And please please please follow me on twitter ( klaroline_feels ) I will follow back. Also if someone would please post this on tumblr that would be great! So anyway enough of me pointlessly talking here is chapter 4! This chapter is about the FRIENDship of Caroline and Elijah.
I swallow the vervain, and immediately want to throw it up. It tastes disgusting and drys my throat. But I know it is privilege to have it, not many servants here get it. Klaus says I have to earn it every week. I don't know how I will do that though, I'm not a whore and I am going to prove it to him. I will not sell myself to him just to get vervain. I am not a prostitute, and Klaus is not a pimp (not that I know of anyway). As much as I want to have a freewill, I will not give Klaus what he wants.
"Whats troubling you love?" Elijah, Klaus's brother asked me. Elijah is different then Klaus, he is a gentleman. He genuinely cares about me and is concerned what is wrong with me.
"Do you think of me has 'Klaus's whore'?" I ask, my voice trembling, I trying my best not to break down and cry in front of Elijah.
He looks puzzled for a moment then he shakes his head. "No, no you are not a whore. Please, do not think low of yourself, do not move yourself down to Klaus's level. You are better and brighter than him. Don't give him the satisfaction of taking away your flame." Elijah says, straightening his posture.
"Why do you stay with him?" I ask, curiosity taking over me.
"My brother is many things. But he is family. I do believe he can be saved, he just needs a spark to ignite. But then again, I could be hoping for something that will never happen." Elijah say looking at me in the eye.
"One more thing, do you think I could pass as beautiful?" I ask blushing, embarrassed by my question.
"Caroline, are you second guessing yourself?" Elijah asks, leaning in, his eyes filled with concern.
"I-I don't know anymore I just don't know. I used to have my whole life planned out, and Klaus- Klaus he just barged in my life. He raped me, Elijah! He took something from me that I can't ever get back. His enemy's are taking their hatred towards him out on me. Even the servants think I'm a whore! I don't know what is wrong with me, why me? And worst of all I just can't hate him! It's crazy right? " I start breaking down and crying.
Elijah looks shocked, really shocked. I can tell he doesn't know what to do, or how to comfort me. But regardless he pulls me in for a gentle hug. He starts rubbing smooth circles on my back and whisper 'shh' in my ear. I cuddle closer to him and let all of the emotions I have been holding in and start bawling my eyes out.
I can hear crying, not sure who it is but I know they need to stop. I stop drawing Caroline and hunt down where I hear the voice coming from. I realize the noise is coming from. I soon realize the noise is coming from the foyer.
I zoom there with my vampire speed and I see Caroline cuddling into Elijah. She is crying safely in his arms. He is rubbing her back lightly, making sure every part of her is comfortable.
A pang of jealousy hits me. I don't know why, but I don't like how a blonde human has this much control over my feelings. I know one thing though, she is mine and she is off limits to my brothers.
I clear my throat, getting both of their attention. Caroline scoots back, and looks down embarrassed. Elijah says, "I will leave you two alone, goodbye Caroline, Klaus" When he says my name he nods at me and starts standing up. He kisses Caroline's forehead and leaves the room at vampire speed.
I give Caroline the 'we need to talk look' and quickly grab her, then go to our room at vampire speed.
Once she is settled on the bed I say, "So, care to tell what just happened?"
"I'm not your whore." I hear her mumble before she turns her back to me and looks like she's going to sleep. My what? My whore. No, no of course she's not my whore. She is my servant, I enjoy her company. I want to be the only one to enjoy her, I don't want Elijah or anyone else to enjoy her.
"Caroline I don't know what any of this is about, but I don't want you to see Elijah anymore." I state, sounding a little too jealous for my liking.
"W-what? You have got to be kidding me. Elijah is the only sane person in this house. Every other servant calls me a whore! At least I can feel like an equal when I'm with him! Why do you have to take everything away from me?" Caroline says, while turning towards me looking alarmed and scared.
"Do you have feelings for my brother now?" I ask smirking, though I am jealous inside.
"Not in the way you are thinking. Elijah is my friend, the only person who treats me with some respect. I think he was actually hurt when he realized that you raped me an scarred me in ways no one else possibly can. He- he.." She starts crying, her eyes bawling with tears. She turns herself over, so her back is facing me and she cries while cuddling with a pillow.
"Caroline.. I-I didn't mean that- at all... I just um I was hurt, in ways you can't imagine. I was told I wasn't good enough til I was forced to believe it. And I crave people feeling lower than me. I want people to think that I am better than them. And the night I did those awful things I-I wanted to satisfy myself, with taking something important from you... I'm-" Sorry. However the word just won't slip from my lips.
Caroline turns to me and says, "Klaus, I want to know about your dad. Elijah said that he did something to you. I want to know now. You owe me that much."
Who does she think I am!? She is telling me what to do? Anger boils inside of me and flows through my veins. I am trying my best not to snap her neck here and now. But then I think of her crying, for me to stop, for me not to rape her. She was begging for me to stop. Suddenly a strong feeling of self-hatred flows through my body, making me feel numb.
"He was terrible, he made me feel like shit, he gave me beatings, spit on me, he told me I was worthless and that nobody would ever love me. To this day that is proven right. Nobody gives a damn about me." I say looking down. I hate this and I immediately regret that I told her something that made me vulnerable. I need to appear indestructible.
"I get it, your dad didn't love you so you think nobody else will. Nobody likes you because you don't even try to connect with them." I say, telling the truth. Maybe if he tried to connect with me and didn't take me against my own will maybe, just maybe things would be different between us.
"Because if I connect with people I will scare them away!" Klaus replies angry. But he isn't lashing out at me, that's progress.
"Well maybe that's what it will take! You should scare them, and if they stay then you know that they have feelings for you!" I say loosing my temper, Klaus just drives me insane. It is so simple, someone his age should know that.
"Well, this conversation is over." Klaus says, obviously my words got through to his head and under his thick skin.
"No, you are not shutting me out just because I mean something to you." I state.
"W-what are you talking about?" Klaus asks.
"You said it yourself, you fancy me. And now it's becoming more than fancying and you told me about your past.. and now you are trying to shut me out and I am now asking you not to shut me out." I say, grabbing his arm and holding his hand.
I don't know what is going on with me but I know I like it when Klaus tells me stuff he tells nobody else.
"What are you saying Caroline?" Klaus whispers, looking down and our hands.
"I'm saying that I'm giving you a chance to prove yourself to me that you aren't a monster, show me what Elijah see's in you." I whisper, as he lightly kisses my forehead. My first instinct is to smack him,but then I remember the crazy idea of giving him a chance. So I let him have his way of lightly kissing me.
"You are something else Caroline..." Klaus whispers smiling.
