CHAPTER VII

"You sure are eager to learn how to fight and be involve in this war, sweet Caroline" Kol commented

He was holding the punching bag so that it won't swing so rapidly every time Caroline hit it

"I don't want to sit in the corner and let you all do the dirty work" Caroline huffed "I happen to live here too"

"You just don't like to be left out" Katherine piped in. She was drinking blood to replenish her strength, she just finished her spar with Caroline

Katherine and Kol were the ones helping Caroline train right now since the others have their own missions to accomplish

Few hours after Klaus gave in to Caroline's request. Caroline immediately told Klaus that she wants to start on that day. Klaus, who was too tired to argue, requested to give him a few hours then they'll start their training

The others popped in from time to time to watch them train and give their own opinions. They also showed and taught her their own moves to fill in her knowledge about fighting

Early in the morning, Caroline and Klaus started their training. Caroline, showing them the moves that she learned

"Carebear, I think you should also need to learn how to be resourceful in your surroundings" Katherine suggested. "Don't just improve your physical strength but also how to act if you are suddenly in an unexpected situation"

"She meant that you need to learn how to be sneaky and manipulative, darling" Kol quipped

"And how am I suppose to do that?" Caroline asked and placed her hands on her waist

"By observing, of course!" Katherine answered "Or by taking advantage of your charms and beauty" winking at Caroline

Kol smirked, "Ohhh I like how you think Petrova. So Caroline darling, how about you try your charms on me?"

Caroline made a face, "I know about that already. I apparently did a lot of successful blonde distractions in Mystic Falls"

Kol snorted, "That's because my brother made it easy for you. Come on, try! or are you shy?" Kol grinned, "Afraid you'll fall for me instead?"

Katherine scoffed, "Who is she? Elena?"

Caroline glared at Katherine, "Kat"

"People! What's with the chit chat?" Klaus announced as he entered the training room "Sweetheart, I think your eagerness to learn is decreasing, do you still want to continue?" Klaus grinned at Caroline

Caroline rolled her eyes, "Katherine keeps on talking. It's distracting me!"

Katherine glared at Caroline, "Honey, I was just suggesting some ways"

"I doubt sweet Caroline's eagerness is decreasing, Nik! She's training nonstop without taking a break!" Kol complained

Klaus smirks, "It's a good thing that I brought this with me then," and showed them some blood bags "Come sweetheart, replenish your strength. I'll teach you some ways how to kill after this"

Caroline nodded and grabbed the blood bag that Klaus was offering her. Once she took a sip, she didn't know she was that hungry, that's why she was done with it in a matter of seconds. She grabbed another one, "Easy love, Take your time" Klaus said and patted her back

Kol grinned, "So, we're showing Caroline how to kill now? Are you sure you're okay with that, darling?"

Caroline glared at him instead

"It's good that you're trying to embrace your vampire characteristics, Care but you have to embrace it fully. A vampire is a predator, Care. It is in our instinct to kill" Katherine lectured

"I'm aware of that already!" Caroline snapped then realizing her mistake and Katherine was just helping her, "I'm sorry Kat... It's just that. . . . "

"No need to explain,love. We understand. We're not asking you to kill every now and then. We're just taking precautions here" Klaus said

Kol snorted, "It's weird to hear it from you Nik, coming from someone who's impulsive and kills everyone when he's not pleased"

"Kol!" Klaus warned, "You're the one to talk, you love bloodshed!"

"Yep. It excites me" Kol answered casually, "The begging, screaming and blood" Kol smirked

Caroline and Katherine looked at him, disgusted

"Now, now darlings. Don't look at me like that" Kol tutted, "I'm still the handsome, charming youngest Mikaelson male. It just so happens that I have a bad side. Everybody has a bad side"

Katherine nodded, "I can't say that I don't agree with you there, baby Mikaelson"

Kol turned to glare at her

Klaus was staring at Caroline after Kol said his words of wisdom. Caroline has a thoughtful expression in her face. Klaus will pay a million of dollars just to know what she is thinking right now. Her opinion on this subject matters to him because he, himself, ha a dark side, a very dark side. He was waiting for her to voice out her opinion but instead, she just shook her head which left Klaus disappointed

"Come sweetheart, Let's start" Klaus said

Caroline nodded and put her blood bag away, she stood in front of Klaus, exhaling "Ready"

"In fighting, there's a rhythm, a beat, a pattern" Klaus started raising his voice since Katherine and Kol are still arguing in the background

