Chapter 10: Surprise! Surprise!
When Klaus said that he was going to give Caroline and I a proper welcome to New Orleans, I really did think that he's planning on torturing the life out of us and god knows do what else. However it turned out something entirely different and unexpected. Caroline and I were currently sitting at the dinning table with the original siblings and there were delicious looking food served right in front of us. Not to mention along with rich wine and slow music played by compelled musicians.
I should've been surprised but then I remembered that Klaus has a tendency of providing nice meals to people in order to get information out of them. He did that with Hayley in season four. And Rebekah too. Of course Stefan was with them. And how could I forget the lunch with Alexander in twelfth century. Klaus and Elijah were trying to learn about the hunters, about the five more specifically. Therefore I looked completely unsurprised after a moment of confusion. Unlike me however, Caroline looked very shocked and couldn't believe her eyes. Apparently she also thought that Klaus was going to torture us to death. Well good for us that the originals decided to play nice. Though the situation would be better for me if I could avoid Kol's nerve raking gaze. He was staring at me without even blinking for once. It felt like a vulture looking at it's prey.
Honestly speaking, this Kol was so cold. Even though the same person but the future Kol and the past Kol seemed like north pole and south pole to me. Weird right. I looked away from Kol and concentrated on the dishes instead. Food was already served in our plates. It looked mouth watering. Elijah looked at Caroline and I with a nice smile.
"Please miss Caroline, miss Lolita-" and he motioned for us to start eating. "I can assure you, we have the best cook in New Orleans."
"I'm not hungry" said Caroline while crossing her arms over her chest and pulled a tough look on her face. Shrugging my shoulders I started stuffing my mouth rather shamelessly.
"Lolita!" Caroline scolded me for that.
"What? I'm starving. And FYI this could be my last meal. Let me enjoy. And I advise you do that same." I said with my mouth full. Damn this stuff is really good, whatever dish it is. I thought to myself. I guess it was chicken. Yeah it was definitely chicken. I love chicken. Caroline rolled her eyes at me but didn't touch her food. Rude.
"What is FYI?" Rebekah asked curiously.
"For your information. It's an abbreviation. We use a lot of abbreviation. It's a future thing. Like by the way is BTW. And oh my god is OMG. Oh I remember OMG!... when I say that it doesn't sound so funny but the one time Elijah said it, it was hilarious." I blurted out without thinking about it for a second. Caroline scowled at me.
"I never said OMG" said Elijah with a curious look on his face. Before I could stop myself I started speaking again.
"Sure you did. In season two when you explained to Elena that Klaus is actually your brother, she was so shocked and didn't know what to say, so you said and I quote 'Yes, I'm a little behind on the times, but I believe the term you're searching for is O.M.G. You know considering I've only seen every episode once, I remember everything very clearly. I always knew I have sharp memory. My aunt always made me doubt that though. Horrible person she is. She's the one who stuck me with this god awful name. I mean Lolita, seriously. You know what it means? A sexually precocious young girl. Do I look like a girl who could be sexually precocious? Don't answer that. Me still being a virgin is enough proof of that. I am sure my aunt just hates me. Don't know why though-"
"Lolita!" Caroline yelled at me. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"I don't know." I replied completely calmly. "I think I'm going crazy finally. I mean who wouldn't. First landing into a TV show and then time traveling in the said TV show. It's a lot to take in and-"
"Lolita, shut up. For god's sake shut up."
"Actually she can't" spoke up Klaus with a smirk gaining both mine and Caroline's attention. "Since we need answers and you both can't be compelled, I put some truth serum into her food. Now she will tell us everything we want to know."
Caroline gaped hearing that which caused Klaus to grin widely. "Didn't think we shall find a way to make you talk, did you? Well surprise surprise!" Caroline sighed out in frustration and shook her head to herself. She got worried too. I however laughed hearing that. Truth serum. No wonder I feel like a drunken loon all on a sudden. I guess it was side effect number 1. Thinking that I laughed more.
"That's super smart dude."
"Super smart. Quite a strange way you speak miss Lolita" commented Elijah with a faint smirk.
"It's a future thing too." I said.
"And what bloody hell is a dude?" wondered Rebekah rather rudely. I knew she was amused but she was hiding it.
"Come on Bekah. You don't have to act like a bitch in front of us. We know you're a real softie on the inside." Caroline rolled her eyes hearing that. "Oh I wish Matt was here. You know you're so in love with him in the future. Even now I think he could have melted you in a second. But I guess Stefan could have done that too. And Marcel- no he is here but he still needs to grow up. But once he does you two are gonna hit it off quite well. Guaranteed. Isn't that right Caroline?" I asked her.
Instead of answering my question, Caroline started slapping her own forehead. Rebekah suddenly grew very uncomfortable and looked at her bothers with nervousness and they also looked back at her with hostility. Especially Klaus. Kol however looked rather amused than angry.
"She is lying. I shall never get involved with Marcellus" said Rebekah to Klaus and Elijah. She was sounding absolutely horrified.
"I AM NOT. I ate the truth syrup."
"Serum." Elijah corrected me.
"Right truth potion. So I can only speak the truth. Though I know you won't understand half the things I say but that's the beauty of it. I know I should be horrified at myself for telling you everything like I am but I just don't give a damn about it. How awesome is that!" Suddenly Klaus got angry and he hit the table surface with his palms and he stood up to hover over me.
