Serena's POV

I angrily stormed off in a fit of hurt and anger, I felt slightly guilty for being so cold towards him, but then I reminded myself that I rightfully was all things considered, it was obvious that Niklaus had moved on and I didn't mean anything to him anymore otherwise he would not have invited that blonde-haired b*tch to the ball.

"Serena, wait!" I heard Niklaus calling me far behind me, and so I turn around fiercely trying to ignore my silent urge to rip all his clothes off and have my way with him..., "Would you stop following me? What do you want?" I huffed impatiently wanting to end this reunion as quickly as possible, "Please let us talk" He begged me sadly and I simply sighed "There's nothing to talk about, you moved on good for you see if I care" I add a little more harshly.

Niklaus takes my hand and I just snort, 'Like that is gonna woo me back into your graces' I thought angrily, "I never moved on from you, I have loved you always and forever and I would never have tried to find someone else had I known you were still alive, you have to believe me!" He explained to me desperately, I look into his blue-green eyes and start tearing up, "I want to, but every time I just picture that Forbes girl heading towards the entrance, I think that you and her are together now" I replied to him emotionally and snatching my hand out of his before I was wooed back in...

Klaus' POV

"Serena, wait!" I call Serena as I see her walking angrily far from me, I felt like a fool to fall for Caroline when my real love was here all this time. She answers my call by turning around and glaring angrily at me which made me feel so dejected, "Would you stop following me? What do you want?" she huffs at me making it clear that she does not want to talk more than necessary but I will never give up on her.

"Please let us talk" I begged her with a sad tone not wanting her to reject me but all she did was sigh and say: "There's nothing to talk about, you moved on good for you see if I care" she told me harshly, Looking up and down at her I couldn't help but marvel at her beauty and how I would want to have my way with her, Then looking at her beautiful eyes I could see that there was more hurt in them than anger, so I take her hand into mind fighting the impulse to entwine my fingers into her gentle ones, but to my disappointment she snorted "I never moved on from you, I have loved you always and forever and I would never have tried to find someone else had I known that you were still alive, you have to believe me!" I add more desperately.

As I desperately looked into her brown eyes, I saw that she was on the verge of tears making me want to caress her and comfort her as well, "I want to, but every time I just picture that Forbes girl heading towards the entrance, I think that you and her are together now" she replied to me tears streaking down her face, I looked at her grimacing at how upset she is but felt more hurt than ever when she snatched her hand out of mine all so suddenly, Looking up at her again I move closer to her and place my hands on her beautiful-skinned face cupping her cheeks, "Listen to me, tell me why is it that you left me all those centuries ago because from that heartbreaking day I never stopped thinking about you and longed to see you again but you left and never came back" I tell her, tears starting to stream down my face as I watch her face contort in agony and guilt, "I...I didn't have a choice, I never wanted to leave you" she manages to stutter out before starting to sob...

"Hey, don't cry this is not your fault it is mine." I told her resting my forehead on hers. I noticed that she stopped crying as if comforted by my embrace like always making me smirk happily a little without her knowing. "It may not be my fault entirely, but if I had stood up against HIM then you would not have been there all heartbroken and sad and we would have still been together" Serena told me suddenly looking at me dispiritedly, I frowned by what she said 'Who is HIM?' I thought curiously. As if reading my mind she already answered my question: "You should know who I am talking about" she told me with fear in her tone. Suddenly everything made sense of course she would not have just him like that and so Mikael the very hunter who was set on killing and chasing him must have done something to her, "What did he do to you?!" I roar angrily balling my hands in a fist at the thought of someone touching a hair on her head.

"H-he did nothing." Serena mumbles and lowers her head making it obvious that he did something.

I edge closer towards her until we were only a few inches apart, "Yes he did, Serena tell me what is it he did?" I ask her delicately cupping my hands in her cheeks.

"Do you really have to know?"

"Yes. I do." I told her a little firmly, Serena just stared at me and shook her head and sighed, "Fine I will tell you." she said reluctantly.

Serena took a step back to breathe a little more and then looked at me "Mikael slaughtered most of my family, he tortured  me until I was forced to do what he said other wise he would kill me" She told me breathlessly and then sat down on the front of a car parked near us and looked down, I was in complete shock and then I became furious "How could he do something like that to you? How could you not tell me about this for so long?!" I yelled channelling unto Serena.

I noticed Serena flinch and I instinctively pull her close to me, but she backed out and her beautiful eyes turned to anger, "Don't put this on me!" She yelled back at me, 'I should not have yelled at her' I thought stupidly, "Love-" I was about to apologize but she interrupted me "No, I have searched far and wide for you for centuries, and I never got the chance to tell you but I guess why I hate the idea of you and Caroline is because  I am still in love with you!" She yells her eyes glowing yellow and veins appearing.

 When Serena said those words my eyes went wide and my mouth almost fell open. All this time we were apart, she never moved on she always wanted me and I attempted to move towards her and tell her how I feel as well.

Serena backed off, and unexpectedly vamped off somewhere and vanished. I was still trying to process what she just said and then I realized I have to go after her.
