I do not own The Vampire Diaries
"You're nearly 1000 years old, move it," Mikael ordered.
Caroline barley managed to dodge the sword, but Mikael's words were irritating her. She dodged the sword again and rolled through, popping up. A sword came at her again, and reacting on instinct, Caroline disarmed the person and stabbed him through the stomach.
"Everyone stop!" Mikael said, approaching Caroline. "Did I teach you nothing?"
"Mikael," She began. He cut her off y hitting her across the face. It hurt, but she didn't move. She had dealt with this before and knew moving was a mistake.
"Keep your mouth shut. I said no blood, no vampire abilities, and you failed," He said. "If you can't do this with a sword, you'll just have to do without."
"How exactly do you want me to do this then?" Caroline asked, passing her sword over to him.
"Get them all down, but no blood, no vampire abilities," Mikael said, returning to his position, silently stalking around the room. "Continue."
Caroline looked around the males surrounding her. On a normal day, this would be problem, especially since they were all human, but Mikael was in a bad mood and decided to try and test her abilities or whatever. After 949 years of being alive and training with Mikael, he should know better.
Still, some days he liked to be a dick and force her to do stupid things, like today and having to fight a bunch of humans. One finally gained the courage to approach her, and all the others followed like baby lambs.
She grabbed the first ones sword and rammed it into his ribs, breaking them. The she grabbed two and slammed their heads together, not enough to make them bleed, but enough to knock them unconscious. The last one who was making a run for the exit, she ran and tackled him, turning him over and choking him until he lost consciousness from lack of oxygen.
She got off him and looked around at them, satisfied that they were all down and her work was hopefully over. She lost her smile once she saw Mikael's face. Obviously she was wrong, and she was far from being done.
"I said no blood, and you stabbed one. I took your sword away and said no vampire abilities, and you used them," Mikael said quietly.
Caroline slowly backed away from him, suddenly terrified. This happened plenty of times, he had hurt her plenty of times, but she still got terrified. When he was in a bad mood, anything could happen. Caroline had no idea how this man had 5 children, 6 if you counted Niklaus. She would never let a man so cruel and hurtful touch her, ever.
He was suddenly in her face and had a hand on her throat, and slammed her into the wall. "I thought I trained a warrior, I thought I trained you to be able to handle any situations."
"You did," Caroline shocked, grabbing his hand, but made no attempt to remove it, knowing that would be stupid.
"I don't want your excuses, and I don't want to be interrupted. Next time you refuse to follow orders, I'll force you to," He said, giving a final squeeze before dropping her.
She wheezed in air, but stayed press against the wall. "What's my punishment?" She asked quietly. There was always a punishment with him, and not to ask would be stupid.
"One of my sources says they've spotted one of my children in a downtown bar, and where one goes, they all go. My source will lead you there and tell you more about it," Mikael said, turning around and leaving her there.
"And if it's a dead end?" She asked.
"Don't be dumb," He said without stopping.
God, she wished she could be dumb. She wished she didn't know the answer, she wished he would once change his mind, but it was always the same. If they were no use to you, kill them. That was his solution to everything, and the only reason why she was still alive because she was useful to him.
She moved when he left and started cleaning the mess up. All the humans were compelled beforehand to forget everything they say, but Caroline had to handle the one she stabbed. He wasn't dead, so she fed him her blood. Mikael wouldn't approve, but oh well, he would never find out, and if he did she would be able to handle it. She tried not to kill people, mostly because she killed enough people n Mikael's name it could last her twenty lifetimes. It irritated Mikael, but eventually he got over it.
Yeah right, Mikael didn't get over anything, he held grudges. Which was why she helped him tack down his Children since the minute she was turned. The two of them travelled the world looking for them, and they never got closer.
Caroline didn't really get why Mikael was so hell bent on destroying them, he was one of them after all. The man she was feeding her blood shoved her away and scrambled up, making a run for the door. She rushed in front of him, stopping him.
"You're a monster," He shouted, bringing his hand up to punch her.
She caught it and grabbed the back of his neck, forcing him to look at her. "So I've been told," She sighed. "Now forget.
"So how long have you been working for Mikael?" the guy named Jason asked. He was the one that supposedly saw one of the Originals here.
"Smooth," Alex snorted.
"Both of you stop," Caroline said.
"Not my fault slick over here is trying to flirt with you," Alex said.
"We have a job to do," She reminded him. So far Caroline saw nothing and couldn't hear anything but Alex talking.
"I don't get why all the informants have to be guys. I just want a girl for once," Alex said.
"Alex, I will not warn you again, shut up or I will kill you," Caroline warned, lying through her teeth. She met Alex in the 1700s, and they've stuck by each other ever since. He was along for back up, just in case this was an ambush.
Alex muttered under his breath but still didn't say anything. They fell into an awkward silence which only lasted five minutes before Jason started talking.
"So, I have this think in an hour," He began.
"You're not going anywhere," Alex snapped, grabbing the back of his shirt and pulling him closer.
"Hey," Jason complained, but Caroline wasn't paying attention to them anymore.
"Both of you shut up, now!" Caroline hissed, eyes locked on the blonde that just walked in the bar. Caroline leaned forward, eyes locked on the blonde. She turned just enough for Caroline to see her face.
