A/N: I'm almost starting college! And I will be majoring in English. Even though, I'm not sure if I'll pass, but whatever! Now. I may or may not edit the story, but if I do decide to edit, you guys would be one of the first to know. I love all ya readers! Happy Reading!
Ever had the nervous feeling in the pit of your stomach? You know, the type where you face your fears toward someone? And you don't know how they will react? Yup. I have that feeling. I had used Rebekah's phone to contact N- Klaus. She had called him and made an appointment at a restaurant. It was a fancy place, so I had worn my black long sleeved dress. I chose the back of the restaurant, near the exit.
"I see you've dyed your hair, Rebekah." I turned my head to face him, glaring at him with my eyes, but somehow still maintaining a friendly smile. "Wrong gal, Niklaus. Or is it Klaus, now?" I mused as he sat across from me. "Sloane. I thought you were just a hallucination." By the time he finished the waiter came with two glasses and a bottle of champagne. "Thank you." I told the man before turning to Klaus.
"Well let's celebrate!" I beamed at him, eyes closing. I poured our glasses before handing one to him. "And to what are we celebrating love?" I took a sip before answering. "I'm glad you ask, but before we get to that, my name is Dulce. Now to answering your question. It's to you moving on, so quickly after we saw each other again. Though, I do say you could've done better. But then again, crazy with crazy are just a match made in heaven." I chugged my drink before pouring myself some more.
"I don't know what you are talking about, and I don't appreciate you attacking me like that." He growled, his eyes flashing a golden color. I scoffed. "Darling, you are really in no position to get angry. I'm talking about Caroline. You know the blonde bimbo, who's boyfriend you sent to bite her. Thus leaving you to feed her your blood. Don't think I didn't notice how long it took her either, and how you enjoyed it." I hissed as I leaned in closer to him, starting to feel the anger start radiating off of me.
"I knew there would come a time, when you would just give up on us. Finally being together. Just like we always wanted. Wait, let me correct that. Just like I always wanted. Together. Forever. But, I guess this time, you chose to not give a damn anymore. I mean, I knew you had your little play things, but I've recently noticed, that whenever I was dead, you would stop looking for a way for us to be together." I say with a slight crack at the end. I looked at him as he just looked down at his hands. He looked down at his hands before he looked at me with guilt filled eyes. "I'm so sorry." He whispered.
I stood up, shaking my head, willing the tears to not slip from my eyes. "It's over Niklaus. Goodbye." I turned and left, not once glancing back at him.
…
I had taken a shower and had just changed into my pajamas before heading out of my closet, still patting my hair dry with the towel. I went to grab phone from the stand only to catch a glimpse of movement out the glass door of my balcony. Standing up straight, I walked towards it and opening, stepping out I searched around with my eyes to see if I could spot anything else. Backing up to go inside, I saw a rose and a note on the ground. I kneeled down to pick it up, only to prick myself with a thorn. I stared at it as it bled, before sticking it into my mouth and sucking on it. I went inside and closed the door. Opening the note, I noticed the familiar handwriting of Niklaus':
'My sweet warrior,
I can't leave it at that. The fight, was never how I pictured our encounter. You have my heart and you always will. It's been so long, since I-'
I stopped reading, heading out and crumbling it in my hand before letting the flames engulf the paper. Watching it as it finished turning into ash, I blew it into the wind, with only four words lingering after it. "I hate you Klaus." I looked at the golden before finally going inside locking the doors and closing the curtains.
…
"Rebekah, I think it's time you've come home. Stay with me. I feel so alone at that house, and it actually hurts to admit that." I say as I walked around town the next day eating my frozen yogurt, before spotting a bench with no one sitting on it.
"Are you sure it's finally safe?"
"Duh! Plus, I don't want to be in a town with Klaus without my best friend holding me back from trying to find a way to kill him."
"Alright. I'll be there tomorrow." I yipped in hooray, causing laughter to erupt on the other line, we bid each other goodbyes so she can pack.
"I'm sorry, is this seat taken?" I turned around, with a spoon in my mouth containing froyo. My eyes widened as I saw who was sitting next to me. Before I knew it, I had swallowed the froyo in my mouth (nearly swallowing the spoon along with it) and launched myself at him. "'Lijah! Hey if you're away, is Kol awake too?" I looked around, trying to see if I could spot him. He laughed shaking his head no.
"No. I hear you go by Dulce now, though?" He asked. I nodded confirming his question. We sat there in silence for a bit. But appreciated. Elijah, never made me feel like I was being judged, he let me think. Finally I broke the silence. "Elijah. I know you are here for some reason. So out with it. What is it that you want to ask me?" He looked straight ahead, watching the kids chase each other as their parents watched on. "I came to ask you to join us for dinner." He finally said.
I let out a big breath. "Who is 'us', Elijah?" "Niklaus, Stefan, Damon and myself." I gave a sarcastic laugh. "So basically, every guy who has ever fallen for a doppleganger? That's just great. Perfect even!" I gave another sarcastic laughter, throwing my arms in the air in frustration. "I know it would be difficult, but it would mean a lot if you came. You are after all family." I groaned, knowing now I couldn't say no.
