Chapter 3 – Girl problems
Bonnie stared wide eyed at Damon as his gaze penetrated the very depths of her soul. She was about to reject his idea when her door came off the hinges and Caroline stormed in.
"Girl moment now, Damon out!" Caroline growled.
"We were kind of having a moment" Damon argued weakly, Caroline grunted, grabbed him by the arm and threw him out in the hallway.
"You've had months to have 'moments' with Bonnie. I need her. Bonnie; how about a supernatural hearing barrier around the room?" Caroline asked as she sat down on Bonnie's bed and buried her face in her hands.
"Women" Damon turned to find Elijah nursing a red cheek and Klaus with some serious claw marks on his face.
"Don't ask" Klaus commanded as he stormed off.
"I wasn't going to…." Damon mumbled before looking up at Elijah.
"Is there something in the air here making women crazy?" Damon asked.
"Maybe their periods synchronized" Damon mumbled the answer to his own question eliciting a chuckle from Elijah.
"If you'll excuse me I need to go and hide from a certain new female hybrid" Elijah said as Hayley stormed past him purposely knocking him to the ground as she left the compound. Damon raised his eyebrows at the interaction.
"I'm going out for a drink and a blood whore" Damon announced glaring at Bonnie whose attention was on Caroline in their little magic bubble.
"Damon's right. We need a break from female drama; be it mother, Hayley, Caroline or Cami"
"So you're the one who pissed off Vampire Barbie" Damon theorized and Klaus scowled.
"Fine, the previous 4 names shall not be mentioned tonight at all, well 5; I'm including Bonnie for… reasons…" Damon announced as the 3 male vampires moved to change before hitting a few bars.
"He has a kid… with Hayley?" Bonnie asked for the fifth time.
"Yes, he had a kid, his kid was killed by his mother. Asking over and over again won't change my answer."
"Wow… how is that even possible? Are they together?"
"Something about them both being wolves... They had to change Hayley because the witches killed her and practically ripped her baby out of her to murder it" Caroline's body shook violently in unbridled anger.
"How can someone want to kill an innocent baby? Why didn't he ask for help? Had I known I would have been here; I would have helped."
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Bonnie asked stroking her back gently.
"I don't know I just feel like… You remember when Klaus first came to Mystic Falls?"
"You mean how he relentlessly stalked you?" Caroline rolled her eyes at Bonnie.
"Even though he was trying to kill the people I care about there was this vibe between us, this little spark, there was something about him that made me feel so…"
"Horny?"
"Bonnie!"
"What, it's obvious you two had the hots for each other but you were trying to stay faithful in your not so perfect relationship with Tyler. We both knew Tyler was going to do something stupid to hurt you sooner or later."
"I was the one who hurt him; I had sex with Klaus…"
"You gave him a choice and he didn't put you first. He didn't have any right being upset at you about Klaus"
"I just thought I meant something to him. I know that I told him to keep walking but I had hoped…"
"Caro, you can't string a guy along for decades, are you trying to take a page from Katherine?" Bonnie asked shaking her head, sometimes her lovable blond friend was utterly obtuse.
"I missed you so much. See you can't go around sacrificing yourself anymore because I can't survive without you" Caroline said hugging Bonnie tight.
"So now why were you so angry?"
"Well after we caught up and we flirted I decided to go out to check out some of the areas that were still neutral ground for us vamps. I… I saw Klaus with this human girl in a bar. They were dancing… intimately. She's been at his side all this while. I feel as if the feelings he had for me diminished. Why didn't he turn to me… Why some strange human woman… why didn't he ask for help…."
"You're an ordinary vampire like Damon that's the most probable reason, hey; I don't have the answers but I know someone who does."
"Let's go see Hayley" Bonnie suggested.
"I might have attacked Klaus and accused him of using me for sex and tossing me aside…" Caroline said in a rush as Bonnie's eyes widened.
"Caroline, why on earth would you do something like that. We still haven't found our own place here and this palatial home is probably one of the only safe places for us to stay!"
"I actually have nothing in my defence" Caroline sighed drooping her shoulders uncharacteristically
"Sounds like you still have the hots for him. I thought you had a thing for Stefan"
"Stupid little crush, I was lonely and he was the only one close to me"
"So he got closer to this Cami person because his protégé had an interest in her?"
