Slow Burn [Klaus Mikaelson Story]

31 Locks

It has been minutes since the silence covered us, it is peaceful but I don't like it.

"So where you from?" I question him.

He finally looks down at me and gives me a small smiles, "Why do you ask?" he questions back

"Well because of your accent" I let out a small chuckle, he looks up again, closeing his eyes, smile on his face stretching more.

"What you thinking about?" before I can stop myself those words leave my mouth, he opens his eyes and glances at me, "You don't have to tell me" I quickly add looking down in embarrassment.

He nudges my temple with his nose and I peek up to see him giving me a teasing smile. A pout forms on my lips and I let out a huff.

Why do I feel comfortable with him.

I really need to get my brain checked.

"So where are you from?" I ask him again. He lets out a beautiful laugh again and shakes his head at me.

"I am from England originally but I live in New Orleans now" he says making me nod my head.

"So what you doin' in Mystic Falls?" I inquire.

"Well I can't really tell you that, yet. I am sorry" he answers giving me an apologetic look.

"It is okay, it is understandable" I reassure him.

"So did your sister know about this plan of yours?"

I shake my head no, "Nope but knowing her she will find out but we send Alaric- one of our friends who knows about vampires to keep her occupied and oh if you meet Alaric do not tell him you are a vampire" I look up at him seriously.

Why am I telling him all that?

"Why is that?" he furrows his eyebrows at me.

"Well he is a vampire hunter, he won't hurt Stefan and Damon but he sure as hell will hurt any other vampire without giving them a chance, probably." He nods his head, "Well thank you for the heads up then" he smiles at me.

"Well I hate to say this but we are among the civilisation" he says with annoyance making me giggle.

I look around to see the behind of the Lockwood manor. I furrow my eyebrows, "I thought I was on the other side of the town" I mumble.

"We were, mystic fall is surrounded by forest so we walked through the forest without needing to go to main road, yes if we would've crossed the forest in straight path we would've been at the entrance of the town" He gently puts me down but doesn't let go of my waist.

"Okay how did you know I needed to go to Lockwood manor?" I raise my eyebrow at him suspiciously.

"Well you are wearing a dress aren't you and this is the only one place hosting that kind of party at this moment" he says as a matter of factly.

"Is the party still going?" I ask him changing the topic so he doesn't notice my embarrassment, he closes his eyes and nods his head.

"What time is it?" I furrow my eye brows. I am pretty I've been gone for way too long.

"It is 10 o'clock" he informs me.

"What?" I whisper shout at him and he nods his head in confirmation.

"That is just bonkers how time works" I whisper to myself.

"I can't go to party like this" I look down and see the once one of the most beautiful dress is now ruined beyond salvation.

People will ask questions.

"Stranger?" I hear the voice of the vampire that saved me from the forest.
