Chapter 4
I woke up the next morning alone in my bed. 'Shit! I forgot to him his new sunlight ring' I thought to myself. I let out a sigh and had a really big stretch. That's when Bianca knocked on the door and came in bringing me life itself. Coffee.
"So last night sounded pretty crazy." ,she said with a smug look on her face, "I could hear you all the way down by the stables. Even your horses were giving me strange looks." She started laughing.
"Well. . . shit. I didn't I was that loud." ,I too, started laughing, "Whatever, it was amazing!"
Sounded like it, even though my Swedish is not that great. So most of it was gibberish to me." her laugh laugh calmed down and she looked at the black dress shirt crumpled on the floor.
We bantered back and forth for awhile longer and loved up on Opeth and Lobus. Then we decided that we should get up and start our day. I got up and took a shower and afterward, I put on some makeup and then got dressed. I chose a cute tan skirt with a slit that started at my thigh, then a picked out a top that was simply black with a lace up back. I liked it because it showed off my vine tattoo with Swedish signage that started on my shoulder than ran down my back and wrapped around my waist. To top it all off, I put on my nude heels. I looked at myself in the mirror and gave myself a little smug, then turned to strut out of my bedroom. Once I was out of my room, I started towards where Eric and Pam were resting.
When I got there I slowly opened the opened the door and tiptoed towards Eric's' bed. As I went to put the ring down on the dresser. I was suddenly against the wall staring into a pair a ice-blue eyes. I just giggled and tried to squirm my way out of his grip. When my feet were finally touching the floor, I looked up at Eric who was still in defense mode.
"Well good morning sunshine! I was going to give this to you yesterday. . .but you know. . .other things happened." I said on my innocent voice.
"What is it?" .he asked still looking tired, "Why did it have to wake me?" He leaned down and gave me a kiss.
"The replacement sunlight ring. You need to stop breaking them." .I said, "They are not something I can just go out and buy you know."
He let out a long sigh, then smiled, "Thank you my love."
He slipped on the ring then went to get ready for his day. It was like he hadn't seen the sun in a hundred years for how fast he was getting ready. As soon as he slipped on his shoes, he raced past me and gave me a kiss and went to enjoy the sun. So I went to my kitchen to grab something to eat. As I was eating I looked outside and decided to do some yard work and my daily chores. So as soon as I was done eating I raced upstairs and get changed. Again. I put on my Guns N' Roses band tee and a pair of ripped jeans, then my combat boots.
So the morning was spent working on my yard and take care of my animals. As I was mucking out the last stall, I decided that I was going to go for a ride on my horse, Cheech. He was a Clydesdale with the colors ta, black, and white. He is the only one I have ever seen like him. He knew me well enough to know that I'm off beat today. He somehow could tell me before I knew that today was going to be off.
So when my chores were done and my ride was over, I changed back into the clothes that I was wearing earlier. Then I went to them bathroom and reapplied my makeup. My eyes were really blue today, so I kept it light with brown eyeliner and black mascara. Then I straightened my blond and black hair and again before I left the room. I checked myself out. So I raced out and headed towards my office to start planning on how to make the hunters talk, just then a million thoughts came into my head and then there was to many to group them together. I leaned back to crack my back and let out a long sigh. When I got back to writing some stuff down, Opeth and Lobus came in smelling like roses. I gave them a little smile and bent down to give them some love
"You guys must have been into something nasty, didn't you?" I chucked to myself.
Just as I finished my sentence, a tingle went down my spine alerting me that I was being watched. I slowly looked up and looked in the way that my dogs were staring too, there was Stephan Salvatore standing in the doorway smiling. Embarrassed I stood up and sat back in my can to ask him what he needed.
"Just wanted to see how you are, can't be easy for you. You know...dealing with all of us and the hunters" He gave a little chuckle, but like tone was calming.
"No. No. It's not. But I'm just wondering how I am going to get through you and the others that I do not want hunters blood on our hands. Who knows what they know or who are they know." I sighed.
"Well...let us try to talk to them and use our ways, and, if nothing works. We can try others. But if nothing else works...then I guess we could let you try." Stephan said quietly.
"I don't understand. Why can't I try first? I am the QUEEN! Plus you guys are there..." I said calmly trying not to yell, "Why do I have to convince you guys!? Why do I have to explain myself!" Stephan was just going to say something, Damon opened his mouth from the doorway.
"Why? Because you are THE QUEEN! T.H.E.Y A.R.E H.U.N.T.E.R.S! All they do is kill everything supernatural! Hell, they even kill other hunters." Damon ranted.
"Because not everyone is a blood draining idiot like you Damon." Stephan yelled at him, "Besides Nicole you said it yourself, you are the queen. Do you really want to put yourself in danger? They are locked up, but knows what other stuff they're into." He finished.
I let out a long groan and left my office. I needed a nap. I left the brothers to argue with themselves. I started to to think to myself, if they didn't want to talk to my progenies then, I would have to talk to them. Be honest, if they still didn't talk..then they shall meet the true death.
That night, I sat in my bed asking my maker if he could some how show me the way, guild me to an answer. For which I do not have. Then there was a knock on my door and Eric walked in. He closed the door ans turned around with a wide grin on his face. I gave him a weird smile back as he walked over to my bed. As he sat down, he grabbed my hand and looked at me, "Thank you for the ring. I have missed the sun so much, how it feels on my skin. Everything is so much more beautiful." His voice was low and sincere, and he kissed my hand.
"You are very welcome Mr. Northman. I hope enjoyed yourself and remember do not break it." I smiled
3 days. 3 days and they still haven't said a damn word. Not a single one. Sitting in the dinning room with my progenies, listening to them yell at each other. I on the other hand was lost in my own thoughts, I finally decided that it was time. So I stood up and announced that I was going to talk with them and I wasn't going to take no for a answer. Just me. One room, and two hunters.
