His (A Niklaus Mikaelson Fanfic)

Chapter 31- A Problem

I laughed as I waited for Alice to open the door again. I was content with my life with her. Unlike most women who needed material things Alice only seemed to need me. Wherever she was as long as she was with me she was happy. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard her scream. My instincts kicked in and I broke the door down. I looked over at the door to see Alice laying there unconscious. I lifted her up and took her to the bed before sniffing the air. Jackson? Yes that was him. A warlock I had help me once. What had he done to my mate?

I rushed over to Alice after closing the door. I checked her temperature and pulse. She didn’t have a pulse. “Alice…” My voice sounded small in the open space of the room. I took Alice’s hand and squeezed it twice, something we did in affection to each other when we were upset about something. She didn’t squeeze back. For the first time in decades tears formed in my eyes. Suddenly she gasped sitting up swiftly her eyes looked wild and fearful. “Alice! Love are you alright?” I asked bringing my hand up to cup her cheek. She nodded resting her forehead against mine. She squeezed my hand twice causing the edge of my lips to turn upwards.

  "What did he do to you love?" I asked scanning her body which showed no form of blood or bruise. "I don't know. All I know is I've never felt so much pain before in my life." She said swinging her legs over the side of the bed and walking over to the book shelf she had set up in her room. She closed her eyes and started to chant quietly and a few books flew off the shelf landing on the floor. She picked up the one that was open. She slowly read her eyes scanning the page. 

There was another knock at the door. "That's probably Elijah and Rebekah." I said walking over to the door and opening it to reveal my baby sister and older brother. "Nik what's wrong?" Rebekah asked as I invited them in. "Alice was attacked by a warlock today. She's searching for the spell to see what it did to her. She feels fine but she knows something is wrong." I said concern in my voice. "Let me check on her. Why don't you two catch up...or something." Rebekah said leaving the room. 

Elijah exhaled deeply. "Well at least we had some sort of a break. You look good brother...happier." I smiled. "I am." I could hear Alice's cries of happiness as she geeted Rebekah. Alice spotted us and broke into a smile. 

She rushed over and hugged Elijah tightly. "We'll get settled then have a chat as a family." Rebekah said grabbing her bags and making her way to her room followed closely behind by Elijah. "I should change." Alice murmured making her way to our room. I walked in after her and watched as she changed. She wore short denim shorts, a white tank top and a back sleeveless hoodie. I pulled Alice to me then sat on the bed so her head rested against my chest.

"Do you know what he did to you love?" She shook her head. She started to get up but I tightened my grip around her. "Not so fast love. You know something." I growled in her ear earning a harsh hit to the ribs. "Tyler is the guy who sent the warlock after me." Alice said tiredly. "You need rest love?" I asked leaning to the side so I could see her face. Her grey eyes looked dull and her posture was slumped. "No I was just hoping we could actually settle down and live a life in peace." She said disappointed. I nuzzled my mate trying to console her. Alice kissed my nose and sat on my lap her head on my chest directly over my heart.

"Let's go outside before Rebekah and Elijah started knocking the door down." Alice said standing up. I followed her outside to see Rebekah and Elijah sitting in the living room. "So where did you both go?" Alice asked starting the conversation as she sat down beside Rebekah.

We talked for hours about our honey moon and where my siblings went until Alice grew tired. "I think it's time you rest love." I said lifting up my girlfriend who was half asleep on the couch. "Goodnight to you both." I said before walking into my room and closing the door. Alice was asleep in my arms snuggling into my chest. I smiled as I lay her down in bed before removing my shirt and shoes before slipping beneath the covers with Alice. She turned in bed so she faced me. She ran her fingers over my tatoo on my right shoulder. The tatoo was a feather on my bicep which turned into birds flying straight to my heart.

"What's wrong Nik?" Alice whispered. She was exhausted but she still worried about me. "Tyler is a hybrid I made a while ago. He hates me and will do anything to kill me even if it means harming you." I said stroking her hair. "I can take care of myself Klaus you know that." She whispered kissing my cheek. "I know love." I pulled her into me an inhaled her scent. "But I still worry about you as you worry about me." She smiled against my skin. "Well Niklaus then I think it's time we start trusting each other to take care of ourselves." She said closing her eyes. I ran my fingers through her hair as she hummed a soothing tune lulling us both to sleep as wefell asleep in each other's arms.

I woke up a few hours later to find Alice thrashing violently. She was crying and sobbing while mumbing words which I was unable to understand or hear. I tried to rubb her back to soothe her but she shoved me away agressively. "Alice! Love! Wake up!" I said gently shaking her forcing myself to pin one of her arms down to stop her from hitting me. Her eyes fluttered open fear evident in her grey orbs. She was still shaking from the dream and sweat caused her hair to stick to her forehead and her clothing to cling to her body. "What happened love what's wrong?" I asked pulling her into my chest in attempt to calm her down. When she stopped shaking and her breathing became regular I released Alice again.

"He's coming. Tyler. He's coming and he's not coming for either of us..." She said her voice made her sound petrified. "Who is he coming for?" I asked puzzled. She reached for something on her dresser. When she turned back to me I could see it was a knife. She pricked her finger with the edge of the blade. After a few moments she still hadn't healed. "I don't understand." I said unsure of what was happening. She's a vampire, why wasn't she healing? "Klaus....if I'm not healing then I'm human...which means...oh my gosh..." Tears formed in Alice's eyes.

"He's coming for the baby." She said resting her hand on her stomach. I looked Alice in the eyes and I knew she was right. Somehow Tyler had given Jackson enough power to reverse Alice's transition into a vampire which meant she could concieve. We were going to have a baby. This was a serious problem.
