Chapter 11 Part 1: Thats what you get
What a difference a year makes. I could clearly remember last year I had my close friends, my family, the person I loved and my witchcraft. Everything had been so much easier back then. I knew who I was, I knew who I wanted to be and I knew that I still had time to figure out everything else.
Now, a year later I was the immortal witch, prophesied to unite the supernatural world and stop the brewing war that was taking the lives of so many. I was married to my best friends brother in a "loveless" marriage on my side. And I had found myself the center of the attention when it came to two brothers. So basically this year for valentines day I had found myself in a love square. That alone had the makings of a number of t.v. shows, where the heroine couldn't decided who to give her broken heart to. It was nice to watch on the t.v. screen, fiction was always great to read or watch because it wasn't your drama but when shit got real, it got real. And for me it was real.
The men in my life, wanted something and were looking to me to give it to them. Klaus wanted a real chance to have a real marriage. Damon wanted to bed me and save me from the big bad. And Stefan, he just waned me .I guess that was why instead of basking in the fact that I had very handsome admirers or crying my eyes out on the love and life I had lost, I had found myself doing something entirely different on valentines day.

My body was currently twisted in the most delicious way that gave me the pleasure and pain that every woman craved, at least once in a while. My breath hitched with every move that we made, the rhythm of our movements were in sync as labored breathes were heard across the room. Sweat trickled down my spine as I held the position, before a voice from above caused me to collapse onto the mat.
When the instructor called for an impromptu break a collection of sighs were heard all across the room. We may have enjoyed working out but everyone had a breaking point and by the look on just about everyone face we were all nearing that point.
"Thank God!" Caroline expels loudly. "If that hag shushed me one more time, I was going to take her out back and compel her to spend the rest of the day eating nothing but pizza and drinking beer." Caroline says while glaring at our yoga teacher
I side eye Caroline who is now chomping on a piece of gum, where she got it from, I have no idea. "Yeah well maybe if you weren't such a walkie talkie, you wouldn't get a glare every time you opened your mouth." I admitted while thinking back to all the times the instructor glared our way because of Caroline. We had taken three classes this morning, spinning, dance and yoga and every female instructor had glared our way while the one lone guy which was our dance instructor was too caught up in the music to realize that Caroline had been blabbering the whole time. Or the fact that Melissa had been swooning every single time she watched him dance in the mirror.
Rolling blue eyes she spoke. "It's early morning everyone should be up and running." Caroline says as she makes eyes at some of the guys from the class across from ours.
Melissa lets out a small sound while stretching garnering our attention. "All I know is that I'm glad that its over, whose bright idea was it to get early as hell this morning anyway?" she questioned. "Its bad enough that everyone we ran into this morning were raving about what their doing tonight, and I think that last bit of yoga nearly killed me."
I rolled my eyes and slung my arm around my bestie. "Melissa that bright idea came from you." I say cracking a smile when she pouts her face my way. Melissa didn't have anything to worry about, I had been looking for spells since I became the immortal witch. And if I couldn't find or create a spell, I was sure Kol would turn Melissa because, after all she was his doll.
Interrupting the touching moment between friends Caroline clapped her hands garnering attention of her two newest friends and gave them both her most dazzling smiles.
"We should totally do something to reward ourselves from making it through that class, with that god awful woman." she muses now looking at her nails. Since her birthday party the relationship she was beginning to develop with the newest transports to Mystic falls had been great. It felt good to have a group of girls to talk about girl things with. She had loved and adored the men in her life, Stefan, Matt, Jeremy, Tyler and on occasion Damon but what she had been missing since Elena had died was girl friends, and slowly she was beginning to feel like she had found some.
Melissa rolls her hazel eyes while fixing her pony tail which had come undone. "Says the girl with superhuman strength, that workout was probably like blinking for you." she half joked. "Besides I didn't work out for almost three hours to throw it away by eating something as delicious and unhealthy as a triple fudge chocolate cake." she admitted while her stomach growled at the mere mention of something so delicious yet so evil.
Caroline smiled. Food was certainly one of her vices, in fact she ate more now that she was a vampire because it helped with the craving. She could totally go for chili burger with onion rings, and a strawberry shake, and mozzarella sticks because really who could ever pass up the chance to have fried cheese! "Im not talking about food! I'm talking about having a girls night out!" she says happily.
I watched as both girls lit up at the thought of a girls night out, which indeed sounded like a good idea to me. I was itching to get out of the house, and away from Klaus. Ever since our date night things had changed dramatically between me and Klaus. I felt like he had laid out most of his cards. He had wanted me, he wanted me to be his wife and he wanted to be able to be my husband for real and I didn't know how to react to those strong words. And then their were the Salvatore brothers, I felt them all the time, when I was with them I felt everything, everything.
It would be nice to get away from the longing looks Klaus had sent my way and get out of my own head which was a jumbled mess. "Caroline I-" I didn't get to finish my words because soon Caroline is standing in my face flapping her arms and talking again.
"Come on your guys!" Caroline practically begged as her voice suddenly went high pitched. It seemed that this girls night out was really important to the her. You'd think she was the one being perused by overtly aggressive vampires (Klaus and Damon) who were convinced that you (me) belonged at their side.
Looking at the two witches in front of her she decided to continue, there was no way in hell she was taking no for an answer but she figured she could wear them down so at least they would agree to come out with her willingly, if not she'd take matters into her own hands. "I mean, " she says flicking her hair over her shoulder. " When you really think about it, we are every mans perfect fantasy." she says whilst following the girls as they began to walk out of the dance studio. "We're young," she says holding up one finger. "Sexy" she added another finger. "And single." she says beaming at both girls. "So why not act on it."
