The Allure Of darkness

chapter 23

♤♡Niklaus's POV:◇♧

"daddyyyy"
"mommy i'm tired, when daddy wakes up wake me up please"
mommy? katherine is dead, who's azalea talking about?!
i wanted to wake the fuck up and hug that little girl very tightly, i missed her voice, i missed her touch, her giggles, her everything. i never thought i could love someone as much as i love her, she made me feel something i never thought was possible.
unconditional love.

"you broke our promise sir.
you promised not to risk your life, you promised not to break my heart.
you promised you'll come back after you kill mikael and the others!!
and here we are, mikael is dead.
so you better fucking wake up.
you better come back or i'll curse you on a full moon. and you better not die, don't you dare die niklaus mikaelson. if you die i'll kill you.
you knew that your daughter needs you, still you risked your life and did not care about her.
you know what's life without parents, i know what it feels like not having parents to take care of you.
and what you do? you almost get yourself killed knowing KATHERINE IS DEAD, AND SHE'S GOT YOU LEFT. so happy now? i gave her the necklace, and your necklace, and she's a part of always and forever now. but i feel that because of you! she'll be the only mikaelson left.
own that shit, if you don't wake up, i'm not going to your funeral.
i'm angry klaus, you lied to me after you promised not to leave me like everyone else, but you didn't come back, you left me with a baby version of you, to remind me of you every single day. she's just like you you know, i didn't know katherine, but i'm sure azalea didn't get the forgiving part from your side of the family. she's so kind hearted, she also likes to paint, just like you.
she missed you so much you know, you should know that you're not like mikael, in any fucking way. she loves you so fucking much she dreams about you sometimes.
you're ruining my mascara now, stop making me cry and wake up.
i never stopped loving you, i love you so much it hurts, i hate that feeling,  the feeling of knowing that you can do whatever you want with my heart, break it, burn it eat it. but i can't stop loving you and i can't lose you."

okay i'm done i better wake up and find out who that lady is because i definitely don't remember anything she said.
i couldn't recognise her voice, her words, that promise she claims i made for her.
she then added
"i was in the park once with azalea, she was playing with her friends and i was looking at a group of people grieving.
they were floating lanterns in the sky, you believe that.
japanese lanterns is a symbol of letting go of the past, well here's a newsflash, we're not japanese. i know what they are... children.
like lighting a candle's gonna make everything ok, or even saying a prayer.
stupid delusional exasperating little children.
i know what you're gonna say 'it makes them feel better raven'. so what, for how long? a minute, a day. what difference does it make? because in the end, when you lose somebody, every candle every prayer is not gonna make up for the fact that the only thing that you have left is a hole, in your life where that someone that you cared about used to be. and a rock, with a birthdate carved into it but i'm pretty sure is wrong. so thanks babe, thanks for leaving me here to baby sit. i was stuck in my old house, taking care of azalea. you owe me big"
hmm, so her name is raven huh.
she's got some dark humor there, but who is she?
her words were right tho, she's right.
a candle and a prayer aren't going to change reality.

suddenly i felt a very sharp pain in my head and i went out.

"klaus, klaus wake up, klaus" a very familiar female voice woke me up.
i opened my eyes and a very bright light blinded me, i covered my eyes with my hands and i said "katherine?"
"yes now open your eyes you look like children"
"you're supposed to be dead"
"i am"
"am i dead?"
"no you're not"
"so this isn't real"
"nop, it's you subconscious trying to speak to you"
"what's going on?"
"you're in a coma, due to the explosion, and the very hard hits your head absorbed, you lost one year of your memory, one year is wiped from your brain, of course the year before the attack, you don't remember raven, you don't remember ever loving her, but klaus, i've been watching over azalea and let me tell you, raven is an angel, she's been azalea's mother and father since you were gone, i know you, and i know you're going to be paranoid and angry and not trusting when you wake up and find a stranger over your head. but when you wake up, you have to know that you loved her more than you loved anything in the world, because she is like you, and she accepted you knowing who you really are and that she didn't judge you and always supported you, she didn't try to change you and loved you the way you are.
thank her for being azalea's mother for me will you? and please give her a chance." katherine said. we were in a park, in the garden, and it was very beautiful.
"you have to wake up now, go to raven and be the father azalea deserves. you can't die, it's not your time" she said, we were standing in front of the river.
"i miss you" i said
"i know, now go" she said before she pushed me in the river.

☆Ravenna's POV:☆

i was sitting on the couch, azalea's head was on my lap as she slept peacefully. 
i was staring at klaus sleeping.
then all of a sudden he jumps from his sleep taking a very deep hard breath as if he was drowning. 
he was sitting on the bed, looking around him like a lost child, when i got up and pressed the red button.
"sweet jesus you're awake" i said so fucking surprised. 
the doctors rushed in with marcel and freya.
"everyone out" the doctor said
"what no i'm not leaving" i said, i wanted to kick that old man's ass, he doesn't give me and order and expect me to obey, especially if he's not allowing me to see my boyfriend.
marcel tried to make me go out with them. i just got out and i was so angry.
"daddy's awake mommyyy" azalea said happily. 
after a while the doctor got out of the room and said "he's in a very good condition, he just woke up from a year coma and i'm surprised how strong he is"
"can we see him?" marcel aske
"the child and one of you only can, he's still in need of rest" the doctor replied.
"raven you go with her, we'll see him after he's rested" freya said.

i entered the room with azalea, he was sitting on the bed laying his head on a pillow on the bedboard. , azalea quickly ran to him and hugged him, he wrapped his arms around her
"i missed you so much" she said, she was crying at this point.
"i missed you too munchkin" he replied.
his eyes were staring at me, confused. he looked like he's seeing me for the first time. i was tearing up and standing near the bed watching them.
"mommy don't you want to say hi to daddy" azalea asked.
"mommy?" klaus asked confused as fuck.
"yes! your girlfriend" she replied.
"i don't do relationships sweatheart" he replied.
he looked at me and asked "how long has it been?"
"a year, you were in a coma for a year" i said.
i was so confused, so paranoid, why did he say that.
"what the fuck" he cursed
"who are you again? " he asked.
i couldn't form words, all i could do was stand infront of him with teary watery red eyes. he doesn't fucking remember me.
"i asked you a fucking question!" he hissed.
"don't yell at mommy!" azalea hissed back at him.
"why are you calling her that, your mother is dead. katherine is dead!" he said.
after these words got out of his mouth i became numb, all i saw was black, then boom, my head hit the floor as i passed out.
