Tears prickle from my eyes as I begin to look over Paris from the Eiffel Tower. I have always dreamed of coming to Paris. But I have never been able to until now. Paris looks beautiful from up above like this. Raphael grabs my hand, interlocking our fingers. This spark runs along my whole body lately. And it is always with Raphael. His brown eyes lock with mine, love and admiration flowing through them.

"It's beautiful isn't it?"

I nod my slowly "It is everything I dreamed it to be. The awful smell, the tourists, the architecture."

Our next stop is The Notre Dame which I'm ecstatic about. Since a child, I have been drawing it. Whether it is oil pastel, pencil or acrylics.

We're walking along the streets, rain falling on our heads but we seize to care. "Raphael?" I ask.

He glances down at me with curious eyes "yes?"

"how did you become a vampire?" He frowns.

"I was saving a girl from being bit and I was bit. The transition was horrible and the one who turned me felt awfully horrible about it. I said it was okay. This vampire named Victor raised me and eventually left when he felt I had grown into a proper vampire. The sad part is, I have watched each of my family members die without knowing what happened to me. My little sister Rosa is still alive, I visit her quite a lot." I wipe the tear off his face and grab his face lightly. "I am so sorry Raphael." He lets his tears fall onto my hand, "I love you Mi Amor."

"I love you Raphael Santiago"

The Notre Dame is sitting perfectly behind Raphael, it looks gorgeous. Raphael grabs my hands and sits us down on the bench, looking over the Seine river.

"Magnus has been there for me since he found me feeding on innocent mundane's. He is like a father figure and he once told me that all I need is love. He said that love will allow me to feel happy again, and it has thanks to you Olivia Sterling."

"Raphael."

"wait, I have something important to tell you. So, in the down world, a few people have what is called a mate. A person cannot choose who their mate will be. The only way you can tell if someone is your mate, is if the two people erupts into sparks when around each other."

Oh shit, is that the sparks I feel now? Are we mates? I felt the spark the second he held me on that bridge, I thought it was nerves or arousal, but no. It was the mates spark?

"Okay, lets go see Notre Dame" says Raphael as he runs away. Why is he running.

I sprint after him, running around the tourists. He is such a child. "RAF"

He turns around and runs full force into me, slamming me to the ground. I jump up quickly, wiping my bum and jeans. "Raf, that was embarrassing, people are looking and laughing oh goddd."

"Oh boo hoo. I'll show them my fangs and then we'll see who'll laugh then"

He grabs my hand, and we head inside. Oh my fucking god. It is better than all the pictures and paintings in which I have seen.

We walk around, looking at each window, and each statue. I love it.

We are close to the alter, when all of a sudden music begins playing from the organ. I thought it was mass starting so I go to sit down on the seat but then I see Raphael standing there with a ring. He bends down on one knee, I gasp. What is happening?

"Olivia Luna Sterling, you are the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. You woke me up from my depression and thought me how to love life again and I want to spend the rest of my life with you because I love you so much. Will you Olivia Sterling accept my asking for you to be my mate?"

I smile and wipe the tears from my eyes "yes,Raphael Santiago."

Everyone around us starts to clap and cheer, we laugh and kiss. He kisses me deeply, when suddenly the church is silent, no voices, no organ. Raphael stiffens as he breaks out of the kiss. We turn around to see bodies laying everything, both children and adults. I gasp with a cry, Raphael pushes me behind him, I look from behind Raphael to see another vampire with musty blonde hair. " Hello Darling, I'm Klaus Mikaelson."
