Writer's note:
Please; take into consideration that this fan fiction story is a sequel of "Seven Dates". I highly suggest that you go read the first part story before starting this present one. Thank you guys!
Previously in Seven Sins…
"What about Rome?" Caroline replied, while swallowing a lump in her throat, her heartbeat rising faster inside her chest, erotic images of their naked bodies filling her mind.
"You know perfectly what I'm asking." Klaus added, a nerve twitching in his left cheek. "Look at me in the eyes and tell me that it meant nothing to you then?"
She stared into his blue gaze for a few seconds, before lowering her red cheeks.
"I can't…" She shook her head, mortified of her own weakness …. Same weakness named: Klaus Mikaelson! "Oh my God… Look!" She exclaimed, joyfully; before spreading toward the inside of the cavern, only to come face to face with a majestic cascade of water, in the middle of an interior oasis, natural light illuminating this hidden paradise.
Caroline placed herself at the near edge of the small creek; amazement spreading on her facial expression.
"You did not answer my question?" She heard his voice, and felt his soft touch, at a near inch of her standing position.
"There's nothing to answer." She managed to whisper under a shortness of breaths.
"Nothing to answer… Is it because you've fallen for "him"? Is it because you're thinking of sleeping with Shinichi, and are evaluating your chance to put a more powerful man into your bed?" Klaus mumbled, angrily, between his teeth, before grabbing both of Caroline's shoulders to turn her body to face him.
She was perhaps back as a human now, but the rage she felt at that particular moment gave her enough strength to squirm herself away from his firm grip, before pushing him over the small cliff, only to see Klaus's body hit the water in a loud waves sound.
"Fuck you, Mikaelson!" She yelled to his face; when he reappeared from the bottom of the creek, his fiery sight locked on his pray.
"If I was you, Love; I would start running!" He threatened, angrily.
ooOoo
"I'll tell Damon… I'll … I'll tell him about you and … And what you just did …" Elena stammered, while trying to catch her breath.
"You'll tell him nothing of the sort, and you perfectly know it." Enzo replied, dryly.
"Oh yah… And why is that, because you've said so?" Elena narrowed her sight on him.
"No, it's simply for the fact that Damon is no match for you. The poor man doesn't even know or realize what is good for him anymore. Neither his brother as a matter of fact. He has the biggest flaw of falling, and being obsessed with the wrong kind of girls." Enzo rolled his eyes.
"Oh God, and you're a match for me, I suppose?" Elena exclaimed, rage coming out of her ears.
"You perfectly now that answer to that question." Enzo shrugged. "Therefore, I won't waste my saliva answering you."
The sudden and unexpected tremors of the ground underneath their feet, with the shake of the rocks wall, and the loud barking of the dog made them started and frantically scatter the catacomb.
"It's an earthquake! We need to get the fuck out of here … Come!" Enzo shouted over the brouhaha, while presenting his opened right hand to Elena.
She did not think twice and spread toward him, before feeling his arms wrap her shoulders and waist.
"The portal … What about the portal, we can't leave!?" Elena turned her head and sight toward the source of energy.
"We don't have time… Brutus, lead the way!" He shouted the order to the colossal dog.
ooOoo
"What are you talking about? What kind of a strange behavior?" Kol asked.
"They were all having the same argument, over and over; screaming their heads off about their horrible flaw, in this case: "envy"! Damon added as explanation. "And, with the sky turning as black as the night, we figured that it was Shinichi's doing, it's not like we weren't waiting for something to manifest itself."
"Envy…?" Kol repeated, frowning.
"Oh, my God… The biblical seven sins, do you think what I'm thinking?" Bonnie couldn't do without glancing at Kol.
"The ground finally stopped shaking and the Original stormed toward one of the windows, before opening the curtains, only to face a black sky, unrecognizable to human's eyes.
"He managed to turn the curse back at us … I mean in reverse!" Kol exclaimed, in shock.
"What do you mean by that?" Stefan asked arched eyebrows.
"Inari, their divinity had placed the curse as a backup plan, to destroy the kistunes, only if they would deny their divine mission, and start acting in vain ways for their own selfish gain, by using any of the seven biblical sins…" Bonnie started explaining to both Salvatore brothers.
"She's right." Kol nodded at Bonnie's say. "And now, that asshole of a kistune has managed to turn the curse back at us; by creating seven days of sins before the future as we know it would be destroyed for good!" Kol concluded her statement.
"Shit!" Damon exclaimed, jaw hitting the floor.
Chapter 6
"LUST"
Egypt – City of Cairo – 1593…
"Well, you'll be highly disappointed because I won't move a finger, I'll stay right here, my feet glued to the ground!" Caroline responded, arms crossed over her chest, chin raised in a confrontational gesture, but with the beats of her heart increasing dangerously inside her chest … He wouldn't hurt her, right? The Hybrid was crazy in love with her, right? It's not a little push in the water that would raise Klaus's fury, right?
To be honest, she was as crazy in love with him that he was with her, but that was Caroline Forbes' secret to keep, in all cost. Who would ever believe that she had fallen deep for the hybrid? They would probably think that it had been a sexual attraction between the two that was finally consummated in Rome, but they wouldn't call it "love", right?
"It's fine by me, sweetheart." Klaus shrugged, raising both hands to push his wet hair toward the back, his fiery sight narrowed on the young woman, a cocky smile curving his manly lips…. The beast was obviously enjoying the foreplay of his evil plan. "I needed a bath; you just procure me the chance to take it." He added, while slowly getting out of the water. "You know this parallel universe is not what it's all cracked up to be? I wasn't even able to take a bath since I've arrived in Cairo."
"What are you doing now?" Caroline raised a suspicious eyebrow at his present action.
"Why? Why does it matter to you what I'm doing? I thought I had no effect on you, Love?" Klaus reached the small bank, with his pants and tunic glued like a second skin to his body.
She let her eyes slowly slide on the length of his body, biting into her teeth into her bottom lip at the obvious bulge showing at his crotch area; surely provoked by the cold water effect … Or Caroline would prefer to believe.
