i could hear her heart beating fastly, she must be nervous. i opened the door and smiled. Rebekah looked breath taking her hair was just as long as mine and she had beautiful flowers in the braids.
"hello." i said politely.
"hi, im Rebekah. you met my brother Kol earlier today." she smiled taking a deep breath. "My mother has prepared a dinner and she has invited you all to join us. she sent me to escort you there"
"sure, yeah. im Caroline" Klaus walks up behind me and i see Rebekahs eyes widen before she blushes and looks down. i look at Klaus and he just had an innocent smile on his face. "and this is Klaus, my husband" i spit out through my teeth trying not to shudder. Bonnie walks over and gives Rebekah a hug.
"and i am Bonnie" she says.
"pleasure to meet you all."she looks down to the ground. Klaus walks out the hut first and grabs some meat in a basket.
my face scrunched up and i seen Rebekahs face do the same and it made me smile.
we started walking to the Mikaelson hut. "my father and three other brothers are still out but they should be back soon. My mother is excited to meet you. the whole village is talking about the new comers. some will be disappointed you two are married" Rebekah glances at Klaus and Caroline eyeing them. "however i know the men are going to be estatic when they learn that you are still availible, Bonnie."
"actually i think shes caught kols eye, he invited her to a festival" i say laughing at bonnies death glare. i could see she was definatly trying to not use her powers on me. all i could think about was 'haha payback'.
"Kol, really?" Rebekah asks smiling hugely. "did you say yes?"
" i did" Bonnie sighs. Rebekah wraps her arm through Bonnies and pulls her forward a little bit. i used some of my vampire abilities to tell Klaus something so they wouldnt hear. i cleared my head. i havent tried this but i know it is possible.
Damon did it to me once, i focused on klaus and grabbed his hand, hopefully to make a stronger connection for what i wanted to tell him. i pictured us at the bar of the mystic grill. i saw klaus stiffen slightly when the images passed through him
"will your mother sense us? we should probably not touch her...just in case?" i asked while twirling a straw in a glass on the bar.i glanced at klaus and he was smirking at me. i raised an eyebrow.
he took another minute before he replied.
"we dont have to worry about that i had bonnie do a spell earlier to basically cloak all three of us. my mother, along with anyone else wont know we are vampires,.bonnie being a witch/anchor, and us being from the future."
"well look at you all ahead of the game..." i rolled my eyes and ran a hand through my hair.
"if i hadnt of been we wouldve been busted earlier when bekah hugged Bonnie... shes a witch also, however not as strong as Esther. she should just be entering that 'world'" Klaus raises his hand to a loose curl and pushed it out my face.
"hey this is my day dream thing not yours... stop trying to take over" i growled smacking his hand away. he let out a loud, free laugh. his laugh made me want to laugh. just then i heard a throat clearing and i pulled myself out of Klaus' head... if thats where i was.
my eyes refocused and me and Klaus had stopped walking and was what it would look like to any other person starring deeply into each others eyes. i looked over at Bonnie and Rebekah who had stopped and was looking at us. Ronnie raised an eyebrow amused and Rebekah looked bashful. she looked down at the ground smiling.
i then realised i was still holding Klaus' hand. i released his hand immediately.
"sorry" i said apoligetically looking at both girls "dont know what came over us" i smiled and began walking again with them. i peaked over at Klaus who took my hand again. i looked down and he twirled me around in a circle as we were walking.
i was completely surprised by his actions so i giggled mid twirl and while i was turning i could see some men from the village looking lustfuly at me, Bonnie, and Rebekah. i then realised Klaus' actions.
he was showing i was his, i shook my head and rolled my eyes at his fake possesiveness of me. we stopped outside the hut that was larger than ours. it had a large looking witches pot outside hanging on some wooden concoction. there was a few tree stumps around the hut and a small hand axe stuck in one of the stumps.
Rebekah entered the hut. me, Klaus, and Bonnie just stood there looking at each other.
"well?" Rebekah asks and Bonnie warily and slowly started moving through the thresh hold. i looked at Klaus "come on, get in here..." Rebekah said impatiently. i smiled and pulled Klaus along.
"mother im back and brought guests" she said unnesicarily loud. this must be awkward for Klaus. i could only sympathize, for him. im not all that confortable here either. i could only imagine what it would be like when i see Esther and Mikael... i had a cold chill run up my spin.
i looked over and seen Klaus tense alittle, i could feel his grip on my hand slightly tighten out of anxiousness. i rubbed soothing circles on his hand and seen him relax a little, i gave him a small smile.
just then Kol, Esther, and a younger boy perhaps 14 or 15 walk in the room, i heard Klaus sharply take in a breath.
"welcome" Esther said and i did my best to be polite... i had to remind my self that this wasnt the same Esther who tried to kill everyone yet.
