To those who were curious, Pure One does not referee to Caroline's purity. Its bee half a century, of course she's not a virgin. I know I said the Ball was goanna be this chapter but I changed my mind… Sorry
Klaus found it hard to distinguish the relationship between the two. He never saw his brother make any sexual move towards her and she clung to him like a lost puppy, always standing by his side. He watched them closely trying to found out there relationship.
Rebekah instantly liked the blond. (I've read a lot of fanfic were Bekah really hated Caroline so I decided to do the opposite and try something new) Although most the time Rebekah had to pry her away from her brother. Rebekah even found her actions odd. Usually Kol brought around strumpets but she was different. Almost like a little puppy that needed to be protected.
Elijah watched his brother silently. He and Rebekah were almost done with the preparations for the ball tonight. He was also curious of their relationship. Caroline was a beautiful woman and Kol wasn't just friends with beautiful woman. As he and Rebekah busied around the mansion directing caterers, decorators, and others who were setting up for the ball, he would cast a curious eye at the two. He also noticed a certain brother lurking around watching them.
Kol and Caroline lounged around the house catching up. They lay on the couch with Caroline snuggled up to Kol and he had his arm draped around her shoulder. To anybody passing by they seriously looked like a couple but the atmosphere around them would say otherwise. It was like he was protecting her from the world and she wouldn't have it any other way. (Ok so I know they serious sound like they are a couple but they are not. I am full Klaroline)
At some point Kol dosed off listening to Caroline talk about all the people she had meet. Of course Kol noticed how she hadn't said that she had killed anybody. She smiled up at him as she slowly slid out of his hold and stood up. She stretched her arms above her head and looked around. She let out a small laugh at all the hustle that was going on around the house. Planning a party in 24 hours was defiantly a skill few people had.
Caroline had never actually met the Mikaelson clan but she felt like she had. Kol may never have admitted it but he loved his family and he showed that around her. He would ramble on and on about his family and she liked hearing about them. All how Rebekah was the picture perfect of a drama filled teenage girl. Elijah the serious always wearing a suit oldest brother. Finn the annoying mama's boy. He even told her about Henrik. They never did like to talk about their youngest brother. Then there was Klaus. The hybrid half brother that looked up his family and carried them around in coffins. Caroline was Kol's best friend, hell she was basically his sister. She just hoped that she was around long enough to make friends with his real family. (Hidden meaning behind those words)
She weaved around all the people in the house and jogged up the steps. She walked into the room her and Kol were sharing. She opened the small bag she had and she had no dress that was suitable to wear tonight. She walked out of the room and down the hallway to Rebekah's room. She knocked a couple times before she opened the door.
"Rebekah?" She called.
"Hey what's up?" Rebekah called from inside her closet. Caroline stepped into the room and smirked. There were three or four dresses lying on her bed and Rebekah came walking out of the closet with another dress.
"I was goanna see if you wanted to go dress sopping but I see you already have one." Caroline scrunched her eyes as her smirk widened and she turned and headed to the door.
"Oh no you don't!" Rebekah called after her as she grabbed her purse and ran up in front of her. "You are so not going shopping without me." She hooked her arm around Caroline's and gave her a playful glare. After a second both blonds started laughing as they made their way out of the room and down the steps. They walked out of the house with smiles on their faces and purses in their hands.
They hopped into Klaus's SUV and Rebekah drove them to a dress shop that was just outside of Mystic Falls. They were still giggling about Caroline's attempt to leave without Rebekah as they walked into the store.
They had been in the store for about 10 minutes when Caroline's phone vibrated.
Where'd you go? –Kol
I'm dress shopping with Rebekah –Care
When are you going to be back? –Kol
Idk. When just got here and I have a feeling Rebekah won't pick a dress until she has tried on at least the whole store twice. –Care
True –Kol
What's wrong? –Care
It's nothing. I was just curious about where you were –Kol
Kol –Care
Care –Kol
Stop treating me like a child. It's been 400 years. –Care
I'm just worrying that's all. You can't stop a papa bear from worrying about its young :) –Kol
Fine! ;) –Care
Ill text you when were on our way home –Care
"Rebekah did you find a dress?" Carline called to her over a few racks of dresses.
"Yes I think I have." Rebekah called back. Caroline walked over the dressing room Rebekah was in and waited for her to come out. She opened the curtain a stepped out diving a small twirl.
She had on a black strapless dress. The top hugged her curves and flowed out at her waist. The fabric was gathered together here and there throughout the skirt. At each gathering was a layer of sparkles. The top curved around her breast. There was beading that dipped into a v and ended right below her breast.
Caroline's mouth dropped open into an o.
"Wow, that's like perfect." She said as she took a couple steps towards her as Rebekah walked over to the mirror to get a look at herself.
"Yeah I like it. I'm goanna get it." She said as she did a little twirl. "What about you did you find one?" Rebekah stopped looking at Caroline suddenly remembering why they had come here in the first place.
"Yep." Caroline smiled. "Already payed for it." Caroline held up the black dress bag she had in her hand. Rebekah took a step towards her reaching out to grab the bag but Caroline avoided the hand and tucked the bag behind her back. She shook her finger at Rebekah. Rebekah retracted her hand and frowned at Caroline.
"You have to wait until tonight." She smirked as she sauntered over to the counter to let the clerk know Rebekah was going to get that dress.
Rebekah stomped her foot and walked back into the dressing room to remove the dress. She smirked as she closed the curtain. She was really liking Caroline.
