Klaus's Pet Prequel

51

Lorelei's POV:

I stand next to Nik and stare out into the field where two horses are running about. He turns to face me, excited. I shield my eyes with my hand and watch as the two horses run and see the power behind them.

"You want me to ride one of those?" I ask
"That was the deal." He says with a smirk

I sigh.

He was right.

We'd all been making bets over the week on who would win in a race, Kol or Rebekah. I had bet on Rebekah and she'd lost.

"I would like to point out the fact that Kol cheated." I say

Kol had tripped her.

"Do you have any evidence?" He asks amused

I glare at him.

"That's what I thought." He says teasingly

We'd been challenging one another to do things we'd rather not do.

Since I lost the bet, I was up first.

A wolf riding a horse. Imagine that.

We watch as the horses make their way towards their owner who is filling up their water buckets. We make our way over and Nik takes my hand and places it palm up and gently touches the horse's neck. My fingers graze along his soft fur.

He trots a little and snickers and I smile as does Nik.

"You ready?" He asks
"As I'll ever be." I say

He helps get me situated on my horse then he climbs on. I get a little nervous as we start out but after a few moments as the horse begins to trot a little, I start to relax.

Then he takes off running. I'm jostled all over the place and grip the saddle and hope he doesn't throw me off. I catch Nik as he directs his horse to go faster and they dash forward. I watch as they move from the right of us to directly in front of us. My horse neighs and skids to a halt. I take a minute to catch my breath, resting my head on the horse.

"How're you doing love?" Nik asks
"That was great. Let's do it again." I say sarcastically but when I look at Nik who's holding back a snicker, I can't help but laugh.

We start trotting along again down to a trail. The leaves are changing from green to reds and oranges. It's beautiful.

I inhale deeply, taking in the scent.

Klaus's POV:

I stare at Lorelei, her dark black hair blowing lightly in the breeze. Her eyes are closed and she's smiling with her arms out, enjoying the cool air.

After a moment, her eyes meet mine again and she gives me a shy smile.

"I have a dumb question." She asks
"Oh as long as it's only a dumb question." I tease

She makes a face at me.

"Okay. Ask away."

She looks a little bit embarrassed but her curiosity eats away at her.

"Can you compel horses?"