Melissa inclines her head agreeing with Caroline. It had been way too long since she had been out with the girls. She had loved Bonnie to pieces but lately her friend had been plagued with boy problems to the highest degree and she too needed a night off from the drama that was starting to surround the Mikaelson home. And that was without even mentioning her situation with Kol.
"It sounds like a good idea, i'm in." Melissa says with an easy shrug. She had been dying to get dressed up since her not so secret date with Kol days ago. They had finally gone out on a real date only for things to go back to normal the next day. She wasn't sure who was the problem, her or him. At times she wanted more from him, and other times she wanted things to just be about sex. As for Kol well he never said much about anything he acted like he wanted her and other time he acted like he didn't care. "Come on Bons, we're young, sexy and single!" she chimed in with a bright smile.
I rose my hand. "In case the two of you have forgotten I'm married." I say causing blue eyes to roll while Melissa let out a groan in displeasure. My best friend had made it perfectly clear who she wanted me to be with, and his last name was not Mikaelson. In fact she had favored the last name Salvatore, to be exact she favored Damon Salvatore.
"In name only." Melissa cooed and when I looked her way she had jutted her eyebrows up. It wasn't like I was in love with Klaus or anything because I wasn't. We were friends, we were working on our friendship and I just didn't want another episode like the whole Damon incident. Klaus had made it perfectly clear that while we were husband and wife he wouldn't stand for anyone trying to come between us. I chose to believe him especially since I had watched as his hand had ripped through the flesh of Damons chest, as he prepared to rip out his heart. Klaus was serious about our marriage.
Caroline nodded her head in agreement. "I'm totally willing to overlook that tid bit if you are. "She says smirking.
I looked between the two of them, could they be any more obvious. Truth be told I was more than happy to have a girls night out! I felt like the men in my life were suffocating me. It would be nice to get away from the longing looks Klaus had sent my way and get out of my own head which was a jumbled mess. "Caroline I-" I didn't get to finish my words because soon Caroline is standing in my face flapping her arms and talking again.
"Seriously Bonnie!" Caroline whines while stomping her foot. "We need this." she says while pointing between herself and Melissa. Last she had heard Melissa was still in limbo with Kol and she had zero love life. "I need this." she said nearly begging before throwing her hands up in the air. Their was no way in hell she was going to stay home again with Damon, who was freakishly happy! No way in hell! "I can totally make it worth your while!" she says with a grin.
I looked at her unimpressed, why did that totally remind me of Damon. "That was totally a Damon move you know that right." I say slightly amused which only causes Caroline to let out a shriek.
"Uh seriously! Focus Bonnie! For the last couple of days I've been stuck at home without my best friend!" she says looking over to Bonnie. "And when I do call him he's talking to you, or talking about you!" she says eyeing the caramel beauty that her best friend was so hung up on. "He's far away with Jeremy, and I'm not trying to ruin his mancation, its just I need girl time and I've been trapped in the house with Damon!"she says pausing to chew on her hang nail and then thinks better of it. "Do you know what its like to be stuck with him?" she asked looking at both girls who were giving her the you need to calm down look. "I'm sure every girl in town would love to be sharing a home with him, but for me as about as much appeal as getting a Brazilian wax." she dead panned.
Melissa and I share a look before snickering. I had to admit Damon was still on my shit list for the stunt he played with Klaus but really he couldn't have been that bad. I mean like everyone else he had two sides to him. The side that I met on my first day in Mystic Falls, where he tried to get me into bed. And then the other side, the side I saw the night he tucked me into bed, or the night we sat on top of his car and looked up into the dark sky and talked for hours. But then again, Caroline had known him way better then I and well she lived with the guy. I shuddered at the thought.
"Is he really that bad?" Melissa asked not understanding the intense hatred the blond vampire seemed to hold for her roommate.
Caroline gave her a look. "He's horrible." she says before looking over to Bonnie. "And what makes things even more worst is that he's so freaking happy, if he smile one more freaking time I swear i'm going to do something to pop his bubble."
Caroline was being way too dramatic for my taste but I guess I would be the verge of going bat shit crazy if I had been living with Damon for a couple of days without the salivation that was known as Stefan Salvatore. So I guess I couldn't blame the girl from freaking out, after the move Damon had pulled on Klaus I had freaked out, I could only imagine what he did at home for kicks.
After a long moment of silence and two sets of eyes looking at me I finally gave in. "Fine," I say crossing my arms underneath my chest. "What do you want to do tonight?" I asked right before Caroline rushed over to me and gave me a huge hug.
"This is going to be so much fun! I know about all the cool places in town, we go dancing and drinking and have a good time!" She squealed.
" Caroline, I can't breathe." Melissa squeaked causing the blond to finally let us go.
Releasing the two witches she beamed at them. Melissa seemed excited about it, Bonnie looked like she might be sick. "What with that face, I thought you loved to dance?" Caroline asked looking between the two friends.
Melissa looked over to her friend and placed an arm around her. "She does love to dance, but after last time," she trailed off and looked to her friend.
"Melissa!" I say halting her words but she ignores me. Kol is certainly having an effect on her.
"What happen?" Caroline asked concern in her voice and etched on her features.
"You didn't hear? The Damon/Klaus, Bamon/ Klonnie moment happen." Melissa says. She had thought Caroline would've known about the incident- she looked like the kind of girl who had known about everything and everyone in town..
Caroline recalled. The Damon and Klaus incident sounded like an eye roll waiting to happen with two egomaniacs one who bucked his eyes way too much and the other who thought his English accent was enough to sweet talk you through his pure evilness. Intrigued she took the bait. "Please tell me one of them got their asses beat, please?" she says looking between the two girls.
