AN: Another drabble. based on a prompt that I got about a love potion. No Beta.
Caroline walked into Bonnie's house, waving the smoke out of her face. She saw Bonnie was making something in the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Caroline asked
"Not sure, I'm trying to make a potion"
"What kind of potion?"
"One to make my powers stronger"
"Do you need any help?"
"No I'm good"
Caroline looked around at all the different ingredients and bottles. She picked up one that was very old and dusty. She pushed the dust off the label of the bottle. There were strange symbols on it.
"Don't touch that one!" Bonnie yelled
Caroline put the bottle down. Damon flashed into the house.
"Bon Bon" Damon said
"Damon don't make me revoke your invitation" Bonnie said
"You can't do that"
"Watch me"
"Whatever, we need to chop chop with the potion. Klaus is still running around free with his hybrids"
"You're not helping" Bonnie said
Damon looked at the different bottles and opened up a few to smell them.
"Whew! What's in here a skunk?" Damon asked
"Put that down, you're not helping, get out" Bonnie said
"Chop chop Bon Bon" Damon said
"Shut up Damon" Caroline said
Damon tosses the bottle he's holding and it spills all over Caroline.
"Damon! What the hell!" Caroline yells
The potion sinks into her skin and dries immediately. Bonnie turns her head and walks over to Caroline and twirls her blonde hair around her finger.
"You have pretty hair" Bonnie said
"Um ok, thanks?" Caroline said
"Move over Bonnie" Damon said pushing her
"Don't be mean to Bonnie" Caroline said
"Of course not, I just want to be closer to you" Damon said
"Ew. Go away"
"But I can't help it"
Damon moved closer to her, and she backed away.
"Stop it Damon!"
"I just-"
Caroline flashed to the other side of the room. Damon followed her and Bonnie used her magic and sent him flying across the room.
"She's mine!" Bonnie said
"I don't think so Bon Bon!" Damon said
Caroline flashed out of the house. She didn't know what was going on but she didn't want to be there anymore. She decided to go to the Grill. When she walked in, everyone turned to look at her. Caroline walked over to the bar where Matt was working. Matt smiled and leaned over the bar.
"Hey Care" Matt said
"Can I get a chocolate milkshake?" Caroline asked
"Anything for you"
Matt left and another guy sat next to her.
"So do you come here often?" The guy asked
Caroline rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe this was happening. She turned back to the guy.
"No, not interested, go away" Caroline said
"But you're so beautiful"
Caroline looked at the guy again and compelled him to leave.
"Go back to what you were doing before and leave me alone" Caroline said
The guy shook his head and then looked back at her again.
"But I want to be with you"
Caroline backed away from him. Her compulsion didn't work. Was there vervain in the water? She felt someone else stand next to her and put their arm around her. She looked over and saw Stefan.
"She's busy, get lost" Stefan said
"Why don't you get lost?" The guy said
"Oh my god" Caroline said
Stefan leaned over and kissed Caroline on the cheek and she froze.
"What's going on Stefan?" Caroline asked
"I'm in love with you" Stefan said
"No, I'm in love with her!" The guy said
The two started fighting.
"Stop it!" Caroline yelled
Matt showed up and tried to break it up.
"None of you are in love with her!" Matt yelled, "Because I am"
Matt kissed Caroline and she pushed him off.
"Everyone needs to stop kissing me!" Caroline yelled as she left
She was heading towards the exit when the men all got up to follow her. She ran outside and bumped into Klaus.
"In a rush?" Klaus asked
"God could this day get any worse?" Caroline said
The men followed her outside and Klaus stood in front of her.
"I'm in love with you!"
"No I am!"
"I love you! Let me show you!"
"Caroline I love you!"
Klaus reached over and held onto her hand.
"Don't let go" Klaus said
Klaus grabbed Caroline and flashed off. Stefan flashed after them. Klaus took her to his mansion and left her in the study.
"Are you also in love with me?" Caroline asked
"That's a strong word, I said I fancy you, I wouldn't go that far to call it love" Klaus said
"You're immune to it somehow"
"I suppose"
"Everyone has gone crazy, they're all in love with me or something. But how are you immune? Stefan's all crazy too"
"I'm a hybrid love, I'm different"
"This is all Damon's fault, he threw that potion on me"
"A love potion? I wondered what that scent on you was"
"You were smelling me?"
