"Do you feel that?" I whisper, stepping out onto the porch. I pull on Niklaus' hand, asking him to follow me as I take another few steps.

"Feel what?" he asks, thankfully following me. I reluctantly let go of Niklaus' hand and pull off my boots. Rebekah had given me a whole new set of clothing, including shoes. She delivered beautifully.

I slowly pressed my feet into the grass and grinned widely. "That" I say, suddenly breaking out into a run. I jumped around, spinning in circles, enjoying the fresh air and soaking in the sun. I laugh as I feel Niklaus' stare.

"I still don't understand" he tells me, smiling at my enthusiasm. He continues to stand there on the last step of the porch, with his hands in his pockets. He was simply watching me. I think it comforted him to know I was safe in his sights.

I find myself stopping in the middle of the yard, realising he didn't feel what I felt. Kind of like when I couldn't explain why I was being pulled towards the house Esther was doing her spell.

I slowly lower myself to the grass, feeling drawn to it. I notice a small yellow flower in the distance and crawl my way towards it. I kneel down in front of it and lean my head to the side, examining it.

"What do you feel, Faith?" Niklaus asks. I open my mouth to answer him but it instantly closes, because I don't know what to say. I don't know what I feel.

"It's almost like," I whisper, "I can feel nature."

I reach out my hand to touch the small beautiful flower and gasp. I do. I feel nature. I laugh, grinning widely. How is this possible?

I gently grasp the flower with both hands. I don't understand. Why didn't I feel this before, why can I only feel it now?

I scream lowly, falling back on my butt. I instantly feel Niklaus holding me from behind, coming straight to my rescue. "What happened?"

"Look."

Both of our gazes travelled to the small flower.

It's blooming.

More like growing rapidly.

I watch in amazement, knowing Niklaus was watching it the exact same way.

I can't explain it.

It's almost like...

Magic.

"It isn't possible" I hear Niklaus say behind me.

"I didn't," I turn to him, "I mean, I couldn't" I stumble over my words.

"Oi, you lot!" Both of our heads snap towards the mansion, to see Rebekah standing on the porch. "What the bloody hell do you think you're doing? You're getting dirt all over that dress!"

I can't help but laugh. Only Rebekah would be worried about my dress. It was a nice way to break the confusing thoughts running through my mind.

"Oh the horror!" I call back, only then realising I didn't need to yell. She can hear me even if I whisper.

"Listen," she starts to walk towards us, making disgusted faces as she sees her shoes are getting covered in dirt. "I'm off to that dreadful bridge, you guys gonna be okay without me?"
