Captured - Klaus Mikaelson x Reader

Captured - Chapter Eight

As soon as the village was restored, a bright light engulfed my vision. Opening my eyes, I saw the corridor we were in what seemed like hours ago. Now knowing what we must do, I quickly made my way to the next safe, opening it swiftly and removing the objects, and as my hand hovered over the letter my mother's words rang in my head.

Letters not only from me

Could this be my mother's? Or did I have to prepare myself for something unpredictable? Given my luck, I was thinking among the lines of the latter. Slowly, unfolded the paper in a way that I had done before but with more hesitance and doubt in my actions. Taking the glimpse, a sudden rush of relief flew through me as the familiar writing was displayed on the paper, however, my relief faltered when my eyes skimmed over the words.

Y/n, 

These may be my last words to you, you have heard my peace and how I am proud of you, but I have a secret that I wish I could have screamed from the Otherside, your father... your father lives. I cannot express how I did not let you grow up with him if I had let him see you and watch you grow up, then maybe I would not have left you an orphan and that will be my deepest shame, my worse mistake so you could have been freed from the hands of her. You will find him, little wolf, I swear to you.

PS, as much as I hate to say it, I'm warming up to this Niklaus, he may be of possible worth to my daughter.

Always and forever,

Your loving mother.

Tears that poured from my eyes landed on the bleached white floor, my supernatural hearing catching the echo of the droplets- the liquid making sudden outbursts at the contact. Klaus wrapped his arms around my smaller frame, holding my head against his chest as he placed his chin above my head so I had all opportunities to be closer to him and feel more comforted. 

"My father lives... I do not know what to think of this Niklaus, how? How is he alive after all of these years?" I asked, rhetorically. I knew that no one as of yet had any answers, maybe my mother did but it sounded as if she only had limited time to write. I know something is wrong, the urgency of each word. I can't help but let the teardrop turn into rivers as the visuals of my mother being harmed come forth. I couldn't compete with how many emotions I was feeling, it had been a long time.

Was he bringing the best or worse out in me? I wasn't sure but I knew I loved the feeling of being this free- finally, after all the years of screaming, running, heartache and chasing I felt like where I was meant to be, was here.

"Are you okay, love?" His voice rang in the air filling up the silence. I looked up eyes as wide as a wild doe, my mother is okay, she has to be she's always been strong. I smiled weakly and nodded my head enjoying the extra minutes of just the sound of two beings alive.

"You wanna get out of here?" I asked, looking around as if I won't see this place again but something in my head told me I will. He grabbed my hand as gently as he could- as if he was taming a wild beast, I laughed under my breath at the thought as we went towards the rustic kind of door with light shining through the edges as if it was a supernatural 'exit' sign that we possibly came from and as soon as we held onto the handle a spark fluttered, suddenly it was darkness.

I took a sharp breath in as my eyes snapped open, it felt as if I had been laid there for a century. Stretching my arms and legs as the aching sensation was washing over me, I looked over to see Klaus there, hovering over me with bleak tired eyes as they were focused on mine in such a way that I could recognise as fear and confusion. 

"Everything alright?" I said, slowly as I felt like he needed room, "Yes, love- you were just there a lot longer than I was, I thought you were stuck or not going to wake up" he replied, weakly. I nodded and gave him a reassuring look. I stood, granted my feet felt like water being weak and unbalanced.

"I'm okay, Klaus," I paused, turning over to see him, "I feel as if I were hit by a ton of bricks, however, other than that I feel fine." I laughed, helping him also stand up as I wistfully admired his tall frame. It was a strong feeling that had washed through me as I could see things that only I could depict as the future, realising we could be in serious trouble.