"You do whatever you want, why would it affect me if you're taking a bath or not?" She shrugged, falsely indifferent. "I prefer to have a clean wolf standing by my side, than a smelly one, I suppose?"
"Oh, is this one of your jokes, sweetheart?" Klaus questioned, grinning; while passing his tunic above his head, only to throw the fabric on the cavern ground a second later. "If so… It's a really good one!" He added, teaser. "You know I've heard that the Kitsunes smell really bad when they are wet, and considering you'll marry one soon, I'm just acting as a concerned friend, you know?"
Go fuck yourself, Mikaelson! Caroline thought, while narrowing her sight on the hybrid.
"I've heard hybrids are a pain in the ass and yet, I'm stuck with one!" She replied, pulling her tongue at him. "You're really a jerk Mikaelson, you know that?"
"A jerk, perhaps… But one who has shared his bed with you, back in Rome, Caroline Forbes." He pointed a finger in her direction, water dripping in an erotic way, from the tips of his hair to his muscular chest … Or was it Caroline who couldn't stop staring, and felt a fire growing in her belly? "How do you explain that, Love?" He grinned, proudly.
"It was pure insanity of my part!" Caroline lashed out as reply. "I'm like a magnet that attracts the worst assholes in the world… First, there was you … Then, that lunatic, Shinichi!"
"Well, to be fair, I was not obligated to bring you in a parallel universe to get you in my sheets that must be counting for something, right?" Klaus shrugged, mockingly, while pushing the note a little bit further.
"Oh, you're getting on my last nerves!" Caroline stomped her feet on the ground, both closed fists placed on each side of her tensed body. "Do you know what your damn problem is, Mikaelson?"
"Please, enlighten me, sweetheart, I'm dying to know?" He grinned, while tilting his head.
"You're fucking enormous, large ego!" She yelled, while pulling her hair with both hands.
"Oh, it's my ego, really? For a minute when you used the qualifiers: enormous and large, I thought you were talking about something else than my ego, but … Please, keep going." Klaus lowered his head to hide the huge smile spreading on his lips.
"Oh my God… Here it is!" Caroline rolled her eyes out of their sockets.
"Now, if you don't want to see my huge and enormous ego, I would suggest you turn around." He suggested, waving his right hand at her.
"Why? What … What will you do?" Caroline asked, stumbling through her question.
"You don't expect me to bath with my clothes, do you Love?" He questioned, while letting his pants drop to his ankle, before standing in all his huge and enormous glory in front of the young woman.
"Oh my God… You could have hidden yourself!" Caroline promptly turned her back at him, redness spreading on her face, with her left hand placed over her eyes. But that didn't meant she hadn't caught a lot of him, before turning around!
"It's nothing that you haven't seen before, Love." He mocked more, soon followed by the splash sound of his dive into the water.
Mystic Falls … Present time …
"What did we miss?" Enzo exclaimed, while storming inside the study room, Elena close on his heels. "Well, except for the obvious earthquake and storm from hell outside, of course." He added, smirking.
The imposing dog spread inside the room, managing to find a spot free of wreckage in front of the fire, before disappearing from their eyes.
"It still freaks me out, you know?" Damon pointed toward the empty spot, and invisible dog.
"You'll get used to it with time." Enzo winked; before turning his sight toward Bonnie and Kol.
"Elena, thank God you're alright!" Bonnie rushed toward her friend, before hugging the brunette in her arms.
"I'm fine, Bonnie; just a bit shaken by the earthquake." Elena reassured her friend, while glancing from the corner of her eyes at Enzo, who winked at her…Asshole! If he thought that he had any effect on her just because of a simple kiss, he would have another think coming at him!
"Sage… What are you doing here?" Kol exclaimed with his mouth opened.
"Kol Mikaelson?" Enzo returned the same speechless expression.
"You got to be fucking kidding me, where are you coming from asshole?" Kol exclaimed, while closing the space between them, before knocking closed fists with him, under their laughter sounds.
"Kol Mikaelson, the oldest conniving piece of shit, what are you doing here yourself?" Enzo exclaimed. "And by the way I go by the name of Enzo now."
"Aye, wait just a minute… What is this all about?" Damon reached both men's standing positions, wide opened eyes fixated on them.
"What? You don't know Kol? Well, you'll need to know this son-of-a-bitch; he's simply awesome!" Enzo responded, while pushing Kol on his left shoulder, in a playful way.
"Awesome? Him … Are you drunk?" Damon arched an eyebrow, wincing with disdain. "He's a fucking Original and a fucking lunatic!" He added, pointing in the said man.
"So what is your point, Damon?" Enzo shrugged.
"Well, it takes one fucking lunatic to know one, I presume?" Kol responded all smile.
"Just … Just don't talk, would you?" Damon frowned, not believing his eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Kol pushed Damon on the side, before addressing his question to Enzo.
"I came from the portal." Enzo replied, nodding. "I was stuck in Shinichi's past world."
"I was there myself, but I never saw you? I thought you were dead, man?" Kol shrugged, fatalist.
"I was … and most of the times, I still am, I'm a bit of an enigma." Enzo replied, evasively, quickly glancing in direction of Elena who carefully avoided his stare. "I can't believe you two are not getting along?" He added, eyeing Kol and Damon simultaneously.
"Ok, not to put a downer on this amazing get together between jackasses … Minus you, Stefan." Bonnie rolled her eyes to the ceiling at Elena, who lowered her head to hide the smile spreading on her lips. Bonnie had her special way to re-established order when needed.
"Thank you Bonnie!" Stefan nodded, a smirk raising the right side of his lips. "This said; she has a good point, the world as we all know it is falling apart, and I think that we should concentrate our energy on that."
"Bourbon, that's what I need!" Damon replied, while straddling the debris on the study room floor to reach the bar. "God, look at the damage? Now, I can only hope there's still a bottle that was not broken somewhere?" He pushed a few broken ones out of the way, before rising one in the air in a victorious way. "Ah! That should do the trick!" He broke the cork before bringing it to his mouth, only to have it snatched away from his hand. "Hey?" He exclaimed.
