So this chapter is going to be from when Damon and Stefan were in New Orleans and the Winter party in the next episode. Also I know Caroline was being hypocritical when it came to Delena on the show because she had feelings for Klaus. I love Caroline as a character, but she's going to be really hypocritical in the next few chapters. She's going to realize that she was taking out her frustrations about Klaus on Elena. Anyways here's the chapter:)
Elena Pov
-flashback-
I woke up snuggled into a warm body, I had no clue who it was until I remembered the previous night's events. I remembered how Jeremy wanted to kill and how I drove to the Mikaelson Mansion and had fallen asleep in Kol's arms. I looked up and saw that was snuggled into his side with my head on his chest. I was starting to wake up, and tried to slowly maneuver my way out or his arms.
"Trying to get away from me already?" I gasped and looked up to his face to see a smirk on his lips with his eyes still closed.
"I-" I let my train of thought drift away. "Don't worry darling I was just teasing." he says with a laugh.
I give him a light smack on his shoulder and chuckle. I straightened up "Kol" I say to get his attention"I just wanted to thank you. I mean if it wasn't for you , I would probably be dead a dozen times over. So, thank you." I say with a genuine smile. He gives me a small nod and smile before I reach over to the side table for my phone. "57 missed calls and messages from Stefan, Damon, Ric, Jenna, Bonnie, and Caroline." I read aloud.
"I better go explain myself." I sigh as I grab my bag and Kol walks me out to my car. He stops a yard or two away from my car and I reach my hand out to my door handle "Friends, then?" I heard Kol say from behind me. I drop my hand and turn halfway and look at him from over my shoulder and give him a smile "Friends." I say shortly as I hop into my car and drive off to the boarding house .
I met up with everyone at the boarding house and had explained that I couldn't stay at home because of jeremy so I packed my bags and went to stay at Ric's apartment, that he hardly uses anymore. Damon and Stefan had decided to go on a trip to New Orleans because apparently Klaus needed something from there. Me, Jenna, Caroline, and Bonnie got drunk off the liquor in the Salvatore cellar. We were fooling around and then we all crashed by the sofas. I plopped down into the couch and laid down, Jenna sat down at the end of it by my feet. Bonnie and Caroline pulled some throw pillows off the couch and onto the floor to sit down on them. After our giggles died down we settled into a comfortable silence.
"So-" Caroline began "What's the deal with you and Kol?" I look down at her from my spot on the couch "What? There is no deal."
I looked around to see Bonnie and Jenna give me looks " I don't believe you"
Caroline huffed and crossed her arms. "Well tough" I said shortly.
"Then how can you explain him always being around when you are, he only gets involved when it has to do with you."
I stood up and walked towards the entryway. "Look, all I know is that recently he's been there for me, and I trust him."
Caroline walked over to me and Bonnie got up on the couch with Jenna as they watched our conversation. "God you can't trust him Elena, you're sired to him." she blurts out in frustration.
"What?" Me, Bonnie, and Jenna say at once and urge her to continue.
" I wish that it didn't come out like that but it's true, Kol's blood turned you, and how else do you explain your weird behavior. Ask Stefan and Damon about this when they get back, they can explain it better than I can." she says.
"I'm sorry you talked to them about this?" she explains further " It's why they are really in New Orleans, they are trying to find a way to break the bond." I walk up to the door "Okay you need to leave, now." I state as I open the door. The next part is a blur, two hybrids rushed in and pinned me and Caroline against the wall, then a few seconds later they grabbed Caroline and left. I called Tyler and we rushed over to save her when we got back to the boarding house, me and Caroline made up.
my got in my car and knew I needed answers from one person. I drove back to the mansion and stormed up to his room and threw open the door. I saw him whip his head around to me and furrow his brows. "Am I sired to you?" I blurted out.
He turned his body to face me" Now, wherever did you get that idea?" he asks in confusion. "Caroline let it slip." I said shortly.
He chuckled " You know there are certain... requirements for a vampire to get sired." I took a step forward" And what are they?" I asked.
"Well, for one you have to have been turned by their blood, and two... you had to have had human feelings for them." he finished. "I'm going to go out on a limb and say the ladder isn't checked off." I apologised and on the way back to my room I realized that my trust for him had only grown.
