The Allure Of darkness

chapter 29

i took raven in my arms and put her in the car, i was in the back seat with her, her head was laying on my shoulder and i had my arms arround her little waist, she had a wound on her chest from dahlia's dagger. azalea was sitting on my left, she was sleeping too, she was so scared but she was strong. i believe raven taught her that.

☆Ravenna's POV:☆

i woke up with a very tough headache, i looked around and found myself in klaus's arm, in the car.
what the hell happened?
then i remembered everything.
"hey you okay?" klaus asked me.
"i'm fine, is azalea okay?" i asked
"yes she is"
"i'm sorry" i said
"what for?"
"camille"
"oh you don't have to apologise about that, she was a manipulating bitch who turned me against you and made me take azalea away from you" he said
"raven i don't know what you just did but it was awe...some" damon said from the driving seat.
"thanks for saving her life once again" klaus said
"i told you love makes you do things you never thought you'd be doing" i said
"what did you say in, latin was it?"
"when i was possessed the exorcist said it when he began the exorcism, that prayer has been stuck in my head since then, the books in my room were books of prayers and information stuff and everything about this kind of evil, if i don't read and pray my mind will eat me alive because that exorcism wasn't pretty at all and the demon wasn't so nice and pretty either" i said.
he did something i didn't expect like ever, he kissed my cheek.
"why are you being gentle with me? do you, do you remember me now?" i asked hoping to hear a yes i do but instead he changed the subject by saying "dahlia made a cut on your chest" i looked down and found some blood then i looked back at him and said "so that's a no, you don't remember me"
"we're home sweet home" damon said parking the car.
elijah was in the passenger seat.
we all got out and i almost kissed the floor if it weren't for klaus who caught me before i fell, i couldn't walk very well, he was about to pick me bridal style when i said "it's okay, i can walk go pick your sleeping daughter"

we went upstairs and i was about to enter my room when klaus said "if you still want azalea to sleep with you, let me put her on your bed" he said
"you're for real?" i said happily like a child in a candy shop
"yep" he said then he entered the room and he put her on the bed.
"you need to clean the cut" he said looking at my chest.
"where can i find a first aid kit?" i asked.
"follow me" he led us to his room,
"sit on the couch" he pointed to the couch near the fire place
he sat next to me with alcohol and a bandaid and something to wipe the blood off with
"i found a bunch of pictures of you on my phone, most of them i assume i took." he said while cleaning the blood off
"and you deleted them" i said
"actually i didn't, why would you say that"
"because you hate me?" i said
"what made you think that?"
"well maybe because you're always dry and mean to me, you choked me till i couldn't breathe once and you're always yelling at me" i replied
"i don't hate you raven" he said
we were both silent for a moment, the light in the room was the fire from the fireplace, i looked him in the eyes and tears instantly formed in my eyes, something in his stare was familiar, like the times when he loved me.
"klaus do you remember me now?" i asked, he was still looking at me, then he moved and put a bandaid on the wound.
he didn't say anything, he just stared at me, eye to eye.
i couldn't hold my cries so i left the room, "raven wait" i heard him say before i closed my bedroom's door behind me.
i took a shower and cried my eyes out while doing that and i went to sleep near azalea. 
whenever i sleep with her on the bed i don't have any nightmares, except for that one time.
the same thing with klaus, i never had any nightmares when we were together.
i guess he made me feel safe, and his daughter brings me peace.

♤♡Niklaus's POV:◇♧

she left the room with tears in her eyes, for some reason i felt guilty, she's like this because of me, well people might say that the shit she's been through is way higher than what i've done to her but i feel like she was at peace with me, i feel like i made her feel safe.
i'll never forget what she said when i was still in a coma
