Torn ( klaus love story)

Be strong

Alexandra---

I awake in what looks to be Salma's bed. I try to sit up slowly when I notice some ones head resting on the edge of the bed.

"Klaus" I shake his shoulder, he looks up. His eyes look puffy and his cheeks have wet streaks going down them.

"What happened? " I ask him. I looked at my self my palms where bandaged and they stung when I tried to move them. I felt immobilized I couldn't move much everything felt like daggers going through my body.

"Do not move love, I don't want you to feel more pain." He sat on the bed and held my hand.

"You don't know how happy I am to see you awake after so long."

"how long has it been?"

"Almost a week"

His grip on my hand got a little tighter and I winced.

"Forgive me I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't mean for any of this to happen. But when I saw you Kiss Ramon.... I lost it. I thought you loved him."

Images of Ramon run through my mind. From what happened at the dance to what happened at home. I saw his pitch black eyes and his fangs and how he tried to kill me but then my......

"Where is Manuel! Where is he!!!!!" I jump out of bed but immediately collapse and hit the floor. I struggle to sit up and Klaus tries to help me.

"Let go of me! I need to find him! I need to see him, he can't be he's not, don't you tell me he is because it isn't true....ITS NOT TRUE!!!!" I start shouting at him and shoved him back. This sharp pain like fire goes up my hands to my arms and I scream in agony.

"Don't touch anything it will make it worse." He says as he bends down to carry me.

"Don't touch me! I want to see him! he isn't dead you hear me he isn't dead he's fishing, he's at the beach fishing He's not dead HE'S NOT!!!"

I cry even more trying to convince myself that what I remember was probably a bad dream. My brother couldn't be dead he's all I have.

"What's happening here?" Salma runs into the tent.

"Salma tell him Manuel isn't dead tell him he is fishing, He's not dead!" I crawl to her feet. She kneels down and looks at me. Her face is saddened she nods.

"He's gone Alexandra he's dead."

"NO YOU'RE LYING! WHY ARE YOU LYING,"

I swing my fist at her trying to get the hurt out. She takes hold of my arms.

"Calm her down Klaus she doesn't have anymore revain in her system."

Klaus comes to me and takes hold of my face.

"I know this is tearing you apart right now but you need to be calm. You're brother was murdered by a vampire, Ramon. He ripped out your brothers heart."

He stops for a moment.

"No" I whisper and shake my head.

"There's no such thing as vampires you lie." I am more calm now somehow, I do not understand how but I still won't believe what they're saying.

"They are real, very real. There are things in this world. Horrible things. Ramon was one of them."

He looks at Salma and then back at me.

"It is my families fault that these vampires exist. We are the original family. The original vampires."

I stare at him and then I burst into laughter .

"This isn't real. You are all playing a joke or you're  lying or you're just plain crazy. There is no such thing."

Klaus sighs. He closes his eyes and I start to see black veins form around them, he opens his eyes and they look as if they where bottomless pits, so dark. He raises his lips and instead of straight teeth there are fangs!

"GET AWAY FROM ME, GET AWAY!!!" I squeal and kick back trying to distance myself but Salma keeps me in place.

"Keep calm." Klaus says and his eyes turn to normal dark brown.

"Alexandra I am so sorry... for everything. I should have protected you better. I should have killed him before he killed your brother. I should have told you I love you when I had the chance and now that you know you will never remember."

His voice gets shaky.

"What is that suppose to mean?" I ask.

He pulls in my face and looks into my eyes deeply. With a strong force he kisses me. The world around me is blank. All my senses are focused on his luscious lips everything else is non existent. He stops and puts his forehead to mine. He opens his eyes.

"You will forget me Alexandra. We never met. You're brother died of a natural death. His funeral was payed for by a charity. It will be hard to get over this loss but you will live on. You will continue your life. You will laugh you will dance you will enjoy life again......you will love again. You will be strong and you will get through this.But before I leave tell me the truth Alexandra did you ever love me?"

"I love you Klaus with every beat of my heart I love you."

He pulls my face for a kiss again. Tears run down I can't tell if they are mine or his. It's from the both of us.

"Now hear me, the moment I walk out of this tent you will forget me, you will forget my family. Every memory that you had with me will be lost and at last you will be in peace."

He gives me one more kiss.

"Look after her Salma, please."

He is about to leave when I try to go after him.

"No don't go I don't want to forg......"

My mind goes blank...........................................

I look around. I'm inside Salmas tent why am I here?

"What am I doing here Salma?" I look at my hands, The palms are bandaged. It stings when I move my hands.

"You live here now remember. You wanted to move in since your brother passed away .."

My brother....... I hug her tightly and she hugs me back even tighter.

"I can't believe he's really gone Salma, he was the only family I had."

I begin to sob.

"I know sirena, for now on we are family, the people in this camp and your people are your family like they have always been. Your not alone, you will be strong, you will get through this."

"I will be strong and I will get through this. I will be strong and I will get through this. I will be strong and I will get through this." I repeat over and over out loud and in my head. Salma rocks me back and forth while she pats my head.

I will be strong and I will get through this.....
