Watching her story

Private Talks

Angel is outside, admiring the horses. Klaus approaches her.

"You like horses?" Klaus asked his mate as he came to stand next to her. She had put her hair up and had a jacket on over her dress.

"I do, I like most animals to be honest. Especially magical creatures. Now why are you not inside with the others, where your mother can see you Darling." Angel said smiling over at Klaus as she continued petting the horse.

"I wanted to spend time to get to know you. Mother is too busy to realise I left, is that so hard to believe?" Klaus asked looking at his mate as she stood smiling at him under the stars.

Every time he looks at her his breath gets nocked out of him. She was beautiful. She looked perfect to him. The scars he could see showed she was a fighter and survivor and the way she wore them proudly left him in awe. It took him centuries to be able to show his scars in public.

"No it's not hard to imagine you want to get to know me. Your mother letting you out of her either however is hard to believe. Yes. She's very paranoid." Angel said with an amused smile bringing her hand away from the horse to face him.

"Why have I never heard of you when everyone else has? Did you put a spell on me so I couldn't find out anything about you?" Klaus asked his mate needing to know if it was an enemy who did the magic on him.

"I did a spell four years ago, when the war started so you and your family wouldn't be in danger. However I have been famous all my life so I'm not sure why you hadn't heard of me before that." Angel answered him truthfully with a nervous smile. She hopes he isn't too mad about her doing magic on him without his consent.

"I'm a little upset you performed magic on me without my knowledge but I know you did it because you care. Unlike most people who would do it to try and manipulate me." Klaus tells his mate with an understanding smile. She lets out a breath of relief seeing he was not angry. Then she runs the words over in her head and one word he said struck a cord in her.

"Manipulated. Of bloody course." Angel says in annoyance as her face lights up in realisation making Klaus confused.

"What is it Love? What have you realised?" Klaus asked his mate confused and intrigued.

"Albus bloody Dumbledore. Previous headmaster to my old school. Manipulative bastard died four years ago. Just before I cast my spell on you. Old coot always tried to keep me isolated and away from those who would care for me." Angel says in a voice an annoyed voice with her face something a mixture of frustrated, anger and resignation.

"Why would he do that to you love?" Klaus asked concerned. He really didn't like the idea of someone manipulating his mate.

"Easier for him to manipulate me if I feel alone. Also less people to stop his plan of using me as a human sacrifice to defeat the madman he used to teach." She says annoyed and Klaus eyes glow when he heard the old man was responsible for her death.

'How dare the bastard manipulate his mate and set her up to die!' Klaus thinks to himself enraged.

"If he wasn't dead I'd torture the bastard for keeping you from me. He deserves even worse for what he did to you!" Klaus said in anger, his hybrid face on full display.

"Trust me I want a peice of him myself. Unfortunately the old coot is dead and gone. At least he can't cause anymore harm to us now." Angel says putting her hand on his arm in comfort.
