Words are Weapons 9

Sorry for that last chapter being so long. I know it can be daunting with a word count over 10k. It also exhausted most people from writing a review. Hey-o! :) Thank you to the lovely people who (have ever) left positive words. I appreciate it so much! I'll try to keep the rest of the chapters more reasonable.

Someone told me they hadn't read this story because they weren't a fan of dark!Klaroline fics. This is pretty far from dark to me though and it had me looking at the story summary. I added a few words, but if you have an idea for a better summary, please let me know and I'll dedicate a chapter to you if I use your idea. Thanks!

Klaus and Caroline fought for the doorknob, both wanting to open it first.

Inside, they gasped. Elijah Mikaelson was on top of some woman, having s-e-x!

"You have sex?" Caroline blurted out, mind blown.

Elijah whipped up the sheets to cover himself and his partner, vampire features instantly coming out as he spun so he was on his back, facing the two intruders.

"You take your clothes off?" Caroline blurted out again, unable to get the image of Elijah's ass out of her head. She hadn't seen someone else have sex so up close and personal since the time she walked in on Elena and Damon.

"Get out!" Elijah yelled, a hank of his usually perfectly coiffed hair falling into his eyes.

"Now now, brother," Klaus smirked, feeling very good about this turn of good luck. "Introduce us to your friend."

"Sex partner," Caroline whispered, still in shock.

"My name is Gia," the pretty brunette said, mortified at being caught, cheeks on fire. The last thing they wanted was for Klaus to find out about them and he did in the worst way possible.

"I'm Caroline," Caroline said as she shot out her hand.

Gia wasn't sure what to do, but reluctantly put out her hand, keeping the other one on the sheet covering herself. It topped the list of most cringeworthy introductions ever.

"This is highly inappropriate. Get out," Elijah bit out again, feeling completely at a loss.

"Um, Elijah, I'm going to need to remind you of something," Caroline said, resting the container on her hip. Klaus watched her with amusement, waiting for Elijah to make a move. "You walked in on your brother and I just the other night."

"You weren't having sex!"

"You didn't know that! We could have been. It would have been worth watching if we wanted an audience. I happen to be amazing at sex and well, so is your brother. Don't let that go to your head, Klaus."

"Which one?" Klaus asked and she winked, appreciating the humor. Things were going well when Klaus could make dick jokes.

"Who is she?" Gia whispered to Elijah.

"Caroline is my brother's…" He wasn't sure how to finish.

Caroline looked at Klaus and smiled. Klaus looked at Caroline and smiled. Goofy smiles with dimples were on full display from both.

"Whoever you are, the door's behind you," Gia said, ready for the awkwardness to be over.

"I don't think so," Klaus said, putting his hands behind his back, knocking into Caroline's handbag he was still carrying. "Elijah, here I thought you were still hung up on the wolf."

"Hayley?" Caroline asked, naming the only female wolf she knew, eyes widening impossibly more. This night was full of surprises. Hayley and Elijah? What? Wait. What?

"Yet you've found yourself a new lover. I don't blame you. How would you feel if this Gia was dragged into Dahlia's orbit." He pointed at her. "She has nothing to do with the situation, so ah, yes, that sounds right. I can make that happen. Dahlia has approached me after all."

Elijah sat up, both concerned for Gia and wanting to know what happened with Dahlia.

"What did she say?"

Klaus laughed humorlessly. "She has offered me a deal I am considering. It doesn't concern you."

Elijah sighed. He was certainly in a desperate situation, not a little of his own making in this instance by isolating Klaus. He looked at Caroline and what she was holding. "What's in there?"

Caroline looked down. The ceramic urn had the word "Flour" written on it in large black letters against the cream background. It was part of a set along with "Sugar." "I've been craving cookies and I ran out of ingredients."

"What's in there?" he repeated, enunciating the words carefully, not fooled for one minute by her ridiculous lie.

Caroline lowered her voice and opened the lid as if it was a mouth, up and down, "Elijah, this is your brother Kol speaking. Leave Caroline alone!"

"Kol!"

"Don't worry, Elijah, about our brother. You'll have your hands full keeping your friend here safe," Klaus said, coming to Gia's side of the bed which had Elijah pulling her closer to him. "I do believe in returning slight for slight, but with a little extra so it doesn't happen again," he said creepily, wishing he'd kept the wooden dagger he wasted in the yard. "I'm coming for you, Elijah, and if Gia gets in the way…" He left the rest of the sentence dangling, opening his arms wide and tipping his head to the side.

"These Mikaelsons, am I right, Gia? When they get naked, whoa! At first, I was like, I do not know how that will fit, but then I was like…"

Elijah and Gia both put their hands over their ears and made horrified faces.

"Caroline, sweetheart," Klaus said, watching how she was cleverly using humor to disarm the room as easily as he used threats, "I don't think they appreciate your sex talk."

"Prudes." Caroline then gave him a look towards her purse.