"Damn you for involving family into it!" I glared pitifully at him, seeing amusement spark in his eyes. "But just so you know I won't like it! And I'll pout! And if I don't like the food, I won't eat! And there better be actual dessert! Not just fake stuff, for just you fang people!" I huffed crossing my arms across my chest, standing up and not looking at him. "Alright, I'll make sure there is dessert set aside for you." He says, standing up as well.
"See, I knew I liked you for a reason Elijah. You are reasonable."
…
It was the next day and I was anxiously waiting for Rebekah to get here. I saw the car I had let her borrow pull up in the drive and before it could come to a complete stop, I had already had the driver's door open and had her out in an instant. "I missed you so much Becks! God, it was unbearable without you! Never leave me again!" I cried out, holding on to her as tightly as I could to a thousand year old vampire. Oh god! She is so old! Like beyond grandma years.
"I missed you too, D!" She says hugging me back. "Come, come inside." I say pulling her into the house.
…
"So the fight was a big one, huh?" She asked sipping her soda. I nodded. "It sucks, because I know I don't have much time here. I would have like to have spent it with him. But he is changing and so am I. It is only hurting us both. And I don't think my heart can take it this time." She nodded pulling me into a hug.
"Well, this is a new you. A different you. You'll figure something out. You always did find a solution to a problem." I laughed softly.
"Change of subject. Sort of. Come to dinner with me. Be my surprise guest. In fact make a surprise appearance. You could finally wear that homecoming dress. I honestly think it would fit the occasion."
"Why of course! I would be honored to!" We laughed. Joking around until the time came to get ready.
…
I put on my burgundy playsuit and my suede and leather pumps before grabbing my clutch. My hair was pulled up into a braided bun, and I decided to cake on some make up.
"Alright Rebekah, I'm heading out. I'll see you in a few." I say normally. "Alright." She called out from upstairs. Let's get this shit over with.
…
I am late. And I am becoming even more late as I stand outside the door, just staring. I didn't want to go inside. I didn't want to see anyone. I just wanted to be at home eating chips and watching bollywood movies! Was that seriously too much to ask for?! I let out a sigh, before raising my hand to knock, only for the door to swing open.
"Ah, Dulce. You've made it. I was beginning to wonder if you got lost along the way." Elijah quips. I narrowed my eyes at him. "Oh Elijah, how could I possibly get lost. This house has got to be the most obnoxious house owned by the most egotistical of people." As soon as I said that, I could feel frustration and anger come from the dining hall.
"Come along. We were just about to begin dinner." I rolled my eyes at his proper tone. He pulled my chair out for me, which was sadly to the left of Klaus.
…
"Let me just cut it in now. Why the bloody hell am I even here for?! All we are doing is discussing about how you four couldn't get inept girl to choose between yourselves. I mean, after all, as far as I'm concerned, the dopplegangers don't know how to love. I guess that's why Elena is currently hopping between my once brothers. Now, if we are done, I must leave." I was about ready to stand up, but Klaus pushed me back into my seat. "No, why don't you stay for dessert." And with a snap of his finger there was now a slice of coconut pie in front of me.
I glared at him for a moment, before my eyes drifted back onto the pie. I can't just not eat it. It's pie! It's coconut pie! I love coconut pie! And with that thought, I dug in. Knowing Rebekah was due to arrive in ten minutes.
And to think, it only took me one, to finish the pie.
…
So after a few threats, and all. Damon and Elijah stepped outside for a moment. Which was a little suspicious, because Damon is a bitch. I still sat there, eating pies. Yup, turns out there was more than one pie. All were coconut, just like I like them. I turned to look at Klaus. Still feeling the connection, but to be honest, I felt betrayal more than any love that have, or had now. I went back to eating my pie and listening to Stefan groan in pain every once in a while. Not noticing the way Klaus would stare at me, after taking a pause from torturing Stefan.
…
Elijah had come back, along with Damon. The way they shared a glance, made me confirm my suspicions of them. I glared. Even though, I knew that Klaus no longer cared for me as he use to, I still cared.
"We forgot dessert, brother." Elijah said. I scoffed. "No we didn't. At least I didn't. I had like ten full pies!" I exclaimed, pretending to be a bit oblivious to his plan. They all rolled their eyes, even the lady who was carrying the tray with daggers. I looked up hearing Rebekah's familiar footsteps. I slid the dagger from my purse and held out behind. I felt it disappear, just as Elijah revealed the daggers.
"It's not that I don't love Klaus' face when in shock, but I'm sure Rebekah would like to start now." I smiled, eyes closed, as I heard Klaus groan.
"This is going to be a long night." I muttered underneath my breath. Soon, two other blurs shoved daggers into Klaus, causing him to groan and growl in pain and in anger.
"Yup. Definately going to be a long night." I huffed, sitting down on the couch to watch the drama begin to unfold.
