Okay, so Rebekah is here, and Klaus is NOT happy about it. Looks like another Original siblings fight...

Chapter 3: Welcome, Sister

A very angry Klaus burst through the front door, a meek Caroline in tow.

"Ok, where is Rebekah and why is she here?" he shouted, stomping down the foyer.

Suddenly a mop of messy blonde hair popped out from around the kitchen corner.

"Nik, if you are going to be rude, I suggest you do it to my face." Rebekah said, coming into Caroline and Klaus's full view.

"Last time I checked, sister, you should be looking after everything in Mystic Falls, should you not?" Klaus said, his voice pinched.

"I'm sorry, but staying in a small little town with no good stores was getting to me, so I decided to take a trip to New Orleans." Rebekah replied.

Then the youngest Original realized there was another face in the room.

"What is Mystic Falls Barbie doing in our home?" Rebekah said, using Damon's nickname for Caroline.

"I was invited here." Caroline said, holding up her hands in surrender.

"Okay, so my manipulative big brother can have his baby vampire friend over for a visit, but I can't say in my own families home without being scolded like a child!" Rebekah shouted furiously.

"Yes, I'd say that's true." Klaus said, snarling.

"Why do you make all the decisions on who goes where and when they go?" Rebekah said, clutching a wooden stake Caroline had not noticed before.

"Because, sweet Rebekah, I am the most power being in our family, so I am in charge." Klaus said, stating the obvious.

"Get over yourself already!" Rebekah screamed.

The wooden stake was flying straight at Klaus before Caroline could even blink. Suddenly, as like he a cue, Elijah came rushing in.

"Now, please, family. May we please settle this like civilized beings?"


A while later the Mikaelson family and Caroline were all seated around the kitchen table. Caroline was sipping a warm mug of B+, given to her by Klaus who evidently had a stash of bloodbags in the basement. The siblings were arguing about something, but she wasn't really paying attention. Instead, she was daydreaming about life back home. How was her mom, not knowing were her daughter really was? Caroline had left a note saying she was visiting Tyler in Maimi Beach, FL. She hated to lie to her mom, but she would never let her daughter go on a trip with a killer like Klaus.

How was Stefan? Elena choosing Damon had crushed him. She was the love of his life. Especially with his best friend Lexi gone back to the dead, he was even more vulnerable. Matt was probably fine, working his days out at the grill. Bonnie was most likely trying to be even stronger as a witch. Caroline soon realized that her friends pretty much great lives without her. Well, except for Stefan.

Caroline's thoughts were abruptly shattered when a voice asked her a question.

"Huh?" she said, looking startled.

"I said, how would you feel if Rebekah stayed, love?" Klaus asked, looking at her.

Caroline thought for a moment. She sort of felt for the poor sister.

"I would like to have a another girl around." Caroline said, shoulders slightly raised.

"Well, that settles it, I'm staying. Bye boys, thanks Caroline." Rebekah said, before zooming up the stairs.

"Caroline, how about me and you take a walk in the garden so I don't snap any of my siblings necks, hmm?" Klaus suggested, pulling Caroline up.

"Ok..." she replied willingly.


The sun was already setting when Klaus led her out to the gazebo.

"This place really is beautiful." Caroline said, looking around at the colorful flowers.

"Thats why I adore New Orleans. Color, lights, and a little danger." Klaus said, grinning.

Caroline rarely saw him smile. She liked it.

"So lets walk." Caroline said, pointing to the pathway that led through the garden.

"Of course." Klaus said, taking the girl's arm.

Caroline smiled. They walked through endless flower beds filled with roses, daisys, larkspur, and hydrangeas. Finally they arrived at the orchid bush and Caroline laughed.

"What is it, love?" Klaus said, looking a bit confused.

"It's just that purple orchids are my favorite." Caroline said, blushing.

"Here." Klaus said, handing her a branch of the flowers.

"Thank you." she said, giggling.

The pair wondered around until they reached the back of the house.

"I'm going to go ahead and go to bed, okay?" Caroline said, entering the house.

"Sweet dreams, love." Klaus said, kissing her hand.

Caroline smiled and climbed the stairwell.


When she got to her room and opened her door, she was surprised to see Rebekah on the bed with a copy of Vogue spread on her lap.

"Um, may I asked what you're doing in my room?" Rebekah asked, not looking up from the magazine.

"Klaus gave me this room." Caroline said, shifting her weight from one foot to the other.

"Excuse me, but this has been my bedroom since 1918." Rebekah said, sliding off the bed.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I guess Klaus didn't think you were going to be here so he gave it to me." Caroline said uncomfortably.

"Of course. Nik thinking I wouldn't show up." the Original sister walked to the closet and opened the door.

"I really am sorry." Caroline said, walking around to meet Rebekah's eyes.

The blonde shut the door.

"Stop apologizing for my stupid brothers actions." Rebekah snapped.

"Ok." Caroline said, looking hurt.

"I'm sorry Caroline, its just everybody apologizies for Niks actions. For his fights, his kills, his little reckless streakst. Even Elijah covered for him with the Hayley catashrophe." Rebakah said, walking to the bathroom.

Caroline cocked her head, confused.

"He hasn't told you has he?" Rebekah breathed, realizing what she had just done.

"What are you talking about?" Caroline asked, trying to understand.

"I've said to much." and with that, Rebekah slammed the bathroom door, blocking Caroline from sight.


REBEKAH HAS SPILLED! Caroline is on to Klaus's secret! How will she approach him about it? I can't wait to write it!
