Author's Note: Thank you all for all the wonderful feedback that you have given me in the last chapter. The last chapter was a very hard chapter for me to write and the story line is becoming more complex than I had originally thought, but writing this is becoming more and more enjoyable.
You guys sent me loads of reviews that always made my iPod beep with every email fanfiction sent me telling me that one of you guys have reviewed. (My iPod beeped like super loudly in Biology while the teacher was giving a lecture when Lollip review. Thank God, I didn't get it taken away and no one noticed.)
So yeah time for response!
To Lollip: Thank you!
To Justine: Yes…Klaus has slept with Katerina. I think Klaus will learn of Carolina's turning either this or next chapter. Kol may be in some deep shit once, Klaus finds out… Hm, about Klaus running after her, we'll have to see.
To Bullet2tm: Thank you.
To WhySoCuriousGeorge: Stiles is hilarious! Derek Hale and Issac are like the only reasons why I watch the show. Teen Wolf has such cute guys to choose from, though not as many as the Vampire Diaries. Thank you, as for Kol/Caroline's dynamic I haven't really noticed their dynamic I just sort of wrote them the way I pictured in my head. Carolina slipping in and out of English is mainly taken from my mom who starts to speak Creole/French if she is feeling passionate.
To TopazDragon: Damn typos. Thank you for pointing them out, I tried to make less mistake in this chapter. I will try to make Rebekah's snooping as entertaining as possible, though I have no clue how. Elijah just needs to learn that just because someone shares the same face doesn't make them the same person, though you right about the differences making him fall for her. Maybe I may make that one-shot.
To Chetopat: Dude, get off my back. Just because I haven't gotten to all the Klaroline scenes yet doesn't mean you have to discourage others from reading this story. If you believe you're wasting time reading this then don't bother leave a review and remember that the dame back button is always there waiting to be clicked.
To Element Siren: Soon, my child, soon.
Okay those are all the reviews that I believe I need to respond to. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Part One: Chapter Ten
"Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools suffers harm."—Unknown Author
[1492/England]
Something was off.
Klaus, even though he was busy entertaining the doppelgänger (he had finally memorized her name was Katerina after a week) he was still very much aware of the things in his castle. He knew that Kol and Rose were getting usually close and we talking about something that they had hid in the dungeon. Trevor and Elijah seemed to becoming almost friendly of each other, but when it came to who would spend time with the girl they would fight like dogs. Rebekah was busy trying to juggle entertaining Katerina when he wasn't around and trying to find out what Rose and Kol were hiding. Rebekah was to inform him of her findings as soon as possible. And Katerina was mostly oblivious to everything that was going on around her, but was constantly fretting over the disappearance of her friend Carolina. That was a major problem.
Like Katerina, Klaus had expected the girl to be here too, however she was nowhere in sight. He had to compel Katerina many times that her friend was alright, but he couldn't keep doing that. There were only so many times you could compel someone before the compulsion became permanent. Carolina had to be found so that he could turn her and so Katerina would stop her worrying.
Klaus watched as his witch, Donatella, walked around with some books under her arms. That was also becoming suspicious. His witch was working and reading more. At first he assumed that it was for the ritual, but she could have just asked him about it since he knew the ritual better than the back of his own hand. Lately at night his werewolf side would stir inside of him, the hackles of the wolf would stand on end as he felt something dark and powerful dance across the air. It would keep Klaus restless and make him stay awake for hours.
Klaus pinched his nose and took in a deep breath.
This was going to be a long month.
Rebekah sighed as she heard nothing but bland stupid words pour out of the mouth of the girl sitting in front of her. She thought she was going to have the girl for acting like a harlot like Tatia, however it turns out that the girl was nothing like Tatia (yet). Instead she finds that Katerina was boring and tasteless. Every word to come out of her mouth felt similar to water coming from a well; boring, clear, and tasteless. Nothing the girl said was exciting or very intriguing, but she knew that her oldest brother, Elijah would disagree.
