Everyone that left a review…thank you! Also to those of you that have gave ideas…thank you also; although I do have a definite ending already for this story (it's good I promise!) I do love your ideas a lot and if this wasn't already my second time travel story I would seriously consider writing another based on some of them! ;)
CHAPTER 8
CAROLINE'S P.O.V.
Klaus walked me back right up to the door of the hut; he was such a gentleman. "I had a great time." I said. I couldn't stop smiling; I loved spending time with him.
"I am glad." He said softly. "I had an amazing time as well." He lifted his hand up and placed a finger under my chin. He pulled me towards him until his lips were on mine. The kiss was slow and romantic.
KLAUS' P.O.V.
Caroline's tongue slipped in between my lips and tangled with my own. Before things went too far I pulled away and broke the kiss. "Good night." I said softly.
"Good night." Caroline responded before going inside.
I walked towards the house and into my room. I got ready for bed and laid down; I still wasn't able to think of anything but Caroline's lips on my lips and her tongue in my mouth exploring my own tongue. I closed my eyes and waited for sleep to find me.
"Niklaus." I heard a familiar voice whisper.
I looked up and saw Caroline standing above me wearing a white night shirt. "Caroline?" I asked. "Are you OK?" I asked. I was confused and worried that something had happened.
"I need you." She whispered as she climbed on top of me. She began to place slow kisses on my neck; I couldn't stop my hands from landing on her hips. I felt myself become aroused by her actions; I knew she felt it as well because she pushed her body against me causing a very small moan to escape my lips. Her lips left my neck and she began to kiss down my bare chest. She lifted her head up and stared at me. It was dark in the room; only a small window let in the smallest amount of moonlight; but I could still see her beautiful bright eyes.
I placed my hands on her cheeks and gently pulled her head towards me so I could kiss her. After a few minutes she pulled away and sat up so she was now straddling me. Her fingers toyed with the bottom of her night shirt; she pulled it off her body and tossed it on the floor.
My eyes popped open and I sat straight up. My skin was moist form sweat, my heart was racing, and my breathing was irregular. That was the most intense dream I had ever had. I rolled to my side and tried to calm myself down.
CAROLINE'S P.O.V.
I woke up the next morning with a huge smile on my face. I had such a wonderful day the day before, with the exception of Tatia trying to drown me of course. I had thought about it intently last night and I decided that I was going to go through with telling Klaus that I was from the future and I would be leaving in just seven short days. I had to admit that the part of me that didn't want to leave grew larger every day; or rather every minute I spent with Klaus.
I changed into a dress and pulled my hair to the side and braided it. I couldn't stop smiling because I knew it would only be a little while until I saw him, I wasn't sure if I should kiss him…or hug him…when I saw him. I decided to try to play it cool and follow whatever he does.
I made my way out of the hut and walked over to the fire pit where Kol, Rebekah and Esther were all gathered. My face fell slightly when I noticed that Klaus was not there. I sat over near Rebekah and she turned to face me with a big smile on her face.
"We missed you and Niklaus at dinner last night." She said soft enough where no one but me had heard her. Even though I am sure it was no secret that we were together.
"We went to watch the sunset and had dinner." I said doing my best to hold in my intense smiles.
"Well…did you have fun?" Rebekah asked as a small giggle came out.
I nodded and bit my lip. "Yes, a lot of fun." I missed not having a girlfriend to chat and squeal to about the amazing time I had with Klaus; Rebekah was surprisingly fulfilling that missing piece. "Where is he?" I asked as I glanced around again.
"He hasn't gotten out of bed yet."
I was glad that I hadn't missed him and he had gone off hunting or something. I walked over to the large bowl near the house where they kept drinking water. I filled up a cup and took a sip. Just as I was swallowing Klaus walked out of the house.
"Good morning." He said with a smile. He leaned in a pressed a quick kiss to my lips.
"Good morning." I said smiling after tasting his lips on mine.
"Did you sleep well?"
"I did." I answered. "And you."
He blushed slightly and looked down at the ground. "Fine." He said softly.
"So, what does your day look like today?" I asked. I had hoped he would ask me to spend more time with him today.
"I have to go fishing with Finn in a few minutes." He paused. "But I have no plans for the rest of the day. Would you like to maybe do something later?"
"Yes." I said smiling.
"OK. Do me a favor? Try not to go too far on your own, Tatia may try something else." I nodded in agreement, secretly loving how protective he was being. He gave me another quick kiss on my lips. "I'll see you later." He whispered.
I was lying in my hut admiring some flowers I had picked out back. I heard a low knock outside then a few seconds later I heard footsteps. Klaus must be back from fishing; I smiled immediately at the thought.
"Hello." He said in his sexy voice.
I turned towards him and my smile grew even larger. I sat up slowly. "Hi. How was your fishing trip?" I asked.
"Successful." He said. He knelt down on the ground so he was at eye level with me. I leaned forward and pressed my lips to his. I lifted my lips from his but kept my face close to his; I leaned my forehead against his. "What would you like to do today?" He asked softly.
I bit my bottom lip as a way of containing my huge smile. The only thing I really wanted to do right now was kiss him but I wasn't sure how appropriate it would be to say that. "Well." I said before kissing the corner of his mouth softly. "I am actually having an excellent time right here." I said softly.
KLAUS' P.O.V
I enjoyed her forwardness with me. I was amazed at how comfortable I was with her. I was never this comfortable when it came to these things with Tatia; which is why she probably wound up with Elijah to…satisfy her needs. I brought my hand to her cheek and pressed my lips to hers. After a few moments of kissing I heard a soft moan come from her throat. Caroline placed one hand on my neck and the other she used to run her fingers through my hair.
