The Miracle Child

10

Stefan never came back with the cake he said he would bring, it's funny coz I now want to eat it. I'm outside on the portch watching the stars, I felt suffocated in the house and I needed some air. 

"Hello love" I heard the familiar voice of the British accent I now love so much. My heart skipped and I slowly turned. "Shouldn't you be the center of the party, yet here you are alone and outside?" oh that accent and that smirk.

"I just needed some air." I said softly. 

"You look beatiful in that dress, fit for a queen such as yourself." 

I sent him a small smile, I don't know how to act. Do I act like I hate him because my friends do or do I just act normal?

"You should probably leave, everyone inside there that knows you is not fond of you." 

Klaus reached for his pocket and pulled out a white box, he took out a golden necklace with two hearts and a woman that lifted a baby in her hands. "I was told you are having a baby shower party and I thought I should bring you something." His voice was gentle and surpringly I was calm.

"I picked this myself, I think it fits the occasion."He stepped behind me, I pulled up my hair and he put the necklace around my neck. "Keep wearing that necklace, it looks good with your blue eyes." I looked up to him, he stared right back at me whilst playing with my hair. "What pulls me to you Riley? Is it love? Is it something else? Klaus Mikaelson doesn't love, so what is this feeling?" He kissed my forehead.

"I'm confused as well, but you don't make it easy for me." I whispered, I wasn't afraid of him anymore, seeing him brought me joy.

"Don't worry about it, I'll fix it for you." he said, he was going to compel me. I tried to face another way but he was quick to grab my face. "You will forget that I gave you that necklace and everything you think you feel for me. You will forget that I was here." I closed my eyes and opened them. As soon as I did I found Stefan standing in the doorway.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm just tired." I held onto the necklace on my neck, and smiled. It's beautiful, I love it. But  where did I get it?

I gasped awake sweating and panting, I felt someone's hands chocking me and rushed for the lamp on my nightstand. But before I could reach the light, I was swept of the bed with a force I couldn't understand and hit my back aganinst the wall. 

I screamed in pain for Jenna and my siblings. When my vision focussed I saw a girl with short hair. "I'm sorry." she held out a knife. "I have to kill you, it's nothing personal but a job I have to do." 

I picked a vase of flowers and hit her with it, while she was on the floor I took off but unfortunately there was a barrier blocking me from going outside my bedroom. Soon Jenna and my siblings were at the door banging on practically nothing visible keeping us from crossing. 

The girl pulled me further into the room. "I still want to have fun with you." she pulled me by my hair and laughed at Jenna and Jeremy at the door. "Say goodbye to your sister or whatever she is to you." she said while laughing.

"Please I'm pregnant" I begged. "Don't hurt me." she laughed evily. I was bleeding, which is not good, I can't loose my daughter, I haven't even met her and I won't be able to take it.  I was in a lot of pain, my stomach hurt like it never before.

"Do you know Freya?" she asked. I couldn't even look up to her as I sobbed. "She wants your unborn child dead, I don't know what her problem is with you, not that I care but she promised she can help me with my revenge on Klaus.

She crouched down beside me, "My name is Cassandra Clair, the Mikaelsons killed my niece Davina and somehow Freya says killing you and your stupid baby is getting revenge on the Mikaelsons. What makes you special Riley mmh?" 

"I have no idea what you're saying, I don't know who the Mikaelsons are"

"Shut up! Shut your mouth! You know very well who they are. I know this trick, you just want to save your neck but guess what you are as good as dead." She raised her hand and my head almost exploded. I head Jenna and Elena crying, begging her to stop. She is clearly a witch.

"Fun time is over, time to die Riri. It's a shame all this beauty is all going to go to waste. I can't help but wonder, who is the father and why is Freya keen on killing this thing in your womb?"

"Cassandra!!!! Enough" I heard it, it's that British accent. He is angry and fuming. "It's me you want right, here I am." he said, anger radiating off of him. I now see the Klaus Mikaelson that everyone else knows, and not the guy I saw the other day at the Grill, not the guy with the dimples and a beatiful smirk but thee Klaus.

Cassandra laughed "Hello Klaus, I didn't think I'd see you here at four in the morning." she looked at me "Girl you must be special to have this degenerate defend you." she laughed. "But you can't walk through my thresh hold Klaus, I'd go back to sleep if I were you."

"Let her go, or you will not leave to see another day once I get a hold of you. If you touch even a hair on her head I will make you bleed, you will beg for mercy but know this you will still die even after that. Let her go!!!" 

Cassandra held me frozen in place, I couldn't move even if I wanted to and she held the knife to my throat. I couldn't scream nor cry out loud, tears kept pouring out. She did something to me.

"I don't care, this is my revenge to you Klaus Mikaelson. Farewell Riley" Klaus was too late, he took a knife from Elena and threw it at her chest but she had already slit my throat open.
