I laid down in the bed, trying to control my breathing. I just fell from the frying pan and into the fire. Great. I knew that Kol wanted something in return and I knew that it would be a bad idea to accept his offer, but I was desperate and needed a solution. So, there you have it. I, Caroline Forbes, was stuck with another Original and was breathing in the smell of new, soft pillow. What? It's not like I could escape. There wasn't a chance. So, I curled up in the bed that retracted from the couch and fell fast asleep from all the events of the past couple of days.
"Caroline, wakey wakey," a voice said from beside me and I sat up in the bed and gasped.
"Holy, shit, Kol," I cussed and then continued,"You scared the daylights out of me." Kol chuckled from beside me and rose from the bed in his ensemble of a black leather jacket and well worn pair of jeans.
"Come on, get up, love," he prodded and then continued,"We got a long day ahead of us." I groaned and covered my face with the pillow and then slowly sat up. I stretched and pulled back the covers. I then hopped out of bed and padded softly to the bathroom where my clothes for today were and just as I was about to close the bathroom door, I heard Kol say,"Oh and don't take long, Caroline. We're going to be late for breakfast." I shut the door and then quickly dressed into the clothes that he laid out for me yesterday. I tore off the pajamas, took a real quick shower, and then slipped on the other clothes. I brushed my hand through my hair a couple of times and then slipped out of the door only to see Kol, sitting on the newly folded couch, smiling.
"Nice shirt," he commented and I rolled my eyes.
"Complimenting your own taste now?" I asked, sarcastically and he laughed.
"Don't be so bitter," he proclaimed and then smiled. "I made breakfast reservations for us at the restaurant down the street."
"Really?" I asked and looked at Kol. "What's the point in that if you know... we're vampires?"
"Well, we can talk business while doing something pleasant and I know that you still enjoy human food. Klaus told me that. In fact, he was going to take you to this restaurant later," Kol gushed out and then stood up and walked to the front door.
"I wouldn't try and run," he said and then sighed,"Rebekah and Klaus are still on the look out, so you'll have better luck and chances with me." I considered this news and nodded. He was right. If I ran, I would be caught anyway.
"Alright. Let's go," I said, anxious to get out of this place. Kol opened the door and said,"Ladies first." I rolled my eyes and walked out.
"You don't have to keep up with the gentleman act," I snickered and he laughed.
"And what man would do that?" Kol teased and I laughed,"A lot." His mouth turned into a hard line at that and he shut the door behind him, locked it and offered me his arm.
"No,thanks," I said and then continued,"Just because I'm thankful for you help, it doesn't mean that I trust you." Kol shrugged and tucked his arm back into his side.
"Some women find it flattering," he pouted and I strode froward in front of him and he used a step to catch up with me. I kept walking pacing and stopped, when I reached the elevator and then pressed the button. I then saw that were stairs to the right of me and I smiled up at Kol.
"Race you!" I exclaimed and then pushed off, flashing down the stairs only to see Kol standing there picking his nails with a satisfied expression.
"Too slow," he snickered and I pouted. He laughed and then took off threw the front door to the hotel. I smiled and took the challenge. I raced out and then was confused as to where he went. I then caught sight of the blur that entered a fancy looking building down the street and I raced down there and when I opened the door, I gasped. It was gorgeous. The restaurant had at least a thousand bright lights strung and fancy tables with white trimmed table clothes that had wine glasses and golden laced menus on top of them. The walls were painted a light green with elaborate white swirls on it. I made a half laugh and snort, when I saw Kol waiting at a table, waggling his fingers at me. I walked human speed over to the table and sat down.
"Wow," I stated and Kol smirked.
"Impressed?" he questioned and I didn't say anything back. I just took it in in silence and then reached for a menu. I pushed it open and then skimmed my eyes over the menu, quickly and knew what I was going to get.
"So, Caroline," Kol started and I raised my eyebrows up in question at him and he continued,"We should probably talk about how your going to repay me for my help." I blinked and then questioned,"Okay... so... What do you want me to do?" That question was answered, when he closed his eyes and smashed his lips against mine and out of the corner of my eyes, I saw a familiar figure. Klaus. Sh... Bast... Fu...
