Caroline sat staring at her mom, they had been eating take out lunch and when her mom asked her how the road trip was, she had spilled everything. About New Orleans, the war going on there and about her and Klaus.
"Mom..?" She asked hesitantly, eyeing her mom who sat frozen in her seat, mouth slightly open.
"You and Klaus..." She mumbled out. "I know mom, I know." She breathed out, running a hand through her hair.
"After everything he has done Care." Her mom said. "We've done some bad things towards him as well mom. We aren't all innocent." She pointed out.
"Are you happy?" She suddenly asked, Caroline nodded at her mom. "He makes me feel special. Like I'm the only one in the world for him." Liz nodded at her daughter.
"Then that's what matters, I'm not going to pretend I like him, or your relationship. But as long as you are happy, then I'm happy." She said and gave her daughter a smile. Caroline leaned over the table and hugged her mom. "I love you mom." Liz smiled and hugged her back. "I love you too Caroline." Breaking apart they began to make up for lost time, talking about what had been going on in Mystic Falls for the past 2 weeks.
Kol was walking out from the bar Cami worked in, he enjoyed messing with the blonde bartender. Knowing it pissed off Klaus, cause he was ruining his plans. And it also pissed of Marcel, cause he liked the girl. Scanning the crowds across the street his eyes landed on a man, olive skin,black spiky hair, brown eyes. Where had he seen this guy before? He wondered, and followed after him.
He followed him all the way to Marcel's hideout, watching him enter the house. He still hadn't figured out who the guy was. Then it hit him, he had seen him in one of Carolines dreams. Tyler Lockwood.
Turning around he fished up his phone from his pocket and called Klaus, it went to voice mail. He tried Elijah next, he picked up after 2 rings.
"Kol this better be important."
"Tyler Lockwood is in New Orleans, fetch Nik and meet me back at the mansion." He hurried out and hung up.
"Ah Tyler, I'm glad you could join us." Marcel said and grinned at the boy. Tyler nodded at him and sat down around the table.
"Now, I've called you to this meeting to brief you of some new information we've received. Tyler here has provided us with much valued information regarding Klaus and his family. It seems Klaus cannot be affected by the daggers, due to his werewolf side. We can also not kill him, if Klaus dies his whole bloodline does. But that doesn't mean we can't desiccate him and drop him in the bottom of an ocean. As for his siblings they can be killed with a white oak stake. According to Tyler, Klaus has it. He's had it since he left Mystic Falls."
"Then how will we get to it?" A vampire with blonde hair asked.
"Why I'm glad you asked James, you see I've known Klaus a very long time. And I've never figured out a way to break him, or found a weakness of his. But according to our friend Tyler that has all changed. I met a blonde lovely girl a few days ago with Rebekah Mikaelson, she introduced us, and she called her a friend. It has come to my attention that this girl is involved with Klaus, romantically."
"So?" The blonde vampire asked and eyed his leader.
"So, we grab her and force a trade. Klaus gets the girl and we get the stake." Marcel said a huge grin spreading across his face. The other vampires grinned as well.
"I've already sent a handful of vampires to take them, Thierry is with them. They should be back by the evening." Marcel added, the other vampires nodded.
"Meeting adjourned" The vampires stood up, but Tyler stayed behind. Noticing that he stayed behind Marcel eyed him. "Yes?"
"We made a deal, Caroline is not to come to harm."
"She wont be harmed, I gave you my word and unlike other people I keep it." Marcel said, Tyler nodded at him and moved out of the room.
Klaus had taken him for a fool, he knew there was something going on when Kol out of nowhere started to take an interest in him. Smirking he thought, that'd be his mistake. He had Davina, the witches of New Orleans were nothing compared to her. If it was war Klaus wanted, he certainly got it now.
"Are you sure it was Lockwood?" Klaus asked as he paced back and forth in the living room, casting a glance towards his brother.
"Im sure brother, he is working with Marcel. Which means Marcel probably knows how to kill us, and knows the daggers wont work on you." Kol said, Elijah sat in the arm chair leaning his head against his hand. He was deep in thought, he'd never thought the young Lockwood would betray his friends, but maybe seeing his ex-girlfriend with the man who murdered his mother had been the final push off the edge.
