Disclaimer: I still don't own TVD or the Originals, but hey, who can blame me for dreaming?
Hey guys! Thankyou so much for all the follows and favorites they, mean the world to me 3 I really enjoyed writing this chapter – I't's a little OOC but I figured that after 1000 years, there has to be a group of people that Klaus actually have fun with... right? Anyway I'd love to hear comments about the friendship ~~ and the joke _
Oh and Shoutout to my new BEAUTIFUL beta STEPH! I love you and you're just amazing!
Klaus POV
10 years and there she was, the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. But she was with my brother - and she seemed to be quite comfortable, as she closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. It was my curse, seeing the most beautiful creature in the world and knowing she would never love me in return.
At first she seemed shocked, then because she's Caroline I saw her surprise change into anger, much like the rage I was feeling. Then she turned around and walked away, again, just like everyone else did.
Elijah looked as though he was about to follow her when he sniffed the air and whipped around to look at me. We stared at each other momentarily before I disappeared into my studio, if I had to speak to him at that point in time I would probably snap his neck, or dagger him for holding her so close.
Caroline's POV
I tried not to read too deeply into how I acted around Klaus those 10 years ago. How it took me a minute to remember I hated him, how I leaned into his touch even though he was the enemy and how I wanted to kiss him so badly. But the truth was I know why I acted and felt the way I did.
No matter what he did he ultimately put me first, not like Stefen who rejected me in his first few days in school, like Damon and even Matt in someways, who both had used me because they couldn't have Elena, or Bonnie who didn't talk to me for weeks when I became a vampire but was perfectly fine when Elena made the transition, or even like Tyler who ran off when he was sired to Klaus and used his own 'girlfriend' as a distraction.
But I'm never going to show Klaus how I almost fell in love with him, because it doesn't matter when he left. And anyway I'm with Tyler now...
"OH MY GOD TYLER", I yell out and frantically start calling him and I leave about a thousand messages warning him about Klaus.
When I finally give up my phone starts to vibrate, and I yank it from its spot on the phone, the message reads..
Hey Care,
Elijah told me Klaus is back, so we're ditching the party..
Join us at Mystic Grill,
it'll only be you, me, 'Bekah, Elijah and Bonnie.
I know your probably fuming and knowing you, you tried to call Tyler..
Just please come, if you don't I'll get 'Bekah to hunt you down.
Please come Care,
Love Matt xx
Oh, what the hell, I think to myself. I don't really want to go, but then if I don't it will seem like I care about Klaus, which I do...n't. So I pick myself up dust my dress and make my way Mystic Grill.
I can't help but smile when I walk in, Elijah is as silent as always, as is Matt, but Rebakah and Bonnie on the other hand seem oblivious to this, they are happily chatting away. Matt smiled warmly as I walk up and take my seat next to Elijah, 'Lijah on the other hand just give my hand a reassuring squeeze, trying to be discreet but showing me it's ok to be upset.
"Oh my goodness, Caro-pop did you see Nik, it was sorta creepy he was just starring and you, and I was like, hey... remember me, only person who stuck by you for 1000 years, right here", Rebekah let out once again seeming oblivious to Elijah trying not to mention him. For some reason though I wasn't angry, I let out a laughed and it felt good too.
Just as I finished giggling at nothing in particular I spotted one of the most gorgeous men I had ever seen, he was so tall like 6 foot, with chocolate brown hair, green eyes and he was wearing a white shirt with blue jeans, followed by two more stunning men, one of which had should long blonde hair, there were two girls also, talking animatedly with them and they seemed not to notice us even though my table was blankly starring straight at them.
We have NO visitors in Mystic Falls, and here was a small community of new people. How can this night get any weirder,like always I thought too fast. The door opened once more revealing Klaus, with a Henley shirt with leather pants and black converses on, but he wasn't on his lonesome, on his right side was a stunning blonde girl dressed in full leather and on his left side was a very smart look young man with light brown hair and brown eyes, though he was slightly shorter than Klaus. They walked past us too, and they silently joined the other group, I tuned in with my Vampire hearing as did everyone else, except bonnie, she just squeaked "Guys!", before Elijah kicked he under the table.
The Blonde girl was talked first, "So I have this really awesome joke... Nik are you listening?", she practically yelled at him.