For my part I scuffed at the two girls who were so engrossed in talking about my bad love life that they nearly forgot I was standing right in front of them. Hand on my hip I finally found my voice and stopped their gossiping. "Are you honestly going to gossip about me in front of my face." I question looking from blue to hazel eyes. When both girls nodded their head I knew it was over.
Caroline grinned. "Would you rather we do it behind your back because if so,"
I squinted her way. "Carry on."
Melissa licked her lips. She had thought the night with Klaus and Damon was amusing to say the least. The fact that Damon had dared to put his life in danger just to prove a point to Bonnie, was heroic in her opinion- stupid but definitely heroic. "Anyway she went out with Klaus and Damon just so happen to be at the bar. He went over two of them and started talking about all the chemistry he had with Bonnie and how bad Klaus was for her. He even claimed he wanted to save her." Melissa said with stars in her eyes.
"Please tell me Klaus beat his ass?" Caroline asked gleefully, someone needed to knock Damon down a few pegs and although she'd love to do it, she'd pay money to see it happen. "I'd seriously pay money to watch someone beat the shit out of Damon."
I squinted at both of them appalled by both of their reactions. Caroline clearly wanted someone to beat on Damon and his bones, why I don't know. And Melissa, well she had made it very clear that although she thought Stefan was cool people, she willingly shipped me with Damon. She claimed that with all that heat and bickering lay something that could be wonderful if I had given it a chance.
"Damon was being reckless," I say with an eye roll. I was still ticked off about his behavior at the bar. Klaus really didn't like him and he even hinted that the only reason the glacier eyed vampire was still undead was because he was suppose to be my guardian. Klaus had made if very clear that his feelings for Damon, in fact I even detected that he might be jealous of him. I shook my head just thinking. "He could've gotten himself killed and for what?" I asked beginning to pace. "Because he was trying to prove some point that Klaus was the bad guy or because he was trying to prove to me that I was attracted to him." I say thinking back to our alone time.
Next thing I know Caroline breaks out into a happy dance that included the running man. I bit back a grin despite the fact that it was a bit off putting to see her so clearly excited about Damon getting his ass beat.
Stopping mid dance she turned to see green eyes with fury. "What? I can celebrate that Damon got his ass beat. But what totally bugs me is that Klaus totally kicked his ass and I missed it." she says with a pout.
I sent her a look. "Its not funny Caroline,." I say still shaken up by the mere thought of it. I was about to say more when suddenly Melissa and Caroline are talking about our epic girls night out.
Caroline shrugged.
"She's right" Melissa says taking my side. For a moment I thought the two of them were going to continue to gang up on me. "Its not funny. You've got three guys vying for your attention and I'm sure it's not a fun as it looks." Melissa says turning to me. "That is why tonight, we're gonna have fun and forget about our shitty love lives and just have fun." she says with a meaningful look on her face.
"Yeah!" Caroline joins in. "A night out without Klaus and Damon, is a dream come true." she says grinning from ear to ear. "Now I think we need to go shopping."

Mikaelson compound
Living in the Mikaelson home their were many things that were to be expected. It wasn't out of the ordinary to come home to find shreds of glass shattered against the fireplace, broken wood splinted into tiny particles, vandalize works of art, or broken strings to precious guitars. On any given day the siblings were arguing with one another and threatening to end ones existence. Klaus had favored the method of threatening to dagger his siblings which had usually served to piss off Rebekah where Kol had usually dared him to do so. Kol had another method of torture for his siblings, when he was angry he would threaten Rebekah's new boytoy while with Klaus the same person who had him daggered for so long he had opted to reveal just how well he knew me which had always managed to shut up the original hybrid. As for Rebekah, she pretty much ignored her siblings and left the house all together, despite the fact that they were openly dysfunctional, her method of revenge had always consisted of ignoring her brothers or insulting them.
I guess that was why Melissa and I had hardly bat an eyelash at the commotion coming from the mansion. Though it was louder then expected and instead of hearing everyone arguing with their English accents the only person we could hear was Rebekah and loud music.
"I wonder which one of them ticked her off?" Melissa says while throwing her bag on her shoulder. Though attending exercise class was her idea it didn't mean that she wasn't tired because she was. The only thing she had wanted to do was go home, take a shower and perhaps take a nap. She was still slightly freaking out that everyone had known that she and Kol were getting it on, apparently they weren't as secretive as they had once thought, especially if Caroline had picked up on it. That meant everyone had known. She felt her cheeks redden at the thought. She could only hope that maybe they could sneak into the mansion and skip all the drama, after all today was Valentines day, wasn't that suppose to be the day where everyone was a lover and not a fighter?
I shrug my shoulders I couldn't imagine anything that Klaus nor Kol would do that would upset Rebekah that much. Despite the fact that her brothers could be a handful, they generally doted on her and vice versa, which was odd because when they fought the Mikaelson fought hard. "Who knows" I say shutting the car door. "My money is on Klaus ticking her off though." I say causing Melissa to look at me scandalously."Or maybe Kol he does like to get under her skin!"
"Are we betting on who pissed her off?" she asked before grinning. "Okay I guess I call dibs on Kol, if I win I get to wear those ridiculously hot new shoes Klaus bought you, and you know which ones I'm talking about." Melissa says fixing me with a look. I knew exactly what shoes she was talking about, they were so hot that I hadn't even worn them yet, I just kept looking at the shoes as if they were heaven sent.
Never being one to back down, especially since I had started something, I grinned back at Melissa. "And if I win," I pausing at the sound of a rather slurred Rebekah hits my ears. Was she singing? Everyone knew that once a girl was truly ticked and started singing no less Kelly Clarkson was one of those singers you could scream with, and when you were really done Mary J Blige was a close second.
