Chapter 4

A/N Just to clarify, this is a Klaroline fanfic, Klaus will come in soon dont worry.

Also i feel obligated to remind you, Abi is the Earth name for Ariel(Archangel of protection), Carter is the Earth name for Azrael(Archangel of death) because i feel like it's confusing when i swap the names.

Heaven 36 hours ago

An immense gathering was beginning in the main hall of God, angels gossiping on the recent event, debating on what the best thing is to do in this situation. It had only just been revealed to the Angel Court of this impossible pregnancy, causing riot in Heaven's sanctuary, something that they've spent the past couple of centuries trying to avoid has caught up to them.

The angels know that although the children that are to be born aren't of real blood to the vampire carrying them, they still pose a threat to nature's balance; they'll be born with an unnatural amount of power, absorbing that which is in the mother. Their fate was to die in the womb with the original mother, if these babies are born, they will become the first out of the living and none living, to escape fate, giving them a life with no destiny and the ability to change what is to happen to themselves at the end of it all; their survival will cause a permanent crease in nature, with it being constantly unbalanced, and anyone who withholds such information will be able to manipulate it to their will.

The Magistrate court's bells began to ring, forcing silence upon the Angels and dead spirits. A small, round figure stepped out of the buildings doors, summoning several Archangels of Heaven into office, the future of these babies was at that point, in their hands.

Inside the grand hall, marble pillars reached high with perfectly crafted sculptures of famous Biblical tales in between each pillar, all in chronological order, gold weaved through the bricks of the floor and around the ridges of the pillar, most certainly a heavenly sight.

The Archangels followed to small round character into an even larger room, much like a court but instead of wooden furniture and walls, it was of course marble and some parts quartz. They sat at arranged seats, the small man making his way to the 'judge's' seat, with a name plate in front of him reading 'Metatron: Scribe of God'.

Silencing the room again with a few slams of the golden hammer on the table in front of him Metatron began;

"Court is at hand" he shouted, his voice impatient, resonating through the court. The room went silent for a moment before everyone took a seat.

"I know that no one wants to be here, and I also know that it has been a good 1000 years of not having to be here but the Lord himself requested this, even he is at a dilemma at this point. It is my job as scribe to write the fate of all living creatures, but let me first say this, I know what everyone is thinking, 'What are we going to do with these babies?' well that's not the question right now, the question is, what would we do if they lived, we need to consider all of our options, because let's face it, who is ever enthusiastic to take the life of two unborn babies" Before he could completely finish, an all out word war took place for a fair few hours until they reached a decision.

*A few hours later*

"So have we come to a final decision? Who votes for the survival of the children, bearing in mind that if we allow their survival, their lives will be under surveillance and 24/7 security, we would need a witch to volunteer their life to suppress the twins' powers and prevent their pro-creation until their deaths," with a sigh Metatron wiped his forehead as he counted the raised hands,

"who votes for the termination of the children, saving the lives of many and allowing them a peaceful rest, as well as restoring nature's balance" before he could finish, the majority of the room already had their arms in the air, and discussions beginning again between the angels that disagreed with them. Moments before he could finalize the choice with the famous 'hammer slam' the doors burst open and a very angry Archangel stormed in.

"METATRON!' Her voice probably loud enough that Earth could have heard it, "How could you?! You know that I should be here, I'm head of the freaking JURY. You brought in all of the Archangels in and thought you would get away with avoiding me, how DUMB do you think I am" Ariel marched forward, her heels clicking so loud you could assume that Earth was suffering a storm of some kind. She kept going until she was directly in front of Metatron, her feet stopping square in front of his desk, he glared at her and before she knew it he had slammed the hammer on the plaque "Court is adjourned"

Ariel's voice wavered down to a whisper, "what did you do"

"I had no choice, if you were to be here you would have attempted to change the plans-"

"IT'S A TRIAL, YOU NEED ALL THE JURY THERE FOR IT TO BE FAIR," She stopped and glanced around at the staring faces before clearing her throat and looking back to Metatron "I'm sorry, let me repeat myself one last time, what did you do"

"The pregnancy is to be terminated, at all costs, collateral damage is just that"

Ariel shut her eyes tightly, as if trying to wake up from a dream and when she spoke again, her voice was sharp and snappy "So you just condemned the lives of two unborn children as well as possibly the life of the mother?" Ariel's voice didn't shake or quiver, it merely got angrier and louder, echoing in the silent hall."Who do you even know that will take it upon themselves to do such a sin? Because I doubt anyone wants to defy our father's commandments for a situation that could be easily contained".

She turned around to face the rest of the court, her hair whipping so fast it almost took out one of Metatron's eyes.