"End of the world, earthquake, and a storm from hell, not it's without adding being stuck with an original!" She glanced toward Kol.
"I'm happy to oblige to all your needs and wishes, darling." Kol winked, saluting her of his right hand.
"I need this more than you!" Bonnie drank large gulps of the amber liquid; only to put it down a few seconds later, under loud coughing sounds. If only gulping the all bottle could make her forget about this stupid dream!
"Now … now Bon-Bon, go easy on yourself, would you?" Damon snatched the bottle back from her hands.
"We have a bad news to tell you." Elena stepped a few steps forward, while nervously rubbing her hands together.
"Geez, you have a gifted way to bring it gently on people, don't you?" Enzo glanced, angrily, in Elena's direction.
""Trust me it's even more of a bad news, knowing you can't go back from where you came from!" She mumbled, angrily, under her clenched teeth.
'What? What happened to the portal?" Bonnie advanced toward Elena, her chest rising under her rapid heartbeats.
"The earthquake closed the entrance to the catacombs." Enzo informed the witch.
"What?" Bonnie raised her right hand over her chest.
"Fuck! Fuck!" Kol winced, before sending his closed fist in the wall placed in front of his sight. "How are we going to keep contact with them now?"
"Hey, hey, hey … Enough with the demolition, would you?" Damon exclaimed to the Original.
"Bonnie, is there any way you could reopen the entrance of the catacombs?" Elena asked, hopeful.
"I don't know…" The young witch shook her head, suddenly unbalanced by the series of events that had occurred the past hour.
"The portal is still open; or the dog wouldn't be present with us." Enzo pointed toward the fireplace.
"What do you mean?" Stefan asked with arms crossed over his chest.
"That dog has been assigned to the supernatural world as a protector of all entrances, and this in all worlds, if the portal had been destroyed for good, or even if it was the only door, it wouldn't be present with us as of now." Enzo explained.
"I think he has a good point." Damon nodded, in agreement.
"Do you think that you could still try to make contact with Elijah?" Kol approached Bonnie, before drowning his sight in hers.
"I could try …" She shrugged her shoulders, hopeful.
"The winds are intensifying." Stefan approached the windows, his sight drown in the darkness of the storm outside.
"If we only have to go against the unchain elements of nature, at least we should be safe, here, no?" Enzo spoke out loud, while placing himself near Stefan's standing position.
"That's the thing; the all town is under some sort of a reverse spell of the Seven Sins." Kol informed.
Enzo and Stefan turned on themselves, before facing the group, hands placed on each side of their waists.
"What … What do you mean by that?" Elena asked, with a speechless expression plastered on her face.
"We were on the Mystic Falls Grill when the storm started; and at the same time strange behaviors were occurring." Damon explained.
"What do you mean by strange behaviors?" Elena inquired more.
"They were arguing between themselves, customer to customer, employee to employee, and all have the same discussion about their own "envy"." Stefan informed the brunette.
"But, you weren't arguing about that subject yourselves, were you?" Bonnie asked, in confusion. "And I certainly wasn't arguing the subject either?" She turned to glance at Kol.
"No, but neither you nor she are humans." Enzo shrugged.
"But, I'm human!" Bonnie pointed toward her own chest.
"A human witch, technically you're considered a supernatural entity." Kol nodded in agreement of Enzo's say.
"Ok, she is a witch, but I'm certainly not!" Elena shook her head, in disagreement. "I'm entirely human."
"You were in my company, standing at a few feet of distance of the portal." Enzo came to the conclusion. "Therefore, you must have been under some kind of protection related to it."
"But what will happen when the next Sin will come?" Elena asked, with her eyes widely open. "When I won't' be standing at a few feet of distance from the portal?"
"Well … You'll probably act like an irrational spoiled brat." Stefan replied. "No offense intended!" He added; both hands rose as a compassionate gesture.
"You'll basically be yourself, don't worry too much, sweetheart." Enzo winked at her, playfully.
"Go fuck yourself, Enzo!" Elena spitted at his face, chin raised.
"It will be my pleasure." He added, with a huge grin plastered on his face.
"Hey, what's going on with you two?" Damon placed himself between the two, eyeing his friend suspiciously. "What were you doing near the portal anyway?"
"I was looking for answers, as you are, my friend." Enzo replied, evasively. "I saw that Elena was in time-watch in front of the portal, and we simply share a little chat, did we, gorgeous?"
Elena started, wincing at Enzo's imply; before lowering her sight on the wooden floor. This was neither the place nor the time to discuss that shitty character with both Stefan and Damon.
"We need to stay put together; we have no way of knowing what will come in the next seven days. But; I'll bet you my pretty ass, that it won't be pretty." Stefan suggested. "I'll go lock and secure all entrances." He nodded, before straddling the debris to reach the exit of the room.
"I'll go with you." Damon exclaimed, before rushing behind his brother heels.
"I'll go too." Elena added; suddenly retained by a firm grip on her right forearm.
"Scare of staying behind in my company, sweetheart?" Enzo raised an eyebrow, mockingly.
"Let go of my arm, now; or I'll blur out the truth to all of them!" Elena warned him, in a low threatening whisper.
"And what truth is that? Is it the one that you'd want nothing more than to jump my bones at the moment?" Enzo teased, before freeing the brunette of his strong grip. "Get your facts straight before opening your lovely lips, would you, Elena?"
Elena eyed him, coldly, one last time; before turning on her heels to leave the room.
"How am I supposed to go against Shinichi? His power is way superior than mine?" Bonnie whispered to the Original, who was now standing by her side, in front of the windows.
"I have an idea that I was keeping as last resort." Kol confessed, in a lower tone of voice.
"You care to share, or I'll need to drag it out of your mouth?" Bonnie raised an eyebrow, questioning.
"There's that lethal arm that could help us, but you have to promise me to keep it quiet for the time being, even to the others?" Kol drowned his sight in the witch's, his right hand firmly holding Bonnie's chin.
"What is it?" She asked, hopeful.
"Promise me first?" He insisted, while tilting his head.
"I promise." Bonnie replied, against all odds. It's not that she wanted to trust that Original, but what other choices would come to her?
