Chapter 8

'okay Kol gimme your best shot' I say daringly.

'I dare you to tell us what happened with you and Nik last night, rather mild I know but I find myself curious, my brother had never been one to kiss and not tell and I hate feeling like I'm missing out on something' Kol says mischievously, ignoring Klaus' growl 'ah ah ah Nik no retaliation' Kol chirps.

'I never remember promising that' Klaus' glowers menacingly.

'If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear Nik'

'Sweetheart you don't have to answer that, please ignore my brother we think something went wrong with him during the transition' Klaus's says angrily.

All eyes are on me and I feel myself blush thinking about last night, Klaus smirks at me remembering and the other original brothers regard us curiously.

'I never could back down from a dare' I say looking at Klaus remembering me and him outside the grill, he smirks back wider and I have the urge to wipe that stupid attractive smirk right off his stupid attractive face.

'Sorry to disappoint Kol but we just hung out watched movies, payed some Uno and then went to sleep'

'ah darling, but is sleep all that happened I know your leaving something out I want details, who slept where? There is no way it is as innocent as that; I've never known Nik to just, how did you put it hang out with a woman' Kol snipes.

'That was pretty much it' I mumble

'Hey! I earned this answer darling, I thought you never backed down from a dare'

'FINE! I fed from him and we slept in the same bed, but nothing sexual happened' I say quickly

'I knew it' Kol cheers triumphantly 'and where exactly did you feed from darling' he says wiggling his eyebrows.

'that's enough Kol' Klaus interrupts menacingly.

'his neck' I mumble looking down at my empty Tumblr.

'interesting Niklaus' Elijah says suddenly involved in the conversation, both him and Kol are now smirking at Klaus, who for the first time actually looked uncomfortable.

'I need another drink' I say hastily getting up from the table and breaking the weird Mikaelson brother tension I'm in the middle of.

I wander over to the now busy bar and flag down the bartender, reordering my drink I look up into the amused eyes of the bartender who is surprisingly attractive, light blond hair and sparkly blue eyes.

'That's an old drink for someone so young' he says mixing my drink smiling at me.

'you flatter me, I loom younger than I am' I say smiling at him and accepting my drink and pulling out my money.

'this one's on me pet' he says giving me a flirty smile.

'thanks…' I say smiling back.

'Kyle' he says offering his hand.

'Caroline' I say offering mine.

'scotch neat' a low voice interrupts us.

Kyle nods at me and leaves to get Klaus his drink, I look over at him sweetly and I'm stunned to see the anger in his eyes.

'I think I've picked who I'll feed from love' Klaus says glaring at Kyle's back

'Really him?' I ask feeling sorry for poor Kyle.

'Anything wrong with that sweetheart' Klaus says daringly.

'no'

Kyle returns handing Klaus his drink, and Klaus compels him to take his break a little early and meet us over at our booth. We return with our fresh drinks to Kol and Elijah, Klaus sits down anger making his jaw stiff and without thinking about it I reach up to touch it watching him soften under my touch, just as Kyle turns up at our table looking confused as to why he is there.

'ah Kyle mate take a seat and stay quiet' Klaus says his eyes dilating as he gestures to the seat beside him.

Kyle sits down as Klaus turns to face the inquisitive glances of Kol and Elijah. He ignores them turning to give me a dark look before tuning to Kyle; surprisingly he gently moves his head to the side before lifting his head hybrid face fully exposed and staring at me, I run my finger over the veins under his eyes smiling at the wolf on display, I rub my thighs together to ease the ache that is beginning there Klaus looks wild like this and it reminds me of last night and how good his body felt undermine. I swear he smirks at me but it's hard to tell what with the fangs and all, although I am pretty sure that he knows what he's doing. Klaus turns to Kyle keeping eye contact with me before burying his fangs in his neck, I inhale deeply and shakily something about this is so erotic and it makes me shiver. All too soon the moment is over and Klaus releases Kyle letting his hybrid features fade into a wicked panty dropping smirk, a I feel myself melt a little and a lesser woman would have jumped him, I restrain myself and only inch closer to him panting shallowly. Klaus pricks his finger on a fang and heals the wound on Kyle's neck, before finally breaking our eye contact to compel Kyle to leave and forget, letting the rest of the world filter into my head and I'm suddenly reminded of where we are.

