"I read off the internet that Elijah Mikaelson lives here.. Do you know where I can find him?"
Katherine raised her eyebrow. She was surprised that this young girl was looking for Elijah. She suddenly felt an urge of protectiveness over her husband and snapped at the girl, "Who the hell are you? What do you want with my husband?"
The young girl's eyes widened at the older woman's outburst. She suddenly wanted to fly back to where she came from and hide under her bed. I knew this was a bad idea, she thought. She knew she had to think of a lie of why she was looking for Elijah.
"Uhm.. I need a lawyer, and I heard he was the best in Mystic Falls.. I'm so sorry to bother you." Her voice was squeaky and she immediately regretted ever opening her mouth. Ever getting on that plane. Ever looking through those files. She realized she wasn't going to get anywhere, so she turned her body and started to walk away.
"Wait." Katherine said. She knew that if there was a time to start being rude, and start being nicer and helping people, now is the time. She knew she was going to regret this, but that didn't stop her from opening her mouth. "Elijah isn't here right now. If you want, you can come back tomorrow to speak to him? Right now he's at The Grill with his siblings-"
"Wait, all of his siblings?"
"Yes.. Anyway, when he gets home, I can tell him he has a meeting tomorrow."
"That won't be necessary!" The girl suddenly knew she had to go to The Grill. They were all there. Instead of talking to one, maybe all would be better. "Thank you for your help!" And the girl flew down the driveway as fast as the speed of light, down the way she saw a big sign saying The Grill.
Katherine stared at the girl running away in shock. "Okayyyy. That was weird." She wondered what that was all about. Who just comes to someone's door looking for them and then runs away acting all strange and... Whatever, she shrugged. I paused The Hunger Games for this, that girl owes me some oreos. She closed the door and went back to her chair and continued her quiet night in.
...
"So.. How's the wedding planning coming?" Bonnie asked her friend as they leaned against the counter. The two were working the last shift at The Grill, and well, there weren't many customers remaining, besides the five Mikaelson siblings. The large family didn't seem to need anything, as they were sitting on the other side of the café, talking in hushed voices. Matt and Bonnie had been glancing over at them all night, and while they're sure they've stopped talking about their mother and started talking about random things, the two old friends couldn't help but be worried. When the last of the customers had left, they had quickly cleaned up the place and since they had about 20 minutes before closing time, they decided just to relax behind the bar counter and talk.
Matt laughed. "It's going good. How's Emma?"
"She's great. She's spending the weekend with Jeremy."
Before the conversation could continue, Bonnie's phone started ringing. She pulled out her phone and the called ID said Elena.
She gave an apologetic look to the blonde before answering the phone.
"Hey, I'm kind of working right now."
"Well, this cannot wait. We have a major problem."
"What? What's wrong!?" She worried something had happened to Emma, or Jeremy, or Chris, or even Damon.
"Guess who I bumped into earlier today."
Bonnie's heartrace slowed down. So nothing serious happened. "Who?"
"Kai Parker."
Her heartrace said gotcha and started beating harder and harder again.
"What?"
"He's back."
"No no no no no. He can't be! He's supposed to be in jail!"
Matt looked over at her and raised an eyebrow. His face showed both confusion and worry. She mouthed Kai's back. His eyes widened in fear. His mind went through thoughts like you've got to be kidding me and shit, we've had enough of drama this past few weeks.
"Apparently he got out!"
"Well what the hell is he doing in Mystic Falls?"
"I don't know! All I know is that he's back. And he might be up to something."
"Of course he is. He's Kai!" She sighed. "This is really bad."
"I'm really sorry I'm just telling you now. I didn't know what to say. Damon is trying everything he can to figure out why he's back. For now, the best thing we can do is get a restraining order on him. Damon and Enzo are working on one for you and me right now. But Bonnie.. I'm scared."
"Me too," she agreed. "But that's good about the restraining order."
"Yeah."
"Thank you for telling me. I have to go now, though."
"No problem. Listen Bon.. Please be careful."
"You too. I love you."
"Love you, too. Bye." And then the call ended.
Matt gave his friend a worried look. He lowered his voice, "What the hell was that? Kai's back?"