"And, it's more who it is!" He replied over Bonnie's mouth opened expression.
Egypt – City of Cairo – 1593…
Katherine stumbled inside the tent, coughing and spitting sand from the deepness of her lungs. Granted being a vampire was helping a lot in the breathing process, but it was not forbidding the sand from entering every orifices of her body.
"Katherine, stay inside for the time being, I'll need to find Rebekah; before we'll be able to find shelter ourselves!" Elijah stormed inside, close behind her heels, while strongly coughing himself. "Promise me to not wonder around in the middle of this sand storm?"
"I won't be able to stay here for long, Elijah; the sand will infiltrate the tent in a matter of minutes." She replied, while grabbing his left forearm with her right hand, in desperation. "We need to find shelter as quickly as possible."
"I know that, but it's also my obligation to find my sister, Katerina." He grabbed her hand, before bringing it to his lips, softly kissing the sensitive spot in the inside of her wrist. "Be safe, ok?" He suggested, his sight drown in the brunette's. "I'll come back as quickly as I can, I swear."
"Worst case scenario, you'll run after me, right?" She teased, nervously swallowing a lump in her throat.
Elijah let a timid smile spread on his lips; a glimpse of interest reaching his dark eyes.
"Would you like that?" He questioned, with a raised eyebrow. "Would you like for me to keep running after you?"
Katherine stood silent for a few seconds, her teeth biting into the thin skin of her bottom lip. Answering this question would mean sharing the deepness of her soul with the Original, was she ready for that?
"I'll be back soon." He finally nodded over her silence, turning around to reach the exit of the tent.
"Elijah!" She yelled, holding him on his momentum, by rushing toward his standing position.
"Yes?" He responded, while turning his head and sight toward her standing position.
"Come back to me, please?" She begged him, rising on the tips of her toes, with both hands cupping his scruff face, before crushing her lips on his. The Original started at first; astonishment soon replaced by him returning the favor, by a kiss.
"Why… Why are you kissing me now, Katerina?" Elijah mouthed the words on top of her trembling lips, with his right hand holding her chin in place. "Look at me?"
"Splurge of the moment, I guess? Call it a good luck charm if you most." The brunette swallowed hard, her trembling long eyelashes brushing her cheeks. She finally managed to raise her sight in the Original's; tip of her tongue slowly sliding on her bottom lip.
"Is it all of it?" Elijah wondered out loud; his fingers sliding a few of her loose strands behind her ears. "Or is there… more?" He whispered, his breath caressing her right cheek, his lips softly biting her earlobe.
"You know me, Elijah … I do things for my own benefit." Katherine shrugged; half-lying, with an intense fire spreading in her entire body, from the heart of her core. She felt his lips sliding languorously on her neck, creating a range of shivers in her spine. "Maybe… Maybe, all I want is for you to come back in one piece, to assure my own safety?" She lied through her teeth.
"Or maybe you can't deny yourself of the truth anymore, the same being what we both knew from the first time our eyes met?" He whispered, his teeth softly biting the tender skin on her right shoulder; while both hands were trailing the delicious curve of her lower back.
"Oh Elijah … Don't…Please…" She moaned her pleasure, while contradicting her say; both hands rising at the base of his neck, fingers playing with the longer strands of his dark hair.
"Don't… What? You want me to stop, or you don't want me to stop?" He whispered the question, his lips rising upward on her neck, before trailing her jaw to land on her lips, only to nibble on her bottom one.
"We weren't meant for this… We weren't even meant to meet again?" Katherine mouthed, with both contradictions playing in her head.
"And yet, here we are?" He replied, both hands cupping her face; his sight locked with her. "You'll decide, but it will be the last I'll wait for you, just be warned?" He added, abruptly, before releasing his sensual grip on her; only to turn on his heels to leave the tent; under Katherine's speechless expression.
"It's almost ironic, would you say? The way you're begging him to acknowledge your presence, if I may say?" Katherine heard the voice addressed its say to her. "Throwing kisses at him, hoping that he will magically fall back in love with you."
The vampire slowly turned on her heels to face the female intruder who had slowly pushed one of the fabric panels to finally show her presence in the tent. She should have known that the female Kisune would not make it easy for her, and would soon retaliate.
"Misao … I guess it's time, isn't it?" Katherine positioned herself behind the wooden table, in what could only be a predicament of a fight between the two females.
"Yes, I guess we've reached the time that you will die under my hands, Katherine." Misao confirmed, a pernicious smile raising both sides of her lips. "You know, you would never be his match, after all; I'm not about to let him disappear a second time from my life, or to let him be with you."
"Considering that the first time he had killed you, can we really call this a disappearing act from his part?" Katherine replied, slyly, and with a raised chin. "I think it was more a finale goodbye than anything else, would you say?"
"This conversation is futile, Katherine, simply for the fact that when the curse will be finally be set into place, you were meant to die either by my brother's hands or mine." Misao shrugged her shoulders, fatalist. "You have no purpose in our world, and you're an obstacle between me and the man that I want."
"He doesn't want you; he doesn't want anything to do with you." Katherine mumbled, angrily, between her clenched teeth.
"And he does want "you" I suppose?" Misao placed her opened palms on each side of her tensed body, nails elongating under her supernatural transformation. "The woman that he kept chasing after for centuries; I'm a Queen in this world, Katherine; therefore I'm the one who will decide of Elijah's destiny and of your own." She added, taking steps forward toward her victim.
"A Queen… I thought Caroline Forbes would take that title in a couple of days, joining her faith with the one of your brother?" Katherine commented, tit for tat. If only Elijah would come back now? But, he had barely left the tent a few minutes ago; therefore, she would be forced to battle this demoniac and delusional female Kitsune.
Misao blenched over Katherine's say, a loud growl of the fox escaping her lips.
"You're either fearless or stupid, Katherine." Misao busted, the tips of her black hair slowly turning red. "Do you know that a single scratch from my claws could kill you?" The Kitsune mentioned. "Goodbye Katherine Pierce!" She added, howling loudly; before spreading toward her victim.