Whenever, Rebekah witnessed her brother with the wretched doppelgänger she swore that she tasted sugar in her mouth because of how sweet and how kind he was towards her. She liked seeing that her brother was happy, but she felt that he was feeling all the right feeling for all the wrong reasons.
Rebekah sighed as she went back to listening to the doppelgänger. "And Niklaus was so kind to me yesterday, and bought me this wonderful ring in the market place!" Katerina said as she flashed the gaudy looking ring in Rebekah's face.
Rebekah pushed the hand away. "Oh…How nice of my brother." Rebekah felt ill.
"Yes, how kind of him indeed. I have no clue as to why he would court me as I am only a simple girl." The way Katerina said the sentence though suggested that she knew exactly why she was being kept here. Rebekah was not feeling faint at the thought of her favorite brother having sex with the girl. She was becoming ill at the thought of her brother having sex at all.
"Ew, Katerina do you not remember that I am Nik's little sister?! I do not need to know who warms his bed!" Rebekah squealed in obvious disgust. Katerina smiled shyly.
"I am sorry. I am just so accustomed to telling my best friend, Carolina everything and the both of you are just so similar," Katerina said wistfully.
Rebekah turned away from the doppelgänger not wanting to deal with the drama that she was bound to start to delve into. She spotted Kol and Rose walked through the corridor near the garden that the girls were sitting in. Smirking, Rebekah quickly got up and started to follow them.
"Rebekah, where are you going?" Rebekah sighed as she turned slightly to Katerina, not wanting to lose sight of her brother. She still needed to figure out what he was hiding with Rose, but she couldn't just leave the doppelgänger here unprotected; Nik would have her head if she did. Thinking back Rebekah remembered that Katerina had said that she was fond of playing games, no matter how childish they were.
"We're going to play a game, Katerina," Rebekah said. She grabbed the brunette's had and quietly followed after her brother. Slinking down the corridor after him like a thief.
"A game?" Katerina said loudly. Did the girl not know that they were trying to be as quiet as possible or was she just daft? "What type of game? Is it like chase or hide and seek?"
Rebekah's lips twitched at the mention of those games. She had not played those games since she was a human. "Yes, this game is quite like those. You see we must follow Kol and Rose. However, they cannot see us nor must we make a sound if you make a sound you lose or if they see you, you lose."
Katerina looked at her with the most dumbfounded face before she broke into a smile and nodded. Rebekah then let go out her hand and started to follow her brother as discreetly as possible. Kol and Rose were standing near a door at the end of the hall, quietly discussing something. Rebekah walked normally, but kept herself close to the walls. She looked back to see how Katerina was fairing and also slapped herself.
The girl was tip-toeing down the halls, ducking behind doors, vases, table (which she was obviously visible under) and chairs. She was currently hiding behind a curtain but her boots were visible making the scene comical. Rebekah sighed.
Katerina may only be living for a month, but Rebekah had to teach her the art of espionage.
One.
Her face changed and she rushed towards her prey.
Two.
She grabbed her prey roughly and dug her face into the crevice where their shoulder and neck met. The heartbeat was strongest there.
Three.
Her fangs lightly scraped the skin as he eyes found the largest and easily most visible vein there. The pulse was thrumming rapidly in her prey. She could hear it.
Four.
Her teeth dug into the paper thin flesh of her prey. Her prey was crying out, begging for her to stop, but she couldn't. The blood was just too good; so tasty.
Fivesixseveneightnineten!
Like that she was done and she pushed the body away from her. Her time was up. She raced back to her cage and shut the door. Her body was begging for more, but it did not need anymore. Her bloodlust could be contained.
"I am so proud of you." Smiling, Carolina hugged Rose tightly as she entered the cell. For almost a week she had been stuck down in the dank a dinky cell, but she had finally mastered her bloodlust. She could finally go outside and see her friend again. She could face Klaus.
Carolina looked over Rose's shoulder as they hugged and smiled at Kol. The smile was bittersweet, but a smile nonetheless. She wouldn't have made it that far without him. Letting Rose, go Carolina smiled and squealed a little in happiness. Kol chuckled.
