Some Say Ice

Even If It Means Killing Me Too?

Rebekah was angry when I told her that Nik had left without us, I offered for her to stay at my place but she decided that punishing the Salvatore's by staying at their place was much more appealing, saying "If Stefan was honest in the first place and This Damon wasn't such a bloody idiot then we wouldn't be stuck here."  I told her where to find the Salvatore residents and my place if she changed her mind before grabbing my bags from the truck and going home and falling asleep on my couch, too exhausted from the past few months to even make it to my bed.

****Dream****

I'm wake up on a bed chained and bolted to the wall and i can feel the dark room rocking, I'm on a ship. I look at my gown to see a red corseted and heavily layered gown ( the sleeves long and the corset tight on my body making my cleavage exceptionally noticeable), my feet bare and my hair in a half up half down style. I have on some pearl earrings with a pearl necklace to match. It's quite beautiful all together. I heard the sound of water hitting the side of the large vessel and the smell of sea salt invaded my senses before I heard a loud scream outside of the room. I walked as best as I could out of the room and to the source of the scream, tumbling slightly because of the rocking of the ship. I made it up to the main deck when I saw Nik with a bloody chin throwing a dead man over the side of the ship and into the water, Elijah looking at a map and compass as Beks cleaned a bit of blood off her mouth. "How much longer until we reach land?" Rebekah asks turning to her brothers. " Not long Rebekah." Elijah said looking between a map out for the shore. "Nik you got blood all over you." Rebekah said in a disgusted tone giving him a handkerchief so he could fix himself up. I went up the the edge of the boat and saw the night sky against the sea and took a deep breath whilst closing my eyes. The rocking of the ship relaxing me.

I stood there for a moment basking in the light sibling banter going on between the three until a rather interesting topic popped up. "What about this dream girl of yours Nik with the red hair?" Rebekah asks Niklaus. I look at Nik to see him roll his eyes with a bit of a smile tugging at his lips as he attempted to smear the blood off his hands with the handkerchief he cleaned his face of blood with. "I still cannot fully see her, mostly just parts like her hair or eyes  or her smile, but i did hear her laughter the other night." He said refusing to look up at his siblings who shared a look of endearment as I blushed wildly. "Her laughter?" Elijah asked in a teasing tone. Nik then rolled his eyes  and met his brothers teasing gaze. "Yes, Elijah, her laughter. I know this seems absolutely psychotic but I know she is real. I can feel it in my bones, brother. She is my mate and I will find her." Nik said with such determination, it flattered me to think of how hell bent he seemed to find me. Elijah put his hand on Nik's shoulder with a smile before replying, "And we will help you find her, Niklaus. Isn't that right Rebekah?" Elijah ask gesturing to Beks with a smile. She smiled at her brothers and for the little moment of humility. "Of course. We are a family, Nik. Always and forever." Rebekah says taking each brothers hand and they both recite the last words back to her. The meaning of the words not making sense to me. Perhaps I should ask Nik or Rebekah the meaning behind the phrase but for now I look on at he moment before being harshly ripped from it.

******End of Dream*******

I woke up to a ringing sound and realized I was getting a phone call from an unknown number. I slightly groaned and answered it. "If you're not a Mikaelson or a Salvatore I will hang you by your tongue for waking me up." I said sitting up. "Well then , love, it's a good thing I'm a Mikaelson." I heard Nik's voice say the smile on his lips becoming part of his words. "Nik? We've hardly been apart for a few hours, don't tell me you miss me already?" I said with a smirk. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and stood up going to my room with my things in one hand and the phone in the other. "What can I say, Little Red Wolf, you've made quite the impression on me." He said. I started moving the new ring he gave me around my finger with a smile, after setting my things on my bed and putting the phone on speaker. "What else did  you call for Nik?" I asked knowing that while he slightly might have missed me this call was for other intentions. "I simply wanted to know you were safe." He said finally and I smiled at his sentiment. "I am safe after you left i told Rebekah about you leaving then came home and slept." I said putting my things away and my dirty clothes to my washing machine. "I'm sure she was ecstatic about being left if Mystic Falls." He grumbles over the phone, knowing Beks must be angry with him, which she was. "Yes but she found a way to entertain herself. If I am correct Mystic Falls High should have a new student today." I said. "She's no bout hunting the homecoming queen." He jokes earning a laugh from both of us. "I'm going to go make myself situated. Be safe, Nik." I said. "Alright then, I will love.....Be careful." He said slowly which caused the smile on my lips to twitch upward a tad more before hanging up.

It's weird feeling like this about someone, I have taken a liking to Nik that I can possibly attribute to the soulmate thing but i genuinely find myself enjoying him. I use to run from the idea of dating and falling in love because I had people hunting me, I didn't need a weakness. I didn't want to care for someone and have them die or get hurt because of a man hunting me and using them, but with Nik it's different. I still have my doubt and reservations and I'm sure Nik has some of his own because of his father hunting him. He understands the structure of the walls I built around me because he has his own. I am just terrified that there's a chance I will fall in love with him and then he will leave me like my family did and I will die all over again. But for the moment I will enjoy the butterflies in my stomach when he laughs, the blush that rises when he touches me, and the rapid beat of my heart when I think about him. Which is hard to do when I know that the only person that can kill him and take him from me is on his way here to try to do so.

(Time Skip: Three Days)

Damon has been avoiding me like the plague which means he knows about Niklaus and I being mates. I got my bar tending job back at The Grill and every time i clock in he walks out. So far Nik has called me everyday to make sure I was still safe which I cant deny I look forward to his calls and talks of the hybrids he's procured. Rebekah and I have gotten even closer, best friends even. I walk into The Grill for some food to take home and see Damon at the bar I walk over to him and he attempts to get up to leave but I grab his arm and use my wolf strength to sit him back down. "We need to talk Damon." I say in a whisper. "About what? You shacking it up with Klaus. He's the enemy here Ally." He says with anger trying to get up again but i pierce my wolf claws into him effectively keeping him sitting down and making little movement. "It's more complicated than that Day. He's my soul mate its not just some guy i thought was hot at a club, it's real and I can't control it. As my friend I thought you would try to understand it, hell Damon you fell for Katherine and now Elena. So don't make me the bad guy because of who I care about cause I can just as easily do the same for you." I said before retracting my claws. Our eyes are locked on each other, his holding his anger with a slightest bit of sadness while mine are firm lined with the hope that he will understand. "You understand I can't just let him live? He has a hold on Stefan and Elena's life, he has to go." He said. "Even if it means killing me too?" I asked. He twitched his brows together slightly and clenched his jaw before getting up and leaving me without an answer but with frustration and sadness enveloping my heart.
