Larisa opened her eyes slightly as she was dragged out of another nightmare. She looked over and saw her uncle Kol spread out along the sofa bed. His brown eyes shut tight in sleep as he lay on his back with one arm around the back of the couch and the other across his abdomen. Larisa sat up slowly trying hard not to wake her aunt Rebekah who slept with her back towards the teenager. She glanced over and saw her uncle Elijah sound asleep with her dad on the other side of him, they both had their backs to each other as Elijah faced her whilst her father faced the wall. She sighed as she stood slowly and made her way towards the door of the motel room they were in. She opened it slowly before turning round and checking to see if any of them were awake. Elijah stirred slightly but quickly drifted back off into a deep sleep. She stepped out into the warm night air and closed the door silently behind her. Even though it was two o’clock in the morning it was still roasting and she was in a pair of white running shorts and a blue tank top that just covered her belly button. She ran a hand through her light caramel coloured locks as she looked out over the entire motel, it only had twenty to twenty five rooms so it was a lot smaller than the ones she was used to hiding out in. Her bright blue eyes looked up at the moon almost transfixed by it. Luckily she did not inherited her father’s werewolf gene but she still felt a certain pull inside of her whenever her eyes stared up at the moon.
She thought about all the friends she’d left behind the moment she’d gotten the call from her Uncle, she’d just told her friends that her father was in trouble and needed her help and Caleb, god what was he going to think when he saw her flat empty with all her stuff gone. She couldn’t think about Caleb right now, she knew her Uncles plus her father had sneaky ways of rummaging through people’s thoughts and if they found out about Caleb then she was done for. She pulled her phone out of her shorts pocket and realised she had thirteen messages and three missed calls, every single one of them from Caleb.
She jumped a little as she felt a hand on her shoulder as she spun round to face her Aunt Rebekah. The two blondes smiled at each other kindly. Rebekah was a good three or four inches taller than her with lighter hair but both held the exact same curls as Klaus and Rebekah’s hair was the same except different shades of blonde. Larisa’s eyes were a shade or two darker than Rebekah’s and held more of a threatening edge to them while Rebekah’s felt like daggers if she glared at you. They both knew the Salvatore brothers would know Klaus was missing by now and were possibly looking for him.
‘’Something on your mind Lara?’’ Rebekah asked moving to stand beside her niece. Larisa knew it was pointless in even trying to lie to her Aunt Rebekah as they both had the same flawless instincts they’d inherited from the original witch. She sighed as she forced her eyes to look up into her Aunts. Not only could old vampire read minds but if you knew how to do it properly then you could also show other vampires your memories. She showed her aunt Rebekah a memory of all of her friends and her at a friends nineteenth birthday party, then at her friends engagement then finally she plucked up the courage to show her Aunt a memory of her and Caleb sitting on the beach.
Rebekah looked slightly alarmed as she saw her niece with a handsome brunette male with sharp emerald green eyes, he looked at least six foot so he was a fair bit taller than Larisa. They were sitting on a beach, Larisa was sitting in-between the young males legs wearing his jacket while his arms were around her protectively keeping her against his chest as he rested his chin on her shoulder. She blinked as she was brought out of the memory. Rebekah grinned down at her now blushing niece.
‘’You miss him?’’ Rebekah asked. Larisa looked up at her aunt and nodded whilst pouting, Rebekah laughed as she noticed her all too familiar pout on her niece’s lips.
‘’And the problem is, I don’t think I’ll be seeing him any time soon, at least not with this whole drama fiasco going on’’ Larisa gave a half smile. Rebekah’s eyes softened towards her niece, she could tell that Lara genuinely liked this new male, she almost felt sorry for dragging her away from the life she’d settled down to.
