His (A Niklaus Mikaelson Fanfic)

Chapter 41- Confusion

I stood supporting Alice's shaking frame as she cried while leaning against my chest. Why am I letting her do this? She left me. I should be furious with her. I should be ready to kill her. But seeing her eyes looking so empty and so broken I couldn't leave her to suffer. Not her. My whole life she's been there for the people she loves. It's about time someone should be here for her.

I felt her knees give way so I lifted her up and lay her down on the bed crawling up next to her. She wipped away her tears and sat up. "I'm sorry." She trying to make herself look presentable. She used her sleeve to rub her eyes then pushed her hair out of her face. "Here love use your sleeve like this to-" "No really it's okay Nik. You don't have to." I pushed her sleeve up and she closed her eyes.

"Love what...." She opened her eyes and looked down at her scarred arms. Scratches ran up and down her arms  ranging from deep to barely visible. "Who did this to you?" I asked my voice briming with rage. "Leave it alone Nik it's not important who-" "Did they do it to John?" She shook my head firmly. "No. I ensured they couldn't hurt him. They used wolf's bane to torture me to find out who the father of my child was. They wanted to know where the first hybrid child came from." She shrugged.

"How can you be so calm?" I asked concern. "Because I have no choice. If I make a big deal out of it then John will worry and I don't want him to so I just don't think about it." She said simply. "Alright love but you need to heal that up then." I bit my wrist and offered her. She closed her eyes and thought for a second before pressing my wrist to her lips and sinking her fangs into it. I had to stop myself from shuddering as I felt a pang of pleasure from her drinking from me. She drank a little then wiped her mouth pushing my hand back to me, leaving me rather upset by her absence.

"I'm going to go to the library and read for a while. I'll um....see you later." She got up and walked out of the room book in hand.

I leaned against the bed frame trying to calm my racing mind. Being so close to her. It recreated images from when I was a child. Her laughing, playing and teasing me. I got off the bed and walking over to my sister's room to see her reading with her nephew.

I went downstairs and noticed Elijah sitting and writing at the desk in the living room. "What is it about her being back that scares you brother?" I look over at my sibling as I look through the book shelf. "I just don't trust her not to leave me again." I said sighing as I looked for my favorite book.

"Alice has it in the library and you should. She was trying to protect her child Klaus granted she didn't have the right to just leave but her actions were justified." I rolled my eyes before walking upstairs.

I walked into my room and poured myself a drink. The first of many as I paced back and forth in my room. Trying to understand this strange feeling I had.

I went for many hours without being disturbed before the door to my room opened. "Oh sorry Nik I didn't realize you were in here." Alice said apologetically. Her eyes looked brighter and her hair looked shinier. Her hips looked fuller, her curves looked more prominent and her bust looked bigger. She was beautiful.

"Nik....are you drunk?" I shook my head, half trying to releave myself of the light headed feeling I had, and took a few steps towards her. "Buzzed? I think that's what you would call it. But no not drunk." Alice nodded in relief. "Good cause our son's next door and I don't want to have to deal with a drunk fiancee and a crying child as much as I love him."

"Did you enjoy the book?" I asked nodding towards my book of poetry. "Yes I did. It's amazing." She said brightly. "If you don't mind I'm going to try playing piano and-" I walked over to the closet and pulled out her guitar. "Oh my- you kept it?" I nodded smiling shyly as I handed it to her. She started to strum. "Play something for me." She nodded closing her eyes.

You and I go hard, at each other like we going to war
You and I go rough, we keep throwing things and slammin' the door
You and I get so, damn dysfunctional we stopped keeping score
You and I get sick, yah I know that we can't do this no more

But baby there you go again, there you go
Again making me love you
Yeah I stopped using my head, using my head let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid crawling back to you
So I cross my heart, and I hope to die, that I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night

Trying to tell you no, but my body keeps on telling you yes
Trying to tell you stop, but your lipstick got me so out of breath
I'd be waking up, in the morning probably hating myself
And I'd be waking up, feeling satisfied but guilty as hell

But baby there you go again, there you go again making me love you
Yeah I stopped using my head, using my head let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid crawling back to you
So I cross my heart, and I hope to die, that I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I've said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night

Yeah baby give me one more night
Yeah baby give me one more night
Yeah baby give me one more night

But baby there you again, there you again making me love you
Yeah I stopped using my head, using my head let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So I cross my heart, and I hope to die, that I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I've said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night

I stared at her in shock. She chose that song out of the book full of music she wrote. I stood up no longer feeling the effects of the alcohol and walked out of the room slamming the door and locking it. She wasn't going to leave again not ever. I could hear her yelling out at me to let her go but I ignored her.

A few hours later I returned to the room after being yelled at by Rebekah for a solid hour and found Alice sitting on the floor leaning against the bed. She didn't say anything when I entered. She didn't even look up. "Are you going to get up love or do I have to drag you?" "Drag me by all means." I glared down at her to see tears glistening in her eyes. "What's wrong now love?" I growled pulling her to her feet.

"You are treating me like a prisoner, like a monster!" She yelled angrily. She threw a punch at me but I caught it pulling her around so her back faced me. There was so much tension in the room. "Don't ever do that again." I growled against her neck. "Let me go." She whispered her breathed hitched as I pulled her around so I was facing her.

My eyes scanned her face as I tightened my grip on her. "I hate the effect you have on me Alice. Because right now all I can think about it how beautiful you look right now." I whispered her eyes widened in shock making her look more innocent than she already did. Then I did the one thing I thought I'd never do again. I kissed her.