Without thinking I headed straight for the door.
"Wait a minute," Melissa calls gripping my arm. "Do you think its wise to get between the original siblings in one of their fights?" she questioned hands on her hips. "They go hard on strangers and are even worst on each other," she says pausing. "Do you remember what happen the other night over the remote control for the X Box?" she asked while looking at me like I've lost my mind which isn't unusual because she had been giving me that look since the day I had started hooking up with Klaus way back when and she had even kicked it up a notch when I had married him.
I bit my lip for a second, I had completely forgotten about the mess that had been game night, who knew vampires were such sore losers. "Ok," I say pausing to look her way. "Your right they do get a little out of hand, but seriously Mel, we have to go inside, who knows what's happening!" I say stopping mid stride. We needed to get into the mansion quick because for all we knew one little argument could amount to the mansion being a wreck and siblings being daggered. And that was something I didn't want to deal with. I loved Kol too much for him to be daggered.
Melissa nods her head people had always thought she had gotten Bonnie into trouble but it was a little none fact that Bonnie was just as much as the troublemaker as the next girl. " I knew you were gonna say that." She says with a rueful smile. "Ok what's our plan of attack?" she questioned knowing that with the original siblings you needed to be on your toes at all times.
I smirked her way, this was why I kept her around Melissa totally understood me. I always had a plan because you couldn't just go into any situation without one. "If they get out of hand you can gave them an aneurism and while they're focused on whomever you give a mind fuck to, I will immobilize them until things calm down." I say grinning.
It had a been few days since I had healed Damon and I couldn't get over the feeling that had washed over me after doing such a big spell, I missed it. Being a witch was who I was, it was me and I didn't want to hide away from it any more. It was high time I get back to magic, it was in my blood in my foundation and it was me.
BB-BB-BB
The second we walked into the mansion we heard screaming and yelling as the three original siblings were all talking at once, while loud music was being played like everywhere. It seemed Rebekah was really ticked off. As we made our way to the commotion a chair was thrown in my direction causing me to duck only to see that Melissa had caused had used her levitation skills and maneuvered the object back to the grin. I gave her a look as to say thanks as she nodded in return.
Soon we had found where the siblings were. Rebekah was perched on the high chandelier as if she were a canary in a bird cage, whilst sipping on something expensive because, well the original siblings only drank the expensive stuff.
"Stay away from me!" Rebekah called out while swinging on the chandelier as if it were a swing set. "I want nothing to do with either one of you! You have penises and that is where everything goes wrong!" she ranted, or rather slurred. Everything was so messed up. She had been her best, she had laughed at his jokes, smiled all the time and even endured his obsession with comic books and super hero's hell she had even dressed up as a super hero for him and he had the nerve to break up with her! She was freaking Rebekah Mikaelson, original vampire and she let herself fall for simple minded human Matt Donovan.
Alarmed Klaus spoke. "Now, now Bekah, just calm down and let us help you!"
She swung once again on the chandelier and dropped the expensive wine bottle that Kol had caught easily. "I don't want your help!" she ranted.
Kol took a swig of the aged wine. "Come on Bex, you almost wasted the good stuff, come down and tell us what's gotten into you, or better yet scoot over so I can join you." Kol says with a grin. "We can throw things and Nik!" he says suggestively.
Once again Rebekah growled at her brothers. She was about to say something along the lines that she was ready to set them on fire but noticed the witches that had walked in. "He broke up with me you know," she says hoping onto the next chandelier, that is hanging high above on the ceilings. "He broke up with me!" she yelled. "I am the best thing that had ever happen to him and you know what he said," she asked looking down at her two brothers and then at Bonnie and Melissa.
From my spot I watched as Rebekah poured her heart out. You could tell she was in pain, it was in the way she had spoken. Guys had no idea how much control they had over your heart. "Let me guess, he said something like it wasn't you, it was him," I say hopping onto one of the turned over couches. I caught eyes with Klaus for a moment before he turned his attention back to his sister. "And then in a round about way he probably insulted you because they always do."
"He said he couldn't handle me being a vampire" Rebekah said now mobile.
For Melissa the words Rebekah was saying, it hit home. Nothing sucked more then feeling like you weren't enough for someone. That you weren't good enough, pretty enough or smart enough for the person you loved, or liked. "And then he probably said that you deserved better then him, and maybe he needed to work on himself in order to be ready for you." She said looking over to Kol who was still fixated on Rebekah. "He gave you false hope when in the end he always knew he was going to let you down." she finished.
For a moment Rebekah looked down at the two girls who had just spoke about everything she had gone through with Matt, it was almost as if they had been in the same spot she had been many times over the years. Love was certainly not her friend and to get dumped on Valentines day no less was the worst thing that could happen to her. She had previously thought Klaus compelling Stefan to forget about her was bad but this was worst because Matt was suppose to be the good guy.
Hopping down she stands in front of the two girls. "You've been here before?" Bex asked darting blue eyes from me to Melissa.
"Of course!" I say walking over to the bar that some how managed to stay in tact and began to fix myself a drink before thinking better of it and simply bringing the tumbler of whisky over with me. "Boys are so stupid!" I say before drinking out of the bottle. "And Donovan was no exception to the rule." I say almost sadly. It seemed that everyone was doomed to have a shitty Valentines day.
Out of the corner of my eye I can tell Klaus is upset by the usage of his precious glassware, but I shrugged my shoulders we had managed to talk Rebekah down and that was all that mattered.
"That you are right, if they weren't so useful for certain things, I would give them up completely." Bekah says a grin starting to etch on her lips.
Melissa lets out a sigh. "That is what toys are for, all you need are batteries and you don't have to deal with...man drama." she says giggling.
