Our Secrets

Moving on...

Elena's Point of View:

It has been just over 2 months, Kol and I had moved to Chicago, into our own place away from all the drama of Mystic Falls. I didn't fully believe that all the trouble was over, and that drama wasn't trying to find us but I had hope and I had Kol. Kol has been more relaxed and calm, however he has had his moments of course, draining bodies etc but? I didn't mind, well not as much as I did when we were back in Mystic Falls. 

I still think of Klaus, and how I broke his heart, and I feel terrible, but I truly love Kol and I wasn't repeating what happened with Damon and Stefan with Kol and Klaus. I refuse to do the same with them. Klaus will find his own happiness and someone who makes him happy. I am not the one, sadly.

Now that Kol and I have settled in Chicago, I have managed to become a junior doctor at the hospital. It benefits the both of us, I enjoy my job, while I can sneak home blood bags for Kol. There was a close encounter of me being caught but me being me, I managed to get away. We live in a house, well mansion. Kol insists that we live in a mansion, don't ask me why. I wanted a small home, but I didn't make a fuss. I want kids, but I haven't told Kol, but I think he secretly knows. But either way I will be happy, I have a job where I can easily help people, and I have Kol. 

Kol has gone out for a walk...or rather to get a drink, and I am at home, as its my day off and I finally had a chance to catch up on my sleep. I sit up, and before frowning, feeling faint and dizzy. I groan as I hold my stomach and rush to the bathroom, before throwing my insides out. I finish and quickly clean up. My frown deepens thinking of what the cause of this could be...what could it be? Seems like I will be making a trip to the hospital then...

I groan and change quickly before rushing to the front door. I stop in my tracks having ran into someone, I look up and see a face I do not recognise.

"Oh..." I stutter, "I'm sorry...how can I help you?" I mean the lady was outside my house, so what could she want? She didn't seem in any kind of trouble...

"How can you help me? Well lets just say that you should be dead...or your child should be."

I frown and tilt my head a little, "My child...? I can't get pregnant..."

The lady laughed and waved her hand before I fell unconscious.

I groaned, in pain, my head throbbing in pain. I open my eyes slowly, not recognising where I was. I try and get up but feel my wrist bound to the chair. I groan again trying to remember what happened before I passed out. One thing for sure is that the lady, whoever she may be, knew who I was, she was obviously a witch, and wanted my non-existent child dead...

"I see you have awoken." The lady appeared from the darkness ahead of me. She had long back hair, kind of old, but I have a feeling she hasn't aged for centuries...

"What do you want with me?!" I shout, angry that I had been taken for no apparent reason.

She sighed, "Well, for starters, I am Dahlia, Kol's aunt." 

I looked at her shocked. Kol has an aunt. "And I am tied up because...?"

"You are carrying Kol's child...soon to be my child. You see a thousand years ago, Esther betrayed me, and married Mikael, however she found it difficult to have children. I, being a powerful witch who practiced, was able to give her the ability to conceive. But, I was hurt from what she did to me, so I...made a deal. For every firstborn of her children, was to be mine. And here you are, carrying Kol's firstborn, which I will take when he or she is born. If you do not believe that I am telling you the truth, I will show you."