"Yep" Hayley answered as she downed another shot of tequila.
"Are the two of you…"
"Involved? No; it was a one night stand then I left to find my family. I had interests in the older Mikaelson but he clearly doesn't give a fuck about me."
"Not everyone is lucky enough to have a Damon" Kai directed at Bonnie as he refilled the ladies glasses.
"No talking Porky" Caroline growled.
"You're like the female Damon"
"If she was like Damon, she'd have ripped out your heart by now. No talking just pour" Bonnie commanded.
"You know what we need? Man candy" Caroline clapped her hands.
"A distraction from the assholes in our lives" Bonnie cheered, slightly buzzed.
"I know just who we need. He owes me a favour for saving his life"
Damon, Klaus and Elijah sat at the bar; Damon and Klaus knocked back bourbon while Elijah indulged in red wine.
"I think I'm going to go for the red head" Damon announced turning around and scanning the patrons in the bar.
"She's a witch I doubt you'd get close."
"Well obviously you need a lesson in handling the fairer sex" Damon announced approaching the witch and returning with a singed arm.
"Not a word" Damon said as he nursed his bourbon while his arm healed. The door opened and a familiar fragrance filled the room as Cami entered the bar.
"Cami" Klaus smiled and woke up to make his way to her, only to be stopped by Damon.
"Isn't that one of the names we aren't saying tonight? I think we should hop bars, maybe find a preppy annoying one with drunken little humans" Damon suggested and with a slight breeze they were gone.
"So what is it you want?" Marcel asked as he entered the Den only to be accosted by 3 very drunk women and a strange man who kept throwing dirty glares at him.
"You" Hayley giggled as she and Caroline circled the fine specimen of man.
"Look at that ass" Bonnie sighed dreamily biting her lip.
"What's going on?" Marcel asked looking around; he knew Hayley was sweet on Elijah, why she was throwing herself at him with her incredibly beautiful friends was beyond him.
"These are my friends; Caroline and Bonnie. They just moved into town. I was hoping you can entertain them" Hayley said throwing herself on Klaus's favourite single seater with Bonnie and Caroline sitting on either arm rest.
"Entertain them?" Marcel questioned feeling as if he were in some strange twilight zone. Hayley picked up a remote and hit play, soon the room filled with the sounds of Blacksteet's 'No Diggity'.
"Show us what you got big boy" Caroline crooned while Marcel stood frozen on the spot until Bonnie used her magic to pop his buttons off.
"You want me to strip?" He was sure he was in a twilight zone now.
"You owe me for saving your life, it's a small price now; dance monkey!" Hayley giggled throwing a grape at Marcel who caught it in his mouth.
"This is sexual harassment…" Marcel was forced to change tactics when he has surrounded by a ring of fire courtesy of Bonnie.
"Then again who wouldn't want to be harassed by three incredible beauties?" Marcel said giving a toothy smouldering grin as his hips began to sway while he removed his shirt buttons slowly.
The women huddled together as they became absorbed in his poetic movements and the way the light caught his delectable chocolate skin.
"If I lick him would he taste like chocolate?" Caroline asked, as his shirt hit the floor and he moved his abs in a wave.
"Well you won't know until you try" Bonnie shot back, feeling the type of bravado Damon usually exudes.
Bonnie stood up on very unsteady legs as she moved towards Marcel.
"Where are you going?" Caroline asked; her eyes transfixed on Marcel's perfect chiselled form.
"To try" Marcel nearly fall off his feet as all three women pounced on him, of course Klaus, Damon and Elijah walked in at that point to find Caroline's tongue on Marcel's neck, Bonnie's on his chest and Hayley trying to rip of his tighty whities. Marcel who was the only one sober simply said one word…
"Rape" as he threw up his hands in innocence. Klaus grabbed Caroline by the elbow and vanished with her. Hayley growled at Elijah and stalked off while Elijah glared at Marcel until he left leaving Damon giving Bonnie a disappointed glare until she keeled over and threw up on his shoes.
Bonnie was hung over the toilet hurling her guts out while Damon paced angrily outside the bathroom door.
