A dark, petite girl with mismatched eyes-one green and the other hazel-exudes an aura of bitterness and profound desolation. Tears cascade down her face, leaving trails of stains and a hint of salt on her tongue. She writhes slowly, each breath shallow and searing. Her small, dark hands press against her stomach, stained with ivory-colored blood. Her gaze remains fixated, unwavering, upon the crimson stain that taints her palms. In a display of morbid curiosity, she extends her arms, tilting her head ever so slightly. Her eyes meet their reflection-hollow, vacant orbs that mirror her own torment. The frigid emptiness within those depths stifles her voice, quelling her plea for absolution. Words and pleas of forgiveness have long been forgotten in her throat. She writhes, suppressing her cries, rolling over as if to stifle the whimpers that long to escape her lips. Her eyes flutter, lids descending in a gradual, tormented descent. Resisting the will to live, she succumbs to the irresistible allure of oblivion. Uncontrollable laughter bursts from her lips, echoing within the room and reverberating through the hollow walls of the crumbling, wuthering house. Yet, even as her giggle reverberates, her eyes flicker one last time, agonizingly slow. It is the sign she has been waiting for-she is free.
This is the first time she has died within the walls of her childhood house. Her gasps were once a twisted symphony, orchestrated solely for the ears of her watchful guardian-her aunt. A gilded dagger, adorned with intricate patterns that elude her understanding, now rests lodged within her stomach.
If only she could have remained among the dead.
If only she had remained dead.

Love never dies - Klaus Michaelson
I could hear her heart race and her breath get heavy. When she looked up at me, I saw tears run down her red cheeks. She flipped over onto her back and crawl away from me. I stood over her and I laughed at her helpless state. "I know a thousand ways to hurt you without spilling a drop of your blood. So, you either come quietly or in pain. Your choice?" I heard her cry and watched her tears stain her face. I almost wish Nik was here to see her cry in fear, it is so entertaining. Suddenly, I felt something pierce through my chest. My eyes widened. I gasped out in pain. My hands went to my heart. I inhaled some air quickly. I felt myself grow weak like I was falling to the ground. I was surprised that I was on the floor. I looked down at my hands. They had turned gray. I felt lifeless. The veins in my body rose to the top of my skin while the gray covered everything. The last thought I had before the end was one name. Nik? _________________________________________________________ Dawn Gilbert has just lost her parents.

Broken ~ K.mikealson
Lily's breath hitched as she slammed her foot on the gas pedal. She couldn't afford to stop-she knew he wasn't far behind. He never was. Her trembling hands gripped the steering wheel tighter. The crowd she had just driven through blurred into a smear of faces, but one stood out. Klaus. His piercing eyes locked onto her car The look on his face was like a dagger to her chest-anger so potent it scorched her soul, hurt so raw it twisted her insides.She couldn't escape him. She had pissed off Klaus Mikaelson-her best friend. No, she corrected herself, former best friend. Now, he wanted her dead. Or worse. The thought made her stomach churn. She didn't fear death-no vampire truly did-but the prospect of Klaus's revenge, the torture he was infamous for... that terrified her. She had seen what he could do to his enemies, the cold efficiency with which he broke them, both body and spirit. The man she had once trusted above all others, the one person in the world who had made her feel truly safe, was now the source of her deepest fear. A painful ache bloomed in her chest as memories of him flooded her mind-the way he used to smile at her in his rare moments of peace, the way his presence had been a shield against every fear and doubt she'd ever had. Part of her wanted to surrender. She thought about it often during her five years on the run. Would it be easier to face him and accept whatever punishment he had planned? After all, hadn't she earned it? She longed for just one more moment in his arms, for him to hold her as he used to, to remind her that she was safe. It was a foolish wish. He would never forgive her. She doubted he was even capable of forgiveness, not with the weight of all his centuries of pain. She barely noticed the sign ahead until it loomed into view, its bold letters illuminated in the headlights. Mystic Falls. Would Klaus find her here? Of course, he would. He always did. And this time, she wouldn't run.Complete![you'll find me here forever ➳ kol mikaelson [ the vampire diaries ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/264712492-256-k324331.jpg)

Dearest Sister
The first thing he saw when he woke was a pair of very familiar blue eyes, filled with amusement with a touch of concern and a soft smile curving her pink lips while a small crease centered her brow. "Dearest Elijah. Never has the thought of anyone beating you, ever crossed my mind. One of the best warriors in our village I do believe you once were, bested by two baby vampires." The blonde's laughter was the sweetest tune he had heard since they were human. One of his greatest friends and the one who had become like the older sister to all his siblings. "I thought you were dead... how are you alive?" The Mikaelson's voice was dry and raspy, for obvious reasons, "Where have you been all this time?" She smiled at him, "Mikael and Esther cared too much for me to let me continue as a mortal, Lijah. You know I was the replacement for Freya. As for where I have been..."Complete
