It Runs In The Family
Kol closed the door, and looked at Cara confused. 'You forgave him? Just like that?'
Cara rolled her eyes. 'Did you not hear what I said? I haven't forgotten yet. This might be forgiven, but if he screws up one more time, he's done. Then this counts again.'
Kol just stared at her in confusion. He didn't really understood women and their mind games. He decided to just go with it. 'If you say so, darling,' he smirked.
Cara shook her head and took off her shirt. Before she could pick up her pajama shirt, Kol was standing in front of her, grinning.
'So where did we leave off?'
Cara whacked him in the chest, playfully. 'We left off at the perfect moment. Now I am changing, I'm tired. I know it's early, but I am sure you will find some company with your brothers? I am sure they'd like to catch up with you or something.' Cara smiled at Kol and looked around for her shirt. Oh. Right. This wasn't her room. Go Cara.
Kol realized this as well, and raised an eyebrow at her, while giving her his best smirk. If she would go for her shirt back, he would pick it up first.
Cara saw the gleam in Kol's eyes, and knew she would never get her shirt back. So she smirked back at him, turned around and opened the door.
Kol just stood there, his mouth slightly open, astounded by Cara once again. There she went, just in her jeans and bra, crossing the hallway.
He ran after her, and closed her door behind them. 'What if Nik or Elijah saw you?' he hissed.
Cara shrugged, she sure would have loved that to happen. 'Then they would have seen me.' She rolled her eyes at his disgusted face. 'Don't be like that! It's not like you would have given me my shirt back. It's your fault really,' she said nonchalantly while pulling her pajama shirt over her head.
She changed her jeans into her sweats, she seriously needed to thank Damon for picking those up for her. If he ever called… She shook away the thought, and reveled in the soft and warmness of the pants.
She tilted her head at Kol. 'Well… Weren't you going to spend time with your brothers?'
Kol was trying to find something snarky to say, when he got pushed out of the room.
Cara kissed him on the cheek, told him goodnight, and closed the door. She didn't bother to lock it. He would be able to open it anyway. She heard him give a soft chuckle before he walked away.
She was definitely something, Kol thought. Pushing him out of the room. He had killed for less. Even though he wanted to spend more time with Cara, she was right. He had to spend more time with his brothers. He walked down the stairs, already hearing his brothers. They were talking about something. It sounded important. Well, maybe he could help shine some light on it?
'Elijah, we need to talk,' Klaus said, while walking into the leaving room, grabbing Elijah's book out of his hands.
'Do we now?' Elijah asked, slightly irritated.
'We do. It's about Cara.'
Elijah raised his eyebrows. 'Didn't she accept your apology?'
'She did, but I wanted to talk to her about what she told you, but Kol was there.'
Elijah just stared at Klaus with a blank expression. 'Please enlighten me?'
'Cara talked to you about her past today. I overheard you, and normally I would feel bad about that, but this time I don't. But,-'
'You eavesdropped? Niklaus, that is low, even for you,' Elijah interrupted his brother. 'You were not supposed to hear that!'
Klaus shrugged. 'I know, but I do know now. And I don't want anything like that to ever happen again, and I wanted her to know that. But Kol was there, and since she specifically asked you not to tell him, I didn't think I should be the one to break the news to him.'
'What news?' Kol asked, while stepping into the room. His brothers looked at him as if he had just caught them stealing candy.
'What didn't Cara want me to know?' Kol was awfully calm. He wasn't going to ask her what she had talked about with Elijah, but if his brothers were so worked up over it, it had to be something bad. Or at least important. He wanted to know.
'Cara talked about her past to me,' Elijah sighed. 'I won't go into details, since I promised her I wouldn't.'
Kol immediately got the importance of that promise. He turned around and faced Klaus. 'You didn't. You weren't even supposed to know in the first place. You could tell me.'
Klaus held his hands up. 'She didn't want you to know, so I won't tell you.'
Kol started to feel anger rising up. Why was Cara so set on keeping him in the dark?
'She told you why she cares about opinions of others?' Kol asked Elijah, trying to fill in the puzzle.
Elijah nodded. 'Amongst other things.'
'Then I need to know!' Kol exclaimed. 'If I don't know what makes her angry, or what makes her feel insecure, how can I avoid making her feel like that?'
Elijah shook his head. 'I don't know… I guess you should really talk to Cara about this, Kol.' He gave his little brother an apologetic smile.
'But she won't tell me!' Kol felt his anger get the better of him, and he thought it would be best if he would just leave for now. He let out a final growl and sped out, slamming the door on his way out.
Cara was dozing off pretty fast, liking the way that little moment between stages felt, when she heard yelling coming from downstairs, followed by a door being slammed shut. She expected Kol to come up, but she heard nothing. Which probably meant he was the one that just left.
Quickly she got up, put on a robe, and rushed down the stairs. When she practically ran into the living room, she crashed into Klaus.
'Slow down, love, don't want to get hurt, do you?' Klaus smiled.
Cara instantly noticed that his smile was off. Something was wrong. She instantly got worried.
'Where's Kol?' she demanded, putting her hands to her sides.
'Come sit down, Cara,' Elijah's soothing voice came from the couch.
Reluctantly she walked over and sat down. She looked at Elijah, her question still in her eyes.
'We don't know where he went, but it's a good thing he left. He is just blowing off steam.'
'Blowing off steam? What does he need to do that for?'
Elijah took a deep breath, and looked Cara straight into the eyes. 'We wouldn't tell him what you told me about your past. He was pretty upset. You really should tell him Cara… He doesn't want to hurt you and I hate to say this, but Kol was right… He doesn't want you to hurt, but he can't know how to prevent that if you won't tell him what hurts you.'
Cara nodded. 'I know, and I was going to tell him, when I was ready. I needed to feel safe first. I still feel scared. Not of you,' she quickly added, 'it's just still weird to be here.'
She got sympathetic smiles from Elijah and Klaus and that's when it hit her.
'By the way, what do you mean, WE wouldn't tell him? HE knows?' she pointed her finger at Klaus, while watching Elijah in shock. She did not expect this from him.
'Now, Cara, love, before you go accusing my brother, he didn't do anything wrong. I overheard your conversation, and I listened in. I just confronted him myself of my knowing, and of course, Kol heard that. Guess eavesdropping runs in the family,' he smirked.
Cara couldn't even bring herself to be mad at Klaus. She got up and walked to the door.
'Where are you going?' Klaus asked worried.
'I am going to find Kol, and tell him. I won't be able to sleep anyway, knowing that he's out there somewhere, being mad. God knows what would happen.'
She walked out, ignoring Klaus' words, and slammed it shut in his face. That felt good. She then noticed she wasn't wearing any shoes or socks. She shrugged. Kol was more important right now. She took a deep breath, and walked towards the town.
