Hello everyone. Thanks again and again for all the support you give me in every chapter. I love you all. I have a bad new to tell you though. I will be gone for an archaeological expedition for two weeks so i'm not sure when my next chapter will be. I might find time to write I might not. I am very sorry and I will do my best to finish it. Special thanks to QueenofKlaroline cause all the love she gives me keep me going.
Caroline counted every step she took towards the kitchen their mother was. With every step she was closer to happiness. She tighten her hold in Klaus's hand and he made lazy circle in the backs of her hand to make her relax. But Caroline was anything but calm. She could almost taste it in the air and feel it in her bones. Klaus and she would have everything they wanted. She wouldn't lose anything neither her family neither Klaus. Noone would take him away from her. She could have it all she knew it. All she wanted was a door away.
Klaus was scared and hopeful at the same time. He knew that she was his forever but he wanted to be able to do right by her. He didn't want to sacrifice anything. None of them wanted their family to push them away. When all this started they had no hope and now here he stood with a chance of escape...a chance he and Care could be together. He couldn't stop himself from dreaming it. He saw her smiling all the time and never cry because of what they had again. Klaus could see all their lives could be if only their family wasn't their family.
''Ready?'' Caroline said and her voice was trembling.
Klaus just nod and he open the door slowly to see his mother with her back turned on them chopiing something in the counter.
''Mother...'' Klaus started but lost his voice after that.
Esther heard the door and saw her twins entering carefully with a strange expression it their faces. What have the done again? She stopped her work and turned to face them when she heard what must be the weakest voice Klaus could make calling her. Her son was man thing but nervous was not one of them.
''What happened? Is everything ok?'' Esther said and her voice was filled with concern. Her children were her safe haven...the reason she hadn't left Mikael. She loved them more than anything.
''I don't know how to begin mom. I don't know what to say. I don't know if I should be angry with you or just run and hug you.'' Caroline told her and moved beside Klaus to draw strength from him.
''What are you talking about?'' Esther answered and she tried to make sense of all this.
''We know mother.'' Klaus said simply and looked straight into her eyes making her uncomfortable.
''Know what?'' she repeated but her hands started playing nervously with her apron.
'' Do you want us to say it at loud mom? If I can still call you that...'' Caroline asked her and run her hands through her hair.
Esther frozen at her words and her breath caught in her throat. Her hands moved to cover her mouth and she took a step back.
''No, you can't know. How you find out? Only me, Mikael and Elijah knows. Who told you? No, it can be them...they have promised me they wouldn't.'' she was talking fast and desperate and was pacing up and down not looking at them.
They were her children. She raised them. Esther was afraid she would lose them so she had made her husband and son to swear they will never reveal their birth to them.
'' Noone betrayed you secret mother even though I wish someone had. I found this in father's office.'' Klaus said coldly and throw the paper in her direction.
Esther caught it and read it while her face was getting paler and paler.
''It doesn't mean anything my loves. I still love you the same.'' she whispered and tried to hug Klaus but he stepped away.
''Why did you never tell us?'' Carolne asked wanting to believe his mothers words.
Esther turned to Caroline and her eyes was filled with tears.
''I was afraid you would go away that you will leave me. That Klaus will run away.'' she said and looked at her son again like she wanted nothing more than to accept her.
''Everyhtings makes sense now. That why Mikael hated me and could never love me cause i'm not his. I'm sure that he wished everyday that you would have picked someone else.'' Klaus whispered and was ready to leave but Caroline hold him here.
''I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for everything he's done to you...'' Esther said and this time he placed her hands on Klaus's face.
''I love you Klaus. I know I don't say it often and that my fear of Mikael didn't let me protect you but I do love you so very much. You became everything i wanted despite how he treated you. You won but proving him wrong. You're not useless...you're clever, you protect your family, you're can be whatever you want in the future. I'm proud of you everyday.'' she said and her words were nothing but the truth.
Esther couldn't connect with her son cause he shut her out most of the times but damn her if she ever let him think that she didn't love him.