"A pattern?" Caroline asked. Klaus nodded, "Attack, sweetheart"

Caroline did what she was instructed, she attack using a double punch. Klaus blocked all her attacks. "Parar" Klaus commanded. Caroline ceased from attacking, she stood straighter. "Show me all you've learn, love" Klaus said

Caroline threw a punch then kick then elbow. Klaus still blocking all her attacks. "La halte" Klaus commanded when he saw Caroline panting hard

They started again and again and again. Klaus, noticing that Caroline is now starting to have a pattern in her attacks, smirked. "Femarsi" Klaus commanded

Caroline was exhaling hard now. They're vampires which means that their strengths are doubled so does the force of blocking from Klaus are doubled. What intrigues Klaus was Caroline's eyes were shining which means that she realized something and now she's determined to try it out

They started again, this time, Caroline was adding some turning kicks and using side steps that Kol taught her. Klaus, pleased to see her improvements, decided to sneak some attacks too so that Caroline will learn how to block some attacks in between fights

When they both arrived in a state where they attacked and at the same time blocked an attack, Klaus nodded in approval and smirked, "When you establish your pattern ..."

Caroline smirked at him in return and suddenly turned and pinned Klaus on the wall, "You change it"

Caroline was looking at Klaus, pleased at herself , and Klaus was looking at her, proud. Caroline's arm was locking Klaus on the wall while the other one is just above his heart

They were both panting hard from their fights when Klaus asked, "The head or the heart?"

Caroline looked at him, confused, "None of this means anything if you can't make the final blow, love" Klaus stated

Caroline's eyes flashed some uncertainty and her hold on Klaus loosen. "What if I can't do it?" She asked in a low voice, afraid that she might disappointed him

Klaus smiled at the thought of Caroline's goodness and grabbed her hand that was loosened and place it in his heart "You will...to survive" Klaus looked at her, daring her, "Now, the head or the heart?"

Caroline gritted her teeth and pushed her hand into Klaus' heart. Klaus winced a bit but was still staring at Caroline who did the same. Hesitation was present in her eyes but Klaus just smiled at her, encouraging her

"Only Caroline can capture Nik's heart and have Nik encouraging her instead of cursing to death" Kol commented

"Even at this sight, the sexual tension between these two is still heavy as fuck" Katherine piped in

"What do you expect? The heart is the second most important organ after. . . . you know" Kol wiggled his brows.

"Urgh" Katherine groaned

They stopped arguing when they realized that Klaus and Caroline started training. They both watched as Klaus threw in some commands and opinions while they were fighting

Caroline released Klaus' heart and stepped away, "Does it hurt? Of course, stupid! Are you still hurting?" Caroline ranted. Klaus snickered, "I'm fine,love. How does it feel to hold my heart?"

Caroline looked at her hand, "It feels weird. It feels like I have a responsibility"

"That's true because you're the only one who captured my heart like this"Klaus winked

Katherine and Kol snorted, "Really Nik?" , "Argh. I hope to never hear those words again"

Caroline flushed and groaned, "Klaus" she whined. Klaus chuckled and held her waist, "Can't help it, love"

"I'm actually surprise, darling. I thought you have a bit of a background of fighting since you're always the bait or distraction especially to that powerful being" Kol said

Caroline shook her head, "It was either neck snapping or stab immediately in Mystic Falls"

Kol whistled, "And here I thought that the Salvatore brothers knew better than that since they are already lived for a century"

"What do they know about supernatural war, Kol? The younger one has a problem with blood and the other one just want to be bad" Katherine barked

