Klaus---

Where did she go now, I swear she is a child.  I sniffed the air for her and immediately picked up her scent. She went somewhere in the woods.

I walked in calling out for her. That is when I see her fall from a tree couple of feet in front.

Speeding to the tree to catch her I run, but when I got there she was fine.

She was on her feet without a single scratch on her.

She is looking up at the tree with a questioning look. I step towards her and she raises her hand to stop.

She looks at the ground and breathes out slowly.

"Are you hurt." I ask her.

She shakes her head no.

She lowers her hand and then looks at me. She looks bewildered and confused.

"I thought I remembered something but I guess not."

I stand in front of her now. "What is it?" I ask her.

" Something about Ramon... I can't remember anymore..... why can't I remember him!" She is frustrated, putting her hand on her temples she focuses and shuts her eyes.

" remember something, please." she frowns tightly and soon enough her face turns slightly red and a little vein is seen on her forhead.

I can hear her blood picking up a little speed through her.

I notice she hasn't let go of her breath yet and the red shade on her skin is darkening.

"Alexandra stop, don't hurt yourself." I reach for her arm so she can come back, but she moves away.

"I need to remember, I need to know what happened to me before." She lets go of her breath for a moment, then refoucuses on holding it and tries to conjure a memory.

"If you can't remember, then it's probably for the best. The body blocks memories if its based on trauma." I am in front of her again and lower her arms.

"I have seen some things. I've witnessed my mother's rape, how those men attacked us. I saw my mother screaming in pain as she was burned alive. I saw her die. I lost my father to the jails, where they tortured him. My brother and Ramon are gone and I don't know how."

"Your brother had a heart problem ale-"

"Oh bullshit, my brother has gotten through knife and bullet wounds. He survived a storm out at sea twice. He's been in more fights than any drunk has been in his life. He was immortal! He didn't die because of his heart. I just can't remember!!! AGHHH" She kicked the dirt which sent a bunch of fallen leaves into the air. "I just cant remember." she sighed.

Her lips quivered and her Brown eyes became glassy. She hid her face behind her hands like a little girl would and began to sob.

She's just a girl...

I came closer to her, I didn't know what to say, her tears ran down her arms dripping from her elbows.

"I-" She hugged me before I could say anything. She was crying heavily now that her tears seeped to my shirt and wetted it. I held her then, I pressed her on my chest and I held her tightly.

I did this to her, I walked away when she most needed me and I blocked her. I caused her pain....

Just as I thought this a feeling came over me. I felt guilt and sorry for her.

She was just a simple girl when we met. Strong independent woman who would have any man bowing to her will if she wanted, but still just a girl.

She has the soul of a girl, and I felt sorry for her.

"I'll help you Alexandra" I heard myself saying.

"What?" she lifted her gaze to me, her face is puffy pink so is her eyes, two little tears ran down to my chest where now is a big blotch of wetness.

"I'll help you get your memory back, step by step ill help you. You don't deserve this torment." She looked at me, her face now like a baby fawn. Hopeful. She hugged me again tightly and I let her.

" Thank you " she whispered.

Salma--

"Are you insane!!!? What if it's too much for her to handle. Remember what happened last time you told her, she was close to a mental break down if you hadn't compelled her." I return to the mikaelson after hours of going around town hunting down Regina and now Nikklaus decides he wants to confess everything to Alexandra.

" She doesn't have to know everything. I just want her to know what's out there. What she is being targeted by so she can be prepared and protect herself." Nikklaus said.

"WE are protecting her!" I exclaim.

"We are hiding her, we are keeping her from the real world. She has been kept from it since she was a child and it is coming for her now. If it's not Ramon it's Regina and who knows what else in the future! She said so herself she is tired from running and hiding and being looked after, when she is the one who needs to face things herself. She needs to know."

" and I suppose I have to tell her all of this!"

"No, we will all tell her." Elijah comes in to the living room.

" We will do this together." Elijah puts his hand on Nikklaus's shoulder.

I look at them. They're the reason why this is happening. Their race doomed Alexandra. Curse the witch who created them.

"I- I need to think about it." I stand up from the chair.

" Salma, she needs to know sooner or later." Nikklaus stands up as well.

"Ill think about it." I said with a harsh tone. I walked away from them without another word. Slowly walking up the stairs to Nikklauses room, now alexandras room.

I peek in it. I see her laid on the bed with the covers to her chest. Her back is bare.

"Ugh Alexandra, sleeping naked again." Well I couldn't blame her, it's a hot night.

I sit next to her.

" I don't know what to do Sirena..." I sigh and rest my head on the head board, closing my eyes.

"How can I tell you the truth. you might not accept it, you might not accept me." If she's to know what's really out there then she needs to know who I am too, what I can do.

I look at her, she still sleeps, without a care she just rests.

"I promised your brother if anything happened.. I would take care of you." I smiled. " How horrible that turned out to be huh."

She breathes deeply.

" I am still here though, still trying." I sigh.

I reach for her blanket and tuck it in behind her back and chest, just incase any one walks in unexpectedly and finds her nude.

"You'll know tomorrow Alexandra, whether you accept me or not ill still be here with you." I rub her forhead and kiss her on her temple.

"Goodnight sweetie." I say and walk out of her room.

Closing the door gently I see Nikklaus.and Elijah walking up the stairs. They stop when they see me.

"She'll know tomorrow." I say. Nikklaus smiles and starts to speak but I cut him off.

"She'll know some of it." I say and walk away from them.
