A/N: so triple update :)
this chapter is really long but it all kinda deals with the same topics in each party (guys, girls and Barry's mission...)
Some information is spilled on Klaus to the other so far oblivious girls and information about Leo and Grace's past.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Caroline & Klaus's room
"Come on just put them on." Caroline rolled her eyes, crossing her legs on he bed.
"I look stupid."
"That's the point."
Klaus walked out of the bathroom. Caroline bursted into laughter and rolled back onto the bed.
"Now I feel even better," Klaus said sarcastically.
"Well maybe put on a shirt. That will make it look less, um, girly."
"Gee thanks…" Klaus rolled his eyes and opened his suitcase, pulling out an old white T-Shirt.
"We wanted to make you guys not wear shoes, but then you wouldn't be allowed in the store, so here," She handed him her shoes.
"These wont fit me, love."
"I know and they're pink which makes it better," She giggled. Klaus sighed and put them on. Pink flip-flops. Great because that's what he wanted to wear, in public.
He looked hilarious. He was wearing a white t-shirt, the tight biker shorts, and her way too small for him, pink flip flops.
Caroline headed towards the door and put her hand on the door knob.
"I am not going out there."
"You lost, so… you have to do what I say," She opened the door and walked out.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Graces and Leo's room
"Are you kidding me? I can't fit in those!" Leo complained.
"Klaus was able to, he's like the same size as you."
"But they're so tight!"
"That's the point!"
Leo rolled his eyes and lugged himself back into the bathroom.
"Caroline curled Klaus's hair with her curling iron, can I curl yours?"
"Did Kara curl Mon el's? And plus Klaus has curly hair."
"I'll ask her."
Grace zipped out of the room and went to Kara and Mon el's room.
"I guess you got Caroline's memo," Grace said to her.
"Yes," Kara laughed. She had Mon el sitting in a chair and she was behind him curling his short locks into tight little ring-let's.
"Ow Kara!" Mon el whined when she accidentally went to far and burned his scalp.
"Sorry!" She apologized.
"Geez, I'm letting you do this, totally against my own will by the way Grace, and you burn me!"
"Sorry!"
"I'm doing it to Leo too."
"The thing is, it doesn't really change Klaus's hair so I don't know why she is…" Kara said.
"Well she probably wants to do it just for herself…" Grace smirked.
"Do I seriously need to wear your pink flip flops?!" Mon el put his face in his hands.
"Yes you do. Caroline is making Klaus wear hers too."
"I'm making Leo do it and he's a movie star that can easily be noticed in public so suck it up Mon el."
Grace rushed back into the room to find Leo sulking on the bed.
"Aww poor baby," She leaned against the wall.
"Exactly."
Grace looked at her buzzing phone. "Caroline is saying that Klaus is being stubborn too, you two really are brothers."
Leo groaned and fell face first into the pillow.
"Oh by the way, I'm making you wear my pink flip flops."
He screamed into the pillow and she laughed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kara and Mon el's room
"What about Barry? Is he getting his hair curled too?"
"I don't know what he's doing. He's been quiet."
Mon el smirked.
"Why are you smirking?"
"It's nothing."
"You sure?"
"Of course Kara."
"Okay, your hair is done," She spun the chair around and Mon el looked into the mirror.
He reached his hand up to touch his newly styled hair. "Is it weird that I don't hate it?" He looked at her who was standing behind him.
"It looks good. Curly suits you."
Mon el chuckled and she kissed him.
"Don't embarrass yourself to much tonight…"
"Well four dudes are going into a supermarket wearing tight biker shorts and old shorts."
"And small girls flip-flops."
"And small girls flip-flops."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The girls were laughing at the boys who stood in the living room.
"I'm sorry but this is beautiful," Kara laughed wiping her eyes.
Barry, Klaus, Leo and Mon el stood in front of them. Leo's hair looked different curled along with Mon el's. Klaus's looked normal because it was natural but it honestly looked even better than normal. Barry didn't get the memo because his hair was normal, but he looked just about as thrilled as the rest of them.
"Have fun you guys!" Caroline said snapping a picture.
They rolled their eyes and walked downstairs and out the door. The girls followed the guys down the stairs and waved bye to them as they drove down the street.
Once they were out of sight they laughed and high fived at their success.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Klaus stopped the car when they were about half way towards the store.
