Blessings and Wedding

Chapter 15: Blessings and Wedding

Hey Everyone! I know the idea of hunters thinking about burning the originals was dense. Lol! I don't know what I was thinking. I tried to fix it in this chapter and hopefully it will make more sense. Also, the last chapter was kind of fast in terms of events. It's just that I needed certain events over and done with but now we return to our regular pace. Anyways, please continue to give me your tips! :) Here is my next chapter!

Present times

Klaus and Rebekah walked through the forest keeping an eye out for any kind of movement. All their treasured items that they had kept for centuries had already been moved out; the mansion was only a building which had now burned to the ground.

"Those hunters were thick to think that they could kill us by burning us in the house." Rebekah said. Klaus laughed.

"I guess they didn't do all their homework. However, they knew we can only be killed by a white oak stake and the fact that killing us would kill our whole line of vampires, but that's about it. I assume they weren't part of The Five."

They remained quiet for a while as they continued to walk through the forest.

"It's so strange. I mean look at how everything's changed. Before, everything revolved around Elena. But now that Stefan and Caroline are gone, the circumstances have changed in such a way no one could have ever imagined." Rebekah said. Klaus remained quiet. He still wasn't able to get over the fact that Caroline was no longer around. Her light will never be there to brighten his dark world. "Nik at least say something." Rebekah said.

"Say what?" Klaus said. He wasn't the type to talk about his feelings and Rebekah knew that all too well.

"I know how you felt about her." Rebekah said. He knew that she wanted him to say something but he couldn't. He had been like this since he was human.

"Leave it Bekah." Klaus said. He couldn't talk about it, just couldn't. Now there was only darkness in his world.

Back to the Past

Everyone was seated around the fire pit. All the brothers knew why Stefan was there waiting for Mikael. Ester sat beside Finn doing embroidery on a cloth. She looked around at everyone, but no one said a word. The atmosphere was tense; there was no telling what was going to happen. Caroline and Rebekah sat together hand in hand.

"Rebekah, calm down and breathe. Everything will work out." Caroline whispered. Rebekah let out a long held breath and bit on her lip. She looked like she would start to hyperventilate soon.

Mikael came home and looked at everyone quietly sitting around the fire pit. He went into the house to wash up for dinner. Caroline could tell Rebekah was starting to panic even more. Her hands became clammy and she was becoming pale. Caroline nudged her and gestured towards Stefan who signaled her to calm down; Rebekah nodded and took another deep breath. Mikael came and sat down with his family. Stefan got up, walked towards Mikael and sat down beside him.

"Stefan, did not know you were joining us for dinner tonight." Mikael said.

"Mikael. I came here to talk to you about something. Actually, to ask you something." Stefan said slowly.

There was complete silence. It was as if everything froze. Caroline could sense the fear and anxiety in the atmosphere. She looked towards Nik, but his eyes were fixed on Mikael and Stefan.

"Go ahead." Mikael said as he looked at Stefan. Stefan swallowed and then took a deep breath.

"I would like to ask you for your daughter, Rebekah's hand in marriage. I promise to love her and take care of her for the rest of our lives. I ask for your blessings to marry her." Stefan said confidently intently looking at Mikael.
