ReIncarnated ✔ (Mikaelson Soulmate)

Chapter XXIX: 2011 I Can't.

I woke up in my old room in the Mikaelson manor. I could barely remember anything. The big boom and then nothing but black. Did I die? No. How would I be here then? I sat up, moving to the edge of the bed before standing up slowly. Testing to see how stable I was. Whatever happened, someone fed me blood and healed me. I feel fine other than the underlining feeling of anger and betrayal inside of me. I glanced around, no one was in here with me which was a shocker. But I had spoken too soon as the door opened revealing a shocked Niklaus Mikaelson.

"Frankie.." Nik whispered, staring at me. I stared back at him before looking around for my phone or keys. If there was a boom before I passed out... did I even have a phone and keys anymore? "Frankie..? What are you looking for?" Nik asked, moving towards me slowly. I held my hand up to him, making him stop walking.

"Where are my keys or my phone? I need to get out of here." I mumbled the last bit of my sentence, but Nik heard me.

"You can't leave, Frankie. Your house literally exploded. Someone had left the gas on, on the stove and lit a match." I turned to him as I processed the information. The back door was unlocked. Someone was in my home while I was at the neighbors house. I nodded at him.

"Then I'll stay at a friends. The Salvatores-" I paused that thought, Damon is probably still in town... "Or the Bennetts." I added quickly, nodding at that idea. Nik walked closer, grabbing my arm gently, but I quickly pulled away from him. Ignoring the tingling warmth and the rejection in his eyes.

"Frankie- please." He tried. "I'm sorry...I should have believed you." I snapped my gaze at him.

"But you didn't. You nor I can change that." I told him in a snippy tone. I was trying so hard to stay calm. Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't show you care still. I swallowed hard. "I can't do this anymore, Niklaus." I muttered, choking back my emotions. He stared at me, confused and hurt.

"What do you mean, Frankie?" He asked, but it sounded like he didn't want to actually know. It hurt me to even think I was hurting him. How he hurt me so easily when I felt like this before I even did it.

"This. The whole living and dying. You all being in my life has just added to the drama. I can't take it. Being with you, I nearly die. Being away from you, I nearly die. At least if I leave, my heart won't hurt anymore." Stay strong. Don't look in his eyes. The regret in his eyes. No.

"We can turn you. You can be a vampire like us. You won't have to worry about the whole dying and coming back thing after that!" Nik tried, his brain was overworking itself to come up with a solution. I looked at him shocked.

"Thats the best you can say? To turn me? What if I don't want to live forever, Niklaus?" I asked him in a low tone. My voice cracking just the slightest. "I have lived through so much. I have seen people die and be slaughtered over the stupidest of things. I have seen people running in fear and falling in and out of love. I, myself have lived through so much fear and death. I can't do it anymore." I said shaking my head.

"So what?? Are you just going to go kill yourself or something?? Is that what your plan is!?" Nik snapped, He had tears in his eyes. I was hurting him.

"You think I haven't tried that?! I tried to end it. So very long ago. I offed myself in hopes this curse would end. But here I am, alive and living in fear of the next thing to come for me. Whether it be your psycho mother or her little minions. Who knows!! Maybe I'll be struck by lightening!!" I shout, throwing my hands in the air. Nik looked at me heartbroken.

"Please...Frankie.." Nik whispered. I shook my head at him.

"No. Niklaus, I can't. You look at me like I have rejected you or something. But in reality, You rejected me. You pulled away from me. You doubted me. You let me leave. Now do us both a favor and let me go." I told him with a stern stare. A stray tear leaving my eye as I stared at him. Nik stood there for a bit. His glossy eyes not leaving mine, like he was waiting for me to break. Waiting for me to take it all back and fall into his arms. But it wouldn't be that easy. I couldn't let it be that easy for him to gain me back.

"Come on, Frankie. I'll drive you to the Bennett's." Kol said as he walked into the room. They must have all overheard us. I stared at Nik for a moment longer, before walking around him, letting Kol grab my hand as he led me out of the manor and onto a new life. A new beginning. A new Journey.