Klaus had lost his ability to speak. His parents never said anything like that to him...Never. She had said she was proud of him and it was the only thing he craved more after Caroline. He wanted to hear these words from when he was 5 years old. Klaus wasn't good with words so he did the only thing he could to make her see how much her words affected him...he hugged her.
His mother left a whimper as her son hugged her closer...something that he haven't done since he was a child. He held him close and caress her back. She should have said these words everyday to him but she was gonna fix her mistake now.
Caroline watched the scene and felt everything Klaus's was feeling. Their mother has finally made her proud with all the things she said to her brother. For once Klaus could feel the love he was denied all these years.
Caroline didn't want to interrupt but she wanted answers.
''Why did you adopt when you could have children?'' she asked and her mother's head shot up from Klaus to look at her.
''I... '' she started to say and Klaus released her wiping his tears in secret.
'' Before Elijah was born I had another son. His name was Fin. You don't know about him cause it hurts me too much to remember him. She was just 7 years old when he died. He hadn't live at all. He was my first child and I lost him.'' she said and her voice was breaking and she tried to stop her sobs.
'' How did he die?'' Klaus asked and hold his mother's hand.
''He was sick. He lived most of his life in the hospital because of the cancer. He had a best friend there that was sick too...her name was Sage. They spent almost all their time together and she was the only one that could make him smile and fight when he was at his worst. Fin was getting better and we even talked about bringing home until Sage died. Her condition was worst then Fin's and one day her body gave up. Fin was beside her when it happened, they found him holding her hand. From that day he relapsed...nothing the doctors could do could make him better. It was like he didn't want to live at all and I think that's what happened. After Sage he just gave up and one day I one day doctors came to me in the hallway to say that my first son was dead. I couldn't handle it. I was in my room for days even neglecting Elijah. I didn't want to see anyone but Fin but he was gone.''
''Mother...'' Caroline murmured and she was holding her in her arms now.
''It's ok...you have all of us. We're here when you want someone to talk to. We love you.''
''Caroline you were always my ray of light in this house.'' Esther said and was ready to continue.
''I was trying to get my life back and was working for a charity event for orphaned children. I was talking to the headmistress of the institute when I saw you two. You were just babies and when I saw you I felt my heart beat normally again for the first time after Fin's death. I begged Mikael to let me adopt you and seeing me almost excited for something made him grand me this favour. I brought you home and you became my whole world cause taking care of you and loving you healed me. I was able to become a good mother again to you and Elijah.'' she said and she was looking anxious for the reaction but her children still seemed restless.
'' But what are we mother? Is Caroline my twin?'' Klaus said and his whole body was trembling waiting for her answer.
''Or are we from different families?'' Caroline said completing his thoughts.
They were some seconds in your life that will feel like hours. These moments where you sitting in the edge of a cliff and will either fall or be saved. There are the seconds before your life changes completely. It doesn't last more that you heartbeat and yet it feels like it stops your heart.
'' Of course you are twins...you don't have to worry about that. Your parents had died in a fire and by some miracle the firefighters were able to rescue you. I chose you cause I didn't want anyone to separate you. Twins rarely go to the same family but just a look at you and I could see that would be a tragic mistake. You were made to be together.'' she said and smiled at her children thinking this will make them happy.
''I adopted Klaus a week later that you though cause he need to stay at the hospital a little longer. One of the toys they given him was made from white oak and he was allergic to it which made him have an allergic sock and they needed to check on him. So he stayed a while longer.'' she said again fast but still her children's faces where blank.
Klaus didn't know how to react. He wanted to laugh at himself for hoping even for a second. Like he didn't know that world never offered him anything. But he had believed it. God made a terrible mistake by making him be born in the same family as the love of his life and thought he was now trying to correct it. But god or whatever was up there wanted him to suffer. They gave him light in his life only for him to be forbidden to feel its heat. He wanted to destroy everything.
Caroline knew that her mother expected them to smile at her words but she couldn't. They were back at where they began. Their last hope of a normal life was gone. He was her twin, her brother, her lover and none of these was gonna change. She wished she could tall her mother she loved him but that was impossible now. Their only solution now was to hide it forever or run away. Damn the fates from playing with them like that or maybe it was just their fault. They wanted so much to find a way down that were ready to believe anything. She looked at Klaus and could see the same feelings on his face. Everything was lost. They had eat the forbidden fruit and there was no way back now.
