Chapter 25
A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.
Klaus groaned and opened his eyes to find that he was in an old room. He was strapped down as well he noticed. But what truly had woke him was the pain that he was feeling that was deep in his abdomen. He gritted his teeth; he remembered Sophie stabbing him with Papa Tunde's knife before everything went black. Suddenly he felt someone's touch, the only person that he ever allowed to truly touch him like this or very intimately was Caroline. His eyes flashed to his side to find a familiar looking red head standing there stroking his face now.
"Genevieve." He gasped still from the pain. She smiled at him seductively.
"Oh Klaus, it has been a long time."
Caroline had finished her eggs and bacon, and still felt a pinch of pain in her lower abdomen. But she didn't believe that it was her and Klaus's child that was making her feel that sort of pain. She touched her stomach feeling that it was starting to seem swollen and round. She glanced at Camille who was also munching on some bacon.
"Thank you for the eggs and bacon Camille." Camille nodded.
"No problem Caroline, so does it hurt?" Caroline looked at her confused.
"Does what hurt?" She asked.
"Being pregnant with Klaus's child. I mean I know that it is supernatural. So does it hurt?" She asked again. Caroline shook her head.
"It doesn't hurt, it just feels strange to imagine that you are carrying another human being inside of you." She patted her stomach. "Sometimes though I will feel the baby moving within me. It doesn't hurt but it's a like a sudden sensation runs through you. Like when the baby kicks." Camille nodded.
"When you found out were you scared?" She asked. Caroline thought about this remembering how she had found out the news.
"Yes at first I was. Because it was not common for vampires to procreate. And I never thought that a thousand year old hybrid who might I add has been dead that long could knock another dead vampire up." Caroline explained.
"Do you know what the child will be? I am guessing a hybrid right?" Caroline shrugged.
"I think it might be, but I also feel slightly more powerful if that explains anything. I mean I feel as if the child inside me is powerful but makes me powerful as well." The door opened and Elijah walked inside.
"Elijah," She said standing up noticing him taking off his jacket and turning to Camille.
"Thank you for watching Caroline, Camille. You may go." Camille nodded and walked out the door without another word.
"What's happened?" Caroline asked following Elijah into the study as he started to remove his shirt? Caroline looked at him confused. "Elijah…what are you doing?" She suddenly noticed his bare chest, but also the names that were written on it. She studied him.
"The names it's all a riddle in order to find Klaus and Rebekah." Elijah explained. "Celeste wants us to play her little game in finding them."
"How do you know her again?" She asked.
"It was a long time ago Miss Forbes."
"Caroline." She corrected.
"Miss Caroline I apologize."
"Just Caroline," He nodded. She picked up a pen and notebook on the desk and looked over his chest. She could understand how Elena might be attracted to him now. But even if she found him attractive Caroline saw him as nothing more than an older brother and friend. And he didn't seem much of her type mostly Elena's type really. Besides Caroline loved Klaus…wait did she just think that? She shook her head and decided that it was the fact that she was worried about Klaus that she was over thinking things. She began writing down the names that were written all over Elijah's chest. She came across a name Annie La fler.
"Annie La fler," She said out loud. Elijah dialed Kol's number.
"Kol I need you to go to the village where Annie La fler lived and find out about her." Elijah muttered into the phone.
"I don't think that will be necessary brother, I knew the witch quite well actually." He chuckled. "She was shunned by her family a long time ago and drowned in the lake where you and Celeste had your oh so magical first kiss." Caroline looked at Elijah. Elijah swallowed hard and his hand tightened on the phone. So that's how Elijah knew her, they had once been together, but now she was basically starting a war with the originals. But why? She was pretty sure that Elijah might know the answer to that.
"Kol I think we are going to need a certain friend from the Faction." Elijah murmured.
"I will be sure to find him. Meet you at the bar." He hung up the phone without another word.
"Why someone from the Faction?" Caroline asked. Elijah turned to her.
"Because they have records of every person that had died in the years of Annie La Fler." Elijah explained. "I think it's time Kol and I had a word with one."
