The accent is supposed to be Cajun, like Gambit in the X-Men comics, I don't know if I like the phonetics, but I hope you like the chapter!
They walked in Klaus not far behind and the woman behind the counter looked up as the door chimed.
"Hello der, what can I do for ya?" She asked with a cajun draw. Enzo smiled and Caroline could just tell he was going to be a dick.
"I'm lookin for an artifact gorgeous... this one." His eyes flicked to Caroline when he said it, she rolled her eyes letting him show her the etching.
"Niklaus, you are nod welcome here!" She hissed without so much as looking at the picture. He flashed over to her snatching the image.
"Niya give her what she needs or I'll snap your neck!" He growled, she looked down at the picture and laughed despite Klaus being in her face.
"Dat must be summoned from de under world, kill me and you'll never find it. If you want it you'll release Marida!" She ground out, Klaus grabbed her by the neck choking the life out of her.
"Klaus!" She yelled grabbing him and throwing him back, he growled meeting her eye.
"I will never release Marida, she tried to kill my child!" He hissed, Caroline deflated looking up at him desperately her hands still on his arms.
"Please Klaus, without it Bonnie's stuck in a crazy pocket hell forever." She pleaded, Enzo watched while she distracted Klaus moving to stand beside Miya.
"Where is she?" He typed out on his phone, she took it and pulled up a map circling where they were keeping her, Enzo nodded and left.
"She will kill Hope, I'd sooner kill her, I have other witches you don't need her!" Klaus countered, Caroline shook her head.
"It's held in the underworld by one of her ancestors, it has to be summoned by one of her bloodline." She explained, Klaus shook his head, he wanted to help her, but he couldn't do that.
"Caroline... I can't." He said feeling guilty and deflated, she shook her head.
"I know, because I was never the most important thing to you, or Tyler, or Matt, or Damon, or anyone. My God if you had just left me alone she wouldn't even know we knew you, and this would have gone fine. So here we are again, with you messing up, and me getting hurt. Come on Enzo let's just go." She yelled, he cringed, but then they both realized Enzo was gone.
"Where is Enzo?" She asked, Niya smiled at her like she knew something.
"He jusd lefd." She said with a shrug, ugh, Caroline already wanted to kill this woman.
"He probably went back to the stupid hotel." Caroline lied knowing he didn't have anywhere to go, so he was either at Klaus' rescuing some witch he didn't know, or he'd just gotten board and wandered off.
"Let's go make sure." Klaus offered, worried that he would have to kill Caroline's friend.
Caroline lead him around as long as she could before ending up back at the car.
"Caroline, you're beautiful, but if your friend liberated my prisoner I'll kill him, so are done stalling me?" He asked, Caroline sighed about to admit it when she saw Enzo sauntering up.
"Whee the hell have you been?" She asked when she saw him, he held up the artifact.
"Getting this so we can get out a this town gorgeous." He told her with a grin, Caroline went wide eyed, he'd actually done it. He was favoring one side, and had dried blood on the holes in his shirt, but he had it. She ran over and threw her arms around him.
"Oh my God thank you Enzo!" She gasped, he smiled wrapping his arms around her and burrieing his face in her golden tresses.
"Any time goldielocks." He whispered, she smiled againt the hollow of his neck, she fit so well against him, she almost didn't want to let him go. She sighed backing away from him.
"Thank you. Let's go home." She said again her hands still on his arms and giving them a gentle squease before relesaing him.
"What did you do!?" Klaus yelled grapping Enzo and throwing him into a wall. She heard his rips break as he slumped to the ground.
"Klaus stop!" Caroline yelled rushing in front of Enzo, he flashed her a smile ingoring the pain.
"You've killed her, she's an expert in curses, Hope will be dead by sun up!" He screamed sidestepping Caroline and grabbing him by the throat and crushing down. Enzo was still smiling as he slammed his fist right though Klaus' chest and grabbing his heart.
"Gah!" Klaus screamed his grip on Enzo's throat falling lax, Enzo pulled his hand away.
"Have you ever had someone dig their fingers through your heart? It hurts, trust me. Now you're an origanal, so I don't know if ripping your heart out will kill you, but I know it'll hurt. Yes I took Marida, but I'm no fool, I turned her. No more magic if she's a vampire. I'm sorry I had to take it that far, but at least she can go home to her family, and you have no reason to hunt us down. Now leave unless of coarse you want to stick around and talk about Hayley and Camile, and all your other daliances mate!" He told him forcefully ripping his hand from his chest. Enzo hoped he listened, because he wasn't sure that was a trick he could repeat. Klaus fell to the ground looking between them before storming off without a word.