"Enough!" Klaus scolded before another argument breaks out between the two "Elijah and Bekah will be here at any moment now. Let's hope they found some good news"

~~~~~ BECOMING A PRIORITY ~~~~~

Camille woke up surrounded by darkness. Camille panicked and found herself being tied, hands up

"Hello? Anyone there?"

"Can someone please help me?"

Camille groaned when there were no response

"Not again"

Camille tried to pull her hands hoping that the ropes will be broken

"Hello?! Someone help!"

"Quiet human" someone scolded

"Who are you?" Camille asked

Two figures stepped out from the shadows

Camille gasped, "You're Sophie's sister"

"You're right. I'm Jane and this is Agnes" Jane introduced

"Witches" Camille said, glaring

"I see, you're well oriented with the supernaturals" Jane commented

"What do you want?" Camille asked

"To kill the hybrid"

"And what does it have to do with me?"

"You're our leverage" Agnes tutted. Camille scoffed

"You have a deep value to Klaus, Camille"

"And what makes you say that?" Camille asked, curious.

She doesn't care that she's tide down. All she wants to know is that how did the witches come up that she means something to Klaus

"We heard rumors about you. Vampires treating you well for a mere human because of Klaus" Agnes said

Camille hummed, she already heard those rumors but she thought that it was just around vampires, she didn't think the witches heard about it too

"We captured Klaus once because we saw him leaving town" Jane said as she circled around Camille. "We thought he was running away but then I realized he must be coming after you at that time"

Jane took a step closer to Camille, "Because one of my coven tried to kidnap you and the information was leaked. He killed my sister during that time!"

"He tried to save me?" Camille asked, disbelief

"Yes child. Now we know what is his weakness and we're going to lure him here" Agnes said

Camille didn't mind what the witches was saying. All she thought about was that she must really mean something to Klaus. Klaus might actually have some feelings for her

She grinned widely at that thought

"So I really did have an effect to Klaus, after all" Camille smirked, "Klaus will be coming after me and he'll kill you all. He'll save me from you!"

"He'll realize that I'm gone in a matter of hours"

~~~~~ BECOMING A PRIORITY ~~~~~

"Klaus?!" Marcel yelled as he entered the compound "Anyone here?!"

Everyone vamped their way to the living room, where Marcel is

"Marcel, what do you want?" Kol asked

Marcel sighed, "Cami's gone"

Everyone raised an eyebrow at that

"So?" Rebekah sassed

"I was at the Rousseaus' today and I noticed that Cami was still not around so I asked a few daywalkers if they saw Cami. Apparently, the last time that they saw her was the time when she made a scene with Caroline"

"SCENE?!" Klaus outraged

"Oh shush, Klaus!" Caroline scolded

"I went to her house and didn't found her there. I had a search party for her but they didn't found her. Then a witch approached me, saying that they want to see Klaus. She said she has the hold of the life of someone you value"

"Well, they got the wrong one, Caroline's here" Katherine retorted

"So she must have meant Cami, she's being kidnap again" Marcel said

"What do you mean again?" Caroline asked

"Camille was also kidnapped the day the witches captured Nik darling" Kol amswered

"It seems , they too, were under false assumptions. They thought it was Camille that actually meant something to Niklaus" Elijah said

"Klaus" Caroline called out. She was surprised that he stayed quiet in this matter. She saw Klaus clenched his jaw and fists. That's a bad sign. He's mad at something, "Hey, Don't worry. We'll save that Camille" Caroline comforted

"I don't care about that pathetic bartender!" Klaus roared and faced Caroline

"This is exactly the reason why I don't want to let others see what you mean to me! I want to protect you, Caroline!"

"You could have been the one that is currently kidnap right now!"

"But I'm not!" Caroline argued

"They were looking for my weakness. And you're my weakness! And that's what endangers you, Caroline!" Klaus bellowed

"Klaus-" Caroline was about to fight back when Klaus vamped away from her.

Caroline huffed, "What are we going to do now?"

"We're going to save Cami" Marcel declared

Marcel and Elijah brainstormed a plan, instructing everyone on their duties

Caroline was still grumbling in her seat about Klaus and the situation

"Aren't you glad that you were not the one captured?" Rebekah hissed

Caroline huffed, "Actually, it's kind of annoying that they took someone else instead. Meaning that in everyone's eyes, that bartender is far more precious"

Kol and Katherine laughed, "Ohhh, so possessive, darling"

"Oh shut up!" Caroline barked and stood up. "I'll be in my room" and vamped away

"We must act fast so that Camille will be saved immediately" Marcel said

Katherine rolled her eyes, "Please, I'm pretty sure that Camille must be over the clouds right now"

Everyone looked at her questioningly

"If I'm the kidnapper I will gladly explain her purpose and when she knew that it's because of Klaus, that girl will be gloating"

Rebekah nodded, "Yeah, she's still under the impression that she was the one who influenced Nik"

Marcel shook his head at the behavior of the girls , "Whatever. Let's just plan this rescue fast"

"On the contrary, Marcel. We need to plan this out slowly and carefully so that this will be the last one. We still haven't figure out that Celeste matter" Klaus announced as he was back at the living room