"I leave for 3 hours Bon, 3 hours and you throw yourself at some strange vampire drunk of your ass."
"Can we do this in the morning?" Bonnie groaned pressing her forehead against the cool tub to make herself feel better.
"No, we do it now!" Damon growled, biting into his wrist and force feeding her blood.
"That should do the trick, now go clean up" Damon demanded as the alcoholic cloud that made Bonnie's mind hazy lifted.
"Where's Kai" She asked as her common sense returned.
"Cleaning" Damon smirked as Kai silently cursed him for making him clean Bonnie's mess downstairs.
"What was that!" Klaus demanded as Caroline's buzz began to fade away.
"Fun" Caroline retorted and Klaus felt like tearing his hair off.
"Anyway why do you care? Don't you have Cami?" Caroline spat.
"Are you jealous?" Klaus asked trying not to laugh at the baby vampire but failing.
"He's your first love. I intend to be your last. However long that may take" Caroline said in a horrible impersonation of Klaus.
"I am not jealous, I am so upset with all that has happened and me being kept in the dark this whole time going about college while all this was happening. Why didn't you at least text me"
"I told you I would walk away and I would not look back, that is what you wanted is it not?"
"Klaus, there are times when you need to break your own word. I would have helped. I may not be as calculating or as strong as Damon but one extra pair of hands may have helped you save your baby. You should have told me. Why didn't you?"
"To keep you safe!" Klaus said in exasperation, he wanted a sabbatical from the female species right that moment.
"I don't need to be kept safe; I'm not some breakable porcelain doll. I can take care of myself; we fought you, Silas and the travellers and we kicked ass so don't treat me like I'm some kind of weak useless-" Klaus silenced her by placing his finger on her lips.
"I apologise if I offended you. I care about you love. If Ester got her hands on you…"
"She won't get her hands on me; I have Bonnie and Damon back"
"I doubt Damon will be effective against Ester"
"Hey what he lacks in strength he makes up for in intelligence. He's good at tactics" Caroline defended her maker.
"I thought you hated him"
"I did and then he died and, I felt it… His blood is what brought me into being, I guess he's family" Caroline shrugged. Then entered an awkward silence with Klaus
"So you ponder over our last conversation quite often I see" Klaus asked
"That you were turning your back on me and you would never look back as long as I was honest about how I feel." Caroline answered in a beat.
"You told me that you couldn't see me in your future plans Caroline. Do you think staying away from you was easy?"
"Just because I said something stupid out of fear doesn't mean that I want you to shut me out completely."
"Fear?"
"Fear of losing myself so completely in you I turn into Elena the way she was with Damon"
"Love, you have far too much fire in you to turn into the Doppelganger. That's what I was attracted to in the beginning. You never take my bad behaviour sitting down."
"We've come a long way" Caroline said stepping closer to Klaus.
"What about your future plans?"
"I've been attacked so many times these past few years I guess I learned to appreciate the here and now" Caroline said with a light laugh as she leaned her cheek into Klaus inviting hand.
"You are dazzling." Klaus smiled then walked away from Caroline. For the first time in his existence his heart was divided by two fair beauties. Caroline was the embodiment of life and light while Cami was addictive in her own capacity. Was this how Elena felt being torn between the Salvatore brothers? He cared for both the women and they both had their own special parts in his life.
A/N: Hope you guys enjoyed, thank you all for the likes and reviews. Is it me or is Klaus just a little smidgen hotter than Damon Season 1 through 4? Damon turned into Stefan after Season 4 so his hotness title was revoked. I think True Blood is the only vamp story that had a clean cut ending with the object off all the vampires attentions just living her life as a human with a more mortal partner that wasn't part of some sick triangle ... it would have been so great if Elena ended up with Matt. Though I feel they destroyed VD from the beginning when they strayed away from the crux of the characters, Damon was meant to be a whole lot darker and sadistic what happened to his mist and his crow form and his wolf! I wanted to see shape shifting but no all Julie Plec wanted was a teen soapie where Elena was Brooke and Caroline was Taylor and Damon was Ridge and Stefan Thorn oh my fucking God, I really hope Julie gets run over by a bus. Anyway that's what fanfiction is for wiping out the bad taste Delena and Steroline left in everyone's mouths.
