Chapter 6
Longest chapter yet! Enjoy sweethearts
I wake up to a delicious scent enveloping me it's like the woods and it smells like, I don't know how to it explain it, like a primal wild smell my body hungers for it. I open my eyes to see myself clinging to Klaus, my arms and legs wrapped around him like I'm scared he'll break if they aren't there, his strong arms are around my back and in my hair his thighs snugly between mine. I look up to his face to see his eyes are still closed and I try to remember how this happened. The memories rush to the forefront of my mind making me groan and Klaus chuckles startling me, I didn't realise he was awake. He looks down at me cheerfully.
'I was waiting to see what your reaction would be' he explains looking at me still bemused.
'I'm sorry Klaus I was just cold and I didn't even think about it I was just seeking heat and you were hot' I tried to explain blushing and then realising what I said with the 'hot' comment and blushing harder.
'not like that' I glare at him and watch him pathetically try to not laugh.
'you can use me as your own personal hot water bottle anytime you like sweetheart' Klaus says winking. 'I did rather enjoy when you brought my arm between your legs and clung to me like a monkey it was rather amusing sweetheart, it was a night of firsts I must admit'
I desperately try to stop blushing as his eyebrows wiggle and I can tell he is remembering the blood sharing and perhaps the tucking in.
'I need to get up I have school' I groan untangling myself from him and hopping from the bed to go over to my wardrobe. I pick out my clothes and lay them on the recently abandoned sofa followed by socks, and just when I'm about to lay down underwear I turn back to see Klaus lounging in my bed hands behind his head looking adorably ruffled and sleepy, and yet still smirking at me, I glare at him and grab my clothes before storming to the bathroom to get ready for my day. I remerge sometime later to find Klaus sitting on my now made bed looking much more refreshed. He has the tele turned on low to some business channel, but he turns it off and to face me as soon as I come in, his smile is refreshing and I gift him with one of my own.
'coffee' I ask turning to go to the kitchen
'actually sweetheart I'd better be off, you have school after all and I wouldn't want to make you late' Klaus says giving me a small smile.
'oh okay, we'll have a good day' I smile back as I follow him to the door.
'enjoy school today sweetheart, thank you again Miss Forbes for a wonderful evening the company was exquisite, very refreshing' Klaus says his eyes betraying his merriment making him look younger.
'thanks again for keeping me company Mr Mikaelson' I say leaning in to give him a hug. I hug all my friends so it's not weird right? It's not oddly comforting. No not at all just another every day, great smelling totally normal hug, with the original hybrid I just spent the better part of my night being cuddle buddies with. I break the hug and pull away loving the expression on Klaus' face before he flashes away.
Awesome day so far.
Klaus
'ah Nik doing the walk of shame so early are we, I thought you didn't normally resurface until noon brother' Kol exclaims loudly as I walk through the door.
'hello Kol, where is Elijah?' I ask making my way to the kitchen for a blood bag before going to my study, Kol follows me the whole while.
'probably ironing his suits' Kol snorts 'am I not good enough for you' Kol says trying to look indignant.
I ignore him grabbing my sketch book and sitting down in my armchair sipping from my blood bag. After last night I have images of Caroline I have to draw, her laughing, her expression while she was talking about being tucking in, and then that beautiful fire in her eyes afterwards. She's beautiful and intriguing I can't remember the last time someone captured my attention like she does, her light drew me to her but I can sense her darkness too; and yet I know one will never outweigh the other I'll never let her light become tainted. When she fed from me last night I was in heaven her vampire face was angelic and those fangs felt wonderful buried in my neck I longed to sink mine into her too, for our vampire halves to properly meet, but she wasn't ready for that yet although she did seem comfortable with my wolf, she smelled wonderful to all of us and I'll bet she tasted even better. I groan from the memory adjusting myself.
'so were you last night then Nik because if I'm not mistaken I detect the scent of a certain blond covering you, maybe you need the blood bag to replenish I know you prefer fresh, it must be a desperate situation' Kol say wiggling his eyebrows.
'yes Niklaus I was wondering where you got to last night I thought we were going hunting' Elijah says entering the room immaculately dressed as always, raising an eyebrow at me.
I groan its becoming an inquisition. 'I was busy last night brothers' I say glaring.
'busy doing what Nik, or should I say who?' Kol says smirking.
'it wasn't like that Kol, nothing sordid happened' I say defensively.
'and yet you've just returned home' Elijah says suspiciously.
'and you're not denying letting her feed from you' Kol chirped in.
