The Miracle Child

06

The girls came in the house and yelled a 'hi' before rushing over to Elena's bedroom. As of lately they have been secretive, I don't want to force them to tell me what they Have been up to and I have been feeling left out.

I ran my fingers into Jeremy's hair who laid his head on my lap. He looked up at me and smiled genuinely. "They'll come around, just give them time." he said.

"I am giving them time, but I can't help but wonder if maybe I did something wrong to them." I say. It's been a week since we last hung together. Yesteday they were suposed to join me at my appointment with the doctor but they missed it. They never even called to appologize, I won't lie, it hurt me that they forgot.

"Ri, if you wronged them in any way I'm sure Elena would have told you about it." He said, sitting upright. "Besides, I'm here and I'll keep you company for as long as you need me."

"I will always need you, Jeremy Gilbert." I said squeezing his chick making him laugh. He looked at his watch and frowned a little. "What?"

"Ri, I'm so sorry. I know I told you I'd keep you company but I had something scheduled up with Matt and Tyler." he pouted making me smile.

"It's okay, you can go." I said and he thanked me, kissing my cheek and rushed out. With the girls gigglig upstairs I didn't want to go there to my room. So I took my headphones and played my favorite song; running up that hill. I left the house and went into the woods, I just want to enjoy nature. I haven't taken a walk to the woods since my parents died, my dad and I would always take walks, into the woods.

It was fun, until one day, they leave me at the house because I was being moody and didn't want to go anywhere. The next thing after a few hours, Liz Forbes was in my doorway telling me of the tragedy that had befallen our family.

After walking for so long and my feet were tired. I rested upon a rock, that my dad and I would always come to. It had a nice view, it is a about a mile from town and it is kind of a hill where you can see the town below.

As I sat looking and admiring our small town, I felt like someone stood behind me. I took off my headphones and slowly turned around, what was I thinking coming here alone. No one would hear me even if I screamed, I totally forgot about supernatural beings.

When I had fully turned my entire body suddenly felt cold, my heart beat so fast it didn't give me time to breathe and my legs were shaking so much that my feet couldn't hold my body any longer.

The person that stood before me simply looked at me like he had never seen anything like me, he looked confused. I saw his lips moving which meant he was talking but I couldn't hear anything, his voice was faint and my vision couldn't keep up and in a blink of an eye everything went dark.

I opened my eyes and found myself laying in bed, a bed I don't know and the room was painted blue with a butterfly theme, there were paintings of butterflies hung on the wall, and the curtains had butterfly designs.

Where am I? I looked out the window and it was getting dark.I walked out the door, and standing in the hallway you can tell it is a mansion because of so many rooms there are. I walked down stairs and my intention was to sneak straight to the door and quickly get the hell out of here.

When I opened the front door he stood there like someone who had knocked and I had come to open the door for them. "Don't be afraid." he said as I began walking backwards. "If I wanted to hurt you I would have done that a long time ago."

"What do you want, who are you and why have you been following me?Are you trying to kill me? Answer me" I demanded. I stood my ground, and put a couragous face.

He walked in with a smirk revealing a dimple on one side of his face. "You ask a lot of questions Riley." he said and walked to the livingroom hoping I would follow him which I did. "Your friends might have told you about me, maybe that's why you got so cared seeing me."

"I have no idea who you are, the only thing I know is that you have been stalking me for months."

"My name is Klaus Mikaelon." My heart skipped a beat, my friends have experienced his wrath, his impulsive actions. He is the big, bad Original hybrid. But why has he been stalking me. "I won't hurt you." he said as I started to breathe uncontrollable.

"You, why?" I asked. I want to know why he followed me in the shadows, why he wouldn't show his face to me for months and why now?

"I don't know why, a few months ago I felt this pull like I needed to be here in Mytic Falls. I needed to find someone and know that they are safe." He poured me some water in a glass which I gladly took. "When I got here, the pull was stronger, it lead me to the Gilberts house. I thought it was Elena."

"That it was her blood that drove you here because you can create hybrids out of it?" I asked, I was interested in what he had to say. I needed to know maybe he would give me something that would help me remember.

He nodded as he poured himself a strong drink. "I thought so to too, but I realized it wasn't her. It was you."
