "its complicated. My parents abandoned me for reasons Alaric and Isobel didnt wanted me to know and they say that i was given to them so they could raise me as their own"
She nodded "Dont you miss them? Your real mother and father?"
By this time he was playing with his fingers trying to distract himself from her question, he hated telling anyone about how his real family abandoned him but with Caroline it seemed so easy.
"You cant miss something that you never had" he said short and wiped a single tear that threatend to fall "Okay change of subject, do you wanna go for a swim?"
She nodded rapidly "Yes!"
They spent the rest of the day in the river splashing at each otger and having a good time until sundown and they knew they had to go home soon.
Nik said goodbye to her and made his way back home as his clothes dried by itself.
When be reached the front of his shack the door was opened and he ran inside only to bump into something and fall. He stood up and gasped as he took in the scene of what had happened on his absence.
"Alaric? Isobel? Lexi?" he looked at them or at their dead bodies that were laying on the ground along with a pool of blood. He was feeling too overwhelm and before he could think straight he just started running far away from the place he once called home.
He went to the woods and lay beside the river where he cried himself to sleep. How could this be happening again? He felt abandoned once again, even if he knew that they had been killed he was too selfish.
The next morning he felt something shaking him and a familiar voice. He slowly opened his eyes and saw the mess of blonde curls he called friend "Caroline?"
"Nik what are you doing in the woods? Its dangerous!" she scold him and he held the urge to roll his eyes at her.
Uconciously he looked down before he spoke "They were murdered, by the king's guards yesterday and i was too scared to spend the night there so i came here"
"Come" she stretch out her hand to him and he looked at it puzzled but before he could ask, she cut him off "You are living with me now, if you want to you can help my mom woth her vegetables stand and you can live with us!"
He smiled slightly, genuily happy for her offer and took her hand. A decision that changed his liffe forever. A decision that turned out to be the best thing in his life.
On his sixteenth birthday Nik was considered a man but on Caroline's mother's eyes he still was that boy she learned to love. That morning Elizabeth had prepared a small breakfast feast in his honor to celebrate that important milestone.
They all sat together by the wooden table and ate as a family, they even prayed and although Nik wasnt religious he learned to give thanks for what he had.
After breakfast Nik returned to where he slept to look for something and surprisingly saw Caroline there.
"Hi"
"Hey, what are you doing here Carebear?" he said as he changed his thin shirt
"Oh nothing" she smiled innocently "Maybe to give the 'man' a present"
He turned and looked at her confused and before he could speak she stretch her hand forward and he smiled.
"its the beads necklace from the market" he said as he looked at the necklace in her hand.
She smiled and nodded "I know. Ive seen you look at it everytime so i saved a few coins and bought it"
He smirked and hugged her "Thank you so much Caroline, i love you"
She hugged him back "i love you too Nik, now put on my present" she said as she gave him the necklace and he put it on.
He kissed her cheek "Thanks, ill be back before lunch"
"Where are you going?"
"Katherine told me yesterday to meet her today after breakfast by the river"
She nodded "okay, see you then" she smiled and he walked out to meet with Katherine.
After they had met two years ago they became friends but sometimes Katherine couldnt stabd Caroline. She said that she was too young and childish to be with them that were three and four years older thand her but since Nik always defended her she had to suck it up.
Nik walked through the woods and to the river where he saw Katherine standing with her back to him.
"Hey"
She turned around and smiled as she hugged him tight, pressing her body to him making him groan unconciously but it wasnt from disconfort.
Katherine smiled and rested her hands on his chest "A little birdy told me you turned 16 today"
He chuckle "You better stop talking to birds or they will reveal all my secrets to you, love. And to confirm your suspiscion, yes"
"Good to know. Cmon, lets sit" she said and Nik sat on the ground and felt her sit on his lap. She moved a little and wrapped his arms around her stomatch and placed her hands over his. She leaned back, pressing her back to his chest.
Nik sat there akwardly, he wasnt sure if Katherine was just messing with him or if it was just an innocent move but whatever it was it was making his heart beat faster and the blood run down to his lower area.
Katherine smirked when she felt something poking her and se knew that her plan was working.
She got off his lap and sat next to him as she rested her head in his shoulder "Nik, i owe you my present" she said innocently
He chuckle "Love you dont need to give me anything"
"Ofcourse I do Nik, we've been friends for almost two years" she said rubbed his chest
"Katherine..." his breath hitched when he felt Katherine's hand over his trousers
"Yes?" she smiled innocently and lean onto him. Nik looked at her with widened eyes, Katherine was never so...so intimate.
"Katherine what are you doing?"
She smirked and moved her hand lower "I think we both know what in doing and i dont feel you complaining"
He bite his lip and closed his eyes "Katherine we arent suppose to do this, we are friends"
"I know and thats why its alright. We are friends and we can keep this between us, it will be out little secret" she whispered in his ear and when she was about to cup him he pulled away
"Katherine look i dont think this is right. I am attracted to you and you are damn hot but i cant"
"Oh Nik dont be such a scary cat" she moved closer and placed her hands on his chest "You are old enough and so am i so why not"
He sighed "Katherine Ive never done this" he muttered and looked ar him incrediously "For real?"
He nodded embarassed and she just smiled "Then ill be your first. Its pretty easy, ill show you anything that you need to know"
He nodded a little nervious and placed his hands on her hips dragging her closer to him. Katherine moved her hands to his shirt and opened it to caress the skin of his toned chest.
