Klasma: Cat and Mouse

Klasma: Cat and Mouse

// Aren't they? This is just me musing about these two. :)

They played a game of cat and mouse. The cursed witch and the hybrid. Fate had them cross paths several times. Each and every one of these encounters was different. The first one was made of blood and tears for Klaus did slaughter her family. The second one was made with joy and warmth for they got to know each other, centuries later. She came to him with a different mindset. She wanted to give him a chance and see him for who he really was. It probably had something to do with experimenting some of that immortality. It changed her perspective on him and on his behavior centuries ago. That encounter helped them get close to each other but more importantly, it helped her realize just how much touch-deprived she had been. It helped Mary realize just how much she enjoyed his company and how devastated she would be when he would leave. 

And he did leave. Typical Klaus behavior. He was bound to come back to Mystic Falls and they said goodbyes. The first of perhaps many, but one that wasn't bitter as they usually always were. It hurt to watch him leave. The cursed witch couldn't even lie to herself at this point, she wanted the hybrid to return. She found herself thinking about him, about his smile, and about his chuckle. She wanted to talk to him, trade memories of the centuries they went through and the follies they experienced back then. He taught her a lot, in such a short amount of time spent with her, he taught her a lot about painting. She taught him something or two about singing since it was something she excelled at. the witch found herself thinking about their fingers entwined, and the wine they both shared at his porch, late at night. Mary was craving his company and the solitude she felt because he was absent was now impossible to ignore. 

They played a game of cat and mouse. She knew that they would meet again and perhaps, this third meeting would be different and positive. Could things really ever be positive? Could they be when she was always at risk of being discovered? Could they be when she could be found by literally any other supernatural creature? Could their reunion be happy, when he probably wouldn't be done being hunted down by enemies? This life she wanted with him, this life she was dreaming of might be the hardest life she's ever had. To her eyes, it wasn't as bad as the life she had before. What was worse than solitude and pain? What was worse, eh? Certainly not a life with Klaus. what did that mean anyway? A life with him? Life between two immortals? What did that mean?
