* Anastasia *

I blinked , looking around . I couldn't believe what I'd just seen . I was back in the village again , looking across the table from Niklaus . 

" Are you alright , Anastasia ? "he asked , looking over at me .

" Niklaus , where are we ? " I asked .

" The new world . Why ? What's gotten into you , love ? " he asked , pulling me into his arms .

I looked up at him and shook my head .

" I'm sorry ! This is wrong . I'm not the one you love! " I said , pushing out of his arms and running through the village , my long dress billowing out behind me as I ran , looking for Elijah .

I had to find him . Running past Henrick , I couldn't help but smile as people stopped and stared at me . 

" Where is she going ? " asked someone .

I didn't care ! I just kept running until I heard his voice down in the meadow with someone else . Tatia . My heart sank .

" Tatiana , it is wrong for you to not tell your sister about your adulterous affair with Niklaus ! " he said . 

Tatiana cried softly .

" Perhaps I will one day ! I love him , Elijah ! " Tatia said .

Elijah sighed .

" And so does she . " he said .

I hid behind a tree watching as Tatiana ran back through the woods in the direction of Klaus and once she was out of sight , I slipped out from behind a tree and walked up to Elijah in the meadow .

" You're wrong . " I said , looking over at him .

He looked over at me in surprise and embarressment .

" Wrong ? " he asked .

I nodded , walking closer to him .

" I don't love Niklaus . " I replied .

" You don't ? " he asked , even more confused then ever .

"No . I love you . " I replied , pulling him down into a kiss .

Elijah was surprised by the kiss , but wrapped his arms around my waist , holding me close to him .

" What brought this up ? " he asked with a smile .

" A dream . A very nice dream . " I replied with a small smile . 

 Elijah chuckled . 

" A nice dream , huh ? " he asked .

" Elijah , it was more then a dream . It was a vision . Today is the first day of the rest of our lives and I can't wait to share my life with you all over again . " I whispered , pulling him down into another kiss knowing that this wasn't the end .

It was just the beginning . I'd seen our future . And it was bright . 

--------- My last and final twist . Didn't see that one comming ! -------------