"Would you help me with my dress?" she asked bitting her lip and srching her back a little.
He nodded and undid the bow that was over her breasts abd loose the knots down to her stomatch. Caroline shrugged off her dress letting it fall down to the ground and Nik couldnt get his eyes off her.
She smirked "Your turn" she moved his shirt off his torso and looked at his toned body. She move her gaze from his torso to his trousers "Those need to go" she held his pants and pulled then down.
Nik looked down blushing slightly and Katherine lift his chin up and kissed him "Relax" she whispered and guide him the rest of the way.
Caroline left her housd because she got bored and started walking around the plaze and then decided to go see Nik and Kathetine in the woods.
She walked down the small path that Nik had teached her and heard a whimper. She looked around scared and then a heard a scream. Caroline's eyes widened in terror and started running.
"Nik! Nik theres someone hurt-" she yelled in panic and then gasped when she saw them.
Nik was kissing Katherine fiercely as he pressed his body agaisnt hers, pinning her to the tree.
He pulled away and turned to look at Caroline "Care..."
She stood there looking at them "Oh my God...im-im so sorry, i'll go" she ran away
Nik pulled away from Katherine "Caroline!" he shouted as he put on his clothes.
"Nik just let it go, cmon lets keep going. I was having fun" she went to him and tried to pull off the clothes he was trying to put on.
"katherine not now, i need to talk with Caroline" he finished dressing.
"Ugh are you really just leaving me like this? Do i look like the village's slut?"
"Well you are acting like it by not letting me go to Care"
"I could swear that if she wasnt 13 you would have fuck her instead of me, am i wrong?"
He sighed and tied his boots.
"Nik im talking to you. Get this on your head, she is a child and you are not. Nothing will ever happen between the two of you"
"Rot in hell Katherine, see you tomorrow" he jogged back home trying to catch Caroline before she enter the house but it was too late. He enter the house and William Forbes gave him a weird look.
"Boy you look disheveled, what have you been up to?"
"Nothing, i just went for a walk through the woods and tripped over but im fine. Do you know where Caroline is?"
William nodded not fully convinced by what Nik said "Okay, she is probably in her room"
"Thanks" he jogged to her room and moved the curtain that served as door "May i come in Caroline?"
She looked at him and nodded "Are you alone?"
"Yes" After she granted him permission he entered and sat next to her "Care we need to talk about what happened back in the woods"
"Nik dont, you dont have to give
me any explanation. You are officially a man in this village and you are old enough to do what you want"
"I didnt left because of it"
"What are you talking about?" she asked confused.
"I didnt leave to have...um sex in the woods with Katherine. To be honest, i didnt knew why she had told me to meet her there but then things happened"
"Do you love her?" she asked looking deep into his eyes.
He got lost in her beautiful blue eyes and his lips parted slightly but then closed them and shook his head "i dont, it was just a one-time thing"
She nodded and looked down "I know im still a child and that you and katherine obviously have another definition for fun but i want you to know that i understabd if you two dont want to play or be with me"
"Care how can you say that" he hugged her tight and kiss her head "No matter how old i am i will never leave you or stop playing with you, you are my friend"
She smiled and peck his cheek "Thank you Nik, i love you"
"And i love you too Carebear. Hey do you want to go see the flying lights?"
"Yes!" she said excitedly

Elijah walked out to the garden where he saw his mother sitting next to a bush of roses.
"Mother its time, i've already gather up my siblings and father is far gone as always on this date"
She nodded and stood up as she smooth down her dress "Lets go then, shall we?"
"Yes mother" he stretch out his hand for her to take and she did so.
They walk up to the tallest tower where the rest of his siblings were waiting for them. They all followed Esther as she opened the doors to the balcony that had a wide view of the kingdom. She could see everyone looking up at them, waiting for the queen to throw the first flying light.
Finn placed a reassuring hand on his mother's back "Mother are you okay?"
She nodded "Today he would turn sixteen, he had turn into a man..." she said as her voice broke at the end.
No one in the kingdom knew what the flying lights meant and neither did Rebekah and Kol until today. They always thought it was just a small show that their mother would put up on the same date every year.
Kol looked at his mother a little confused "Mother, who are you talking about?"
By this time Kol was only twelve and Rebekah thirdteen.
Elijah looked at his mother then at his younger siblings "Rebekah, Kol we lost a brother when he was borned, sixteen years ago and the flying lights simbolize his life on the date of his birth"
Rebekah gasped and looked at his mother and so did Kol "Is he alive?"
Finn shrugged "We dont know anything about him since his birth, we dont even know how he looks like"
Kol looked at him mother before he walked to her side and hugged her "Mother, can i throw it with you?"
Esther looked down at his son and smiled sadly "Ofcourse my dear" she placed carefully the flying light in Kol's hand and he threw it to the sky as they watch it fly away to the stars.
Rebekah hugged Elijah as they watched the flying light been followed by the villager's own lights.
Nik was in the plaza with Caroline watching the flying lights reach the stars and fade away.
"Nik they are beautiful" she said as her eyes were glued to the shining sky.
He smiled at her "Just like you carebear" he kissed her head and when she turned around to look at him she saw what he held in his hand.
"Nik is that a flying light? Where did you got it?"
"i know someone and bought it on our way here" he held it in his hand and lit it up "Here, you throw it"
"Lets do it together" she smiled and placed her hands with his as they let the light fly away.