"Get out Barry," Mon el ordered. Barry opened his door and stepped out of the car.
"This will show them," He grinned. He went into the back and grabbed a sweatshirt and shorts.
"Hey come on we could've done that!" Leo whined, slumping over his seat.
"Well Caroline would somehow find out," Klaus pointed out knowingly.
"I've only known her for a short time now and I can already see that," Mon el laughed agreeing with Klaus.
"I hate these shoes so much!" Klaus complained leaning his head against the seat and closing his eyes tight. "It makes difficult to drive."
"They don't even fit my feet," Mon el muttered from the back seat, messing with his shoe.
"And why pink? And why the hell did they all have the same pair of shoes? Even Kara does and she wasn't with them," Leo pointed out.
Klaus narrowed his eyebrows and Mon el thought for a second. They both shrugged in sync, they might live for centuries but they would never find out how a woman's mind works, especially the three they were with.
"Alright I'm ready to go. I'll keep you guys updated." Barry said fixing his dark jacket.
"Get them good Barry," Mon el encouraged. Barry nodded and sped off, flashes of lingering lighting wavered in the dark. Klaus opened his eyes and turned his attention back to the wheel.
"And did I mention I bloody hate shopping," Klaus murmured putting they key back in to start the car up.
"I can't stand it," Leo said looking at his phone.
"I mean Kara drags me to the store time and again but I never liked it, but I like being with her."
The other boys scoffed.
"You're lucky," Leo commented.
"It's true, you guys work well together," Klaus complimented, putting on the blinkers.
"Well I'm not blind either guys, I can see that you're clearly in love too."
The car went silent for a moment. Klaus's throat tightened and Leo scratched his new head of curls, making them even messier than before.
"We're almost there," Klaus broke the silence and shut off the GPS on his phone.
Barry sped back to the house, which of course didn't take long at all.
He opened the white gate leading to the pool area and snuck up the stairs that wrap around the house leading to the porch.
He came up to the top floor and saw the girls in the kitchen surrounding the island.
On the island counter was an open bottle of wine and three glasses.
"To new friends," Grace rose her glass
"To winners," Caroline grinned, raising her glass after Grace.
"To us," Kara rose her glass and smiled.
The three clinked their glasses together and took a sip of the red wine in unison.
"I'm going to put on my pjs," Caroline said putting her glass down.
"Me too," Grace sped down to her room and Kara followed not far behind.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Caroline put her suitcase on the bed and started to rummage through it.
Her and Klaus were going to sleep in the same bed tonight. She wanted to wear something cute, but not too cute. She didn't want him thinking the wrong thing…
"Ugh!" She groaned and sat on the bed next to her bag. Something caught her eye. Klaus's bag was on his side of the bed, well they didn't actually discuss it yet, but that's what she was guessing.
She crawled across the king bed and pulled Klaus's bag to face her directly. She unzipped the it slowly and looked inside. She had helped him pack and it still looks good as new, making he smile contently to herself.
Klaus's favorite things to wear is usually a grey or a shade of grey, or white, or black, henley shirt with some kind of pants, usually black.
She opened the top and started to go near his shirts. She had organized his bag into separate corners so near his normal shirts were his sleep shirts. They really weren't much different, just older. Some were white, grey and black. She picked up the oversized black shirt and jumped off the bed. She scurried into the bathroom and threw the shirt on. She took a hair tie and looped the end of the shirt through it. She looked herself over in the mirror. It looked good on her. The black material clung to her waist perfectly. She put on her sweatpants and put on fuzzy, white, socks. She ruffled her blonde hair and took out two hair ties. She took half of her hair and started to braid it and then started the second messy braid on the other side.
She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She couldn't wait for Klaus to come home.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Caroline walked back out to the girls who were sitting on the couch with their wine glasses.
"Where did you get that shirt missy?" Kara said untucking her legs from underneath her and setting her glass on the table with a click.
"Uh, in my suitcase."
Grace didn't say anything, just stared off for a second, most likely thinking of something. Then she just sped down to her room.
"Okay?" Caroline said as she sat down on the chair next to Kara on the couch.
"Is that Klaus's?" She grinned.
"Maybe…"
"I think it is."
"It is," Caroline confessed.