Their mother still looked at them waiting for them to say something. Suddenly Klaus grabbed Caroline's hand ans she looked at him wondering what he was planning.
''Mother can we go to the lake house for the night? This is a lot to process and I need to be alone with my sister for a while to sort things out.'' Klaus said and even his mother couldn't resist his puppy eyes.
''Of course you can.'' she said and fished the key from her pocket to give it to him.
''Take all the time you want...I will be here waiting for you.'' she said and smiled at them.
Klaus was dragging her to the door as fast as he could when Caroline turned to their mother again and her face was full of terror.
''Mom...whatever you do, DON'T tell father where we are or what we know, please.'' she begged her and followed Klaus to the car.
They were quite in the whole drive to the house, noone daring to speak. Caroline rested her head on his shoulder and was watching the road ahead counting Klaus's breath. Sometimes he turned and placed a sweet, quick kiss in her hair before continuing to drive faster than before.
They reached the house and Klaus open the door while I tried to find the lights.
''I'm gonna bring some woods to start the fire. I'll be right back.'' he murmured and went to the back yard.
Caroline nod and found some blankets to put in front of the fireplace so they could enjoy it's warmth.
When she was finished she sat on the couch where he found her when he came back. He started working on the fireplace and Caroline couldn't hold it in anymore.
''Are you disappointed?'' she said and wrapped her hands around her knees.
Klaus looked up to her with confusion on his eyes.
''I thought that you were.'' he said and the fire started lightening up the room.
'' I am sad that things wouldn't be easier for us but for a weird reason I am relieved too. I didn't want to lose my brother. I know it's sick but you're my twin and my family and I wanted us still be that. You're part of me, part of my blood and I didn't want to lose that.'' she confessed and hugged herself tighter like she was scared of the words that was coming out of her mouth.
Klaus closed the distance between them and fell to his knees infront of her and cupped her face with his caring hands enjoying the sensation of her skin against hers like it was he first time.
'' You're my sister Caroline, the person that was with me in every moment of my life. When you're happy, I am happy. When you're sad, my heart breaks along with you. You're my sister and whatever happens noone can take this from us. We're bound forever, we are one. Being twins it's not a curse it's a blessing. If we weren't I would have missed so many things, I would have missed growing up together with you.'' he said and his voice transferred all the longing in his heart.
He pulled her face closer and kissed her rosy, soft lips lazily. He gave her little, intoxicating pecks at the beginning before she pulled his body between her legs and and started tugging his hair. Klaus moved his hands to her thighs making her sigh in the kiss. He rested both his hands there letting her control the angle of the kiss while one of her hands we on his face and the other was playing with the hair in his nape.
Caroline opened her mouth slowly and let his tongue battle with hers. It caressed the top of her tongue before she explored every part of him with hers. The kiss became more aggressive by the minute. He bit her lower lip and groaned when he felt both of her hands on his neck pushing him so their mouths and bodies were so close that it was hard to distinguish one for the other. She could fell his heartbeat against her chest in a perfect rhythm with hers and felt his hands finding their way toward her rips and almost making her shatter from pleasure. She sucked his tongue and could feel his erection rising. She pulled away giving him a last lingering kiss.
'' It could have taken years to find you or maybe I would be unlucky enough to never meet you if we weren't born together. And now I have you and you love me and you always did love me and there is no way you would leave me. We belong to eachother.'' she said trying to catch her breath after this kiss and failing.
Everytime they kissed it felt even more right that they were together. Something that felt so damn magical could never be wrong.
Klaus rose up and kissed her hand before urging her to rise and lead her to sit at the blankets infront of the fireplace. They didn't talk at all again, feeling everything they needed in the silence. It was almost like they read eachother's mind. Klaus was lying down and resting his head in her legs. She was sitting and playing with his hair. He was looking at her face like she was his treasure and she was looking at the flames.
''I wish we could stay like this forever.'' she said and her gaze locked with his, their yes changing colours from the light if the fire.
They still were fascinating with eachother after all these years, never tired of examining eachother's faces.
