His (A Niklaus Mikaelson Fanfic)

Chapter 35- Missing Her

I stood watching the water on the bridge at the entrance of Mystic Falls. "Bonnie says she should be ready to do the spell in a few days on the night of the full moon." Damon said walking up behind me with his younger brother Stephan. "Good." I said shortly not in the mood to talk. "Why her?" Damon asked suddely after a long silence between the three of us.

"I grew up with her as a boy. She was innocent, sweet, funny, rebellious, devilish, artistic and had this way of making me smile. Three hundred years later so much in her has changed yet she still has that light inside of her. She is still the same beautiful women I fell in love with as a human."  I said chuckling. "She also has the ability to tame me." Stephan smiled at that.

"She has that effect on people." Damon nodded grimly. "She is a very strange person though." Damon laughed. "She has this strange habit of helping those people in the darkest of places." He said smiling as he ran his finger over his daylight ring. It was clear both young men cared quite alot about Alice and it bothered me that they knew more about her past than I did.

"How do you know her Damon?" I asked suddenly. "After the wars when I was spinning into Ripper oblivian killing my way through a small town in Europe she spent one week with me reminding me of what it is to be human. What it felt like to laugh and smile. She was an amazing person, friend and sister to me. I told her everything from when I was a child to the man I had become." I noded looking back at the water then at Stephan.

You see I knew Stephan far better than I knew Damon. We had met in the 1940s when he had turned off his humanity. We had got along well and became good friend however my murderous father followed us so Rebekah and I were forced to flee leaving Stephan behind.

"I met her in around the same time I met you. 1940s. She was walking over to a restaurant we were going to meet at for a drink the night she was attacked." I nodded standing up straight and walking over to the car. "Well if we're going to start bonding I'd rather have a drink wouldn't you boys?" 

We didn't speak until we were well situated at a bar drinking a glass of whiskey. "So was she happy with you?" Damon asked as he sipped his drink. “Yes. We were happy mate. It was different. I felt almost human.” I said noticing he kept playing with a leather bracelet he wore. “She made it for me when I was starving myself. I didn’t want to become a ripper after the war. She helped me survive on my own but when she left me I became a ripper.” Damon said draining his glass.

“You loved her didn’t you?” Stephan asked leaning back in his chair. “Who wouldn’t?” He snapped back. “You better take care of her if you want to stay with her. She has been put in enough danger because of you as it is.” Damon said seriously. I scanned his face. I didn’t see jealousy or hatred. He wanted what was best for Alice. I nodded.

“She’s mad at me you know.” I said filling my glass again. “We had a fight about the baby before she went into the coma.” Stephan’s eyebrows scrunched together. “The baby? What about it?” I sighed knowing what was to come. “I don’t want the child.” The brothers looked at me confused.

“Well…no it’s not that I don’t want the child it’s just that the child makes us vulnerable to attack. I would love to have a son but I don’t want that son to threaten the safety of his mother. All I’ve ever wanted is family but I have lived for hundreds of years gaining more enemies than I can count. The child won’t last a year in this world.” I said sighing as I leaned forward in the bar stool. "I wish I could just leave and allow her to live a good life. But if I do that she will only follow me." I said my grip tightening on the glass. 

"Well at least you will have her forever. Bonnie will break the spell and you two can ride off into the sunset with your baby." Stephan said smiling hopefully. "You sound like her." I said as I stared at the bottles of alcohol in front of me. I remembered the first time Alice and I spoke of a family. 

We were in Cuba on the beach enjoying the sun as we sat on out blanket. I wrapped an arm around Alice as she leaned back on her hands.. She leaned into me closing her eyes as my hands traveled up to her shoulders and started to message them. "Mmmmm. Oh by the way Rebekah sent us a letter. She's in Amsterdamn. She's asking about when we'll be having kids." She said laughing lightly as she sat up running her fingers through her hair. I chuckled since it was a well known fact that vampires couldn't concieve.

"If we could have a family would you?" She asked curiously as she turned to me her scarlette hair falling over her right eye as she spoke. "In another life maybe love. I want you to be safe. I would love to have a family yet I know the child would never be free from persecution for being my child."

She chuckled. "Well if the child couldn't take persecution I don't think it could be ours." She said wrapping her arms around my neck as she slid onto my lap. She rested her head against mine. "If I could have a family....I would but because of who I am-" "You would make a great father." She said pecking my lips before standing up only to have me drag her back down by her arm. "I don't know about that love but I do hope our imaginary child get's your personality because I don't think people would be able to handle another Klaus." She laughed as she kissed me pulling herself onto me. "Well we'll cross that bridge when we get to it." She said as I captured her lips once more. 

I was snapped out of the flashback by Damon who gripped my shoulder shaking me. "Hey you okay there?" He asked nodding towards my glass. It was shattered into shards of glass that were cutting into my hands. I nodded ripping the glass out of my hand. "Alice?" I nodded at the younger Salvatore brother.

"I need to get her out of my head." I mumbled. I got up and walked out of the bar beckoning the brother's after me. I walked out into the forested area of the town and turned to them. "I want you to break my neck and continue to over the next few days as Bonnie prepares for the spell." I said causing the brothers to step back in shock. "I am going to want to see her again and will go after Bonnie if she doesn't allow me to see her. So just do it." Damon looked at Stephan before stepping towards me. He nodded. "For Alice." There was a sharp pain in my neck then I was in darkness.
