"All I want,
Is the taste that your lips allow,
Give me love"
Chapter 11
Klaus had gently placed Caroline on her bed after the care of Stefan Salvatore, whom he remembered and trusted from the 20's, although Stefan didn't remember him. He had been raging at Marcel, and had called Elijah to meet at their mansion.
Klaus slammed the door to his home and walked to the study. He entered to find Elijah sitting there waiting for him. Klaus sat down with a huff and explained to Elijah what had happened with Marcel's vampires.
"Niklaus, we must awaken Rebekah. She can keep a watch over Caroline at the school." Elijah suggested. Klaus nodded, replying "What of Kol? He might be help if they encounter anything too hard for our baby sister." Elijah agreed. "Elijah, I need to uncompel her. I know it is too dangerous but I can't simply take the doppleganger and leave her here and they know who she is. I had some… love making with Caroline and was spotted leaving her home. That's why she was attacked. She needs to know who she is, 'Lijah. I need her in my life." Klaus sighed, covering his face with his hand. Elijah looked into Klaus' eyes. "Niklaus, it isn't safe for Caroline. She is your weakness. After you build your hybrids, we can afford to uncompel her. Don't do it." Klaus sighed, nodding before they both rose, going to the attic to undagger their siblings.
Caroline groaned, opening her eyes to see the soft rays of cool sunshine hiding behind her red satin blinds. She had gotten so hammered last night; she didn't remember anything that had happened. Caroline slowly got dressed in a grey/red "Mystic Falls Timberwolves" t-shirt and black sweatpants, changing out of last night's outfit she had fallen asleep in. She had skipped school that day, and had gotten a ton of texts from Elena and Bonnie, apologizing and asking where she was. It was about 1 o clock, and Caroline decided to call her best friends after they finished school. She wanted to go outside and have a coffee.
On her way to the Grill, she walked inside to see Rebekah sitting at the bar, flirting with the bartender. She smiled, happy to see one of her new best friends, and sat next to Rebekah. The other blond faced Caroline with a genuine smile, and hugged her tight. "I'm so sorry, I had some family business!" Caroline nodded, laughing. "It's okay, Bex. I'm glad you're back." Rebekah ordered a martini while Caroline insisted on a coffee, having been drunk for the past 2 nights.
The two girls laughed and hung out together while Thierry watched from the windows. He made an inaudible sound and called Marcel. "Thierry. Any news?" Marcel asked, his voice deep. Thierry sighed. "Rebekah's back in town at the Grill with Klaus' girl. The baby vamp." Marcel snarled, clearly pissed off. "3 Originals in one town? This girl must be something special." Thierry nodded. "My orders?" He asked. "Keep an eye on her. Don't let Klaus see you. Let me know what happens, and try to vervain her if you get the chance." Marcel commanded, hanging up. Thierry sucked in a breath, pulling a pair of black winter gloves from his jeans, before pulling them on and taking a bag of carefully wrapped toxic vervain from his pockets. He would wait until dark to vervain the 2 girls. He had brought extra for the Original girl. Thierry smirked. He wanted to bring as much misery to Klaus Mikaelson as possible, and kidnapping his sister and girl would deem fit.
It had been a few hours at the bar, and it was getting dark outside. Caroline had refrained from drinking any more than a few cups of coffee and a light martini, while Rebekah had drank a few shots and a martini. Rebekah was stable, and Caroline was very much alert. She had bad experience with being drunk, and she didn't want rogue vamps attacking them because she was with a drunk Original, who probably had many enemies.
Thierry had taken a seat in the bar, pretending to be busy on his laptop while occasionally glancing at the girls. Once Caroline dropped a $100 bill on the table and helped Rebekah out, nodding at Matt briefly before exiting the Grill. Matt saw the vampire go right after them wearing black gloves, and he knew it was trouble. Taking his phone out, he texted Caroline.
Caroline grabbed her phone while supporting Rebekah with one arm, still at the door of the Grill. Thierry silently growled while he watched them, he couldn't attack now. Humans could see. Caroline's eyes popped a bit open at Matt's text.
Matt: Someone's watching you. Pretty sure he's a vampire. Be careful, Care. He was wearing gloves.