"I need my lip gloss, Klaus," she said, acting up the ditzy routine, as she put Kol's ashes down for a moment. She rooted around in her bag and found her vervain bottle again under the various things in there, opening the top and covertly setting it into his hand. "Get back to your sex now. Enjoy! Don't think about us judging you and your performance. We've got to go. I really do want a cookie now."

Picking up the canister, she stood by Klaus' side.

"Elijah, until I see you again," Klaus said as he held the vervain bottle in his hands for them to see. Elijah remembered exactly what that container held. He was all too familiar with it.

Klaus shook it lightly and then tossed the contents at his brother as Elijah pulled Gia out of the splash zone.

Klaus grabbed Caroline's hand and they whooshed through Marcel's compound and went directly to the bar, hoping they bought enough time before Elijah called Rebekah, if he would, to warn them. They didn't stop until they were outside of the brick building where they started.

"That was entertaining. Two ingredients down, one to go," Klaus said when they gingerly peeked into the front window of the bar, each taking turns to get an eye on who they could see, both pumped full of adrenaline. Dealing with Elijah went too quickly for him, but they did have more important things to get to, like Freya's blood, first. Marcel was speaking to a group of guys. Josh was talking to Cami, both of them closest to the window.

"Shoot," Caroline said as she finally saw Enzo, grabbing her phone.

C: ABORT! ABORT! WRONG SISTER! THE OTHER ONE! DIDN'T YOU GET THEIR NAMES DOOFUS?

"What?" Klaus said, worried since he hadn't seen anything. The crowd must have parted for her.

Caroline pulled away from the window to explain. "Well, um, maybe my description of Freya wasn't the best and well Rebekah going back to her old body was unexpected."

"What does that mean, Caroline?" Klaus asked slowly as it began to dawn on him.

She gave him a sheepish smile. "Enzo appears to be flirting with Rebekah, not Freya."

Klaus huffed and his face started to get red. He pointed at her, but she jumped in. "I texted him. Let's give him a minute to salvage this. Maybe he's flirting with them both? Menage a trois? Oui? Otherwise, we'll wait for her and pounce like you wanted to."

"With Rebekah to protect her?"

"We can do it," she said, trying to keep him motivated. Dealing with Original!Rebekah plus a powerful witch wasn't ideal, especially without any weapons, but if they had to, they would. She knew he would take them on if she wasn't stuck to him, but she wasn't going to let this slow them. They were on a roll. Her ninja-like skills couldn't be stopped!

Enzo was enjoying wooing Klaus' sister quite a bit. She was gorgeous, smart, and funny. She was the witch who kidnapped Caroline? He had to keep that in mind, because otherwise he was charmed and there was chemistry between them, something he hadn't experienced in too long.

"Are you going to sing tonight?" Enzo asked, wincing when he heard someone try to sing "I Will Always Love You."

Rebekah laughed. "Not bloody likely."

"A woman after my own heart," he agreed. He bought her a drink earlier. She'd come up to the bar near where he was to get drinks for their table when the waiter took too long and Enzo hadn't let her get away.

Rebekah was flattered by the handsome guy's attention. He was dark haired and dark eyed, a personal preference, and it felt good to flirt with someone who knew nothing about her. His accent was refreshing after all the slow Southern drawls constantly filling her ears. The more she thought about Marcel, the more she thought it wouldn't work. She needed a fresh start and while this might not be the guy, it couldn't hurt to flirt.

"Are you saying you wouldn't serenade me?" she asked with a coy smile, getting even more settled on her stool. She noticed his eyes traveled to her legs and she was glad she wore her miniskirt. She actually had wanted Caroline to see it, but somehow Caroline and Klaus hadn't shown their faces since she'd gotten there, although they apparently made a big production earlier. Figures they'd be just annoying enough to do that.

"Is that the way to your heart?" he asked, all charm.

His phone buzzed and he looked down. She thought he looked a little paler after reading it, but he seemed to recover quickly.

"Bad news? Is it past your bedtime?"

"Cinderella has nothing on me. Now, where were we?"

He had the wrong sister? How many Mikaelson sisters were there? He didn't even know there was more than one. This woman matched Caroline's description perfectly.

Enzo took a drink and tried to figure out how to talk to the other blue-eyed blonde this one had arrived with, the only other logical possibility, when he looked around the bar. What a letdown, although knowing the beautiful woman in front of him hadn't been the one to kidnap Caroline was a nice perk. He liked this one. He'd just have to get Freya alone for a moment and snap her neck, ideally without letting this sister know his secret agenda.

"Rebekah!"

Luck was a lady tonight, Enzo thought, giving the newcomer a big smile.

"Freya, this is…um, I can't believe this, what is your name?"

"Enzo," he said, taking a sip of his whiskey.

"Enzo," Rebekah said with a shy smile. "This is my sister, Freya."

Freya walked to Rebekah's side away from Enzo, slipping on her high heels a bit, grabbing Rebekah's arm to keep herself steady.

