CHAPTER 12: Calling on the spirits

Three weeks went by and things were relatively normal, all except the weekly phone calls Caroline would recieve from her mystery caller...all ensuring her that they will meet soon. Caroline still didnt know who it was and still kept her family in the dark but today she was meeting with her witches to try and get some information on the new potential threat. She hated being taken by surprise and wanted to make sure to be one step ahead of him. Caroline pulled into the bistro parking lot in the French Quarter that two of her favorite witches in New Orleans owned and practiced from. She glanced around feeling eyes on her...nothing out of the ordinary, so she proceeded into the bistro.

"Caroline" Laci said hugging her warmly "Im glad you came to us dear"

Laci was hundreds of years old but didnt look a day over twenty five, she had long red curls that cascaded down to her waist and emerald green eyes that penetrated into your soul. She practiced Expression, which is how she was able to maintain her youth.

"Well i fear i have no choice you and your daughter are the most powerful witches i know besides myself of course"Caroline said with a cocky smile "I believe there is a new threat to me and my family"

"Lets not waste time then I will go fetch Gwen and meet you in the back office"Laci said "Light some sage so we can speak freely"

Caroline nodded to Laci and made her way to the office, she walked in and lit the sage immediately spelling the room.

A few moments later Laci returned with her daughter who was equally as beautiful as her mother, though she went for a shorter pixie cut and had her father's lavander colored eyes.

"Hello Caroline"Gwen said hugging her "What brings you to us in this manner. Such secrecy" she had a mischevious glint in her eyes, always loving drama and being able to show off her powers.

"I have been recieving phone calls from a blocked number for the past three weeks. Once a week he calls and tells me we will be meeting face to face, that he hopes i am prepared. I havent the faintest idea who this man is...i dont recognize his voice" Caroline said looking down at her feet, she hated being feeling powerless. She was a Queen for christ sake..an IMMORTAL Queen at that..what should she fear?

"Have you tried asking the spirits"Gwen said taking an interest

"Not yet, I have been trying to hide it from Niklaus and the others couldnt exactly form a salt circle in the middle of the livingroom and call upon the spirits for help with something they know nothing about" Caroline said with her smirk back in place "Have you not met my family? The interrogations would be endless"

Both the girls laughed with Caroline knowing exactly what she meant, her family was a bit overbearing at times.

"Well then what are we waiting for?"Laci asked standing and taking both of the girls hands and leading them out back to an abandoned alley that was set up to practice.

Laci took the salt and formed a circle big enough for the three women to sit in as Caroline and Gwen lit candles, Gwen using matches...Caroline cheated with her magic. She was immortal so using her magic didnt wear on her as it did Gwen and Laci. Once everything was in place the girls sat in the middle of the circle and joined hands. They looked at eachother and nodded closing their eyes in concentration and chanting a spell in latin. Moments later it seemed like time froze around them and out of the shadows appeared twelve witches all dressed in different period clothes, all somehow bound to Caroline and the other women. They witches looked at Caroline with admiration and love knowing she was the only one who could truely keep balance in the world of the living.

"What is it that is so important that you call upon us child" The eldest looking witch said to Caroline touching her chin, guiding her up onto her feet so that they were eye level.

"I have a problem" Caroline said "A man is after me, i dont know who he is but he knows me and my family. He is coming i can feel it in my bones and it is something big and bad. I have served the spirits long enough selflessly so now it is your turn to repay me. I need you help, your protection"

The witch laughed "Your quite bold Caroline, demanding things from us like this. Do you not forget that though you are the essence of power as a witch you are also half demon. You are not one of us, but at the same time you are our kind's salvation."

"So you see my point"Caroline said "And do not test me witch, if you do not help me i WILL track down each one of ALL of your descendants and tear their heads off with my bare hands because you are right i am half demon and that half will allow me to do ANYTHING i need to do to protect my family!" she screamed at them, looking each one in the eye...each with looking more petrified than the last, including the eldest.

"No need for the threats Caroline we will help you because whats coming for you is something that no one is prepared for" she said looking Caroline dead in the eye "Silas has found you."

Caroline's heart clenched in her chest at the sound of his name. He was older and stronger than her, being the first vampire/witch hyrbid. There was only him and her in the world and he was dessicated in a tomb until some idiot from Mystic Falls woke him. They hadnt heard anything from him, figuring that he was stirring up a plan. Caroline hadnt thought he would come for her directly.

"Well how do i kill him?"Caroline asked looking at all of them again "Tell me what i need to do"

All the while Laci and Gwen were still on the ground listening in horror, trying to figure out what they could do to be of any assistance against Silas.

"You have to drain him"The witch said "Once he is almost completely drained his power will transfer to you leaving him just a vampire, still old and very strong but with how powerful you will be you shouldnt have a problem. They only problem there is now is how you will get close enough to drain him."

"I can drain someone in under thirty seconds"Caroline said with a cocky laugh that made all of the other witches grimace

"But can you incapacitate him for even thirty seconds Caroline?"the witch said pulling her off her high horse "You underestimate just how powerful he really is. Look in the old grimores and you will find a spell that will put him down but again with how strong he is it may only work for seconds at a time."

