I own nothing...
Thanks to my beta angellus08 and Luv22 for being awesome!
"I would say how was your weekend but I don't really care," Nik mused as he entered his class. For some reason he has woken up with the worst mood. Jenna and Elena had said he was being extra grumpy. "So we seemed to have lost a student. Um...what was her name?"
"Caroline," Tyler told him.
"Ah thank you," Nik said and crossed Caroline's name off the attendance sheet. "Now let's get back to work."
K&C
Elijah watched as Caroline flirted with a group of men. They were all werewolves. The two siblings were searching for packs to turn once Caroline broke the curse. Caroline laughed at something one of the wolves said, but it wasn't her real laugh. In fact Caroline hadn't truly laughed since they left Mystic Falls a month ago.
"Excuse me," Caroline said to the group around her and walked back over to Elijah.
"Well?" Elijah asked.
"Well they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed," Caroline replied. "They couldn't even sense that I was a vampire, but they seem like good candidates for hybrids."
"So that is three packs down, how many are you planning on making?" Elijah said.
"A lot," Caroline told him and then her eyes went back to the pack especially to one, who in particular was smiling suggestively at her.
"It won't work," Elijah said and she turned to him.
"What won't work?" Caroline asked.
"Trying to forget the boy you left by sleeping with other men," Elijah replied. "I thought I raised you better then that."
"I wasn't going to," Caroline said even though she had been thinking about it.
"Sure you were," Elijah said, "Now come. We have more to do."
K&C
Nik whistled as Elena walked down the stairs.
"Stop," Elena said her cheeks turning pink.
"Why you look absolutely stunning," Nik said holding his hand out for her to take. "How do you feel Miss Mystic?"
"Nervous," Elena admitted, "And this dress hurts."
"Ah the price of beauty," Nik said and Elena shoved him.
"You seemed like you are in a better mood," Elena observed, "A lot better then you have been recently."
"I'm sorry. I don't really know what has been going on with me." Nik said, "Just in a bit of a... what do you Americans call it? A funk?"
"It's okay, but aren't you excited for the parade? That doctor lady is going to be there..." Elena said with a grin and Nik rolled his eyes. "What? She likes you."
"Will you lay off about Meredith? If you do I promise I will have fun at the parade." Nik said or more so growled. Elena tilted her head considering it.
"Done," Elena said, "But for gods sake would it kill you to smile, a real smile. I swear you haven't really laughed in weeks."
"Don't worry about me, how are you doing?" Nik said. "You seemed really upset the other day when Bonnie came over."
"Just girl stuff, I'm fine, really," Elena assured him.
"What about Jeremy's girl, Anna?" Nik said, "He seemed to fancy her a great deal. Where has she been?"
"I don't know," Elena said.
"Pity, he liked her," Nik said with a shrug. "All right now I will go get dressed for this blasted parade. Besides I need to make sure Jenna and John don't kill each other. Good luck today."
"Thanks," Elena said and the two cousins went their separate ways.
K&C
Nik sat at the bar waiting for this day to end. He had done what Elena had asked and had smiled and waved to everyone he came in contact with.
"Hi," A voice said interrupting his thoughts. Nik turned and saw Meredith standing next to him.
"Hello there," Nik said, "Want to sit?"
"Sure," Meredith said and sat down. "So how have you been?"
"Good, just waiting on Jeremy to take him home," Nik said, "You?"
"Busy," Meredith said.
"Yes the busy life of a doctor, my father was one too," Nik told her.
"Really?" Meredith said.
"Yes, and so was his father and so forth, I come from a long family of doctors," Nik went on, "But of course I broke the chain by becoming an artist. My old man wasn't too happy about that. About went mad when I changed majors."
"I have seen your stuff, one of your paintings is hanging in the hospital." Meredith said and finally Nik smiled.
"I gave that to Grayson for his office." Nik informed her.
"I'm sorry about your cousin," Meredith said quietly.
"Thank you, love," Nik said and spotted Jeremy walking in but was soon intersected by Anna. Nik then saw Tyler Lockwood and his father arguing. Kind of reminded Nik of himself and his Dad. "Excuse me." Nik said to Meredith and walked over to them.
"Something wrong Mayor?" Nik said and the two stopped arguing.
"Just trying to tell my son that he needs to go home," The Mayor said.
"I can take him," Nik said, "It's on my way."
"Thank you Mr. Sommers," He said and turned to his son, "We will talk later."
"Looking forward to it," Tyler said sarcastically.
"My father was a bit of a bastard too," Nik told Tyler once the Mayor was gone.
"Really?" Tyler said and Nik nodded. Jeremy and Anna came back into view.
"Jer!" Nik called out. "Let's go."
Anna and Jeremy looked at each other.
"Your girl can come too," Nik said and the couple walked over. Nik walked over to Meredith. "Got to take the lot home. I'll see you later."
"Bye," Meredith said. Nik made his way over to the group of kids and Jeremy was grinning.
"Shut it," Nik said and led the group to his car.
K&C
The car ride was silent. Anne and Jeremy seemed nervous about something and Tyler just looked out the window in his own world. Nik sighed. He really needed to start hanging out with adults more. He couldn't only take so much teenage angst.
"Ahhhh!" Both Tyler and Anna started yelling. Distracted by their screaming Nik swerved the car.
"Bloody hell," Nik cried out. "Shut it!" But they didn't stop. The screaming continued and Nik didn't notice he was now heading into lamppost. The car slammed into it and all was quiet.
K&C
Thankfully Anna's phone wasn't damaged in the crash. They quickly called 911. Jeremy and Tyler seemed okay, but Nik was beat up something bad.
"His heart is beating," Anna told Jeremy.
"Is he going to be okay?" Jeremy asked.