"Oh seriously Eli, not this joke again we've heard it like 50 times", the gorgeous one said.
"Of course I'm listening Eli, but if the others have heard it, maybe another time", Klaus responded, genuinely amused.
"So.. three little piggies went out for dinner", the blonde- Eli, continued as though she didn't hear him, "they were ordering entrees and the 1st little piggy ordered salad-"
"So it was a healthy piggy", Klaus cut her off while the others laughed.
"Yes", Eli snapped at him, "The 2nd Little piggy ordered hot chips and they third little piggy ordered beer-".
"So that's a R rated piggy then", Klaus interjected again.
Eli looked like she wanted to be mad but she let out a giggle ad continued, "When they finished entrees they ordered mains, the healthy piggy ordered Pasta, the 2nd piggy ordered steak and the R rated piggy ordered beer once more".
Klaus nodded to show her that he was following her and she continued.
"After the mains, they ordered dessert, the healthy piggy ordered a fruit salad, the 2nd piggy ordered ice-cream and the R rated piggy ordered-".
"BEER!" everyone said in union.
Eli smiled fondly then said, "When they finished dessert the piggies waiter came over and asked the R rated piggy, why did you only order beer... and the R rated piggy responded, who else is going to go wee wee wee all the way home?", Eli finished.
Two of the guys face palmed, the girls shook their heads, smiling. But Klaus just sat there laughing, and not fake laughing but the real type, like when we went on the date.
The man with long hair said, "Nik I can't believe you actually think that's funny".
Klaus replied breathlessly, "Marty, I can't believe after 300 years, that's the best joke Eli can come up with". And with that the whole group broke out into laughter.
It was the oddest thing I had ever seen, Klaus was genuinely enjoying himself and comfortable around a large group of people, more comfortable even, than I've ever seen him with his family.
I heard a sound so I turned back to my table to see Rebekah throw her hair behind her and practically pushed Matt out of the booth.
"Rebekah!", Elijah whispered sharply.
But the sudden movement already caught someone's attention, the gorgeous man's. He looked in Rebekah's direction suspiciously. The suspicious look turned to one of recognition as he tilted his head slightly.
"Bekah", he said lightly, as the others looked in the same direction and waved, all except Klaus, who clearly knew we were already here.
Rebekah went in order around the table, the gorgeous one, the smart looking one, two of the girls, the long haired one, the blonde girl and the other man, then of course here brother.
She marched towards the table saying,"Hi Tony, hey Cary, hey Nat and Jane, hey Marty, hi Jeremy, and hello dear brother," She finished effectively stunning everyone on our table except Elijah.
All of their smiles faltered, good, I thought to myself, their scared of her. But Rebekah had eyes for only one of them, and he was boldly staring at her, all earlier amusement gone from his face.
After about a minute Klaus spoke, deadly quiet, "Little sister, always likes to make and entrance."
"What do you want Niklaus?" Rebekah spat.
Klaus smiled with no amusement in his eyes, "So cold little 'Bekah, don't worry I'm not here to rain on your parade," Klaus leaned back, "I suggest you leave before you say something you regret."
"Caroline, I want to leave", Rebekah smiled slightly.
At first I didn't understand, there were many people on our table, including the eldest original and her boyfriend, but then I saw that she got her desired reaction. Each of the occupants of Klaus' table repeated the name Caroline and piped their heads up to get a good look at me.
Elijah immediately wrapped his arm around me and Matt edged closer to me too, at that Klaus' eyes flashed yellow. Jeremy looked at Eli, who covered Klaus's hand with her own.
"Nik, we're all really tired from all the traveling, let's retire for tonight ok?" She asked gently.
Klaus didn't move though, but Tony stood smiling and said something in no language I had ever heard, I looked to Elijah to see if he had understood but he just shrugged at me.
Klaus bowed his head smirking then stood up and everyone let out a breath of relief. As they filed out of the grill each said hi to Elijah and he nodded at all of them. Klaus of course ignored our table point blank, and I returned the favor willing myself not to look at him.
A/N I hope you enjoyed it.. Please guys review the story... I would really like to hear what you thought, the more you review that, the more I want to write and the faster I'll update! Next chapter will be pretty violent - it's the Tyler/Klaus reunion which isn't quite so bittersweet.
MTGZ over and out xx
