Chapter 9: Same Stranger People
"Lolita, why are you crying?"
"I am suppose to enjoy this madness?" I said in between my sobs to Caroline who was trying her best to stay calm. Usually I don't cry but at the moment, I was full on bawling and I was not even feeling embarrassed about it. Though I was sure I was looking quite comical while whining like a baby but can you really blame me. Not only I was stuck in a TV show at first but now I'm stuck in the past of that said show. Well spin off of the show anyway.
This can't get any worse. I thought to myself. No wait, given my track record, even the worst situation could get worse for me. I was currently sitting on a brand new old fashioned looking sofa in the living room of the mansion and Caroline was pacing in front of me worriedly. She was obviously thinking of a way to get out of here and the situation altogether. The original brothers have gone somewhere thankfully. They left us alone with a nice threat that if we try to run, they are going to hunt us down followed by the usual threats that they usually give. Caroline pulled out her phone from her jeans pocket again and tried to call someone once again.
"Stop with the phone Caroline. I told you it's not going to work." I said feeling helpless. Well I kind of was helpless at the moment but I despised the feeling nevertheless. Caroline sighed out heavily and put her phone back inside her jeans pocket.
"They're going to kill us, aren't they?" asked Caroline more to herself than to me.
"There's a 99.99% chance that they will." I said sighing out heavily. "Damn you Bonnie, if she had to send us in a different time couldn't she have sent us in the dinosaur period. At least we would be a lot safer with veggie dinos." I said feeling utterly frustrated. "And what are we suppose to tell them when they get back? Surely they're gonna interrogate us."
"I think we should just tell them the truth" suggested Caroline. I inwardly smacked my own head.
"Brilliant idea Caroline. Why didn't I think of that? Lets just tell the originals that our witch friend Bonnie accidentally sent us in the past and we are from a time where Klaus is in love with you and Kol is sweet on me. And I'm not even from this world. Thanks to a freak I landed in a god damn TV show. Yeah that will do down smoothly." Caroline glared at me as I mocked her.
"Well genius then what are we going to tell them?" Caroline asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"Anything but the truth."
"But they're gonna know we are lying." Caroline stated the obvious.
"Funny thing is, even if we do tell them the truth they are still gonna think that we are lying because the truth is crazier than anything anyone can ever imagine. I mean come on, time traveling may be believable to them if we could provide them enough proof but coming from another universe where they are all TV characters, that's just insane. These people don't even know what a freaking TV is for heaven's sake."
"You're right. We can't tell them the truth. Besides, it could jeopardize our future. But what the hell are we going to tell them?" Caroline asked looking extremely troubled. I was worried myself.
"Personally I would like not to tell them anything. No lies no truths."
Caroline looked around the room for the first time and said- "Everything is so old fashion looking." I rolled my eyes at that.
"News flash Caroline. We are in the past." I said sarcastically.
"When are we exactly?" Caroline asked ignoring my comment.
"Marcel's still a kid so I am guessing nineteenth century-ish." Caroline shook her head hearing that. Finally the frustration making her crazy. She dropped herself on the sofa across from me and sighed out heavily.
"We need to think of a way to get back." Caroline stated seriously.
"You do the thinking. My head isn't working anymore." I said inhaling and exhaling a deep breath to release a bit of a tension. It didn't work though.
"Excellent. Leave everything to me" said Caroline sarcastically while rolling her eyes at me.
"Look Caroline, I'm only a human here and there's only so much I can handle. Coming into your world was terrifying for me enough. This, I can't handle this. Actually now that I think about it, I would be glad if someone kills me right now." I whisper yelled at Caroline.
"And you will be dead if you don't answer our questions honestly." Klaus entered the room while saying that. Elijah walked right beside him while Kol and Rebekah followed their brothers. Seeing them I rolled my eyes to myself.
"Here we go again." I muttered to myself remembering something like this happening with me when I got into the TVD show and saved Kol from Jeremy.
"Easy Niklaus, there's no need to threaten our guests. I am sure that they are going to cooperate with us" said Elijah politely while taking a seat at the arm chair. He was facing me and Caroline. Klaus smirked at Elijah's statement and settled in the arm chair beside Elijah.
"Not that they have any other choice here" said Klaus with mirthful tone of voice. I ignored Klaus and glanced at Kol. I found him staring at me quite boldly and perhaps with a bit of interest in his eyes. Rebekah however was scowling at us.