"Brilliant." Klaus muttered. Elijah snapped out of his thoughts. "If he knows about the stake and the daggers, I'm sure he knows about the girls." Klaus froze in his place, turning wide eyed to his brother.
"Caroline.." He whispered out, ready to flash out the door he was stopped by Elijah's voice.
"There's not point in running after her Niklaus, Marcel has probably sent people for her already. We can only hope that Rebekah and the Salvatore's can fend them off."
"Im not putting my faith into Stefan and Damon Salvatore and Bekah to protect Caroline." He hissed. "You have no choice Niklaus. Im just as worried as you are brother, but we need you here. Focused. Call Rebekah, let her know what's coming their way." He said calmly, he watched Klaus slightly relax. Nodding Klaus left the room to call his sister. Elijah turned to Kol.
"How fast can you get to Mystic Falls?" Kol smirked at his brother.
Everyone had gathered at The Grill later that evening. They had smashed some tables together and were now enjoying a meal.
"So you and Klaus, can't say I'm surprised." Matt said and grinned at Caroline, rolling her eyes at her ex, she sent him a smile.
"How did Tyler take it?" He continued, and Caroline froze for a bit. "Not great, he tried to bite me." Matt looked at her.
"Oh, I didn't think he'd take it so bad." Caroline shrugged and smiled at him. "It's alright, Stefan came and saved me." She said smiling down at him. Stefan returned the smile and continued his conversation with Rebekah.
"Is it just me who finds this weird? How we are suddenly buddy buddy with the Originals?" Damon asked and sipped his scotch. Everyone looked at him. "Well, everyone aren't buddy buddy with them, but I'll accept them if it brings peace to this town." Jeremy said. Damon rolled his eyes.
"You are just saying that cause your sister is basically banging one." Elena's mouth hit the floor.
"Damon!" The tabled cried out, Damon rolled his eyes and downed the scotch. "It's true, that's why she decided to leave me and Stefan. However Stefan isn't really complaining, he got Barbie vampire now." He continued and pointed between Stefan and Rebekah.
"That's enough Damon." Stefan said in a serious tone, sending a glare to his brother. Scoffing Damon stood up and left for the bar.
"Im sorry Elena.." Stefan began but Elena shook her head. "Its not your fault Stef, I knew he'd be like this. He'll come around." She said and sent him a small smile. Suddenly Rebekahs phone began to ring, she excused herself to answer it. Returning to the table she took an extra glance around the bar. Seeing no new addition of people she sat down and started talking to Stefan again.
The evening went on, and Damon had re-joined them again. He sent everyone snarky comments from time to time, but was mostly chatting with Jeremy. After another hour at The Grill they said their goodbyes to Matt and Jeremy, who had decided to go home to Matt's to play some games.
Standing outside of The Grill, they noticed a group of men standing across the street watching them.
"I don't recognize them, they must be new." Caroline said, turning around as the door to The Grill opened. Rebekah stepped out with Stefan, they were smiling at each other. Rebekah turned her gaze towards her new friends and her smile faltered as she saw the group of men across the street. Immediately she recognized Thierry, and after that everything happened in a flash. She grabbed Caroline and Elena and shoved them into Bonnie. "Take them and run, don't stop."
Stefan and Damon saw one of the men from the group flash towards them. Stefan reacted and flashed as well, he emerged in front of the vampire, watching his body drop to the ground, his heart in his hand.
Bonnie quickly grabbed Elena and Caroline and they made a run for it. Thierry nodded for some of the vampires to follow after the running girls.
"Don't harm the blonde, Marcel wants her alive." He ordered, and watched as a few vampires flashed away.
"Shall we?" He asked and eyed Rebekah, her eyes turned red and the veins under her eyes became visible. Smirking Thierry nodded for the men to attack, he watched as they battled each other. Rebekah might look like a precious doll, but she was just like her brothers in the fighting department. Sending them one more glance he flashed away, he just needed them to distract the stronger vampires. That way he could grab the blonde girl and be on his way.
He heard a scream, he flashed and what he saw shocked him.
