Request: Klaroline Drabble Request: AH/AU... maybe something where Klaus is a firefighter and Caroline's building is on fire but she's asleep through it and he makes it to her building and saves her? IDK I picture this being a funny/cute drabble.
Klaroweek Drabble #3
He watches the blaze roar at him in mockery as it consume the building that stands before him. The red paint on the building seems to be melting before his eyes, almost as if the building was crying, weeping for someone to help, for someone to stop the pain and it was his job, his honor to do so.
The night sky and it's cold temperature was no match for the blaze. Shocking.
The hose attached to the fire trucks were of little use either.
While he would put out the fire from the top floor while his men rushed in to save as much people as they could, the blaze from the bottom floor would rise up just when he claimed victory and threaten the lives of his men.
Not today, he thought.
He kept putting out as much of the fire as he can and watched as all of his comrades exited the building. Some had little children cuddled protectively in their arms, one had a baby, almost a newborn as it cried painfully in horror.
Their mothers and fathers rushed to collect their children in frantic relief to know that their babies were alive.
He had thought that everyone got out alive.
The girl that screamed next to him from his side told him wrong.
"Where's Caroline?" she screamed, searching frantically around for her friend, her sister or cousin.
He didn't know who was Caroline or if she made it out of the building so he chose not to answer.
"She's still inside" the girl screamed next to him, he kept the hose in place but his attention went straight to her immediately, silently hoping that she wasn't lying and there was in fact still someone up there, about to meet an untimely death in the worst way possible.
"Are you sure she's still in there?" he asked her as one of his men, his brother no less approached him cautiously.
"I don't see her anywhere and I know my best friend. Please, you have to save her!" the woman screamed, pointing to the poor helpless building.
"We grabbed as many people we found, if she was in there, she would have screamed or something" his brother Kol spoke up.
"Oh god, she took the pills..." the girl trailed off, alarming both Klaus and Kol.
"What pills?" Klaus asked.
"She has insomnia so the doctor gave her some pills, they knock her out cold and it's very difficult to wake her from them" the girl replied "Please find her, help her please!"
Klaus and Kol looked at each other in panic and Kol was ready to take off but Klaus placed the hose in his hands and ran off before Kol could deny him.
Klaus ran up that ladder as quickly as he could, ignoring the burning hot feeling on his entire being from the blames. He quickly broke into one of the windows of a room that has yet to be taken by the fire and entered the building. He looked around and saw nothing and no one.
So he exited the room and went from door to door, room to room in search of the sleeping best friend and came to another room that has yet to be touched by the flames
He was about to close the door and skip to another room when something caught his attention. It was an open door, more like an open bedroom door. It had a mirror attached to the door and in that mirror, he swore he saw someone's- more like a lady's foot.
Deciding not to ignore that feeling, he entered the room and went straight to the mirrored door. He slowly opened it to find a blonde woman in a deep sleep very comfortably on her bed.
This must be the girl.
He ran over to her and shook her shoulders in a frantic move but she has yet to budge. He didn't want to spend too much time on waking her from a deep sleep caused by medication but he was sure as hell he was not going to leave her here to die so he did the one thing that came to mind.
He lifted her into his arms and prepared to leave the building.
He was back in the room he came in from when he stopped at the window. He saw his brother visibly sigh in relief at the sight of him and the person in his arms and so did the girl next to him.
He watched the ladder and then the girl in his arms before lifting over his shoulder. She was light but heavy as well. Light in the sense that she had a small frame and therefore was light compared to the other women and men he had to help out of the building but she was heavy in the sense that he had her on one shoulder so she'll weigh down that particular shoulder.
He climb out of the window and onto the ladder carefully, while using one hand to keep the girl secure on his shoulder. She should not have took such a pill unless there was someone in the house with her.
He carefully and slowly took his steps down the ladder with caution. Many things can happen on this ladder.
An explosion can push the ladder away from the building.
He can slip and fall from a very dangerous height.
He can also drop her as well.
So yes, he was taking his time to reach the ground so that none of those things can happen and endanger both his life and the girl's.
He was so painfully relieved when his hit hit solid ground.
He lifted her off his aching shoulders and craddled her in his arms, carrying her near her friend so that hopefully they can both wake her up from her deep slumber.
He laid her gently on the floor near the woman standing and watching in panic and her hand was covering her mouth, as if dreading the worst when in reality, the girl was perfectly fine. Not a scratch, no burns.
"Oh my good, Caroline..." the girl trailed off in absolute horror.
He rolled his eyes and shook the girl's shoulders with a little more force than he did before and that's when she stired.
"Wha..." she muttered, tiredly.
"Miss" he called.
She hummed and her eyes fluttered close for a moment "Just ten more minutes..."
"Miss" he called, this time, more firmly.
Her eyes groggily opened and blinked up at him in confusion.
Beautiful...was the first thought that came to mind instantly.
"Why is a sexy firefighter waking me up?" she mumbled, sleepily.
"Lady..." he called but she shook her head in denial.
"You better not be another sex fantasy or I'm really gonna be pissed" she grumbled and shook her head slower than she did before.
He would have smirked or blushed if the situation they were in wasn't the least bit real "Lady, this is very real. You need to wake up"
That's when she really made an effort to get up from her dazed slumber to eye what's going on,
"What's going on?" she asked softly, her voice thick with confusion.
"Care...I'm so sorry..I shouldn't have left you in there alone..." was Bonnie's sobbing voice from above him.
He agreed with her, she shouldn't have left her alone...yet he suppose she wouldn't know whether there was going to be a fire or not.
"Bonnie? What's going on?" she asked, sitting up to the sight of a building, her apartement building on fire.
"Oh my god..." she gasped.
"I'm so sorry Care..."
"Are you alright? Do you feel any pain at all?" he asked, wanting to make sure that nothing had happened to her.
"My mind is clouded with sleep right now but I'm fine...how did the fire happen?"
"We're not sure yet but it came from one apartment in particular on the middle floor" he replied, was she actually more concerned about the building than her life?
"Is everyone okay?" she asked, finally bringing her eyes back to his. He had to physically refrain from gasping at the vision in front of him but her question did throw him off a bit.
"Um...a total of nine people didn't make it but everyone else came out with minor burns and injuries" he replied, a little confused by her question. Did she have any self preservation?
"Oh god..." she actually sounded saddened by their deaths and that was shocking itself. He knew there are people that are genuinely caring but personally, he's never met one before.
"Can you stand?" he asked, remembering that she was still seating on the cold hard floor.
She nodded so he stood and held out his hands for her, hesitantly, she took them and he pulled her off the floor in one quick move, causing her to gasp in shock.
"Is something wrong?" he quickly asked, hoping he hadn't hurt her in any way while retrieving her from the burning building.
She quickly shook her head "No, I'm good, it's just..." he kept watching her as if waiting for what she was about to say "Nothing, it's nothing"
He's really strong...she thought.
"Well, why don't you just visit the medics just to be sure then? Your friend..." he trailed off, glancing at her for her name.
"Bonnie" she told him.
"Bonnie can take you while we try to put out this fire" she nodded and allowed Bonnie to grab her hand to pull her in the direction of the ambulance not too far behind her.
Caroline couldn't help but look back at the man that saved her life only she didn't meet his back but his eyes as he too looked back to her.
So whatcha think?
