On That Fate Filled Day

Chapter 2: Seven Minutes

"Truth or dare Klaus?"

Elena had spun the bottle and it had landed on Klaus. Elena could hardly contain her giddiness at the opportunity in front of her.

"Dare, Love," Klaus replied, "obviously." "Okay," answered Elena. She had no idea what to dare The Big Bad Hybrid when it was obvious to her and basically anyone he came into contact with, that he had done everything. She finally decided on daring him to make out with Caroline.

Klaus was pretty confident he saw a slight smile briefly grace her lips, but wasn't sure if he had imagined it or not. So he stayed quiet. Caroline glared a playful death glare at Elena before asking, "How long." in a clipped tone. "Three minutes," she paused, "or more, we'll see." Elena answered while smirking devilishly at her blonde bestie.

Caroline's mouth dropped open momentarily, then closed. The blonde baby vamp took a deep breath, stood up and went to Klaus.

Another deep breath, she leaned her face towards Klaus' and placed her lips square to his. She realized almost instantly that she could get used to kissing the original's perfectly pink, plump lips.

Not even a minute into the make out session between Klaus and Caroline, it became quite noticeably more heated and intimate. When Elena called time, Caroline and Klaus were a little reluctant to pull away but did anyways. The pair also noticed that Bonnie, Rebekah, and even the dare giver herself, were all blushing furiously.

Caroline giggled at the sight of making her friends (and Rebekah) all blush. After the two sat back down, Klaus spun the bottle. "Ah, Elijah, my most noble of brothers, Truth or D..." Klaus tried, but was cut off by Elijah supplying his answer, "Dare, Brother... And please, for the love of all that is great in the world, make it a good one."

"Someone's a little eager is he?" Kol teased his brother, but Elijah didn't seem to care. He was to caught up in noticing how surprised Elena looked at his choice of words towards his brother. Elena quickly recovered and waited silently to hear Elijah's dare from Klaus.

"I dare you to...Hmm this is harder than I had anticipated." Klaus paused, thinking of a good dare for his uptight and proper brother to get him to loosen up, at least a little bit.

All of a sudden, "Ah ha! I know now! But as a warning big brother, keep in mind that you asked for it. Okay, *Deep intake of air* I dare you to, *snicker* *loud sigh* I dare you to make out with Elena for seven minutes!"

Kol burst into a large fit of laughter upon hearing his brother's dare. But Kol and Klaus were visibly upset after the only reaction they got out of their big brother was a light shrug of his shoulders. Elijah called a panicking Elena over to him where she only obeyed. He motioned for her to come and sit on his lap, and she did.

Elijah, being the eldest and most practiced of anyone on the earth, could sense the worry of the poor girl. He almost felt like backing out just for her sake but quickly decided against it. He knew he would have to put up with an uncomfortable Elena, if he wanted to beat his overly obsessive brothers.

Elena had become a vampire just a few months ago so she was still very worried about many things. Elijah stroked her hair soothingly with one hand while he gently stroked her cheek with the other. He slowly moved his thumb and fingers lower, to gently pull her face closer to his. He continued to stroke calming motions with his thumb against her jawline as they leaned towards each other. They could feel each others warm breath on their lips, he slightly moved his face to whisper in her ear, "Shh, it's all okay. Just close your eyes, lovely Elena." She did exactly as she was told and closed her eyes as they leaned in a little more. Until finally, their lips touched for the very first time.