"Why hello there mate." Before him stood Kol Mikaelson, blood running from his mouth and a wicked grin on his face.
The girls were running, turning into an alley Bonnie stopped to catch her breath.
"I can't run anymore." She gasped out, bending over. Nodding Caroline looked around the alley, she saw a chair in one of the garbage container, ripping 2 legs off she threw one to Elena.
"Only one way we are getting out of this." She said, Elena grabbed Bonnie and pulled her behind them.
"When they turn up I want you to use aneurysm" Caroline said and glanced at her friend, Bonnie nodded and prepared herself. The vampires turned the corner, wicked grins all over their faces. There was 5 of them, all of them probably 100 years or older. "Now Bonnie." Caroline cried out, and Bonnie squinted her eyes and focused on the group of vampires. Seeing them go down Elena and Caroline quickly flashed over to them. Caroline lifted one of the men half up and stabbed him in the heart with the wooden leg, dropping him quickly to the ground she went for the next one. Elena proceeded to do the same, until they heard a scream coming from Bonnie. Another vampire had sneaked up behind her, and was draining her from blood.
"Bonnie!" They both screamed out, the 2 remaining vampires grabbed a hold of the girls, Elena and Caroline tried to fight them off. The vampire draining Bonnie suddenly stilled, Caroline and Elena felt the vampires hold on them loosen, looking over to their friend they saw a familiar face.
"Kol.." they breathed out, Kol was holding the vampires heart a wide grin on his face. "Missed me darlings?" He then flashed over to Elena and ripped the vampires head off. Moving onto the one who had held Caroline he sunk his teeth into the mans neck, the man let out a loud scream before Kol ripped his heart out. The man dropped to the ground as Kol dropped his heart. The girls ran over to Bonnie, Elena held her up as Caroline bit into her wrist forcing her blood down Bonnies throat.
"Come on Bonnie, drink." Caroline whispered. They heard Kol speak.
"Why hello there mate." And they saw another vampire standing in front of him, Caroline recognized the man from the group of men from before. The man took one look at Kol and flashed away.
Kol quickly turned around, eyeing them. "Are you alright? Will she be alright?" Caroline nodded. "You should go find Rebekah,Stefan and Damon. They'll probably need your help." Elena said, Kol nodded and flashed off.
"We should get somewhere safe." Elena then said and looked at Caroline. She nodded.
"Your place or mine?"
"Mine, Kol is already invited in there." Caroline nodded and together they lifted Bonnie and made their way to the Gilbert household.
Klaus paced back and forth, he was furious with Elijah. He had sent Kol to Mystic Falls for back up.
"Niklaus, stop pacing you'll ruin the floor." Elijah said and eyed his brother.
"You sent Kol as back up. Why couldn't I go?"
"Because you are needed here, we need to make a plan of attack." Klaus scoffed and sat down on the couch.
"I know you worry about Caroline, but she will be fine. Have some faith in your siblings." Elijah said and looked at his brother. Klaus let out a sigh as he ran his hand through his hair.
"If Caroline has so much as a scratch on her, I'm putting Marcel's head on a spike." He bit out.
"And what about your promise to our sister?"
"To hell with that." Elijah chuckled, Klaus sent him a glare. "What's so amusing brother?"
"The fact that you care so much for this girl that you are willing to go back on your word." Klaus rolled his eyes.
"Aren't you worried about your precious Elena?" Klaus shot back to him, watching as his brother stilled and the smile on his face drop.
"I have no idea what you are talking about brother, but I do worry about Elena. In a friendly way." Klaus grinned at his brother.
"Oh so you don't "wish you could kiss those soft pink lips of hers, to feel her smooth skin against your hands." Elijah shot up lunging for his brother, Klaus flashed away and stood by the doorway a gigantic smirk across his face.
"That's what I thought." Elijah scoffed at him and regained his composure. "I do not like it when you read my journals Niklaus. It is rude and you are invading my privacy."
"Oh but I didn't read it, Kol did. And he had a great laugh about it as well. I suggest you hide it better next time." Klaus said, just then his phone vibrated. Fishing it up from his pocket he read the message.