"thank you for meeting us" Bonnie says with a curt smirk.
"this is Bonnie, Caroline and Klaus" Rebekah points to us all. Kol walks over to Bonnie and places a chast kiss on her cheek. i had to reframe myself from doubling over with laughter. Kol straightened himself.
"this is our mother, Esther" Kol points to her then looks at the younger boy "and our baby brother, Henrik"
the boy named Henrik sighs and shakes his head, his dark hair moving with his movement.
"im not a baby Kol, im a man!" Henrik says and i heard Klaus guinuinly chuckle. i didnt even know he had another brother. when Rebekah said three brothers i assumed it was kol,finn and elijah.
"and a handsome man you are Henrik. its so nice to meet you" i smile brightly and gave him my hand to shake. he hesitantly took it and smirked back.
"i like you" he said shyly. i laughed lightly.
"stop, you will make me blush." i joked with him and i saw his cheeks heat up and i heard everyone laugh at our encounter. i turned my gaze, it set it to Esther.
"Esther its a pleasure as well" i leaned in and gave her a quick hug. before backing away and walking back over to Klaus nodding to Kol along the way who smirked back at me.
klaus clears his throat and looks at Esther. "we brought some deer meat for your family" he hands her the basket of meat and Esther smiled greatly at him.
"thank you, it was unnessisary. but we' re greatful" Esther says placing the basket on a wooden table.
"its the least i could do, considering you have invited us for dinner" klaus says. Esther nods and looks at everyone.
"okay go and wash up and be back" she demands. we all nod and walk to bowls and wash our hands.
moments later we are sat down at a table and chatting with each other. it turns out that the Mikaelsons as humans are completely different from their original status'. rebekahs bitch status isnt there and she is bashful and sweet and shy. kol is very charismatic that hasnt changed but he isnt as full of himself as he is as a vampire.
henrik was the sweetest boy ever. he was shy, kind, flirty, etc. he had the combination of all his siblings that i have met. i seen klaus' temper slightly, kols flirty and jokes, elijahs morals, rebekahs shyness and bashfulness it was cute and innocent. even though he technically wasnt that much younger than me. i was turned when i was 17 and im now 19 in a 17 year old body but he was so pure even if he is only 2 or 3 years younger than my frozen age.
Esther had bowls of soup put infront of everyone and infront of the empty chairs. she laid bread out on the tables as well. just then three guys walk in. i reconize the three siblings. the first two was Elijah and Finn.
Elijah was smiling freely. his hair was slightly below his shoulders. he had a brown leather vest on, his toned arms exposed. i looked at bonnie and we shared a look. i had never seen Elijah in anything but a suit. this was definately something.
Finn walked in and slightly punched elijahs arm with a slight smile on his face. a second later niklaus walked in and had his head down slightly not paying attention to his surroundings, he looked sad. he walked straight to the bowls of water and washed up. i looked over at klaus who was watching his family.
all three of us sat at the table quietly watching the exchange of the 'men' greeting there mother and rebekah. henrik jumped out his chair and ran straight to klaus and hugged him. my eyes followed him as he hugged his brother back.
"Nik your back!" he said excitedly.
"of course" niklaus says and henrik runs back to his seat. niklaus follows soon after not even realizing theres three guests here. he walked to a chair across from me his eyes still down.
"nik are you okay?" i heard rebekah ask. niklaus still didnt look up as pulled out his chair replying.
"im fine beka-" he abrubtly stopped talking when he looked up and seen bonnie, klaus, and myself at the table. he starred at me for a moment while sitting down and he nearly fell off his chair. i smiled brightly at him then looked at 'our klaus. he had a hand over his forehead.
did klaus actually look embarassed? "great" i heard 'our klaus say so low no human could hear. i let out a small giggle so low and 'our klaus peaked up at me with a smirk. the entire interaction took only three seconds.
i looked back at bonnie who was talking to kol about something.
rebekah shook her head at her brother worried but shrugging off. "these are our other brothers, finn, elijah, and Niklaus" she pointer to each one before looking at them.
"and this is Caroline, Klaus, and Bonnie. they just moved here today." kol said pointing to all of us. i looked up at elijah and finn who was starring at us i smiled at them before fixing my eyes on 'Niklaus'.
right when i looked over at him he looked up at me. i couldnt look away from his eyes. i still had a smile on my lips. just then the door opened and Mikael walked through the door. i looked over and seen 'our klaus tense and his jaw lock. i looked down to his lap and saw his fist clench. out the corner of my eye i seen 'niklaus look back down to the table. i put my hand over klaus' fist under the table.
he nodded at me and composed his face and i removed my hand back to my lap. i watched as mikael bent down and kissed esther and walked to the head of the table in between esther and finn.
