Tara POV
I woke up feeling wet. I rolled the covers down and saw blood. I sucked in a breath panicking.This had to be the most embarrassing moment of my life. Klaus stood up looking at me then the stain on the white sheets. He looked back up at my eyes flickering he came to urging me "Love, get in the shower. I will get someone to clean this" he said referring to the mess.
"Okay. Thank you Klaus" I said sincerely. He nodded making feel comforted in this situation. I hoped inside the shower feeling my sore bones. Coming out of the shower I stopped at the door hearing Klaus yell for
"REBEKAH"! "Bloody hell Niklaus why are you shouting"? "I need your help. Tara started her ...." he paused.
"Period Niklaus it's okay to say it. I will get the housekeeper to get this and I'm gonna get what she needs. Just calm down Klaus." "Just hurry up I can hear her she's out of the shower.Ten minutes went by before I heard a knock at the door. I opened it seeing a bag full of feminine products. I hurried and finish my business.
I walked out and Klaus was now sitting on a clean bed. Instead of the all-white bedsheets, there was black instead. Klaus noticed my eyes telling me to come for over. I walked over and sat beside him leaving a little room between us.
"I don't want you going to school today.Rebekah told me that periods can be troubling for some women so just relax until all this is over. I'm going out and will be back late .Behave or there will be consequences. "Okay" I agreed. He stood up placing a kiss to my forehead. As the door closed I laid my head on the black fluffy pillows. When I woke up the time was eleven pm. I pulled the covers off me and got out of the bed.
I shivered while I walking out of the room and down the steps. I walked into the dining room finding no one in site. I opened the fridge trying to find something to eat. As I grabbed what I needed I closed the door to find. "Hello" Rebekah smiled making me jump feel startled.
"You scared me" I laughed nervously holding my heart. "What are you doing outside of your room at this time of night" She asked looking at the clock in the corner.
"I'm just getting some ice cream. I haven't had dinner" I explained quickly. "No, No, No,you need real food" she sassed like someone's mother. She grabbed the pint of ice cream in my hand putting it back into the freezer. "I will make you something delicious" she said delighted clapping her hands with excitement.
"Wow, I'm surprised you can cook".
"Of course, I can cook. We've been alive for centuries. I've learned from many professional chefs.Go sit at the counter" she ordered rolling up her sleeves. Sitting on the stool in the corner I watched her move around the kitchen. She looked graceful, poised. She made a plate of spaghetti and sat it in front of me. As I began to dug in Rebekah sat beside me."You know he's changed a lot since you've come here."
"I don't think so. Did you not hear him yesterday at dinner. How he killed those wolves and laughed with no emotion" I shake my head. "I know it doesn't seem like it but he has. The reason is of you" she smiled warmly holding my hand.
"He's happier than I've ever seen him. I know you hate him but could you try to give him a chance. I can't believe I'm saying this but I think he loves you". She looked at me and I could tell that she was getting hopeful but I just couldn't.
"I can't. He took me away from my parents. I never got the high school experience because we had to run from him. I don't have any friends. Couldn't really go anywhere, travel. I can't even talk to my parents" I sighed wiping the tears of my cheeks. I felt arms wrap around me Rebekah with a sorry expression on her face."I'm sorry. You're right. How about we not talk about him. Would you like to watch some movies with me?" At first I hesitated until I thought a movie couldn't hurt. She's nothing like her psycho brother.
"Sure ".
I took my plate of spaghetti following Rebecca into a cinema room. I didn't realize how many rooms there were in this place. We went through so many movies. Laughing and talking about the characters. I sat my plate on the counter table and continued watching the movie. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Klaus POV
I walked back up into I and Tara's room. However, once I opened the door the darkness welcomed me with nobody laying in bed. I rushed down the stairs worried until I heard a heartbeat. The sound of slow breathing and I knew it had to be Tara."Niklaus she's in here" I heard Rebecca say. I walked inside the theater room. Tara was bundled hp in covers asleep. She looked so peaceful. Unlike my frazzled state.
"You love her? Don't you" Rebekah asked looking at Tara. "Of course. She makes me feel things and when around I feel at peace"."She hates you. She wants to go back to her mom and dad. I don't think she will ever forgive you for taking her away from her parents or messing up her life". "I know but I want to keep her all to myself. I can't let her go something in me just won't" I struggle to explain.
"You're gonna have to watch her she might try to escape" Rebekah blinked tipping her head at me. "If she does I would drag her back here and break her legs. So, she won't ever leave me again" my eyes glowed. "Niklaus she's already scared of you. Don't make it worse" Rebekah looked at me with fear."I won't as long as she doesn't try to leave me" I whispered picking Tara up bridal style out of the cinema room. I walked up the steps and into our room. I laid her on the bed and changed into my boxers.
I moved around to get into a comfortable position and Tara snuggled up against my chest. As I closed my eyes I thought how one day she would want to be close to me while she was awake. She would be happy to be around me and look at me with loving eyes.
