Here is the second chapter of wild rose, please let me know what you think.I will be working on something different for the next drabble I post on here, but in no way dose not mean its the end of this story.
Klaus head felt like it was pounding as he slowly tried to open his eyes.
"You're awake." The person next to him yelled.
"Don't scream Bekah."
"I'm not, yelling." Rebekah replied lunging forward to give him a hug.
"You had us so worried Nik." Klaus could hear the relief in her voice that he had work up.
"I'm fine." He informed her as he brought his hand to his head that was hurting like hell.
"You're not fine, Nik."Pulling away Rebekah looked at her brother, once again tears building up as the door forced open.
"I told you to get me when he wakes, child. "Mikael spited out as he slammed the door close. Causing the wall to shake and drop one of Klaus frame painting to fall.
"What have you done, boy?" He demanded, as he came forward towards the siblings. "You were told to do one thing, and you can't even do that."
"Father Maybe."
"Stay out of this. I'll deal with you later," He yelled at Rebekah who looked down at her hands.
"Father I have no clue of what you're talking about." Klaus raised his voice trying to get Mikael's attention back at him.
"What that you were a drunken fool," He informed him as everything started rushing back to Klaus. "And to top it all..." As a knock came to the door cutting Mikael off.
"What." He yelled towards the door his face getting redder by the irruption.
"Sorry sir, but you have a visitor. That wish to see you immediately," The maid said as she step aside.
"Earl Mikaelson, excuse me for having arrived unannounced." Caroline smiled over to them as she passed the threshold of Klaus room. Klaus took her in, looking even more stunning if possible in her yellow dress and swept up hair. Her pristine white gloves place on her hands. A young lady following behind her.
"You're royal highness," Mikael said as he bowed. Causing Klaus to scowl from his spot of the bed, sending her a questioning look.
"You're royal highness?"
"Caroline. I thought we were meeting tomorrow. You need your rest from the long journey." Rebekah question her friend.
"Rebekah," Her father called out as she quickly had bowed down, having forgotten.
"It's quite alright Earl Mikaelson. The sister don't like for them to do that at school." Caroline lined through her teeth. When they had first meet in school Rebekah was the only person who always was truly kind and honest. So as their friendship grow Caroline begged Rebekah to not treat her as a princes but as a sister, something Rebekah struggled with at first.
"I have actually came to check on your son. Especially after his help with the axle of my carriage. If not for him I'll still be stuck out in that rain." Smiling over to Klaus, "It was a blessing that we ran into each other, I just feel truly bad that he end up sick for trying to help us. I actually made him some of my grandmother favorite soup. I hope you don't mind." She told Mikael.
"NO. There's no problem at all Princess, I'm sure Klaus would enjoy It." turning back sending him a glare.
"It's very kind of you," Klaus replied.
"Wonderful." Caroline smiled. "Lady Katherine will help me set it up for him, I was hoping I could have some time with the fine gentlemen who saved me." Smiling sweetly as she made her way further into the room.
"Yes," Mikael replied quickly. "Will leave you two to it. If you need anything let us know. Come now Rebekah. "Mikael ushered himself and the young blond out the room but not before giving Klaus a warning look once again.
As the brunette made her way into the room with Caroline's belongings, the blonde stopped her, "I have it Katherine" As the brunette raised an eyebrow placing down the basket she was carrying.
"Why don't you go speak with Rebekah?" She smiled to her friend.
"Your highness that would not be proper." The brunette teased with a smile.
"Will leave the door open. If you like you can even stand outside and eardrop." Smiling over to her lady as she nodded.
"I'll go fetch you some tea." Opening the door widely.
"Make sure this stays open Caroline." Katherine warned emphasizing her name. as she made her way out.
Caroline smiled over to her friend as she turned back to look at Klaus with a closed smile.
"How are you feeling?" She ask taking out the silverware she had brought, and placed it on the night table by his bed, slowly pouring some soup into a bowl. "Well if you still feel like death this will help you." She told him as she took a place near him on the bed with the soap she poured in hand "My mother used to love giving me this when I was young and feeling sick, the next day I would feel all better. " scooping some soup onto a spoon.
