Chapter 54
A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.
Hey guys so here Klaroline drabble. I decided to test something out. Takes place in New Orleans. But I have changed some things. Enjoy.
Power or Love
Klaus was sipping a drink at the bar. He had learned a few things since being back in his city in New Orleans. Though Marcel thought he was king. So Klaus would have to show that he was not a king but a tyrant that would fall at the hands of the true king. Leaving Mystic Falls, he felt relief he had grown tired of living there for a while and was now finally free of it. Elijah had joined him but Rebekah had stayed behind for the sake of her human boy. A few days ago Klaus found out that Hayley had been pregnant with his child. Only to find out yesterday that it had been false. Turns out Hayley had a drunk night with Tyler after prom night. They had been drunk and slept together. He had found out through the Samantha by connecting the child to its birth parents, it had been proven to be Hayley and Tyler. He was angered that the werewolf had such the nerve to try to trick him only because Tyler had told her he never wanted to see her again. Although he didn't know of the child. Klaus could careless, in truth he wanted to kill her, but Klaus realized he couldn't do it knowing that a child was growing inside of her. Klaus may have been a lot of things but he wouldn't murder a child. As time progressed he had been here for about a month, and found out a few things. One Marcel ruled the city, two the witches had tried to blackmail him, and three Camille. Camille was the blonde bartender studying psychology. Why was she important? Because she was the pawn that he would use against Marcel to reclaim his throne. The truth was that Marcel liked Camille. And Klaus had always told him, but no one ever listened to him. 'Love is a vampire's greatest weakness.' And for a thousand years he has never loved and has thought of himself to be stronger than ever. He was the original hybrid after all. He had lived for a thousand years, and was a creator amongst vampires. Klaus heard a stool move beside him. He glanced to his older brother who sat down next to him.
"Drinking at this time Niklaus?" It was morning after all. Klaus shrugged.
"It really helps me think of ways to kill Marcel but not put these thoughts into action." He took another sip.
"Well Niklaus you will be pleased to know that Marcel has been hiding another secret here." Klaus raised an eyebrow.
"What's that?" He asked.
"Marcel had a powerful witch," Klaus rolled his eyes.
"Yes, Elijah her name is Davina Claire." Elijah shook his head.
"No he 'had' another powerful witch at one time." Klaus looked at him curiously. "You see two years ago Marcel had found a powerful witch much more powerful then even Davina. But she fled from him, she knows how Marcel works. She could help bring Marcel's reign down." Elijah explained.
"What's her name?"
Salem, Massachusetts: Salem's Diner
"Caroline!" He protested trying to reach for his drink once again.
"It's too early to drink, and I won't have you getting drunk." He groaned.
"Adam,"
"I am taking Caroline's side in this dad. You have had enough."
"I don't believe this my son, and my niece disciplining their own guardian." Caroline shook her head before handing a plate of eggs to her uncle Ethan. Uncle Ethan Conant and his son also her cousin Adam Conant. Despite her uncle's reputation here in Salem being know as the old drunk in a way, she had moved here to help them. She was almost eighteen while Adam was sixteen and thought that he would need her help to finish high seeing how his father had gotten more depressed. Strangely after hearing about the death of a Amelia Blake. When she asked him why it had been one time when he was drunk, but he mentioned how Amelia and him were destined to be together or something that was written in the stars. "Shouldn't you kids be heading to school." Caroline sighed.
"He's right we better go," Caroline undid her apron while Adam grabbed his bag and keys heading out to the car. Caroline grabbed her bag before she stopped and turned to her uncle. "If I find that bottle or any bottle gone in this diner then you will be on that strike diet of water." She jabbed her finger in warning. He put his hands up in surrender and she smirked. The car horn beeped followed by Adam's irritating voice. She turned and headed out to the car making her way to school.
Meanwhile not to far from where they were a strange man watched them. Caroline wasn't sure if Adam noticed it but she felt a fear building up inside of her. Would her old past come back to haunt her. Making her way to school was simple, Adam was her friend as well as cousin. Till Diana showed up. Diana Meade was Adam's girlfriend. She was prep girl, student counsel leader, and in many committees. She was Miss Perfect as it were, though Caroline had, had the honor of winning Miss Salem, it was a pageant that she had agreed to be in, because there wasn't enough people. Diana had to beg her. Adam and Diana kissed to which she rolled her eyes.
"I'll see you guys later." She said. Diana nodded. Caroline made her way to her locker and groaned when she saw them. She wasn't in the mood to tolerate them.
"Caroline, still working as a waitress as well as a cheerleader." Faye Chamberlin aka resident bad girl. She had this sort of personality that irritated you to no end. She shook her head. "Tell me how you manage?" Caroline rolled her eyes and placed her History book in her locker.
"It must be difficult for you," Melissa Glaser best friend of and side kick of resident bad girl. Caroline shrugged.
"It's not easy but I manage. I can't say that the same to the principal's daughter." Faye's mother was the principal as well.
"Hey Caroline," Caroline turned to Cassie Blake the new girl at school. She had been here for the pass month now and had been Caroline's new locker buddy you could say.
"So new girl Cassie and Caroline are the new BFFs here then." Faye gave them a smug smile. "Oh how adorable, perhaps Caroline and you can talk about boys. Like Adam, oh I am sure that Caroline knows plenty on him. I mean he is her cousin. Besides as I said before Cas, he does go for the sappy broken sensitive delicate types." Cassie glared at her. Caroline knew that there was some interest between Adam and Cassie, but Adam was loyal to Diana and they were in love. But that didn't mean that they didn't have chemistry. Also Caroline had seen some longing glances between them.
