Hey guys! I am finally back with an update! Please forgive me for the wait!
I hope you guys like it :)
"Here goes," Caroline told the three Mikaelson men.
"Here goes," They agreed.
When the group entered the living room they looked over at the four people that stood in the living room.
Kol and Elijah stepped out and said, "Welcome back."
Rebekah ran into Kol's arms when she spotted him and hugged him tightly.
"You—I thought you—were dead." Rebekah stuttered as she pulled away from him and looked into his eyes.
"I was…" Kol laughed. "Did you actually mourn my death, or did you throw a party?"
"Of course I mourned you! You're my bloody brother."
"I know I am, but we never really got along…"
"I know, but you're still my brother and truth be told I am glad you're back."
"I am indeed," Kol said as he grinned at her. "To ruin your life." He added as he crossed his arms over his broad chest.
"That's the Kol I love to hate…" Rebekah rolled her eyes as she sat down next to him.
"Caroline why are you standing next to him?" Elena questioned.
"I can't get out." Caroline told her and shrugged.
"How did Elijah and Kol get out?" Elena wondered and the Salvatore brothers nodded.
"Get comfortable, because this is a pretty long story." Caroline sighed and Klaus nodded.
"We're all ears, Blondie." Damon smirked as he pulled out a chair and pulled Elena to him. She sat on his lap and looked over at Stefan wearily.
"Don't worry about it." Stefan said as he pulled Rebekah onto his lap.
Kol and Elijah looked between the two curiously and Klaus laughed.
"I forgot to tell you, my brothers. Stefan and Rebekah are back to shagging."
"Back to shagging?" Kol questioned.
"When you were in a box, Stebekah here had a thing." Klaus announced as he laughed. When Klaus and Caroline were alone they continued to watch Once Upon a Time and Caroline called Emma and Captain Hook, Captain Swan.
Two days ago:
"Captain Swan is the cutest!" Caroline announced.
"Captain Swan?" Klaus questioned.
"Oh, right. You're a one thousand year old Hybrid. Anyway the blonde chick from Once Upon a Time is named Emma Swan and the pirate is named Killian Jones but is known as Captain Hook."
"I'm lost." Klaus told her.
"Oy… Okay, anyway… Today people that like a couple on a TV show are called shippers."
"Shippers? As in they are a part of a ship?" He questioned.
"Something like that, but not in the literal sense." Caroline told him.
"So in what sense?" He asked her as he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
"You're impossible." She sighed.
"I want to know. Come on, love. Tell me."
"The point is the shippers put two names together. Like mine and yours, if we were in a TV show would probably be Klaroline or Caroklaus."
"I like Klaroline better." Klaus declared.
"Why?"
"Because of the 'K' of course." He said as a grin broke out on his face.
Caroline rolled her eyes and turned back to the TV.
"Do you get it?" She asked him as she watched the remainder of the show.
"I guess…" Klaus admitted.
"Good," Caroline smiled. "Now shut up and let me watch."
Klaus chuckled but stayed silent for the rest of time.
Present:
"Did you just call us Stebekah?" Stefan frowned.
"Yeah I did, it's something Caroline taught me in our time here." Klaus told him.
"Wait, hold up. I'm really confused right now." Kol said.
"Why?" Klaus asked him.
"I assumed that you met the Salvatore brothers when you first came to Mystic Falls to break your curse."
"You've missed quite a lot, little brother. Back in the twenties Stefan was known as the Ripper and Rebekah and I met him in Chicago."
"The Ripper? Really?" Kol wondered.
"Yeah," Stefan chimed in.
"What happened to you? It seems like you used to be a lot of fun but now… not really."
"I changed." Stefan simply said.
"Enough about my brother. Kol, I thought I recognized you the night of the ball."
"Yeah… Probably because you saw me the night before the ball, when Elijah removed the dagger from my heart."
"No, I met you earlier on. I just can't remember where."
Kol scrunched his nose up and thought about why Damon thought he knew him.
"1864." Kol said.
"You were in Mystic Falls in 1864?" Stefan asked as he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
"I was, yeah." Kol answered.
"What the bloody hell were you doing in Mystic Falls?" Klaus asked.
Klaus remembered Kol telling him that he was going to travel Europe on his own back then.
"I had some business that I had to attend to."
"And what was that business?" Elijah asked just as confused as Klaus.
"I was keeping an eye on Katherine, okay?" Kol admitted.
"Katherine? My Katherine?" Elijah asked bemused.
"Yeah, yeah… She wasn't your Katherine at the time, though."
"Kol! You knew I was looking for her! You knew that I wanted to tear her throat out and you lied to me?" Klaus roared.
"Yes, Nik. I lied but only because Katherine confused me."
"Just like she confused both my brother and I." Damon shook his head.
Stefan nodded and waited for Kol to continue his story.
"Katherine was beautiful; I wanted her for myself so I got her."
"You know she was with the both of us during that time, right?" Stefan asked.
"Yeah, I know… She was actually with the Lockwood man as well." Kol shrugged.
"What a whore." Damon said amused as he shook his head.
Elijah's hands balled into fists and he wanted to knock in the Salvatore's teeth. Caroline looked over at Elijah and could see his cheeks beginning to flush in anger.
"Elijah…" Caroline warned.
Elijah turned to Caroline fiercely but his gaze softened when he saw Caroline smiling at him reassuringly.
"Guys… Maybe we should stop talking about Katherine." Caroline announced.
"Why? She's a fucking whore." Damon spat as he remembered what the bitch put him through.
Elijah's hands began to itch because he wanted to rip the older Salvatore's heart out.
