CHAPTER THIRTY THREE

The sound of a knock woke me from my slumber. I cracked my eyes open and felt a momentary panic, forgetting where I was. I looked around the room, my room in the Mikaelson Mansion, I realised. It was easily twice the size of any room I had stayed in previously. The morning light flooded through the many windows and I brought my hand up to shield my eyes.

The room had not been decorated yet, and was empty with the exception of a wardrobe and the bed I had slept on. I didn't plan on actually moving in, especially after the things I learnt last night, but it was nice to have my own space in their home for when I needed an escape. I would definitely broach the subject of adding some more furniture and decorative items.

The knock sounded again and I blinked as I sat up, pulling the blanket up to cover my bare chest. I'd had no clothes to change into after removing my dress so I had slept naked. After making sure I was fully covered, I called out, "Come in!"

An older woman walked into the room, carrying a pile of towels and I frowned in confusion.

"Good morning, Miss Gilbert." She smiled, placing the towels at the end of the bed, "Here are some towels for your morning shower. Your wardrobe has already been stocked full of clothes and you can find a toothbrush in the ensuite bathroom."

She pointed at the door, which led to my private bathroom and I gaped at her, "Um... Who are you exactly?"

"Samantha, the maid." She said with a polite smile and my eyes widened. Of course the Mikaelsons had hired a maid!

"It's nice to meet you." I said awkwardly, conscious of my messy hair and state of undress.

"Is there anything else I can get for you, Miss Gilbert?"

Feeling a cramp in my stomach, I groaned and nodded, "Actually, Yeah. I think my period has started, could you possibly get me some sanitary products?"

Samantha smiled warmly, "Your bathroom has been fully stocked with everything you may require. You can find sanitary pads and tampons in the cupboard under the sink and painkillers in the medicine cabinet."

I let out a choked laugh, "Wow, Klaus is really prepared."

"Is there anything else you need, Miss Gilbert?"

"No, thank you." I smiled at her as she left the room, shutting the door behind her.

Throwing the covers off of me, I grimaced at the sight of blood on the sheets. With the chaos of everything, I had completely forgotten that my period was due, which was probably why I had been so emotional over the past few days.

On the plus side, at least I wasn't pregnant.

Although if the crazy witch Melissa was correct, one day I would be. Thanks to her antics, I would forever be over paranoid about sleeping with non-vampires. I liked children but I was in no way ready to become a mother.

After showering and taking care of everything, I headed downstairs, finding my former fiancé sitting on the sofa, a sketch pad in his lap. He smiled warmly at me as I walked in and sat on the couch opposite him.

"How did you sleep, love?" He asked as his pencil moved across the paper.

"I practically fell asleep the moment my head hit the insanely soft pillow." I chuckled, "How did things go after I left last night?"

"Well, whilst you were smooching Finn," He began and my mouth gaped open, prompting him to add, "Yes, Kol told me. Anyway, I got to kill my mother for the second time and then Elijah and I set alight to her body to make sure she stays dead this time."