"so Caroline" rebekah started and i looked over at her and smiled " after our chores are done tomorrow, me and Henrik are going to the Falls. would you like to see them with us?" she looked hopeful.
"oh please Caroline, please!" Henrik begged. i smiled how could i deny that puppy dog face... wait omg thats the same face klaus makes. i look over to klaus who was smiling i looked over to henrik and brought my hand to my chin to act like i was deeply thinking about it.
"would i like to go to the falls with you?mhmm. I would love to." i giggled and winked at him. he laughed and winked back. i shook my head still smiling. we made introductions to mikael. klaus was tense but mikael seemed to like him. they carried on a conversation with finn and i could see how tensed his shoulders were.
i listened in on kol and bonnies conversation and they made plans to hang out, i smiled to myself. i sat silently eating, the food wasnt to bad but if i ask what it is im sure i wont be able to stomach it.
i finished and while i waited for everyone to finished i played with a long strand of hair.i wrapped the curl around my finger. i was in my own imagination i didnt hear anyone calling for my attention until i felt klaus nudge me in the arm. i jumped in my seat and looked at him with an eyebrow raised.
then i heard henrik calling for my attention. "Caroline" he asks. i look over at him and smile at him giving him my full attention.
"do you like necklaces?" he asks.
"i do, why do you ask?"
"Niklaus taught me to make necklaces. hes really good at it." henrik shoves a piece of bread in his mouth.
"well thats sounds nice" i replied simply.
"i could make you one, or i could teach you"
"that sounds exciting, i made bracelets once with Bonnie. ive never taken it off." i lifted my sleeve and showed henrik my bracelet. luckily it was just a brown woven bracelet with a light blue thread weaving through it and not something with colorful plastic beads that had letters on them. i looked over at bonnie who lifted her sleeve up to show me her bracelet.
i smiled at her before looking back at henrik. "whoa" he said yanking my arm closer so he could inspect it,i was momentarily glad it was on the wrist that doesnt have my tattoo on. i looked across the table to see 'niklaus looking over at us with a gleam in his eye and a small smile on his lips. i could hear his heart beat fluttering and i smiled to myself.
its about time i get a rise out of him. its even better i can hear his reactions to me. i heard klaus still in a deep conversation. i wondered what he looked and sounded like to them. i shook my head and looked back at henrik.
we finished up and me and bonnie helped esther and rebekah clean up while the guys chatted with each other. i saw niklaus disretely sneak out. i looked around and seen bonnie esther and rebekah in a deep conversation with henrik and decided to get some fresh air. i walked outside and immediately took a deep breath.
i saw niklaus sitting on a wooden bench. i walked over to him and sat at the other end.
"hello Niklaus" i said and couldnt help but giggle a little at his name.
"hello Caroline" he said and i gulped down trying to shake off how he said my name. "what is so funny?"
"nothing it was something i remembered." i shook my head with a smile. "so whats with the escape?" i ask.
"that obvious huh?" he looks up at the darkening sky. i shrugg nonchalantly.
"you seemed upset, i wanted to make sure you are alright" i smiled again.
niklaus smiled and then tilted his head to look at me with a smirk. "im fine, but thank you for your concern" i shrugged again and sighed.
"so thats a pretty unique bracelet you and you friend has" he says "may i?" he looks down at my arm.
"sure, yeah of course" i lifted my arm up and showed him the bracelet." Bonnie actually made this one for me and i made the one she has on"
niklaus smiled and dropped my arm and stood up. "well it was nice chatting with you caroline"
i stood up as well to walk back inside "you too Niklaus" i couldnt help but smile again.
"you can just call me Nik" human klaus says with a smirk, moving closely past me and i look down trying to think up something i couldnt just call him klaus and he wants me to call him nik. i looked up at him again and gave him a small smile.
"nik" i tested it out and his smirked widened before walking back inside. i rolled my eyes. clearly he isnt as innocent as kol...
i walked back in a minute later i caught the eyes of hybrid klaus and shrugged. he clearly heard everything i sighed and turned a little, whispering only low enough klaus would hear.
"klaus" i started to get his attention. he looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "is it okay if i go back to the hut?"
he cleared his throat. "well its getting late, we should be leaving. thank you for dinner, i havent had a meal like that in a long time" klaus said with a smirk. i rolled my eyes.
"yes, thank you for having us over." i say sweetly looking at everyone. i walk over to rebekah and hug her. i whispered in her ear. "i cant wait until tomorrow" i pulled back and smiled at her.
henrik ran over to me and wrapped me in an unexpected hug. i relaxed and hugged him back.
"see you tomorrow Caroline" he said excitedly.