'we're friends' I say glaring and standing up
'you have a friend' Klaus says pretending to die of shock
I glare and flash out returning to my room, I need to shower and then hunt a blood bag will only suffice for so much. I return downstairs showered and ready to leave Kol and Elijah are still in the study discussing whatever it is they are discussing all I catch is a 'but you've never tried it' shouted indignantly from Kol at Elijah's disgusted face. I'm about to interrupt when I feel my phone buzz.
Are you busy after school? Caroline
I smile down at my phone before texting her a quick reply asking her if she wants me to pick her up, grinning when she sends a quick okay, I don't have last period so I'll be finished in 20mis? I smile again my day brightening. I look up to find my brothers smirking at me identically, I scowl choosing to ignore them.
'I'm going out' I say shortly
'where you going Nik can we come' Kol says mischievously.
'no' I say shortly walking out I get into my black range rover and start the car.
'get out of the car 'I say noticing Elijah next to me and Kol in the back seat.
'why Niklaus, have you got something to hide?' Elijah says inquisitively.
'I'm picking up a friend and I doubt they want to see you two' I say vaguely
'if she and I'm assuming it's a she, I'm also assuming it's that lovely blond thing from the grill, can put up with your brooding, I'm sure she can deal with us' Kol snipes.
'shut up Kol, or I'll tear out your intestines and feed them to you, now get out of the BLOODY CAR' I say my voice rising.
'I think it's time I meet the women who seems to have entrapped both of my brothers' Elijah says smoothly.
I give up and start driving, I'm going to be late to get Caroline otherwise.
'why aren't you in school today, Kol I thought you'd taken to going and bringing home cheerleaders' I snarl at him
'I'm bored there Nik no one is any fun anymore, you've had one cheerleader you've had them all' Kol pouts
'must you be so crass Kol' Elijah drawls
I can't help but think to myself yet again how nice it must be to be an only child.
Caroline
I walk out of school and look around from Klaus, I'm only waiting a moment when I see a black range rover screech round the corner. I can hear more than one person in the car and I hear a distinctly amused voice saying 'look Nik we got here in perfect time' and then am all too familiar growl. Then I see the car stop and an irritated Klaus get out and make his way towards me.
'hello love' Klaus says simply
'hello their mister grumpy, what's got you all rattled' I chirp happily.
'my siblings have decided to annoy me, and are currently in the car sweetheart' Klaus grumbles with an unhappy expression on his face, glancing back at the car.
'don't worry, I can handle myself' I smirk wickedly before getting in the backseat of the car.
I hear an amused chuckle from Klaus before he gets in the driver's seat. Kol smirks at me as I get in, but Elijah just gives me an inquisitive look from the front mirror.
'Hi Kol' I say hesitantly.
'well hello darling, nice to see you again' Kol says winking at me.
'Kol' Klaus says through clenched teeth.
'I'm only joking mister grumpy' Kol says lightly.
I chuckle quietly as Klaus grips the steering wheel tighter.
'so where are we going' I inquire
'where do you want to go love' Klaus says looking at me in the mirror
'wherever, what were you going to do before you came to get me?' I say easily.
'I was going hunting love, but I can go later, we can go back to my house?' Klaus questions, his eyes burning into mine at the first part, and I blush remembering last night my fangs itch remembering his blood and when his eyes go darker I realise that he knows what I'm feeling.
'you can still go hunting, I haven't hit the blood bank in ages' I say challengingly.
'I think Nik was thinking of something a little fresher darling, and distinctly more feminine' Kol says chuckling at me.
'Kol' Klaus growls threateningly knowing how I feel about feeding from women, compelling them messing with their memory continuously, it reminds me of when I was weak and the memories are not pleasant.
'it's alright, I know how you Mikaelson's are' I mutter irritatingly, before an evil idea forms in my mind 'but I suppose when you can't do anything else, you have to rely on what you can do' I say challengingly.
'what do you mean by that Miss Forbes' Elijah says speaking for the first time, his voice betraying his amusement.
'nothing Elijah' I say innocently.
'yes love, what are you trying to say' Klaus says narrowing his eyes at me.
'just that you Mikaelson's all do fine with women' I say stressing the word.
'are you implying that we've never sampled men' Elijah says mock seriously.
'I'm not saying never; however, I will give you a dare' I say turning to Klaus smirking.
'is this a game now sweetheart, tit for tat love I'll accept your dare if you accept one of mine' Klaus says allowing a slight smirk to grace his face.
I think about it thinking about all of the horrible things the original hybrid could dare me to do, and how I didn't trust the look in his eyes right then. However I realised I did trust him, and this was an opportunity for him to prove to me that he had earned that trust.
'alright' I say bravely to the now three smirking Mikaelson's.
'so what's the dare then sweetheart' Klaus says confidently
And that's where I leave you guys hope you enjoyed this chapter, sorry about the cliff-hanger and any mistakes I hope you guys love the dare!
