Chapter 1: New Orleans
When Caroline and Klaus boarded off the plane, they headed straight to baggage claim. Klaus's luggage was first to come off the conveyer belt, partially because it was one of the largest.
"Seriously, you had to pack a monstrosity like that?" Caroline nodded towards his large leather suitcase.
"Well, love, just because I'm a man doesn't mean I can't dress to impress." Klaus said with a small smile.
Caroline just rolled her eyes and picked up her small travel bag that had just rolled out. She was a fashionista, but she still packed light. She followed Klaus through security until they got to a semi decent sitting area. Caroline plopped down into a hardly cushioned chair.
"May I ask what in the world are you doing?" Klaus asked, eyeing her tired expression.
"Well, I have just spent four hours on a plane, so I am kind of exhausted." Caroline said simply.
"Well, I happen to have a car waiting out front for us, so let's move." he said, pulling Caroline up by her arm.
"Oh, fine." She whined.
A black limousine was parked out front of the airport, with a driver holding a sign that read "Mikaelson". Klaus handed the driver his luggage, and took Caroline's from her hand. He opened up the back door and motioned for Caroline to get in. She just looked at him, but obliged. Soon they were on their way.
Soon the driver let them off on the famous Bourbon Street, leaving Caroline confused.
"Aren't we staying in a hotel?" she asked Klaus, looking around.
"Sorry love, but no." he said, starting to walk forward.
Caroline stepped in front of him.
"Then where are we staying?" she said through gritted teeth.
"I and my family own a nice little town house in the French Quarter. Now please let me by, sweetheart." he said pushing by her. Caroline couldn't do anything but follow the annoying hybrid.
Caroline soon decided that wearing three inch heeled boots was a bad idea. She and Klaus had been walking for what felt like forever. But, soon houses started to appear, and suddenly they were in a quaint, quiet little neighborhood. Houses were lined up like soldiers, with little gardens separating property from property.
After Klaus had rounded a corner for the umpteenth time, he stopped at a charming red brick townhouse. It had white shutters and a luscious garden around and probably behind it.
"Wow." Caroline breathed.
"Impressed, I see."Klaus said, looking through his pockets for the key.
"Well, I never imagined you would own a sweet little place like this". Caroline said, edging the conversation.
Klaus ignored her little jab.
He finally found the house key and walked up the steps. Caroline followed suit. When Klaus opened the door, Caroline almost squealed. The place was so homey and relaxing. A white banister staircase led upstairs. The living room was to the right, the kitchen to the left.
Caroline headed straight to the living room, settling herself on the cozy little sofa.
"Well, I see you like the place, love." Klaus said, smiling.
"It's just so warm compared to your mega-mansion back home." she said leaning back.
"Don't you want to see your room?" Klaus said, gesturing upstairs.
"I guess." Caroline said, shrugging her shoulders.
Klaus led the baby vampire upstairs, passing three different doors until he got to the end of the hall. He twisted the doorknob.
A room decorated in lavender and cream shone bright in the morning light.
"Oh my, it's beautiful." Caroline breathed, entering the room.
"A beautiful girl deserves a beautiful room." Klaus said.
Caroline touched the soft lavender silk coverlet on the bed. The drapes revealed that she also had a window seat looking out into the back garden.
"Thank you." she said, turning toward him.
"Your closet is right here."Klaus said, pointing to a door across the room.
"And that's my bathroom." Caroline concluded, nodding towards the other closed door.
"Yes." he said in agreement.
"Well, it really is a beautiful room."Caroline said, breaking the passionate moment.
"I'm glad you like it, love." Klaus said a small hint of a smile.
"I have business to attend to, but you and I will have dinner at the pier tonight." He continued, ending their conversation.
Caroline nodded slightly.
Klaus placed her small bag on the bed, and closed the door. Caroline headed for the window seat, sitting down. She gazed onto the garden, mesmerized. Maybe this wasn't a bad choice after all, she thought.
Klaus hurried through the busy streets, searching for his beloved brother Elijah. He finally spotted him sitting at a tiny cafe, dressed in his usaul buiness attire.
"Brother." Klaus said, pulling up a chair to the rather cramped table.
"Niklaus, my I ask were you have been?" the older brother asked, looking Klaus directly in the eye.
"Well, I decided to pay dear Caroline a little visit for graduation." he said with a smirk.
"How is Miss Caroline fairing, anyway?" Elijah asked, curious.
"She happens to be here in New Orleans, actually." Klaus said, relaxing into the patio chair.
"You brought the girl back?" Elijah said, sitting up.
"Why not? She agreed, so I brought her." Klaus said, showing no signs of concern.
"Marcel is here, along with the Hayley issue, and a bunch a dangerous vampires." Elijah said, looking at Klaus sharply.
"I will protect her." Klaus siad coolly.
"But how will she accept your unborn child?" Elijah said.
Klaus suddenly realized, he had a very big problem.
Hope you enjoyed this Chapter! I hope to have a second one up soon. I don't want this to be a cut off story, so I'm going for twenty chapters. Who knows I might even write more...