''Soon Care, we would be able to...i Promise you.'' he whispered sweetly at her and pressed his face in her hand again begging her to continue her previous movements.
He needed her touch, he felt everything fading away when she was near.
Caroline looked again at the flames and wished that his words would come true. She felt a need she hadn't felt in a long time...the need to sing. Klaus was the artist of the family and she had the voice. Her family wanted to hear her sing all the time when she was younger and Klaus loved it most of all. He even sang with her some times even though he didn't like it cause it made her happy. She wanted to do that again now.
''Darling I'm lost, adrift in the dark. I'm clutching your words to my vampire heart once more'' she singed the first lyrics quietly waiting to see what he'll do. But the words touched her soul cause she was lost too. Lost in a love story she shouldn't have been in and the only thing she could do was cherishing his words that they would find a way to be together.
Klaus opened his eyes when he heart he voice. It was a long time since she last sang to him. Hearing her voice was sending chills though his spine. When she sing it was like she took his heart out of his body and held it in his hands. He looked at him and knew she wanted him to sing too.
''Here we are in the darkest place, my reflection shows only your face.'' he followed her lead and watched her face light up.
Klaus knew this was one of her favourites songs but know he found a whole knew meaning to it. Cause every thought he had been for her. He was sure that if someone looked at his eyes he would she the ghost of her soul there.
''And the people in our lives, we all leave behind...leave behind.'' she sang and thought of the loss of her family. Cause if there were gonna be together they had to abandon them.
''Here we are in the darkest place to keep from forgetting, I picture your face.'' Klaus knew Care was his way of staying sane that's why he painted her so much. Just a look at her face and everything fell into place.
''So I curse you, my vampire heart for letting me love you...love you. For letting me love you from the Start.'' they sang together and felt like the song was made for them.
He had fallen in love from the first time his eyes fell on her and she was his the moment he had kissed her.
Whether it was a curse or blessing their love existed and they felt like they never had a choice. It was written for them from the start. Their hearts choose for them despite reason and rules cause they were No Rules in Love. Love is not something that you can fit in a box and under a label. Love is wild, love is unpredictable. Love can destroy and love can bring you the greatest happiness.
Klaus hooked his hand behind Caroline's neck and brought her down to him. Her hair created a halo around them while they kissed for what seemed like hours. Caroline traced his chest with his finger while he continued attacking her mouth.
He slowly rose up and started to cover her body with his. She was in her back in seconds and he placed himself between her legs again and she moaned as he fest his hard member against in her most intimate place. He intertwine his fingers with hers and hold them so tight that she felt they would break under his touch. He places their hands beside her head and let some of his weight fell on her. He felt her breasts touch his chest and all his blood moved south. Caroline rose her head and kissed him again, wrapping her legs around his waist. Their lips molded together with a bruising pressure, slackening for a moment only to press even harder once more.
They could get any closer even if they tried. She started moving under him and he growled like a wild animal by the friction that was created. He could smell how wet she was while he buckled his hips and hating that there was still clothes to separate them.
''Take them off before I rip them apart.'' Klaus ordered her and Caroline become even more wet hearing his words.
She ignored him and her hands moved to lift his shirt off his head and licked her lips when his muscular chest appeared. Caroline moved her hands over his v lines down his waist and he felt him almost shatter. She continued her torture by licking at his chest and lightly biting his nipples while unzipping his pants.
Klaus eyes rolled back and he felt like he could see stars form the pleasure. He looked down on her and she could see the lust in his eyes.
He grabbed her shirt with his two hands and she heart the fabric being destroyed. He had rip her shirt in two and didn't leave her time to calm down before unclasping her bra and ducking his head at her breasts. One of his hands cupped her right breast and caressed it like it was clay. The other one was removed her skirt with one swift move. His mouth covered her other breast and he heard her moaning his name.
The resounding moan made his head go fuzzy and he had to concentrate on the soft pink flesh between his lips to ground him. His hands ran up and down her sides, fingers bumping over her ribs. She kissed her there and she never knew how sensitive that part was until he discovered it. She ran her hands down his back and she arched up, her middle grazing his erection, which strained against his pants.
