Chapter 12
thank you very much! to my reviewers i love caroline and i would never underestimate her! as you said she is awesome! hope you enjoy Klaus's fight in this chapter :)
I take a deep breath as Klaus steps into the ring and subconsciously move closer to Kol, it's weird that I feel like he's my safety net like I can trust him. It's not so much that I don't trust Elijah, it's more like I feel a kinship with Kol I know he has my back and I have his in return. Klaus stands in the ring as tall as any King and to these people he is a king, the original family are royalty. So what does that make me? I'm drawn from my thoughts as Marcel steps into the ring his huge smile still on display.
'Fellow vampires are you READY!' he shouts at the crows to which there is a resounding YES!
'Klaus are you READY!' he says pointing to Klaus just smirks giving a short nod, looking to all the world like he's strolling through a supermarket or something equally ridiculous, I roll my eyes when he looks at me, am I supposed to be impressed?
'Alec are you READY!' the huge hulk like guy who I'm assuming is Alec gives a short grunt before crouching in some weird martial art position. I look to Klaus who doesn't seem fazed by the move and remains unmoving. I look to Elijah who smirks at me, WHAT? I turn to Kol a thousand questions in my eyes but he just smiles wickedly.
'Remember the rules' Marcel says 'no fangs no speed, we can't do anything about strength' he says trailing off causing a few vampires to chuckle.
'I'm pretty sure Nik's plan is that you enjoy this darling' Kol whispers to me chuckling.
'BEGIN'
Klaus gives a taunting smirk at Alec who charges him preparing to tackle him, Klaus waits for the last minute and moves to the side just a little sticking his shoulder out a bit, the effect is that Alec looks like he's run straight into a wall he falls straight onto his back. He's up too quickly though and jabs at Klaus with his right arm, he grabs it and twists it into his back brining his arm behind him he forces him to his knee's as Alec groans in pain. Klaus delivers a swift kick to his back sending him sprawling on the floor. As the fight continues the way Klaus fights surprises me I'd assume that he would be on the offensive what with being the oldest and most powerful creature alive, I'd assumed that he would want to end it quickly to prove himself. However, he is very different he is strictly on the defensive and simply blocks every attack made by Alec, on the outside he looks bored but I can't tell by his eyes that he is enjoying this; he's having fun taunting him making him think that he has a chance before swiftly rebuking him. It's a powerful display and I'd be lying if I said It didn't affect me, Kol's words make sense now. Klaus knew seeing him like this would make me feel darker things for him make the animal inside me cry out with longing, the same animal that inhibited me earlier making me declare Klaus as mine. I narrow my eyes at the thought, suddenly glad I got in a fight earlier glad that it did the same thing to him. Two can play at that game.
I'm drawn out of my inner monologue by that sound of screeching and I see Klaus his hand wrapped around Alec's throat, the crowd are going wild some begging Alec to get up and other cheering Klaus on to finish it. Klaus simply presses harder and harder until I hear a pop and Alec falls lifeless. The crowd go mad but quickly fall silent when Marcel steps into the ring to declare him winner. As if there would ever be any other outcome I think. Klaus makes his way over to me collecting his Henley from Elijah on the way and shrugging it on, such a shame all that flesh had to be covered I think. Klaus smirks letting me know he's aware of my thoughts.
'do I get that kiss now sweetheart' he says stepping closer and winking.
'how about later' I say motioning to the crowd around us there are just too many people.
'I'll hold you to that' he says mischievously.
'brother I think it's time we left, things are getting a bit uncouth' Elijah says cooling looking at something over the top of the crowd that I can't see.
Klaus lifts his head sniffing in distain before shooting a wary glance and me and nodding to Elijah. We head towards the exit and I'm surprised when Marcel stops us still grinning wildly. He gives Klaus a quick man hug they talk for a minute and Marcel expresses his thanks to Klaus again before he steps back and looks at me.
'and you! Full of surprises aren't you honey' he says laughingly i glare at him.
'still feisty' he says amused 'I thought you didn't want her to fight' he says to Klaus who just shrugs giving a little grin. Marcels words from earlier rush back to me and it all makes sense now; I glare at Klaus. I can pick my own battles thank you very much, however the monster inside me isn't irate like I expected. She's purring she likes his protection. Weird.
'I never said she couldn't' Klaus says his grin widening as I reluctantly let a grin of my own slip free, he didn't doubt me he just wanted to keep me safe, Marcel watches the exchange curiously.
'well I suppose you have to be able to handle yourself if your hanging around with the original brothers' he says bemused my grin widens as Kol loops his arm around my shoulders, I smile up at him. I miss the glare that Klaus shoots our way and the amusement Elijah and Marcel seem to be getting from the situation. I grab Klaus's hand to try and get his attention and his face softens.
'can we go now' I ask bored.
'of course love' Klaus says softly to me.
Klaus quickly wraps things up with a suspicious Marcel and before I know it were in the car on the way home. I get in the back so I can talk to Kol on the way back, after my display earlier Klaus calmed down towards Kol I think he understood that we were friends. Me and Kol are talking about everything from books to clubs to wild adventures, completely oblivious to the two in the front listening to us with smiles over our bonding. Finally, we come to the topic of movies and I'm outraged!
'you've never seen so many good movies! You don't even know who Keanu Reeves is he's like the best action movie guy!' I exclaim loudly at Kol
'I was daggered darling I didn't exactly have a lot of time to catch up' he remarks wryly.
'we have to remedy this!' I say outraged 'movie night!' I say excited to Kol.
'I'm there darling, I'll bring the bourbon tonight?' he says looking excited as well.
'let's do it!' I say smiling hugely.
'Klaus you have to come!' I say remembering them in the front seat 'we can do duvets and pillows and snacks!' I say mentally planning it.
Klaus looks shocked but quickly grins at me agreeing, as I also invite Elijah.
'we need snacks and everyone has to bring their duvet!' I say thinking clearly laying down the rules, Elijah looks slightly disgruntled but agrees nonetheless I smile at them all excited.
'I'll get the snacks Caroline, anything in particular' Elijah says looking like he's taking his job very seriously.
'get her some chocolate, biscuits, marshmallow, and Rice Crispies' Klaus chirps up and I can't see his face but Elijah nods seriously.
'Klaus will sort out the something to watch the films on and I'll get the films' I say chirpily 'sorry Elijah but we need something to watch them on' he nods his head good naturedly Kol looks very happy indeed.
We arrive at the mansion and we agree to meet back here in an hour. I quickly head home and grab the DVD's I want I grab John Wick, Constantine and all the Harry Potter's, a perfect night we can do this and all-nighter! I'm excited. I pop them into a bag and grab my thickest duvet off my bed and then I pop both in the car before taking a quick shower and changing into some comfy sweats and a big jumper, I put on some fluffy socks and then slip my slippers over the top; before getting in the car and heading over to Klaus's.
I walk straight in and stop dead when a voice exclaims loudly.
'well don't you look cosy'
Anddd I'm stopping there I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter as always please READ AND REVIEW! J