"That's her," Caroline muttered. "That's Rebekah."
"Well damn, not I can't kill you," Alex sighed, glaring at Jason.
:Is she the one you were talking about?" Caroline asked, grabbing Jason and pushing him forward.
"Yes, but usually there's another guy with her," Jason said.
"What does he look like?" Alex asked, moving forward.
"I don't know man, I think he's the hybrid," Jason said, trying to pull away from Caroline's grip.
"The hybrid?" Alex asked.
"Niklaus," Caroline muttered.
"I'll call Mikael," Alex said.
"Wait," Caroline ordered. She never understood why Mikael wanted them dead so much, and he never explained. Just gave her order after order, but maybe she would do better in hunting them down if she could see the evil in them that Mikael did, and right now was a perfect chance.
"Sorry about this Jason," Caroline said, snapping his neck.
"I wanted to do that," Alex whined.
"Kill him when he wakes up," Caroline said, shrugging out of her jacket.
"What are you doing?" Alex asked, watching her pull her shirt down, revealing a generous amount of cleavage.
"If we call Mikael, he will come in and mess everything up and she might get away. I'm going to distract her and keep her busy," Caroline said, fluffing her hair while telling the little white lie. Alex wouldn't understand what she was about to do, the only reason why he was working with Mikael was because she was, and that was all the reason he needed, but she had been doing this for over 900 years with no purpose, and that was about to change. "Call him when I give you the signal."
"And what's the signal?" Alex asked.
"When I start to kill everyone," Caroline said, and jumped off the rooftop.
Alex watched her cross the street and enter the bar, she was up to something, he didn't know what, but all he could do was sit back and watch.
Caroline stalked in the bar and immediately spotted the Original called Rebekah, the only female Original. Caroline took a seat at the bar only three seats away from her.
"What's your poison sweetheart?" The beefy bartender asked.
Caroline could smell the blood from his last meal on him. "B positive," She said, flashing him a smile.
He looked at her and she slightly flashed him her veins, and he smiled slowly at her. "Well sugar, look around, they're all over.
"I'm not a huge fan of sharing, and something tells me I'm not the first one looking for a bite to eat," Caroline said.
"Then I can help you with that," the blonde Original said at Caroline's elbow. Caroline thought she was listening on their conversation, and Caroline was happy she was.
She turned and met Rebekah's gaze, surprised at what she found. Rebekah's eyes were filled with kindness, something Caroline wasn't expecting.
"Im Rebekah," She said, holding a hand out to Caroline.
"Caroline."
"Well Caroline, take a look around and make your pick, I don't have all day," Rebekah said.
Caroline smiled, already liking the blonde, and already knowing she wouldn't be able to hand her over to Mikael.
"Shot! Shot! Shot!" Everyone yelled.
Not one to disappoint, Caroline took the shot with the skill of a 50 year old alcoholic rather than the 22 year old she was posing as. In real life, she was 948 year sold stuck in a 17 year old body. Most people would kill for that, but she learned all the hormones that came with it, wasn't worth it.
Cheers irrupted from the crowd and Rebekah fell into a fit of giggles. "How do you do that? I'm older then you?" She complained.
"I practice a lot," Caroline said, flashing her a smile. It disappeared when she noticed Alex storm in.
"Who's that?" Rebekah asked, following her gaze.
"A pain in my ass," Caroline muttered.
"We need to go," Alex said, stopping in front of the two blondes.
"Rebekah, meet my pain the ass brother," Caroline sighed.
"I've got a few of those," Rebekah said.
"I bet you do," Alex said, grabbing Caroline and pulling her to her feet.
"Looks like I'm leaving," Caroline said,"Bye Bekah."
"See you tomorrow?" Rebekah asked.
Caroline heard the hope in the Originals voice and couldn't help but say yes. "See you tomorrow," Caroline grinned.
Alex let out a small groan and pulled Caroline out of the bad. "What the hell are you doing?" Alex snarled.
"Screwing up epically," Caroline muttered.
He pulled her in the nearest ally and pushed her against the wall. "Do you want to die?" Alex snapped.
"I'm living, aren't I?" Caroline asked.
"Don't be an idiot, please," Alex sighed.
"I'd watch your tongue if I were you, I'm not completely drunk," Caroline said quietly.
She walked in that bar planning to witness the demons Mikael's children were, but instead she found a sweet caring girl who only wanted a fiend.
"What are we going to tell Mikael?" Alex finally asked.
"You're not going to tell him anything, I am. I'll just tell him it was a bad lead and I went for a drink. You killed Jason?"
"Yes, wasn't as satisfactory as I thought," Alex said.
"Never is," Caroline replied.
She said goodbye to Alex and slowly made her was to Mikael's house. She really shouldn't call it that, sure, he owned it, but never slept there, he only stopped by to talk to her, but there was no need to rush home. He would just punish her for drinking anyway.
He could punish her all he wanted, it wouldn't stop her from going out tomorrow and meet up with Rebekah. She needed to understand why Mikael was doing this, she needed to know all the pain and suffering she was going through but for a reason. But what would she do if she couldn't find a reason? What would she do if she found out that everything she's been through, everything she endured, was for nothing?
