Descend Deeper

Sunflower

Can you lie next to her and give her your heart, your heart?

It was strange, being in another's body. Moving their limbs as if their they were your own. Speaking and expecting your voice to tumble out from your lips but the voice isn't yours, and you can't stand it. It is irritating and troublesome. To not be comforted by the feeling of your own skin and the power behind your own build. I am stuck in Lockwood's body until the witch could heal mine own. At first, I had thrown a mental hissy fit, but considering that the witch had save my life…I let this little minor hiccup pass. The upside of being trapped in the Lockwood boy's body was the ever beautiful, strong, and passionate Caroline Forbes.

Caroline Forbes. The same girl I had been obsessing over and the very same girl that I can't seem to snare. Katerina had once said I was "charming," and it was nowadays that I believed that my charm was no longer working.

I had tried the route that had always worked with me in the past: the charming benefactor with gifts. Denied.

And then I pulled out the "the honestly interested bloke with some issues." Denied.

And now, I am back to square one… in another's body. I have naught a clue how to win over Caroline Forbes affections. It has been a torturous last couple of days. She had been iridescent with happiness when she had first laid eyes on me (unfortunately in Tyler's body) and hasn't left my side since. Most of our time we have spent with the others and ever since that passionate kiss, I find myself longing for more. All I wish to do is to run my hands over her skin and to bury my nose into her golden locks. This way, when she finally tires of me- I have a lifetime of light to reminisce.

She looks so beautiful, sitting beside me in the sun. It was her idea to come to the river side and spend some "alone time." The last couple of days have been chaotic. With their entire group looking for me and what not. Fortunately, the little witch has kept up the deception of not knowing where exactly where I was. Jokes on you, I am right under your noses.

"Tyler, what are you thinking about?" Caroline softly questioned, breaking the silence.

"Niklaus," I answer shortly, "I wonder where he is."

"O' Tyler," Caroline sighs, "You can't worry about Klaus. He doesn't want to be found and so he won't be found. We have to be confidant in the fact that he's safe."

Acting like Tyler Lockwood is more complicated than what I first thought when the little witch and I concocted this plan. Tyler Lockwood has the emotional range of a teaspoon. He volleys back in between hotheaded and horny. And so my reply little belies that emotional range when I blurt it out, "You want Klaus safe? Do you have the hots for him or something?"

"Tyler!" she exclaims, her blue eyes widening with shock and mouth falling open, "We have been through this before! I don't have feelings for Klaus! He told me that he fancied me, that is all! He's the originator of our entire bloodline. Of course I want him safe! Why are you being so jealous?"

Putting on a pouting act, "I just don't like it Caroline. It just doesn't seem right. Him liking you and all."

"Well, you have to get over it," Caroline retorts crossing her arms underneath her bikini top. The valley of her breasts swell and arousal clouds my brain.

Kissing her neck softly, I revel in the smell of her skin. She smells of lemon and wildflowers. She flinches away from me, a quick grimace crossing over her face. Giving me a weak smile she kisses me slightly on the lips. I close my eyes and settle into the kiss. It is a sweet and chaste.

"I promise to get over it," I dutifully murmur over his rose tinted lips.

"Good," she replies, "Let's go swimming."

And like a sunflower, I follow my sun.
