E p i s o d e 9 P a r t 1

Aleksios P.O.V:

"Lexie" I hear a voice whisper but I don't respond.

"Pssst, Lexie!" I hear a little louder and near me and I groan.

"Go away I want to sleep." I say swatting my hand towards the intruder.

"Ow!" I hear a voice which I identify as Nik's complain and I'm instantly wide awake. I see my room is dark but I can make out his form from the moonlight shining through my window.

"What do you want?" I ask him sitting up and I brush my fingers though my hair. I reach for the elastic band on my wrist and I tie my hair up in a messy bun.

"I wanted to talk to you." He says as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"And this couldn't wait until morning?" I ask him and he climbs into bed next to me.

"Couldn't sleep." He says and I see hold something out to me but it's still to dark to make out what it is, from the smell I can tell it's a bloodbag.

"Thanks." I say grabbing it.

"So what did you want to talk about?" I ask him after I finished the bloodbag and Nik quickly sped downstairs to throw it away.

"What is going on twin? You've been out of it since you came back from the little witch and don't lie to me, cause I'll know." He says using my own words from before against me.

"I let her go." I say and I tell him the whole story and by the end of it, I'm a sobbing mess. God, I have only cried like this when Kol died.

"Shhh, it will be okay." Nik says rubbing my back soothingly. Somewhere during my story telling he took me onto his lap.

"W-will it?" I ask with a hiccup.

"Yes because in the end everything is okay. So if it's not okay then it's not the end." He says wisely and I smile.

"And also because tomorrow Dav- sorry she-who's-name-shall-not-be-said will be moving in her for her protection. They can find her anytime in that attic and we won't be able to protect her." He says after I flinched at the mention of her name. I nod before realision what he say. I shot out of bed and I look at him in disbelief.

"What?" I ask, praying I hear wrong. I can stay away from her if we're living together.

"I'm sorry but I can't leave her the to fend for herself. Powerful or not, she's still mortal." He says and I nod after realising he's right.

"Your right." I say climbimg back into bed.

"So, I was thinking-" He begins.

"That's never good." I say interuping him.

"Hey!" He yells offended.

"What? It's true and lower your voice before you wake up everyone." I tell him.

"Anyways-" He says annoyed and I grin to myself. "I was thinking, maybe I should give Marcel another chance. I mean he did pick up the coin and pledge alligence to me." He says and I sigh.

"Like I said: It's never good." I tell him and I can feel him rolling his eyes.

"Then what do your suppose sister, that we live in anger and mistrust of one another?" He ask me sincerely.

"I suppose not. But I will take longer to trust him again." I tell him truthfully.

"I will try though." I say.

"That's all I ask." He tells me happily and I checked the time on my phone which was lying on my nightstand.

"You woke me up at 3am?" I ask him in disbelief.

"Sorry?" He says but it comes out more of a question.

I don't know how long we lay down there but somewhere along the way I fell into a peaceful sleep.

***

When I wake up again the sun is high and there is a rumble of voices downstairs and I put my hair into a new messy bun as I sit up. I look to my side and I see Nik's gone.

Getting up and not caring about my pajamas I make my way downstairs to get some orange juice and start my coffee.

I feel alot of eyes on me but I couldn't care less.

"You do realise that of you're be dressed like that they are gonna look, right?" I hear a voice say and I decide give the vampire an answer rather than a snide comment.

"I don't care if they look but the second they touch, I'm ripping their hearts out." I tell him truthfully. I make my way towards kitchen and then the fridge.

I look though the contents of it and I see a box of OJ with 'LEXIE'S DON'T TOUCH' written on it and I smile.

"Thank you Nik." I say to myself while opening it and I take a huge gulp. I walk to the coffee pot and I put it on.

I take the box of juice and I make my way to the nearest chair and I plop down in it but I keep listening for when the coffee is done.

"What time is it?" I ask out of the blue, realising I had no idea what the time is.

"Just past one." I hear another voice say and I nod in thanks. It's the best their gonna get seeing as I don't know them.

A couple of seconds later I hear the coffee machine go of and I make my way to the kitchen and to stop dead in my tracks.

"God must hate me." I mutter under my breath as I take her in. She still looks beautiful but like mine, her eyes doesn't shine anymore. Sencing someone in the kitchen with her she looks up and her eyes lit up as they land on me. Taking in my appearance an adoring blush settles on her cheeks.

We stand they for a while just taking the other's presance in. As I stand here I realise something. I missed her. I really missed her. It's been what? A couple of hours? Somehow I missed her alot.

Feelings are so confusing, I thought to myself.

Neither of us speaks, afraid that of we do, the other might dissapear. I know it's reality though but somehow I just can't bring myself to say something.

"Hi." She squeaks up after some time and that one word hangs between us.

"Hey. Want some OJ?" I ask her holding up the box and I could have face palmed myself.

OJ? Really Aleksios?

"No, thank you." She says shaking her head and I furrow my eyebrows.

"You don't like orange juice?" I ask her with wide eyes.

"I do." She says quickly. "I just don't want some right now." She says and I nod.

I take out a cup and pour me some coffee and I almost put it back down when I remember my manners.

"Coffee?" I ask her again.

"Sure." She answers with a slight smile cause my mouth corners to lift as well and I take out another cup.

"Here you go. Just put in some milk and sugar." I say handing her the coffee. I drink my coffee black, no sugar in the mornings.

"Thank you." She says softly and I nod.

We stand side by sides as another silence takes us but like before it's not uncomfortable. It's like we're at peace just with one another's presance.

"Would you look at that, the sleeping demon has awaken." I hear my twins teasing voice say and I look up to glare at him.

"Don't. Talk. To. Her. Like. That." Davina says from besides me though gritted teeth and the kitchen shakes slightly. I place an hand on her arm to calm her down and to asure her it's fine with wide eyes.

She calms down and gives me a smile, one that leaves me breathless.

"We are like that with one another all the time." I tell her with a smile and she nods and I turn to my twin as I remove my hand. Not wanting to give her the wrong impression.

I see Nik and Marcel looking at us in disbelief.

"Good morning to you too Niklaus." I say in a mocking sweet voice, one which I know irritates him. I see him wince and I grin.

"Okay, I get it." He says and I chuckle. "So go get dressed and meet me and Marcel in the barroom and Davina you can you can do whatever." Nik says and goes to walk away but I clear my thoat before he could.

"Please?" He asks when he turned back and I nod.
