The Vampire Diaries

"Well you wobt leave when I've told you it's for the best..."

"I'm never going to change."

"You don't know that."

Vanessa flinched, eyes opening from where she'd been dozing on the sofa. "Hi Jay... Nice to see you."

---

Nikolai sighed and closed his eyes

"No, no. It's fine. Don't apologise. Come here? I'd get up and hug you but I'd probably collapse half way to you and that'd be embarrassing."

---

Nikolai was silent too.

"Oh I've missed you." Vanessa whispered as she hugged him back tightly.

---

Nikolai leaned against him.

"I'm better now you're here kiddo. A lot better."

---

"Go if it's bothering you..."

"I'm a weak human, your dad ended things and kicked me out..."

---

"It just doesn't. I've experienced worse than a few drops of rain."

"We always knew you were a pure soul! But when we mapped out your life centuries before you were born the beasts created by magic had not been created. We did not factor those in! Your life was supposed to be a long long human one with your first love, thirteen children were to be borne from you. We had it all planned out. And then you were turned into one of those beasts and killed your love and we did not know what to do with you. The fate of the world, your lineage was altered. You drove yourself to despair and you forgot us. And then centuries later, we gave you another love in the form of the hybrid child, in hopes we could save your soul before it was too late. She was a blessing to both her parents and to you from the moment she was born. But you were still wallowing in your pity to notice the signs as we tried to push you together and she ended up bearing her first child to another man. And then you finally found her and you pulled your life back together, and you found us again. And we rewarded you by bringing back your first love. You were to have them both. You were never supposed to choose. Your fate was them both. That is why you cannot fall out of love with either of them. You would've been gloriously happy. Though again through the use of magic, Vanessa's fate was changed. No longer was her fate just you, it is the man with whom she has her other children. Which is why she cannot fall out of love with you or the other man. The path to happiness now is the four of you. We cannot help the way things have been altered and changed, but that is the path to happiness for you now. It will have it's obstacles and it will not always be easy. I see jealousy and arguments, but I also see happiness if you can bring yourself to work past the hardships." The boy said in faint whispers, barely raising his voice before falling completely silent. "We have given you all you needed to be happy, the loves, your mother, your children. You'v just never been able to slot everything together the way we hoped you would."

"Things, circumstances, witches interfering and creating abominations. They changed the plan. Kali was always to be yours from her design, as was Vanessa. Again, things were changed and twisted and it you are both of their fates, should they so choose. Kali may not agree, her future is cloudy and blurry to me as I try to see it. If she declines, you will be released of your love for her and if she keeps her faith we shall decide another fate for her."

"It is for Kali to decide. Remember what we have told you. You shall only be rewarded with happiness if you pull through the hardships. They are two loves. Your first love and your true love. And you are one of the lucky few who has been allowed to keep both. If it is what you wish. You can chose to be released of your love for Vanessa, which will fade over time, and she of her love for you."

"Do not look to her. It is your choice. One, the other, or both."
