For You, I Could Be Anything

There's No Other Way...

Monday

Katalina's POV -

I paced back and forth. I needed to get my dagger and necklace as soon as possible. I have an idea of what I can do, but I'm afraid of hurting Demetri's feelings. I mean, I feel like I am either way when I leave but....HA! Who do I think I am?! Assuming Demetri has some sort of feelings for me. But who cares right? I have to do everything and anything in order to get what I want. Klaus always taught me the best and knew what to do, why would he be wrong? I need confirmation first and I think I might know someone who can help me with that.

"I heard that you wanted to talk with me, Lady Katalina" Marcus said while looking up at me. I smiled, "Yes sir, I would like to talk to you about a certain matter, per se, do you have some time to spare?" I asked. He nodded slowly, "Let's head to my studio", he said while motioning with his hand towards the door. I walked with him and we then found ourselves in front of a door, obviously. He opened it and we went inside. Immediately when we entered, I was struck with amazement. The room was filled with many art pieces and materials. It reminded me of my brother's studio, although Marcus's gave more of an old aura. "Is this your art sir?" I asked him. He smiled a true smile, the first one I ever saw from him in fact. "Yes, they are" he replied. I smiled back, "Their exquisite". He looked at me then, "Are you into art?" he asked. I shook my head, "I do appreciate art a lot, but it's my brother whom who has a passion for art" I chuckled. He gave me another slow nod, but I could tell he was thinking about something.

"So what did you wish to discuss?" he asked while we took a seat. I coughed nervously, "Well, I was hoping we could actually talk about...Demetri" I said. He tilted his head, "What about Demetri exactly..?" he asked. I looked at him. He was acting as if he didn't know something. Since I was born I always focused on the actions and feelings of individuals, of course I would be able to see that Marcus was trying to play me. "What are Demetri's feelings towards me?", I went straight to the point because I knew Marcus would try to get something out of me. He laid back, "Well how do you think Demetri feels about you?" he said slowly again. I furrowed my eyebrows, "That's not an answer". "Well what do you want me to tell you?" he asked. "Sir, may you please stop answering my question with a question. I know that you know how Demetri feels towards me. Ever since the first day you knew.." I said. He looked towards one of his canvases, "What makes you think that?". I felt agitated. Why isn't he telling me something?! I just need to confirm my theory. I finally said what I've been trying to hold back, "Demetri, he loves me right?". He made eye contact with me then, "If you already knew the answer, why do you ask me then.." he continued. My heart was beating fast. So I was right then. A part of me hoped I would be wrong, but at the same time I felt that I would be devastated to hear that he didn't love me, and that thought horrified me.

"Wait, so you know already??" Jane asked me as I laid on her bed. "That Demetri loves me, yes" I said while blushing. She shrieked, "Finally, I've been telling Demetri to tell you since a long time ago and he finally did", she said while clapping her hands excitedly. "Jane, I still have a boyfriend you know" I told her while sitting up. She sighed, "I know I know, but still..". I chuckled, "No but's Jane. I have a boyfriend and I love him". She looked down, "I guess..." she muttered. "I know you really want Demetri and I to be together, but it can't happen" I looked down. "Katalina, I hope this doesn't come off as harsh, but you do know you're never going to actually...leave the castle right?? There's no point of thinking about him anymore, your place is here now" she said. I stood up, "I should leave. Demetri doesn't know I'm here and I don't want him getting mad at you. Bye Jane..", I walked out and headed back towards Demetri's room.

As I sat on the bed, I thought about everything that I would do. "There's no other way.." I tried convincing myself. I need to do this or else how will I get them back, how will I get back..? Demetri would be arriving soon, I need to get ready. I gave myself a pep talk and drank some water. I heard the turn of a doorknob then, its time.

He walked across the room towards me, "Hey, how was your day? I was thinking that we could-" he started. I placed my lips on Demetri's then. I'm sorry Nico...

Demetri's POV -

Is this real? Is she really kissing me? Is this how someone feels when they're kissing the person they love? If my heart could beat right now, I swear it would be beating so fast. I kissed her back immediately. I wrapped my arms around her waist, bringing her closer to me. I felt so warm right now and my lips felt tingly. We ended up falling onto the bed and I had to hold myself back, but she was making it really hard. She bit down lightly on my lower lip and the action ignited something in me. I opened my mouth a little and we both fought for dominance. I, of course, won. I could feel the heat in between our bodies as she pulled me closer. I heard her moan then and I was glad that I was the cause of that. I smiled in between the kiss. I felt euphoric. I don't even know how much time had gone by until she pulled back for air. We both panted slightly and our arms and legs were still tangled with each other. I moved a strand of hair from her face and she melted into my touch. She kissed me again and she said, "I love you Demetri". A smile was on my face then and I felt so happy. She then looked away shyly, "I'm sorry, I should have asked you if I could kiss you and you probably actually don't feel the same way-" she began, but I cut her off by kissing her. She kissed me back, "You never have to ask, you can kiss me whenever, wherever, and as many times as you want" I said while pulling back. She blushed then, "Oh, I love you too" I said. She looked at me, "You do?" she asked. I nodded happily, "Of course". We sat up and I hugged her tightly. "Katalina, will you be my girlfriend?" I asked with confidence. She gave me a kiss, "Yes". I immediately kissed her again. We both laughed as we fell down on the bed again. I cuddled against her, "Just so you know, I'm really clingy" I said. She chuckled as she ran her fingers through my hair, "I love clingy". I then looked up at her, "Don't forget I'm also the best tracker out there. So if you try to run away from me, just know that I'll always find you" I said playfully. She gave me a kiss on top of my head, "I know..". She then fell asleep in my embrace.