The whirlwind took both, Rebekah and Matt, by surprise. The female member of the Originals family had managed to escape Shinichi's palace by driving Matt through several dungeons corridors, a few bloody fights, and a "too easy way out" of the palace, considering the Kitsune was in fact the master of that place. But, Rebekah had not time to overthink that disturbing fact; she needed to act promptly to bring the young human man into safety of both the storm and Shinichi's evil plan.
They stumbled through the ground of a few streets in the city; while keeping heads down, bumping into a few passers that were frantically rushing inside lime houses to find shelter from this hell of a storm.
"Put the scarf around your head and mouth, keep your head down and try to take shallow breathing through the fabric." Rebekah yelled, through the intense commotion surrounding them. "It will lower the amount of sand you'll breathe or take into your mouth."
"What about you?" Matt yelled to bury the loud sound of the wind.
"I'm fine; I'll cover my mouth with my hood." She reassured him. "We need to get out of the city; the storm is taking in intensity; and only God knows what Shinichi has planned after this?"
"I agree." Matt nodded, while helping her place the large hood on her head and mouth. "I'll lead the way." He suggested.
"No, no … You don't know the city as much as I do." She disagreed, shaking her head. "Keep yourself close behind my heels, would you?"
"Rebekah?" Matt called her name, unexpectedly pulling her near his chest.
"Yes?" She raised her sight in his blue gaze.
"Be careful, alright?" He wished for her safety.
"I'm eternal, remember?" She winked, a timid smile blessing both corners of her lips. "We need to leave now!" She ordered, gently; turning back on her heels to lead the path.
"Wait!" Matt grabbed both of her shoulders, turning Rebekah's body around; before crashing his mouth on hers.
''What is this for?" Rebekah questioned, surprised by Matt's present action to seduce her.
"I don't know … Just realizing some things, I guess." Matt shrugged, redness reaching both of his cheeks.
"Ok, let's leave now." She blushed herself, before rushing into the stormy streets of the city.
"Rebekah, watch out!" Matt was only able to warn her with a loud scream; witnessing a wooden beam coming from the sky, and falling on Rebekah's head a second later, before seeing her lifeless body fell on the ground. "Rebekah!" He yelled her name, rushing to kneel by her side.
"Matt!" The call came like a small murmur in the middle of the storm's growls. "What happened?" Elijah knelled near his sister's lying body.
"Elijah? I don't know … I mean, I do … But it happened so quickly. A beam came from nowhere and hit her on the head." Matt explained, evasively.
"Ok, ok … She'll be fine." Elijah reassured the young man. "Can you carry her?"
"Yes, yes … I think so." Matt nodded.
"Take her, and leave the streets of the city; soon we won't even be able to breathe through this sand storm. Less than a miles from here, you'll see a cavern, enter inside, it's the best hide-away / shelter that we could find at the moment." Elijah explained.
"Aren't you coming? Rebekah would want you to come with us?" Matt asked, worried by Elijah's absence. "And where the fuck is Caroline?"
"I'm sure Klaus brought her to safety. As for me, I can't go with you, not as of now… I need to go back for Katherine." Elijah shook his head; while keeping the scarf in front of his mouth. "I wanted to make sure that my sister was in good hands, and she is. You need to do as I say, Matt, and bring her into safety, now!" Elijah ordered, before rushing away in his vampire speed.
"Yes, Master Mikaelson, I'll do as you ask!" Matt mumbled, angrily, between his teeth, wincing at the huge ego of the Original, tying both sides of his scarf behind his head. He hated both Elijah and Klaus, but for once; the eldest was right … There was not time to waste or argue. He bended his upper body near Rebekah's unconscious body, before sliding both hands underneath her knees to raise her in his arms. "Don't worry, Rebekah; I'll get you into safety."
Elijah rushed inside the tent, the sand storm had taken a new turn for the worst, and in intensity; the air was almost not breathable anymore. It was more than time for him to bring his Katerina to safety… Did he just think that in his mind? His… To him that woman had always belonged to him? Yes! One hundred times, yes!
"Katherine?" Elijah called her name numerous times, before lowering his sight on the frail and unconscious silhouette lying on the ground near the table. "Katerina… What have happened?" He rushed toward the said called, before kneeling to pick her up in his arms. "Who did this to you?" He noticed the many bloody wounds, her living white complexion leading to believe… to believe that …She was obviously dying. "Misao, I'll hunt you for this!" He finally realized the outcome, lashing out his anger in a loud cry.
Caroline paced back and forth, and paced, and paced again … Over the length of the bank. This small hidden oasis in the cavern, in the middle of a parallel universe, had begun to felt more and more like a prison where her mind couldn't function and she couldn't even breathe! She had turned her back at the swash of water she had heard behind her back, keeping deaf ears and blind eyes at the obvious psychological game Klaus was playing with her mind, body and soul. But, she wasn't able to stop the growing wetness spreading between her legs, the erotic images evading her mind, and the need to turn around to take a peek at his nakedness.
She slowly turned on herself, while peeking between her closed fingers placed over her eyes and face, only to swallow a lump in her throat. Klaus was standing underneath the waterfalls, his head tilted toward the back, eyes closed, both hands pinning his hair to the back. Water was falling freely on his shoulders, down on his muscular chest, to reach his pelvic area where his manhood was lengthening and hardening freely, under the pressure of the water, or so she preferred to believe once more, with the drops finally dying on his legs.
Not to help the intense arousal of all her erotic senses, the bastard was singing…Singing, nonetheless, like he had no worry in the world! She hated him! Or not … What was it?
He slowly lowered both hands on his torso, in round movements of his right one, like he would do by holding an invisible soap. But what set the finale match to her fire, was when he openly, and without a care in the world, grabbed his length to fist himself and stroke it several times.
That is when Caroline Forbes knew she had lost the battle against herself, but, more so, against Klaus…
He sensed her, he would always sense her when she's standing so close to him … He let a smile spread on his manly lips, slowly turning on his heels to face the young woman who stood, both arms crossed over her naked breasts, in the water.