"I guess so."
"Oh my god."
"I know, this is so bad. As if our lives weren't complicated enough. What's with people coming back into our lives?"
"I mean, Tyler was fine because he's our best friend, but all these other people, it's enough." Matt glanced at the five siblings across the room, who were no longer talking at their table, but instead laughing while playing a game of darts. "What are you going to say to Kol?"
"He doesn't even know anything about my past with Kai."
Matt raised his eyebrow. "He doesn't?"
"Nope, and I'm going to try to keep him in the dark as much as I can."
"Bon, you can't do that. He deserves to know that this psycho is back in town."
"Excuse me?" A voice from behind the counter interrupted the two best friends' conversation.
Matt gave Bonnie a look that said they'll finish this conversation later. He turned to the girl and smiled,
"How may I help you?" He then gave her a look over and asked, "Aren't you a bit too young to be here so late?"
"Matt, don't give the poor girl the third degree," Bonnie elbowed her friend a little too hard.
"Uhm, I was just looking for Elijah Mikaelson and his siblings," the girl answered.
The music had been changing so there was a silent pause in the almost vacant café. Since the Mikaelsons were now playing darts, which was near the bar, they had heard the girl say she was looking for them. All five heads had turned in that direction, confusion and curiosity shown across their faces.
Bonnie and Matt shared a look of confusion.
Elijah started walking towards the girl. "I'm Elijah Mikaelson," he announced. His siblings were standing behind him, and to be honest they looked like a band of assassins, what with their facial expressions and body language. Not to mention, once they open their mouths, they'll probably scare the poor girl under the table.
The young girl turned to face the siblings. Her breath caught in her throat. She didn't know what she was expecting when she met them. She was excited, but at the same time nervous. Her stomach felt all tied up in knots, and she couldn't speak. They looked so much like a close-knit family, a family that would do anything for each other, even when their fights get ugly, in the end they love each other and will believe in each other forever. It made her feel guilty for the news she had to give them.
"Well, no one else is here," Bonnie spoke up after noticing the awkwardness in the room. "Me and Matt are just going to go in the back and order some more.. Things.. Supplies and such."
"But we just got a new order today," Matt pointed out. Bonnie shot her friend a look before grabbing his hand and dragging him to the storage room. "Okay, ow! We'll just be in the back!"
That left Elijah, Rebekah, Klaus, Kol, Finn, and the new girl in town. All six of them stared at the amusing exit before them.
Elijah broke out of his trance and turned back to the stranger a few feet away from him. "I'm sorry, I didn't get your name." He held out his hand to the small girl.
She stared at his hand for a few milliseconds before realizing she looked like a freak. She shook his hand and introduced herself,
"I'm Freya."
"Well, that's a lovely name, darling. It still doesn't answer why you're looking for my family," Kol interrupted.
From her place beside her brother, Rebekah gave the other girl a vicious look. She had a feeling deep in the depth of her stomach, and she just knew that this conversation wasn't going to be good.
Freya stared at Rebekah and suddenly felt intimidated. She looks like she'd bite my head off.
"Excuse me, love.. Cat got your tongue?" Klaus smirked.
"Excuse my siblings, they have no manners." Finn walked forward from his spot in the back of the bunch. "I'm Finn, the oldest sibling. And the outcast," he said the last part as a joke to add a bit of humor to the awkward situation.
Freya shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, Finn."
"I'm Klaus, the middle sibling and the illegitimate bastard child."
"Niklaus," Elijah warned.
Kol stepped forward and grabbed the younger girl's hand, and brought it to his lips in his "chivalrous" manner. "Kol," he introduced himself.
The four brothers then turned to their younger sister, expecting her to introduce herself to their guest. When she didn't say anything and continued glaring at the teen, Klaus decided to introduce her himself. He stepped a few steps sideways and wrapped his arm around his sister. "This is our lovely baby sister, Rebekah. She's a lot more evil than she looks. At least until you get to know her, then she's a precious devil cupcake." Rebekah elbowed her older brother very hard.
"I'm sorry if I'm making things.. Weird," Freya said. "I just don't know how to say this."
