Please keep any length of reviews coming, it makes me happy in my little Klaroine world ...with the snuggly bunny Klausy *smiles*
Clearly I do not want a certain Mikael as a snuggle bunny, I want to apologize in advance about how creepy I've made him. But, I don't think Mikael has any fans...if he does...hopefully they don't mind him being a bit of weirdo...
"I can't believe Mother entrusted her to you," Kol said, grabbing the knife and skinning the deer angrily, taking out all of his frustration, "She's my exact age, your like, ancient compared to her."
Klaus tried not to laugh, "I'm only two years older then her, and like you could be trusted with looking after someone."
"Hey! I'm nine, not three!" Kol threw the dead carcass to the floor and rocked on the tree log they were sitting on, "Do you think she'll ever talk to us?"
Klaus shrugged and picked up a twig, drawing patterns in the soil, "Perhaps one day, give her time."
"Whenever any of us get near her she just stops talking, I don't think I've even heard her voice, what does it sound like? Does it sound like this," He puffed out his cheeks, ready to do an imitation of a girl but Klaus nudged him when he heard a sound and Kol gagged for air.
Klaus put his finger to his lips and they both held their breath, they saw a flash of blonde go past, not realising they were there.
"Klaus," The girl called timidly, Klaus immediately got up and started to walk towards her but Kol held him back, cocking his head so that his hair fell behind his ear and he could hear his adoptive sister speak once more.
"Klaus?" She repeated, he could hear the worry in her voice and Klaus moved away from him harshly, running towards the girl, Kol followed eagerly and watched as Caroline smiled happily at his brother, grabbing his hand and whispering something in his ear. But then she saw Kol and hid behind Klaus immediately, her frightened face peeking out every now and again.
"Hello," Kol said kindly and walked cautiously towards her, she stepped away from Klaus and held out her hand, not even looking at Kol. He shook it and looked at Klaus shrugging but he smiled encouragingly and Kol whispered, "I'm your brother too."
Caroline entered the grill and spotted her friend immediately, Bonnie waved her over and Caroline sat opposite her, Bonnie pushed a glass towards her and Caroline giggled, "I'm not married yet."
"Your marrying Damon," Bonnie smiled, "You better get used to the alcohol."
"Why does everyone think he's a raging alcoholic?" Caroline asked exasperated.
Bonnie raised her eyebrows and Caroline laughed, placing a box on the table and opening the lid, Bonnie peered into the box and squealed when she saw the baby blue gown, repeating that it was 'beautiful' and that Caroline 'shouldn't have' whilst running her hands up and down the material.
"You'll make a beautiful maid of honour," Caroline smiled and Bonnie looked at her stunned.
"Me? Seriously?"
"Of course you!" Caroline smiled, "Who else?"
"I was going to say that if you chose Anna I would perform some serious witch voodoo shit on you."
Caroline snorted and put a hand to her mouth as Bonnie laughed at her, they hugged over the table and Bonnie sipped her drink looking over at the bar and then back at Caroline, then back at the bar, then Caroline again with a smirk.
"Appears Damon's already got competition."
Caroline followed Bonnie's gaze and saw a brown haired man who raised his glass at her, winking, she frowned at him, he looked familiar, but she couldn't tell where from.
"I'll be right back," She said to Bonnie who only raised her eyebrows and watched Caroline walk towards what she thought looked like a perverted man, Caroline's favourite.
"Can I buy you a drink?" He asked, looking at the bartender and compelling him to serve Caroline free of charge, she gasped and leant towards him.
"That's wrong."
Kol laughed and held back from saying that she hadn't changed, she took the drink from the man angrily and sat next to the vampire, "Don't get your panties in a twist," He joked, "You can pay for it if you really want to."
Caroline rolled her eyes but found herself unable to move from the spot, she knew him from somewhere, but whenever she tried to think about it her mind went foggy.
Caroline had began to take more of an interest in Kol since he had formally introduced himself the other week, she now sat next to him at the table, between him and Klaus whilst they all shared food, no longer holding onto Klaus's hand where no one would see.
Esther walked in with cups of water and sat next to her husband, she kissed him on the cheek and he turned to quiz Elijah's of his day's hunt, when he asked Caroline what she had been doing for entertainment for the day she remained silent and everyone gasped at her ignorance, Mikael was not one to be blankly ignored.
Kol squeezed her hand lightly under the table trying to encourage her to speak but she wrenched her hand from his grasp and he saw her other hand grab Klaus's instead who spoke immediately when he recognised his father's temper rising.
"We were collecting water," He said, keeping his eyes on the floor.
He heard his father's chair scrape backwards and clatter to the ground; he saw the boots underneath him and raised his head, to the side of him Caroline lent back in her chair..
"Is your name Caroline?" He spat and laughed bitterly when Klaus shook his head and whispered, "Sorry sir."
Mikael grabbed the scruff of Klaus's neck and hurled him to his feet; Rebekah began to weep and held onto Elijah who looked away vacantly, wanting to defy his father but knowing that his honour would never permit him to. Kol grabbed Caroline's chair so it wouldn't topple over as she began screaming, tears falling down her face.
Esther instantly rushed to her side and tried to soothe her, looking up at Mikael who now had her son dangling in the air, "Put him down Mikael, your scaring her."
Klaus dropped to the floor and staggered to his feet, Caroline pulled him down onto his chair and grabbed his hands, he looked at her gratefully and wanted to slap Esther's hands away from her shoulders.
Several minutes later Caroline addressed the family for the first time since her arrival, she looked up from her plate and stared right into Mikael's eyes, "We were collecting water."
