Chapter 4
"Wait a minute, your telling me that my brothers including back from the dead Kol are daggered somewhere in our own home". Rebekah screeched its echo reaching far outside Mary's cabin. "Yes this guy Theon is leading Klaus's enemies now" Hayley informed her, glad that the children were occupied outside playing under Mary's careful watch.
The reunion had been sweet. Hope had ran straight into Rebekah's waiting arms and stayed in them for a hour not wanting to move giving the other women time to sleep and feed. Explanations was giving also on why Caroline was in New Orleans, introductions were made between Rebekah and the twins. Who insisted on calling her a princess, which Rebekah did not mind at all.
Morning was upon them and reunions were cut short when Rebekah demanded to know why they weren't having these talks from the safety of their compound and where the hell were her brothers. "Theon that bloody bastard" Rebekah stomped reaching for her glass of bourbon. "You know him" Caroline enquired. Rebekah's gaze moving to fixed on her "Yes unfortunately I do. He was always envious of Nik, always wanting whatever he had or copying everything he did". "Wow Klaus had his own stalker" Haley joked. "It was more than that, it was a deeper obsession. Theon want to be Nik" Rebekah stated wanting to show them that this was no laughing matter.
"So what was your plan", Rebekah asked taking a seat with the rest of them in the sitting room. Freya, Hayley and Caroline all looked at each other. "There is a plan right". "Well" Freya started trying to bide time till her brain could come up with something. "I told them that they needed a plan before they woke you" Hayley voiced leaning further back into the sofa next to Caroline. "Traitor" Caroline whispered back whiles poking her in the side. "Ok, well firstly we have to know what we are walking into" Rebekah started, "Someone is going to have to go into the compound and see how the situation is".
"Who's going to do that" Caroline questioned. Rebekah looked to Caroline and it was like a light bulb going off in her head, a smirk started to form on her face. "You're going to do it". Hayley and Freya looked back and forth between the two Barbie vampires both keeping quiet silently glad not to be the centre attraction in Rebekah's crazy scheme. "Me" Caroline replied pointing at herself "and why does it have to be me".
"Theon knows me and he would have probably seen Freya and Hayley so that leaves you. Oh and because aren't you an expert in being the blonde distraction, my brother seemed to always fall for it". Rebekah shot back with an icy glare. 'I knew she disliked me' Caroline thought. "Ok I'll do it" Caroline said returning an equally bitchy glare not wanting to back down. Rebekah's look turned to one of shock not expecting Caroline to accept the challenge. "Really", "Yes as you said yourself I've had a lot of practice getting a powerful man to do what I want". Caroline bit back.
Not wanting to lose Rebekah suggested she started tonight the sooner the better. Caroline's confidence slipped a bit long enough for Rebekah to notice that she had caught the baby vampire off guard. "I think tonight is too soon" Freya spoke trying to break the tension that was building in the room from these two vampires. Hayley nodded in agreement not wanting Caroline to go into a situation unprepared. "No it's fine Freya, like Rebekah said the sooner the better" Caroline said whiles getting up, "I better go find something to wear". Caroline excused herself and headed towards Hope's room because it currently occupied all of hers and the twins bags.
When the door had closed Freya stood up. "You could have been nicer" Freya said to Rebekah who was nursing a drink. "Why she's only here to use Nik for protection" Rebekah replied shocking both women at how cold and callus she sounded. "That she is the only reason you're here right now" Freya yelled at her. "What do you mean" Rebekah replied confusion written all over her face. "Caroline's twins are siphoning witches, they are the reason why the killing curse you were under was lifted" Hayley said informing her on how much her journey back to the land of the living was thanks to that blonde baby vampire she was just rude to. "She risked her own children for you, so be grateful" Freya added frustrated on how stubborn her sister could be at times. "You should be thanking her not sending petty jabs her way".
Rebekah looked at the door that Caroline had just disappeared through silently deciding in her head to go and talk to the Mystic Falls vampire.
"Knock Knock" Rebekah said making herself known to Caroline who was currently drowning in a sea of clothes. Caroline glanced up from her position of chaos "What do you want, I'm not in the mood to have a bitch war with you right now I'm trying to find something to wear" Caroline breathed out. "I don't hate you", "What" Caroline replied a look of confusion occupying her face. "I never hated you and if you repeat this I will deny it but I was kind of envious of you. You had friends, family who loved you unconditionally and guys who love you and you took it for granted". Rebekah confessed whiles moving to sit on her niece's temporary bed. "Well now I have no friend, Hayley and Freya are the closest thing I have to them, no family and no love life, all I have in this world are my girls and I will do anything to keep them safe". Caroline said releasing a deep sigh.
"Thank you"
"For what now" Caroline questioned. "Freya told me what you did to help me, so thank you" Rebekah answered giving Caroline a genuine smile. "You're welcome". "Ok enough of these mushy emotions, lets find you something hot to wear" Rebekah said waling towards Caroline.