And that is when the giggling hits us all in waves, it's only when we notice Klaus and Kol looking at the three of us peculiarly before settling their eyes on their sister that we stop laughing, and even then I still have the giggles.
"It still hurts though, Matt was suppose to be different, he was the good guy, the one that was suppose to be different from any one else." Bekah said pausing before boldly taking the bottle out of my hand.
"That ratchet human dare to hurt you sister dear," Kol says turning to look at his only sister. He feels the veins start to appear at around his face, I'll gut him like a fish and use his bones as drums" Kol says a slow menacing smile forming on his lips. Nobody hurt his sister and got a way with it. The only reason the bloody Salvatore brothers were still alive was partially due to Nik and his crush on Stefan and the fact that he could make them pay for as long as they all lived. The added bonus was that the brothers were supposed to help keep Bonnie safe in her immortal making it a little bit easier that he couldn't kill them. Besides Bekah had a soft spot for Stefan and seemed to enjoy arguing with and occasionally torturing Damon. And really who was he to ruin someone's fun.
Klaus placed his hand on her brothers shoulder causing Kol to look his way. "No need little brother because I will turn him into the one thing that he hates the most." he says grinning revealing his vampire teeth and deep dimples. "I'm gonna turn Matt into a vampire."
Alarmed my eyes shoot up to the brothers. "You can't kill him he's innocent!" I say standing up.
I knew that as vampires that the Mikaelson siblings had killed before, as well as the Salvatore brothers, it was after all in their dna, and I understood that craving blood was something that was part of them- however spilling innocent blood wasn't something that I could not accept. In fact once I took over as ruler of the supernatural world, that would be the first thing I would tackle.
Klaus growled at the mere thought of someone daring to tell him what to do. Their was no way this Matt Donovan fellow was going to get away with hurting his sister, innocent or not, you mess with one original sibling you got all of them! "He hurt my sister so he is no longer innocent."
"Nik is right kitten, we don't take betrayal lightly." Kol adds drink in hand. "Consider this your Valentines gift Bekah." he says winking at his sister.
I look to Melissa who looks as in shock as I am though really we should've known better. The original siblings are hardcore for each other. "There are other ways to get back at someone" I say looking at Rebekah. "You could show him how hot you are, remind him what he'll be missing." I say casting a look in the direction of Melissa like she's my tag team partner.
"And more importantly if you want to ease your pain, the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else." Melissa says with a dirty girl grin. She had been here numerous times, sometimes it ended well other times it didn't but for the moments when your mind wasn't infected by the person who hurt you- you felt really good.
Rebekah silently sips from the bottle before her eyes began to dance. "I heard you like to be on top." she said looking to Kol who nodded.
I rolled my eyes. "Melissa is right, what you need is some good "D" and we can help you find it" I say excitedly. I may not have known much about Matt but he was still innocent and if I could talk Rebekah out of letting her brothers kill someone innocent then I had done a good thing today. "And lucky for you we were invited to a club tonight" I say excitedly. Really when Caroline had suggested we go I had agreed on the sole purpose of trying to avoid Klaus and what I was sure he was planning. I didn't want to get his hopes up that if we shared valentines day together that it would mean more then two friends hanging out and I feared that he would otherwise.
"Why am I just hearing about this?" Bekah asked almost skeptically. True she and Bonnie were starting to get along, they were in no way as close as she had grown to be with Melissa but they were better. She had learned to deal with the fact that Klaus was starting to build his world around this girl. As for Bonnie, she had learned that the girl wasn't as bad as she once thought, though she still wanted to keep a wall up in case Bonnie in the end had broken the heart of her dear brother.
Melissa jumped in. "Because Caroline just invited us this morning." she says with a smile. In the time she had lived at the mansion, she and Rebekah had grown rather close especially when Bonnie was off with either the Salvatore brothers or with Klaus. Bekah was actually really cool, and broken like most people.
"Yeah" I broke in with a smirk of my own, as I watched Melissa sit next to Rebekah and to my astonishment the blond vampire seemed to calm down. "And I was trying to give you time to have yourmoment."
I watch as Rebekah furrows her eyebrows obviously because she had never seen waiting to exhale. "You sure this will make me feel better?" she asked her blue eyes hopeful.
Despite myself I smiled sadly her way. "It's a step in the right direction." I muster and I guess that is all that she needed because soon she disappearing up the stairs while complaining about having nothing to wear.
I watch as Melissa follows claiming she was in need of a shower, and Kol who was not sneaky at all managed to follow close behind her. That just left me and Klaus, alone together.
Licking my lips I headed to the kitchen deciding that the fact that my husband was so quiet might be a bad thing so I decided to leave him alone. I knew Klaus liked to rule everything but I couldn't just sit around and let someone die because they had hurt Rebekahs feelings. Everyone got hurt sometimes and it was best to keep it moving. After retrieving a glass of orange juice. I felt heat run up my skin and knew that Klaus was close by.
Turning around I caught sight of Klaus who was sitting on the counter just watching me. For a moment I watched him watch me. I hated when people stared or just looked for too long without saying anything, it was weird and made me feel uncomfortable and Klaus of all people had known that.
"What?" I ask looking at him as he looks at me. His ocean blue eyes are bluer then I realized and I guess it shows on my face because soon I see ruby red lips hitching up into a half smile that I had heard drove legions of previous witches wild.