"Oh my God Enzo! Are you okay?" Caroline asked rushing to his side. He collapsed against her breathing hard now that Klaus was gone.
"Right as rain goldielocks." He told her, she practically drug him to the car. He sunk into his seat with reliefe and Caroline hurried to the other side.
"It sounded like he broke one of your ribs." She whispered reaching over to wipe blood from his cheek.
"Six actually, it's not the first time for that though." He told her leaning his seat back like it was no big deal. Caroline reached in back opening her cooler and grabbing a blood bag.
"Here, drink something." She told him holding it out, he cringed away from it.
"No thanks gorgeous." He turned it down, which irked Caroline, he needed to heal.
"What is your problem with bloodbags?" She asked a little more forcefully then she'd intended.
"I spent seventy years staring at them while I was drained, and drugged and cut open. They don't exactly wet my apitite." He told her dryly, she kept her eyes sheepishly on the road. Of coarse he wouldn't like them, that's why he bit people, how could she be so stupid?
"Fine, here! You're no good at keeping me awake for the drive if you're unconcious the whole way." Caroline told him holding her wrist out to him. He looked at it confused for a moment while she explained away the nice gesture. He took her had gently leaning to the side so she wouldn't have to stretch.
She looked over at him while he studied her to be sure if she'd meant it. When she only smiled he put his lips to her wrist for a kiss before sinking his fangs into her as delicately as he could. She moaned surprised at how good it felt, but before she could be embarassed he moaned too. She was like ambrosia, he'd never tasted anything so sweet, she squeased his hand trying to focus on the road. His other hand found it's way to her thigh.
He hardly realised he even did it, and she didn't stop him, as his fingers soothed absent paterns over her leg trailing fire in their wake. Her eyes started to drift closed and her foot lifted off the gas as his hand inched higher. He was lost in her, too far gone to notice them drifting to the other lane, until a horn blaring pulled them both out of it.
Caroline gasped pulling her hand back to swerve out of the way. Enzo noticed just how close his hand had gotten to her sex, but made no move to remove it. He just laid back rubbing her thigh with his thumb.
"Thanks love." He mumbled closing his eyes, after Caroline's heart stopped racing she realized Enzo was gently messaging her leg, and it felt great. She also notice the quirk in his lips every time an involuntary moan escaped her own.
"Fine, I get jelous when you flirt with other women are you happy now!" Caroline burst out, he opened his eyes a little confused at where that had come from, but happy that she'd admitted it.
"Then I'll stop." He swore, she blinked a few times a little shocked that it had worked.
"Really?" She hardly whispered the disbelieving question, he smiled closing his eyes again.
"You have my word." He told her his fingers brushing over the zipper of her too tight jeans. Her heart fluttered, and she got ready to slap his hand away, but it went back to the somewhat safer leg massage.
Caroline yawned from the passangers seat, half way they'd switched since he had mostly healed, and Caroline must have fallen asleep. She was leaning on Enzo's shoulder with his arms around her gently stroking her hair. She snuggled closer not wanting to move.
"You're home gorgeous." He whispered turning the car off, she groaned otherwise ignoring him. He chuckled flashing out of the car and over to her side. He opened her door and scooped her up into his arms like she weighed nothing at all.
"Mm, are you carrying me to bed?" She asked somewhat incoherently, she'd been up for almost twenty four hours before she'd traded with Enzo.
"Yes I am, no go back to sleep goldielocks." He whispered back pushing the door open with his foot. She snuggled into his chest.
"You're so sweet." She told him, he just chuckled dipping down to open her door. He wasn't surprised to find her dorm empty, Elena was probably off with Damon now that her memories were back.
"Ugh, no one's ever here, even when we save Bonnie she won't be here. She'll be off with Jeramy, and I still won't have anywhere to go." She was mumbling, and he couldn't tell if it was in her sleep or if she'd meant for him to hear, but he had.
"I'm here gorgeous." He promised laying her gently on her bed. He could have laid next to her, but he wasn't sure she would be okay with that, so instead he sat beside her bed and held her hand. She snuggled against his warm hand like a life line and didn'g stir again. Enzo fell asleep easily his cell had been much worse.
Caroline woke up feeling rested, and warm. She stired and realized she was holding someone's hand off the side of her bed. She sat up on her elbow looking over to see who it was and found Enzo on her floor asleep.
