Chapter 18 *Drowning*

  Bea POV

My breath is still slow.
My heart still beats fast.
My mind is still in a panic.
Even though i am at rest.
It's a never ending feeling I want to end.

I was swinging on a old rotted swing that was attached to a old tree. The trees where blooming and beautiful has always. I was a old but classic dress i always loved to wear a long time ago when i was a little girl. Aunt Crystal came over to me. "Auntie?" I asked "Hi Honey" She said smiling brightly. "How are you here?" I asked. "Im just here to see you my sweet girl." She said smiling. "I wanted to warn you.Your going to discover a lot of things i the next few months that will change everything. And you will become more and more powerful." She said "What? Why"I asked "You'll find out soon Honey i promise. You'll learn you hold great power. But please Just remember my sweet little Hope." She said. Creasing my face "The power i gave you isn't just mine. The power works around you, It changes and forms into the power you would have been born with if you were born with magic naturally. The magic and the wolf inside you all the stories you were meant to tell it doesn't define you. You are your own person, Emotional but Strong. Curious but Smart. Stubborn but Thoughtful. Just be true to you Honey." She said. "I will Auntie" I said "Goodbye Little Bird" She said. Then i was very confused she never called me Little Bird only Nik did. "Little Bird" I kept hearing over and over again.
I opened my eyes to see i was in my room with Nik sitting next to my laying body. "Good morning Little Bird" Nik said. My head was pounding has i held it sitting up. "How long was i out?" I asked "About 12 hours" He said. I signed loudly "Who knows about my little blow out?" I asked "Rebekah,Elijah,Hayley,Jackson,Marcel,Josh,Aiden,Davi-" He said and i cut him off. "So basically all of New Orleans. Nice." I said sarcastically "It's okay love. We all have different reaction to death" He said softly. I paused "When were you going to tell me. Were you even going to tell me!" I said getting louder. "Calm down love. I was going to tell you. Davina and Rebekah have been working on a spell to get him back since before he died. He'll be back Beatrice." He said. He signs " I didn't you to worry to much. You and Hope just got back and i need to make sure that your in check to protect Hope, so i don't lose the both of you." He said putting his head down a bit. I signed. Nik got up and headed towards the door. "Nik?" I said "Yes Love?" He said turning towards me at the door frame. "Lay with me?" I said. He gave me a look telling me no he had things he needed to do. "Please Niklaus? Only for a few minutes I don't want to be alone right now after my episode. After ill get dressed and go with you.... I'm just being lazy and don't want to get up." I said. He laughed a bit at me calling myself lazy. He walked over and laid next to me and wrapped an arm around me and i put my head on his chest.
"How are you doing love?" He asked after 2 minutes of silence. "I don't know, Every time i have these attacks or i let this drama get to me i just- i don't know how i feel." I said . I knew what i felt i just didn't want to tell Nik how i felt and make him think i hated being in his family. Cause that wasn't it. I love them, maybe too much. They just know how to tick my buttons without meaning to. "You do love, tell me." He said. I stayed silent. "Love please" He shockingly pleaded. I sighed " I feel like I'm drowning. I love New Orleans. I love my friends and my family with you guys. But.... But sometimes it gets to me. And i have these attacks and it effects me. It changes me. For a day, a week and month. But drowning is one of the most painful things. You let it take over your whole body and wait for that blast of air to revive you or you wait to see the blackness that made your heart race and fears heighten." I said. He stayed quiet. I gripped his shirt tight. "It doesn't mean i regret coming back trust me there was plenty of this in Mystic Falls but even though this brings stress in my life it also has some really great times and people i never would take back." I said. He kissed my forehead. We stayed in silence for another 5 minutes.
I pulled away from Klaus and I sat up on the bed taking a big breath. I could feel Klaus's eyes on me. "Stop starring" I stated "I can;t help myself love. Your beauty takes over" He said. I turned at the smirking hybrid and hit is chest. I started blushing so i rushed off the bed and grabbed a pair of clothes and went to take a quick shower.
I put a spell on the room so that Klaus wouldn't hear anything i was doing. I always found that weird i guess. I never liked how people could hear when i got in and out of the shower and so on. I got in the shower and washed up. And right when i was about to turn the water off i felt me knees go weak and my legs give out. I started coughing and chocking. Soon water came out pouring out of my mouth and then blood. I was scared and in shock once it was over. I sat there for i minute has the blood went down the drain. What in the world what happening to me. What i dying? Was that Dahlia? Or Freya sending a message? When i got out the shower i quickly got so Klaus wouldn't question what was taking me so long. I looked i myself in the mirror once more, Checking to make sure i was in one piece. I was but i didn't feel like it..
When i came out Nik was still on my bed checking his phone. "Get up" I stated "I don't know,I'm pretty comfy love." He said "Lazy." I stated with a bit of a laugh "Your rubbing off on my little bird" He said "Oh no." Is all i stated. Klaus got off the bed and walked to the door. "You coming love?" He asked "Yea" I stated grabbing my phone and walked behind him.
I have to make sure Nik doesn't find out about this not until i know what's happening to me....