" i can not wait henrik" i said back with the same amount of excitment. i looked up and all eyes were on us. i smiled at henrik again before heading over to klaus and bonnie. we said our goodbyes and headed out. bonnie and klaus walked ahead of me and i was lost in thought again. the only thing that registered was that it was now dark out and my vampire senses adjusted.
i was looking up at the stars instead of where i was going and walked straight in to klaus' chest. i started to fall backwards but he caught me before i hit the ground.
"man klaus why are you stopping in front of me. and you made me fall again..thats twice today." i grumbled still in his arm.
"and ive caught you twice today" he smirks and i huffed. i looked everywhere except his eyes and lips. i could feel his muscles against my 're supose to be friends caroline!
"can we just go get our bags now?" i asked still not looking at him. he straightened up and released me.
"fine" he said and spun on his heel. i followed him into the forest after bonnie was safely back to the hut. we walked to the familiar tree. i jumped to a high branch before continueing up to the top.
i grabbed both bags and brought them down to the bottom. klaus motioned for me to hand him a bag so i gave him bonnies with a smirk. i handed it to him and watched as the unexpected weight of the bag nearly rip his arm off.
"what in the bloody hell" klaus grumbles while i laugh.
"yeah about that, bonnie brought a few grimoires" i said shaking my head " why do you think i was carrying her bag earlier" i asked raising a brow.
he shook his head and we both flashed back to the hut avoiding a few of the villiagers along the way. i dropped my bag on the bed and opened it up and got a bag of chips out. Bonnie looked up and smiled.
we sat on the bed and ate the chips. "do you want some Klaus?" i asked gesturing to the chips. he shakes his head no and continues.
"you do realize it will be over a year before you get to eat some good junk food right" i raised an eyebrow and he sighed. he walked over and grabbed a chip and shoved it in his mouth giving me an 'are you happy now' look.
me and bonnie both got out an old t-shirt and some shorts and went behind the sheet of a wall to change. "oh i remember that shirt bon" i said looking at it."didnt Matty give that to you when that kid spilt his slushy on you at that one amusment park what was it kings dominion? remember alot of the girls got extremly jealous."
"yeah, but hey nobody was complaining when matt took his shirt off" bonnie joked.
"hey, been there done that" i winked and bon shook her head with a smile.
"i remember. didnt walk in on you two?"
"a few times, ugh i hate Kelly." i say remembering how i tried so hard to make her like me but she was always nothing but a bitch. "Matty deserves so much better" i sighed.
"i know" bonnie replies sadly. we both walk back out to the cots and i pull out my small throw blanket that i brought with me."it feels a life time ago"
"it was" i said sadly before walking out.
me and bonnie laid down and i covered us both up with my blanket. i undid my braids and laid down, falling asleep instantly.
i woke up and it was still dark. only the fire luminated the small hut. i looked around and both klaus and bonnie were asleep. i got up and peeked out the window. i seen nobody i cautiously walked out side closing the door quietly then flashed into the woods. i seen a deer licking a leaf.
stocking closer i flashed to the deer and broke its neck. i felt my vampire face reveal itself and i sank my teeth in and the blood immediately pooled in my mouth. it wasnt human but it will do.
as soon as i finished i dropped the deers body to the ground and heard a sound behind me. i spun around with vampire speed and saw klaus casually leaning against a tree.
i made myself calm down and focused on my breathing and not the blood lust, i closed my eyes and instantly felt the veins under my eyes disappear and my fang retract. i reopened my eyes and klaus had a smirk on his face.
i brought my hand up to my mouth and wiped any blood away.
"why did you follow me?" i asked.
"dangerous times love..." he said with an eye roll.
"its not a full moon so i doubt theres anything more dangerous out here than me...other than you!"
klaus put a hand over his heart and made a mocking hurt face."ouch love, that hurt"
i laughed and turned walking towards the falls, i heard klaus following me. i looked behind me and made a face.
"what?" he asked innocently.
"i feel like you are babysitting me klaus." i pouted, knowing he wouldnt leave me alone. i saw an apple tree ahead and jumped up and grabbed an apple before landing swiftly back on my feet.
i brought my shirt up and wiped the apple clean before taking a bite. i heard the water flowing and i followed the sound. i stopped before the edge of the trees seeing a figure on a boulder. i squinted trying to see who it was until i caught the scent and stiffened.
klaus must not have noticed me stop because he walked right into me, causing me to fly into the water.
im starting to think he pushed me. as soon as i resurfaced, i notice that klaus was standing ontop a high branch in a tree smirking down at me with my apple but before i could react human klaus rushed over.
"are you alright?" nik asks.
"im fine, thank you" i sighed crossing my arms trying not to take my frustrations out on the human him. i looked back up to hybrid klaus and he was now sitting watching us on a branch.
human klaus straightened up and smiled crossing his arms too.
"so what brings you to the falls in the middle of the night" he asks while squinting at me as if i was stocking him.