"Here," Kol said as he tossed her something that glinted in the air. Carolina caught it and turned it around in her hands. It was a ring. The band was silver and it had two small turquoise stones then a big lapis lazuli stone. She looked at Kol confused as she had never received anything so nice before excluding her former clients.
"It's a ring that has been spelled by a witch," as he said this Carolina tilted her head to the side in speculation. There was so much more she was going to have to learn. "It will allow you to walk in the sunlight." Carolina eyes widened at the thought. She could walk in sunlight again.
She slipped the ring on her ring finger and slowly but surely walked into a patch of sunlight. She didn't burn…She didn't burn! Carolina smiled as she squealed once more and flung herself at Kol. "Thank you! Merci, Kol! Bénissez oh votre âme! Vous ne comprenez pas comment reconnaissant je suis pour ceci. Merci! Merci! Ce qui pourrait j'avoir fait sans ceci! (Thank you, Kol! Oh bless your soul! You do not understand how grateful I am for this. Thank you! Thank you! What could I have done without this!)" Carolina made a wild gesture to the ring that now sat on her finger. Kol chuckled at her again.
"It was not too long ago you were hoping that my bones burned to ash and now you are blessing my soul. What a strange being you are," Kol snickered. Carolina ignored the jab and smiled up at him.
"Come now, Carolina should head to a room and rest there. She has been gone for a while and she need her rest after all this training she has been doing," Rose said as she took her by the arm and led her away.
"I intend to do as I promised the night of the party," Kol shouted after her as Rose led her up the stairs that led out of the dungeon. Carolina felt fear tickle her spine, but she ignore it. She was going to sleep in a real bed tonight.
Donatella could feel the dark, enticing power swirl around her as the Recessit fed her body power. Spells to access dream took a lot of power, especially if it was over a large distance. Mikael was somewhere in Italy, a long ways away from England, but if the man wanted to kill his children bad enough he would get here before the monster was able to unlock his full potential.
Taking a spoonful of Finn's blood she mixed in a bowl of sea water and herbs as she chanted the words needed. "Confringet ossa. Frange scuta. Virtute movere animum Intrem! Verba suavitatis! Mens veneni! Positum esse eum patiatur! Spatium non tempus est pars test!" The magic was swirling around her a funneling into the bowl. Mikael was not resting, but now she would know when he was and be able to enter his dreams. The blood, water, and herbs swirling furiously in the bowl and Donatella gasped as she saw a picture appear in the bowl.
It was a picture of her cousin, Charlotte. But what did this have to do with Klaus's death. Donatella's cousin Charlotte was walking. She was perfectly fine and unharmed, but Donatella kept watching.
Charlotte suddenly grabbed her head and screamed in pain, or what Donatella could assume she was screaming in pain as there was no sound. Blackish veins, similar that of a vampires, climbed up her arms like worms and where ever the veins appear Charlotte would scratch at the veins furiously, peeling her skin in the process.
"Charlotte, stop." Donatella murmured. Charlotte could not hear her and gripped her head as the black veins reached her head. Her eyes were becoming bloodshot as she cried in pain. Donatella whimpered and felt tears fall down her cheeks, why was this being shown to her?
Charlotte screamed for one lone, painful moment before her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she slumped forward dead. Donatella screamed a slapped the bowl to the ground. Her cousin what curse had been placed on her to cause her such a painful death. Why did she even have to witness that horrible scene?
Because you left us!
Donatella grabbed her head as she felt a sharp pain sting her skull. She left the Spirits and now they were getting their revenge. Donatella wiped her tears and stood tall. Once she killed Klaus they would accept her back into their good graces. She just needed the Recessit's power to do that one task.
Welcome to the point of no return.