Caroline Pov
Tyler and his hybrids were planning on killing Klaus tonight. Me and Stefan tried to stop them until Damon called and said Shane knew how to get there and that we didn't need the sword. I knew that we needed the sword for Elena but it wasn't my driving force to try to save Klaus. Tying to save Klaus was. I just couldn't watch him die but I knew that I couldn't betray my friends. So I bit my tongue and it took everything inside me to not run to him and tell him what was happening. I tried playing along and suggesting that we use Rebekah's body instead of Tyler. Then Hayley snapped my neck and I woke to April trying to help me. I thought I had compelled her, but she was on vervain. I decided I would deal with it later and waltzed outside the grill when it closed. When I knew it was happening I started to cry and walked near the foundation in town square.
I didn't know how much time had passed when I heard Carol call out my name and come to sit with me. She thought I was crying over Tyler. I looked up when I heard the familiar sound of a vampire whooshing in front of me. I looked up hesitantly, expecting Tyler. When I saw him I shuddered a breath, he was alive, Klaus was alive.
"You're alive." I said in disbelief to tilting my head slightly as I stood up. Then I looked at the blood spatter all over him and shuttered. "Oh my God."
He flashed over to me and held me up against a tree as I saw Carol run for her life. "Did you know?" he said with pain in his voice. A few tears fell from my face "Yes." I said before I continued "I wanted to stop them, but I couldn't betray my friends." I felt more tears fall and drop onto his hands.
"How do I know you aren't lying?" he said menacingly with a tilt of his head as he removed his hand. I bent down to grab a sharp stick and ran it across my wrist. He knew what I meant, he raised my wrist to his face and smelt. I wasn't on vervain and now he knew that.
He cupped my face and looked directly into my eyes " Did you want to stop your friends from killing me?" he asked. "Yes" was all I said before he asked one more question.
"Why?" he asked. Before I even had the chance to think about it, I blurted out " Because I feel something... for you."
Klaus Pov
I staggered back from her in disbelief. She felt something for me? I was about to inquire more on the subject when I remembered why I was here in the first place. I heard frantic breathing and footsteps from a few streets away. I looked at Caroline and she seemed to have heard it too, because her eyes were begging me not to go after her. I flashed over to where I heard the noises, Carol staggered back as I appeared in front of her. A few moments later Caroline flashed in between us and I tilted my head.
"Carol run" she commanded over her shoulder. I made a threatening step over to her and she didn't waver. "Love, you can't possibly think you stand a chance against me." I said with a chuckle.
"That's why I was to talk, not fight." she said defiantly. "As much as I do love our conversations, I'm not in the mood for girl talk." I said, already walking past her when she grabbed my arm and forced me to look at her.
When my eyes met hers she said "Please." I caved and we walked over to a bench.
"You can't kill her" she stated simply. " Tyler betrayed me, and tried to kill me. I need to retaliate." I said with a growl.
"I know Tyler, by now he would have fled town, and you can't just wreak havoc on the people he left behind." she sighed " If you want... something from me, in exchange for my friend's lives and Carol's life, I'm listening." she finished.
I had calmed down at this point and had realized there was a certain innuendo imbedded into her statement. I stood up from the bench and leant down to whisper in her ear.
"Sometime in the future, a year, decade or even a century, I will come to you and ask you for a favor and you will oblige." I mirrored my words from our dance months ago. Then I looked into her eyes and compelled her and flashed away.
Elena Pov
I had spent the day with Shane, Bonnie, Jenna, Ric, Damon, and Jeremy at the lake house and had trained him to not kill me. I had spent the entire day explaining how I wasn't sired to Kol, because I hadn't had feelings for him before I turned. Damon didn't listen though, it was like arguing with a wall. When I gave up on convincing him, we started going through the old Christmas decorations and set up the tree. We had decided to leave Jeremy, Ric, and Damon behind so that Jeremy could get better at hunting. When we got back to town Jenna said that I should stay back at home with her, but I declined using the excuse that I should stay at Ric's because I still had a lot of my things over there. When she dropped me off I called Kol and had him pick me up and take me back to the mansion.
April Pov
I ran out of the grill as fast as I could. What the hell just happened? Caroline should be dead, right? I ran to hide in the woods when I saw at least a dozen bodies on the forest floor with their hearts removed. This was the most terrifying sight I had ever seen I ran into what looked like a cellar. I saw another body on the floor and a coffin laying next to it. I walked over to the coffin slowly when I heard footsteps, I ran to hide behind a pillar. I waited till I heard them go back towards and saw a man's silhouette jog up the steps. Then I walked back up to the coffin, I took a deep breath and opened the lid. Oh my God. Rebekah. There was a dagger shoved into her gut and her whole body was covered in grey veins. I reached for the dagger and I pulled it out, seeing as that was the only option that made sense. And "now we wait" I thought.
Please review:)