"apparently i thought id come out for a swim" i opened my arms wide over the surface of the water. i dipped back under to fix my hair before resurfacing.
"yup, you look pretty wet from where im standing" nik smirks down at me his eyes wandering to my now wet white tshirt. i look up and see the hybrid clutching his stomach trying not to make a sound from laughing.
i smiled and looked at the human. i splashed him and he straightened.
"you look a little wet now too..." i said in a joking voice. "here help me out" i lifted my hand up to him, and he took it. i yanked him in the water with me causing a large splash. moments later klaus comes back to the surface.
"now you really look wet!" i giggled splashing him again. he rolled his eyes.
"i surrender" he said raiseing his arms up.
"im going to hold you to that later" i said smiling.
" i dont understand" he said and i smiled brighter i turned away from him and looked up at the trees to look dead in klaus' eyes.
"i know" i said calling back pulling myself out the water. i ringed out my shirt. realising it was now see through and you could see my bright red bra through it, even in the dark. i sighed and started ringing out my shorts. i turned back to human klaus who was starring at me. i realised that my attire is all wrong.
and im probably way under dressed for the times. i cleared my throat and put a hand on my hip when he didnt look away. his face instantly reddened, if i were human i would have missed it. he dropped his eyes and looked away from me causing me to smile.
"sweet dreams, Nik" i said sweetly before turning away.
"good night C-Caroline" he said flustered and kept his eyes away. i looked up and nodded to klaus to follow me. i walked through the woods hearing human klaus getting further and further away. i felt a slight gush of wind and looked up while ringing out my hair.
"that was real cute klaus!" i grumbled. "you did that on purpose didnt you"
"i did, and i quite enjoyed it. you know i share his memories, so before you two hit it off just know...that i know." he said with an evil smirk. my eyes widened and i looked at him stopping where i was. "plus the view isnt bad at all" his eyes wandered to my shirt and my eyes followed his.
"you act like you have never seen a woman shirtless" i roll my eyes thinking of the thousand years worth of woman before adding a little lower " or me" i grumbled.
"is that jealousy i hear?" i didnt have to look up to know he was smirking i just kept walking and shook my head.
"absolutely not!" i ran my fingers through my hair trying to get the knots out. i flashed into the hut before klaus could come and pulled out a long red night gown. i yanked off my wet shirt and pulled the gown over before pulling my shorts and under wear off. i put clean underwear on and took my bra off before it would wet my gown. i heard klaus walk in just then and i didnt face him.
i gathered my clothes and walked past him to go back outside and lay my clothes out on a stump to air dry. i walked back in and brushed my hair out and laid back down not even glanceing back at him. i wrapped the covers around me and bonnie and went back to sleep.
i peaked my eyes open to the slight sunlight slipping through. i heard a faint knock and went to open the door. i seen rebekah standing there but not alone human klaus was there also. "good morning" i said before both their eyes widened, i got worried
"whats wrong?" i asked. klaus looked down to his feet and rebekah looked at my gown.
"you are in your night wear" she said disbelieveingly.
"soo?" i shrugged as if it werent a big deal which it isnt."where are my manner please come in. sorry everyone is still asleep. ill wake them." they both walked in and stood there awkwardly. i gestured to the chair and they both sat down.
"klaus" i poked his shoulder but no response.
"klaus wake up" i said loudly, he sat up startled and i smiled "its time to get up." i said cheerily clearly seeing he will be a grump today. i walked over to bonnie and gently woke her. she opened her eyes the first time i called her name.
"bon its time to get up."
"okay i guess" she grumbled and i laughed.
"why arent you and klaus sleeping together?" rebekah bluntly asks and me and klaus froze. i looked at rebekah and then smiled before looking at klaus..
"we had a little spat last night... but im over it" i said and klaus started laughing. yup im using his own words against him. me and bonnie got ready in the other room with dresses the klaus had stolen for us.
"ugh klaus stop getting dresses i cant put on alone!" i grumbled nearly falling on my face.
"need some help love?" klaus said and i could hear both bekah and human klaus chuckle.
"uh no..." i said bluntly.
i walked out a few minutes later and klaus laughed at me... i looked down confused.
"what klaus!" i furrowed my brow and crossed my arms over my chest.
"you put this"he got up and walk to me and touched something on my waist" on backwards" he took it off and fixed it. i glared at him all the while. bonnie was sitting at the table eating something.
"we're ready...lets go" i said walking out the door. klaus walked out and handed me and bonnie both a basket and some coins. i looked down confused.
"groceries and other things" he said under his breath and i nodded. we were all outside the hut now and klaus looked up at me evily. i raised an eyebrow as he stocked closer to me. i was instantly frozen.
"what are you doing klaus" i said in a discret whisper looking at him warily.