"Say what?" Elijah asked.
"Exactly who are you?" The only sister finally spoke.
"Well..." Freya lifted her hand to move her hair out of the way, and as her wrist twisted forward, Rebekah's eyes landed on a small six-sided star on the inside of the strange girl's wrist.
"What the hell is that?" Rebekah snapped.
"What?"
Rebekah grabbed the other girl's wrist.
"Rebekah! We don't grab strangers!" Elijah tried to stop his sister from attacking the young girl.
"Look at that star!" Rebekah exclaimed.
"It's a birthmark!" Freya explained. "I was born with it."
"Oh my god," Klaus said when he noticed the star.
Noticing how all five of them stared at her wrist, she started to get a little creeped out. "Okayy.. What's the big deal of a silly birthmark?"
"Oh, nothing. Just the fact that we all have one, too," Kol answered.
"We inherited it from our mother," Finn added. The birthmark was a small six-sided star that was the size of a sunflower seed. Esther's was located on the knuckle of her left index finger. The mark had been passed down to her children. Finn has his above his left ankle. Elijah has his on his left collarbone. Klaus has his on his back, below his right shoulder; he has his tattoo around the birthmark. Kol has his on his right hipbone. Rebekah has hers' on the crease of her right elbow. And finally, Henrik had his on his left knee. And now, Freya has hers' on the inside of her right wrist.
"So it's true," Freya whispered to herself.
"Is what true?" Rebekah growled. "What are you talking about?"
"I'm your sister!" She squealed. The five siblings just stared at her, suddenly they all took a few steps back. Finn now started to see the resemblance between his new-found "sister" and his mother. He noticed she looked more like his mother than Rebekah did. Klaus just stared in awe. The fact that he wasn't the only "bastard child" his mother had, made him feel a whole lot better about himself. Elijah was angry that his mother told another lie, yet again. Where was this girl in her "truth story"? But whatever happened in the past, he vowed to protect this girl from their crazy mother. Kol just couldn't believe a thing that was happening. He just stared at his long lost sister in shock. He started to notice how her nose was kind of shaped like his. Then there was Rebekah; who grew up being the only girl in a family originally filled with six boys. She was the baby sister to four big brothers who adored her. Being the only girl in their lives for over fifteen years, until they all fell in love, and she had a hard time learning to share them with their girlfriends. But she had accepted that they loved their girlfriends/wives differently than they loved her. But now she realized that they had another sister. She couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous. They were probably going to spend all their time getting to know her, and protect her, and considering she looked so young, they'd probably start calling her their "actual baby sister." She didn't want to give up her brothers. She did not want to share them. She wanted this girl to go back to wherever she came from.
None of them could speak. I mean, what could you say to some random teenage girl who shows up and announces she's your long-lost half-sister.
Finally, Elijah opened his mouth. "Wait.. How did you know where to find us- me?"
Freya sighed and started her story. "Well.. You see, I'm fourteen years old- I look older than I am, anyway, for the first couple of years of my life, my mom was in and out. I spent most of my time with my dad. Then when I was almost two, my mom started hanging around a lot more. But then when I was about six years old, she left again. My dad said something about her choosing her other family over us. I didn't know what that meant, I just knew my mom didn't love me like I thought. I accepted it, because I had my dad. But then.. My dad died a couple of years ago, and since I had no other family, I went into foster care. A few months ago, I realized that no one was going to adopt a teenager, so I decided to look for my mom. My foster mother helped me look through medical records. Apparently, my mom did not want to be found. All I had was her name, and I couldn't do much with that. But then I remembered that she had other children, so I looked through more medical records and found your guys' names. I kind of stalked you guys online and found out you guys lived here- sorry about that. I just knew I had to find you guys. I didn't want to be in the foster system anymore. But there was no way they'd let me go, so I lied and told them that I had a place to go, and for some miraculous reason, they paid for my plane ticket and gave me money to make it out here. I guess there were sick of me, so they were glad they had an excuse to get rid of me. But, I was looking for Elijah first because online it said you were a lawyer so I thought that'd be the best bet, and also because your name came first- you know like E, F, K, N, R, like alphabetically.. Anyway! So I went to your house, and I guess your wife was there- she was kind of rude at first, but then she was really nice- and she said something about how you were all here, and so I couldn't pass that up. And now here I am!"
