"Curse? What do you mean?"

"I mean, that we can't just let them get away with it, but we also can't be too harsh... like death. I mean I don't want to kill them either, I'd like to think maybe they will change their minds one day and we can get along but until then they need to learn to take me and our relationship seriously." I sigh and go to the alcohol cart and pour two fingers of scotch.

I know I'm not technically 21 but I'm like double that so whatever.

I take a sip and sigh at the burn. Nik wraps his arms around my waist, and I lean back into him.

"What type of curse were you thinking, my love?" Nik whispers as he kisses my neck.

I expose more of my throat and sigh softly.

"Hmm, maybe a blood curse? Or a mental one? Like they hear voices? Nah that'll drive 'em crazy and I don't need them bothering mental wards with the blood baths. Hmm maybe link them together and dagger them? So, we don't have to hunt them down. OH! Oh my god! OMG! I just had a great idea, Nikki!"

I turn in his arms and smile at him excitedly.

He chuckles and takes my hand leading us back to the couch. He sits and I take my rightful seat in his lap. I wrap my arms around his neck and peck him on the cheek.

"Okay, so tell me your great plan darling."

"Okay, so- wait." I gasp.

Nik raises his eyebrow at me and waits.

"What about Hank?! Is he still at the house?! Oh my god! We need to get him! Right! Now! OmgOmgOmgOmg what if they do something to him?" I cried out. I jump up and run to the door. Right and ready to rain hell upon anyone who hurts Hanky.

My hand touches the doorknob just as Nikki pulls me back into his chest.

Can't he see this isn't the time? My Hanky is out there! Touch time is over for now.

I turn around ready to 'Motus' him if necessary, when his grabs my face and kisses me harshly. I gasp and he thrusts his tongue inside. He shoves me against the door and grab my wrists and trapping them to my sides.

I'm panting and hard by the time he pulls away.

Damn that sexy man. Distracting me.

"Calm down, love. He's upstairs in the room we're staying in. He's even got his own little bed that Jeremy brought over from the Gilbert house." He says reassuringly.

I sigh in relief and sag against him.

"Thank god. I was about to wage war for him."

Nik chuckles (did he think I was joking?) and wraps his arms around me and hugs me to his chest, his nose nuzzling and sniffing my hair.

Aww, he's so clingy and sweet.

My adorable little baby.

I smile and kiss his chest over and over.

God, I love this man.

Mm, and all the kissing earlier made me kinda hot.

My hands that were around his waist slide down and grab his ass.

He chuckles and looks up from my hair and raises an eyebrow at me.

"Your plan, love?" He asks, amusement clear in his eyes.

Oh!

"Oh! Right, so I was thinking and if you don't agree we can talk it over and decide something else or we can just completely forget this whole cursing thing all together if you want to-" I gasp as he pinches my side and raises an eyebrow again.

"The plan, love?" He laughs.

"Okay," I sigh, "So, I was thinking that... and I seriously mean it Nik, we don't have to, but... I think we should give them nightmares about you. Not like you scaring them but... about what you went through."

I feel him tense, and I rub my hands on his arms to reassure him.

"Listen, I'm not saying to make any decisions right now. But... they don't understand Nikki. They don't know how that felt for you, how you dealt with it, or the fact that you always just wanted to be safe. You daggered them to protect them, you made sure Kol didn't make enough trouble so that Mikael couldn't find all of you. You made sure Rebekah didn't abandon her family for a man that didn't love her fully, Finn from endangering your whole family, Elijah because he lost faith in you and betrayed you. You didn't dagger them just because you could, just to show your strong. You protected your family, even after they treated you like the villain. They need to understand what you did for them; what you had done to you for them." I look at him knowingly.

"Elliot-"

"No, we are not going to change the topic again. We are not going to avoid this. I've let this go because I can't imagine what abuse is like and I don't want to bring up bad memories-"

"Butnowis a good time?" He growls and steps away from me.

"No, but we need to talk about it. I know you, Nikki. And I know how bad Mikaels temper was. Was he really the only child that he hit? Please, I don't like how you hold all this in. How you like it rot in your soul and like it sour your life.I love you, please." I step to him and grab his hands. I look in his eyes and see the pain. The pain he always holds onto, never one to let himself heal.

"I-I love you too. More than any other, in the thousand years I've lived, you are without a doubt the love of my life." He spoke softly, him gripping my hand back. His gaze on the ground before looking at me, eyes glassy.

I gasp and tear up.

"You're the love of my life too. There has been no one who has loved me like this. Like you love me. Passionately and all consuming. Every breath I breathe is filled with my love for you." I whisper.

"And because of that I will tell you what I have told no other. Mikael, he... " He took a deep breath and the look of utter anguish on is face made me gasp.

"What? Hey, hey, it's okay-"

"He killed Henrik."

TBC...
