Hello my lovelies! The 11th chapter is ready and I hope each of you will enjoy it.
A huge thanks to my beta Sevval(somerholish) who beta-ed this chapter even though she didn't have time. Check her stories, she is an amazing writer and person.
Enjoy!
Caroline sat on the floor. She didn't care that the tears fell down her face. She should've seen this coming. Of course Klaus didn't want her anymore. She couldn't blame him for that. She broke his heart. At least now she knew how he felt towards her. She didn't want to give up on him but she didn't have a choice anymore. It was all her fault. She pushed him away. She didn't know what she felt. She didn't know what to do now. She felt a terrible pain. Broken inside. But he shouldn't have left her alone in dark and crying alone. It seemed like he didn't care about her anymore.
"Why is such a beautiful lady sitting alone at night and crying?", a musciline voice she hadn't recognize coming behind her back interrupted her thoughts. She turned her gaze where the voice came from. There was a black man standing in front of her with a flirtatious look on his face. She frowned.
"I assume that it's not your love life what is the problem.", he said and smirked, showing his crystally white teeth.
"Why do you think so?", she asked carefully watching him. He looked attractive. he was wearing a white T-shirt and you could see how muscular he was.
"I mean, why would somebody like you have love issues? I bet men are chasing you all the time."
She sighed and murmured:"It doesn't matter."
"Look, there is a party down the street. At the first bar. So, if you want to join me..."
"Uhm... Thanks, but I don't really feel like partying right now."
He shrugged.
"Fine, if you change your mind..."
And he left. She wondered if he was anything supernatural. There were bunch of vampires in New Orleans, so he was probably one of them. He didn't look like a human. She thought about his offer. She wanted to stop thinking about Klaus and all the pain she felt at that moment, but she couldn't. Maybe she should have joined the party and forgotten about everything for a while. She needed to relax a bit after everything. She would get drunk until she can't remember anything. She got up and replaced her tears with a fake smile.
When she stepped in, she realized that she wouldn't regret this. Basically everyone was dancing, drinking and having fun. She headed to the bar and ordered a whiskey when the guy she saw earlier appeared besides her.
"You changed your mind", he said with the smirk on his face.
She nodded and drank her whiskey at ex.
"Well, I am glad. Join me on the dance floor?"
"Yes, but later."
He smirked again and left. She drank about ten more whiskeys and a few vodka before she headed to the dance floor. She started dancing in a rhytm of music when the guy joined her. She didn't think about Klaus anymore. Actually she didn't think about anything. She was just having fun with an unknown guy. She was greateful to him though. He made her feel better. She thought that she could use some blood. She didn't feed for almost two days. It was weird. She didn't think about blood at all. But she was craving now. Blood and alchohol put together in her body never caused anything good but she wasn't aware of that now. Or she simply didn't care. She wanted to feed on someone. She remembered the waiter. He was human. He had a pale skin and she could see all of his veins through it.
She searched the whole bar until she found him. He was smoking outside.
"Hey pretty! Where are you going?", he asked and smiled at her.
She used her vampire speed and showed right in front of him. She looked at his eyes using the compulsion.
"This is gonna hurt. But don't scream and don't move", she commanded before harshly putting her fangs into his neck. The fresh blood spilled in her mouth. She loved the taste of it. And she didn't drink it for a while. The last time it was when... Rebekah and Elena threw a party for her and she made out and fed on the guy just to make Klaus jealous. That memory hurt her and she bit the guy she was feeding on even harder. He let out a painful moan. She was drunk and feeding, she thought. She shouldn't have been feeling pain. But she had felt. And she was about to lose control and kill the poor guy. And then she let him. He fell down and started to scream. She drank too much. The guy was gonna die if she doesn't feed him her blood. Yet she saw her ''party buddy'' feeding on a girl. Appearently he was a vampire. Did he follow her? She was drunk and confused but she knew that she had to help this guy or he will die. She shaked her buddy's arm gasping:"Please, help him!"
He let the girl he was feeding and she kept standing there like a statue.
"What?"
"Help him, please!"
"You want me to feed him my blood?", he confusedly asked.
She nodded.
"I don't understand you. You want to heal him? What was the point of feeding then?"
"Please. Just help him!", she desperately gasped.
He grumpy sighed and bit his wrist. Then he forsed the guy to drink it until he was better. "Forget about this", he compelled him and turned to Caroline.
"Thank you", she said.
He let his girl go and now only the two of them were standing there. Caroline felt sober. It wasn't really possible but it was all in the mind, probably. Besides, she was a vampire and drinking didn't have the same effect on her body as for humans.
"You never told me your name", she said looking at him curiously.
He moved closer to her and whispered to her ear: "I am Marcel."
It made her feel uncomfortable. Was this guy into her? She really hoped he wasn't because she felt nothing for him and she never will. There was only one person she was thinking about.
He moved away a little bit and opened his mouth to say something but in that second Klaus appeared and pushed him against the wall showing his fangs at him.
"Don't touch her!", Klaus grawled at him.
Caroline opened her mouth because of shock. What was Klaus doing there? How did he see them? She didn't feel comfortable with Marcel whispering to her ear, but she couldn't let Klaus seriously harm him. And she was mad at him. After just leaving her like that he didn't have right to probably sneak on her and attack Marcel.
"Klaus, let him go!", she exclaimed.
The two of them acted like she wasn't standing there at all. Marcel looked like he was having fun.
"Why? You jealous?", he evily smirked at Klaus.
Klaus pressed his neck harder which made Marcel let out a short growl. Of course he was jealous. His biggest enemy, the one he thought was dead was whispering something to Caroline's ear. But instead of saying that he yelled:"You were supposed to be dead!"
Caroline didn't understand anything. How did Klaus know Marcel? And why was he saying that Marcel was supposed to be dead?
"Well, I am not. And I am having fun more than ever", Marcel said.
"How? Camille told me that Sophie killed you!"
"Camille thought so. But Sophie and I made a deal. I offered to let her use magic if she keeps me alive and lies to Camille", Marcel explained.
Klaus hardly believed him, but obviously it was true. Marcel was standing in front of him. Klaus wanted to kill him. Yet Caroline touched his arm.
"Don't do this, please!", she begged.
Klaus didn't understand why Caroline was trying to save Marcel, but looking into her blue eyes who desperately begged made him let go of Marcel.
"Just this time. Because of her", Klaus said. Marcel was choking for a moment. There had been an awkward silence for a little while.
"So... You two are friends?", Klaus asked Caroline. She could feel jealousy in his voice.
"Uhm... ", she started but Marcel cut her off: ''Yes. We are friends. You have any problem with that?''
Klaus paid attention to him and narrowed his eyes.
''Don't tempt me, I could easily get rid of you'', he threatened and looked at Caroline again.
''Yes, Marcel is my friend. At least he wouldn't leave me crying alone in the darkest hour of night. You have any more questions?''she sharply asked, repeating and imitating the tone of Marcel's.
''Yes. Are you staying here with him or leaving with me?''
She humorlessly laughed.
''You and I are over. I'm staying here.'' She snapped, raising her eyebrow at him. Uttering the words hurt her more than she expected, so she hoped that it also hurt Klaus as it hurt her.
