Chapter 14: The Murderer

Indian Ocean 1615

Caroline giggled as she felt his wet hot tongue slowly slide up her thigh. She opened her legs up wider wanting to feel more of the sensation. She felt the cool air hit the wet trail he'd left on her leg and then she felt the delightful sensation of his fangs piercing her inner thigh where the major vein ran. She shifted her hips to get closer to his fangs loving the feelings that were coursing through her.

"Nik." She moaned wishing that she didn't have a blindfold on so she could see what he was doing.

She heard him continue to drink her blood and she couldn't deny how aroused she was. Suddenly there was a knock on the door jilting Klaus out between Caroline's thighs. Caroline moaned from the lack of pleasure and Klaus placed a comforting hand on her leg.

"What?" Klaus barked annoyed at having been interrupted.

"We found the island." A reply came from the other side of the door. Caroline heard shifting around and knew that Klaus was getting off the small bed they shared in the Captain's cabin.

"Where are you going?" Caroline demanded irritated that he was leaving her tied to the bed, blindfolded and deeply aroused.

"We've been looking for this island for almost a year Caroline, I want to go see if it's truly the one we've been looking for." Klaus said going to untie her blindfold. When he took the cloth off he wasn't surprised to see her glaring daggers at him.

"What?" he snapped annoyed that she was angry with him.

"You're leaving me? Seriously? Like this?" she asked angrily.

He smirked at her, "I'll be back. You can stay tied to the bed waiting for me if you'd like." He said smugly.

She glowered at him and he reluctantly began to untie the rope wrapped around her wrists and ankles. Then he got up and left the room without a second glance.

Caroline angrily got out of the bed and began to put her gown on frustrated and angry both sexually and mentally. She wished that they could have one fucking night to themselves where they weren't interrupted by some dumb problem that was happening aboard the pirate ship that Klaus had lovingly named the Karolina. A nod to her and his love he claimed for her.

The first few years being vampire pirates weren't as bad as she had anticipated, Rebekah and Elijah had enjoyed themselves from the getgo however. Elijah was playing the first mate and generally took over whenever Klaus got out of control. Elijah of course loved being in charge and was very good at finding treasure so the first few years it only took them a little while before becoming even richer from the mass amounts of gold and jewels they discovered.

Rebekah of course fell in love with not one pirate but three. Which really resulted in many problems since they continuously fought over her. This would only happen to Rebekah. The first she was just using for a sex toy, the second she love, and the third claimed to be in love with her. In true fashion they were all friends, creating not only a love triangle, but a love square. Something Caroline really couldn't fathom.

Klaus loved sailing the high seas of course, he was in charge, had an army and got to order people around it was his very own wet dream. Caroline had eventually warmed up to the idea of being a pirate and was now rich on her own, but she was ready to move on to something new. Klaus had of course become obsessed with the whole pirate idea, much like he did everything.

Caroline was growing bored with it. She just wanted to be with Klaus without the constant interruptions. She didn't want to deal with the other pirates taking more of Klaus's time than she was. She felt pushed to the background and she was sick of it, this was the last straw. At least that's what she kept telling herself. But she knew she wouldn't leave him, not again. Although she wasn't enjoying acting like a pirate anymore she wouldn't leave the man she loved. She had vowed to herself a long time ago that she wouldn't, besides she really couldn't. She loved him and he loved her.

She felt much like she had when she was a human and he was too busy trying to break the curse to really be bothered with her. She realized with a twist in her stomach that she was jealous of others spending time with him when she couldn't. Everyone got to spend more time with her lover, Elijah, Rebekah, the pirates, and she was jealous of that. She wanted him to herself at the very least to satisfy her sexual urges, the ones he had been neglecting for the past few months since he had been obsessed with finding this island. Apparently the island had some all powerful witch that might be able to break his curse without the need of the doppleganger. Of course, the fucking doppelganger everything came back to her and that stupid curse his mother put on him.

Caroline, sexually frustrated and angry left the cabin and went to the deck. She could see the island in the distance and she saw a small fleet of boats rowing to the island shore. She could see Klaus in the lead with a telescope, for show of course. He took the whole pirate thing too seriously, they had even picked up a talking parrot in Tortuga. He wore a white tunic that showed off the various necklaces he wore, some of which she had given him and leather trousers with boots, she wouldn't deny he wasn't sexy dressed as a pirate, but she couldn't think about how good he looked when she couldn't even have a nice romp with him.

