THIS WAS A NEW CONCEPT FOR ME, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW MARCEL AS MUCH AND I DON'T KNOW HIM WELL AS A CHARACTER, SO BEING IN HIS HEAD WAS A BIT OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
PS. THE THANKGIVING FIC IS OFFICIALLY ABANDONED.
Caroline sat and saw Klaus sit beside her. They were waiting for Marcel to come, since Klaus insisted he had to talk to him about something. Something really important. He asked him to come alone, since his bodyguards tended to get cranky whenever they saw something even remotely dangerous against Marcel. They both ordered a shot, since she needed the most. They had no plan, so she was improvising this one. Good thing she was drama major. The waitress smiled and said, "Bad day?"
She has no idea, Caroline thought.
She had to admit she was nervous about this whole thing. What would happen if Marcel was different now? She hadn't seen the man in nine years. Maybe he has changed, maybe he will not take the truce, but she had to try. It was the least she could do.
They waited for ten minutes before assuming he wasn't going to come. That disappointed Caroline. She had to admit that after all this time, she was excited about seeing Marcel. She got up the stool and was turning to leave, when she felt Klaus' hand linked with hers. She turned, a questioning look planted on her hair. But then he saw him. He looked just like she remembered him. Tall and graceful, all a vampire was. But her body instantly freeze with fear. She didn't wanted to look weak here so she stood tall, matching Klaus' posture.
She felt someone stand behind her, warm breath on the nape of her neck and instantly felt safer.
"He so much as touches you, he will pay" She rolled her eyes, but took the comment into consideration. She nodded. "I'll be in the bar"
She turned her attention to Marcel, who seemed to be looking at her like he was looking at an angel. Like he couldn't believe what he was seeing. She knew the feeling.
"Caroline?" He asked with so much disbelieve, she smiled.
"Hello Marcel"
He couldn't believe what he was seeing. After all this time, his angel had come to him. She had grown a lot, but she had the same light that surrounded her ten years ago. He never forgot her, and he vowed he would come back to her. Seems that she came back for him. They sat down, Caroline grabbing her drink.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, and she sighted. Like what she was about to say pained her. "Wait- How are you even here? How did you know where I was? Did you came for me?" The questions
"Stop with the questions! No I did not came here for you, actually. But I did came here because of you" Now he was confused. Why would she come here, to this bar, because of him? He came here to talk to Klaus, which he didn't see anywhere. The bastard is probably late.
{Just so you know, Klaus is in the background, drinking bourbon. He is seating in a stool}
"Well, I came here to meet a friend but it seems that he's late" Again, he uttered in his mind. He couldn't believe that Klaus was late for another meeting, this time one that he planned.
"Actually he's not late" Now Marcel was really confused. Why would she said that? He thought back to the girl he saw in LSU. The one that resembled Caroline extremely and that he thought would never be involved with him. What if it really was her? He thought in her mind.
"What are you talking about Caroline? Do you even know the man" he laughed now at someone calling Klaus something other than Monster or Hybrid. Then he thought of something "Wait? Are you here with someone?"
"Yes, my boyfriend" He saw Caroline look at her back, then tensed as she noticed he noticed her actions, then smiled shakily.
"Who is you boyfriend, may I ask? And how rude of me, I didn't buy you a drink!"
"I already have one, thanks. And you will meet him, in due time. You will see him, actually, today" She said cheerfully, then quietly she murmured "And hopefully, you'll be in peace"
"Caroline, I know we haven't seen each other in a long time, and one thing you need to know about this is that I don't like to keep waiting" Marcel said tensely. He had to remember she was a human, though he could smell wolf around her. Either she was the wolf, or someone has been rolling around with her, that someone being a werewolf.
"I don't recommend you hurting me Marcel. Let's just say it will be painful" Discreetly, he saw her face staring to change, her eyes becoming darker, and veins under her eyes popping. Her eyes were laced red-blood, and fangs grew out. Marcel was shocked. She was a-
"You're a Vampire!?" That was impossible. Thanks to his witches, he knew when a vampire came into town. He knew a vampire came into town, he was just shocked it was her.
"You surprised? I'm sure you've seen far more shocking things than this one. You don't have the right to be shocked by my vamparism, at least I use it for the good of others," the look of disgust hurt him like nothing ever did before. But he still wanted to know her reason in this bar. She obviously knew who he was and what kind of things he did. But wait, if she is a vampire, a new vampire in town that must mean…. "Klaus" He whispered in surprise. His witches did sensed her.
"Excused me?" She asked, a curious streak in her eyes. She still had that curious spirit, where she wanted all the info. He liked that. He always did.
"This guy I know, I send him to look for a new vampire in town. He never came back. He's the same guy I was meeting here" Marcel said. He went back to that meeting with Klaus, him talking about this new baby vampire in town. He remembered Klaus' face, the way it paled and filled with worry, quickly brushing it aside. It was almost as if he knew the baby vampire, as If he cared for her. At the time, Marcel thought of it as nothing to worry about, but now…
"You don't happened to know a vampire name Klaus, do you?" Caroline smiled. That sweet smile that she showed when she was a little girl, now had a murderous streak that Marcel was a little worried about. This was the face of someone who murdered, someone who knew what it felt like to take a life. But he noticed the streak was deep inside her, never reaching the surface. That reassured him.
"That is a very interesting question. As a matter of fact, I do know him. What a small world, isn't it?" Caroline was still smiling, although Marcel was a rock. He remembered the blond chick in the university, and he tensed even more. The more he thought about it, the more sense it made. But he didn't want it to make sense. He didn't want to face that she was the chick in LSU. That she kissed Klaus, and made him all in love. He didn't knew what to think about this knew theory, but he did check the bar more carefully and founded what he wanted to found. Or who, for that matter. Klaus, sitting with his bar at Caroline, listening to everything. He turned to Caroline, suddenly furious. It dawned him that the meeting with Klaus, wasn't really with Klaus. It was with her.
"What are you doing in here? Why are you here? What do you want?"
"I want you to stop this nonsense. To stop this war from coming. It's ridiculous! People are going to die just because of two guys wanting this fucking town! It doesn't have to be this way. Why don't you want to give Klaus his city back?! It was his to begin with. Not yours!" He could see the fury in her eyes, the passion she had, the confidence of this conversation going her way.
"So the truth finally comes out. You're with Klaus, and now you're fighting his battles. How cowardly of him. Why are you with him? His ten times a worse man I ever will be. The things I've done pale with the things he has done. Come with me, and I will show you what a real man is" Caroline was amused by this, he realized. He was now really confused. "What?"
"It's amusing how you think I would go into this relationship with Klaus without knowing what he is or what he has done. He did things to my home town I rather not relive, but even then I saw a spark of humanity left in him. I love him despite all the things that he's done"
"You'd rather be with him than with me?!"
"Call me stupid, but I would choose a million times Klaus, all in his hybrid glory, than someone who doesn't even let witches practice magic freely" Caroline stood up, finishing her drink.
"War still coming, sweetheart. It's inevitable" He was angry and betrayed. He couldn't believe the angel his dreams were all about was with Klaus. But he will make sure it wouldn't stay like that for long. She would be his.
"Then I guess I'll see you then" she said tensely and walked away from the table.
To Klaus.