They just continued staring at her. This story just made them even more confused. But at least they knew that there was more to when Esther left the first time; she had another kid. One who Mikael didn't want to raise.
But when was she pregnant? Fourteen/fifteen years ago, they were all nine/ten/twelve/fourteen/seventeen, all old enough to notice that their mother was pregnant. How did she hide it? They all racked their brains to remember any clues. But all they could recall is that that was when Mikael and Esther fought the most. Right after the truth about Klaus's true paternity came out.
"Listen, I don't know if what you're saying is true," Klaus was the first to speak. "But, promise me you will not seek out our mother. She is not a good person, and we're having to deal with more of her lies and schemes and so many horrible things right now, and whether you're our sister or not, please do not go find her."
"It's really in your best interest to stay away from her," Elijah added.
Freya pouted but nodded anyway. "I understand. I won't go looking for her." She took a deep breath. "But, what I'm saying is true. And doesn't this birthmark prove it?" She held up her wrist. "I'm sorry for just barging into your lives. And I hope you know that I'm not expecting anything.. I just wanted to know that I had a family somewhere. And I guess.. I also just wanted answers as to why my mom left me. But I won't go looking for them, if that's what you guys think is best."
No one said anything for a long time.
"Freya? Do you have anywhere to stay?" Elijah gently rested his hand on his.. sister's arm. Rebekah's head snapped up to look at her brother and she knew exactly what was he doing.
The newest member of the "Brady Bunch" slowly shook her head. "I kind of just got here. But I have enough money to rent a hotel room-"
"No need," Elijah said. "You can stay with me."
"Elijah," Rebekah interrupted. "What are you doing?"
"I'm not going to let our sister out on the streets."
"Who even knows if she's even our sister!"
"It's a pretty convincing story," Kol spoke for the first time in a while. "And she has our birthmark."
"So? She could have drawn it on!"
"I don't think some fourteen year old girl would draw a stupid little star on her wrist just to convince us she's our sister," Klaus said.
"Besides, what would she want with us? Our family is crazy, no one would want to join willingly," Finn added.
"And even if she was a stranger, I'm not going to let her stay in a hotel when she's only fourteen," Elijah finished.
"But-"
"Sister, end of discussion."
"'Lijah-"
"I said, end of discussion."
Rebekah scowled and crossed her arms across her chest. Kol chuckled and tried to give his sister a hug but she slapped him away.
"Do you have anything?" Elijah turned his attention to the girl who has been quiet. "Clothing, a bag..?"
Freya shook her head, "I have a small bag, but nothing much." She pointed to the bag she rested on the bar when she first entered The Grill. "They don't let you keep a lot of stuff when you're in foster care."
"Who's in foster care?" Matt asked when he and Bonnie finally joined the dysfunctional family in the front of the café. Rebekah perked up when she saw her fiancé and shot him a huge smile.
"Bonnie, Matt.. This is our sister," Elijah introduced his future brother-in-law and hopefully future sister-in-law to his long-lost sister. "Freya, this is Bonnie and Matt; Bonnie is Kol's girlfriend, and Matt and Rebekah are soon-to-be-married."
"Sister?" Bonnie raised her eyebrow and glanced at her boyfriend.
Kol shrugged, "We just found out about this."
"Well, it's nice to meet you.. Freya?" Matt smiled at the newest member of his future family. Rebekah walked up to him and gave him a look. His eyes said what? She rolled her eyes and hugged his side, resting her shoulder in the crook of his neck. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead.
"I want to go home," Rebekah whispered to her fiancé.
"You guys are getting married?" Freya asked her sister and the blonde boy she was hugging. "That's so cool! Congratulations!"
"Thanks," Matt smiled, while Rebekah just glared at her sister. Matt nudged the girl standing beside him and muttered, "Rebekah, be nice."
She faked a smile and said, "Thank you."
"I'd hate to cut this reunion short.." Bonnie interrupted as she walked towards her boyfriend and took his hand in hers. "But, we have to close up, like now."