She looked around the deck to see the various pirates left along with Rebekah who was flirting with one of her many pirate suitors. Caroline didn't feel much like bothering her so she went down to the kitchen to talk with the cook.

One of the enjoyments of being a pirate was that she got to meet so many different people. They had recently picked up a few new pirates from one of their many stops on one of the main lands. One of the new men they had picked up was the cook for the ship and Caroline had instantly liked him.

His name was Louis and he was an excellent cook. When Klaus was busy Caroline had taken to spending a majority of the time with him in the kitchen learning how to cook. It was nice because he was French and she got to speak her native tongue with him. He was also a cook in the king's court so he knew what he was doing. She was learning a lot from him and couldn't help but take advantage of the company.

With Klaus busy trying to find another way to break the curse, Elijah taking over the ship, and Rebekah playing with the other pirates she didn't have a lot of options of people to open up to. She knew that Kol was coming aboard the next place they stopped after the island mission, but she and Kol never had a lot in common other than him flirting with her. She knew he was bringing a witch aboard as well though to help them in the search for the doppleganger or trying to keep them safe from Mikael, she wasn't sure at this point. She had stopped paying attention long ago to issues that seemed to revolve around each other.

"Miss Caroline! How nice to see you!" Louis said smiling at her.

Louis was a tall brunette man with tan skin and bright brown eyes. He was always smiling at her and treating her nicely. She had caught him several times staring at her, but she always thought he was just very friendly to her. But sometimes she wondered if he had stronger feelings towards her, she tried not to think about it since she had very few actual friends and she didn't want to make more out of the friendship than it was. She had only known him for half a year and she liked his friendship, she didn't want to ruin it. He was a nice enough young man.

She smiled tightly back and went to go stand in the kitchen with him. She saw he was stirring a soup like liquid and she was silently glad that all she needed to do was feed from the vein and she would be nice and full. Although she really liked to eat human food most of the time, some of the food they made on the pirate ship was revolting.

"It's nice to see you as well, Sir Louis." Caroline said smiling brightly at him. She picked up a knife and began to cut some vegetable they had picked up the last time they had stopped to refuel on supplies.

"I heard Lord Klaus has found what he is looking for." Louis said stirring the liquid.

Caroline nodded absentmindedly, "yes let us hope." She said sighing as she cut the vegetables.

Louis looked at her from the corner of his eye concerned by her lack of enthusiasm. "What is the matter, Miss Caroline?"

"Hm? What? Oh nothing…just…I feel…" she stuttered not sure if she should really be talking to Louis about her issues.

"What is it, miss?" he asked putting the spoon on the counter.

She looked over at him and sighed not knowing how to phrase her issue. "It's just…I wanted alone time with Nik and he is too busy with this mission of his." She said shrugging sadly.

Louis reached out a comforting hand and placed it on her shoulder wanting to sooth her worries away. "I'm sure it will be better once he has discovered the treasure." He said rubbing a hand up and down her arm.

She looked over at him with raised eyebrows, "I suppose." She said going back to cutting the food. She knew though that it was a lie, Klaus wasn't going to be satisfied until he was a hybrid and the most powerful creature in the world, that she knew for sure.

"Is there anything I can do to help, miss?" Louis asked gently touching her shoulder.

She stiffened under his touch and looked over at him curiously. She looked into his eyes and narrowed hers when she saw the emotions reflecting back at her. She recognized them as the same feelings that Nik's eyes held and to see them in another man's eyes made her feel very uncomfortable. Not even Christopher her fiancé from years previously held those emotions. She felt her stomach turn in unease and she silently chastised herself for not realizing that Louis had feelings for her sooner.

"Are you alright, miss, you look pale?" Louis asked coming closer to her.

Caroline nodded eagerly, "Yes, I'm fine. I just…I think I should go lay down." She stuttered dropping the knife and going upstairs back into her quarters to wait for Nik to get back. She knew she couldn't tell Nik about Louis crush, he would kill him without a second thought. She fretted for her friend's life as she waited for him to get back from his mission.

It was getting close to dark and the boats still were not back yet. Caroline was laying in bed writing in her diary as she had started to do to remember her times all around the world. She was trying not to think of Louis and his feelings towards her when there was a knock on the door. She opened the door tentatively and was unpleasantly surprised to find that it was Louis on the other side. She shuffled her feet nervously and tried to smile at her friend.