"Thats all i will need, thank you"Caroline said stepping out of the circle, effectively cutting that conversation short. Everything went back to normal around them as the spell wore off.

"Looks like we have some research to do girls"Caroline said "I will be back in a few hours when you close and we will find the spell, he is getting closer and closer by the day...im not taking any chances"

Laci and Gwen nodded their heads as Caroline started to leave.

"Watch your back Care"Gwen called after her, not sure if she heard it or not.

Caroline pulled up to their home and made her way in looking around and listening for her family. She heard Kol upstairs playing games with Stefan, Bekah must have been in the shower. She didnt hear Elijah or Katerina, but knew where her husband would be.

Walking into the study she saw him sitting there looking like a greek god. As soon as he heard her come in Niklaus' eyes shot up to his wife.

"Hello love"he said with a smile as she beant down and kissed him lovingly "I trust you had a nice lunch with your friend"

"I did actually, what did you do today?"Caroline asked walking into her closet

Niklaus heard her digging around but didnt ask anything about it figuring she was looking for some piece of clothing hidden in the bottom of the closet.

"Nothing really"Nik said putting his book down and sipping his scotch "Painted a little...tried to figure out what you have been up to, unsuccessfully i might add. You know the soldiers you have really dont budge on secrets around here"

"What?"Caroline schreeched from the closet "You didnt hurt anyone did you?"

"No more than the usual sweetheart, if you would just tell me what you have been up to i wouldnt have to try and beat it out of your friends" Nik said with a evil smirk

Caroline smiled as she found the book she was looking for and emerging from the closet.

"You dont need to beat anyone because nothing is going on Niklaus"Caroline said tyring her best to not get caught lying to him, though she knew he wouldnt give up easily.

"Then what are you doing with that?"Nik said "I havent seen that grimore in ages"

"Well Laci had asked to borrow it so im going to take it to her in a bit but i figured that i would spend some quality time with my nosey husband"Caroline said seductively walking up to him, causing his breathing to hitch a little. Caroline heard his heart beat faster as she trailed her fingers from his chest down to his belt

"Distracting me isnt going to work"Nik said rolling his eyes at her trying to appear as calm as possible, Caroline knew different...she knew just how much she affected him.

"Who said i was distracting you"Caroline said pulling his belt off and unbuckling his pants. She went down on her knees pulling his pants and boxers down at the same time. She ran her hands back up his legs looking at him through her lashes "I was thinking more along the lines of pleasuring you"

Before he could get a word out he was completely in her mouth, earning a loud throaty moan from Niklaus. Her grabbed a handful of her lucious golden hair and held on tight as she bobbed up and down on his manhood. Nik couldnt get enough of her lips on him especially in his most intimate area, her tongue felt like silk gliding across the tip of his dick. He was harder than he could ever remember being and needed her.

Nik pulled her up by her arm and with one hand ripped her dress off of her body.

"Nik that was Prada"Caroline comlained standing there with her hands on her hips in nothing but red lace bra and panties and thigh high stockings. Nik's eyes roamed over her hungrily.

"I will but you twenty more just shut up and kiss me"He said crashing his lips down on hers, while removing her bra. He seperated from her lips only to plant wet kisses down her neck and over her breast.

He took one of her nipples in his mouth, rolling other between his finger tips getting a lovely moan out of Caroline. He reached down and ripped her underwear off only to thrust two of his fingers deeply into her core. She screamed out in pleasure before he could bring his lips back to hers, she was coming undone because of him and that made him even hornier than when she was licking and sucking him.

"I need you Nik"Caroline begged him, her eyes filled with lust...her face starting to change.

Nik growled approvingly at his wife's request flashing them onto the bed and entering her from behind relentlessly. He slammed into her using him vamp speed knowing good and well she could handle it...even encouraged it. They both moaned in pleasure, calling out eachothers names and they found a perfect rythem with one another. Caroline ground her hips into Nik's with every thrust, sensing that his wife was close to the edge he flipped her over licking her neck before biting down. Caroline moaned in pleasure before biting into Nik's shoulder letting his rich powerful blood flow down her throat. After a few more thrusts they both came undone together removing their fangs from eachother and delicately kissing the wounds until they healed up.

Nik looked up from Caroline, still inside of her, after placing a loving kiss on her lips. His queen was beautiful beyond words and he loved her more than his own life, he knew her better than anyone and knew she was hiding something. He saw fear in her eyes and vowed to himself that he would go tomorrow and find out exactly what was going on, for now he would let her think he was off her trail.

After laying in eachother's arms for a while Caroline got up taking Nik's hand and got into the shower where yet again they showed eachother just how much they loved one another. Once they finally made it out of the shower Caroline got dressed in a pain of dark jeans, a red blouse and her leather jacketm throwing on a pair of heels and collecting the grimore.

"Im off to Laci's my love"Caroline said giving Nik a chaste kiss and smiling at him "I will be back in a bit"

"Not soon enough love"he called to her as she made her way out.

Niklaus was curious as to what exactly she was doing with Laci and was sure to find out, first he planned on questioning all of his siblings, daggar in hand. If they knew anything he would get it out of them, so off he went to cause more havoc in the Mikaelson mansion.