"You're right, we totally lost track of time. Freya, grab your stuff and we'll head back to my house," Elijah said to the teen. "Now, how am I going to break this to Katherine?"
...
Five minutes later, the last of the party had exited the building and were walking to their car in the almost-empty parking lot.
"I can't believe you have a sister!" Bonnie exclaimed.
"I already had a sister before," Kol pointed out.
"Well, another one. Isn't that exciting?"
"Well.. Not really. Mostly shocking."
The two reached Bonnie's car and they both reached for the driver's door.
"Nuh-uh," Bonnie pushed her boyfriend out of the way. "No way are you driving. Not after last night."
"Come on! You drove me here and I felt like a child!"
"Get in the car, now."
"Like that," he reluctantly walked to the other side and climbed in the passenger's seat. Once they were both in the car he said, "I'm sorry about last night. But you can't not let me drive forever."
"Yes, I can." She grinned, "It's my car."
"I didn't even do anything."
"You almost did."
"I regret it!"
"Doesn't matter."
Yes, the thing that Kol almost did was get into an accident. He was in a bad mood after the revelations of last night, and Bonnie knew she shouldn't have let him get behind the wheel. The pair had been "having a squabble" on his mother incident, and Kol hadn't seen where he was going and there was a deer in the middle of the road.
"KOL! Watch out!"
Kol turned his head from Bonnie to the road and when he saw the deer he swerved the steering wheel 180 degrees and the tires screeched and the car skidded across the road and came centimeters away from hitting a pole.
"Oh my god," Kol stared at his hands. He glanced at Bonnie to make she was okay, but when her head was leaning against the window with her being unresponsive, he started to panic.
He grabbed her shoulders and shook her. "Bonnie? Bonnie! Please, wake up!" What did he do? Please tell him he didn't kill her.
This was all his fault. If he wasn't so stubborn and didn't overreact to everything, they wouldn't have been having a nice argument and he wouldn't have almost hit the deer and his girlfriend would be okay.
"Kol! Stop shaking me!" Bonnie cried. "I'm okay!" She grabbed his hands so he would stop shaking herself and himself. She cupped his face and had him look at her. "Hey, shhh.. I'm okay. Look, I just hit my head. But I'm fine. You're fine. We're fine."
He nodded, obviously still traumatized. He started having breathing trouble, he felt a sense of deja vu. "I almost killed you."
She shook her head and chuckled, "No you didn't.. I just bumped my head, but nothing happened. The car just spun a few times. Look, I have no bruise or cuts. I'm not bleeding.. Kol, things could have been much worse."
"But.. Henrik, is he okay?" Kol couldn't stop the words that came out of his mouth. His mind wasn't in 2014 anymore. He was remembering that day ten years ago. Of course, some things were different back then, like the fact it was his father that was driving.
"Oh, your brother.." Bonnie said sadly.
"Is he okay?"
"Kol, you're having a PTSD attack. Henrik isn't here. It's me, Bonnie."
"Why isn't he here?" The crack in his voice absolutely broke her heart. "What happened?"
She gently rubbed the back of his head. "Honey.. Henrik is dead."
"No," he shook his head. His eyes widened. "She killed him! She's back!"
"Kol!" Bonnie tried to snap him out of it. "Listen to my voice. It's Bonnie. You love me, and I love you. It's 2014. You play baseball. I have a daughter named Emma, who you love to death, and she loves you like you're her second dad. We live together, you and me. You're one of my best friends. Listen to my voice.. I'm Bonnie, and I love you. You're imagining things. Come back to me, this isn't real."
His brown eyes dilated, before shaking his head violently to get the voices out his head. "Bonnie?"
She smiled in relief and reach over to hug him. He cradled his head and kissed his forehead. He clung onto her and buried his face in her shoulder. He couldn't believe that happened. What's wrong with him?
...
Elijah arrived home, with his youngest sister with him. The car ride was incredibly awkward. He had tried to make conversation, but honestly, neither of them knew what to say. But Freya was incredibly grateful that her brother was so nice and offered to take her in. She didn't know what she was going to do, but she's glad he was going to host her while she figured it out.
