Advice, Secrets, and Soulmates

MIKAELSON COMPOUND

Nicole ran out of her room and into her father's study. Klaus was painting. "Dad! Is Uncle Elijah back yet?" Klaus looked up at her from his painting. "No love. Why what's wrong?" He saw immediately something happened. "I Just need to talk to him about something." Nicole said panting. "Talk to me. I am your father after all." He put down his pallet and paint brush. Nicole gave in and shut the door for privacy. Klaus watched her as he sat on a couch. "You know Hayley is the only one who wont hear this." Klaus said smirking. "Then that means Jeremy wont either." Klaus now understood what she wanted to talk about. "So you've come to talk about yours and Jeremy's recent relationship status?" Nicole's eyes widened at her father. "How did you.." Klaus pointed to his ear. "Original vampire remember?" He said smirking. Nicole took a deep breath in and sat on the couch across from him. "What do I do?" Nicole asked. "I have never felt anything like this when it comes to Jeremy." Klaus observed her. He was trying to see if now was the time to tell her about Jeremy being her mate. "What did you feel?" He asked leaning his elbows on his knees with his hands together. Nicole was thinking. She began to shake her head. "I don't even know how to describe what I felt... Fireworks, electric waves, my skin felt like it was on fire when he touched me, like I wasn't in my body. Like everything he felt... I felt." Nicole said out of breath.

Klaus looked at the floor trying to figure out how to approach this. Nicole stood up and began pacing. "He loves me Dad." Klaus looked up at her when she said that. "He didn't even have to tell me. I felt it. I felt everything he was hiding." Klaus remained silent. "I felt his longing, his care, his lust, his want... his love." Nicole ran her hands through her hair. She was panicking. She reached for the bands on her wrist and started snapping them. "Why are you doing that?" Klaus asked through gritted teeth. Nicole looked down. "It helps." Nicole said. Klaus didn't understand. "Helps with what?" He looked at her concerned. "My anxiety... It also helps me not to self harm." Nicole said looking guiltily. Klaus stood up and approached her while looking at her with wide eyes. "Why didn't you tell me about this?" He asked. "I didn't think I would need to. Last time I cut was a month after my adoptive dad; Mayor Lockwood died." Nicole had tears in her eyes. Klaus walked over and wrapped her in a hug. "I wish you had told me." He said. He kissed her head and just held her. "You have enough to worry about. You didn't need this too." Nicole said. Klaus pulled away. "You are my child. I will always worry about you." He moved a stray hair behind her ear. "Dad I am so scared... I don't wanna hurt Jeremy by loving him; by not loving him. I don't know what to do." Nicole finally let the tears fall. Klaus realized he had to tell her the truth. "I know why you felt everything you felt when he kissed you." Klaus said looking in his daughter's eyes. "What do you mean?" Nicole asked.

Klaus pulled her back to the couches and sat her down. "When your grandmother Ester created the spell for immortality she created a additional spell for us. A mate for each of us. Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah and myself." Nicole tilted her head trying to understand what he was getting at. "Finn was the only one who successfully found his mate before his end." Nicole still didn't understand. "The day I met you and I realized you were my daughter I began to wonder." Nicole searched his features as he spoke. "I wondered if Esther's spell got passed down to the children. Then I saw the way Jeremy looked at you and my question was answered." Nicole's mouth fell open in confusion. "What are you saying Dad?" Klaus took a deep breath in and exhaled. "Jeremy Gilbert is your mate." Nicole's eyes went wide and her mouth fell open again. "How? How do you know this?" Klaus looked down. "The days I was never around and you thought I was avoiding you..." Nicole nodded urging him to continue. "I was trying to find a witch who could tell me if I was right." Nicole was in shock. "And?!" She was anxious now. She needed to know. "And I found three witches who all confirmed my suspicions." Nicole got up and began pacing again. "Jeremy Gilbert is your soulmate." Klaus said watching his daughter's every move. Nicole stopped pacing and slowly turned her head to her father. "My 'soulmate'?" Nicole asked skeptically. Klaus nodded. "I know it's a lot to take in but you needed to know the truth about what you and Jeremy are both feeling." Nicole just stared at Klaus. "Is what I'm feeling a spell?" Nicole asked with tears in her eyes. "No. What you're feeling is real. The mate bond is just making it stronger. The bond will be complete once you and Jeremy..." Nicole furrowed her brows and waited for Klaus to finish. "Give in to the lust you're both feeling." Nicole just gaped at her father.
