Chapter Two: Re-Introductions
Caroline wandered around the house aimlessly, looking at photos, opening drawers. She didn't think Klaus would mind her curiosity. She had already found that the house had four bedrooms, all decorated in bright, crisp colors. But she was still looking for Klaus's room. For some reason, she wanted to see what the big bad hybrid hid in his room. Probably tons of paintings and sketches. Nothing big. Soon her exploring was cut short.
"Caroline,love,where are you?" Klaus's voice rang throughout the house like bells.
"I'm up here!" she shouted, standing at the top of the stairs.
Klaus vampire speed up the first flight of stairs until he was five down from Caroline.
"I have someone who would like to see you, sweetheart." Klaus said, extending his hand to escort her down stairs.
Caroline carefully took it. She was a bit concerned over who Klaus wanted her to see, but when she got downstairs, a familar face greeted her.
"Elijah." She said, greeting the eldest Original brother.
"Miss Caroline." Elijah said, taking Caroline's hand and placing a slight peck on it.
"What are you doing in New Orleans?" Caroline asked, tilting her head.
"I would like to ask the same of you." Elijah said keenly.
"I came because Klaus offered a first class ticket, so I said why not?" Caroline said innocently.
"That's why me, you, and my dear brother need to sit down and have a talk..."
After sitting in the living room of the townhouse for an hour and a half, Caroline had been told the back story of Klaus in New Orleans, Marcel, the crazy rules and huge vampire population. Klaus and Elijah had purposely left out the mentioning of Hayley and her child, to spare Caroline some peace before hell came to earth.
"So what you are saying is there is a crazy vampire named Marcel who Klaus created and trained, who has a massive vampire army thing, plus he thinks he owns New Orleans?" Caroline asked.
"I think you hit everything, love." Klaus said, standing up.
"Oh, I got everything." Caroline said sarcastically.
"Now I believe we have dinner reservations at the pier, do we not?" Klaus said, changing the subject.
"We do, but I am not going until BOTH of you promise I'll be safe." Caroline said, waging her finger at the Original brother.
"You will." they vowed at the same time.
"Hmph." she said and trudged back upstairs.
Caroline decided to re-curl her golden locks, mostly because they have suffered through a long plane ride and Klaus drama. Her makeup was smudged too, so she redid that as well. She decided against wearing jeans and pulled on a baby blue sundress that was on top of her suitcase. A jean jacket slighty wrinkled from the plane ride covered up her bare arms, and her boots stayed where they were.
When she got downstairs, Klaus was waiting by the door. He was dressed in his usual grey henly with dark wash jeans. He had added a leather jacket for a touch of class. Outside, a blue convertible sat in the driveway, top down and ready to ride.
"So, no limo this time?" Caroline, a frown on her face.
"Sorry love, but this is a smoother ride." Klaus said, opening the passenger door.
Caroline rolled her eyes at his gentlemanly gesture, and plopped herself in the seat.
Klaus smiled and went around to the driver's side. The sun was still up, so he slid on a pair of aviators, shielding his ice-blue eyes from view.
"Oh, come on. You get sunglasses and I don't?" Caroline said, small pout on her face.
"Dont worry, I'll buy you any pair you want." Klaus said, backing the car out of the drive and turning into the street.
After driving a few miles, they pulled into a parking lot filled with cars.
"Where are we?" Caroline asked Klaus, looking around curiously.
"My favorite place in New Orleans to eat shrimp." Klaus said, smiling.
"No way." Caroline said, staying in the car.
"Aren't you hungry?" he asked, slighty confused.
"Yes, but I hate seafood." she whined.
"Unless you want to dine on innocent humans, I suggest you come along." Klaus said, raising his voice.
Before Caroline could snap back a rude comment, Klaus's phone went off.
"Stay here." he told Caroline.
"Hello." Klaus said turning away.
"Brother, I afraid we may have another guest arriving." Elijah sighed on the other line.
"Who?" Klaus replied, letting out a deep breath.
"Rebekah."
Klaus hung up before his brother could continue.
"Well, looks like we are going to eat at the house tonight." he said, frustrated.
Caroline tilted her head and looked at him.
"My darling sister has decided to join us."
So, Rebekah is baaaaccckkk. I'm hoping she will play a part in the Hayley dilemma, but only time will tell! Hopefully I will have a new chapter tomorrow!