"now what will the villagers think if i didnt kiss my wife good bye" he said in the same tone. i gulped down and shook my head. he put his arm on my waist and brought me closer.
"that you love your wife so much you arent making her go through such torture" i said. i couldnt do anything. he was right there were villiager watching, rebekah and human klaus was watching.
"i know of plenty ways that are pleasurably torturous, sweet heart" he said lowly as he leaned in and kissed me but i turned my head and smirked so he kissed the corner of my mouth and most of my cheek.
"hmp" i said releasing him from my body and stood next to bonnie. bonnie looked at me with a smile and i semi glared at her."this is going to be a long two months" i whispered to her.
human klaus walked over to hybrid klaus and they walked away and we followed rebekah.
"so you and klaus dont look all that cozy" rebekah stated. i looked up under my lashes to try to read her expression. i sighed. she knows when i am lying anyways.
"can i trust you?" i ask.
"absolutly" she stated as if i was about to offend her trustworthy skills.
"me and klaus arent really married. he just likes telling people that, and its better to just humor him...believe me. he can be such an ass, but we're friends." i said while glancing at bonnie.
"oh. okay so hes single?" she said with a wicked smile creeping back on her lips.
"um no hes gay" i said with a smile.
we got to the market. which was just a place outside with what looked like wooden lemonade stands. they had vendors with foods, clothing, animal skins, candles, etc. there were a few guys there and lots of woman walking about.
bonnie went to the food and i went to the animal skins. i got some to use as blankets and walked over to bonnie after getting a few candles to help her with more groceries. i stood next to bonnie looking down at some green beans in a basket.
"we should make a garden." i looked at bonnie who shrugged. looking up i could see some of the men approaching us. i cleared my throat and bonnie looked up.
"hello mi'ladies" one man said chuckling with a slight bow looking over his shoulder to his lackies.
me and bonnie looked at each other and did an awkward curtsie at the same time, neither saying a word.
another man walked up to bonnie, useing his hand and swept her hair behind her shoulder. i could see her stiffen but before i could react to even compel them to just leave someone was behind me grabbing my waist. i started to struggle but then realized the grip was one i'd never escape. i looked up and seen klaus holding me glareing at the men.
i glanced at bonnie who has kol now beside her, also glaring at the men, and was now holding her hand. the other had a sword, i gave a small smile to bonnie when she glanced my way. kol started speaking to the men.
" sorry but these are our woman" he said cheekily while placeing a kiss on bonnie lips before looking at the was completely surprised and i saw her cheeks start to redden at that. well this is going to be fun. that was untill the men looked at me and klaus as if they needed proof.
"we need to kiss caroline" klaus said in my ear so low nobody could hear but me. i looked at the guys infront of me who raised an eyebrow."a real one"
i took a deep breath before turning slightly so i wasnt completely facing klaus. i reached up and grabbed his face while his arms still were around my waist and i inched closer to his lips. i looked him in the eyes and saw him smirk. i rolled my eyes before closing them.
as soon as our lips locked i forgot that it was for show, i turned completly to face him while his arms were still around me. i felt klaus lick my bottom lip and i had to repress a moan. i gently pulled away and opened my eyes to see klaus with a wolfish grin on his face.
i rolled my eyes again and looked back at the men who were now grumbling.
"come on ladies lets walk you home" kol said still with bonnies hand. they started walking infront of us and she glanced over her shoulder and raised an eyebrow over to me with a slight smile.
"what about rebekah?" i asked stopping in my tracks to look around for her.
"shes already back at her hut" klaus said and i nod.
i was paying attention to bonnie and kols conversation now.
"sorry for the stolen kiss bonnie" kol said looking down at his feet while they were walking." but i noticed them guys while we were walking through and they dont have a good reputation among the people..."
"kol mikaelson apologises for a stolen kiss, thats a first" bonnie nudges him and they both smile "but seriously you dont have to say sorry about kissing me... you saw i needed some help and you helped. to bad i didnt get to use my awesome skills and fight them off myself" bonnie says sarcastically.
"please tell me youre joking?" kol asks wide eyed in disbelief.
"i wouldnt underestimate her kol" i said butting in the conversation sucessfully distracting kol long enough for bonnie to sweep his legs out from under him and land ontop of him to save his head from hitting the ground
"whoa" kol says a little winded as bonnie smirks and stands up reaching her hand out for kol to grab. "now thats a woman"
bonnie laughs at his expression and they continue walking. we made it to the hut. i left the group in the front and walked around the back of the hut looking around. i set the basket down on a stump. and went to the one with my clothes from the previous night. i started to fold my clothes before looking around at the landscape of the 'backyard' i picked out where i wanted the garden. i walked around grabbig a few sticks and set them down behind the hut.
i grabbed a bigger branch with a sharper edge and started raking the dirt up and digging with it were i want the garden to be. by the time i was done there was a large square of loose dirt ready to be used. i walked to the basket grabbing a few of the seeds i got and walked to the garden i made lines to follow and planted some green beans, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots,corn.
i smiled to myself hoping this will work. ill get bonnie to make it grow faster so she can the food. i stood up and tried to wipe most of the dirt off my dress and walked to the front of the hut where there was a pot i lifted it and started walking toward the falls. i filled it up and started walking back.
i was half way there when i seen human klaus walking through the woods.
i smiled at him but started to keep walking. he raised an eyebrow at me and walked forward."may i ask what you are doing?"