"Enough with nonsense. Tell me about my curse." He yelled at my face. Caroline immediately got tensed up but I remained completely calm. I guess it was side effect no. 2 of the truth serum. I even sighed out dreamily and gave Klaus a nice smile.
"Wow, you're really cute Nikky. I can totally see why Caroline couldn't resist you at one point. But I must warn you now, she's going to make you work really hard. But I guess there's nothing to warn about. I mean after all you enjoyed pursuing her. You became such a lover boy for her. It was really sweet and romantic. Given that you two never got into an actual relationship but she-" Caroline screamed and put her hand on my mouth, interrupting me in the process before I could say more. She looked completely flushed. I guess she realized that I was going to talk about their sex next.
"Lolita don't you dare." Caroline threatened me. Klaus raised his eye brows at Caroline which she intentionally ignored.
"Nik- the lover boy." Kol spoke up with a smirk and damn he sounded smug. Klaus glared at his younger brother. "So Nik and her?" I ignored Klaus and Caroline as well and vehemently nodded my head looking at Kol. I took Caroline's hand off my mouth and quickly answered-
"Yes Nik and her. Fans call it Klaroline." Caroline sighed out heavily and looked away from everyone. She looked completely helpless and frustrated. But who the hell cares. I noticed Kol frowning at me with confusion and I realized what he was confused about, so I cleared it up immediately.
"Klaus + Caroline = Klaroline. It's a future thing. People usually try to put a couples individual name together. Such as Klaroline, Delena, Stelena, Stebekah, Mebekah, Kennett and dot dot dot dot. Damn, I think I've just become a shipper. Klaroline forever. Cheers." And I drank a bit from the wine glass. Hmm yummy.
"That's lovely. Well you are right about one thing. We are indeed not understanding most of the things you are saying Miss Lolita" said Kol rolling his eyes at me. I immediately scowled at him.
"Oh for heaven's sake stop with the Miss Lolita. It's just Lolita. And she's just Caroline. Why do you speak so formally? It's boring." I complained.
"It is a past thing Miss Lolita" said Kol with a smirk. Copy cat. I shook my head at him and muttered to myself-
"Always the rebellious one. Well at least you're more tolerable in the future. Gosh I miss him." I sighed out heavily saying that. And got a little upset too. Also my calmness seemed a little less this time.
"Him? Him who?" asked Kol rather curiously.
"You. I mean the future you. The one who is friends with me."
"I am friends with you."
"No not you. The future you. Technically it is you but still it's not you. But then again I think it is you. But you're so different than you. What the hell am I talking about?" I stopped blabbering and shook my head vehemently. Suddenly the world seemed upside down to me. My surroundings seemed to be spinning around me.
"Caroline" I called her name nervously. Why do I suddenly feel so horribly sick?
"Lolita, are you okay?" Caroline asked me worriedly. I shook my head to her.
"I think- I think- I am I am gonna-" I quickly got up from the table and started running towards the door to go outside with a hand over my mouth so that I wouldn't throw up in the middle of the room.
"The truth serum's effect is wearing off." I heard Elijah say before I ran out of the room. Caroline wanted to follow me but Klaus didn't let her. Outside I threw up in a nice corner. Thank god I didn't eat much otherwise I would be throwing up more. And thank god I didn't eat much otherwise I would be speaking up more. Gosh I didn't remember feeling so horribly sick before.
"You are going to feel sick for a while." Suddenly a voice spoke up behind me. I screamed and turned around. Kol was standing there. looking rather careless and ignorant. But if he didn't care then why he is here.
"What have you done to me?" I accused him angrily while glaring at him all the while feeling very weak and nauseated.
"Actually it was Nik who put the truth serum in your food. I don't have any hand in that matter therefore I have done nothing to you. Yet anyway."
"Yet, what does that mean?" I asked breathing heavily as I tried to calm myself down. I was having difficulty to even stand at the moment. I had to hold onto the wall for support. Damn Klaus.
"Well depending on your cooperation, we could be doing a lot of enjoyable things together in the near future or a lot of torturous things which also would be enjoyable for me but I shall give you choices first Miss Lolita" said Kol arrogantly.
"Oh how kind of you Mr. Kol." I said sarcastically. Kol nodded with a smirk and started to walk away. But he stopped in his way and said-
"You can call me Kol." With that he was gone. Talk about being unpredictable. I shook my head lightly. A groaned escaped my breath immediately as I felt heavy in my head quite badly. Damn damn damn Klaus. Wish I was smart like Caroline and didn't touch the food. Suddenly I realized that I've yak out a lot of things in front of the originals. True that they didn't get most of the things but still we are in big trouble now. A gasp escaped my mouth at the realization. Caroline is going to kill me now. Especially because of the things I've said about Klaroline. God, why is this happening to me. Why? Just why? Feeling absolutely pissed I kicked a barrel near by and hurt my own feet. I started jumping holding my feet.
"You are quite amusing you know." Suddenly a female voice spoke up. It made me scream nonetheless. I turned around and came face to face with Rebekah.
"What is with you Mikaelson siblings? If you want to kill me just kill me, don't try to give me a heart attack."
"Elijah said you must rest. I am here to take you to your room" said Rebekah ignoring my comment and she spoke kind of less rudely this time.
"Where's Caroline?" I asked.
"She will be busy for a while with Nik. You never know Klaroline might happen in nineteenth century now" saying that Rebekah smirked as I gaped at her. I realized it right away that this journey will be full of surprises.