"Your highness." Where the first words he spoke directly at her as he pulled away from her.
"Oh, sorry. You might want to feed yourself. I was just thinking you might still feel weak." She stood up placing the soup towards the side.
"No, I'm fine. Thank you." Klaus said shortly, as he let out a small chuckle. "You must think I'm a fool. "He told her.
"Excuse me," She asked.
"You must take me as a drunken fool, your royal highness "
"Caroline," She scowled. "Call me Caroline." She told him
"My lady I don't think that's proper at all." He said pulling the sheets closer as he looked away.
"Lord Klaus we know each other's darkest secrets, I think we're past the point of proper" reminding him of their conversations.
"I hope you don't think Rebekah took any part of my father scheme to seduce you" he stated as he let out a laugh. "What you must think of my family, of me. With our plan to seduce the princess, you must of had a good laugh." Tightening his fist as he spoke.
"In no way do I think of you as a fool. I saw you that night as a kind man who actually thought of how I would feel." Walking back to be near him.
"As I told you yesterday's you're not the first to try and seduce me, but you're the first to actually care about me as a person not a means to an end. " As she took a seat on his bed. Klaus looked over at her, for the first time since they were left alone. She knew he was embarrassed and it seemed like something he did not like.
"As for your sister. She is my best friend and because of that she has told me about your father." Slipping her had out of her glove to reach for his hand, tracing the small scar Mikael had left there one day when he whipped him with the whip because his horse had escape from the stables.
Klaus pulled his hand away from her as he look once again out the window. "I take that why you came up with your story."
"Well that and because it would not do good for any of our reputation if they knew about passage "smiling at him
"But I also came today to tell you. That you do not need to seduce me as your father asked you. Also you do not need to worry about Rebekah dowry. If the situation ever came that she would need money, I would gladly pay for it. "she told him honestly
As Klaus looked back at her he nodded his head "Thank you."
"No thanks needed."
"Not just for Rebekah, but for all of it."
Caroline smiled at him "Well I had to, I wouldn't want your father to kill my fiancé "
Klaus eyes shot out, causing Caroline to laugh.
"Your hin.." as Klaus shot her a look. "Caroline, I meant no offences."
"Klaus I'm joking. But it was nice to be proposed too for at last once." The sadness in her eyes for the first time, since they meet. But Klaus now understood why she hadn't told him who she was last, she want the normalcy that every young women had. To maybe one day be proposed too and not be forced to marry a man she might not love for the convince of the country.
"Plus, you have to do a little more seducing for me to say yes to that proposal."
"I'll keep that it mind for the future," Smirking over at her.
"For the future?" Raising an eyebrow at him.
"Well Mr. Mikaelson, seems that you are feeling better."
"What can I say, your presences had helped me truly." Caroline leaned over and placed a kiss on his cheek. Surprising Klaus truly as she just stayed there shocked.
"I'm happy you're feeling better. " Smiling at him as Klaus places his hand over hers.
"Your highness. " Kathrine came into to the room braking the moment, as she came in with tea giving Caroline a knowing star as she stood up quickly, and took a seat on the chair across from Klaus.
"Thank you Kathrine that be all"
"You're Highness"
"Will just be a couple more minutes, Kat." She told her lady as the brunet nodded her head and walked out the room giving Klaus a glear.
"Sorry about, that Kathrine's is very protective of me. "
"I can tell."
"She has a hard time trusting new people, especially if she thinks they might hurt my reputation."
"I would never."
"I know, like I said Klaus I trust you." As she stood up. "I should Let you rest," walking towards the door.
"Will you be attending the first winter party?"
Caroline smiled, "I kind of need to attend"
"Oh, yes. I forgot it's in your honor."
"More like they just want an excuse to spend the night gossiping, and hoping one of their sons seduce me into marriage" Winking at him.
"Save me your first and last place on your dance card."
"If you play your cards right." Laughing as she walked out the room also placing a genuine smile on his face.