"im getting water for my garden". i look down and realized that it should be too heavy for me to carry alone. i set it down and flexed my arms acting like it was too much.
"would you mind helping me?" i ask with a smile lifting the pot again.
"of course" he said smiling back. and grabbed one side of the pot while we walked back off to the hut. we had to stop a few times so klaus could rest his arms and i acted as though i had to do the same.
we finally made it back and we set the pot down by the garden.
"thank you" i say with a bright smile and hugged him before i caught myself. but before i could pull away he hugged me too. i smiled knowing hybrid klaus would probably never do this. i pulled away and looked down.
i walked and grabbed smaller bowls and dipped them inside the pot. i started watering the garden where i put the seeds. klaus came over and helped me. once we finished i looked at him for a minute debating on inviting him. i looked over and shrugged, its no big deal.
"im going to the falls once i change to meet henrik and rebekah, would you like to join me?"
"what about klaus?" he asks looking around and i noticably roll my eyes.
"what about him?" i question.
"wont he be joining? he is your husband...i should not even be here." he said that last part lowly if i wasnt a vampire i wouldnt have caught it.
"he's not joining, hes more of a nuisence of an arrangment i was unaware of until recently." was all i said and looked away. when i looked back up i seen klaus smiling at me.
"what?" i ask while my hands fly to my hair " is there something in my hair or something?"
"no, its nothing and your hair is perfect" klaus smiles a little wider before looking down at his feet and glancing up slightly at me. gah its such an adorable expression. i couldnt help the laugh that escaped me as i thought of the big bad hybrid ever being adorable.
i start walking in the hut. i grabbed a simple tan dress. i shrugged off the one i had on and put the simple and clean one on. i walked back out to human klaus and we started walking to the falls.
when we got there i saw henrik walking along the line of the falls and rebekah in the grass playing with flower pedals. henrik saw us and immediately ran over to klaus and wrapped him in a hug.
rebekah stood up and ran over to klaus grabbing him in a hug as well. i watched as they stood together talking for a second. they werent paying attention to me and there was nobody else around so i flashed to the small bolder by the big one. i lifted my dress and left my feet to dangle in the water.
i closed my eyes and tried to feel what little bit of warmth i could from the sun.i heard someone approaching and opened my eyes to see henrik walking to me.
"hello handsome" i say with a smile and a wiggle of my brows.
he sits down next to me." im glad you came i was getting bored" henrik said while chuckling a bit. he picked up some stones and threw them into the the water.
"do you know how to make them skip" i ask and he looks at me funny.
"here watch" i grab a stone from him and tossed it in the water. it skipped six times over the surface of the water. i looked at him and he had a look of amazment on his face.
"will you teach me" he asks excitedly.
" just watch me and do what i do." i grabbed another stone it was really flat and i flung it over the water. i watched henrik try and it just sank i smiled and grabbed his hand.
"here, just flick your wrist" i moved his arm and showed him how. i let his arm go so he could do it on his own.
he looked at the stone in his hand and back at the water and flicked it in. that stone skipped across the surface of the water eight times. i looked over at his face before it could finish skipping and he had the biggest grin. i looked up and klaus and rebekah was looking at me. the next thing i know i have a pair of arms hugging me while laughing and yelling 'yes i did it!'
i returned the hug and looked back at henrik. "thanks for showing me that" he stood up and walked over to rebekah. i stood up and walked over a minute later.
"that was amazing caroline, where did you learn how to do that?"rebekah asks.
"my friend Matt taught me when we were younger" i shrugged and sat in the grass next to rebekah. she resumed picking flowers. and i did the same. they were pretty, small, white and yellow flowers. she looks over to my hair and puts some flowers through my braids.
"your hair is so pretty" rebekah said while running her hands through my curls i smiled at her and then looked at klaus.
"well today must really be a good hair day since my hair is perfect and pretty" i gloated "but thank you, and your hair is genuinly amazing" i say with a sweet smile while klaus chuckles.
it started getting darker and i stood up. "i should get back" i bent and hugged rebekah. when i let her go klaus and henrik was both already standing. i turned and hugged henrik, i let him go and looked up at klaus and gave him a friendly hug before walking away.
i heard someone clear their throats. i peaked over my shoulder and saw both henrik and rebakah elbowing klaus for starring at me. i laughed quietly to myself and kept walking. after i was out of eyesight i flashed back to the hut. bonnie was sitting at a table again eating.