"Stand up the person who will lower them self enough to murder this family, who is going to be the one that no one will respect but everyone will only look at in disgust as you would be the one who took the lives of these children?" She paused for a second, smirking slightly "who knows, maybe by killing these innocent children, your grace might become tainted", she then rose a hand to her chest and gasping sarcastically, "I'll be sure to pray for you if the Fallen Angel himself sees this taint, he is still recruiting his demons I hear, I'm sure he'll be happy to accept a murderer"

The room was silent, everyone looked around, realizing the cost of their choice, every Angel's nightmare was losing their Grace, or worse, it becoming tainted and attracting attention from the darker parts of afterlife. There was no movement for several moment until a figure at the back of the room slowly rose, chiselled face smug and perfect lips up in a smirk, when he spoke his voice was husky but the arrogance evident, "I'll take that as a challenge babe"

Ariel struck her eyes onto the figure, "Azrael, of course you wouldn't be afraid of a little taint, im sure it'll work wonders for your personality," He only rolled his eyes at her comment "why did I even have to ask"

"Maybe because you wanted me to speak to you, it's been a while sweetheart, you must be missing me." He made his way so that he was in front of Ariel, only an arms distance away "I'd love to chat, truly, but unfortunately I'm busy, I have a new assignment, there are some unborn babies I have to send up here"

Ariel scowled at her former partner, "WOW really?" sarcasm drowning her reply "what a coincidence" she turned to Metatron "I've just landed myself a new assignment too!"

"What might that be" Azrael's echo lingered behind her, Ariel replied "I have two unborn babies to protect", and with that Ariel's eyes shone an electric blue and she was gone.

Present time

Caroline's POV

My brain feels like it's actually about to explode, first I find out I'm pregnant due to a witchy voodoo sort of transplant after the real mother was murdered, then I'm kidnapped and taken to I don't even know where I am, I find out that my kidnapper is a freaking angel, whom I should really be calling my 'Guardian' because beforehand she saved me from the, very much real, angel of Death who is after killing me and my magical babies as well as the whole apparent Heaven, but the final straw has revealed itself; my Guardian and my prosecutor used to date?

I hadn't realized how long I was in my own mind for, I must have been staring for a good minute or so, more or less making the situation even harder to handle.

"But I mean, it ended like a millennium ago, and I mean, it wasn't ever gonna work out, so like yeah um" Abi continued awkwardly, obviously not knowing what to say

"Oh, oh right, okay" come on Caroline, is that all you can say "Well i guess we've all had a relationship like that, I could understand heh", is all I could muster up, what else was there possibly to say.

I realized at that moment how thirsty I was. I quickly headed to the fridge, my thirst making me completely oblivious to the fact that I was in some random motel room so there was a 0.4738282% chance that there would actually be blood there, specifically B+. Onward I went however, less and less confident that there would be blood to quench my thirst but before I could reach the handle, Abi's slightly higher pitched voice called out;

"OH, if you're looking for blood I have a cooler in the bathroom, I didn't want anyone walking in and coming across blood bags in the fridge, we'd seem crazy" she finished with a small laugh, pointing the way to the bathroom.

I nodded in thanks and sped off in the direction she pointed at as to not let the hunger overwhelm me. When I'd lifted the lid, the sweet smell of B+ reached my senses and I had to compress a smile, how long had I gone without blood?

I grabbed a bag and started drinking, I went slowly, in an attempt to not go over board and let it consume me, I managed to stop when the bag was half empty and started heading back out slowly.

"Hey Abi? How did you know what my favourite was?" I asked before I reached the main room, curious considering I hadn't even said anything about blood in the time we'd been in each other's presence, "or was it just a coincidence?"

"I can know what I need to know and when I need to know, it's like having an encyclopaedia for a brain" she said with a breeze, as if she hadn't just told me that she can know every little secret about me if she wanted.

I giggled and when I looked up to smile at her I noticed she had started packing everything up

"Are we leaving already? I thought we were safe for now?"

"We were safe but as you said, people already know where you are, we need to start over, but considering we've actually had more time now to introduce ourselves, I thought we'd do it better. I can take you back to your dorm where you can pack your necessities and say goodbye" She finished her sentence just as she finished packing, she left the keys on the counter and was already heading out before I could even protest, "besides I feel bad for not explaining to your two friends exactly what was going on, you should probably call them, just to tell them that you're coming back, and to not try and kill me this time"

I chuckled at her tone of the last part of that sentence, before I took out my phone I turned around to get the cooler, how was I supposed to know how hungry I was gonna get?, I don't even know how long this road trip is gonna be;

"Can I ask where we are and how long it's gonna take us to get home?"

"You can ask and I will answer, We are in Baltimore, it'll take about 4 hours to get back to Whitmore"

"Wow, well then, how are we getting back, what car are we taking?"

"Well Stefan and Alaric must have got here somehow" Abi replied with a smirk creeping across her pale face until she disappeared into the driver's side of the car, assumedly stolen courtesy of Stefan and unpicked the lock and started the ignition, with the mention of Stefan and Alaric, I took out my phone to explain to them the basics of my situation. I shifted my body towards the passenger side of the car whilst trying to hide the small smirk making its way onto my own face, and swiftly moved inside the car.

A/N

ALOT of dialogue in this omg I hope it wasn't that confusing and once again there are considerably more words in this chapters than the others but i hope that doesn't put you off

Idk if you get how I've done it so basically it's like the first bit in italics is an event just after the twins were uncloaked from Caroline's stomach.

I hope it's not so confusing anymore,I tried explaining as best as i could without it seeming so overly complicated, somethings i have left out on purpose but if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Oh and I finally introduced Azrael/Carter, I'm trying to make him as humorous and sarcastic as possible because thats what Abi and his relationship is atm but yeh I hope you enjoyed

You will be hearing of a certain original hybrid soon ;)

Aight byeeeee
