Saved by the Vampire
Cara hoped Klaus would yell at Kol long enough for her to get far away enough, but when she looked around, she already saw Klaus standing in the doorway. Before she could turn on her heels and run, she got picked up and sped off.
The speed made her a little dizzy, and when she got put down, she fell to her knees almost immediately. She blinked several times and looked around. She was at Damon's again. She looked up and saw Damon staring at her. She struggled to get up, ignoring his outstretched hand. Cara glared at him.
'What? No, thank you for saving me, speech?' Damon asked. 'Saving me? You thought you were saving me?' Cara burst out. 'What were you saving me from? Klaus?' Damon looked surprised, but nodded. 'He wasn't going to hurt me,' Cara took a deep breath. 'Then why were you so eager to leave there?' Damon asked suspicious, not buying a word she was saying. 'To get away from Kol, okay?' she snapped. Damon looked at her incomprehensively. 'Kol? What was Kol doing there?' Cara shrugged. 'I don't know. Visiting his brother, showing off his new toy,' Cara said, spatting the word toy.
'So Kol hurt you?' Damon asked, getting angry again. Cara let out a growl of frustration. 'No, Damon. Kol did not hurt me!' 'Then why did you want to leave so badly?' 'GAH! Because Kol is the second character on my list, you idiot!' Damon stared at her blankly, before his face turned into anger and disgust. 'KOL, is the second person!?' He was wrong. It could be worse than Stefan. 'Do you have any idea how dangerous he is!' 'I know that in the show he is horrible, but I don't know how he is here. If it's worse, or less…' she trailed off.
'If you know he's dangerous, then why are you still crushing on him?' Cara looked at Damon. 'Like you were a sweet kitty cat in the beginning,' she snapped. 'But,' she sighed, 'because he is drop dead gorgeous. And I can't help it!' She threw her hands in the air. 'What am I supposed to do Damon? He saw me, he knows what I look like! He thinks I am Klaus' toy, and Klaus was just too stunned to deny it. He was angry as hell at my response to Kol. So, I don't know what is going to happen next.' She dropped her hands again. 'But you probably don't have to worry, Kol barely paid me attention. He just looked me up and down.'
Damon knew better, and he was not losing this girl to Kol. Kol, for crying out loud! Of all people. Or vampires. Or whatever.
'I'm sorry, Cara. I should know better than to judge feelings. I know it's not something you can shut off easily. Or at least it's hard without losing my humanity,' Damon shrugged. 'Yeah, yeah, whatever.' Cara waved him away, while her heart ached for him. She wanted to be close to him again, she didn't care about Kol right now. But she couldn't. Not after what he did last night. She couldn't be hurt like that again.
'I'm going to my room. I need to be alone.' Cara emphasized the word 'alone', and left Damon standing there. When she wanted to walk into her room, Damon was popping up in front of her. 'What's going on with you? You are even more angry than yesterday, and yesterday you softened up. We kissed for crying out loud! And now you're giving me the cold shoulder? You could've just said it was a mistake, you know,' Damon said hurt.
'I am giving you the cold shoulder?' Cara asked unbelieving. 'Me? I'm sorry to break it to you, but you were the one to just leave last night, and disappearing afterwards, not coming back until you unnecessarily rescued me from Klaus.' Damon just blinked. 'But…' Cara put her hands on her hips. 'But what? I have heard it all, you know. Every damn excuse in the world. But never, never has anyone just walked away from me like that. I'd rather hear a lame-ass excuse than that,' she said, blinking her tears away. Was he really saying what she thought he was saying?
Damon walked into her room and sat down on her bed, his head in his hands. 'Of course I ruined it,' he muttered angrily. 'Ever since Elena, every time I kissed someone, afterwards they made some horrible comment, shooting me down. I expected you to do the same. Especially when you looked at me so sad.' His had snapped up. 'Now I know you were waiting for me to make a similar remark.' He shook his head. 'I am very sorry, Cara.' He stood up again and walked up to her, putting his hands on her shoulders. 'I think that maybe we should try again…' he whispered, while coming closer. Cara forgot how to breathe, and just stood there, feeling like an idiot. When his lips touched hers again, and his arms wrapped around her back, she couldn't help but moan and fling her arms around him as well, while pushing herself against him.
He let out a soft growl and picked her up, pushing her against the wall, once more, with her legs around his hips. Their tongues explored each other and when Damon finally put Cara down again, she breathed hard. Desperately wanting to kiss him again. Damon saw the longing in Cara's eyes and chuckled softly. He seriously loved this girl. He froze for a second at this thought. He couldn't! What about Kol? She definitely had feelings for him as well… He made up his mind. He was going all in. With a bit of luck she would love him back, and Kol would just be another annoying vampire.
He smiled at her, a smile full of love, and Cara melted, and writhed in pleasure. She put her hands back on his neck, and pulled his face closer. Just before their lips met again, they were interrupted by someone coughing.
Cara glanced over Damon's shoulder to see Klaus standing in the doorway, looking irritated. She dropped her hands, and stepped aside. 'What is it, Klaus?' she said.
Klaus stepped into the room. 'Kol?' he spat. 'Seriously, Kol?' Cara pretended not to know what he was talking about. 'What about him?' Klaus snarled. 'Don't play this game with me! I saw, and rather heard your reaction to him, and when he came closer you heart went so fast you could've past out!' Cara looked at the ground. 'And the worst part is,' Klaus continued, 'is that Kol liked you immediately. He has not figured out yet if you were afraid of him or taken aback by his 'beauty', but he killed his toy almost immediately.' Klaus seemed to calm down. An actual look of concern filled his eyes. 'You need to be careful. Whenever Kol wants something, he usually gets it.' Klaus looked at Damon. 'And he certainly doesn't like others playing with the things he want.' Klaus looked at Cara who was about to interrupt. 'I know you're not a thing, love. But at first he sees everything and everyone as things.' Cara shut her mouth again and looked at Damon. She loved him. Already. But she couldn't stop thinking about the possibility of Kol as well…
Klaus looked at Damon and Cara together, and felt sorry for them. Their kiss he walked in on, was more than just lust. There was also love there, and now his little brother was about to ruin that. Not that Klaus cared about Damon, but Cara was a nice girl. She wanted the best for him, and he really thought they could be friends.
'Damon,' Klaus started. Damon's head snapped in his direction, tearing his gaze of off Cara. 'You love her,' he stated. Cara looked surprised, but prayed for a confirmation. Damon gave a tight nod, and her heart jumped. She couldn't help but smile up at him, even though he was still staring at Klaus. 'Promise me, you'll protect her from Kol. I don't want her hurt,' Klaus said matter-of-factly.
Damon nodded. 'I will, don't worry. I will do everything I can. As long as you try to talk Kol out of this.' The men stared at each other, and Cara could not believe this was actually happening. Klaus nodded back at Damon, and they shook hands, looking very serious.
Klaus turned to look at Cara. 'Please don't let your feelings for Kol overpower you, love. He will only hurt you.' Cara nodded slowly. 'They are mostly based on his looks anyway… As long as he is this mean, there is no problem.' This seemed to satisfy Klaus. Kol never really cared, he just did what he wanted to, and Cara did not appreciate that. 'Then I'll be leaving you to it,' Klaus smirked as he walked out of the door.
I do really love reading your reviews, so please, leave them!