"It took you long enough to join me, Love?" Klaus smirked, victorious, before pulling her near him, grabbing Caroline's waist, only to push her body on the stones wall placed behind their backs, underneath the waterfalls. "What did the trick, me caressing myself?" He questioned, naughtily.
"Ouch! Be careful … I'm human now." She protested, a timid smile spreading on her red lips, raising both hands on his bare chest to grab his shoulders as a way to keep her equilibrium.
"I'm sorry, I tend to forget." Klaus shook his head, grounded himself back into reality, his fiery sight slowly sliding on her naked body… Beautiful perky breasts, thin waist, flat stomach, the triangle of blond hair perfectly covering her Venus mount, her round and perfect hips, long and lean legs. It did not take him long to let both of his hands trail their fingertips where his eyes had beautifully registered all details in his mind. "You're so beautiful, Caroline… You're taking my freaking breath away…" He confessed, humbly; growing even harder that he could for her, before grabbing two hands full of her butt to raise her shaking body on the wall, both of her legs crossed around his waist a few seconds later. "I can't grant you foreplay this time; I only want to burry myself in the deepness of you." He growled, placing his length at the damped entrance of her core.
"Klaus, please… Please, don't left me hanging this way? I need you … Now!" Caroline pleaded, curving her back in such a way that she could grant him more access inside of her.
"Like this?" He teased, pushing himself an inch more into her narrowed walls, before pulling himself out. "Beg for it, Love?"
"Oh don't tease me like this, please; it's been way too long…I need to feel all of you inside of me!" She begged, panting loudly; while rubbing her pelvic in rhythmic notion.
"Oh sweetheart, even if I wanted to drag it out of you, I'll be the one suffering the most!" Klaus growled, pushing her legs farther apart, only to slide his hard length to the tilt of her core, stretching her walls intensively, in a strong trust that left Caroline screaming for more. "God, you feel so good, you'll be the death of me, Caroline!" He buried his head in her neck, while keeping an intensive pace, his hands cupping the sweet curves of her breasts, with the waterfall splashing a cold relief on their joined bodies.
"Klaus, I'll …" Caroline managed to let the words escape her parted lips, feeling the first waves of an intense orgasm spreading in her toes.
"Come for me, my love… I'll join you soon." Klaus whispered, before owling to the storm outside; with one final, hard push that left her breathless and him wanting for more.
Caroline had always been his true "mate"; and soon he'll make sure she'll be back at his equal.
Mystic Falls … Present time …
Enzo lied on the bed, a book resting on his chest. When was the last time he has had the chance to read? He couldn't recall exactly? He suddenly raised an eyebrow, alerted by the subtle sound of the door squeaking on its arch; all sense in alert. The evening has set its dark curtains over Mystic Falls, but the storm was still at its peak outside, if not more intense than before. Brutus rose on his legs, ready to protect him if necessary, but of what exactly?
"It's me." He heard the female voice; before seeing Elena close the panel behind her back.
"Well, well, well… To what do I owe this pleasure, gorgeous?" Enzo exclaimed, while jumping away from his lying position on the bed.
"I thought that maybe you would like for me to join you in your bedroom?" Elena shrugged, seductress, passing her light sweater over her head, only to throw the fabric on the wooden floor; before standing in her lace bra in front of Enzo's sight.
"Nice offer, but for some reason I can't believe this is genuine?" He grabbed both of her wrists, before she could slide her hands underneath his t-shirt.
"Don't you want me?" She raised her imploring eyes, red lips in offering.
"Oh, damn you, Elena; you know that I do." He lowered his sight on her rising chest, before pushing both of her arms behind her back, with a firm grip of his left arm, bringing her in full contact with his muscular chest, only to raise his right hand to palpate the delicate curve of her breasts. "You're so beautiful…" He whispered, his soft breath following the line of her right cheek and jaw, before softly brushing her lips. "But … I also know that you're under the curse and one of its sins called "Lust"."
"I don't know what you mean?" Elena shook her head; softly nibbling on his bottom lip, the center of her body rubbing languidly on his crotch area.
"Elena, get a grip on this "thing", we can't do this…Not now, that is." Enzo winced, eyes closed; while trying to regain his sense of decency and self-control. "Though, I feel extremely touched that I was your first choice while being under this naughty spell." He added, smirking; her lips now trailing on the left side of his neck. "Not Damon, not Stefan … Me, that is saying something."
"I want to feel you hard inside of me!" She confessed, biting his earlobe.
"Geez, so do I, gorgeous… But, I don't think it would suit everybody else's agenda at the moment." Enzo grinned. "And, you would hate yourself in the morning…. Actually, you would hate yourself now, if only you knew what you're saying to me." He giggled, nervously; while letting his hands reached the delicious curves of her behind.
"Can we kiss, at least?" Elena begged him, reaching the buckle of his leather belt.
"Which part of my anatomy do you plan to kiss, anyway?" Enzo lowered his sight, suspiciously, an eyebrow arching in surprise.
"Do you have to ask?" She giggled like six years old, while sucking on one of her finger.
"Oh fuck me! It's not because I'm not allowed to eat the menu, that I can't at least take an appetizer, right?" He shrugged, fatalistically; before raising Elena in his arms, only to drop her unceremoniously on the bed, under her laughing sounds.
"I'm soaked!" Bonnie exclaimed, unhappy; while giving jolt to her parka jacket.
"It's water, it won't kill you!" Kol exclaimed, while closing the entrance door behind his back, under the strong winds outside.
"And what about the tree branches that almost killed me on our way here?" She pointed a forbidden finger underneath his nose.
"Oh come on, it was fun!" Kol replied, teaser. "You'd be bored to death if there was no excitement in your life, admit it?"
"It's a storm like no others outside and I had to get out of safety to follow you here, under complete secrecy, which part is fun again?!" Bonnie asked, unhappy.
"Are you always so vindictive, or it's only for my behalf, darling?" Kol raised his lips into a smirk.
"Oh, it's definitely the second choice, "darling"!" Bonnie imitated the Original's accent.
"Oh Bonnie Bennett likes me!" Kol shook a finger underneath her nose, to which she grabbed it and pushed it away.
"Not likely in this century or the next millennium!" She replied, wincing.
