"We have to share a room, you okay with that?" his voice was deeper and huskier because he was sleepy but her heart raced not containing the fires that voice ilicited in her body.

"Am okay with that" he was tapping the wall with a pattern that matched that of her heart beats as she explored the room.

"Didn't your brother and sister sleep here why is there one room?" the room was big enough for two people plus the bed was big enough too.

"The house is adjustable, she has a way of manipulating it to how she wants it to be" he removed his coat and settled on the bed.

"When did you sleep last?" his energy was way too low that she couldn't help but worry.

"Two or three weeks ago am not sure" he was sleeping, fast. "Come here Aella" a sleepy order but she still adhered, taking off the fur coat she joined him but didn't sleep too close but his hand pulled her small body till her back was to his front.

Her reactions were naturally occurring. She was hot and heart hammering in her chest. A few kisses and when he touched her she flamed.

What was this?

His head on her neck, he was a goner. She was also sleep depraved from waking up early and the shocks her heart had experienced in one day.

KLAUS POV

He stared at the ceiling not so high above like the one back at home in his room. The ceiling he had looked at when he was younger for over fifteen years. His mother's memories were everywhere in the house, rooms, walls and even utensils.

Outside was even worse, her presence was everywhere. He didn't even want to step out there but eventually he would, in one way or the other.

Aella was sound asleep but she could wake up any minute now. It was dawn already and she had eaten nothing but Noona's muffins and tea. Her heart beats were slow and steady. She was facing him, her head was on his bicep.

He studied her pretty face with a small smile. That's what she made him do, smile like an idiot. By bringing her here he was sure she would learn alot, he already guessed she was tired of the classes.

Noona was the best at this, at least Aella could see the water fall. He took a whole year before he saw it. He spent his days back then reading books.

Karl always called him weird for reading but he never cared. Karl's powers were first to manifest, Enisa was best at playing tea cup parties with her dolls. She was the latest but she was very powerful, too powerful.

She groaned trying to sleep more but he couldn't allow it, she had to eat soon. He traced her hairline pushing back the stray hair on her face.

Her heart always had a mind of it's own, it was racing and her body was heating up.

"Aella, wake up" he whispered clse to her ear. Her heart skipped a beat, he reveled in the knowledge that he had such power over her body reactions.

"Hey?"

"Mmh" she hummed. Her eyes fluttered open and directly looked at his eyes. If he had a heart, it would beat faster but he didn't. All he knew was that there no other company and face she liked more than her's.

"Hi"

"Hi Princess" she beamed. Her fingers found his eyebrows.

"You have really cute pink lips" she said. She obviously wasn't awake.

"I told you to never call anything about me cute ever again or I'll show what more this cute lips can do to you" her eyes widened in surprised, she was now awake, then she looked at his lips again.

Her cheeks were the brightest shade of of pink and she didn't hide it. She understood him then looked at his lips for longer as if..

"Are you imagining it Aella?" his voice deepened with a naughty smile playing on his lips.

"No I-" embarrassment shaded her face and she turned away but he was quick to turn her to lie on her side and look at him.

"What were you thinking?"

"I um- wasn't thinking anything Klaus"

"Why do you lie Aella?" she sighed in defeat.

"Were you imagining it?" he asked again.

"Yeah" her voice was so small he almost missed it, "But maybe because am close to my- you know that time of the month"

He nodded in understanding but..

"Would you like that?" he just wanted to know what she liked there was nothing wrong in that. She slipped under his grip and walked to the bathroom, he placed his hands under his hands and watched her.

She nodded before dissapearing in the bathroom, he smiled shaking his head to push away all the fantasies trying to creep in his mind. He left the bed to give the privacy she needed.

๑๑๑

She shut the door and dragged out the longest sigh of her life. She was so annoyed with herself for her reaction. She had been so flustered and she still was.

She stripped off her dress and entered the hot bath. The house was truly magical, everything worked with control over its self.

She didn't want to rethink that conversation again. Though deep down she enjoyed it more than she wanted to admit.

Why did she even nod? So stupid, she scolded herself.

Once done she put on another of the castle's dresses and headed downstairs. Noona was talking with Klaus about something about her being lonely while they slept.

He didn't look so happy being scolded. She avoided eye contact with him and helped Noona set up the table.