"What's your life been like?" The man asked, resting his head on his hand and peering at her, when she drunk from the glass his mouth fell open in shock, his eyes landing on the diamond around her finger, "You're engaged?"
"Yes," She said casually, "But don't worry, I'm not going to tell my fiancée that you've been flirting with me."
Kol spurted his drink, "That's disgusting!"
Caroline's gaped at him, appalled, she looked down quickly at her outfit, jeans and a simple white t-shirt, she inwardly cursed herself for not making more of an effort then shook her head, Damon didn't care what she wore, in fact he often commented about how she should be a nudist.
"And why's that? You too old for me vamp?" Caroline tried to joke.
"I see you as a sis-" Kol began but he was cut off abruptly by Klaus patting him harshly on the back and ordering a drink.
She ignored Klaus, his way of introduction earlier made her feel like shit, downing the rest of her drink she glared at him quickly as she passed it back to the man and was about to make her way back over to Bonnie when she turned and asked, "What's your name?" But she was looking at Klaus whilst saying this who seemed determined to disregard her.
"Kol Mikaelson," He whistled and her mouth almost fell open.
"You're his brother?" She squeaked, "That's why you look so familiar."
"Don't compare these good looks to that thing," Kol said, pretending to be offended, but his humour vanished when he realised that Klaus was glancing anxiously around them, his gaze resting on the window outside, petrified of Mikael and his wrath.
He faltered and Caroline looked between the two of them, she caught Klaus's gaze and, yet again, felt uncomfortable, the way he was looking at her, it was like he'd known her forever. She shuddered and gave them a tight smile before turning round and sitting beside Bonnie across the opposite end of the Grill.
"Slow down!" Caroline yelled, almost falling over as Klaus laughed at her from a far.
She grabbed hold of a tree branch for support and wiped her brow, she began to fan herself with her hand and felt relieved when she saw him begin to walk towards her, a happy smile on his handsome face, she instantly cursed herself for thinking such a thing of her brother.
She rested against the tree and he knelt down beside her, "You're the one that wanted to perform this childish activity."
"Its fun," She pouted.
He reached his hand out towards her and her breath hitched but then his hand fell back to his side and he looked around them.
"There's no one here Nik," She said shifting closer towards him, fully aware that her breasts were pressed against his chest, she smiled up at him innocently and he looked down at her uncertainly.
"Are we going to continue playing chase or not?" He asked moving away from her and she let out a breath, typical, he will always see her as his sister, she tried not to show him how upset she was by turning away and wiping a stray tear from her eye.
"Am I still the chaser?" He asked not noticing her change in mood, he prodded her playfully; she whacked his hand away and giggled.
"Your always going to be the chaser Nik," She said tauntingly and then he lunged for her, she just managed to avoid him and he landed in the grass with a thud.
She laughed as she ran and within moments she'd made it to the edge of the forest and stopped dead when she saw Mikael standing by the well, it was almost the same as she'd experienced with Klaus only weeks ago when she'd peeked at him, but this time she was not interested at all, she felt disgusted and tried to move back without him seeing her.
"Caroline?" He asked, his voice boomed around her and she gulped, looking back at him and trying not to shriek when she saw how naked he was, she had a great urge to cover her eyes.
She took a hasty step back and fell over, he started to walk towards her and her heart rate sped up, she struggled to get up but she felt paralysed.
"Father," She pleaded, "Will you not be decent?"
It was the first time she'd ever called him that, usually she didn't refer to him at all, he cocked his head to the side and grimaced, "That won't work on me dear."
She felt relieved when Klaus stumbled out of the forest, a carefree grin on his face, which, automatically vanished when he took in the scene around him. Mikael looked abashed and Klaus stared at him with hatred, speaking with malice, "Do you not think it inappropriate to be nude around your daughter?"
"But she's not my daughter is she?" Mikael asked watching Klaus carefully whilst putting on his clothes, he moved towards them and looked down at Caroline who was still on the floor right by Klaus's legs. He looked slowly back up at Klaus and smirked, "Just as she's not your sister."
He shoved past him and called, "Don't go telling your mother about this little incident Klaus. It's not my fault you two can't keep your habits somewhere sensible."
Klaus held his hand out to Caroline who took it and fell into his arms, her head in his shoulder, her breath coming out in hitches, he stroked her hair and watched his father's back as he walked away.
But then Mikael turned round and grinned at him, "You are far too old for games now boy, it's forbidden to you. Time to grow up and become man."
"You're a despicable excuse for a man," Klaus growled, practically dragging a bewildered Kol from the Grill.
He pushed him against the brick wall and pressed down hard on his neck, taking a dagger from his pocket and raising it to Kol's face, his eyes widened in shock and he cockily said, "You wouldn't."
"Is that a dare little bro?"
Kol snarled and tried to push away from him but Klaus pushed him harder against the wall, he brought the dagger close to Kol's chest and revelled in his fear.
"Caroline, do I have to?" They heard the witches voice float towards them and Klaus immediately let go of Kol who sunk to the floor relieved.
"You said that weird Kol guy was hot and I swear I saw him go out this way," Caroline replied and Kol looked at Klaus mouthing, 'I've pulled' and moved towards the entrance of the Grill but Klaus glared at him and he hid behind the open door, watching Caroline and Bonnie look around with confusion.
After several moments the girls finally gave up and hugged, parting ways and waving over their shoulders, Caroline walked towards the forest, the shortcut to the Salvatore house, and Klaus hurried to Kol commanding him that they leave Mystic Falls and never come back, but then they just glimpsed the shadow of a man running after Caroline, and her scream seconds later.