"I knew it," Kara chuckled leaning back into the couch. "So did you guys ever kiss?"
"Kara!" Caroline put her palm to her forehead. "Seriously?!"
"Yes! You guys are so cute together!"
"No one is as cute as you and Mon el…"
"Damn straight, but you guys are adorable, so is Grace and Leo."
The girls shared a laugh as Grace zoomed back up the stairs and plopped back into her spot and sipped her glass in the blink of an eye.
"Well?" Caroline said as her and Kara looked at Grace who sat there casually sipping her drink.
"What?"
"So where'd ya go?" Kara asked.
"I went to get Leo's shirt," She grinned.
"You just did that because I was wearing Klaus's!"
"Exactly," She said. "You have the right mindset here girl, its a good chance to mess with them."
"Well it does look cute on you," Caroline added.
"It does. I'm actually wearing a shirt Mon el got me on our first date."
"Aw," The girls awed.
"It's not fair!" Caroline sighed leaning back in her chair, bringing her wine glass to her lips.
"I know. You guys are so cute it's sickening."
"Well you could be us, if you had the balls to say something to Klaus and Leo."
The girls sulked into their chairs and sipped their wine tinted with B+ from Caroline's blood stash.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The boys walked into the store and within seconds people started staring at them.
"Bloody hell," Klaus muttered. They continued walking past the heated, confused gazes of the other locals.
"I don't know why they're dressed like that, but they're all hot," A lady whispered, loud enough for vamp hearing.
Klaus and Leo grinned and Mon el mouthed to them and asked why they were smirking.
"That lady over there," Leo motioned. "She said she doesn't know why we were dressed like this, but she thinks we're all hot."
"Good to know."
Their shoes flopped in unison on the marble ground as they made their way down the isles.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Barry watched the girls from outside the window. He saw the back of Caroline's head and the sides of Kara and Grace's faces. They were watching, from what he could see, the Notebook.
He did hear some great gossip though, he kinda figured that Caroline liked Klaus and Grace liked Leo but it's good to have his theory confirmed.
It was time to put their plan into action. Barry took out his phone and texted Klaus, Leo and Mon el in their newly created group chat.
Barry:
Game on
Klaus:
What are they doing?
Barry:
Watching a movie and drinking wine in their pjs. Typical girl crap.
Mon el:
Damn I wish I was there
Barry:
And you'll like what they're wearing
Klaus:
Why what is it?
Leo:
Barry what?
Mon el:
Barry?
Barry:
Come back soon, i'm going in.
Klaus:
That's what she said
Leo:
THATS MY JOKE DAMN IT KLAUS
Klaus:
It's damn it Dwight, actually, but I'm right next to you
Leo:
Oh right.
Leo slapped Klaus on the back of the head. "Was that necessary?"
"Very, and its not like it hurt."
Klaus rolled his eyes and leaned against the shopping cart, pushing it with him as he walked.
"I still feel so stupid," Mon el muttered, grabbing something from Kara's list off the shelf.
"Me too. Three dudes dressed like this going into a supermarket together is a whole new level of weird," Leo said. "Maybe that's why Grace curled my hair, so people wouldn't recognize me."
"She told Caroline that's what she was doing. I may of read her phone," Klaus shrugged grabbing ice cream out of the freezer from Caroline's list of things to get.
"Do you think what we're making Barry do is too much?" Leo asked.
"I was thinking that too," Klaus confessed.
"Me too but they deserve it, this was too much," Mon el added, gesturing to their choice of clothes.
The others nodded along and continued down the isles.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I am so exhausted," Caroline said setting her glass on the table.
"I mean we did so much today. We got up at 5 to catch the long plane ride, we got here, we played in the pool in the rain and sun for hours, so yeah," Grace said.
"I'm sure the guys are more tired than us, they had to actually leave and run to the store," Kara added.
"Honestly, I can't wait to crawl into my warm cozy bed. Seriously i'm so tired," Caroline yawned slumping against the chair.
Grace groaned. "It's only 11:00."
"What?!" Both girls shot up from their seats.
Grace nodded. "They've been gone for an hour."
"I'm hungry too!" Caroline whined.
"When the hell are they coming back!" Kara pulled out her phone to text Mon el.
Kara:
Where the hell are you guys?
Mon el:
Shopping
Kara:
You don't say! I know that!