"Enzo?" She wasn't sure why he'd stayed, it was nice to wake up and have someone there though.
"Mm- Morning... you even wake up gorgeous." He said mostly to himself tucking a strand of her ruffled hair back into place. She groaned frantically soothing her hair down with her free hand.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, he held up the hand that she still had a hold of.
"You didn't want to wake up alone." He answered as if him staying was the only solution.
"Didn't you want to go home and you know sleep in your own bed?" She asked, he cocked an eyebrow at her getting to his feet.
"I haven't actually had time to get a home. Between trying to bring Damon back, and now Bonnie, and my only mate staying in Mysticfalls, I've just been using hotels." He told her, she was stunned, how could he not have found a house or at least an apartment.
"Well then you can stay here until you do, hotels are gross, and so not a home." She told him, he smirked stepping into her space as she stood up.
"Are you asking me to move in with you gorgeous?" He questionded with a wink, she rolled her eyes.
"Ugh, really? No, I was being nice. If you don't want to stay then go away." She told him, he softened holding her gaze close enough that if she leaned in she could have kissed him.
"And what what do I do when the infamous Bonnie Benette returns?" He asked, his voice a low rumble while his breath tickled her cheek.
"She wouldn't stay anyway, I haven't spent more then three nights here with both of them." She whispered, he reached out tucking back a strand of her hair before leaning closer.
"I supose I could be persuaded to stay." He breathed the words his lips nearly touching hers. She couldn't bare it anymore, she leaned in and kissed him. He groaned wrapping one arm around her waist while the other craddled her head against him.
She moaned tangling her fingers in his hair and nipping at his lower lip before soothing it with her hot wet tongue. He tasted like mint and burbon, and he felt like heaven with the hard plains of his body pressed against her. She tasted like strawberry honey lip balm, with a hint of something tart, maybe apples.
Whatever it was it had him hooked, she was all soft curves, and sexy moans. He leaned in deepening the kiss, but she moved her hand to his chest pushing him away weakly. He stopped none the less.
"Wait Enzo, I don't..." She started pauseing only to catch her breath, Enzo scowled stealing himself for rejection, which he was not good at.
"I don't wanna move too fast, I... I really wanna give this a shot, and every time I jump in head first I get hurt, so can... can we just take it, like really, really slow? Like training wheels slow." She pleaded, Enzo actually laughed he was so relieved.
"I'm in no hurry love, we've got an eternity after all." He answered leaning his head against hers. She smiled moving to hide her face in the crook of his neck.
"Good, because we're not dating, not until we've had an actual date that doesn't involve killing someone, or saveing someone from the dead." She told him, he chuckled rubbing her back lightly.
"Well that asking an aweful lot gorgeous." He teased, she giggled backing up to smack him in the chest.
"Shut up, now I need a shower so don't rifle through my things." She ordered, he smirked quirking his eyebrow at her.
"Is that an invitation?" He asked picking up her loofa with just his pointer and middle finger while she got her shower stuff together.
"No, ugh this is gonna be worse then living with Damon!" She groaned taking her loofa back and rushing towards the bathroom. Enzo watched her go and began almost imediatly rifeling through her things.
As predicted Elena hardly ever showed up, she was busy with Damon, and damage controle with Liam. Shockingly Enzo was actually an amazing roomate, he got coffee in the morning, and didn't seem to actually have any things. He only owned like two shirts.
"Hungry?" Enzo asked as he walked in holding a bag, and two cups of coffee.
"Mm, what is it?" She asked pulling her socks on, and grabbed the towel off the bed.
"Chocolate muffins." He told her tossing it at her, she caught it easily opening the bag.
"Ooh, my favorite." She said taking one out, he laughed bringing the coffee over.
"I remember." He told her holding her coffee out to her, that was after all why he'd gotten them. They were far too sweet for him.
"Thank you." She grinned pulling him down into a kiss, he set his coffee down blindly and dipped to one knee to be at her level. Their tongues clashed tasting of chocolate and coffee while Enzo's hands roamed over every inch Caroline allowed. Caroline dipped her hands under his shirt relishing the heat of his hard muscular back.
He leaned forward laying her back on her bed swinging one leg over her while his hands slipped down her sides. She moaned raking her nails down his back loving the way he touched her. He groaned leaning into her so she could feel exactly how up for this he was. As his fingers found her bare skin his phone rang.
"They'll call back." Enzo growled ignoring it when Caroline tried to pull away. She put her hand on his chest.
