The Salvatore Sister

Decisions

I awoke in my bed feeling almost as good as new. I decided against dying last night because I realized that my family needed me. My brothers and the Originals were my family, and they mattered to me above everything else. The first person I wanted to see was Damon. I felt horrible for not telling him anything, and I knew he would be mad at me after I told him I wanted to die.

When I finally convinced myself to get out of bed and face the day, I pulled the covers off of me and tried to stand up on my own. I could feel that I was weak, but what I did not expect was that I could not stand by myself. I stumbled to the floor, but two strong arms caught me. Damon. I was relieved that it was him who caught me, I did not want the others to see me this weak. I smiled at my eldest brother, he stayed here for me. Damon pulled me into a hug that I gladly returned, I was happy I did not die.

"You scared us, even the Originals were worried. Don't do that to me again, got it?" He said. "Got it. I'm sorry I did not tell you about everything in my diary, but Damon, you were off at war for most of it. When you came back, everything changed. Neither you, nor Stefan would spend time with me, and all you two cared about was Miss Katherine. I didn't think you would care." I told him honestly. He stared at me, holding onto every word I said.

"But it is okay now, but I needed to talk to you, apologize. And, I wanted to talk to you about the whole turning back to a human thing." Damon nodded, I knew he did not understand my hesitancy to be a human, but he tolerated it. "Last night, I had a dream. It was one of those witch dreams, and I saw the future, or what I think is the future. Well, I was on the floor at the house, and you and Stefan were there, and Bonnie was performing a spell. I recognized the spell...it was the spell that transforms me back into a human." I could tell he needed a moment to process this, so I motioned for him to sit on the bed, and he rapidly complied.

"So, what your saying is that the transformation is going to happen." I nodded. "That's great! You're going to be human! You can grow up, go to college, and get married." Damon was smiling at me. I faked a smile at him while he got up and said he would be back later on to check up on me. The truth was that if I turned human, I would eventually be a vampire anyways; I couldn't leave my family.

I walked downstairs and found Niklaus in his art room. I lightly knocked on the door to make my presence known. Nik was sitting in front of a canvas, I love watching him paint. He looked at me, and I could tell he was happy to see me up. "How are you feeling, love?" He asked me. "Physically, I'm great. Emotionally, not so good." I knew he understood, he always did.

I walked closer to him. "I just wanted to come and say thank you for saving my life." I leaned down to him, pressing my lips against his for a few seconds, probably lingering for a bit too long. I pulled away and whispered, "Thank you." I started to walk away thinking about the kiss, it was quick and gentle , but boy was it powerful. I could feel some old feelings coming back to me, but before I could walk completely out of the room Niklaus rushed in front of me.

He took my face in his hands, and kissed me passionately. I hadn't kissed him like this in 90 years. So many words and feelings were expressed in this kiss, I missed you, never leave me, pick me, choose me, and love me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he put his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him. At that moment, I felt that I had made my decision, I need him. It wasn't Kol or Elijah, it was Nik.

We stayed like that for a few more seconds, and then he pulled his face away so that I was staring into his eyes. Niklaus stroked my hair and smiled. I loved his smile, it was charming, seductive, and evil all at the same time. I blushed as he caressed my cheek. We just stood there, gazing at each other, but so many unspoken words being exchanged.
