Beautifully Chaotic

Isadora POV:

The leaves crunch and turn to dust beneath my feet as I continue my venture north. Stumbling over a branch, I curse as the sun starts to set. He will find me soon, no matter the head start I have, I must keep going…

Keep going. God feet please don't fail me now, keep going. I scream in my head as my calves burn

I continue to stumble around the forest, trying to find shelter before nightfall or before my knees give out, whichever happens first. My eyes light up as I see lights. It seems to be some kind of town just outside of the tree line.

As I break the tree line I fall to my knees in tears at the sight of civilization. I need to keep going, I know I do, I need to continue going until I find somewhere safe. However as my legs burn and my heart thumps in my chest accentuating my labored breathing I decide that a rest might be the smartest decision. I won’t stop for long, I'll just get some rest and then I'll keep going. Walking down the street designated as Main Street , I search for somewhere I can sleep without paying.

I approach a small secluded park that had a gazebo off to the side, I guess that'll have to do. Once I am situated on the bench I slowly drift off, gripping onto the oversized jacket I took from my brother when I left for some warmth. I am still on edge but for the first time in a long time my eyes close and I do not dread waking up the next morning.

Kane POV:

“I’m going to the club, don't wait up,” I growl lowly to Klaus as I walk out of the office and make my way to the garage. I climb onto my Kawasaki Ninja H2R and pull off. As I ride down the street I let my mind file through the countless things on my mind.

I pull up to the club in what feels like a few minutes when in reality it was closer to an hour drive. As I walk to the front, the bouncer moves to the side, “Mr. Clemonte,” he shakily bowed his head. At least he is smart enough to be afraid. I walk inside and I am immediately hit by the scent of alcohol and sweat. I make my way upstairs to the office so I can complete my work for the evening. Frankly, I'd much rather be doing anything else right now but it must be done. I sit at my desk that is situated to the right side of the office, Kristopher’s desk directly across from mine on the left side of the office, Klaus’s desk sitting directly in the center. I pull out the stack of papers that have been waiting for me to complete them for 3 days and sigh. As I pour a glass of scotch I grumble to myself “This is gonna take forever…”

I glance at the clock on the wall only to discover it is now two in the morning and I am finally done with all of this god awful paperwork so I can actually go home. I walk down to the bar, attempting to make it out of the door without having to interact with anyone. Alas, luck is never on my side. As I step outside I feel two manicured hands snake their way around my chest, I stiffen and turn around to find the most annoying woman on the planet.

“What do you want Sharon?” I gruffly ask, too tired to try and be polite. She looked taken back by my tone but didn't let it deter her as she continued to make a fool out of herself.

“I miss you baby,” she whines in my ear as she bats her fake eyelashes in my face.

“And that's my problem how, exactly?” I say, pulling her claws off of me and trying to make my way to the exit “Look Sharon, I really just want to go home so leave me alone,” I say as politely as possible.

“But baby, we were so good together,” She pouts, sounding like a whining toddler who didn't get what they wanted.

“Sharon.” I growl out as I mount my bike, “I only put up with you for the pussy and frankly, no pussy is worth the amount of annoying that comes out of your mouth,” I snap at her, no longer caring about being polite. She stumbled backwards as if my words had physically struck her. I started my bike and raced off before she could respond. God I don't want to be rude but take a fucking hint.

I take a shortcut to get home through the park my mom owns, the “Clemontes Children's Park” . It is her pride and joy and she works very hard to keep it a safe space for children. As I am riding past the park I notice a form sleeping under the gazebo and immediately pull over. My mothers park is no place for the homeless, it is a fun area for children and should be used as such. As I hop off my bike and stomp over to the gazebo, I stumble to a stop once I am closer realizing that the object of my anger is a woman, a very small, very beautiful woman. My mind starts racing with possibilities as I cautiously approach her.