He removed them and was naked infront of her. He didn't lose time as he went down and started biting and kissing her inner thighs. His stumble made her nerves feel like she was in fire.
''I will gonna make you come so hard that you won't be able to walk for days.'' he whispered and she felt the vibrations of his voice right in her core. He kissed her down there and then grabbed her underwear with his teeth and slowly dragged it down her legs. He brought it to his face, inhaling it before tossing it aside.
''Divine.'' he said and were on her again.
The were both naked now and the need to be one was even stronger. He moaned against her flesh and lifted his head just to bury it in her neck, sucking absently on the notch of her collarbone.
'' Klaus, more please.'' she whimpering waiting this sweet torture to end.
''What do you want Caroline?'' Klaus asked loving to tease her and wanting to hear her say it.
'' You Klaus, you.'' she said and kissed him again.
''You can become more specific.'' he said and smirked at her watching her trying to be angry at her and control her lust at the same time.
''I can do it myself if you don't want to help you know.'' she said smiling back thinking he got him when she saw his smile widen. Fuck.
''Let's see it.'' he said and intertwine one of his hands with hers again.
He moved their united hands towards her entrance and Caroline felt her wetness at her fingers. She never did this again and Klaus knew it. He pressed their hands deeper inside her and her head fall back and was close to the flames of the fireplace. Klaus controlled their moves and made her fingers hit the right spot that made her tighter at every thrust. The feel of his fingers and his inside her was more than she could handle. It was too hot, the fire, him, their hands.
Klaus has never saw something hotter than Caroline near an orgasm he looked down and enjoyed seeing ow he made her scream from pleasure. He continued his thrusts that now Caroline's hips were accompanying them and kissed her one more time. The kiss was the end of her as she tighten up around their fingers and came hard and long. She screamed his name and felt like she saw stars around her.
But he didn't leave her time to come down from her high as he thrust inside her. That first contact was simply euphoric as his whole length fitted inside her and filled her up. Caroline digged her nails as his shoulder as he started moving. She locked her ankles around his waist, wanting to keep him inside of her. She held him
tightly, her nails digging into his back as he moved in and out of her, sending shock waves of
pleasure though her body and into her very core where she began to lose her sanity.
He moved her legs then and placed them above his shoulder and the new angle made them both moan in pleasure. His thrusts were deeper now and harder.
''Your neck. I love your neck.'' he whispered softly and kissed it leaving marks.
Everything about her body was beautiful. She was a naked angel in effulgent glory. She was his. All his. And Klaus made it his duty to sustain her love for him.
She shut her blue eyes and threw her head back enjoying the sensation.
''I'm so close. Faster Klaus." she called.
"Come for me, Caroline" he kept his warm hands on her waist, quietly taking note of which rhythms she preferred over the others.
Her body crashed down on him like lightning and she came, giving off a final whine of bliss and
fell back, gasping for air. He followed soon enough and moaning her name.
They were outside their house and Klaus felt Caroline stop.
''I hate that we have to go back. '' she whispered and Klaus rolled his eyes at her.
''Caroline we talked about this. Mikael would get suspicious.'' Klaus said and sighed, it wasn't like he wanted to come back.
''Fine.'' she said and walked past him to enter the house first.
Klaus laughed at her childish behavior but run after her anyway.
Caroline opened the door smiling when she saw what was going on inside.
Klaus fell upon Caroline as she suddenly stopped and try to get away.
''No. no Caroline! Come in and bring him with you. Come now you don't want to make me angry.'' Mikael said but he still couldn't see him cause Caroline was blocking his view.
''Father what is this? Have you gone mad?'' Caroline said and he never heard her this scared before.
He obeyed his order and moved inside. I followed her closing the door when I saw what she had witnessed seconds ago.
Kol and Rebekah were together in a corner with fear all over their face. His mother was on the floor trembling with a bruise in her face. And his father...no Mikael was standing above her with a gun at his hand. A gun that was turned on Caroline. Klaus knew his father was aggressive but this was reaching another level of craziness. He felt rage watching his family threaten by the man who should protect them. But when she watched him pointing the gun at Caroline everything around him became red. Every muscle on his body was getting ready to attack. One move against any of them and he will bury him alive.
