All I Need

It's Wednesday My Dudes

Lydia woke up and walked out of the room to see Nik walking up the stairs with two coffees. Lydia smiled lightly.
Lydia drank her coffee before showering and getting dressed. She walked down the stairs to see Nik sitting reading a magazine. She giggled as she ran and jumped onto his lap, making him grunt. He looked up at her with a raised eyebrow. "Really?" He asked. "Well yeah! I have to have some fun," Lydia chuckled. Nik chuckled.
"What would you like to do today, love?" Nik asked.
"Go pick up Rebekah and Elijah and then go climb a mountain," Lydia replied.
"You, and your little legs, want to climb a mountain?" Niklaus asked.
"Yes, I do. Plus I have you, who won't let anything bad happen to me," Lydia replied.
Nik sighed and smiled with a small chuckle.
"Okay, okay. We'll go up a mountain," Nik agreed.
"Yay!!" Lydia smiled before kissing him quickly.
The two went to the hotel to get Rebekah and Elijah. Lydia walked into the room slowly with Nik.
Rebekah looked up from the magazine she was reading and smiled at the sight of them.
"Hi!" Rebekah squealed.
Lydia chuckled and waved.
"I hear we're climbing mountains today," Elijah said, stepping out of the bathroom, not wearing a suit.
"Holy shit you're not wearing a suit," Lydia chuckled lightly.
"Oh my god, that's something I haven't seen in a long time," Rebekah laughed.
Nik chuckled as Elijah glared at the both of them.
"Well, if we're going, we should probably go now," Rebekah said, getting up and smiling at Lydia.
Lydia nodded in agreement.

Lydia looked over the edge of the mountain.
"Do you think I'd die if I rolled off this mountain?" Lydia asked.
Nik quickly grabbed Lydia's hand and led her away from the edge.
"What? It's not like I would!" Lydia chuckled.
"I'm not taking that chance, love." Nik said.
Lydia smiled and rolled her eyes.

"Wow," Lydia said, looking over the edge again.
Nik smiled at Lydia as she looked over the side in awe.
"Come on, love," Nik said, "we still have a long way to the top,"

The group continued to hike up and up until they reached the top. Lydia bent over panting.
"Oh my god," she groaned, "this is my life now! I've climbed this mountain and now I shall die upon it!"
"You're not dying," Nik said, walking over to Lydia and standing her up.
"I need a horse," Lydia sighed.
"I told you climbing the mountain probably wasn't the best idea, I could have drove us up," Nik chuckled.
"I had a mini panic attack with you driving here because all the traffic. Seeing over the side in a damn car would have literally killed me!" Lydia replied.
Nik rolled his eyes and chuckled.
"Get on my back," he said softly.
"What?" Lydia asked.
"You heard me," Nik replied.
Lydia crawled onto Nik's back and they began walking in the direction that Elijah and Rebekah went.
Rebekah looked behind her to see Lydia on Nik's back, kissing his cheek. "I love you," Lydia said softly. "I love you, too,"Nik whispered back.
Rebekah smiled to herself at that. When Nik and Lydia caught up to Elijah and Rebekah, they walked around the small, crowded shop.
A small wolf toy caught Lydia's eye. Her hand left Nik's and his eyes followed her to the toy. She picked it up, looked it over, and began to walk back to Nik with it.
"You're getting a stuffed animal?" Nik asked, chuckling.
"Yeah... and this travel coffee cup!" Lydia said, picking up a bright pink travel cup.
"Okay, okay, lets check out and wait for the others," Nik said.
Lydia smiled up at him.
The two began walking around, looking for the others when Nik saw Rebekah and Elijah talking to Elizabeth Marin.
"Lydia, what do you know about Elizabeth Marin?" Nik asked softly.
"She was in love with a man and he broke her heart," Lydia replied, " she created the curse I was born to break and she may or may not want to brutally murder me."
"Lovely," Nik replied.
Nik saw Elizabeth turn on her heel and stare at him and Lydia, her arms crossed at her chest.
"Oh my god, I'm going to die. I don't have my swords." Lydia said, beginning to panic.
"Shhh, you'll be fine. I'm not going to let anything happen to you, remember?" Nik said
"Promise?"
"Promise."
The two walked up to Elizabeth.
"Ah, if it isn't the curse breaker..." Elizabeth said, looking down at Lydia.
Lydia just stood there, holding onto Nik's hand and arm tightly.
"Well, I see you found the same family I did and I see you're with Niklaus... weird choice, but as long as it's not the one I went for, I don't care," Elizabeth said.
Lydia looked at her confused.
"I want this curse broken just as bad as you," Elizabeth said, "Elijah is the reason it started."
Lydia's jaw dropped.
"It seems Klaus will be the reason it ends," Elizabeth finished.
Lydia pressed herself closer to Nik.
"Well," Lydia said, "it was um... nice to meet you."
"It was nice to meet you as well. I can see this becoming a friendship when this curse comes to an end," Elizabeth said with a smile before vanishing.
Lydia looked up at Nik.
"That was fucking weird," Lydia whispered.
"Agreed..." Nik replied.
"Should we start the journey down?" Rebekah asked.
The other three nodded in agreement, Lydia sticking close to Nik.
