DAWN (The Originals Fanfiction)

Surprise Surprise!

I woke up alone on my bed wrapped in sheets. How did I get onto my bed? I clutched the sheets realizing that I didn't have any clothes on. Oh no, what did I do? I got out to find something to wear. My head was pounding like crazy and I needed some water.

I threw on my usual long sweater with jeans and ran out of the room to get some water. Once I reached the dining room, I could hear Hope and Ink shouting like crazy.

"OH MY GOD ARE YOU EVEN HEARING YOURSELF RIGHT NOW?" Hope screamed.

"I'M ALWAYS RIGHT!" Ink yelled back. They were arguing about something very seriously and I had to shout at them to stop shouting.

"GUYS STOP!" I shouted and winced, touching my forehead. They stopped and looked at me with concern but I shook my head at them slightly.

"Don't worry, it's just a hangover," I mumbled and Ink burst out laughing. I glared at him and he shut up immediately.

"What did you do last night?" Hope sang with a smirk on her face. I know she was implying something about Noah and my eyes welled up a little.

"Um... you guys missed a lot," I whispered and they both had a worried look on their face.

"Um... actually we spoke to Noah and he told us everything that happened," Hope said slowly and I just stayed silent.

"Yeah... he really wants to talk to you and explain what happened," Ink said and I shook my head.

"No I can't see him now. Not right now," I replied.

"Last night..." Hope trailed off and I smiled a little.

"I went out to Rousseaus. And don't worry I wasn't alone," I explained before Hope could say anything.

"Who'd you go with?" Ink asked smirking and I rolled my eyes. As I was about to answer, he walked in to the dining room.

"Good morning," he mumbled to me and then I remembered a little about what happened last night. Oh my goodness.

"Um, hi!" I said nervously wrapping my hands around my body. Kol smirked slightly and looked to Hope.

"Hope dear, may I please have a word with you?" he asked and she hesitated before nodding and they both left.

"You went out with Kol?" Ink smirked and I covered my face with my hands, groaning.

"Yeah..." I said quietly and Ink's smirk grew into a wide grin.

"Damn Ariel! You know you should take a shower if you want to stop smelling like Kol Mikaelson!" Ink exclaimed, laughing hard. I swatted his arm and he pouted.

"Please can we not talk about it! How was your special romantic getaway with Hope?" I said, finally getting my chance to smirk at Ink. He tensed a little but he smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

"It was awesome. Like totally life-changing!" Ink said and I raised my eyebrow. "Not in that way, we didn't do any of that."

I giggled softly and Ink's face softened, "I'm sorry about Noah, but you should really hear him out."

"I will, just not now," I answered and sighed. "Do you think it's wrong? What I did?"

Ink stays quiet for a moment, as if he is trying to to pick his words carefully.

"You and Noah have always been that 'golden couple' and I doubt Noah would've intentionally cheated on you. But if y'all are not together anymore then I don't suppose sleeping with Kol is wrong," he explained and I slowly took in his words.

"But that's the thing. I don't know if we are together still... I mean I love Noah so much..." I trailed off and Ink frowned at me.

"If you love him so much, why don't you give him a chance to explain?" Ink questioned.

"I don't know," I mumbled and Ink came up to me, giving me a small hug.

"Just talk to him okay? It'll be worth it... for both of y'all," he reassured.

I was pacing back and forth at the spot Noah had told me to meet him. He made me come out to the Bayou which I was a little edgy about. Hope cast a protection spell on me just in case and I reluctantly went. I followed the little trail Noah had left for me and ended up in a little clearing surrounded in flowers.

"You came," Noah said and I felt my heart beating faster. I was so nervous. I tore my eyes away from the beautiful flowers and up into Noah's eyes.

"Yeah, I did," was all I managed to say and he stood there taking my presence in.

"I missed you," he said softly. I turned my head away from his gaze and bit my lip to stop any tears from forming. I couldn't look at him.

"Noah... I came here to hear your side of the story. Please don't make this harder for me," I mumbled and he sighed.

"Alright," he said and sat down leaning against the tree. I stepped towards the lilac flowers and plopped myself next to them.

"I didn't sleep with Davina," he said bluntly causing me to look up at him.

"Then what?..." I was about to ask but he stopped me by raising his hand.

"I can't remember what happened. One minute I was talking to her at the bar and the next I was dancing with Hope. It's like a few minutes of my life just vanished," he said truthfully. "I found a spell to help trigger the memory but it had no Davina in it whatsoever."

"I thought I was kissing you, touching you. But I wasn't," he confessed and stared into my eyes.

We remained in silence just gazing at each other while the wind blew quietly around us.

"I have something to confess," I blurted and he frowned at me confusedly. "I slept with Kol."

As soon as those words left my mouth, I immediately regretted it. Noah's face dropped and I could feel his mood change from pure happiness to utter devastation.

"W-what?" he stuttered and I looked away, trying to stop the tears from falling.

"I was drunk and upset. I wasn't thinking," I explained looking down at my hands. "It didn't mean anything."

"I think we need to take some time apart," he said randomly and I looked up.

"Yeah I think so too," I agreed and his eyes welled up a little too. "I just hope you know that I love you Noah. I will always."

He nodded giving me a small smile. "I will love you forever," he said and then he vanishes leaving me alone in the woods surrounded by the tiny flowers.

I called Hope and she picked me up, gushing about her time spent with Ink. I listened to most of it but my mind couldn't stop thinking about Noah. I didn't want to push him away but I understand. God, I was such an idiot. I got a weird feeling in my stomach as we approached the compound and I started feeling sick.

"Hope, I gotta go to the bathroom," I warned and her eyes widened. We rushed to the bathroom and as soon as we entered I threw up into the toilet. Hope brushed my hair out of my face and rubbed my back.

"What was that?" I groaned when I stopped. I was scared that I was going to black out again or go through some terrible pain. "I thought you cast a protection spell on me?"

Hope stayed silent for a few minutes. "I did," she replied quietly. I gave her a questioning look.

"The protection spell protects you from any supernatural or inflicted harm. This... this was all natural..."

It didn't quite hit me at first until Hope went out and came back with a little, rectangular box and a sympathetic expression.