''Father please.'' Caroline begged and I tried to get infront of her.
''Make one more step and I will kill her.'' he threaten stopping Klaus at his tracks.
'' You came just at the right time. I was just finished telling them what you were really doing in the lake house...She gave keys for.'' she said and looked at Esther with pure hatred.
''What are you talking Mikael?'' Klaus said and he managed to sound brave.
''Stop pretending Klaus. I know everything. Ask you dear sister here.'' he said and smiled at him.
'' Father this is not the way.'' Caroline tried to reason with him but it only seemed to fuel his fire.
''Shut up! I loved you, I gave you a chance to save yourself and you choose him.'' said and gripped the gun tighter.
''Tell them it's not true Klaus. Tell him.'' Esther begged and looked at Klaus.
''Mother I'm sorry...i'm sorry.'' he started to say but Mikael started laughing.
''He can't my love. He fucks his dear sister when we turn our back. What is it little ones? Did you think you weren't related? Did you think you had a change?'' he shouted and his words cut the deep.
''You were never part of the family. You were born bastards and you will always be that. Damn Esther for making me accept your filthy blood in this family.'' he said and spit on the ground.
''Shut up.'' Kol called from the other side and he stepped forward before Rebekah pulled him back.
Mikael laughed again now pointing the gun at them. When his back was turned Esther looked at Caroline and nob her head towards the edge of the table. There was a knife on the floor probably someone tried to attack him before he threw it away. Caroline knew that was her only chance and she reached to grabbed it before his attention was on the again. She took it fast and hide it behind her back.
''Then you should join them in prison Kol.'' Mikael said and Klaus had enough.
'' Even him choose me over you. Don't you understand that you have noone but yourself to turn to?'' Klaus said and he knew he had succeed in taking the attention from Klaus.
''You destroyed this family, boy.'' he said and now the gun was pointing in his heart.
'' No you did, you destroyed every day. If you kill me they will cry at my funeral. But you Mikael, we all wish you were dead everyday. I hate you, Elijah left to get away, Kol and Rebekah despise you, Mother only stays because of us and you manage to make the only person that still loved you loathe you.'' he said and smirked at him.
Everything after that happened without anyone realizing it. Mikael fired and Klaus fall to the ground screaming from pain. Then it was blood everywhere, Klaus's blood. Everybody screamed and tried to reach him. Caroline didn't scream. Her voice was lost. She watched as it was a dream. She clutched her hand feeling as if she was being shot, she felt her whole body trembling.
Her eyes were cold as she turned on Mikael and screamed at him.
''He is mine you bastard.''
Mikael was frozen by his actions and he didn't see her coming. Caroline hold the Knife above him for a moment before pushing to his chest. Now Mikael was the one that fell to the ground and screamed like a wild animal.
'' You can't take him for me.'' Caroline stabbed him again and this time the knife hit his heart.
She felt his heart stop beating but she stabbed him again and again while crying. He hated him, he wanted him to suffer more. Just killing him wasn't enough.
'' We came into this world together and we will leave this world together.'' she said and felt hands wrapping around her and try to pick her up.
''It's ok Caroline. It's ok. It's over.'' Kol said and Caroline hugged him closer and started crying in his arms.
The knife fell from her hands.
''He's alive'' Rebekah said and Caroline's head shot up to watch her and her mother above Klaus trying to stop the bleeding.
''He missed. He hit him on the shoulder.'' Esther said but Caroline could hear anything but the word ''alive''
She left Kol and run to him. She hold his hands and tried not to cry. Klaus tried to open his eyes and smiled when he saw Caroline.
''If it don't end in bloodshed dear, it's probably not love.'' he whispered at her and she hold his hand tighter.
This is it. I hope all of you don't hate me for making them being twins. I tried to change the story but exploring this forbidden love was my intention from the start, I'm very sorry if I disappointed you. As for the end more trouble it's coming. This story would have two more chapters. I love you all so much.
Today it's my birthday so please review as my present.
Thanks the new guest for the reviews in the 3 first chapters
My Vampire heart was the song they were singing