"What are these things you have caught brothers?" asked Rebekah looking at us with pure disgust. As if we were some low life ugly looking creatures. Caroline immediately glared at the female original.
"And what bloody hell are they wearing? Pathetic savages." Rebekah looked at us with more disgust than before if that's even possible. It obviously hit Caroline's nerves and she snapped.
"Clothes, something you take off every time a man makes eye contact with you." I closed my eyes and shook my head at Caroline's snarky reply. This was so gonna get us into trouble. And it did. Rebekah snarled at her furiously.
"You bitch, who do you think you're talking to. You don't know who we are, you little wench." Rebekah stepped forward with intention of attacking Caroline.
"Sure she does. After all you're the infamous original family." I said as if that was the most obvious answer. Well it was kind of obvious. Rebekah got more enraged but Elijah gave her a look.
"Calm down Rebekah. We need answers from them which they cannot provide if they are dead." That statement alone proved that Elijah didn't care about our lives in this century. He only cared about getting answers from us. Well I don't blame him. He didn't know us. And something told me that this Elijah was different from the Elijah we knew and who knew us. Elijah averted his eyes from Rebekah and looked back at us.
"Please, let us keep this conversation civil, shall we?" said Elijah politely however it was clear that he wouldn't tolerate misbehavior for the second time. "So what are your names my good ladies?"
Caroline and I looked at each other. Both knowing what we have to do. We can't jeopardize the future because surely they were gonna ask for more and more information once they learn that we are from the future. They would want to know everything. It could not only change the future but endanger everyone in the twenty first century. It was hard for me to admit but over the time, I've grown to like everyone of the show back in twenty first century. Therefore I won't endanger anyone's life. Elijah was still waiting for us to answer his question. Caroline and I gave each other an understanding glance. After that she finally spoke up-
"My name is-"
"Caroline and your friend's name is Lolita. We already know that love. There's no point lying" said Klaus with an arrogant smirk. Caroline scowled at him.
"I wasn't going to lie." She defended herself immediately and glared at Klaus. "And don't call me love." Caroline snapped. The hybrid only smirked more in return. He knew Caroline was going to lie for sure.
"You know who we are yet you are so unafraid of us" stated Elijah getting serious now. "But we don't recall ever meeting you. So who are you?"
"And don't even think about lying" threatened Klaus quite menacingly. It pissed me off. He's such a dick.
"Well she's a vampire and I can turn into a unicorn once in a while." Klaus and Rebekah glared at me while Elijah kept looking at us with calculating eyes. Kol however laughed as he realized that I joked about myself.
"Feisty I see. I like feisty woman."
"Tell me about it." I muttered while rolling my eyes to myself. Kol suddenly came over to me in vampire speed and took a lock of my hair and sniffed it.
"And she smells amazing" complimented Kol. If I didn't know better I would've thought he was trying to woo me. Kol gracefully like a predator walked around me and went behind my back. He put both his hands on my shoulders. I immediately tensed up. Knowing Kol and his unpredictability, he could just snap my neck in a blink of an eye despite Elijah's order.
"Now tell us darling, who you really are and how did you appear here out of nowhere?" I glanced at Caroline who looked scared for me.
"Don't you have somewhere to run to considering your brothers have just tried to dagger you, again. You're not safe here." I said fearlessly and a bit sarcastically even though inwardly I was freaking out.
"Thanks for the concern love but I would rather stay here and enjoy your company and of course answers" said Kol indifferently. As if he didn't care that he was almost daggered and he would've rot for years in a coffin. When I remained quite and refused to answer Kol, he applied enough pressure on my shoulders to fracture the bones a bit. I cried out in pain. Caroline gasped with shock however no one else said anything. Not even Elijah. Rebekah downright smirked seeing her brother torture me. Kol leaned forward and talked into my ear.
"Are you going to answer now love or should we continue this?" he asked with friendly tone of voice. "Mind you I can do this for hours."
"This is how you repay me for saving your life?" I asked with gritting teeth as I tried not to scream out loud again. Bloody lunatic.
"Darling, you saved my life that's why you are still breathing. Now be a good girl and answer my question." Kol as usual spoke like a maniac. He sounded so cheerful. God I hate this version of Kol. It was weird to see him like this after seeing him under a different light in twenty first century. And must I tell I like twenty first century Kol a lot more than this jerk. True Kol behaved like a complete douche bag with me in the beginning but later, he was so nice and he cared about me. God I missed him already. His past version was insane. As I still kept quiet, Kol sighed out heavily.
