Chapter Two
The glare from Elijah Mikaelson and look of betrayal from Hayley Marshall was the cause of Caroline's smirk as she moved her hand through Niklaus' hair whilst they stood in each other's embrace in the foyer of the home.
"Brother, what is Miss Forbes doing here?" Elijah quizzed his brother with the intent of finding out why Caroline was here when he had already impregnated Hayley. This not only angered Elijah to see how careless he thought Klaus was but infuriated him because he believed he that Klaus would finally change for the better with Hayley and their child.
Hayley however, her face formed one of shock and disappointment. Did Niklaus Mikaelson really not care for her? Did he really only care for Caroline? For these past few weeks an idea formed in what little brain she had that the original hybrid genuinely cared for her...
Rebekah stood in awe finally content with her ways of helping Niklaus' love. She was the only one to understand Nik's distaste for the pregnancy and needed some form of happiness.
Niklaus replied after thinking for a moment to his elder brother's question. "I do not know why she is here." He smiled down at Caroline and realised that he too needs her.
She was his light, he was her darkness. They were the perfect opposites. Caroline was the sun. Full of joy and burns bright for everyone to see. Niklaus was space. Deep and dark until the sun brightens the area and fills the darkness with her warmth.
With the reply that Niklaus gave Elijah, Caroline looked up at Nik's rugged features and whispered. "I came to accept your offer." Her fingers played with the fabric of his shirt whilst speaking. "I want you to show me what the world can hold; I want to see more than just Mystic Falls."
With this Hayley practically growled and stomped up the stairs. Tears formed in her brown eyes as she looked around the room she hid in to find some release.
Of course, Elijah had to try to be the noble one and followed the mutt upstairs. Upon seeing her melancholy face, his anger towards Caroline deepened. Why would anyone do this to someone that is pregnant? Was the thought that found its way into Elijah's brain...