Caroline couldn't text back, for she was too busy listening in on things around her. She walked a bit further, making her black and red stilettos click. She sighed, looking at her choice of outfit. She was definitely not prepared for a fight. She was wearing a tight short black skirt that flowed at the bottom and a peachy pink tee with her favourite black leather jacket on top. Caroline put Rebekah in the car, turning the radio up, then whispered to Rebekah. "There's someone following us. Just stay still, I'll take care of it." Rebekah nodded, knowing how old Caroline was, and trusted her. She'd been trained by her brothers, after all. Rebekah nervously stayed in the back seat, while Caroline went and sat in the front. She grabbed her seatbelt and turned the heat up. The cool fall air was freezing. Even undead, she still wanted her car warm and toasty. The air started burning her. Caroline instantly knew that the heater had been filled with vervain, and turned it off quick. She had a tolerance to vervain, and being a hybrid, it hurt her half as much as the average vampire. She heard loud coughing from the back, and turned to see Rebekah's face all fleshy and pink. Caroline felt sympathy for her friend, but knew an attack was coming soon. She grabbed a B-Positive blood bag- her favourite- from her glove box and threw it back to Rebekah, then exited the car.
"Come out, come out, wherever you are" Caroline yelled, spreading her arms wide. Thierry watched from behind a few cars, astounded. How had the baby vampire not passed out? Time for plan B. He threw 2 stakes at full speed, being about 73 years old, he had strength, but not nearly as much as Caroline. She saw the stakes coming from a mile away, and caught them both, her eyes flashing yellow. "You're going to have to do much better than that to kill a hybrid." She growled, fangs close to coming out. Thierry grabbed his last stake and awakened his vampire face, whooshing towards the hybrid. Caroline hit him hard in the face, making him stumble back, before he came back towards her, trying to stake her. Caroline easily grabbed the stake from him, shoving it into his stomach, before she snapped his neck.
Caroline removed the stake from Thierry's body, watching the wound slowly heal, before she reached into his pockets, looking for his phone. She went to recent calls and saw "Marcel" fill up the entire log, except one name… "Katie." Caroline grinned an evil grin, finding leverage. She knelt down and picked up her Prada bag off the floor where it had fallen, before tucking the man's phone into it and getting into her car, finding a sound asleep Bekah. Caroline didn't want to go to school tomorrow, so she drove Rebekah to her house, having no clue where she lived.
Caroline opened the door to her car, parked outside her massive house. She had no clue how she was going to get Rebekah upstairs, but an idea popped into her head. She got out her iPhone, calling Greta, her personal witch. Greta worked in Caroline's home because of Caroline's promise to protect the Martin bloodline- which was the second most powerful witch bloodline, next to the Bennett bloodline, of course. "Hi Greta, can you come lift my friend upstairs? Please come outside!" Greta soon appeared, while Caroline explained to her what she needed her to do. Greta used a levitation spell to lift Rebekah upstairs and to one of the many guest rooms without her waking. Caroline thanked Greta, before opening the trunk. She knew the vampire was awake by now, and she had expected him to speed away, which is precisely what he did. Caroline groaned, mumbling "I hate running" before speeding after him and slamming him against the car door. She smelled vervain and grabbed the bag from his pocket, before shoving some of the crushed flower into his mouth. Thierry screamed in agony before Caroline threw him on the ground and literally dragged his body to her house. Thierry moaned before closing his eyes and letting the not so baby vampire drag him away, knowing it was no use to fight her.
Caroline got Greta to chain up the vampire and get some vervain shots and stakes dipped in vervain ready. She had previously gotten Greta to spell the rooms so you couldn't hear anything unless you were in the room. She sighed before putting on an all black sleek jumper and going downstairs to torture the vampire in her basement. Caroline filled a few shot glasses with blood from one of the many blood bags in her cooler, and opened Thierry's door. There were a few stakes in a bucket full of vervain, a gun with wooden bullets and thick gloves. Thierry's head was hanging down as all four of his arms were chained to the wall. Around his wrists were vervain soaked ropes, and a vervain soaked gag in his mouth.