"And yet you were moaning under my kisses this morning in your dream, remember?" He whispered, smiling, near her left ear.
"Call it a moment of insanity form my part." She frowned.
"There's no more electricity." Kol noticed while raising the switch on and off a couple of times. "I guess the storm did a number on the city power lines."
"What do you mean, it's off?" Bonnie replied, while approaching the Original's standing position, before trying herself. "We won't have light?"
"Yes, it's off – which means no light, what a brilliant deduction from your part, little witch!" Kol grinned, striking the tip of her nose, to which she rolled her eyes in return.
"Why did you bring me in Klaus's mansion in all places?" Bonnie wondered out loud.
"Because it's here that we could possibly find the lethal weapon we could release into the world, to beat Shinichi at his own game." He informed her, in a more serious tone of voice.
"When you're saying it like this, it's like you will release something or someone who's worse than Shinichi into this world?" Bonnie replied, a shiver hitting her spine.
"It's not far from the truth, Bonnie; that person is wicked, even more that you could wish to know." Kol replied, while reaching a desk in the parlor room, before lighting a candle with a match. "Well, it is way better now, would you say?" He raised the candle in his hand, smiling. ''You never know what monster could lurk in the dark after all, darling.'' He winked.
''Can you go straight to the point, why are we here, and how is this supposed to help us win the war against Shinichi?'' Bonnie demanded, firmly; arms firmly crossed over her chest, while standing over the threshold.
''Beg me…'' Kol replied, leaning his back on the desk, a smirk raising both corners of his lips.
''I beg your pardon?" Bonnie stared at him, speechless.
"No, not my "pardon", a simple kiss will suffice… I think it's a fair trade." He shrugged, amused. "You kiss me, and I'll tell you all about this secret weapon."
"Are you out of your freaking mind?" Bonnie exploded, pacing back and forth on the length of the Persia rug placed at her feet at the entrance of the room. "The world is falling apart as we know it, your siblings are stock in a past dimension, and you're playing your charm routine on me?"
"Oh this is not even my charm routine, darling; but to be fair if the world is falling apart wouldn't it the best time to share a kiss?" He shrugged, fatalist. "It's not when we'll all disappear that we'll be able to do it, right?"
"You … You … You…." Bonnie repeated, furiously, reaching Kol's position, only to stumble through her say, with a straight pointed finger at his chest.
"Yes?" He raised both eyebrows in a comical way. "Are you trying to tell me something?"
"You infuriate me to no end!" She stomped her feet on the marble floor, closed fists placed on each side of her tensed body.
"And there you go! It's just an additional reason why you should relax by kissing me." Kol grabbed Bonnie's left wrist, before pulling her into the comfort of his arms, only to take her by surprise by grabbing her chin and crashing his lips on hers.
Bonnie kept immobile, her lips tightly closed together, eyes widely opened; while trying to the best of her present capacity to abstract of her mind the intense fire reaching her core the minute his lips has touched hers… fire… that was dangerously spreading in her entire body at the moment.
"You're fighting it, why?" Kol mouthed the words, while softly nibbling on Bonnie's bottom lip.
Bonnie slowly raised her sight in his dark glance; a lump forming in her throat.
"You don't know me, Kol Mikaelson!" She granted herself the right breath, mouthing the words on top of his manly lips, an almost unperceivable moan escaping her lips.
"I know you better than you know yourself, Bonnie Bennett!" Kol replied, before capturing her lips once more, this time around while being able to slide his tongue inside her warm mouth.
Bonnie moaned, louder, soon returning his kisses, with both of her hands rising on his chest, her fingers brushing the loose strands at the base of his neck.
The Original swirled both of them around, only to push the brunette's body on the wall, with both of his hands sliding on the curves of her bottom, to raise her in his arm, her legs crossing around his waist.
"I grant you a kiss … We can't do more…" Bonnie managed to free her swollen lips from his. "We need to find what you came here for…. We need to stop Shinichi."
"Damn!" Kol brought her back to her feet, pushing himself away from temptation, while passing the back of his right hand on his parted lips. "I hate when the witch is right!" He winked.
"Isn't it always the case?" Bonnie teased, while replacing her clothes. The only reason she had kissed him was to make him agree to this … Or so she was trying to convince herself!
"Come!" He ordered; interlacing his fingers with hers to pull her behind his heels, while grabbing the candle with his left hand.
"Where are we going?" Bonnie asked, dumbfounded.
"My brother's mansion basement, or if you prefer: the dungeon!" He replied, smirking.
Egypt – City of Cairo – 1593…
"Was the sand storm even necessary as special effect?" Mikael asked the Kitsune, before grabbing a jug to pour a cup of wine. "May I serve you a cup of wine?"
"You think it's my doing?" Shinichi arched an eyebrow, amusement plastered on his face. "Thank you." He nodded at the offer.
"Isn't it?" Mikael inquired, before handing Shinichi a golden cup.
"Actually, it's not… Surprising, isn't it? Let just say that I've opened the gate to death spirits and the death spirits are not happy with me at the moment, in fact they are quite offended." Shinichi shrugged, fatalist.
"Inari?" Mikael wondered out loud, while taking a lying position on a few cushions placed on the marble floor.
"Among others, yes." Shinichi replied, evasively; while taking place on his throne.
"Well, you're taking a big risk while playing with fire, would you say "mon ami"?" Mikael commented out loud; while coughing into a handkerchief. "Damn sand, even with the wood panels in front of the windows, it's still infiltrating the palace."
Both gigantic doors suddenly opened, letting inside the parlor a few guards, with one of them advancing toward Shinichi.
"Master, if I may?" The man bowed, respectfully, in front of the Kitsune.
"Speak…" Shinichi replied; mostly annoyed by the interruption.
"They took the path toward one of the caverns, to find shelter against the sand storm we can only suppose." The man informed, while keeping his head and sight down.
"Perfect, you can go now." Shinichi dismissed the guard, with a hand gesture.
"They… Who are "they"?" Mikael asked with a narrowed sight on his host.
