Young Gods (A Klaus Mikaelson Fanfic)

Chapter 23- Cinderella & Prince Charming

The next morning, Belladonna wakes up early to get to her magic training with Hermes and Hecate. The prior night was a crazy one. Esther had told Klaus that she was back to forgive him. The rest of her children seemed to eat up everything she says except for Elijah, who can't see her forgiving Klaus, and Klaus because Bella had warned him. After Esther had placed a no-killing rule for her children to obey, Klaus had gone to bed and warned all his siblings to leave him alone.

But Bella just couldn't stop thinking about what had happened between her, Kat, and Ellie the night before. They had been asking her if she was okay and she had finally told them that she wasn't upset because she had used too much power, it was because Klaus hadn't told her about Elena. It wasn't that she cared if her sister lived or died or even that Klaus had practically told Stefan to kill her, it was that he hadn't told her.

Why would he keep something like that from her? Why would he risk not being able to make more hybrids to save her life? Was he just that confident in his poker skills, or was it something more? The general consensus of her best friends was that he had feelings for her and didn't want to admit it. She didn't really believe them because she couldn't fathom the idea of someone who looked like Klaus, who had been all around the world, who could be with anyone, wanting to be with her.

The whole idea was weighing on her as she walked into the house where Hermes had taken up residence. Somehow, she wasn't the least bit surprised that he had chosen a house that was two houses down from hers. As she knocks on the door and waits, she realizes what she wants to know how to do. Hermes opens the door and she pushes past him. "Hecate, I'm here."

"I'm upstairs, Little Flower."

"So absolutely no greeting for me then?" Hermes asks.

"I'm a woman on a mission today, Hermes. I'm gonna learn about my powers."

"Why do I already have a bad feeling about this?" The young goddess shrugs.

"Because you're super lame for the god of mischief?" Hecate laughs loudly as the pair enters the room where she is lounging on a chair.

"As I said, I knew I'd love you. Now, what exactly were you looking to learn, Belladonna?"

"I actually don't want to learn a divine power, I want to learn one that vampires have." She raises a brow.

"And what makes you think I could teach you."

"Because you're the Titaness of Sorcery and I'm sure there's probably a divine equivalent of what I want to do." She smiles in amusement.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Bella bites her lip in embarrassment but continues, needing her answers.

"I want to get into someone's head. Klaus' to be exact. He's sleeping, so he'll be more susceptible."

"Why do you want to get into your boyfriend's head?" Hermes asks and the blue-eyed girl turns to glare at him.

"He's not my boyfriend, and I have a question I want answered that he'd never answer while he was awake." She turns back to Hecate. "If it's in a dream, however--"

"He'd answer you because he wouldn't think you'd hear. You want to know if he has feelings for you." Bella begins fidgeting with her ring in embarrassment, but nods.

"No, absolutely not. That's a terrible idea," Hermes states, giving Hecate a look as Bella glares at him once more.

"I thought you were supposed to be the fun god!"

"Dionysus is the party god, you want a good time, go to him. I'm your guardian."

"And the God of Mischief, you should be all for this!"
