Chapter Four: Love Me
Corinne watched as her sister left in the blue car on her way to pick up Matt Donovan. She couldn't help, but sigh. Great, she was alone again. Truthfully, she had been alone for quite some time and she didn't know why it was bothering her. Perhaps being with her siblings had made her emotional. Something that she didn't particularly liked.
Still, it had been nice to see them even if her encounter with Klaus hadn't gone as planned. It pained her that she and her big brother had been so closed at some point, but that had been before Klaus had become an annoying dictator with a thirst for revenge and controlling everyone around him. She checked her watch. It was still early and she needed a drink.
After walking through the streets of the pretty little Mystic Falls she finally found a halfway decent place to get a drink. The Grill. Lovely. She pushed opened the door and saw that it was filled with parents celebrating their graduates.
"Whisky." Corinne told the bartender as she placed her credit card on the table. She didn't bother compelling people when there were so many people around.
"So, you're a whisky girl."
Corinne looked up and saw a handsome dark hair man who was obviously already drunk. He had stunning blue eyes and he was wearing a leather jacket. "I am," she recognize the drink in his own glass. "Bourbon."
He raised an eyebrow and nodded as he took a sip. "Looks like your day was as crappy as mine."
Corinne nodded somewhat innocently. "It was. I meet with my brother and sister for the first time in years and it didn't go as well as I expected."
He nodded. "Sibling drama. I can relate. I'm Damon. Damon Salvatore."
"Corinne. Corinne Mikaelson."
Damon's jaw clenched slightly. "Mikaelson? As in the original siblings? You are an Original vampire?"
Corinne raised an eyebrow. "You know them?"
"Sadly." Damon grimaced. "I didn't know there was another sister. I thought Rebekah was the only blond."
"Nope," Corinne said. "There's me, I'm the youngest. We've had some problems through the years. That's the reason that I haven't made my presence known. Klaus seems to drag his problems everywhere and that usually affects us."
Damon raised an eyebrow. "I thought Klaus daggered you somewhere. Well, your explanation makes sense."
"So, if you know about Klaus, that must mean that you know about vampires or you are one," Corinne raised her glass slightly. "Why so sad Damon? You should be happy that my brother is finally out of your little town."
"My girl. . .the girl that I was with didn't want me anymore." He shrugged. "The usual drama. I don't want to talk about it."
"Her lost," she shrugged. "Klaus and Rebekah left, the house is empty you are more than welcome to spend some time there with me. We can drown our sorrows together."
Damon snorted. "You're quite forward, aren't you?"
"I don't like beating around the bush," she stood up. "I like what I like. Now finish you drink and let's go."
Katherine couldn't move. No matter how much she tried she found that her body was tied firmly on the chair held back by chains. Her ankles and wrists were tied to the chair in chains and no matter how much she tried to move, she found out that she couldn't budge.
Damn, Klaus. Damn him. But she wouldn't cry. She would cut off her own tongue before she burst into tears. He had injected her with something back in the car that had knocked her out and before she knew it she had woken up and found herself tied in a chair in New Orleans. Katherine was only sure that she was in New Orleans because Katherine had led him there under false pretenses.
The door opened and Klaus came in and smirked at her. "What the hell have you done to me you bastard?" Katherine's voice was quivering, but could you blame her. She was human now, a mere fly compared to Klaus. "Now, now love don't be so upset. We're going to have fun you and I."
"Fun?" Katherine barked a laugh. "What kind of fun?"
Klaus gave her a cold smirk as he pushed back a curl. "Oh, no you don't understand love. I am the one that is going to have fun. You are going to pay back everything you owe me."
Corinne put on her bra as Damon lazily watched her from the bed. His torso was half naked and he didn't seem to mind that Corinne was putting on her clothes hurriedly. "Why are you heading to New Orleans, you just gave me a twenty-minute speech of why you couldn't stand Klaus. Not that I blame you, but it seems kind of stupid to run back to the guy."
"I'm not running back to him," Corinne said as she put on her skinny jeans. "We haven't seen each other in decades. Besides it might be fun, don't worry if he starts acting like a psychopath again I will run for the hills, don't worry about that."
Damon smirked. "Oh, I'm not worried. What makes you so sure that Klaus will even accept you with open arms? He enjoys holding in grudges."
Corinne smirked. "Then I will take him a nice homecoming gift. What do you think he'll like? I'm open to any recommendations."
Damon smirked. "Oh, I know what he'll like. The question is will you be able to get it?"
Corinne raised an eyebrow. "Try me."
"Well, your brother is a tad obese with a blond baby vamp, ex cheerleader by the name of Caroline Forbes. The sheriff's daughter," Damon said. "I'm sure he'll welcome you with open arms if you bring him Caroline."
Corinne raised an eyebrow. "A baby vamp? That does not sound like Klaus. I'll think about it. Thanks for the advice. I better get going." She gave him a last kiss on the lips. "Thank you for a lovely day, it was nice to meet you Damon."
Damon caressed her cheeks. "Likewise, finally a Mikaelson sister I actually like."
Caroline parked her car feeling exhausted. She only wanted to get some hot tea and go to bed. She heard footsteps behind her and she turned around and saw a stunning blond girl. "Are you Caroline Forbes?"
"I am," Caroline said. She looked familiar, where had she seen her before? "And you are?"
"Corinne. But I have a feeling that we're going to get to know each other soon." Her eyes turned red as the veins around her neck became more prominent. She pressed Caroline against her car. Caroline hissed and tried to bite her, but Corinne was too fast and she snapped her neck first.
Caroline fell to the floor. "Sorry, Caroline," Corinne told the body. "But I need to be on Klaus' good graces and apparently, you're the key."