"I don't know," Anna said honestly. Jeremy looked at Tyler who was talking on the phone to his Mom. They still didn't understand why he was screaming too. Jeremy was too worried about Nik to care.
"Can't you give him some blood?" Jeremy asked walking closer. The two heard the sound of the ambulance coming.
"I'll try to later," Anna said as they pulled up and put Nik on the stretcher.
"Any of you related?" One of them asked.
"He is my cousin," Jeremy replied, "I'll go with you."
"Come on kid," Another said and with one more nod to Anna he got into the ambulance.
"What happened?" Someone asked but Jeremy was looking at Nik who was pale as a sheet.
"Um...he got distracted and lost control of the car," Jeremy answered. "It is my fault." Jeremy took Nik's hand. "Is he going to be okay?"
"We will do everything we can," A voice assured him, but it didn't really work.
"Hang on," Jeremy whispered, "Please, just...hang on."
K&C
"Yeah someone definitely took my stuff," Elena said into the phone. "I am going to get some things before I go to the hospital. Jeremy needs a change of clothes, apparently there is blood on them." Elena's voice cracked at the end. "Can you meet me there? I love you Stefan."
Elena opened the lock and went into the house.
K&C
"Jeremy!" Elena called out and hugged him. "How is Nik?"
"Weak," Jeremy told her, "They don't know if he is going to make it." Elena let out a sob and put a hand over her mouth. Jeremy hugged her again. Elena looked over her shoulder to see Bonnie coming over. She let go of Jeremy and hugged Bonnie.
"Well?" Bonnie said but Elena only shook her head.
"Isn't there anything you could do?" Elena asked softly. "A spell or something?"
"She doesn't know how," Damon said coming into the conversation. "Do you?"
"No, I don't," Bonnie said wishing she did.
"No you don't." Damon repeated. "It took Emily years to learn a spell that could do that."
"Yeah well I can take down a vampire," Bonnie said smugly, "That spell was easy to learn."
"Stop it," Elena said and the two looked at her, "None of this is going to help the little family that I have left."
"I can give him some blood," Damon said and Elena's eyes went wide. "Just enough to heal him. He will be safe in the hospital, it will be out of his system in a day. It will help him."
"Okay," Elena said.
"Really?" Bonnie said surprised she would agree so quickly.
"It is for Nik," Elena said and faced Damon again, "Do it. Save him, whatever it takes."
K&C
"Come on don't cry," Nik said when Elena walked up to him, "The doctor says I will make a full recovery. I am a miracle patient apparently."
"I was just so worried about you," Elena said and Nik took her hand.
"I have no plans to die anytime soon," Nik promised. Jenna and Jeremy filtered in next. Jenna attempted to hug him, but Nik was still pretty sore.
"How are you doing mate?" Nik asked Jeremy.
"A few scrapes," Jeremy shrugged "It's nothing."
"What about Tyler and Anna?" Nik inquired.
"They are fine too," Jeremy said.
"You are only supposed to have one visitor at a time," Meredith said coming into view.
"Never been one for rules, love," Nik said with a grin, "Besides you said I was just fine."
"I still want to keep you one more night for observation," Meredith told him. "You will be out by tomorrow."
"Fantastic," Nik said and looked at his family, "You lot don't have to stay you know. The show with the singing teenagers is on. I must say I wish some of my students looked like that."
"We will come see you again tonight," Jenna said and they left.
"Thanks for taking care of me," Nik said and Meredith smiled.
"You seem chipper," She observed.
"Well a brush with death has brought out a new side of me I suppose," Nik said, "A side that might like to have a drink with you once you let me out of this blasted bed."
"I might take you up on that," Meredith said, "Well I have other patients, but I will come check on you again shortly." Once she was gone Nik turned back to the TV.
"Do they really expect us to believe these kids are in high school?" Nik said to himself. "The tall one looks the same age as me."
K&C
Nik woke up to see Elena standing there.
"Bloody hell Elena, trying to give me a heart attack?" Nik said, "I thought I told you to go home."
"Hello Niklaus," Elena said and Nik groaned.
"Go home Elena, like I said I am fine," Nik said, he was really tired. "And you know how much I hate it when people use my full name."
"My name is Katherine," Elena said leaning closer, "And I was hoping you could give the Salvatore brothers a message for me."
"Message? What are you talking about?" Nik asked.
"Game on," Katherine said and took a pillow and covered his face with it. Nik struggled as much as he could but soon everything was dark and his heart stopped beating.
K&C
All of a sudden Caroline felt a pain in her heart. She gasped out loud.
"Caroline?" Elijah said worriedly. "Is something wrong?"
"I'm fine," Caroline said suddenly feeling very cold, which was supposed to impossible for a vampire, "I just had the strangest feeling. It was probably nothing. Now what were you saying?"
Elijah kept talking but Caroline wasn't really paying attention, instead her mind was still on the bizarre feeling she just experienced.
What had just happened?
And why was she still so cold?
…...
What did you think? You got a little more insight into Nik's past and why he had issues with his Dad. Plus I saved Anna, I am a Bonnie/Kol shipper and Jeremy needs a girl...
Baby Klaus vampire and baby Caroline vampire will be very different, you will see that in the next bit. Although since he is now a vampire he will remember Caroline!
Note: I am no longer a college student but a student teacher which means no more going to class only three days a week and giving me lots of time to write. I am now going to school at 7:45 and staying till around 4. My updates will be not as frequent.
Whoa Klaus is getting his own show! I think it is going to be good, I only watch the Vampire Diaries for the Originals. That might mean that Klaus and Caroline won't be together, but remember that show Angel? Spike did come over to that show so there might be a little hope. Who knows? I think it is still going to be great!
Thanks for reading and reviewing! Reviews are great in this stressful time and after chasing 1st graders around!