"It could be important." She told him, he groaned sinking back to let her up.
"You better be dieing mate!" Enzo snarled, Damon's laugh echoed from the phone.
"What's got you all wound up?" Damon asked, Enzo shook his head covering the phone.
"This clearly could have waited." He whispered to Caroline, who bit her lip to stifle a laugh.
"I was sort of in the middle of something Mate, did you need me?" He asked grabbing Caroline around the waist as she tried to walk away and pulling her onto his lap. She stifled a giggle clutching onto him.
"Just wanted to let you know they're bringing BonBon back tonight. Figured we could hit the bar before the water works start, Ric's coming too. Stefan opted out so he could try and patch things over with barbie, who you might even get a chance to hit on if you show." Damon told him, Caroline slapped her hand over her mouth as she failed not to laugh.
"Are you with someone?" Damon asked, Enzo looked up at her with a questioning stare, she shook her head.
"Just lunch, cute little co-ed named Carol, she's got a lovely clavical." Enzo teased nipping at her collar bone, Caroline tried not to smile as she smacked him.
"Well finish eating and meet us down at the bar." Damon told him, Enzo leaned over looking at the clock.
"It's hardly ten mate, why so early?" Enzo asked holding the phone away while she kissed his neck sucking on the tender flesh. He knew he'd have a mark, but he enjoyed it, he might even keep it from healing for a while.
"Ugh, Elena said something about needing more quantity time with Caroline, she already left." Damon told him while Enzo returned the favor by nipping at her neck and marking her pale skin.
"What!" Caroline gasped hopping off his lap in a state of panic.
"Sorry mate, I gotta go, the boyfriend just walked in. I'll be round in a bit." He said hanging up, Caroline grabbed his other shirt from over by bonnie's bed and stuffed it into her drawer.
"You have to go, oh my God I'm so glad you don't have any stuff. What do you even do with your old clothes?" She asked, he chuckled of coarse she would tell him to get out and then ask him a question.
"I just leave it where ever I get the new outfit. I'll see ya tonight gorgeous." He told her grabbing her hips and pulling her flush against him so he could kiss her. She melted into him with a little moan.
"You are way too good at that, out!" She told him slapping his ass, he laughed hartily as he left. Less then two minutes later Elena showed up.
"Do you even attend classes?" Caroline asked, Elena blushed looking sheepish.
"Yes, most of them, look I know I've been kind of off in Damon world, but..." She started, Caroline held her hands up to stop her closing the gap and lowering her hands onto Elena's shoulders.
"Elena, you don't have to explain, you're happy, I'm happy. And don't tell Damon I said this because I'll deny it, but I'm glad you two are back together. I'm firmly on team Damon now. You're just better together okay, and maybe I get the appeal of being someone's whole world." She mumbled the last part. Damon wasn't so different from Enzo, well Enzo was nicer and less of a pig, to her at least, but still they had some similarities.
"Wow, what changed your mind?" Elena asked, Caroline sighed unwilling to admit the real reason.
"Really, you were willing to go through drowning like a hundred times just to get the memory of him back, and as much as I'd love to write that of on insatiable ceriosity, that wasn't what it was. Even when you didn't know the real him you knew you had to get it back. If that's not true love what is?" She told her, Elena smiled going over to Caroline's dresser.
"Well good, because you're my best friend, and the Damon hate was really hard. No more bad memories, tonight Bonnie's coming back and today we're going to get drunk and go to the beach party. Maybe you can even hook up with some cute shirtless boy." Elena teased opening her drawer before looking over at her with this confused look that made Caroline realize she'd opened the drawer she'd hidden Enzo's shirt in.
"Isn't this Enzo's?" Elena asked, Caroline thought her head might explode. She didn't want to tell Elena about her and Enzo yet, or maybe ever. Having him all to herself was just too good. She got all the perks of a sexy, sweet, and often dangerous boyfriend without all the guilt and hassle from her friends.
"What, no! Well yes technically, he left it in my car after our stupid road trip to New Orleans. I forgot I even had it." Caroline lied, Elena eyed her suspiciously, Caroline Fobes did not forget things like that.
"Are you sleeping with Enzo?" She asked, both shocked and a little apalled, Enzo could be nice, but he'd killed a lot of people too. Not that she could talk Damon was far from inocent.
"What? No! God Elena, it's a shirt. He left it in my car, it's not like I have his boxers stuffed in there!" Caroline countered, this time it was mostly true. She wasn't actually sure what kind of under things Enzo wore if any, but Elena just laughed.
