a vampires diary chapter five

" Oh God!" she whispered as she shot up in bed clutching her throat as if someone had been strangling her and she was trying to catch her breath.
After a couple of minutes, KoKo looked out the window and noticed that the sun had set. So she crawled out of bed, stretched and yawned and then slowly made her way down the stairs.
Once at the foot of the stairs, KoKo slumped down on the bottom stair, automatically wishing that she had stayed in bed and gotten more sleep.
"Hey, KoKo.....whoa, you don't look so good. What happened?” Said a happy feminine voice from in front of her, but KoKo was too lazy to open her eyes, so she just talked to who ever it was in front of her.
"I had the weirdest dream last night....." she paused when she heard the person who was now beside her giggle, then recognized who it was she was talking to.
"Everybody has weird dreams every now and then...so what’s with the two hotties of the Spenser clan staying here with you, Persephone and Agnes anyways."
"I doubt that everybody has dreams where a murder takes place.....besides Claudius and Louis are helping us out for a little while." KoKo managed to open one of her eyes to look at Selene.
"Wait, a murder....explain right now."
"Screw you Selene....I don't have to tell you shit."
"I don't want you to tell me shit, but I do want you to tell me about that dream you had."
"But what if I were to say that it's absolutely none of your business, that I don't want to tell you about the dream that I had, and that I am trying to sleep so you should shut the fuck up before I make you."
"Fine, if you don't feel like telling me, fine, but you wont be getting any coffee." Selene said as she stood and walked into the living room.
"Coffee?" KoKo said, her eyes opening then she quickly stood up and sleepily walked into the living room.
"Coffee?" she said again to Persephone, who nodded to the corner where a cheap coffee pot was finishing up the last couple of drops. "Yeah coffee!!!Oh hey Claudius, hey Louis" she said to the two Spenser's sitting on the floor.
"Okay, so what are we gonna do?Oh yeah, KoKo weren't you gonna tell us about that dream that you had?" Selene said.
KoKo just looked at Claudius, then at the ground. "I'd rather not." she mumbled. Than sat down on the couch, and just stared down into her coffee...thinking about the dream she had. 'Remember that I will always love you'
'that's what he had said to Courtney' KoKo thought as she looked down at Claudius 'he probably still loves her.' with a sigh she downed the rest of her coffee.
"Hey KoKo, is every thing alright?" Persephone asked when she sat down next to he o the couch, causing Claudius and Louis to look up.
"Oh yeah...ummmm...I guess that I can tell you about that dream....." she looked Claudius in the eyes "But I, uhh, h-have to talk to Claudius about s-something in private. Is that okay?" she asked him hopefully.
"Sure."
At that both Claudius and KoKo stood and walked out of the room.
****************************************************************************************************
"So what did you want to talk to me about?" he asked when they were alone in the confines of her room.
"One second." she looked to the right side of the hallway and then to the left, after checking that the coast was clear KoKo closed the door and locked it. "Okay, you might want to sit down for this." he nodded and sat down on the bed beside her.
"What did you want to talk about."
KoKo just inhaled and exhaled deeply "I honestly don't know how to approach this subject....."
"Try" Claudius said in a soothing voice.
"Okay, ummmm, w-what was your w-wife’s name?" she asked, trying not to make eye contact with the man sitting with her on her bed.
"M-my wife's name." Kook nodded with small tears welling up in her eyes "Her name was Courtney...but why did you ask me that?"
"I-in the dream that I had when I fell asleep.I-i don't know if I should be talking about this if you don't feel comfortable with it." Claudius just moved closer to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. KoKo just looked at the hand and then she looked up into his eyes.
"Tell me anyway and I'll decide that for myself." KoKo nodded and shifted her body so that he wasn't touching her when she told him the dream, but they were still close.
Drawing a deep breath and started her story. " Well it started with her running thought the forest, she had just seen...Angela, I think her name was Angela...c-covered in b-blood, she was in her bassinet...a white one...Courtney had a flash back, it was of you before you left to help Louis with something, but she was to distracted with the memory of you holding you daughter for the last time that she didn't notice that whoever was chasing her had caught up and when she tripped over a rock and one of the guys sat on top of her while the other guy pressed a blade to he throat. When they saw torches in the distance they left her there to die. The guy who had the knife said that it was Raphael, my sire, and the rest of the clan."
"Are you sure that is what you saw and heard?” KoKo nodded, but she didn’t say anything. But before she knew it, Claudius’s arms were around her.
“Claudius, what are you doing?” she whispered, the tears in her eyes threatening to spill.
Pressing a light whisper of a kiss to her temple, Claudius just sat on the bed with KoKo for a few minutes, until he finally pulled away from her and smiled.
“Why did you do that?” she whispered.
“Because I felt like it…besides, you look like you needed comforting after what you saw…and after what you learned last night.” He said, lightly brushing the hair away from her face and pressing a kiss to her forehead.
“This feels really awkward, I mean… not only five hours ago we were enemies, and now we are acting as if we’re allies.”
“I don’t think that we are acting.” He just smiled, brushed his lips across her hair, cheek, then he covered her lips with his own.
“We should get downstairs.” KoKo whispered. So they both stood from their places on the bed and headed towards the door. “Hey Claudius.” She said when he reached for the door. When he looked at her, KoKo stood on her toes and brushed her lips against his.
When the both reluctantly pulled away from each other, Claudius pulled open the door and they both headed down the stairs to talk to Persephone and Louis.