He looked around and furrowed his brows

"She's upstairs brother" Elijah said

Klaus nodded and they all started to plan everything

~~~~~ BECOMING A PRIORITY ~~~~~

"Davina?!"

Knock.

Knock.

Knock.

"Are you there? It's Caroline"

The door opened "Caroline? What are you doing here?" Davina asked. Caroline looked around her surroundings first. "Can I come inside, first?" Caroline asked

"Uh, sure" Davina agreed and opened the door widely. Caroline stepped inside. Davina immediately shut door

"Umm" Caroline said as she looked at their other company inside. "Oh, He's Josh, my vampire friend. Josh, Caroline" Davina introduced them

"Nice to meet you, As much as I like to talk but I have important matters to attend to" Caroline said, politely

"Oh-kay" Josh replied, unsure

"Davina, I need your help" Caroline said

"Help for what?" Davina asked

"Camille's been kidnapped" Caroline said

"What?!" Josh and Davina yelled

"I figure you three are friends then. but now is not the time. I need you to do a locator spell" Caroline ordered "But I don't have anything that Cami owned in here"Davina said

"I'll take care of that" Josh said as he vamped away

"We have to act fast before they realize that I'm not in my room" Caroline said

"Is this a solo mission or ..." Davina trailed

"Something like that" Caroline answered. "I need to find that bartender"

"Why are you saving her?" Davina asked

"Long story. I don't have all day" Caroline replied

"Here" Josh said and threw the scarf to Davina

"Get started" Caroline commanded and starts to pace back and forth as Davina sis the spell

When Davina finished, "Where's that?" Caroline asked

"That's the abandon house near the ancestral cemetery. That's where the witches are hiding right now" Davina answered

"Can I have a map in New Orleans to locate this place?" Caroline requested

"I can take you there instead. I'll help you" Josh offered

Caroline inclined her head as if she was thinking about the options, "Okay let's go!"

"Wait! I'll come too" Davina said

"No!" Caroline said, fiercely. "Marcel will be mad once he finds out"

"But!" Davina argued

"And I think they'll try to seek you out later to do a locator spell again. You have to stay here" Caroline commanded "And don't breathe a word about this"

After that, Caroline and Josh left

Davina sighed. She wants to help too

Seeing Caroline's movements today made her remember the way the Original Family moves whenever they are planning something. They won't let other people hold the reins especially Klaus. Caroline commands and excels in quick thinking. She weighs the options very carefully. She can makes you feel that you are doing the right things and just follow her orders.

That must be why she's acquainted with the Original Family, she's similar to them but unlike the originals, you can feel the goodness in her presence and made Davina also wonder why she was acquainted with the Originals

~~~~~ BECOMING A PRIORITY ~~~~~

"We're here" Josh declared

"Shhh. Lower your voice. We don't want the witches around here hear us" Caroline scolded

"Sorry"

"Okay let's do this" Caroline mumbled as she closed her eyes and concentrated on her surroundings. This is one of her trainings. She listened intently

One.

Two.

Four.

Six.

"There are six witches surrounding the place" Caroline said

"Woah. How did you figure that out?" Josh asked

"I had training" Caroline said

"Okay. I can hear Camille's heartbeat inside but it's so slow and that must mean she's really weak or close to death as of the moment. She's accompanied by two witches inside and there are four witches outside, one each every corner" Caroline informed

Josh gaped at her. "Are you listening? Do you want to help or what?" Caroline snapped

"Uh yes. I'm sorry. I'm just ... amazed" Josh stuttered

"Well, I don't have time for your praises, Josh. We have a human to save" Caroline retorted

"Right." Josh mumbled "Why are you trying to save her anyway? I got the impression that you don't like her since you know ... Rousseaus"

"You were there?"Caroline asked

"Yep. Front row seats" Josh joked

"Your friend happen to touch a nerve" Caroline scoffed

Josh hummed

Josh observed Caroline at the moment. She was readying herself with the fight they're about to begin. She's tying her hair into a ponytail. Davina filled him with some information about her. Apparently, she's close with the Originals and actually had a decent conversation with Kol. He knew that there's something to Caroline and he wants to know what is it. The Originals were treating her like she belongs with them and that never happened before. The family was distant to the others, Marcel was closer to them but there was still distance. Cami to, though it was only Klaus who really had a decent conversation with Cami.

"Who's that?" Caroline asked and that snap Josh out from his thoughts.

"That's Sabine. She's a werewolf. I saw her in the bayou once and asked some of my new vampires like me about her. They said that the werewolves were the only supernatural staying in the bayou"

Caroline furrowed her eyebrows after a while, she scrunched her nose, "She's not a werewolf!"

