Sorry for the late update but I had writer's block so here's the next chapter and let's just say I had fun writing this...

Chapter 8


Caroline was actually having a good time with the hybrid. He took her to a very classy restaurant, where they just talked. He told her about his adventures in cities like Rome, France, Italy, Greece and England. She could tell that England was his favorite place, his eyes lit up when he spoke of England. Caroline secretly wished that she could go there someday, but she wouldn't tell Klaus, he'll offer to take her immediately without thinking. It's not that she found him annoying, at times she did but he was actually behaving, he was not trying to kill her friends and she got along with his siblings, except for Rebekah, but she's just being stubborn, Caroline hated the girl but in a way Caroline could see herself in her. They were alike and different at the same time.

"I would love to know what you're thinking." Klaus asked, snapping Caroline from her thoughts.

"Sorry, I spaced out, what were you saying?"

"I asked you if you have ever gone to England" he repeated as he took a bite out of his steak.

"No, but it sounds like a beautiful country" Caroline beamed.

"I'll take you, you could come with us when my family is ready to go, we have a mansion there" Klaus mused with a smirk.

"Of course you do, is there anywhere in this world where you don't own a mansion" Caroline chuckled and leaned back.

"France" he said simply "I own a castle there no mansion" he added with that devilish smirk of his.

Caroline shook her head "Of course you do".

Klaus chuckled at her remark.

Suddenly, a slow jazz music started to play and couples started to dance.

"Would you like to dance?" Klaus asked.

"Sure" she replied and got up from her seat. Klaus got up as well.

They swayed to the music together as one, in sync. Klaus's hand was wrapped around her waist and the other held her hand while Caroline's hand held his and her other hand lay on his chest. In that one moment, she was at peace, she felt calm, relaxed, she felt…safe. For the first time she felt safe. She hadn't felt safe since she was turned and she felt safe. She welcomed the warmth of his body and laid her head on his shoulders and relaxed. They danced for hours, neither was tired and neither wanted it to end, they just enjoyed the music and the warmth of their bodies close together. Caroline didn't care who he was in that moment, because the person she knew and the person in front of her was two completely different people, and she liked this one. She was finally admitting to herself that she liked Klaus, she liked the sweet, caring, and gentleman that stood before her.

They danced for hours until the restaurant was ready to close. The waiter had to tell them that they were closing. Klaus growled but complied and paid for dinner and they headed home. The quietness of the ride back was welcoming and calm; it allowed Caroline's thoughts to flow freely through her mind.

Her mind briefly wondered how Elena was doing, especially since Elena was a new vampire and she would get hooked on blood quickly but if she knew Elena, she would probably try to distract herself. She was probably with Bonnie distracting herself from jumping at Elijah viciously.

Caroline smirked at the thought of Elena ripping off Elijah's custom made suit.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

Caroline turned to face the hybrid next to her who was driving and glancing at her.

"There's no penny that big" Caroline countered with a smile.

Klaus chuckled.

They arrived back at the beach house and heard distant loud voices coming from inside the house. Caroline was a little curious, it sounded like Rebekah and Elena arguing but she also heard Bonnie's voice as well. She went inside as Klaus followed her as the view was slightly confusing.

"Elena stood behind the couch with Rebekah at her side while Bonnie stood on the other side of the couch with Kol at her side and Elijah stood at the archway to upstairs watching them in complete curiosity.

"Elena, something is wrong with you, I know it, don't tell me that you're fine" Bonnie snapped.

"Bon, I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me" Elena mumbled softly and lowered her head, allowing her hair to slide down and hid her face.

"What the hell is going on?" Caroline asked as everyone's head shot in her direction.

"Care, thank god you're back, something is wrong with Elena, what's wrong with her?" Bonnie exclaimed and looked in her direction.

"Lena, you didn't tell her?" Caroline was slightly shocked that she didn't tell Bonnie.

"Tell me what, what's wrong with her Care?"