"Is something the matter, Louis?" she asked trying to remain calm. She kept thinking about Nik coming back and finding another man with her in their chambers. Nik had always been a possessive man and since she had run away and they had gotten back together he had just gotten worse.

"I just came to speak with you." he said twisting his cap in his hands.

"Alright." Caroline said awkwardly.

He motioned inside her cabin, "can we go in there? It's a private matter I'd like to speak of." He said blushing.

She sighed and moved aside against her better judgment, she figured if it was already dark outside the fleet of boats would be staying on the island for the night. Hopefully Nik wouldn't be returning anytime soon, she thought anxiously.

"So what's the matter?" she asked going to sit on a chair and gesturing for him to do the same.

"I have been thinking about our conversation earlier, about your problems with the captain." He said staring at her.

She looked away not liking the emotion in his eyes. "yes?" she prompted shifting uncomfortably and silently cursing herself for being too nice.

"Please allow me to speak boldly, miss." He said shifting closer to her. She shifted away from him and cocked her head hoping that he wasn't going to say what she thought he was.

"yes?" she asked again.

He twisted his cap in his hands and looked away turning a brilliant shade of red. "I want you to know that since coming aboard the Karolina I have thought of nothing but you. I know you are with the captain, but it seems that he makes you unhappy. I think that we should leave together, we are stopping next in Madrid and I have family who—" he began to say.

Caroline shook her head violently not even entertaining the possibility. "No, Louis. I love Nik. Nik is my life. I can't leave him." She said quietly gazing at the young man before her.

"But he doesn't treat you right! I have seen how he treats you for the last six months! We could have a life together, Caroline! I love you." Louis said.

Caroline gazed at him through narrowed eyes, "please don't say that. Nik treats me amazingly. I love him. He's just…he's looking for something. He becomes obsessive sometimes and he concentrates on it. He doesn't treat me badly, Louis. I am sorry but I cannot accept your offer and if you know what's good for you I'd try to stop feeling that way towards me. I value your friendship and that's all we can be." She said wanting to end the conversation. She got up and began to walk towards the door. But Louis's hand shot out and grabbed her arm stopping her.

"Please Caroline! I love you." Louis said desperately.

Caroline looked down at him with wide eyes and opened her mouth to respond when another voice interrupted them.

"What is going on here?" Klaus asked his voice dangerously low.

Caroline's head shot to him standing in the door and her eyes widened even more. His expression was one of pure anger, she had never seen him in such a rage, not even with Katerina. His eyes were narrowed to slits trained on Louis, his mouth in a straight dangerous line, and his posture stiff ready to attack. Caroline yanked her arm out of Louis's grasp and rushed to Klaus.

"Louis was just—" she began to say but was cut off by Klaus turning to her with a glare.

"I was talking to the cook. Cook stand up." Klaus barked anger rolling off of him in waves.

Caroline stood at the door as Klaus came closer into the room. She was nervous for her friend and wasn't sure what Klaus was planning on doing. Louis stood up slowly and looked over at Caroline.

"Do not look at her." Klaus said his voice laced in rage.

"But I—" Louis began.

"What were you doing with my woman?" Klaus snarled grabbing Louis face as his eyes flickered to Caroline's figure by the door.

"I was not doing anything with her." Louis said quietly.

"Nik it's true." Caroline said looking at her lover's back.

"Shut it, Caroline! I'll deal with you later." Klaus snapped squeezing the cook's face with his hand.

The cook yelped and tried to get out of his grasp.

"What were you doing in here?" Klaus compelled him looking him straight in the eye.

"I was asking her to run away with me." He said robotically.

Klaus through him on the floor in disgust and then looked over Caroline who was glaring at him.

"What is the meaning of this?" Klaus demanded looking at her.

She glowered at him, "he's my friend, Nik! He's the only one I can talk to on this stupid ship." She yelled angrily. "Don't kill him." She added.

Klaus smirked at her, "kill him? Believe me I'm going to do much worse." He said walking to her.

She backed up against the wall looking at him with wide eyes, "please Nik! I would never run away with him you have to believe me!" she said looking into his eyes.

He looked down at her watching her every move. "He has feelings for you?" he asked menacingly.

She nodded reluctantly, "yes, I just thought we were friends." She said quietly.

"Would you have acted on them?" Klaus asked gripping her by the shoulders.