"They have been in there for a long time" Freya said out loud her voice filled with nervousness and some worry as she sat staring at the closed door. Hayley moved back to sit with her after settling the children into her bedroom since Hope's was currently occupied. "They're finally asleep now and Mary has just left to see a friend" Hayley informed the witch who didn't take any notice, still fixated on what was going on behind the closed door. "What if Rebekah killed her" Freya questioned starting to panic. "They are fine, they are actually surprisingly getting along" Hayley answered back after using her hybrid hearing just to be sure. They women stopped talking as they heard the door open revealing the two blonde vampires.
"So what do you girls think" Rebekah said stepping aside to show Hayley and Freya her master piece. Caroline stepped into the room, her hair was set in loose curls that flowed down passed her shoulders, her make up was dark and sensual, she wore a black lace dress that reached mid thigh and had long laced sleeves and high neckline. The finishing touches were the red glistening jewel around her neck and the vibrant red high heel shoes that made her legs look like they went on for miles. "Wow you look amazing" Hayley commented smiling, "your going to kill it as the distraction". "You look beautiful" Freya smiled walking over to them and pulled Caroline and Rebekah into a hug. AS she did Freya mouthed a thank you to Rebekah, who replied with a wink.
"Where are the girls" Caroline enquired taking a glance around the small cabin. "They are all asleep in my room" Hayley answered pouring everyone a drink and settled them on the coffee table. "Come on lets have a quick drink for good luck". They all took their respected seats and clinked their glasses before drinking. "So anything I need to know before I go to the compound" Caroline asked staring at the women in her life. "Well Rebekah already gave you directions so here is a picture of Theon so you know who your looking for", Hayley showing a picture of the enemy. "Klaus is way better looking" Caroline voiced accidentally quickly realising what she had said. A blush started to form on her cheeks, she hoped they would ignore her embarrassing comment. Freya, Hayley and Rebekah all shared a knowing teasing look at Caroline. "Anyway moving on, you need to remember that once your in the compound you will need to find out where he has our brothers, also take note on how many men he has guarding or staying inside". Freya stated. "Ok got it. Wish me luck" Caroline smiled before downing her drink.
The music was loud. It busted out of the compound spilling onto the street. 'Deep breathes Caroline, you've got this. You look hot, there is no way you can lose. Just find Klaus and his brothers and get the need information and they you are out of there' Caroline bravely thought before taking a step into the lions den. AS she reached the inner courtyard she glanced around there was only seven people here, some indulging in feeding off humans others dancing and drinking. "Uhmm" Caroline cleared her throat loudly trying to get someone's attention which back fired when everyone's eyes fell onto her and the music cut off. Caroline nervously smiled "Hello". "Well beautiful you're a tasty little thing" a voice drifted to her from the second story balcony overlooking the courtyard. As Caroline's eye sorted out the person who spoke. There on the separate pillars that held up the roof around the courtyard was the daggered Mikaelsons. "Oh my god" Caroline breathed out unable to hold in the shock.
"You like my trophies beautiful" said the man who spoke earlier Caroline now recognising as Theon. "They're one of a kind" his laughter ripping Caroline's attention off the horrible sight. "Umm . . They are quite impressive, I heard that you had bested the Mikaelson family and the big bad hybrid himself. So I had to see for myself if the rumours where true" Caroline replied with a fake smirk hoping it show on her face the crushing pain in her chest at seeing Klaus in this state. Theon had been slowly making his way down to her during their conversation and now he was a step away. 'He's a serial space invader' Caroline thought. "I'm Theon and you angel do you have a name" Theo spoke trying to be charming but all it did was make Caroline's skin crawl. "I'm Caroline" she replied trying to keep her gaze on the man in front of her and not on the disgusting display of decoration. "A sweet name for a ravishing creature. So did you know them" Theon questioned reaching for her hand and gently laid a kiss upon it.
"Yes I knew Klaus" Caroline answered waiting to see what kind of reaction she got. Theon's hand clenched hers tightly before letting go. "Well what do you think of him now" he enquired pointing to Klaus's desiccated corpse pinned on the middle pillar. Trying to keep her voice steady she replied "Well obviously he's not the best after all, you are". Caroline hoped stroking this mans ego would help move this along faster. "Everybody leaves now" Theo shouted, his voice bouncing off the walls. "I want to be left alone with this sweet Caroline". Surprisingly to her everyone jumped to his command and before she could blink they had all vamp speed out of there.
"Wow" Caroline tried to sound impressed. "I'm king, they either listen to me or die" Theo laughed. Caroline joined in with the worlds most fakest laugh in history not wanting to be with this man any longer. She hated being in this courtyard with Klaus and his brothers in this state and she need to go to a different room before she couldn't take it any more and just vamp speed and undaggered him herself. "Can we go to a more comfortable room please" Caroline asking a low flirtatious voice. "Anything for you angel" Theon replied licking his lips before taking her upstairs and into a sitting area. "You want a drink", "Yes please" Caroline answered a bit to fast. Theon clicked his fingers and a few seconds later in walks a beautiful man with a sour look on his face and hands bound in shackles. Caroline was shocked and hoped she recovered just in time but she could tell that this new presented man had seen it. "Yes", "Yes what" Theon growled. "Yes sir", "Much better, Marcel get me and this lovely lady a drink".
