Paint it Black [The Vampire Diaries]

Imani giggles, weaving her way through the towns crowd as she runs from Ebony and her friend, Qetsiyah.

"My apologies sister," she squeals, looking back briefly to see her sister and her friend drenched in wine from the joke she played on them. She continues to go through the crowd, looking back to see if her sister and her friend have caught up, not paying attention in front of her when she bumps into a hard wall.

Or she thought it was.

She closes her eyes, hands out to catch herself.

"Are you okay?" A man's voice asks her. Imani opens her eyes, her breath hitching when she meets the most beautiful pair of forest green eyes. The man's smile falls, looking at her in awe.

"I'm fine, thank you," Imani whispers. Was the world always this quiet? The man's thick brows furrow, mouth open to say something.

"Imani!" Ebonys voice calls out through the crowd catching the duos attention. Imani looks to see her sister's big hair dried now, white dress stained red. "Don't run!"

Imani panics, stepping away from the man and runs, looking back to wave at him, disappearing into the crowd.

The man watches her, a dumb smile on his face, "Imani."

"Hello, Silas," Qetsiyah tells him, breathing heaving as she leans on her knees from running, smiling up at him as she twirls her hair. The man, Silas, nods at her, still looking at the area that Imani had ran through.

Qetsiyah looks at where he's looking in confusion. She's right next to him, where is he looking?

Silas sighs happily, turning a round to get back to his activities, his mind full of the most beautiful eyes he'd ever seen that went perfect with the most perfect smile he'd ever seen, on the most perfect woman he'd ever had the privilege to meet.

"Am I to assume that as we look for your long lost love, I play the helpful husband?" Klaus had been threatens by Undaku that if he didn't  help, they'd test his immortality by removing his penis and heart, bones removed from his body. And that was the light version of what his father in law had said.

"I'll take it as part of your apology after all these years," Imani glared at him, hand in hand with Ivar. Her hands didn't go unnoticed by Klaus though, who smirked at the taller man. "And when we find this epic love of yours that threatened the balance of nature, where will your guard dog go?" Ivars eyes flash a bright blue causing Klaus's neck to snap.

Imani hadn't really thought of that. Her relationship with Ivar was something she placed a high importance on. If what her Mother said was true, where does that place them? I mean, are they even together?

Ivar grabs her hand, "Don't listen to the mutt, Mani." Imani takes him to another room, closing the door behind them. "You listened to him."