He took out his key and unlocked the front door and motioned for Freya to stay a few feet behind him while he called his wife.
A few moments later, Katherine came waddling in from the living room. "You're back!" He smiled at how happy she was to see him. Of course, she would never show her excitement if her mood wasn't messed up by her pregnancy hormones.
"Hey, sweetie." He walked over to her and kissed her forehead, while resting his hand on her stomach and gently rubbing it, saying hi to his unborn child. "I have a surprise for you."
"Oh, good. I love surprises," she said half-sarcastically because she really hates surprises, and half-not- mostly because she was hoping for food.
Elijah motioned for the blonde to move around the corner. Freya shyly waved her hand at the woman she met earlier.
"Her?" Katherine raised her eyebrow. She looked the girl up and down. "She was here earlier, looking for you."
"I know. She met me at The Grill. She's my.. Uh.. Sister."
Katherine coughed. "Another one?!"
"I didn't even know she existed until an hour ago."
"Then why is she here?"
"I can't let her go nowhere. She's only fourteen."
Katherine glance at the girl again. She sighed. I guess I gotta be nice. I can do this. "I'm sorry I was so rude earlier. I'm Katherine, nice to meet you."
Freya smiled. "I'm Freya. I just want to say thank you for letting me stay here. I don't know many people who would take total strangers in just minutes after meeting them."
Elijah grabbed her bag for her and started showing her to the guest room. "You're no stranger. You're family."
At hearing those words, Freya smiled.
...
Klaus quietly walked into his bedroom, careful not to wake Caroline, or Henry. With the dim light on, he saw that his angel was curled up peacefully in their bed, and the dog was sleeping at the foot of the bed, guarding his love. He smiled at the sight.
But then he banged his foot and he started cursing, causing Henry to jump up and start barking, which incidentally woke up Caroline.
"Klaus?" She groggily said, rubbing her eyes and starting to sit up. She glanced at the clock, "It's eleven o'clock."
"Sweetheart, go back to bed. I just got in, I'll be to bed shortly." He scratched behind the puppy's ear because he knew the dog wouldn't rest until he greeted him. Surely enough, once he greeted the pup, Henry curled back into a ball at Caroline's feet and went back to sleep.
"Okay." She leaned back onto her pillows. "How was your dinner with your family?"
"Fine." He decided not to tell her about Freya until the morning. She was probably half-asleep and wouldn't remember half of what he said anyway. But he will tell her everything when they wake up tomorrow, because she's just going to ask again.
"What did you guys decide?"
"Well.. We knew that one of us had to talk to her."
"Oh no."
"Finn volunteered to go talk to her."
"Isn't that kind of.. Well, bad? Didn't he used to be.."
"A momma's-boy? Yes, yes, he was. But Kol and Elijah are too angry to go, and Rebekah has so much to deal with, and frankly, I just don't want to go. Finn swore that he hates her as much as we do, and he's not going to choose her over us. I believe in him to do this. He's going to talk to her sometime this week. He's just going to ask her some things, and then tell her to leave."
By this point, Klaus was done getting into his bed-wear. He lifted off the sheets and climbed into bed. He glanced down at his girlfriend and noticed her chest rising and falling at a steady pace, her eyes closed, and a quiet noise exhaling from her nose. He chuckled; he knew she was going to fall asleep. He'll just retell her everything in the morning when he tells her about his long-lost sister.
He leaned down and kissed her forehead. He then smiled as he remembered the moment he met at her, and declares that as the best moment of his life. Because if it wasn't for that moment, then all the rest of his favorite moments wouldn't have happened. He's glad he has her. Someone to talk to. Someone to love.
October 2009, Whittemore College
Klaus was at one of the many college parties silly American teenagers throw. He did not want to go, but his roommate and new friend Stefan Salvatore told him he had to come to this one. It was Halloween, and he couldn't stay home on the funnest night of the year. Especially considering he was pretty scary, according to Stefan.
But of course, he was ditched as soon as they arrived. He found himself at the snack table, stealing bites of the food. He saw a cooler of alcohol and sighed. He hated that thing, but at the same time loved the taste of it. But he doesn't get drunk at parties. That's not him. That's his father, and he's never going to be like him.