"I'm going with you." Caroline said.
"Caroline…"
"No Caroline me. Klaus is in trouble and I want to help. Elijah I am worried about him. Please." Elijah sighed.
"Very well Caroline, but you will stay close to me. And will listen to me. If I think that it is too dangerous for you to be there because let's not forget you are also with child another person then I will take you back to mansion. Is that understood?" She nodded.
"Crystal."
Klaus groaned and grunted as he felt her hand inside of his abdomen trying to rip the blade from him. His hands were gripped in fists, he struggled against his restraints desperate to get out of there and perhaps rip her to shreds. Suddenly he felt the pain gone. He looked up and found that she had removed the knife from him.
"There now isn't that better?" She asked. Klaus noticed that he was now healing and getting his strength back. She moved to remove the restraints as well. Freeing Klaus, and moving to hand him a shirt. Klaus put it on before facing her. "Such a dark and beautiful man. Like the Lucifer in human form." She murmured stroking his face once again. He glared at her before grasping her hand and giving her a look. "Touché," She mused.
"What do you want?" He demanded.
"You." Klaus looked at her like she was crazy. "Oh and for Rebekah to pay of course. Which I am sure that you can do for me." He chuckled and shook his head.
"What makes you think that I will help you get revenge on Rebekah love?" He demanded folding his arms across his chest.
"Oh it's not only my revenge, it's what she did though back in 1919, something to do with your father." Klaus frowned and looked at her. She smirked. "There's a story about love, tragedy and betrayal. You see there were a woman and this man they were in love with one another. But her big brother would not let them be together, I mean he was the king after all so she made friends with a witch that could give her what she wanted in order to be with this man. So they came up with a plan to bring her big bad daddy into their home and kill her big brother so that she could run off into the sunset with her supposed love." Klaus's face started to harden as the words starting to sink in. She smiled. "And you know what happened, she realized that she had made a mistake only when trying to correct it she found out from the witch that it was too late. So she killed the witch. Then when big bad daddy came to town she fled with her brothers but her big brother never knew what she had done. What they had done to him." Klaus shook his head.
"Rebekah would never do that." Genevieve rolled her eyes.
"She can and she did." Genevieve handed him the knife and in a flash he slammed her against the wall raising the blade to her throat.
"What makes you think that I won't kill you now?" He snarls. She smirks.
"Because I was also used like you were Klaus. And now we both want the same thing, so why don't you just do what you wish to do, unleash that anger and darkness. You can kill her now."Klaus studied her for a moment before flashing away to find her. Genevieve smirked. Klaus would kill her, she was going to get her revenge after all.
He cried out in pain, and struggled against the ropes. He glared at the two originals that stood there along with the baby vampire.
"Tell us more about the records, finish the last person written on his skin." Kol muttered. "Where did Clara Summerlin die?"
"She died of the influenza, she worked at the old sanatorium." He exclaimed. Elijah saw the riddle disappear from his skin. He flashed to put his clothes back on.
"Kol take Caroline back to the mansion. I am going to the old sanatorium. Niklaus and Rebekah are there." Caroline wanted to go with him but before she could speak Kol whisked her off back to the mansion. Elijah released the man before flashing to the old sanatorium. When he got there he could already hear Rebekah and Klaus.
"Nik it's a lie! Genevieve is lying!"
"I hear what you are saying sister, but your face tells a different story." Elijah flashed in time to see Marcel standing now in front of Rebekah. He noticed Elijah coming up behind Klaus as he grabbed the knife and stabbed it in him once again.
Caroline cried out in pain as she walked through the door of the mansion. She touched her stomach and Kol was immedictly at her side.
"Are you alright?" He asked. She nodded but felt herself falling into darkness. She heard him cry out her name before arms wrapped around her.
Klaus roared in pain and looked up to find his brother his other sibling and family turn around and betray him.
"Run!" Elijah yelled. Rebekah and Marcel flashed away. Klaus glared at Elijah gritted his teeth.
"You will pay for this…"