"You should get it back to him, he wares these kinds of shirts all the time, it's like damon and those rediculous v-neck varvados shirts." She teased dropping the shirt, Caroline laughed too, though more out of relief that the subject was dropped.
"That was the plan, come on let's go party." Caroline said with her best excited grin, though to be honest she would have rather spent the morning with Enzo, which was new and exciting.
Enzo was leaning on his pool cue drinking and being board while Ric took his turn, when his phone vibrated. Hanging out with them was a mundane kind of fun, but he didn't think it was worth interupting his morning activites so he could do it. He pulled out his phone discreatly finding a message from Caroline.
"Elena brought me to some stupid beach party, and she keeps introducing me to guys. I swear it's like she's my pimp. How many inexperianced frat jerks can I turn down before she figures out I'm not even a little interested?" He read, he smirked, but kept himself from laughing lest he draw Damon's attention.
"Damon's got us in a dingy bar drinking and playing pool, your's sounds more appealing from where I'm standing gorgeous." He told her via text, he got another while Damon was shooting.
"Well I did get to ware my new bikini." Was all it read, but attatched was a picture of Caroline in just a slip of purple fabric. He swallowed hard slipping his phone into his pocket to keep his dick in line.
"That's it mate, this bar has no sexy waitresses or drunk co-eds, what's a guy supposed to eat. I say we head down to one of those selatious collage parties. Last time I attended I got the pleasure of kill a vampire hunter." Enzo coaxed, Ric groaned holding both hands up.
"Oh no, I am not that teacher, the one who gets drunk with his his students and ends up getting fired for misconduct." Ric told him, his phone buzzing, he pulled it out with a boyish grin.
"Though maybe you two should go." Ric offered, Damon quirked a brow at him.
"Why is you witch doctor beckoning you?" Damon teased, Ric groaned at his antics.
"Yes if you must know, and if you insist on being a dick I might just go." Ric chided, Damon chuckled clapping Ric on the shoulder.
"Go on, I could use a snack." Damon told him, Enzo grinned glad that they'd be going so he could see that bikini in person.
"Right, or maybe Elena will be there." Alaric teased setting his cue down and grabbing his coat.
"Like you can talk." Damon called after him, Enzo rolled his eyes hurrying out after Ric.
"So are you gonna explain why that hasn't healed yet?" Damon asked flicking the mark Enzo had forgotten about on his neck.
"What?" He asked feigning inocents as he touched his neck struggling not to grin.
"Your snack gave you a hicky, what are you twelve? It's just strange it's not healing." Damon told him, Enzo shrugged, it was a pretty easy trick.
"Depressed healing is easy, and it keeps humans from getting suspicious mate, you should give it a go." Enzo skirted around the lie. Damon gave him a look, but didn't push it.
"Oh my God really, don't ever touch me again, infact never touch a woman like that without her permission ever again!" Caroline compelled one of the frat guys, Enzo couldn't stifle his laugh at her bikini backfire.
"Lose something gorgeous?" Enzo asked scooping up her disguarded top he asumed the frat boy had thrown. Caroline whirled around, and Damon veered off having no desire to be around topless barbie.
"Oh my God Enzo give me that!" Caroline gasped russing towards him. He held it up over his head with a wicked smirk.
"And why would I do that?" He asked while he held it away from her. She reached up with the hand that wasn't covering her clevage.
"Damnit Enzo, do you really want all these frat boys seeing my boobs?" She hissed, he chuckled leaning closer to her and making her blush.
"No, but I've been working hard to get you topless gorgeous, and I'm not quite ready to give that up." He whispered with a leer, she looked up at him desperately.
"Enzo... please!" She pleaded seriously, that was all it took to break his resolve. He dropped his hand slowly never breaking her gaze.
"As you wish." He breathed the words with reverence slipping the top into her waiting hand. She slid it on as discreetly as she could.
"Thank you, I'm glad you're here, even if you are an ass." She said poking him in the chest. He smirked covering her hand with his.
"You enjoy it gorgeous, I best find Damon before he figures out your big secret." He teased, she slapped his shoulder as he backed away.
"It's yours too ya know!" She hissed, he chuckled wishing he could stay.
"I beg to differ love, I could care less who knows." He told her truthfully, she stuck her tongue out at him watching him go. He laughed leaving her with a wink.
I always wondered if you could kill an original by blowing him to bitty bits or ripping his heart out, I mean it worked for other hybrids. What do you think?
