Torn ( klaus love story)

Background

Klaus---

Through out the night i think of her. When i first found her, when we danced, and when we talked today.

I pace back and forth in my room when i notice sonething shining. The silver ring was still on my night stand. I pick it up and run my thumb across the engraved word on the ring.

Alexandra only mentioned her brother she didn't say anything else about her family, i wonder why?

I shake my head.
"she's just a girl i don't care."

I think of her again, how she talks how she smiles, how her chocolate hair danced whenever the wind struck her.

"She's just food! I yelled.

"Oh but she's not brother". Elijah stands at the door.

"how long have you been there."

"long enough to see your struggling with your feelings"

"what feelings, i have none"

"yes you do, feelings for that Alexandra girl. I saw you two dancing at the party i know love when i see it."

"That was not love, it was simple seduction so i could feed from her but i couldn't because Regina interrupted us "

"don't lie to me klaus i know you feel something for her if you didn't you wouldn't of saved her,"

" Well i won't be doing that again, such a waste of a meal"

" You can't keep living like this, isolated from people."

"What do you want from me."

"I want you to feel i want you to understand that your life cant be all blood and death."

"That's who i am Elijah, nothing can change it."

"Alexandra can and i think you want her to."

"leave me be im tired."

He steps closer to me.

"I just dont want you to be alone forever brother, ill leave you now goodnight."

He pats me on the shoulder and heads out the door.

I stare at the ring again and then throw it on the night  stand again.

" Im not alone."

Alexandra---

Im meating klaus in an hour and i have nothing to wear! I look through my trunk full of skirts and shirts and i like none of it. I looj through my brothers trunk, sonetimes i wear his clothes.i shut it, theres nothing good.

I pace through the hut not knowing what to do, but then i look at a big chest in the corner. My mothers chest, its full of her old things i haven't opened it in a long time. I go through it and i find this beautiful dark red skirt. She said that one of her old gypsy friends gave it to her on her wedding.

I try it on and it looks beautiful. I got to my trunk and look for my black corset that has red orchid designs embroidered on the chest. I put it on over my white camisole and the the back strings.

Its a perfect match. Then i remember the necklace that belonged to my father. it had black beads with a small sun at the center. I put it on me and it makes my out fit stand out. Just perfect.

I grab my basket full of flowers and leave for the town square.

Klaus---

I sit at the fountain waiting for her, i think about what Elijah said, could it be true.

I look up and she walks towards me with fire burning around her. She wears red today which  brings out the passion in her eyes.

"Good morning" she says sweetly with a smile.

"Goodmorning." I say, awe struck bye her. I get up and reach in my pocket.

"Here you left this behind." I grab her ring and place it on her finger. Her face lights up.

"You found it!" She looks at it then hugs me. I hold her not caring if others seeing us.

"would you like something to eat?"

"yes"

She takes me to the local market.
Theres fruits and flowers jewlry and other things displayed on rugs.

Alexandra was talking to this old woman about her babies and then baught some fruit from her.

She gave me a mango on a stick and i just looked at it.

"haven't you had mango before?"

"yes but not on a stick it's usually cut into pieces."

"Take a bite, this way you get more juice out of the fruit see." She takes a big bite out of her mango and the juice start flowing down her chin. She licks it then wipes it with her wrist.

"Oh sorry, i guess that was very ill mannered," she blushes feeling embarrassed.

I take a bigger bite out of my mango and the juices run down my chin and half to my neck. I lick my lips and wipe with my sleeve. "Mmm your right it does have more flavor."

She laughs, she has a sweet laugh.

We walk around the market and then head down to the town square. We head to the park and sit down at the gazeebo.

"So tell me about your family " i say. At that moment her smile is gone and she stares at her ring.

" Well my parents passed away when i was a girl ," she starts and her voice breaks a little.

"Im sorry you don't have to talk about it." I hold her hand.

"it's ok " she looks at i could tell her eyes where ready to cry.

" They where very good people, my dad was a fisherman he taught us everything we know about the sea. He taught my brother and i how to fish and hunt. He even taught us how to fight."

"i can see that" i say and that Sparks a little smile.

"And my mom, she was a house keeper at one of the beach houses on the hill. She taught me well you know, how to cook and all that her food always braught people together."

She stopped for a moment, remembering her parents, then she looked at the ground.

"One day when my dad and brother where gone fishing me and her where at the river washing clothes. Two men came towards us. They beat her up and raped her. I was only five then i couldn't do anything. I just sat by her crying while she bled out her wounds. A gypsy friend of ours saw us and took us home. When word got out about what happened my father went out looking for them. He found them. He killed one when the other escaped. He came home to see my mom. Her wounds where taken care of she was stable. And then the authorities came. They beat up my dad and took him away to the prison for killing the man even though they raped my mom but they didn't care. They only cared about the nobles. That night when we where sleeping. The hut caught on fire. The other man who escaped set it on fire. Everything burned so fast the roof was caving in the walls where nothing but fire. My mom woke us up to get out. She could barely walk but she pushed us out before the roof collapsed. She was trapped inside. Our neighbors tried to put the fire out but it was too late. We burried her on top of Marias hill over looking the ocean. My father died two months later in the jails. We buried him with my mom."

A tear fell down her cheek. I wipe it off.

"Did they ever catch the man who did this "

"no even though he lived here a month after the fire, the authorities never did anything. They only respond to the nobles. They don't care about their own people."

I hug her abd she gasps a bit.

"You don't have to hurt anymore love im here now " and i meant that.
She looks up smiles and wipes her tears off her cheeks.
