I could see my sister standing behind him an evil smirk over her lips. 

"Leave, Ava. I don't want you here. I don't love you. It was all just a lie. Besides, I found someone better. Someone who won't fake her death and leave me and lie to me." Niklaus stood in front of her looking down at me in my silver Greek dress and green cloak.

Wait! Greek dress? Green cloak?

I shot up in bed, sweat dripping down my forehead. What was that? Why did Nik say that? Why was Amara there? Could she have come back?

No! No. Amara is not back. It's just all this guilt getting to my head.

I swung my legs over the side of the bed, and rubbed my eyes. I need to dance. Grabbing my phone and aux cord, I straightened out my long night dress and walked out the room bare foot. As I reached the ball room stereo, I hooked up my phone and blasted music. I searched through all my music and came across 'Thinking Out Loud' by Ed Sheeran.

I love this song. I let the beginning play as I moved my hips along with the beat. Suddenly, clapping boomed through out the room. Turning, there stood Niklaus in all his glory. And I don't mean naked. I mean he wore a vest, a button up white shirt, dress pants, and nice, slick, black dress shoes.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, blushing.

"I do live here, my love." He smirked.

"I know that." I rolled my eyes. "I mean how did you find me?"

"All I had to do was follow the music." He replied, motioning towards the stereos.

"Oh."

"Care to dance?" I looked up into his blue beautiful orbs. He must have zoomed over here.

"Niklaus..."

"Just one dance, love. We barely got to dance at the ball." I stared up at the man. He is right. I only danced once or twice with him, yet I can't get close to him again. They will kill him. However, one dance can't hurt. Can it?

"Fine. Just one." I place my hand in his. "Think you can pick up?" I smiled.

"Haven't I always?" He smirked, kissing my hand.

Blushing, I ran to the stereo and restarted the song. Next thing you know, Niklaus and I where back at it again. Just him and I against the world.
