Forget-me-not -- Klaus Mikaelson

Prologue

"I love you. Always and forever." He told me, not being able to hold my gaze. "Don't do this! Please I'm begging you. I love you! Don't make me forget! I-" My breath hitched and he took it as his opportunity. I shook my head, silently begging him not to do this to me. To us. My prayers remained unanswered as he started looking deeply into my eyes, his hands on either side of my face.

"When I leave here you will not remember anything about us. About me and about anything we went through together. You came here to continue your studies and you will do so." He took a shaky breath as the tears trickled down my face. "I have taken everything that reminds you of me and stored them in a safe place." As he said that I had to think about the one thing of his I was able to save. The necklace he gave me for our three month anniversary. "You will build yourself a new life here in Chicago and you will start looking for a new job in the morning. The apartment is paid for in full. You will be happy here, Sarah." He wiped his own tears when he finished his last sentence. "Please Nik, please don't do this!" I tried one last time but I knew there was no way I would change his mind. He kissed me with everything he had and I kissed back knowing it would be the last time. Reluctantly he pulled back and put our heads together. Neither of us ready to let the other go.

Closing his eyes he abruptly turned around and walked towards the door. He put his hand on the doorknob and opened it. "Nik!" His figure stilled but he didn't turn around. This broke my heart even more. "I love you. I just want you to know that. You can compel me to forget you but you can never erase the love I have for you." He stayed motionless for a few seconds longer until he closed the door behind him and left me in the middle of the room confused as to why I was crying.

I was starting college back up again and I had a great apartment. I was going to be happy here I just knew it. But why did I have the nagging feeling something was missing? It felt like there was a gaping whole in my chest. I went to grab my journal to write and maybe make a little sense of why I was feeling this way, only to find out it wasn't in it's usual spot. Thinking I must've misplaced it I started looking around the apartment for it. When I still couldn't find it I started looking more feverishly, turning drawers inside out, taking the matrass off my bed but it was nowhere to be found. As a last resort I went looking in my jewelry-box I knew there was no chance I would've put it in there but I was desperate. Some of my most personal stuff is written in there.

Like I suspected I didn't find my journal in there. I sighed and was about to close it when something caught my eye. I turned my gaze towards a stunning necklace with a gemstone on it that seemed to glow in the moonlit room. I picked it up to take a closer look. The colors of it seamlessly flowed over in each other, the purple was the most vibrant and turned into more blue hues. It was beautiful but it was weird. I didn't recall ever getting that necklace. It felt like there was something missing in my brain. A gaping black hole where a memory should be. I looked at the front door as if that would suddenly make me remember but to no avail.

I went to put the necklace around my neck, feeling a strange connection to it somehow. But saw something engraved on the back. Curiously I read the inscription: Always and Forever yours, N.M.. This made the questions that I had triple. Who was N.M.? And why don't I remember them? I didn't know what was happening but I did know one thing. I was going to find out.

However long it takes.