"hey bon" i said walking past her squeezing her shoulder.
"hey care, where have you been?" she asks.
"yeah where have you been?" klaus asks walking in from the other side of the curtain with just low pants on...no shirt. i stared at his chest before making my eyes focus on his face i had to really focus on what i was suppose to reply. he had a knowing smirk on his face and i rolled my eyes.
"i was at the falls with the other you, rebekah and henrik...as if you dont know that already though." i slyly replied back before plopping down on the bed.
"what ever do you mean sweet caroline" klaus asks and i rolled my eyes at the new nickname.
"dont call me that, and you said you share memories so dont act like you dont already know." i said and flung my arm over my eyes concentrating. Bonnie may be my best friend but right now im running on a deer from the previous night and all i can really hear is her blood pumping and her heart beating. i composed myself before i sat up and walked to bonnie.
"ill be back in a sec i forgot to grab something" i said and she nodded shoving some bread in her mouth. i walked out and down the village. i seen a man and woman walking along a path holding hands. i flashed to them and looked the girl in her eyes.
"go home and forget you saw me" i said and she left in a trance. the man looked at me with a stunned look on his face. i looked him over and he was attractive. i smiled at the man and locked eyes "follow me" i compelled.
"i will follow you" he said. i smiled again and started walking further in the woods with him following. when we were far enough away i pushed him against the tree.
he had a surprised and amused look on his face and i rolled my eyes. "dont be afraid and be quiet" i said and my face changed. he looked at me with wide eyes but then went back to normal. i tilted his head and moved his hair out the way. i bit into his neck and felt his blood pooling in my mouth.
i was to far gone to even notice his hands wrap around my waist. i heard him moan a little and pulled back. his heart beat slowed so i knew i had to stop anyways. i havent had blood from the vein in awhile and i almost didnt want to stop now.
this entire thing feels wrong, but right but the stefan diet isnt going to work and its not like there is blood bags around here. ill have to deal with my conscience later, right now i need to block my emotions. i removed my teeth from his neck but left my mouth in place so the pool of blood would gradually stop. i removed my mouth and looked down at his arms around my waist.
i grabbed his hands and moved them to his side awkwardly. i looked at his neck wound and flinched a little.
"sorry that looks bad, i dont normally drink from people" i said biting in my wrist, i was about to feed him but then stopped. i cant have him dying with my blood in his system. i dropped my wrist and felt my skin knit back together.
"you will forget you ever saw me. if anyone asks about the bite on your neck just say your lady friend likes to get kinky"
"my lady friend likes to get kinky" he said dazed.
"now go home and forget what really happened tonight" i ended my complusion and he turned and walked away. i stood there not moving trying to turn my guilt off. i heard a sound and turned around and saw klaus standing there with wide eyes...human klaus.
he looked at my face, which was still vamped out and i breathed in deeply still starring at klaus and calmed face going back to normal. his gaze went down to my lips and i wiped the blood off and started to walk near him.
he took a step back. i put my hands up.
"Nik i wont hurt you i promise, just please dont freak out." i said trying to calm him. i took another step closer and he backed up.
"please stop...y-your a monster" he studdered scared. low blow...
"i know" my voice softened while my eyes watered and i looked down trying to calm myself again. but this time from my grief. i looked up and klaus turned to run. i sighed and flashed infront of him. i put my arms on his shoulder and stopped him. he came to a halt eyes wide.
he unexpectedly threw his arms up and knocked my grasp off. momentairly stunned i almost flashed a smile at him but contained myself and pushed him gently to a tree.
"its okay nik" i said blinking away the water in my eyes and he shook his head no.
"you will forget you saw me like this. the last time you saw me was at the falls earlier tonight. go back to your hut and forget everything you saw tonight, just know you need not be afraid of me. i wouldnt hurt you" i looked at his face after i compelled him. it was blank and then as soon as he blinked i flashed away leaving him there alone.
i walked back in our hut grabbing the basket of stuff from the market that i left out side along the way. i set the basket down on the and bonnie were both already asleep so i gratefully changed into sweat pants and a large t-shirt. i grabbed a hairtie and threw my hair up in a high pony tail , still trying to avoid tears. klaus didnt have a blanket so i took the blanket i got earlier and pulled it on him.
i walked over to the candles and set them on the table with a few other things. i walked over to the bed and laid down closing my eyes softly. i put my face in my hands and sighed softly rubbing my temples before evening out my breathing. i closed my eyes and tried to clear my head and push all thoughts away before falling asleep.
A/N: i hope you enjoyed that, leave me a review. sorry for any mistakes.