"What?" he asked hopping off the counter. He had to admit that he had been in slight awe of the way that Bonnie had taken to Rebekah quickly hearing her latest romance woe. In fact despite the fact that he wanted to tear that punk Matt to pieces, he was after all a waste of space, pathetically boring and his dear sister was way too good for the immortal boy. However he did have to thank him, for not for Matt breaking up with Bekah he wouldn't have seen it with his own two eyes, he was beginning to have the family he had always wanted. He had his wife who was beginning to soften towards him, his brother who was getting along much better with thanks to the help of a certain witch who had seemed to keep Kol content...dare he say happy and then he had Rebekah who was going to be the clue that helped bind them.
I tiled my head to the side and gave him a pointed look. I couldn't read his face or his eyes but his lips said everything else. "What?" I say again causing him to break out into a smile. "You've been staring at me for like five minutes, so whatever you have to say just go ahead and say it." I say surprised when suddenly Klaus is standing this close to me.
I open my mouth to say something, along the lines of personal space was needed when he spoke.
"Thank you for what you did for Bekah." He says bowing his head. " I don't take what you did lightly, what you and Melissa are doing lightly."
I smiled up at him. "Say no more." I say pausing. To be honest Rebekah and I had gotten a bit closer since our movie night. It seemed like whatever hostility that was between the two of us kind of faded, much like it did with Caroline. I guess everyone realized that we were all going to be together for quite a long time. We might as well bury that hatchet. "I'll tell you what I told Caroline, we're all going to be together for a long time, we're the only family each other has left," I say noting a flicker of light pass through his oceanic eyes. "We might as well act like it."
Without thinking he reaches out and links their fingers together, and marvels in the contrast of their skin colors. Bonnie was the best thing he ever had, and everything he had done, and would do, was all for them. "You really mean that don't you love?"
For a moment I was taken back by the softness of his voice, by the look that had flickered in his eyes. I knew Klaus was fond of me, he had told me so but their was something else that I couldn't quite name, maybe I was afraid to acknowledge it- but something was behind his blue eyes. "Y-yeah." I finally say as he places a kiss to my hand and then releases it. He keeps looking at me and then quirks a smirk.
"You should get going, you don't want to keep Bekah waiting." he says with a smile before leaving me stand alone in the kitchen to wonder, if we just shared a real moment?
DS-DS-DS
Damon
Damon Salvatore strolled into his favorite bar with a smile on his handsome face and a swag he had once thought was missing in his step. He still couldn't believe that had been three days since he had last been here, or three days since he had last seen Bonnie. A small smile came to his lips at the thought of Bonnie, she could run all she wanted but she couldn't hide from him not anymore. When she touched him, he saw everything...he knew everything.
Marching forward he made his way over to his favorite spot at the bar, which was front and center and waited patiently as his best friend continued to speak with other customers. Today would mark the first day in 72 hours since he had last been at the bar. After he had picked a fight with Klaus outside of the bar, Bree had been so upset with him for being so careless not only for his own life but potentially putting Bonnie in a bad situation with Klaus, she put him on a 72 hr suspension from the bar and she had meant it. He wasn't able to come within a ten-mile radius before an electric current went straight to his head and not the one on his shoulders.
He had to admit that Bree had been right, and he'd probably have to fess up sooner or later, call him childish but he was planning on letting the dirt settle before telling Bree she had been right and he Damon immortal stud was wrong. Clearing his throat, he waited to be noticed.
When Bree finally looked his way or rather glared her way he smiled and showed her the flowers he had gotten especially for her. "Flowers for the beautiful woman in my life," he says offering the bouquet to her.
Bree regarded him with a non to pleased look but accepted the flowers just as well. "Where'd you find these the hospital where some poor unfortunate soul just passed away or did you troll the cemetery again?" she threw a look over her shoulder before grabbing a pitcher filling it with water before placing the daisies in the mock vase. She turned again and faced her long time friend. Damon was going to drive her to start drinking hardcore with all of his childish antics, but she couldn't stay mad at him, he went after what he wanted even if at times it seemed a bit over dramatic for her taste.
He clutched his heart in mock shock. "I would never do such a thing..." he says barely keeping a straight face before breaking out into a grin, okay he would have done it, he had done it before but this time he didn't.
"Really Damon?" Bree said knowing better. She sent him a dark glare while Sam had passed through a look of annoyance on his features. Sam had loved the fact that Damon had been banned from the bar. In fact he had tried to use his power of persuasion in the bedroom to make the ban permanent but she had resisted simply because Damon was her best friend and without her he might not have a moral compass at all.
"Okay." He says holding his hands up in mock surrender. "I know I've done those things before but not today and just for you, I used my power of persuasion to get you some fancy flowers." He says winking. "And your welcome!"
She rolled her eyes. "So you compelled someone?" she asked dryly.
"No." He says flicking her nose with his finger. "I commented on the nice flowers and the girl just gave them to me, " he says grinning. "What can I say, ladies love me!"
She let out and soon turned her back to him while pouring him a drink. She did have to admit she had missed her friend the last 72 hours but he had deserved it, he was acting stupid and careless and so Damon like and she had specifically told him to turn that shit down. Whirling around she faced him. He looked, well he looked happy and that got her mind to thinking.
"So what happened with Bonnie?" she asked placing the glass in front of him.
He couldn't help but let out a sound, deep within his throat. "What makes you think something happen with Bonnie?" he asked trying to be nonchalant. A smile threatened to form on his lips and he bit the inside of his jaw to stop it, but failed. The truth was he hadn't spoken to Bonnie since the night she saved him, but what he felt when she healed him was enough to tide him over till the next time she graced him with her presence.
She leaned against the bar. "Because your smiling... and," pause. "Your... giggling." She whispered a bit freaked out and amused at the same time.
He shot her a dirty look. "I don't giggle." He said before thinking back to what happen. "I bet you've been thinking about what happen during my suspension haven't you?" he questioned a smirk on his lips. "It probably ate away at you like some sort of disease." He further spoke. "Your dying to know if she gave up the panties." He questioned while leaning on the counter. "And if I kept them."