"There are some things I would like to speak to you about." She said just above a whisper.
I raised an eyebrow and tried my best to hide the concern in my face. The last time she had said something like that was when she told me about Elijah and Tatia. She took a deep breath in than let it out slowly. I placed a hand on her leg and looked directly into her eyes. "It's OK. Just tell me."
She placed her hand over mine and gave me a small smile. "Do you believe in magic?" She asked. She was still keeping her voice low so I knew we were discussing something she didn't want the others to know about.
"Why do you ask?"
"Well, it's important. I want to know if you will think I am crazy before I tell you what I would like to tell you." She said as she gave me a fake laugh.
I looked down at the floor then back up to her. "Many people in the village think of my mother as a witch." I said softly. "Her friend Ayanna is also known as a witch; though no one has confronted either of them about it." I paused. "Yes, I believe." I said softly.
Caroline smiled. "Good." She paused. "This still may sound crazy." She said giving me a warning look. I just laughed and waited for her to continue. "I lied…about my family being dead. I am not from a nearby village." She said slowly.
I was so confused. Why would she lie about that? "I don't understand." I said.
She looked down at our joined hands. "I went to a witch; a very powerful witch, and asked her to send me back in time." I paused. I suddenly realized that I shouldn't get into too many details so I wasn't going to mention him being a hybrid and his siblings being vampires. "I am from the future. One thousand years in the future to be more exact."
I was more than shocked. Out of all the things that ran through my mind when she said she wanted to speak to me this was not even close to anything I expected. "But why would you want to…"
Caroline cut me off before I could finish. "There are some things I can't say. I don't want to risk changing things more than I have already."
I continued to stare at her. What she was telling me was a little unbelievable but I had a feeling I could trust her. "Why did you decide to tell me the truth?" I asked softly.
Caroline shrugged her shoulders and smiled. "I don't like lying to you." She paused and her face fell. "And I don't have much time left." She said so softly that I barely heard her. "The spell only lasts thirty days so I only have seven days before I will be sent back home."
My heart felt like it was breaking; my chest was tight and I could feel a sharp stabbing pain. "Isn't there anything you can do to stay?"
She shook her head and closed her eyes. "It took a very powerful witch to send me here and she could only do if for a short period of time."
"So you come here, play with my emotions and then plan on disappearing in seven days!" I don't know why I was yelling at her, I knew deep down it wasn't her fault. I was just upset that I was going to lose her.
"I'm sorry." She whispered as she dropped her head down."
I walked out of her hut without another word. I headed towards the woods; I picked up some rocks and small tree branches and just threw them. I leaned up against a tree and dropped my head into my hands and let the tears that I had held back before fall.
CAROLINE'S P.O.V.
I hadn't expected the anger Klaus' had expressed; I expected him to think I was insane to think that I came here from the future but I never thought he would be angry with me. I decided not to go after him. What I told him was a lot to process and he needed time to sort through it. If he wanted to speak to me, he would find me.
It was dinner time and I hadn't seen Klaus since he stormed out of the hut earlier. Everyone else was sitting by the fire pit eating dinner. Kol walked over to me with a smile on his face, I don't think I remember seeing him without a smile on his face come to think of it. I gave him my best fake smile in return.
"Where is my brother this evening?" Kol asked as he sat beside me.
I bit my lip and a few seconds later I turned my head towards him. "I don't know, I told him that I would be leaving soon; we had a fight and I am pretty sure he hates me now." I said softly so no one but Kol would be able to hear.
"I doubt that." He said with a small laugh. "It wouldn't surprise me if he was in love with you. I doubt you could ever do anything awful enough for Niklaus to hate you."
I sighed. "I wish I could believe you." I said with another one of my fake smiles.
"Would you like to play a game of chess?" Kol asked. "Elijah made Henrik a chess board earlier and I am sure I can persuade him to let us borrow it."
"No thanks." I said with a small smile. "I am just going to go to bed. Good night Kol."
I walked back to the hut and laid down.
KLAUS' P.O.V.
I knew it was well passed the time the family would have sat down to eat. I decided to head back home. When I got back Kol was alone sitting by the fire pit. I sat next to him but we remained silent for a little while.
"She thinks you hate her." Kol said. I turned to look at him then looked at the ground and shook my head. "She told me she is going to be leaving; I don't know the details but I see it this way. Personally I would rather be in love with someone and only get a short amount of time with them then never have experienced love at all." Kol paused. "She was really upset earlier. You should go talk to her big brother." He said before he stood up and headed inside.
I sat there alone and thought about what Kol had said. I knew he was right. I didn't want to waste these last days she had left; I had already wasted today. I took a deep breath in and out then stood up and walked towards the hut in the back of our house.
I didn't bother knocking. I quietly walked in and found her lying down asleep. She had the blanket just above her knees, one hand was over her stomach and the other was up near her head. The area around her eyes looked red like she had been crying and I immediately felt like a monster. I ran the back of my finger down her arm. "Caroline." I said softly. She stirred a little but did not wake. I knelt down and placed a soft kiss on her cheek. "Caroline." I whispered into her ear.
Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled as soon as she saw my face. She turned on her side and rested both of her hands under her head. "Hi." She said quietly.
"Sorry to wake you." I said in the same soft voice. I brushed a few pieces of hair across her forehead, out of her face. "But I needed to talk to you, and I couldn't wait until morning."
Hope you enjoyed Chapter 8! Keep those reviews coming! ;)