Rebekah sighed as Katerina stumbled and fell for the second time that night. Obviously the two hours Rebekah had taken to explain the art of espionage had fallen on deaf ears. They had been trying to master the art of espionage but Katerina's body seemed to favor the floor then stand up straight. It was already night so they might as well give up. Sighing, Rebekah dismissed the girl and decided to relax in the sitting room.
Taking the time to teach Katerina espionage was tiring seeing as the girl was a klutz, though she was unsure if she was stumbling on purpose. Rebekah sighed as she grabbed liquor from the liquor cabinet and sighed blissfully as she relaxed in a lounge chair.
A rare silence hung in the air and it made Rebekah anxious. It was barely ever silent in the castle. With four five hundred year old siblings it had to be loud, but this silence was eerie and it made Rebekah a little uncomfortable. She decided she was being silly and decided to walk around.
She was walking through one of the thousands or corridors when she heard a voice speaking lowly to someone else.
"No rest, Carolina, you have been missing for a week and have been working hard. I will go and compel Katerina to believe that you were always here with her," a voice said lowly.
"Thank you, Rose," the other lighter voice of who she assumed was Carolina answered. So Rose knew where Katerina was the whole time, now did she? "I wish to see Kol once I awaken. We have something that we need to discuss."
Rebekah quickly pulled away from the door and rushed down the hall.
Ooh, she knew that Kol and Rose were hiding something! Using her full speed, Rebekah rushed towards her brother's study. She threw the doors open, and Klaus looked up at her with an annoyed face. "Don't give me that look," she said as she sat in a seat in front of his desk. "I know what Kol has been hiding."
Klaus stomped down the halls using the full speed that was given with vampirism. Kol was going to get it for turning what he had already deemed was his.
Carolina was supposed to be turned by him. Not Elijah, not Finn, not Rebekah, and certainly not Kol! Carolina was his. He was the one that was supposed to feed her his blood. He was the one that was supposed to watch her kill her first person not that she hadn't done it before.
Klaus frowned as his viciously threw the door open of his little brother's room. There Kol sat feeding from some red head that was soon on the floor as Klaus pushed her aside. Gripping his little brother's neck tightly Klaus growled lowly.
"Why did you do it Kol?" Klaus asked. Kol shot him a confused look and that just upset Klaus more. "You know how I feel about sharing Kol. I am not fond of sharing nor am I of lie, no explain yourself!"
Kol wheezed out an "I have no clue what you are talking about brother."
Klaus growled and threw Kol aside. "Where is she, Kol? Where is Carolina?"
"Oh her," Kol said as her rubbed his throat. "She is sleeping. We have been spending a lot of time together." Klaus's jaw ticked.
"Why did you turn her, Kol? She was mine." Klaus did not like the thought of anyone other than him taking claim for creating the most beautiful monster in history.
"You ignored her at your party last week so she came to me," Kol said. Klaus's eyes narrowed, it was true he did neglect her at the party. Kol smiled as Klaus said nothing. Smirking the infamous Mikaelson smirk Kol strutting past Klaus. "Now, can you leave, I need my rest for my date tomorrow."
Klaus made his face a mask and left the room. Why the hell should he care that Kol and turned Carolina? It was not like he knew the girl all that well.
For now.
Mikael.
Mikael.
Mikael could see nothing, but white burning lights that harmed his sensitive eyes. He used his hands to block out the light but he could still see it through his hands.
Mikael, listen there is not much time.
"Who are you?" Mikael shouted. He did not like that someone was using his dreams to contact him. He didn't like the thought of another in his mind.
A friend. Now listen, Niklaus has all the pieces to unlock his heritage; his birth right.
Mikael growled. "That coward can do nothing, but run!"
He has ran from you, but if things go to plan then he will have no need to run. He could destroy you if you decided to face him after he has completed the ritual.
"Lies," Mikael spit.
Not lies, just the truth. However, if you come to England you could kill the bastard. You would never have to see Esther's mistake any longer.
"Do not speak of her in such a way!"
Come to England and kill Klaus and Esther's name shall be cleared.
The dream ended.
Donatella smiled as she woke from her nap. It had worked.