"My beloved fiancée and your bastard son, first, closely followed by the lovely Katherine Pierce, your son Elijah and daughter Rebekah, and this "Why is he even here?" Matt Donovan." Shinichi listed, smirking.
"And you let this happen? You're surprising me, Shinichi?" Mikael commented, before gulping the entirety of his cup of wine.
"Of course, it's a "game", and I love "game"!" Shinichi replied, jumping from his sitting position, to lead his steps toward the table where he grabbed an apple. "I have six remaining days before the curse will take effect, and then this world will become the only world, my "world". I needed an entertainment factor." He shrugged, amused.
"You willingly let your fiancée disappear with my step-son?" Mikael shook his head in disbelief.
"Mikael, you should know my passion for game as of now?" Shinichi replied, winking. "I'll capture her once again, in front of Klaus's imploring eyes to keep her alive." He shared his game plan with the Original. "He'll come once more to save her, and I plan to have a little fight with him in the arena, where I'll finish him off with the ultimate weapon dipping into his heart."
"You're talking about my ex-wife silver-dagger, the one that had killed Alaric Saltzman back in Mystic Falls, aren't you?" Mikael came to the conclusion.
"Yes, the same and only, "Mon ami"." Shinichi grinned, while biting into his apple. "And then Caroline will cry over her lover's departure, but nevertheless, she'll share my bed as my wife."
"What about my children?" Mikael raised an eyebrow, suspiciously.
"You're feeling nostalgic of parenthood, Mikael?" Shinichi asked, teaser.
"I just want to be prepared." The Original shrugged, mostly indifferent.
"Well, don't get too attached then; or you could shed a tear or two very soon." Shinichi replied, tilting his head toward the back, laughing.
Mystic Falls … Present time …
Kol pushed the large dungeon door under an acute creaking sound, before letting Bonnie passed in front of him.
"What is this place, a torture chamber for Klaus's sadistic games?" She winced, disdainfully.
"You wish! This could actually be fun for the both of us if this was the case." He mocked, winking. "Ah! I knew "she" would be here!"
"She …Who are you talking about?" Bonnie wondered out loud; her eyes fixated on the coffin placed in front of her sight.
"My mother… Esther Mikaelson!" Kol replied, proudly; while standing beside the coffin.
"Wait? What …. Esther Mikaelson is actually inside this coffin? Are you kidding me?" Bonnie busted, eyes widely opened.
"Not even a little bit! Klaus has always loved to keep the members of his family near him." Kol replied, sarcastically. "Give me a hand, would you, darling?"
"I thought you were the new version of Hulk or something, all strong and powerful Original?" Bonnie teased, while rushing by the Original's side to help him out.
"Oh, is this what we could call: Bonnie's sense of humor?" Kol titled his head, grinning. "You know that l would gladly open it, if I didn't think a spell had been put to keep the damn cover closed!" He added. "Could you open it with magic?"
"I think I won't need magic." Bonnie pointed toward the up-left corner, realizing it had already been opened, before giving it a final push herself. "Kol, it's empty!" She exclaimed, in shock; before turning her sight toward the Original.
"Damn!" He swore under clenched teeth; both closed fists placed on each side of his tensed body. "And now, whoever has her means business as much as we do." Kol commented. "The question is will it be to our advantage or disadvantage?"
Egypt – City of Cairo – 1593…
Mikael Mikaelson kept his face covered of a scarf; head bend to look at his feet, the only way to forbid sand to enter his nasals and mouth. He pushed a steel door leading him to the catacomb, placed underneath Shinichi's palace. A smirk appeared on his lips. He had fooled the Kitsune, since day one, while placing underneath his nose one of the key elements to forbid him to succeed at destroying the world as we knew it now.
He finally reached his destination, while leading his steps toward a corner of the corridor to finally approach an alcove where a silhouette was kept prisoner, both wrists and ankles attached to the stones wall.
"Hello my dear, did you have a nice day?" He greeted, perniciously; before pushing down the gag placed over the victim's mouth.
"Fuck you, Mikael!" The voice replied, spitting her saliva on his face.
"Now, now … Esther, that is not lady-like and is certainly not a way to talk to your husband?" He replied, while wiping his face with the scarf fabric.
"You should have kept me in my coffin, in Klaus's mansion; at least I was free of seeing your despicable face in front of me!" Esther lashed out, while closing her restrained hands in anger. "Death would also be better than enduring your presence!"
"Perhaps, but then you wouldn't be able to stop the Kitsune for destroying the world, would you?" He arched an eyebrow.
"I won't help you." She shook her head, obstinate.
"Listen to me woman, and listen to me well!" Mikael grabbed her chin in his right hand; forcing Esther to raise her sight in his cold glance. "The world will disappear as we know it now; Shinichi will become the master of this new universe, for eternity! Now, tell me, do you want that?"
"No one wants that, Mikael! Why do you think the divinity Inari had put a curse on the Kitsunes centuries ago, if not to protect the circle of nature as we know it now?" Esther replied, dryly.
"Then do something about it, bring Inari back; change the curse of the future!" Mikael exclaimed, loudly. "Save our children of agonizing deaths form the hands of that monster!"
"Isn't it ironic and hypocrite of your part, that at some point in your life you wanted the blood of your children on your hands also?" She kept her teary eyes locked with his.
"You must be talking about yourself then, my dear?" He replied, tit for tat. "And you seem to forget that it was the blood of your bastard son that I wanted the most. And now, I want it on my hands, and not on the ones of that Kitsune!"
"At least, I've never hidden who I really was or what my true intentions were, in opposite you'd played the savior by calling yourself a vampire hunter, it's pathetic, Mikael!" She spat the truth to his face.
Mikael winced at his wife's say, a nerve twitching in the inside of his right cheek.
"It's not about you or me anymore, it's not about what we used to be, become or has wished to accomplish, Esther… It's about the world as we know it that will soon disappear for good if you're not willing to help save it!" He mumbled, angrily, between his teeth.
Esther swallowed a lump in her throat, lowering her sight away from his insistence glance.
"Ok … I'll try to stop Shinichi and his reverse curse." She replied, nodding her head in agreement.