"How did you know?" Josh asked, curious

Caroline shook her head, "Long story"

"She's a witch. She smells like my friend" Caroline said

"How-" Josh said

"Don't ask" Caroline hissed

Caroline let out a deep breath. She looks like she's having an inner struggle "Screw this"

"What's the plan?" Josh asked

"You're going back to the compound"

"What?"

"Don't interrupt!" Caroline glared

"I have to do this alone, Josh. I'm the only one who's going to sneak inside while you have to go back and tell them about this place, okay?"

"Why you?! I should be the one sneaking in, I'm her friend!"

"As much as I disliked that girl, I'm kind of guilty that this happened to her and no, I don't have time to answer your questions. Long story short, It was supposed to be me in her position right now"

"Okay, I can trust you, right?"

"Of course Josh. I also need you to tell the Originals about this. Sabine. Celeste. Same. This is important"

"Sabine. Celeste. Same" Josh repeated

"Tell them that okay? Now go!" Caroline ordered

Josh hesitated then vamped away

Caroline released some air. Oh god. Why am I doing this? When did I ever get this brave? Okay! Caroline Forbes, you can do this! You had training. You can handle yourself

After doing all the necessary things. Caroline put up a brave face. Let's see if Kol's sneaking in lessons paid off

Josh was hiding in an area where he can see the abandon house. He saw Caroline sneaking behind one of the witches and attack them, same goes to the other witches. The last one, she fought a few bit then knocked them all unconscious

"She sure can fight" Josh praised

When Caroline was about to sneak inside, Sabine came out of nowhere and knocked Caroline on her knees. She was screaming. Sabine must be doing that aneurysm. Sbaine grabbed Caroline and pulled her inside the house

"Oh Shit!" Josh cursed

~~~~~ BECOMING A PRIORITY ~~~~~

Caroline was doing a great job fighting with the witches when suddenly her head started to ache

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Sabine said

Caroline was on her knees, "You're Celeste, right?"

Sabine narrowed her eyes. "What do you know about Celeste?"

"You're her" Caroline croaked

"You know, Caroline was it? I really do think that my coven kidnapped the wrong person" Sabine said

Caroline was still clutching her head when Sabine stepped closer to her, "Now, you're the right captive" Sabine smirked and injected her

Caroline felt dizzy then it was black

~~~~~ BECOMING A PRIORITY ~~~~~

Everyone was already gathered at the garden of the compound. Nightwalkers and daywalkers. Everyone listening intently to the plan.

"Josh!" Davina shouted and ran towards Josh "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine" Josh replied

"Where's Caroline?" Davina asked

"Did you just say Caroline?" Rebekah shriek causing everyone to turn to them

Kol immediately vamped away then back

He looked at Klaus, "She's not in her room"

Klaus jaw clenched

"You have a minute to explain before I rip your heart out, Joshua" Klaus eyes turned yellow

Josh tensed up, frightened since he knows that he only bears some bad news. "C-caroline told me to t-tell you about this... S-sabine. C-celeste. Same"

"Oh?! She figured it out!" Kol cheered

"Then we can proceed to the plan" Elijah said

"SILENCE!" Klaus yelled

"Where is Caroline now, Joshua?" Klaus asked as he stepped closer to Joshua

Josh trembled in fear, "S-she's a-abducted" he said it in a low voice

"SHE'S WHAT?!" Klaus roared as he pinned Joshua on the wall, fangs showing

"Klaus!" Katherine stepped in and grabbed Klaus' arm. Klaus turned to her, hybrid face still present

"Katerina!" Elijah also flashed beside Katherine

"Read!" Katherine said and gave her phone to Klaus. Klaus turned his attention to it. After reading it, Rage was now more visible in Klaus' features. He was fuming mad and that made the other vampires cower to the side.

Rebekah and Kol peeked on the message and shook their heads, laughing

Klaus walked towards the exit

"Where are you going, Niklaus?" Elijah called

"To the bloody witches" Klaus drawled

"We need to plan this carefully" Marcel retorted

"NO USE OF PLANNING! LET'S END THIS WAR ONCE AND FOR ALL!"

~~~~~ BECOMING A PRIORITY ~~~~~

Caroline groaned

"Where am I?" She asked when she felt that someone was untying her ropes

Caroline slowly opened her eyes and was surprised to see an unexpected face

"What are you doing here?!"

"Hello to you too, gorgeous"