'well played brother' Elijah drawls looking at Klaus.

Klaus nods at him still smirking before turning his attention to me, I avoid his gaze looking at Kol.

'I'm bored' Kol whines dissipating the tension.

'Why don't you go and get us a drink then brother' Elijah says smoothly.

Kol leaves grumbling to himself about undeserving siblings and sexual tension and how awful a certain raven hair vampire tastes.

'it's just you left now Lijah' Klaus says boldly.

'so it seems Niklaus, although you have earned your dare wouldn't you like to use it'

'I can wait brother' Klaus look's impatient for Elijah to become as uncomfortable as him and Kol have been.

'well then, who shall I have brother, or perhaps you'd like to choose Miss Forbes' Elijah says surveying the dance floor.

I look to Klaus and then out on the dance floor and my attention is drawn to an overweight guy wearing tiny shorts, his hair was blond and spiky short and he was wearing a tank top that was rainbow coloured, he was obviously gay and had a lot of eyeliner on. I thought about Elijah and his suits and prim and proper attitude, maybe this guy could make him chill out a bit and relax. I look to Klaus and point with my eyes to the guy, Klaus gets a little grin on his face and nods minutely.

'what about him' I say to Elijah pointing at the guy I've chosen.

Elijah visibly recoils, before turning to me and Klaus to see us wearing matching grins. He stands up and we watch him make his way slowly over to the guy, he taps him on the shoulder and says something to him before leading him back to our booth. Elijah sits down and the other guy sits in his lap, Elijah's face morphs into something like revulsion as me and Klaus try to stifle our laughter. Elijah glares at us before baring the man's neck and sinking his fangs in, his feed is quick and on Elijah's part there is a clinical aspect to it. The man on his lap however begins to squirm and moan and Elijah quickly stops and heals him before compelling him and sending him on his way. By this point I'm laughing hard and Klaus is smiling hugely beside me, Elijah sends us both cool glares.

'was that sufficient Miss Forbes' Elijah asks blankly.

I have to wait a minute to stop my laughter and when I've finally composed myself I say.

'please Caroline and that was more than sufficient, I think some might say it was even enjoyable' I manage to force out before I'm keeled over in laughter again.

'alright Caroline, now it's your turn I believe' Elijah says amused as my laughter dies.

Finally having managed to gain my compose I mutter 'what can I do for you Elijah'

'I wish to know why you don't feed from the vein, it's rare for a vampire of your age to have the control necessary not to let alone the want to too begin with, I wish to know why and how' Elijah says regarding me suspiciously.

'I don't want to hurt people, to be a monster' I say quietly.

'then how do you stop yourself' Elijah says imploringly.

'I know what it's like to be fed from to be scared and confused and not understand, to feel like a part of your mind is missing, to wake up with bruises and bites and have no idea how they got there. Your unable to speak about it but you don't know why, if I hadn't been turned I would have lost my sanity. So when I was turned I knew I could never do that to a person, I'd never make them my plaything as if they were nothing; I've never played with someone's life and I never will. I don't want to be a monster' as I come to the end of my speech my words become broken.

Elijah looks at me with fire in his eyes, he looks unhappy and yet impressed proud almost. Klaus looks ready to tear off heads, his expression is murderous and yet I can't help but notice it softens when my eyes meet his. His jaw is so tight it could cut glass.

I try to break the tension 'anyways I was always a bit of a control freak as a human, and as a vampire I used it for something worthwhile, I'm proud of my control hunting animals helps and Stefan is a great hunting buddy' I chuckle remembering our first hunt.

The tension broken, both Klaus and Elijah allow a small smile at that.

'wolfy is quite a nice hunting buddy as well' I say looking pointedly at Klaus, his smile getting bigger as we reminisce.

'wolfy? You wound me love'

It was hard to end it there but it had to be done for a quick update, please review guys let me know what you think and if you have any ideas on what Klaus should dare caroline, I have some ideas but I'd also really like to hear yours. Anyway enjoy J
