His (A Niklaus Mikaelson Fanfic)

Chapter 19: My Nightingale

The past few days have been a blur. I'm mainly reading desperately trying to find a solution or at least some more answers. Nothing. It's been five days since Kol's appearance and I can feel his presence whenever we leave the apartment. It's almost scary yet understandable. I can feel his hurt and willingness to help but it has been twisted by magic. He's being used. We had fifteen days left and I was starting to lose hope.

It was midnight and I watched as the number on my wrist changed to fourteen. I sighed and buried my face in my lap and ran my fingers through my hair. I felt the couch sink beside me. I smiled as his familiar scent filled my nose while he wrapped his arms around me pulling me as close as possible to him. "I know love. I know." He whispered in my ear. "You need a break. Why don't you draw or sing or something?" I nodded and stood up. I could feel his eyes watching me.

"Please don't lose hope love. The only thing I like about myself is you." I turned to look at Nik. "If I lose you I have nothing." "You have your family." I croaked. He shook his head. "It's not the same." Did I forget to mention Nik and I had been fighting lately? "Go get some rest love." I sighed before I walked into my room and closed the door behind me.

I picked my guitar up and my song book. I started to write lyrics down as I strummed my guitar. It started to sound really good as I sang it.

I can't sleep tonight.

Wide awake and so confused.

Everything's in line but I am bruised.

I need to echo.

I need a light to take me home.

I kinda need a hero. Is it you?

I never see the forest or the trees.

I could really use your melody.

Babe I'm a little blind.

I think it's time for you to find me.

Can you be my nightingale?

Sing to me I know you're there.

You be my sanity

Bring me peace

Sing me to sleep.

Say you'll be my nightingale.

I stopped playing and smiled. It sounds really good. I rubbed my eyes and froze. I didn't realize I was crying. "Why am I crying?" I wondered outloud. It's because you know that deep down Klaus is your nightingale.For bringing you back to life after years of useless and meaningless life. A voice at the back of my head said. I shook my head. That was so cheesey it wasn't even funny.

I put my guitar and song book away. I walked outside to see Klaus passed out on the couch. His hair was messy and book rested on his bare chest while his hands seemed to almost cling to his grey sweat pants. I chuckled to myself as I set the book down on the table and wrapped a blanket around him. He wrapped his arm around my waist but I felt his fingers dig into my skin. This isn't Nik.

I twisted his wrist. "Careful Kol I may kill you before your brother gets the chance." I said as Kol chuckled at my sudden act of hostility. "What's wrong can't find anything? You won't. You will die Alice. You know why? My brother would never die for you because he doesn't love you." Kol laughed evilly. "Aw how cute! The ass who's never been in a relationship is giving me advice on mine!" I brought Kol to his knees then threw him out of the house through the balcony beside the living room.

Klaus re-entered the house and immidiately shot towards the window. "He isn't here anymore Klaus." I said he came back appearing before me. "He-" His lips covered mine before I could say anything. I smiled into his kiss wrapping my arms around my neck. He grabbed the back of my thighs and lifted me off the ground then pressed me against nearest wall.

"I know what he said love. I was standing outside the door listening. Magic prevented me from entering or you hearing me but I could hear it all." He whisperd as his hands rested on either side of my head. "Mmm. Well it's okay Klaus. I know you love me." He laughed. "It's funny because I had no idea what love was a week ago and then you happened." I connected my lips with his once more. I felt his warm hands grip my hips as I nuzzled his neck. "I didn't believe in love until you happened." I said earning another kiss.

"See what you've done to me Alice?" I chuckled and released my legs. He smiled still pressing me against the wall allowing his lips to softly press against my neck as he trailed down from my lips. His hands slipped beneath my shirt sliding up my back as his lips glided lower. "K-Klaus." I mumbled biting my lip harshly to stop my curses from leaving my lips.

I growled switching our positions and pinning him to the wall. Nik bore his fangs and switched our positioning once again. I tore the front of his shirt down the middle as Nik shrugged off the peice of clothing. He lifted me up pinning my hands above my head kissing me furiously. "Nik." I said softly earning a grunt from him.

"Klaus c'mon we have to continue searching." I whispered. "Fine." He murmered in irritation. He pulled back, gave me a kiss on my nose and left to change. I sat down and continued to read and hope to find a solution.

As I sat sipping tea I found just what we were looking for in the book Kol had been pretending to read. I honestly wish I hadn't. In the book it read: in order to save their lives the cursed one must make the ultimate sacrifice of love. They must take their own life. However if the cursed one wishes to save the other lover's life they must die at the altar by a vampire's hand under the full moon by the original blade.

Klaus would never agree to letting one of his siblings drive a blade through my heart the night of the full moon. He'd want to get seven different people to approve of the information then want someone he trusted to do it. I shook my head sighing when a thought struck me. There is one vampire who'd do anything to save my life whether he'd care to admit it or not. I sighed in realization. I needed Kol's help in order to save Klaus' life. I looked down at the paper and saw the cresent moon and sun symbol that I had seen in a dream. Who is this witch? I thought.

I shook my head no I need to focus. I needed to get it together. Kol. I need to speak to Kol. I needed to make a deal with the devil.