"I'm so sorry for leaving you," Rebekah apologized to her. She knew there was something called Girl Code, but she didn't have any girlfriends to know the details. She was pretty sure completely ditching your sister to flirt with a cute guy wasn't part of it. She would make it up to Freya though. "Are you having fun?"

Freya thought she was smiling. It was hard to tell. She couldn't feel her face. She'd had a few or ten drinks with Marcel and Josh. They were so nice to her and made sure her glass was always full. It was just good manners to keep drinking what was offered. "He's cute!"

Rebekah wanted to face-palm. Freya was drunk! "Did you try to keep up with Marcel?" With a sigh, she got off her stool. She had to get Freya home.

Freya's eyes closed. She put her head down on her arms on the bar. "I love this place!"

Then Freya either fell asleep or passed out. Her body went boneless and only Rebekah's arms kept her upright. Freya's head lolled about.

"I'm Rebekah by the way." Rebekah said, giving Enzo an embarrassed smile. "I need to take care of her."

"Let me help you," Enzo said, acting quickly. He got up and put Freya's arm over his shoulders. "Why don't you call a cab out front? I'll walk her out there for you."

Rebekah smiled at the kind gesture. "Are you sure?"

"I'm trying to impress you," he said with a sexy look.

Her smile couldn't be contained. "Well alright then. I'll see you out front."

Rebekah walked off and Enzo moved Freya quickly along, basically dragging her behind him, trying to not make a scene, except he brought her towards the bathrooms first. "I think she's going to be sick," Enzo said to the people standing in line, getting them to scatter.

He opened the back door near the bathrooms out into the alley and set her down. Her arms and legs went flying.

"Freya? Freya can you hear me?" He poked her and there was no reaction. In fact, the only thing she did when he poked her was fall onto her side like a rag doll.

With a quick move, Enzo opened his jacket and pulled out the syringes. If she woke up, she would probably kill him. Caroline definitely owed him.

The first needle pricked Freya's wrist and as he held his breath, nothing happened. She subtly winced, but she was absolutely wasted. He wasn't picky where he got her, but he spread out the spots so it would be less noticeable the next day.

With a quick exhale, he put the filled needles back in his pocket and lifted Freya up. As soon as he did, she puked all over his shoes.

"Perfect," he said in a dry voice.

Ignoring the disgusting mess for the moment, he brought her around to the front of the building.

Rebekah spotted them immediately and raced over to them. "Why are you coming from the back?" She pulled Freya over her own shoulder having just hailed a cab.

"We had a bit of an accident," he said, gesturing to his shoes. That's when the smell hit her and she was mortified. "I took her towards the bathroom, fearing this and well, I didn't move quickly enough."

"I'm so sorry," Rebekah said over and over.

Enzo smiled and helped her get Freya into the car who was mumbling something about martinis.

He took Rebekah's hand and kissed it. The old fashioned gesture was a nice touch. "It was lovely to meet you, Rebekah. You owe me new shoes."

Rebekah gave him a coy look as she got into the cab. "Goodnight, Enzo."

Enzo watched them leave and reached for his phone, but before he could pull it free from his pocket, Klaus once again had him lifted up off the ground and pulled into the same alley he had just come from.

"What did you do to my sister?"

"Which one?" he croaked out.

Caroline wiggled her brows. "Quite the moves, Enzo. I would consult against a sister love triangle though. Wait, what is that smell?"

She sniffed around and then started to gag. "Klaus, put him down. He stinks."

Klaus threw him against the far building as if he weighed nothing. "Yes, he does."

Enzo rubbed the back of his head where it hit the wall. That hurt. "I didn't do anything to your sister. She got plastered and passed out. She proceeded to throw up on me."

Caroline started to laugh and Klaus grinned. This was perfect.

"Did you get the blood?" Klaus asked.

"At your service, Caroline," Enzo said as he slowly opened his jacket and brought out the five syringes, ignoring Klaus.

Caroline raced over to him and put them carefully in the purse Klaus still held. Then she went back to Enzo and while carefully maintaining her distance from his lower legs and shoes, she pressed kiss after kiss onto his cheek. "You're the best!"

Klaus rolled his eyes, but after all, Enzo did come through. "Thank you, mate," Klaus said so softly he hoped it wouldn't be heard, but it was.

"I am Caroline's friend," Enzo said sternly, meeting Klaus' eye as Caroline continued to kiss him. Klaus nodded and Enzo tipped his head. "Alright, Caroline, I get it. Other women are going to see your lipstick and stay away from me now."

Caroline laughed as Klaus texted Davina to tell them he was on his way and he would meet her in the cemetery in five minutes. "How you managed that, Enzo, I will never know, but thanks! We have to head out and get these to a witch. Drinks tomorrow."

Klaus put out his hand and Caroline took it. "Oh, wait, Enzo, did you say to Freya when you got the blood, 'Caroline Forbes sends her regards?'"

"No," he smirked as her face fell.

They took another few steps away and he called out to them. "Is Rebekah single?"

Caroline's laughter trailed after them as the duo whooshed away into the night.