"Klaus!" Stefan grinned as he came up to his roommate. "I have someone I want you to meet!"
He gestered to this tall, beautiful blonde with the saddest blue eyes he had ever seen. Klaus's heart skipped a beat when his eyes landed on the beauty. There was something about her.
"Klaus Mikaelson.. Caroline Forbes."
The girl, Caroline, gave Klaus a small smile. "Hey."
It was just one word but all Klaus heard was a choir of angels.
"Is he okay? He's just staring at me," Caroline whispered to her best friend.
"Yeah, he's just uptight about parties."
Klaus shook his head, "I'm so sorry, love. It's just.. You're so beautiful. You took my breath away."
Caroline laughed, "Oh my god, you're so sweet!"
"And you're beautiful."
"Are you going to keep saying that?"
"Maybe."
"You're ridiculous."
"Well, I'm going to leave you two lovebirds alone to talk," Stefan announced while he went to join the party.
Caroline didn't want Stefan to go. Sure, Klaus was nice, but she didn't want her best friend to leave her alone with a stranger.
She turned to him, "Well.. Thank you for making me smile for the first time in a while."
"Oh, what happened?"
She shrugged. "Bad breakup. You know how those go."
He shook his head. "No, not really."
"Oh."
Klaus smirked, "Would you care to dance?"
"How do I know you're not a serial killer or something?"
"There's always that possibility! I could be an evil vampire for all you know, preying on innocent, lonely, heartbroken girls. But you'll never know unless you give me a chance."
She smiled. "Okay. One dance. But that's it."
"That's all I ask." She laughed and took his hand as he led her out to the dance floor. Okay, maybe this party wasn't such a bad idea after all, he thought.
So, they danced. Nothing else happened, though. Except for the fact that Klaus fell head over heals in love with her. But, Caroline just wasn't ready for a relationship. He respected that, and they became good friends. Although, he did flirt with her a bit here and there. And she though he was cruel and ridiculous. He treated most of her friends, mostly Elena and Damon, horribly. But he was so sweet with her. It was frustrating. She didn't want to fall in love with him. He was her friend, but she hated him at times.
She hated him the most when he drew her this picture of her and a horse, her favorite animal. He just wasn't making this easy.
She went over to his dorm to yell at him for being so romantic and stupid and sexy, but all that really happened is that she saw more of his art and then he explained to her why he loved her. Yes, love. She only left his dorm speechless, and deeply in love with him. She avoided him for weeks.
But when they bumped into each other in the courtyard.. The tension was too much. They couldn't pretend that they didn't feel anything. He promised that he'd leave her alone, if that is what she really wanted. When she didn't answer, he turned to leave, but she made up her mind about what she wanted. "Wait." He turned around and raised his eyebrow.
"You want to know what I want?"
He nodded.
She took a deep breath. God, this was hard. She was never this nervous about a guy. Not about Tyler. Not Matt. Not even Damon or Stefan. She knew this relationship was all or nothing. And well, she decided to take a leap of faith. So, she kissed him. A slow, gentle kiss, but the kiss that started everything. They both broke away from the kiss with huge smiles on their faces. He then kissed her again, and the ended up making out against a tree.
But before things got heated, the sprinklers came on and they got soaked. What a lovely metaphor. They broke out laughing.
"I uh.. Got to get to class," she blushed.
"I'll see you around?" He smiled.
She grinned and flipped her hair. "Of course." She kissed his cheek before running off.
And then they lived happily ever after. Or, well. Sort of.
So you guys got your Klaroline meeting! I hope you guys liked it :)
So what do you guys think about Freya? Do you trust her? And do you guys think Rebekah is overreacting, feeling territorial over her brothers? Will she get used to her sister? And what do you think will happened with Finn and Esther next chapter? What will happened when Abby comes to town? Why does she hate Kol?
And what did you guys think of Kol's PTSD attack? I don't even know where that came from tbh. And yes, the car accident is the thing Kol did! I bet you guys weren't expecting that.
Finally, what is up with Kai? What's his past with Bonnie? Damon and Elena? Why is he back?