"Damon, you shouldn't be talking." Caroline said.
"What's that supposed to mean, Blondie?" Damon asked as he came forward.
"Come through the barrier and you're a dead man." Klaus warned him, his voice dangerously low.
Damon laughed but backed away. "Tell me what you meant." He said to Caroline.
"Elena, I don't mean to be rude but your boyfriend is a man whore. Deny it all you want but it won't change his past."
"How am I a man whore?"
"Do you really want me to tell you?" Caroline questioned as she raised her eyebrows at him.
"Go ahead." Damon shrugged as he motioned for her to continue.
"Let's start off with when you came to Mystic Falls. " Caroline said.
"Let's,"
"I was human and I was stupid so you took advantage of me. You used me as your personal blood bag and you took advantage of my body..."
"Last time I checked you were the one that threw yourself at me."
"I threw myself at you because I didn't know what you were."
"If you did. Would that have made a difference?" Damon asked.
"No."
"That's a lie."
"Enough! Talk to Caroline like that again and I will make good on my promise." Klaus earned him.
"Klaus, hold on. I'm not finished yet." Caroline said as she faced him.
"You're going to let that bloke talk to you like that?" Klaus questioned.
"No, but I do want to continue my little observation."
"Do continue, by all means." Damon spat in her direction.
"Oh I will." Caroline smiled at him innocently.
"The next person was Rose." Caroline clarified.
Damon sucked in a breath and looked down at the floor sadly.
Caroline noticed Damon's reaction and realized that Rose wasn't just a body that warmed his bed.
"Rose?" Elijah questioned.
"Yeah," Caroline told him.
Elijah nodded and looked over at Damon.
"You cared about her?" Elijah asked him.
"Yes," Damon confessed.
"Shit..." Caroline muttered.
"Blondie, is there anybody else you want to add in?" Damon questioned her.
"Forget it." Caroline shook her head.
Damon nodded and excused himself. When Damon was outside Caroline looked over at Elena embarrassed.
"Did you really have to put him on the spot like that?" Elena questioned angrily.
Caroline shook her head and Klaus entwined his fingers with hers and she let him.
The group looked down at their joined hands and then at their faces.
"What's going on?" Bonnie asked as she motioned to their joined hands.
"You remember how I told you it was a bit complicated as to why everybody else could get out of the barrier and I couldn't?"
"Yeah…" Bonnie nodded.
"Okay… well, here goes…" Caroline said nervously.
Klaus squeezed Caroline's hand in a comforting matter and she looked over at him with a smile.
"Did you compel her?" Stefan shouted from where he sat.
"No he didn't." Caroline said.
"Then why are you answering? Why isn't he answering?" Stefan questioned.
"Rest assured mate, I would never compel Caroline." Klaus said finally speaking up.
"That's a lie! You compelled me back in the twenties." Stefan said.
"Yes, I did. For your own safety."
"Don't pretend like you gave a shit about me." Stefan snapped.
"Of course I gave a shit about you. You were like my brother." Klaus defended himself.
"Brothers don't compel each other." Stefan told him pointedly.
"Stefan, you probably still don't understand but Rebekah and I couldn't be killed. You however… That's a different story." Klaus stated.
"How is it a different story?" Stefan asked.
"If you were to go with us, Mikael would have killed you."
"Nik, don't even start." Rebekah told him.
"Start what?" Klaus questioned his little sister.
"You kept me in a box for ninety years!"
"I kept you in a box for ninety years because I wanted to protect you!"
"Like you said… We couldn't nor can be killed. I would have been able to take care of myself."
"I know… I know."
"Then why did you dagger me? Why did you take ninety years out of my immortal life?" Rebekah asked him.
"Because I was afraid."
"Afraid of what? Mikael killing me?"
"No… I was afraid that Mikael would take you away from me. We all know that you were always his favorite."
Rebekah's doe blue eyes softened at Klaus' confession and she gave him a small smile.
"I'm not going anywhere, Nik." Rebekah reassured him.
Klaus nodded and Bonnie spoke up, "I'm glad that, that was resolved but can the two of you please tell us what the hell is going on?"
"Yes," Klaus and Caroline said in unison.
"I'll start." Caroline told Klaus and the others.
"So, it all started when I walked in a couple of days ago. Elena, I came because I wanted to make up. You're one of my best friends and I didn't want to have a friendship get thrown out the window because of a falling out…"
Elena nodded at the blonde and Caroline continued.
"When I was on the patio, I smelled something burned and the door was open. I came in and there was a man on the floor—Klaus—I thought it was Matt so I quickly ran into the living room and imagine my surprise when I saw it was Klaus."
"Wait, I don't understand… Why are you still stuck in their?" Bonnie asked.
"I'm guessing you guys don't want to hear the whole story of how Klaus and I bonded so I guess I'll get to the good part."
"Our bonding was the good part… Or at least one of them." Klaus smiled at her and Caroline nudged him softly.
"The point is Elijah called a witch."
"A witch? Which one?" Bonnie asked Elijah.
"Her name is Tamara." Elijah told her.
Bonnie nodded and motioned for Caroline to continue.
"Tamara told Elijah to enter the barrier and he did and then she asked him to get out. When Elijah got out, Tamara knew why I was stuck in the living room with Klaus."
"Why?" Bonnie asked.
"I'm Klaus' mate." Caroline admitted.
The groups eyes widened in surprise and Caroline shifted from one foot to the other. Would her friends understand? She didn't know.
There you have it! Another cliff hanger I know... I'll try and update sooner because this story is coming to an end.
