Fated Bonds

33

The house was unusually quiet, a rare occurrence when living with the Mikaelsons. Sabrina found herself wandering aimlessly, missing the presence of her lovers . Klaus and Rebekah were out dealing with some urgent business, leaving her alone to her thoughts. She meandered through the halls, feeling the absence of their vibrant energy.

As she entered the kitchen, she noticed an envelope resting on the counter with her name written in Klaus’s elegant script. Her curiosity piqued, she opened it and read the note inside:

---

**My Dearest Sabrina,**

I know you've mentioned wanting a hot tub only once, but I thought it was time to make that wish come true. You'll find it near the pool. I hope it brings you as much relaxation and joy as you bring into our lives.

With all my love,

Klaus

Sabrina couldn't help but smile, her heart swelling with affection for Klaus. She quickly made her way outside to the pool area, where,  a brand-new hot tub was waiting for her. On top of the cover, she found two bathing suits—one a red string bikini, and the other a more modest yet equally cute option. Klaus had also left another note:

Laughing at Klaus’s thoughtfulness, Sabrina decided to call Caroline. She knew her sister would appreciate the gesture and wanted to share this moment with her.

"Hey Care, you free to come over?" Sabrina asked when Caroline picked up.

"Sure, what's up?" Caroline replied.

"I have something to show you. Klaus got me a hot tub, and I think you’ll love it too."

"I’ll be there in ten," Caroline said, excitement evident in her voice.

True to her word, Caroline arrived quickly. They walked to the pool together, Caroline’s eyes widening when she saw the hot tub.

"This is amazing, Sabrina!" Caroline exclaimed. "Klaus really outdid himself."

"I know, right?" Sabrina said, still beaming. "He remembered I mentioned it once and surprised me with this."

As they settled into the hot tub, Caroline admired the effort Klaus had put into making Sabrina happy.

"He really loves you, you know," Caroline said, smiling warmly.

"I do," Sabrina replied, sinking deeper into the warm water. "He's always doing these little things to show it. Like those paintings."

Caroline raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips. "The ones where he captures your every expression? Kinda creepy if you think about it."

Sabrina laughed, shaking her head. "I suppose it could be, but I love them. It's his way of showing how much he sees me."

They both laughed, the sound of their amusement filling the quiet backyard. It felt good to relax and joke around, a stark contrast to the usual intensity of their lives.

"So, i love your bikini i do but dont you think your mates want  to see more  Caroline asked, eyeing the option she wore.

"Yeah, I went with the modest one. Didn’t think the string bikini was necessary for this."

"Good call," Caroline laughed. "I bet Nik would’ve had a heart attack."

"Probably," Sabrina giggled. "I can only imagine his reaction."

They spent the next hour chatting and laughing, the conversation flowing easily. They talked about everything from their childhood memories to the current state of Mystic Falls. The atmosphere was light and filled with joy, a much-needed respite from their usual troubles.

"Remember that time you tried to convince Mom you could fly?" Caroline asked, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

"Oh God, don’t remind me," Sabrina groaned. "I jumped off the garage roof and broke my arm. You laughed so hard you nearly peed your pants."

Caroline chuckled, nodding. "And then I got grounded for a month for not stopping you."

"Hey, you’re the older sister. It’s your job to keep me out of trouble," Sabrina teased.

"Yeah, well, you’ve always been a handful," Caroline shot back playfully. "But I wouldn’t trade you for anything."

Sabrina smiled, feeling a warm rush of affection for her sister. "Same here, Care. Thanks for always being there for me."

"Anytime, sis," Caroline replied, squeezing her sister’s hand. 

As the night grew colder, Caroline decided to head home, leaving Sabrina alone. Sabrina changed into the other bikini, wanting to surprise Klaus once he returned. She felt a mix of excitement and nerves, anticipating his reaction.

When Klaus arrived, his eyes lit up at the sight of her in the hot tub. He walked over, his presence instantly making her feel at ease.

"How do you like your surprise, love?" Klaus asked, his gaze soft and warm.

"It’s perfect," Sabrina replied, standing up to give him a better view of the bikini. "Thank you so much, Nik. This means a lot to me."

Klaus’s eyes roved appreciatively over her, but when he noticed the string bikini, a faint blush colored his cheeks. "You look stunning, Sabrina. I must say, I like this one," he said, indicating the more modest bikini, "but you certainly know how to make a statement with the other."

Sabrina laughed, delighted by his reaction. "I’m glad you think so."

They spent the rest of the evening relaxing in the hot tub, enjoying each other's company. As the stars began to twinkle overhead, Sabrina felt a deep sense of happiness and belonging. She knew that no matter what challenges they faced, they would always have moments like these to cherish.

Finally, as the night grew colder, they headed back inside. Sabrina climbed into bed with Klaus and Rebekah, feeling their arms wrap around her in a protective embrace. She whispered softly, "Always and forever," before drifting off to sleep, knowing she was exactly where she was meant to be.

When Sabrina woke up the next morning, a strange feeling of unease washed over her. The warmth and security she had felt the previous night, wrapped in the arms of Klaus and Rebekah, seemed to have dissipated. She slowly opened her eyes, the early morning light filtering through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room. Something was off. The house was too quiet, a stark contrast to the usual bustling energy that filled it.

As she carefully slipped out of bed, trying not to disturb her still-sleeping partners, a sense of dread settled in her chest. The comforting presence of the Mikaelsons, which had always been her anchor, now felt distant and fragile. She moved through the house, her steps tentative, as if expecting something to jump out at her from the shadows.

Her mind raced with a thousand thoughts, each one more unsettling than the last. The hot tub and the joyous laughter with Caroline seemed like a distant memory, overshadowed by an unknown weariness that gnawed at her. The air felt heavy, charged with an unspoken tension. Sabrina couldn’t shake the feeling that something had changed, that the tranquility they had enjoyed was merely a fleeting respite, and the harsh reality of their world was creeping back in.