Made it in time, everyone is safe -K
"Looks like our younger brother made it in time, everyone seems to be alright." Elijah gave him a nod.
"So, shall we get planning?" Elijah asked and motioned for them to move to Klaus' study.
"You go ahead, I need to make a call." Klaus said and disappeared into the kitchen. Elijah shook his head a small smile on his lips. Of course he needed to call Caroline, to make sure she was alright, he thought.
Rebekah,Stefan,Damon and Kol showed up at the Gilbert house, covered in blood. Elena quickly let them inside.
"Are they all dead?" She quickly asked and eyed them all, Stefan nodded.
"Who were they?" Damon asked and made his way to the kitchen to clean himself off.
"They are vampires from New Orleans, Klaus is at war with his prodigy Marcel. Marcel found out about Caroline and sent a group of vampires here to capture her. Hoping to trade her for the white oak stake." Kol explained and flopped down onto the couch.
"How did he find out about Caroline?" Kol eyed the younger Salvatore. "Tyler Lockwood." He simply said, as Elena got him off the couch and into the kitchen to wash himself off.
"No, Tyler might be mad at Caroline for being with Klaus but he wouldn't put her in danger like that." Stefan said, following after Elena and Kol.
"He wouldn't?" Damon asked and raised an eyebrow at his brother. "Imagine if your ex girlfriend, who you intended to get back lets you know she's involved with the man who not only killed your mom, but also tortured and killed most of your friends. I'd go a bit mad then as well." Everyone looked at Damon.
"Damon is right, Tyler might just of gone off the edge. But he still loves her, maybe he struck a deal with Marcel." Rebekah said, and looked around the room.
"That makes more sense, Marcel probably never intended on turning Caroline over to Klaus. But to give her to Tyler once Klaus handed him the white oak stake." Stefan said, and everyone in the room nodded.
"Speaking about Blondie, where is she?" Damon asked and looked around for her. "Klaus called, she's in my room talking to him, watching over Bonnie." Elena said. Everyone nodded, and silence filled the room.
"So I'm guessing we will be going to New Orleans earlier than expected?" Elena asked and eyed Kol.
"Indeed we are." He said back and flashed her a grin.
"Klaus I'm fine, there's no need for you to go on a killing spree." Caroline sighed out. She liked that he was ready to kill for her and all, but his overprotectiveness was getting a tad annoying.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes" She heard him breath out.
"You worried about me, didn't you?" She asked teasingly.
"Caroline.."
"Oh come on, just admit it!" she cried out.
"Yes Caroline, I worried. I was ready to run to Mystic Falls myself, but my brother didn't feel the same. That's why he sent Kol."
"Well, Kol came in right time. Without him, me and Elena would of probably been dead or captured. And Bonnie would've been dead." She whispered out.
"You are not going to die anytime soon love, I wont allow it." She smiled at his words.
"After all this is done, you are so taking me to Europe or some beach where we can relax and not worry about anything." Caroline said. Klaus let out a chuckle.
"I believe I promised to show you Rome,Paris and Tokyo. But we can go wherever you want to go sweetheart. Just pick a place and we'll be there."
Hearing a slight knock on the door she found Elena and Rebekah there, she gave them a small smile and gestured for them to enter.
"Elena and Rebekah are here, ill call you tomorrow. ok?"
"Talk to you soon love." Grinning she hung up. Turning her attention to her friends.
"She still hasn't woken up?" Elena asked and sat down on the other side of Bonnie. Caroline shook her head. Elena let out a sigh and brushed some of Bonnies hair away from her face.
"We will be leaving for New Orleans tomorrow." Rebekah informed Caroline, who nodded at her. "Kol will be going with you to pack, then bring you back here. We're spending the night here."
"Alright." Caroline said and stood up. Making her way downstairs, she found Kol standing by the stairs waiting for her.
"Ready to leave darling?" He asked and sent her a charming smile, Caroline rolled her eyes at him and grabbed her jacket opening the door. Kol followed after her and shut the door behind him.
A lot of action going on in this chapter! Hopefully this made up for the short chapter i posted before! Thoughts? /Scars