"No, the scent is very strong, it's coming out of your skin"
"I need a shower!"
An hour later, Caroline had scrubbed her skin red. She came out, and found a dress waiting for her. She couldn't find her clothes, so she put on the dress and went to find Klaus.
"Klaus? Are you here?" Caroline called out
"Down here love" Klaus said
Caroline went downstairs and saw Klaus standing over Stefan and Damon.
"What did you do?" Caroline asked
"They came for you, declaring their undying love for you. It was getting rather tiresome. They'll wake soon enough" Klaus said
"Where are my clothes?"
"They were soaked with that potion. I thought you wanted to get rid of the scent"
"Oh"
"But the potion has been absorbed into your skin. I can still smell it on you"
"I was in the shower for an hour!"
"You're just going to have to wait for the potion to wear off"
"How long is that going to take!?"
"Most love potions don't last that long, it should be gone by tomorrow. You can take any of the rooms upstairs"
Klaus sat down across from her and picked up his sketchbook. Caroline fidgeted with her hands and didn't know what to do. Klaus smiled to himself and began sketching to her.
"How do you not have a tv? I'm so bored" Caroline
"How about a game then?" Klaus asked
"Oh no, I'm not playing strip poker with you"
"Interesting how your mind goes there, is there something you want to tell me?"
"No! What game do you want to play?"
"Chess"
"Chess?"
"Have you ever played?"
"No, no one ever taught me how"
"Here, I'll teach you how to play then"
Caroline sat across from Klaus as he set up the pieces.
"This is the pawn, they are rather expendable and move one space. But if you manage to get your pawn across the board it becomes a queen. We'll get to her in a minute"
"This is the rook"
"It looks like a castle"
"Yes, the rook-"
"Oh and a horse"
"That's a knight-"
"And this pointy thing"
"That's a bishop"
"Really? Then what's this one with the plus sign on it?"
"That's the king"
"Who names these things? Why isn't there a prince or a squire or what are those other things called?"
"Sweetheart"
"Sorry, I ask a lot of questions"
"Nothing to be sorry for. The object of the game is to capture the king"
"Figures"
"Yes, the queen as I mentioned before is the most powerful piece on the board. She can go wherever she wants, in whatever direction she wants. She can protect the king or let him be captured. When a pawn reaches the other side of the board it runs into a queen, changing the game"
"So everything rests on the queen"
"Yes"
"So she has all the power"
"Yes, she always has"
Caroline felt his gaze on her and she looked back down at the board.
"So let's play"
In the morning, Stefan and Damon found themselves chained and hung from the ceiling of the mansion. Caroline walked downstairs and looked at them.
"Feeling better?" Caroline asked
"Much, can you get us down from here?" Damon asked
"Yeah, this is really embarrassing as it is" Stefan said
"Do you remember what happened?" Caroline asked
"Sadly yes, now let me down" Damon said
Caroline went to say goodbye to Klaus. He was sketching again.
"Hey" caroline said
"Leaving already?" Klaus asked
"Yeah, everything's back to normal, so I'm gonna go"
"Alright"
"Thanks for everything. You didn't have to. I know I haven't been nice to you about anything, and since you were the only one immune you didn't have to help me"
"I wasn't immune"
"What?"
"I've grown used to seeing you, hearing you, wanting you, and you rejecting me that I know better than to grab you and try to kiss you like the others. The potion doesn't work on someone who's already in love"
"You said that was a strong word and you only fancied me"
"I lied"
Caroline felt a blush creep on her cheeks. She looked down and saw the chess board. She walked over to it and knocked the king over. She looked back up at him.
"Would you sacrifice the queen for the king?" Caroline asked
"Never"
"Why?"
"Because she's too valuable"
"But the point of the game is to capture the king"
"He is nothing without her"
Caroline leaned closer to him and kissed him on the cheek. She brushed her cheek against his and then looked at his lips. She leaned closer and kissed him and Klaus kissed her back with full force. Her arms were around his neck and he pushed her against the table, knocking over the chess pieces.