She picked at her nails. "I don't beg so if you want to tell me something tell me." Bree said dryly.
He smiled again. "When Bonnie was healing me, I felt something..."
Frown. "Gross."
He shook his head, "Not that," he says quickly before grinning. "Okay maybe I felt that but that is beside the fact. I felt what she felt and she likes me!" he said almost as giddily as a teen boy who finally put his hand up the skirt of the girl he liked.
"That's good Damon!" she said smiling despite the situation.
She was really happy for him, but at the same time this was Damon and the one thing that scared her was that he'd go from zero to one hundred without even blinking. She could only hope that he could try and show some sort of patience and actually take her advice and go slow in his pursual of Bonnie. Of course Bonnie had liked Damon, he was a likable guy when he wasn't being a total tool but what Damon needed was something...someone who was in for the long haul and not to get confused with lust. That had been his problem with Elena, their were no real feelings aside from wanting to rip each others clothes off, they lacked substance. Damon deserved to have more then just animal attraction and good sex.
He sat back in his barstool as confidence rolled off of him. "Yeah well, what's not to like about me. Like I've said before, I've got the bluest eyes you've ever seen, im a handsome son of a gun and I'm hung like a horse." he says winking yet again.
Bree leaned closer. "Would you like me to remind you all the reasons I don't like you all the time." she said causing him to shake his head. "So what's the plan?"
He took a swig of bourbon. "Who said I had a plan."
She gave him yet another knowing look. "You always have a plan so spill."
He grinned. "See this is why I keep you around." he admits with a chuckle. "Knowone understands me like you do Bree."
"Damon"
"Ok." he says smirking. "My plan is to show her how desirable I am."
Bree furrowed her brows. This was such a Damon plan, try and make the girl jealous. "So your basically going to continue to whore yourself out and walk around naked." she blew out. "Hoping that one day she wont be able to take it and will ravage you." she says knowingly.
He folded his arms underneath his chest impressed. "You know me so well. I plan to do that and much more. I put a lot of my cards out on the table the other night, and I was slipping." he paused thoughtfully. He may have come off as desperate but really he just wanted Bonnie to see who she married, Klaus was the bad guy and he was determined to prove that. Of course that had caused Bonnie to push away from him, but at the end she ended up revealing her true feelings for him without even knowing.
"If I'm going to win the girl I'm gonna have to dial it down a little bit, it wont be so obvious that I want her but I will get under her skin as her friend of course." he says leaning back. He had watched Bonnie and Kol together they flirted all the time, in fact he had heard Kol tell Bonnie to blow him one day, they flirted but you knew it was harmless. He planned on flirting because well, that was him and whenever he could he would remind Bonnie of what they both felt when they first met. That instant attraction that heat, and mostly he would remind her that his blood saved her, and that its flowing throughout her sealing their fate.
BB-BB-BB
Hours later I was dressed and ready to party. It hadn't escaped me that I was spending valentines day without my husband and I hoped that for the sake of our friendship Klaus wouldn't bring it up either. We were good, and I wanted us to stay good for a while before hell broke loose. I still hadn't spoken to Stefan or Damon and I had to admit that it was making me feel a lit bit jittery. I was beginning to get use to always talking to them and being around them which was probably a good a bad thing, good because I was beginning to bond with my guardians, bad because I may get dependent. Already I felt heavily dependent on Stefan, as for Damon- I wasn't sure what I felt.
Walking out of the massive closet I wasn't surprised to see Klaus lounging on the bed a box a chocolates resting next to him while he all but posed for me. I gave him a look before going over to my jewelry box and retrieving a few items. In the reflection of the mirror I caught Klaus looking my way.
"I thought we agreed you would start knocking, so at least I'll know when your coming." I say turning around to catch a leer. Klaus stood up and walked my way almost predatory, when he was centimeters away he smiled.
"Trust me love, you always know when I'm coming, just as I know when your about to come." he says holding onto her hand right before she snatches it.
I glare his way and turn around to apply a fresh coat of red lipstick. I've chosen to wear a form fitting light seashell pink dress that is way above my knee. On my feet are a pair of peep toe sling backs that are literally to die for! I had to admit I was just as excited as everyone else to go out. I felt like, since I had married Klaus and met my guardians my whole world revolved around boys who were trying to get into my panties and I just wanted have to fun and forget about all of them.
Moving towards my jewelry box I retrieved my necklace that helped link me to my guardians. It was something that I wore all the time, as much as I wore my wedding ring and I always had to have it on- it made me feel safe. Looking up I caught eyes with Klaus and then within a blink of an eye he was close very close.
"Here let me help" Klaus says before walking behind me and securing the necklace that had helped tie me to the Salvatore brothers on my neck. I waited for him to move out of my personal space yet Klaus seemed content on just looking at me through the mirror image. Turning around I finally faced him, hoping he'd get the hint, in which he did but not before giving me a dimpled grin.
"Not that I'm surprised to see you lounging about my bedroom, but what brings you to my humble adobe?" I questioned. While turning back to the mirror as blush. "Don't tell me Rebekah and Melissa are waiting on me because-"
He chuckled. "Can't a husband come to see his wife without getting the third degree?" he questioned while walking about the expanse of her bedroom. He had hand picked this bedroom as hers, the moment she had agreed to marry him. Of course in the back of his mind, he had hoped that she may soften to sharing a bed with him, just like she had once shared her body-but baby steps. Since the date night she had let him hold her hand for longer then two seconds without snatching it away, she had also let him side beside her.
