CHAPTER 7

The following morning flew by and let's just say I don't think I was fully prepared for it... I had spent the remainder of the morning after my conversation with Friedrich and Maria cleaning. I was in the middle of cooking breakfast when a sleepy looking Friedrich and Kurt materialized in the kitchen.

"Good Morning." I said whilst taking a sip of my coffee they sat at the breakfast bar where I sat last night. All I got was a groan in response from Kurt and smile from Friedrich.

"You cooked us breakfast?" Friedrich asked with the king of smiles plastered on his face and as I nodded and laughed slightly at Kurt who lifted his head up so quickly I thought I was gonna get whiplash.

"Food?" I lifted a plate in front of him and proceeded to put bacon, sausage, french toast and eggs on it with beans and bagels in which he moaned and looked at me.

"Please will you marry me?" I laughed at this young boy practically inhaling my food.

"I am pretty sure that is illegal..." Captain Von Trapp and the Baroness walked in and smiled at me a warm smile and considering the nature of my conversation with Maria last night I am guessing that is a miracle in an of itself. I was half expecting disapproving glares of hatred aimed at my direction.

Shortly after that all of the Von Trapp children slowly trickled into the kitchen and sat down at the breakfast table...well those who fit anyway. I had eight chairs around the table and four around the breakfast bar where Friedrich and Kurt had been sitting so Leisl and Brigitta came over to sit with their brothers and I dished out the food as Maria came to help me. It must at least be eatable because all of the boys asked for Seconds and I was kind of proud of myself.

"So I think it's time to get a few things sorted...don't you think Captain?" The distinguished mans head flew up and looked at me rather funny.

"Things like what?" A doorbell brought me out of my reverie and then I realized it must be Klaus he is the only one that it could be. "Excuse me just a moment..." As I left them the murmur of conversation coming from the kitchen trailed away as I opened the door.

"Charlotte darling!?" He wrapped me in a hug and I couldn't help but notice he looked rather weird. Klaus has been my documents guy for 15 years now and his father before that and his father before that. I think I have been at the mercy of six generations of Woods men. Klaus Woods was one of the good ones.

"Klaus you look tired..." I say as he takes my arm and walked with me toward the kitchen. He nodded ever so slightly but smiled a soft smile.

"Life gets a little bit weary after a few years." I laugh at him and smile before stopping and hugging him again.

"Try living a few centuries..." He nodded in agreement and we walked back into the kitchen where everyone was sitting talking away and chatting away with one another but everything came to a halt when I walked back into the room.

"Everyone this is Klaus he is a very good friend of mine and his family has been doing my documents for years. He is going to be sorting everyone out with documents like passports, driving licenses, birth certificates etcetera. So after breakfast we will go into the living room and get details and photographs and things so eat up." Kurt and Friedrich stood up along with Leisl and began to walk with me.

"We are all finished breakfast Charlotte." Every time he says my name I get shivers run down my spine and then show them to the living room and leave them with Klaus not before sharing a small smile and wave from Friedrich. Dude I am in such major trouble here!

As I walked back upstairs to shower and change I couldn't help but let my thoughts wander to Alexander...he was the same age as Freidrich when I met him but he had stopped ageing at seventeen, the more I look at him the more it scares me the resemblance between the two and the more it makes my knees shake.

"Charlie...you ok...?" I heard Natalia knock on the bathroom door and I then realized how long I had actually been away for.

"Yeah I will be right out..." I could tell she wasn't convinced...because she pressed the issue and I am not sure what it is but she has a sixth sense about people.

"Are to sure? You have been in here for hours." It was then I realized the water was freezing and I had goosebumps all over my body.

"Yeah I will be right there..." As I heard her walk away I proceeded to turn off the shower and wrap a towel around me and semi towel dried my hair before unlocking the door and walking smack bang into a hard body and before I could fall I felt a strong pair of arms around my body pull me in close and of course it would have to be Freidrich.

"There are like seven other bathrooms in this house..." It was more of a statement that anything else but at the flush of his cheeks his eyes roamed all over my body and it was then I noticed I was only wearing a towel for coverage. I am guessing that back in his time and country women were an awful lot more modest.

"Umm...I am all...uh finished with Klaus I was just exploring a little...getting the ll...lay of the land..." His voice stuttering as he looked at me was so cute and when his eyes met mine I just melted.

"Oh ok cool..." He laughed and must have only realized that he still had his hands on my waist and instead of letting go this bold boy held on tighter to my hips and pulled me closer to him.

"What is this? What are these feeling I am having for you Charlotte? What on earth is going on here?" I honestly couldn't tell him because every time I look at him I get this strange feeling in my body and I just need him.

"I don't know..." I sheepishly looked away from him and down at my shoes and as I proceeded to do that he put his hand under my chin.

"Don't shy away from me...don't treat me like I'm not old enough to understand." I shook my head at him and allowed myself to move even closer to him.

"That's not what I am doing Freidrich...I don't know what this is anymore than you do but we can't ok...you get that I am much much older than you I am talking about thousands of years older than you." He pulled me closer and gently pressed his lips to mine before I could even react, of my own accord my hands went to the back of his head as we battled for dominance and i felt the door frame against my back...that's when i saw if in my head...every single kiss I had shared with Alex and every touch we had I was lost in the memories and his hands on my body and then I remembered how old he is and the fact that I was in a towel and reluctantly broke away.

"Freidrich..." I breathed out mostly because I knew I wouldn't be able to say anything else to him...my skin was flushed and every part of my fire was on fire with electricity.

"What was that? Was that the future?" I smiled and pressed my head against his chest and he wrapped his arms around me. "What was that I saw in my head?" I broke away from him, how in the world?

"You saw it too?" He looked at me in surprise and then I walked up into my room and he followed me...much to my surprise I let him follow me.

"I thought it was you showing me that...wasn't it?" I shook my head and went to my walk in closet and threw on a pair of blue skinny jeans and a black Nirvana tank top and flats before walking over to him and held on to his hand.

"No...what you saw was my past...before I was banished Alexander was my lover...and you are his doppelganger." He stood up but didn't let go of my hand, instead he was so confused I could see it in his face.

"You are telling me none of this is real? Are you only having these feelings because I look like your old boyfriend?" I shook my head at him and allowed my lips to press against his again and got lost in his hands and lips...again I feel the need for repetition here, I am majorly screwed.