"Bon…"

"You're not seriously going to say it out loud for everyone in this room to hear are you?" Rebekah asked.

Caroline's head snapped at Rebekah's direction "What do you care anyways, you hate Elena" Caroline commented.

"My sister and Elena have had a heart to heart" Kol said with a confused smirk, carefully looking at Elena's movements as she hid her face with her hair.

"Of course not, I was just going to say that Elena is currently dealing with an emotion that she hadn't quite dealt with yet and she has a little trouble controlled it yet, Elena what about the solutions I told you about earlier, you should've tried the last one" Caroline remarked and went to Elena.

"Caroline" Elena warned.

"Calm down, it was just a joke, lighten up, now just breathe" Caroline said softly and holding her firmly by her shoulders.

"It's happening now?" Bonnie shrieked and approached Elena.

"She just needs to block it out, all senses, concentrate one noise and just breathe, do not smell, do not think, just breathe and concentrate on your breathing" Caroline said softly, trying to comfort her friend

Elena tried to concentrate on her breathing, she tried not to concentrate on his breathing, his pulse racing, she tried not to think about her lips everywhere on him, her body against his, but it was those thoughts that kept flooding her mind, she could smell his musky man scent from across the room and it flooded her mind with sinful thoughts.

"Care, I can't" she whimpered and slowly lifted her head. Her eyes were blood shot red and dark purple veins surrounded her eyes as her fangs showed it to everyone.

"Caroline, what's wrong with her" Elijah asked as he approached her "Maybe I can be of assistance" he added.

Rebekah flashed in front of him to stop him from advancing any further.

"Elijah your help is not wanted" Rebekah said softly.

"Elijah you don't want to be around her right now, she's a little fragile right now" Caroline said.

Kol kept his eyes on Elijah then it flashed at Elena, she grew more agitated at Elijah's advance and she calmed down when she went back to his leaning position. He then figured out that Elijah was the problem, but what emotion could be doing this to her, if she had to lock out her senses. Smell, Sight touch….

It hit him like a ton of bricks.

It was unbelievable but believable at the same time, he's seen it before in other vampires before, but it's the first time he's seen this kind of reaction in year, towards his brother of all people. Elijah was not a monk but he rarely fancies a lady, but he acts different around the girl, like he's trying not to fancy her but her being here is making it more difficult.

A mischievous smile crawled on Kol's face as he finally understands what's going on with her.

"Brother, I have a deal to make with you" Kol breathed with a smile on his face. It may look innocent but it has mischief written all over it with hidden ink.

"What is it Kol" Elijah sighed, he was not in the mood for Kol's antics at this moment.

"I have some valuable information about this situation and I will only give it to you if you grant me one day of my fun" Kol proposed.

Elijah knew exactly what he meant. Giving Kol a day of his fun was like giving Kol a day to say whatever he wants to whomever he wants, he had promised Bonnie that Kol will behave himself and he would keep to that promise but he must know what's going on with Elena, he was really worried about her.

"You will behave yourself around Bonnie and her friends" Elijah stated firmly.

Kol stayed silent for a while before answering.

"Yes"

"Then you have my word, you will have your day of your fun" Elijah agreed.

Kol smirks.

He turns away from his brother and heads up the stairs and to his bedroom door where he stood as he heard a long sigh from Caroline's lips, indicating relief.

"By the way, it seems as though the lovely Elena is horny and you'll never guess which brother wearing a blue Armani shirt is triggering her hormones" Kol shouted from upstairs with a snicker and entered his room.

Elijah's jaw dropped in complete confusion and shock as he stood there frozen at the information.

"Kol!" Caroline, Rebekah, Elena and Bonnie yelled in unison as Elena quickly flashed into her room and locked the door while Klaus had a huge smirk on his face.

"This is definitely a good night" Klaus smirked and headed upstairs as he glanced at his brother's frozen position and headed upstairs.


Kol spilled the beans! I can only imagine the look on ELijah's face right now. Review Review Review!