I turned around and sent him a withering look to which he just laughed, and for the life of me I started laughing too! I guess it was due to the testament that if you start hanging out with crazy you start acting crazy. It was only when he was now standing before me oceanic blue eyes questioning as he grasped onto my cheeks with his palms. For a moment I'm stunned silent as he thumb traces along my lips as if to keep the words that we both knew were bound to tumble out, locked away, if only for a few mere moments.
"You know Love," he says looking at her adoring face, as her forest green eyes turn every shade of green while looking at him. Her eyes were always so telling, he could tell what kind of mood she was in, simply by looking into them, and everytime he looked at her...really looked at her a piece of him truly became hers. She didn't know the effect she had on him, she made him feel like someone, like a man...a man in love. "I spent the better half of the night trying to figure out if you really meant what you said to me about family...if you're really doing this for Bekah or if perhaps your itching to put some space between the two of us?"
On their own accord my eyes drifted to his lips before looking up into those oceanic eyes. Klaus had made it perfectly clear what he wanted in our marriage, he wanted me. And where most girls would jump at the chance to be showered with gifts and words of love from the very handsome Niklaus Mikaelson I was running for the hills yet rooted in the same spot. I wasn't ready to fall in love, and I wasn't sure if I would ever truly be ready to love again, not the way he or Stefan, even Damon wanted me to.
I touched his chest as he leaned closer to me. He smelt fresh and so much like Klaus. It made my mind race as I thought about all the times he had been the only person I could turn to, what we would do and how being with him somehow made the world stop when it was spinning out of control. "Maybe it's a little bit of both, maybe I'm trying save us from the possibility of doom. " I say looking into those blue eyes.
He clicked his tongue, at her words and ran his hand along his jaw. "Since when are you afraid of a little darkness." he asked rested his hand on the vanity behind her. He had seen her at her darkest had helped her navigate through it relished in every moment they had spent together.
"I'm not afraid," I say looking dead at him as a swarm of memories assault my mind. Memories of skin against skin contact, pleasure and pain and the feeling of power that had surrounded the two of us. "I'm not afraid of you," I say again this time leaning closer to him. The air around us is what is always is, thick, the push and pull is what keeps us grounded. "I know who you are, and you know who I am." I say pausing. No matter what happen in the future or who my heart belonged to, Klaus would always be a part of my life. He had, in his own way helped me when I was in a dark place...a place I didn't want anyone else to know about and I would always be grateful.
He studied her movements and inclined his head to the side for a mere seconds. Even when she was shutting him down, trying to down play what they meant to each other, what she thought she meant to him, and what their marriage could be- she still managed to make him want her, and a future with her. She was everything that he was but so much better so much lighter. She was the light to his darkness, he needed her like humans needed air.
"And that love," He says while his hand drifts to the pocket of his trousers to retrieve the bracelet he had bought for her earlier. He had wanted her to wear it tonight, seeing as it was Valentines Day, but figured placing the bracelet on her pillow might prove to be a bit more romantic. He leaned closer to her. "Is the reason you're my wife and I'm your husband." he says sincerely.
He had wanted to kiss her but the sound of Rebekah's approaching figure had stopped him. Of course his dear sister was talking shit, calling him all sorts of names, mostly a love sick fool and that alone had stopped in tracks.
"Bonnie we're ready." Rebekah calls swinging open the door of my bedroom. She looks at me then looks at her brother and grins that Mikaelson grin, that you never know is used for good or evil.
I couldn't help but jump once my door swung open. I didn't even know why I bothered to keep the thing shut everyone walked into here like it was the sitting room, what ever happen to freaking boundaries. Oh yeah the ordinals had known, speaking of boundaries, Klaus was still pretty much painted on me like a second skin. I cleared my throat and he took a step back giving me air to breathe. He tended to fog up my senses.
He glared at his sister before taking yet another look at his wife. Without taking his eyes off of Bonnie he spoke to his sister. "Sister dear, I trust that you will keep an eye out for my wife." he says finally looking over at Rebekah who just winked his way.
"Of course Nik, now do us a big favor and get lost" she said motioning for him to go which he had done so but not before casting one last lingering look in the direction of his wife.
I watched as Klaus left Rebekah and I alone. She gave me a knowing look while I just rolled my eyes.
The original sister also known as the pouter of the family spoke with a touch of humor. "Come on love, you promised to show me a good night, and unlike my dear brother, I don't have the patience to wait until your ready. I plan on holding you to every single word that was uttered out of the pretty little mouth." Rebekah says before flouncing off.
I watched as Rebekah left the room all together and soon followed suit. Closing my bedroom door I headed for the stairs and was tugged into a nearby corner. Soon hands groped me and lips attacked my neck, despite knowing I should push him away I found myself getting lost in his touch. I tilted my head to the side as he sucked particularly hard on my flesh and when I closed my eyes I felt like I had been transported back in time, to a place...to a time when we were sneaking around.
My mouth opened as a tiny moan escaped soon soft lips collided with mine and it was then that I snapped out of my thoughts...my memories. Suddenly I pushed him away only to reveal and smirking Klaus.
"Just wanted to remind you of what your really missing love." he says affectionately. He had used his power as a vampire to get inside of her head and reenact a time when she couldn't get enough of him. It may have been a dirty trick but it at least lit a fire under her ass, and he got a chance to take a walk down memory lane as well. They were good together, she just needed to remember that and then nothing else would matter.
I shook my head at him. He had mind fucked me, how dare he! "Good night Klaus" I say not bothering to spare him another look before I fled to the stairs. Tonight I wasn't going to think about my boy problems, tonight was about showing Rebekah a good time. The boys in my life, excluding Kol could all kick rocks because time, was girls night!
