Love Never Dies (3)

Melody's POV

"Who are you married to?" Alaric asked.

"Well first can I know who you people are? It'd be nice to know who the people holding me hostage are," I smiled innocently.

"My name's Caroline, and this is Elena, Bonnie, Matt, Tyler and Stefan. Can you now tell us who you're married too?" The blond girl smiled back.

"No. I've spent too long hiding and running from them, so you can either kill me here and now, or I can leave now and I promise I will not stay in town. All I want is to avoid seeing them; Rebekah knows I am here meaning the others will know soon enough, I just need to get out of here," I whispered rather desperate.

It wasn't that I didn't desperately want to be re-united with Elijah but I couldn't face him after all these years, I'd rather die. I certainly wasn't prepared to face Klaus and I was too scared to see how any of them including Kol or Rebekah would react to me leaving so long ago and never contacting them again.

"What are you so scared of? If you're married to one of them, shouldn't that mean that you love them?" Matt questioned.

"You don't understand how much I love my husband but something really bad happened a long time ago and I can't see the disappointment on his face when he finds out. I'd rather never see him again than see his facial expression when he finds out," I frowned.

"Who are you married to?" Elena sighed obviously getting bored with the whole concept.

"Who do you think I was married to?" I shrugged not having any where better to be.

It didn't seem like they were going to let me leave the room and I could clearly see the multiple stakes next to Alaric's desk and I knew that they had vervain seen as they had already used it on me.

"Well you seem very much like Klaus, so I'd guess him," Caroline stated.

I let out a sort chuckle, "No. I never really liked Klaus, well at one point I guess I liked him but now I have a strong dislike to him although I hadn't seen him in such a long while."

"Then it has to be Elijah, Finn or Kol. It can't be Finn as he was with Sage. I couldn't see either of the other two being with you. You seem to mean and heartless to be with Elijah and I could never see Kol married," Elena explained.

By this point they were all talking amongst themselves either about their boredom or about whom they thought I could be married to.

"Paranoia can do a lot of bad things to people. I wasn't always like this, I was very much a nice person, but being nice takes a back seat to running away from everything you care about. I just want to leave here and carry on running, please," I sighed, "I can't handle his disappointed expression when he sees me."

The tears began to well in my eyes, imagining his facial expression when he found out why I ran. All I wanted was to have him with me again, but I couldn't handle the concept of having to tell him the truth.

"The more you beg for your freedom the less likely we'll give it to you," Tyler smirked.

"I'm sorry but I'll just have to kill you all then. If you won't let me out of here, I'll have to leave myself," I shrugged putting my hand around Matt's throat as he was the one closest to me.

Before I could constrict my hand and strangle the boy, a pain shot through my head causing me to collapse in intense pain.

I held onto my head with my hands crying out for whoever was causing this pain to stop. Instead I heard Bonnie speak.

"One of you pick her up, and we'll have to take her to the Originals and ask them about her, I can't keep her down for long," She stated.

Of course she was a witch; I was stupid to think that they weren't supernatural. Why would they be so curious if they didn't know a lot about vampires and other supernatural creatures? No one who isn't supernatural or personally knows one knows that much and wants to know more.

The pain carried on as Alaric picked me up whispering an apology. Pain blocked my vision as I was placed in what seemed like a car until I felt someone pick me up and carry me again. Soon I heard my name as the pain stopped.

As my vision came back I saw that I was stood in a hallway with the people from the classroom and Elijah. I gasped seeing him turning and running for the front door but he was already in the doorway. Looking at him I couldn't help but simply cry. Before I could understand what had happened I was crying into his shirt with him hugging me.

"Melody, where have you been?" He questioned softly lifting my head up by his forefinger under my chin.

Before I could answer he pushed his lips to mine, and I quickly kissed back. I had missed the feeling of having him near and being able to be with him.

He pulled his lips away from mine smiling down at me.

"I've missed you my love," He smiled.

"I've missed you too Elijah. I am so sorry for running away, just I couldn't hurt you," I whispered.

"What do you mean Melody? How are you here shouldn't you be dead? Niklaus said you had died."

How could I tell the only man I had ever loved that his brother killed me out of jealousy? I couldn't destroy their relationship even if Niklaus did something terrible.

"I'm a vampire, that's why I ran. I'm ashamed for how I became a vampire and I wanted you to be as happy as possible, without having to know what happened to me," I said calmly with tears falling down my face.

"I could never be angry or upset with you. I love you too much to want to lose you Melody. Even with losing you for so long no matter the reason why you left I could never be upset or angry with you," He smiled softly.

Sighing I knew the right thing to do would be to tell him the truth.

"The day of our wedding once, you left to feed. Niklaus appeared and spoke to me. He told me that his love for me was still strong, so he told me that if he couldn't have me then neither could you. He fed me his blood and killed me. When I woke up he knew I wouldn't want to be the one to destroy your relationship with your brother, so I ran. I couldn't tell you that he turned me into a vampire, I was scared about you two arguing and destroying your family, as I know they are the most important thing to you," I sighed.

"I'm going to kill him," He hissed.

"You promised you wouldn't get mad," I whispered softly.

"No I promised I wouldn't get mad at you, Niklaus is a different case. I love you Melody and I could never allow him to hurt you. I know I guess I did, but he needs to pay for what he did."