Caroline smiled, pulling on the gloves and taking the cell phone out of her bra, making him look up. He scowled at her, vampire face showing as he tried to woosh forwards. Caroline smirked, before opening up the phone. "Who's Katie?" She asked, smiling. Thierry spit on the ground, looking up. "I'm not telling you anything, you bitch." "Okay then, your choice." Caroline said, before picking a stake up and shoving it into his lower stomach. "Why were you following me?" She growled. Thierry coughed violently, before giving out.
"Marcel's orders. We knew you were Klaus' girl, and wanted to hurt him." "Why do you guys care about Klaus? He's a normal vampire." Thierry looked at her for a minute, seeing the confusion on her face, before chuckling. "So he hasn't told you who he really is, has he?" Caroline snarled. "What?" Thierry's lips curled into a smirk. "Ever heard of Niklaus Mikaelson?" He asked. Caroline's jaw dropped open.
She had, of course heard of the Original family. Finn, Elijah, Niklaus, Kol and Rebekah. They were famous in the supernatural world. 1,000 year old vampires. Rebekah had introduced herself only by her first name to Caroline, and seeing as that was a common name, Caroline had thought it was spelled the regular way- Rebecca. Thierry smirked at her. "So you had sex with the Original hybrid. Are you two a couple?" Caroline snarled revealing her hybrid face- making Thierry's eyes pop open. She lunged forward, shooting her hand into his chest, wrapping it around his heart. Thierry stared at her in fear. "You live, and you die, by my will. Don't think you're some valuable source that I can't lose." She threatened with her powerful yellow eyes. Caroline took her hand out of his chest, without his heart, and he exhaled in relief as the stunning blonde vampire shot out of the room. She ordered Greta to stand watch with a stake in case Rebekah or any of this Marcel guy's men tried to rescue the man.
Caroline shoved the door to one of her guest rooms open so hard it fell off one of its hinges, making sound asleep Rebekah shoot up. She knew she had slept with one of her brothers, but she didn't care. She knew Rebekah had known about the sex, and that Rebekah was an Original and hadn't told her. "Hey Care, what's the matter?" Rebekah said in a husky voice. Caroline couldn't help it- she lost her temper. Her fiery eyes blazed yellow as she snarled, revealing her long fangs and the jagged veins beneath her eyes. "You know what's the matter? What the fucking matter is, Rebekah, is that our source downstairs claims that YOU and your hot brother that I fucked and the rest of your stupid family are ORIGINALS! And you didn't tell me! Klaus wanted to start a relationship with me, AND HE WAS OKAY WITH LYING TO ME THE WHOLE TIME! I HATE YOU!" Caroline shouted at the top of her lungs. She was beyond angry, and her body showed it. Her hybrid face was on, and her wolf temper was out. She was in an offensive stance, and her body was stiff with clenched fists. Rebekah stood up and got out of the bed. She stammered "Caroline… I can explain-" Caroline cut her off. "I don't want your bullshit explanation. I want you to get the hell out of my house and tell your brother to piss off. I don't date liars." Rebekah stood her ground, about to open her mouth when Caroline grabbed her throat and shoved her against the wall. Rebekah was an Original, but Caroline was a hybrid and had better fighting skills. Rebekah managed to push Caroline back, which resulted in Caroline touching the bracelet on her wrist, letting Greta know she needed her help. Rebekah didn't notice this, and was close to tears. "Caroline, I don't want to hurt you, I just want to explain" she stammered, when Caroline flashed to Rebekah and bit her hard on the neck, making sure as much wolf venom as possible got in her. Caroline knew Rebekah couldn't die from the bite, and that Niklaus was the cure, but Caroline wanted the other blonde to suffer. Tears spilled from Rebekah's baby blue eyes as she held her gaping wound. "Care.." Just then, Greta opened the door and looked to Caroline. Caroline flashed forward snapping Rebekah's neck, then faced the dark haired witch, saying "Please send her to her home, Greta, wherever that is, and tell her and her family there will be consequences if any of them approach us or this house. Make sure they remember it. I'll be returning to bed now, thank you Greta. Also, please set a vampire-free spell on the threshold. Good night." Caroline said. She was beyond tired. Greta nodded, bid Caroline good night and levitated Rebekah's body.
Caroline sighed, changed and went to sleep.