"Faye why don't you go is a bitch somewhere else."Faye gave her a look.
"Don't try and tell me what to do Forbes." She snapped before moving pass them along with Melissa right behind her.
"It's bad enough that she has to go to this school but to actually come personally up to us and harass us is another thing." Caroline shook her.
"I know," The bell rang. Cassie glanced at her. "I better be getting to class and you should too." Caroline nodded and turned to make her way down to PIG/Economics. It wasn't until she walked by the main office and peaked in to find two men standing there. That looked almost in their early or mid twenties. She observed the man scruffy light brown hair. She sensed something that she wasn't sure what she sensed. But something didn't seem right. That's when she listened in on Principal Chamberlin and the two men.
"We are looking for a student here by the name of Caroline Forbes." Her heart stopped. They were looking for her. But she didn't know these men.
"I cannot tell you where she is at this time gentleman but you can check at the diner this afternoon. She lives with her uncle and cousin Adam. You will have to take it up with Ethan her uncle. He is her guardian after all." She explained. The man with light brown hair turned to glance at her in the doorway before she fled without another look.
For the rest of the day she was paranoid. If someone was looking for her, it had to be bad. Adam kept questioning her wondering if she was alright. But Caroline was nervous that perhaps Marcel had found her now. She had tried so hard to get away from him. And she still intended to get away from him. She could never go back home to New Orleans not after everything that had happened.
"No." She said grabbing the drink from Ethan as he tried to sneak it pass her.
"Oh come on I have been clean all day 'mother'." He mocked.
"I refuse to have you drunk tonight and get Mrs. Chamberlin's attention again." He groaned and walked off with a glass of water. Caroline drowned the drink. She heard movement behind her at the bar and turned to the customers to get their drinks since Adam was helping another customer.
"What can I- She froze and stopped seeing who it was. He chuckled.
"It seems that I have taken you off guard love." He commented. She swallowed hard remembering that he had been one of the men that had been looking for her. "You remember me I see." She swallowed hard. Klaus seemed quite interested in her for some reason. She was beautiful, he hadn't seen someone like her before in the last thousand years of his life. He knew though that he wanted to get to know her more despite that he was still looking for this Caroline Forbes witch girl.
"Well I haven't seen many strangers come to our school. Or two men before, I wouldn't expect them to be interested in school." He shrugged.
"Were not, we were just looking for someone. Perhaps you know them." She shook her head quickly to which he raised an eyebrow.
"I probably don't. I mean I have only lived here for a year. But I am way to busy for any free time. Helping with my family of course." She explained.
"Caroline Forbes, you wouldn't know her perhaps?" Before she could answer everyone began gathering around outside with gasps and few people yelling. Caroline and the stranger walked outside onto the docks finding what the people were gathering around. There on the rocks lied Molly Bates a girl from high school. Mrs. Chamberlin had walked down there and tried to see if she was alright while Adam called an ambulance. Caroline glanced to Faye who had a shocked and worried expression her face. She knew then that Faye might have been the one to have done it. She might have had her powers get out of control. Caroline moved to follow Adam back inside to see if she could find any ice to put on her head since there was a cut that had been seen. She was suddenly grabbed and yanked against a wall. She grunted and looked up recognizing his face.
"Well, well Caroline Forbes. Did you really think that you could escape Marcel Caroline?" He asked.
"Thierry." She said. He grabbed her around the throat and clenched her windpipe in his hand. She cried out. It was hard to focus on using her powers right now because of the lack of oxygen. She struggled against.
"How about a taste of your own medicine," He held up a cloth of sage to which Caroline struggled harder. But before she could do anything, she realized that she didn't have to now. Next thing she knew he fell to the ground dead and in front of her was the man that had ripped his heart out. The stranger, the british guy. She reached out without hesitation and brushed her fingers against his arm lightly. She finally established what he was.
"You're the hybrid." She stated. She had heard of him but never thought anything of him. Sometimes she had thought that he was just a legend.
"Yes, I am Klaus Mikaelson. And I suppose that you are Caroline Forbes." She swallowed hard.
"How did you-
"I heard him say it." She shook her head.
"Are you here to try and take me back to Marcel as well?" She asked. Klaus raised an eyebrow. "Or are you going to kill me like him?"
"Do you really think that low of me? I mean you hardly know me." She shook her head.
"I know you, through your reputation and what vampires, witches, and werewolves have talked about." She told him. She wasn't afraid to tell him what she thought of him. She was honest and didn't seem afraid of him. It made him curious.
"I am here to ask for your help." Klaus said. She raised an eyebrow.
"My help?" She asked confused. He nodded.
"I need your help in stopping Marcel, and dethroning him. He is a tyrant after all." She shook her head.
"Why would I go back. I had finally gotten my life back together before he showed up." She glared down at his body.
"Because Marcel has seemed to abducted another powerful witch like you. Davina Claire. Perhaps that might bring you back." Davina Claire, she remembered her two years ago. She was fourteen when she had last seen her. Davina had been brainwashed by Marcel's attempts to pretend to care for her by gaining power. That was the same treatment she had received. And to this day she still wished she had stopped him somehow.
"I tried to run from my past. But I know that I can't and I have to face it. I won't have Davina face what had to. I will go back to New Orleans with you."
Note: So here is another drabble. I kind of took some of the Secret circle in it too. I wanted to see how Caroline would do as a witch. Review please.