Isadora’s POV:

Gasping for air, I wake up to the sound of angry footsteps approaching, I start to panic when I realize how dark it is. Oh god, did they lock me in the closet again? What did I do? Why?-

My panic filled thoughts are cut short by a gruff, confused voice.

“Excuse me, are you alright?,” the voice asks once again. I frantically look around before realizing that I am not there anymore, they can't hurt me. I now remember falling asleep on the bench. I look up and come face to face with the most attractive man I’ve ever met, the world falls apart around me as I stare into his beautiful baby blue eyes and take in every inch of him, from his eyes, to his sharp jaw and dark hair, looking up at him from the bench I would guess he was 6’3’ maybe taller. It takes me a moment to realize that I've gotten lost in my thoughts. I blush looking down when he asks if I'm alright once again. I look up at him and try to decide how to respond.

“Well… I think so? I was just trying to sleep for a little while before I got back on the road. Am I not supposed to be here? I can leave if I need to, I was just trying to rest,” I responded frantically towards the end, deciding it was the most diplomatic response I could muster. I don't want to trouble this man with my issues, please don't ask me to elaborate, I beg silently.

He looks at me for a moment, almost analyzing me, before he speaks again, “You aren't technically supposed to sleep here but its alright. What I am wondering right now is why you are on a bench in the park instead of a bed in one of the many hotels in this city? Also, what is your name?” His tone was serious but also had this playful side to it. Why did you have to ask me that? Of all the questions, why that?

“Well, I am Isadora, or Izzy, and, um, you see… I don't have money or umm anything really. So I'm just trying to survive, for now. But I am fine and uh yea so I can leave” I spoke timidly, chewing on my thumb nail.

“You can’t stay out here, that's for sure but if you have nowhere to go, I don't want to send you away… Why don't you come with me Izzy? Get some food and a good night's rest and then we can discuss further in the morning?” He spoke almost as if negotiating terms in a business meeting, I noticed. Pondering over the offer, I wonder what I have to lose by doing this.

“You aren't gonna kidnap me or something… right?” I asked playfully but I truly wanted an answer and I think he could tell I was apprehensive.

“No,” he laughed. “I am not going to kidnap you, I just want to help. If you chose to come we would go back to my house, you’d meet everyone, eat, shower if you want, and sleep. Then, In the morning, we can discuss where you are trying to go and if we can help,” he explained to me, almost as if trying to convince a toddler.

“ Okay” I say before his words catch up to me “Wait, Wait, who is ‘we’, who all would I meet?” I questioned, a new sense of panic filling me, I am not good with people.

He gives me a sinfully beautiful smile and says “Well darlin’, we got a full house. There are my brothers Klaus and Kristopher, my mom Katrina, and my dad Kai. we all have ‘K’ names because dad wanted to keep the theme,” he laughed while explaining. Well that doesn't sound too bad, maybe I could go for just once night…

“Okay… Ill go, because I'm cold and hungry but please don't kill me or anything,” I giggle as I start standing up.

“Wasn't planning on it sweetheart,” he chuckles darkly and the term of endearment makes my face flush deep red. All of a sudden he curses under his breath.

“Everything okay?” I ask timidly. “Huh? Oh um yeah I just remembered that I Rode here on my motorcycle so we have to take that back to the house, is that okay?” He asks looking into my eyes.

“Um.. yea that's. That's fine.” the words shook so much as they left my mouth, i wouldn't even believe me. As we are walking I try to prepare myself for the ride and awaits me after. Once we approach the motorcycle, I go to ask for help on and it becomes abundantly clear that I forgot one very important question when we met. I stop dead in my tracks and look at him with wide eyes. I can see the moment he starts to panic.

“What?” He asks frantically. “Oh my gosh.” I state. “What? What? Is everything okay?” he asks, his voice going higher in pinch and his breathing becoming shallow as he looks around frantically.

I look him in the eyes and face the truth… I am a dumbass.

“Um… what- what's your name?”
