Alexandra---

We spent most of the day walking around town. buying food, walking in the park. Now and then i would sell some flowers.

"would you like some flowers for your lady sir" I asked a man with a tall hat.

"BAH! get out of the way you stupid dirt blood" he pushes me. Klaus catches me before i hit the floor.

He runs to the man and grabs him by his shirt. " IF you value your life you will apologize to the young lady and you will buy half of the flowers in her basket." Klaus gritted his teeth and looked the man with the tall hat in the eye. Klaus's eyes looked abnormal, like a beasts eyes when it is about to pounce on its prey.

The man came back to me, baught more than half my flowers, gave me a whole bag of money and apologized to me.

"Get on your knees and apologize" klaus ordered and the man did so, after that he left.

"the kneeling was unecessary but thank you klaus for defending me."

"of course love, tell me what is a dirt blood?" he asks, really? for someone of his status im surprised he doesnt know.

"well when the europeans first came to mexico. My ancestors thought they where gods. The europeans went along with this and above all called themselves pure bloods, and us the dirt bloods. The europeans turned our ancestors to slaves until we revolted and well obviously we didnt win because we wouldnt be treated like animals now." I explained. " But i dont mind i take pride in being a dirt blood."

"You take pride in everything you are, i like that about you." he looks deeply in me, i blush.

It is now sunset and some of the people have cleared out.

"would you like me to take you home" klaus asks as we walk down the street back to the fountain.

"not yet i say" I see my best friend since childhood. Salma, she is a gipsy her people and mine are very close. i always considered her as a sister. She develops a big smile when she sees me.

"sirena! i hath not seen you in days." she runs to me and hugs me.

" Salma this is Klaus Mikaelson, Klaus this is salma my best friend."

he takes up her hand and kisses.

"pleasure to meet you salma."

Salma takes his hand in mine.

"come dance with us" she takes us to her group that are by the fountain. there i see Calib, Salmas mate and the other youths from the gypsi camp. they have braught their instruments.

" We just finished a big performance ten minutes ago we where about to leave but i want us to dance before we do, could you join us sirena?"

i look at klaus beggingly. the music starts playing and salma and calib and the others start dancing.

"I dont know how to dance this?" he says shamely.

" its easy" i say and turn my back to him.

"all the man has to do is put his hands on the girls hips and follow her motions." i put his hands on my hips and he holds on to them tight. I swing my hip side to side and lift my hands to the air and wave them like casting a spell.

klaus's body presses more to mine as my hips move and his head rests on my shoulder.

The beat of the song turns slow. I turn around towards him and grab his right hand and place it on my left and lift it.

"now we go in a circle while you lift your other hand up and then shift to the other." We touch hands while going  around. The beat pics up again.

Salma takes me and dances with me swaying our hips side to side and then twirls me back to klaus.

When our bodies collided the music stopped.

"You dance amazingly" He said with his eyes widened.

"Thank you i learned from her." I pointed to Salma as she was leaving.

"Goodnight sirena!" She waves and then she's gone.

Klaus---

"Why does she call you sirena?" I ask Alexandra while we walk on the beach to her home.

"oh it's a long story,"

"we have a long walk."

"Haha well ok. When i was a kid i always played at Maria's hill, one day i see Salma swim in to the far ocean. She was having trouble because of the big waves. Every time she tried to come to the surface she got knocked down. Me being the brainless girl that i am, dived from the hill to help her. She was drowning when i got to her i pulled her up and swam us to shore. When she came to she said that the way i looked and swam, she thought i was a sirena (mermaid) we have been friends ever since then."

"So you are some kind of hero then"

"No i just did what anyone should of done.".she was modest, in my eyes she was special.

We stayed quiet for a moment as we walked in the sand barefoot. I looked at the waves and how they rolled ferociously to the shore.

"Catch me if you can!" Alexandra shived me and ran quickly kicking up sand with her feet.

I went after her. She turned around to see if i was chasing her but she stopped when she didn't see me.

"Klaus?" She whispered she had a worried look on her face. I was behind her, i put my arms under her and lift her up and twirled her around. She laughed like an uncontrollable child, i did too. I haven't laughed like this with her before. I dropped us down to the sand with a big thump.

"How did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"You weren't there when i looked back and then you where, how?"

"I have my gifts, just like you do too miss 'sirena'".

She gives a big laugh and slaps me gently on my shoulder.

We lay on the sand looking up at the stars.

"The night is beautiful isnt it." I say. She nods and closes her eyes.

We lay for an hour when i hear her mumble. I turn over to her, her eyes are closed i guess she is sleeping. I inch closer to her face. She looks so peaceful. I think she senses me watching her because she stirs and then opens her eyes and looks at me.

And in those big brown eyes the heavens are reflected. The stars sparkle in them. She is so beautiful. And then i look at her lips, a light shade of pink and slightly plump. How i wish for them.