Caroline scoffed, "no I love you. I only love you. I had asked him to leave but he wouldn't. He thought I was miserable." She said.

"Are you?" Klaus asked.

She shrugged avoiding his gaze.

"Are you?" Klaus asked asked.

She nodded again hesitantly.

Klaus sighed irritated and let go of her shoulders. He walked over to the cook who was staring at them wide eyed. Klaus picked the man up by his throat and then tore into the tender skin there drinking his blood until there was none left. He then dropped the man to the floor and turned to Caroline who looked at him with anger in her eyes.

"You didn't have to kill him." She said crossing her arms.

"I did. He said he loved you and you, my love, are only mine." He said possessively.

She huffed and turned away angry at him for killing her only friend and being such a typical jealous man. Inwardly she knew once Louis had developed feelings for her he was a dead man, but she wanted to stay positive.

"Always has to be the Alpha male." Caroline said irritated.

Klaus chuckled, "of course." He said before turning her head to bring their lips together. Despite feeling angry at him earlier Caroline let herself fall into the kiss loving the feeling of his lips on hers. He pulled away reluctantly and tilted her face up to his.

"Are you really unhappy, sweetheart?" he asked quietly.

She nodded slowly, "I want to settle down somewhere." She said sadly.

"I know but with Mikael and—"

"I know, I know. But when Mikael's taken care of and your curse broken can we settle down then?" she asked hopefully.

He chuckled and brought her lips down to his again, "of course, my love. For now though we can move on from being pirates. I didn't find what I was looking for, but Kol says there might be some leads in Madrid. I think we retire the pirate act." Klaus said kissing her again.

"What are we going to do with the pirates?" she asked curiously as his lips trailed down her throat.

He picked her up and tossed her onto the bed ignoring her question. He went to open the bodice of her dress and she pulled him down to kiss him again delighted that her sexual urges would be taken care of, but her sight caught when she saw her dead friend.

"Can you please get rid of him?" she asked nodding over at the dead body of Louis.

Klaus nodded reluctantly and got off her to drag the body out into the hall. When he came back in he smirked when he found her naked body waiting for him. He hurriedly discarded his clothes and crawled onto the small bed with her. She pulled him down by his necklaces and opened her legs so he could settle in between them. She kissed him hard on the mouth wanting to feel the passion down to her toes.

His tongue caressed hers and she curled her toes wanting more of him. She flipped them over without warning and smirked down at him enjoying him below her for once. He rolled his eyes as she leaned down to kiss him on the mouth again and slowly she descended on his body her lips assaulting all the skin she could find. She slowly made her way down his body licking and nipping the skin as her fingers curled around the hardening length. She began to gently massage him enjoying the feeling of him hardening in her hand. She slowly came back up to his mouth and kissed him hard on the mouth. He captured her face in his hands and gently stroked.

"You are mine." He said possessively before flipping them again so he could be on top.

She rolled her eyes and let him take control knowing that's what he needed for the moment.

"Say it." He said nipping lightly at her throat and letting his lips explore her chest. She gasped as his teeth devoured each breast one at a time and she arched her back wanting to feel more.

"Say it." He growled looking up at her.

She smirked down at him and wrapped her legs around his waist.

"Caroline." He snapped looking at her lust clouding his eyes.

"I am yours." She said heavily as he thrust into her. She gasped and her eyes widened as he went as deep inside her as he could.

"Say it again." He growled thrusting in and out of her. She wrapped her arms around him and dug her nails into his back as she began to follow his lead.

"I'm yours." She said breathlessly as he filled her to the brim and then pulled out before pushing his hard length back inside her.

"Again." He demanded as her nails dug into his back and his hands made bruises along her skin.

"I'm yours." She cried as she felt her orgasm building.

"Again." He roared as he pulled out and pushed back inside.

"Yours." She screamed as her orgasm hit her full on and making her walls clamp around his dick. He came not long after she did and he lay on top of her enjoying the closeness neither of them had felt in quite some time.

"I love you, Nik." She said quietly as she began to drift off to sleep.

"As I you." he murmured watching her drift off. As she went to sleep he quietly slide out of bed and put on his trousers knowing there was work to be done.

Hours later as Caroline awoke to screams she knew what the answer to her question had been from earlier. What would happen to the pirates she had asked Nik. As the screams tore through the ocean night and chilled Caroline to the bone, she knew the answer.

They were to be dead.