"Alright then-" saying that Kol was about to torture me more but Caroline interrupted him.
"No please don't hurt her. I'll tell you everything."
"Caroline NO!" I immediately exclaimed with shock.
"Quiet!" Klaus snapped at me. "Yes love, please do tell." Holding back her tears, Caroline started talking.
"We are from Mystic Falls" hearing about Mystic Falls the original siblings looked at each other. I jerked Kol's hands off my shoulders and thankfully he let me go. He walked over to his brothers with a satisfied smirk plastered on his lips. I glared at him while rubbing my bruised shoulders. Bastard! Caroline glanced at me once before blurting out-
"And from Twenty first century." The siblings was stunned hearing that.
"Twenty first century. You are saying that you are from the future." Klaus further inquired.
"Since twenty first century comes after nineteenth century, I would say yes that's exactly what I meant." Caroline said with slight sarcasm in her voice.
"You are lying." Rebekah said at once. "Elijah, Nik they are lying. Don't believe them."
"You think twenty first century Rebekah is intolerable, I would say nineteenth century Rebekah is going to be a pain in the ass." I said to Caroline ignoring the originals completely. Rebekah bared her fangs at me and I just rolled my eyes at her. "Oh please! You don't scare me."
"I really hope it's not the same with me darling" said Kol walking over to me once again. "And to find out the truth-" Kol looked into my eyes and his pupil dilated. I understood he was going to compel me. I couldn't help but smirk at his attempt.
"You don't scare me either Kol and oops did I forget to mention that I cannot be compelled." Kol's cheerful demeanor suddenly turned cold and sinister. He glared at me and tried to stare me down but I kept looking at him with determination.
"Don't bother. I'm on vervain." I heard Caroline say to Klaus obviously.
"Okay calm down everyone." Elijah finally stepped in. Kol thankfully walked away from me. Elijah then looked at us with heavy seriousness. He asked-
"What proof do you have that you've time traveled because we've never heard of such thing?" Caroline and I looked at each other. Now that the secret is out, we have to prove it to them. For our safety's sake.
"Show them." I said to Caroline. She frowned at me with confusion.
"Show them what?"
"Your cleavage." Caroline's eyes widened at that. I rolled my eyes at her. "Your phone Caroline. Show them your phone." Caroline shook her head at me but pulled out her phone from her jeans pocket and put it on the table in front of us. The originals looked at the device with clueless faces.
"What is this?" asked Elijah.
"It's a phone. A device invented in the future. We use it to talk to someone in another place." I said however the four originals gave me a look of complete disbelieve together. Caroline shook her head and decided to try another way.
"Look we're not lying. We are from the future. We know things about you that no one else does."
"Like what?" asked Klaus. He was definitely getting impatient eventually.
"Like you were born in Mystic Falls in tenth century. All of you. Your mother Esther turned you into vampires. And Klaus isn't only a vampire, he's a hybrid. Both werewolf and a vampire. And there's a curse on him that he breaks-"
"Caroline!" I interrupted her before she could say more and give away everything. Caroline's eyes widened a bit as she realized her mistake and she tried to correct it but unfortunately it was already too late.
"Look you have to believe us."
"What were you saying about my curse?" asked Klaus straight away. His gaze sharp and dangerous. Great work Caroline.
"We just know that there's a curse on you." I said hoping Klaus would drop it but who was I kidding with. Klaus suddenly grinned which stopped my heart for a moment. He stood up and slowly started pacing.
"Is that so? Fine we believe that you are from the future and you've time traveled. So now explain why did you come in this time?" asked Klaus with sinister gleam in his eyes.
"This is an accident" said Caroline immediately.
"Yeah definitely an accident."
"That sounds awful. So I believe you would like to go back in your own time. I know of witches who could help you. Just do me a little favor and I shall take you to them" said Klaus rather charmingly. Caroline snorted at that.
"And let me guess, that little favor is tell you everything about your future." Caroline then looked straight at Klaus, right into his eyes. "You know what Klaus, you can go to hell."
"With pleasure love but first let me give you a proper welcome to New Orleans" saying that Klaus and Kol as well smirked widely at us. I immediately knew that Caroline and I were headed towards terrible torture sessions. Things just kept getting better and better here. Oh how I regret ever rejecting the future Kol's affection. If I ever go back I will surely tell him this.
