Thread: The legend of Tatia Patrova - (Supernatural affairs)

Nik laughed as he caught Cassandra mid air and spun around with her causing her to giggle childishly, Tatia smiled and shook her head. Okay my darling daughter, it is time that we go inside and start working on our dinner. She turned to gaze up into Nik's eyes as she smiled causing her beautiful brown eyes to sparkle in the sunset light. Klaus let Cassie down as he whispered to her with a grin on his lips, Mind your mother. Nodding to Tatia he bowed and bid her goodbye, My beautiful Tatia, I will see you on the morrow. She replied to him with a smile as she placed her hand on her daughters shoulder, turning her towards their hut as she spoke. Thank you for today, I had fun spending time with you. She turned and began to usher her little girl inside Come Cassie. - Yes mother her daughter responded and followed inside. On the way home the sun had gone down completely, and the moon was beginning to rise, Nik always felt an urge to run wild and free at night like he belonged but his mother always forbid him to go out at night. Esther seemed to be afraid every time he showed interest in being more active at night rather day. As Nik approached his hut, he could hear his mother inside cooking their dinner with the help of his sister, Rebekah. He walked into the hut and smiled as the two siblings eyes met, then he snuck up behind his mother to place a kiss on her cheek. Good evening mother. It smells wonderful in here. Esther replied with a smile and nodded, as she leaned in to her sons kiss, Thank you, Niklaus, and where exactly have you been? Her eyes met with her sons golden flaked hazel eyes. You were with that girl again, weren't you? Nik sat down at the family dinner table and nodded, Yes I was with Tatia. Esther then turned around and sighed, tilting her head to the side as she frowned and whispered. You know your father wishes you to train more rather than spending your time with that girl, you know she is spoiled right? She has a child already. Nik just shrugged in response to that, it didn't matter if she had a child already Nik knew that he loved the woman and nothing was going to stop him from seeing her, not even his father. That matters not to me. Just as he finished his statement Mikael and Elijah were walking in from hunting, his brother was quite interested in what his mother and brother were talking about, so he curiously asked. What doesn't matter to you brother? Have you finally accepted that I am a better hunter and fighter than you? He laughed jokingly, all the while their father silently scolded Elijah's encouragement with his eyes as he waited for Niklaus to reply to his brothers question. Nik turned to Elijah, completely ignoring their father and the scowl on his face as he replied. The fact that Tatia Petrova has a child already. She is a delightful woman with a beautiful mind, and I shall make her mine. Elijah narrowed his eyes at his brother taking that comment as a personal challenge, the two brothers were always competing against each other. As the wheels in his mind were turning, thinking of a master plan to meet and spend time with Tatia, as Mikael slammed his hands on the table and raised his voice. Enough! I will not listen to this nonsense any longer, Niklaus you will come with me tomorrow on a hunt, you need to sharpen your skills rather than court a young woman that has been soiled already! Niklaus' blood seemed to boil with rage, as it had begun to do since he hit puberty, Esther and Mikael both knew why the boy had such a short temper, but he did not not yet at least. Nik stood and screamed back at his father You will not stop me from seeing her, father. I love her! Mikael stood as well, determined not to let Esther's son show him up with defiance. You will do as I say boy, or you will not like the consequences. You will stay here and accompany me on my hunts until I say, is that clear boy!? Esther turned from the fire and she finally pitched in with a calm and collected soothing voice. Mikael, Nik is no longer a child he will have to find a wife sooner or later... She paused and glared at her husband as he seethed quietly, he started to object but Esther put up her hand to silence him. No, you will listen to me now. You both need to stop this, Nik your father only wants you to be well equipped for this world. Give it a chance. Turning to her husband once more she placed her hands on the table and leaned in And you, Mikael you need to be more gentle, maybe your son would learn from you better if you just spoke to him instead of fussing him all the time. Now the two of you, sit down, dinner is ready. She called for her other children to come to the table to eat as well, and soon Esther began to fill up all their plates. On one side of the table Rebekah, Nik, Elijah and Kol all sat together, on the other side of the table Mikael, Esther, Finn and Henrik all sat down and began to silently eat. The moon was rising up high in the sky and before long the sounds of wolf cries could be heard all around them, causing them to eat cautiously as Esther sighed. It was nothing new to them, the sound of wolves lifting their voices up to the moon in a howl. The family all knew that being outside after dark on a full moon was dangerous, it was when the wolves came out to hunt and Esther wanting to keep her family safe forbid her children to go out after dark. However, Nik always felt an unnatural pull to the moon and liked to be outside to watch the men turn into wolves. Esther had not known about this, or she would have placed a spell on their hut to keep him inside. The pull that he felt though was due to the side of Nik that his mother had repressed with magic, for he to was a man that could change his skin only he hadn't known it or done it before. Thanks to his mothers ritual at the time if his birth, she wanted to keep his parentage a secret and Mikael was willing to raise and call another man's child his own so that was how they lived. Henrik had become aware of Nik sneaking out on the nights of the full moon, and begged him to take him along. He wanted to see the wolf men as well, Nik had refused him time and time again, telling him that if their mother found out or anything happened to him it would kill Esther. Henrik did not want to hear that though and continued to beg Nik to go. Finally one night, Nik allowed Henrik to join him and the two had snuck out on the nights the moon was full ever since. So when the wolves started doing their night calls to the moon, the two siblings looked at each other with a knowing look. Henrik couldn't contain his excited smile, and Nik winked secretively at his little brother catching Rebekah's eye and curiosity. Once the meal was over and they were all excused the children split off and went to their room. Nik and Henrik were busy whispering to each other as Rebekah approached and sat beside them. Okay I know you two are up to something, and I want to know what it is and I want in. Nik shook his head firmly, Absolutely not, it's too dangerous and I'm already having to look after Henrik. That comment angered Rebekah causing her to stand and place her hands on her hips as she frowned. Okay then, I'll just let mother know that you two are planning something you shouldn't. Henrik groaned and reached for Rebekah's hand, Please Bekah, don't ruin this for us, it's the only fun we can really have. He looked at Nik and shrugged, What if we did let her come? Nik narrowed his eyes and then sighed, giving in because he knew his sister could take care of herself just as well, for he seen her with a sword, though their father would not approve. Fine. That night the three of them snuck out to watch the men from their village turn into wolves as they hid out of sight behind the bushes and trees. It was a violent scary thing to watch and yet Nik felt compelled and interested in that race of beings. As Rebekah watched for the first time, she winced and hid her eyes in her brothers arm to shield them from the transformation. Why do you both come out here to watch this! It's horrible, they are in so much pain. It's heartbreaking. Nik laughed and wrapped an arm around her to help her feel protected. Little sister, you have nothing to worry about, those men enjoy becoming the beast. Look at how they cry to the moon and sniff around like dogs, they are hunting and they enjoy it and by morning they will turn back into their true selfs.
