Chapter 16
POV Elisa
I watch him as he gradually goes up the stairs. I go up to Niklaus'room and see that my stuff had already been moved in but he wasn't in the bedroom. Most of the garments where probably new because I definitely recall that I didn't have much before I ran and the little I had weren't this gorgeous.
I sit on the bed lost in thought for a while, wondering why Niklaus hasn't asked the unavoidable question.
Why was I unconscious on the street ? And where was Kristan ? I had been wanting him to ask me these questions at the dinning, at least it showed that he cared.
I loose myself in thought for a while and finally decides to change into something free and go to bed. I change into one the nightgowns that hung up beautifully in the dresser. Most of them were bright colors but I didn't want to wear them at least not with my current sour mood. So I picked up a black one, changed into it and laid down on one side of the bed.
Soon, I hears footsteps and the sound like raging ones, so I immediately know who came into the bedroom. He's back.
" Sit ", he says to me with a calm expression, fully aware that I was awake and yes my intention was to pretend to be asleep. I sit up an look at him.
" Now, you'll give me the answer to my questions and do them fast ", he says. His expression is indifferent, so I couldn't tell if he was angered to ask or he actually cared and i doub8he did.
" First, what happened to that lowlife ", I look up at him knowing all too well that he spoke of Kristan
" Umm . . . . He wanted to give me away to my father ", the expression on Niklaus' face changes slightly but I still can't read the emotions behind them.
" Why were you lying down in the middle of the street if half of what your new ' friend ' says is even true ", I look up at him as he emphasizes on the word ' friend '.
Does he really think, I'm having an affair with Fred. Wait, could he be jealous ? I laugh at my subconscious for having the dumbest thoughts.
I narrate to him what had happen between I and Kristan and how I woke up to find herself in Vincent's bedroom. I look down as I notice his expression changing from that of anger to disgust. Oh my , he might just end up killing someone tonight
" That bas****, I'm so gonna kill him ", he gets up. And there he goes, just like I thought he would.
" Niklaus wait ", I say and he halts at the door, he turns and faces me but unlike before, he's eyes aren't the same colour. They look more deadly but suprisingly, I don't feel scared, I feels happy - excited actually.
I get up and walks up to him slowly, my body clearly betraying my thoughts and common sense telling me that I should probably run and stay as far away from him as possible. But wait . . . . are they ? To be honest, my thoughts are telling me to seduce him and make him do things to me, things I don't even know what they are yet. But for every inch I take closer to Niklaus, I feel weak in the knees.
" Hey . . . ", I reach out and caresses his face and he stares at me like an obedient wolf which looks very . . . S***
" You don't need to kill anyone for me, okay ? Look, I'm perfectly fine and I'm here . . . with you " I say my voice sounding husky and I know that it's sexy because I see him gulp an imaginary drink. I don't actually know what made me to say that but I did it anyway.
He looks away from me but I refuse to let him have his way, so I bring his face back so he could stare at me and feel the way I felt - how do I feel ? I'm still unable to answer the question but I still go on with what I'm doing anyways.
" What do you want " he says he's usual demeaning and cold tone now soft and sweet, making it even more difficult for me to not lean in and give him a kiss. He gulps again and my eyes can't seem to leave the movement of his Adam's apple.
I lean in, slowly and give him a soft kiss on the lips, our lips part each other. His eyes meet mine as if asking me to tell what I really want and how I want him to accomplish and quench my desires.
He takes the lead this time and kisses me so fiercely making his desires clear. I kiss him back but with time I start to loose breath and I feel so weak in the knees. It feels like he could read my thoughts cause he grabs me by the waist supporting my already failing legs.
" Your. . . ", just as I think, something might actually happen between Niklaus and I. A guard walks in and stumbles upon the scene of our make out. His eyes widen in shock and fear the next second. His legs begin to tremble and his face as pale as sheet like he had just seen a ghost.
Before I could compose myself and shy away from the embarrassment. The once pale man is now on the floor . . . . Dead ! Niklaus had just snapped his neck and it left me speechless with my mouth wide open as my eyes dart from the dead man on the ground to the monster I almost slept with.
Tears begin to well up in my eyes before I could even comprehend all that had just happened.
" Why did you do that to him ? ", I say finally finding my tongue. I couldn't bare to look at the dead man anymore, so I look away. He doesn't give me an answer and also avoids looking me in the eye.
" Answer me !" I say clearly unable to take his inhumane behavior.
" He deserved it, so you don't have to pity him ", his words live me stunned. I open my mouth to say something but I can't think of anything that'll transform a beast to a human. I angrily dash back to the bed, cover my body with the blanket and close my eyes shut.
I hear him him call someone in - obviously Vatler and asks him to clear out the mess he had just made like it was nothing.
Sleep right now is the least of my worries, I doubt I'd be getting any. Niklaus doesn't stay in the bedrooms but leaves instead. A part of me desperately wanting him to try to explain himself to me, at least show that he cared how I felt but he just leaves. He leaves me to my thoughts.
I open my eyes and stare blankly at the wall refusing to look at the door and remind myself of the scene that just played right before my eyes.
Before I knew it, I drift off leaving my thoughts to my dreams.