Mon el:
Then why ask?
Kara:
UGH!
"Caroline text Klaus you might get more luck," Kara suggested shutting her phone with a groan.
Caroline:
Klaus when are you getting back?
Klaus:
Miss me?
Caroline:
No
Klaus:
Well that's a pity, I won't get you your Mocha ice cream then
Caroline:
That's not something to joke about.
Klaus:
I'm putting it back…
Caroline:
Don't move another inch Mikaelson
Klaus:
I'm opening the freezer…
Caroline:
Stop it Klaus
Klaus:
I'm grabbing the ice cream from the cart
Caroline:
why ru so annoying?
Klaus:
But I'm perfect
Caroline:
You're making me eat my words
Klaus:
You said I was perfect, but so annoying you couldn't even look at me
Caroline:
And I was right.
Bye now.
And put my ice cream down or you will feel my wrath. Trust me, you don't want that.
Caroline shut her phone in frustration. "Grace try Leo. Klaus is being an ass like always."
Grace:
When will you be back?!
Leo:
Why did something happen?
Grace:
No we're tired and hungry
Leo:
Well then go to sleep, i'll be there soon.
Grace:
No not without-
No were not.
Leo:
Well that's your loss. I don't have a time sorry love.
Grace:
Wow your brother really rubs off on you.
Leo:
I know.
Grace:
That was no help. Bye
Leo:
Later
"Nope nothing but teasing," Grace put her phone down.
"Me too!" Caroline and Kara said in sync.
"Klaus said he wouldn't get me my favorite ice cream because I said I didn't miss him."
"Mon el was just being stupid. I asked him what he was doing and he said 'shopping'. Like, no duh Mon el!" Kara rolled her eyes.
"Leo said 'I don't have the exact time sorry, love'."
"What?" Caroline said confused. "That's Klaus's line."
"He rubs off on him."
"Can't tell if that's a good or a bad thing," Caroline laughed.
The three girls jumped when they heard a noise on the porch. Something scratched up against the glass.
"What the hell was that?!" Caroline said moving onto the couch with Kara and Grace.
"No clue," Grace said not moving her eyes from the door.
"Let's go see," Kara said.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The cashier looked at the three men like they were insane as she was putting their items in the bag.
But, it was pretty weird when she went and touched Leo's hair, then Klaus's and Mon el's.
"Your hair is exquisite," She mused, rustling with their curls. The woman had short grey curly hair and had pale white skin. She wore grandmother like glasses and a lot of perfume. Her name tag said Phyllis.
The boys shook under her hand as it touched the soft tufts of hair on their head.
"Especially your hair," She turned to Klaus. "It's so natural."
Klaus didn't say anything because he was that weirded out. He felt violated again. He literally wanted to rip her arm off right in the moment, but he knew Caroline would kill him.
"And you, but I like your hair normal. You're amazing in the movies you are in," She continued to play with their hair on his and Klaus's head at the same time. The people behind them in like looked horrified at the sight. The man behind them also had short curly black hair so he slowly backed up and moved to another line.
"And you, you are just so so adorable." She pinched Mon el's cheek.
The people behind them slowly stepped away, along with the people behind them. The woman stopped and it looked like her mood totally shifted.
"We're in a rush can you ring us up now?" Leo hurried, not wanting to touch his now even messier hair.
"Of course Leo, Niklaus, and Mon el," Her voice was more steady and robotic now instead of her soothing, creepy one from before.
They're eyes widened. What?
"How do you know our names?" Klaus squinted. He knew his full name, Niklaus. Not Nik, not Klaus, Niklaus.
"I know everyone's names. And you guys are special," Her voice was still robotic.
She seemed like she was in some kind of trance. Her eyes were a different shade of blue than before. Brighter, almost fluorescent with no hint of any other color inside the outer ring of her pupil.
"Can you ring us up please we need to leave. Now," Mon el rushed her.
"IN A MINUTE!" She snapped, but she was still in some kind of trance.
A man rushed over. "I am so sorry guys," He apologized, snapping his fingers in front of the woman's face.
"What's going on?" Leo asked as the stepped back.
"Who are you?" Klaus asked, always wanting to know. Paranoia, its a default setting these days.
"I'm the manager of this place," He said. "Phyllis here is sort of different. She's my wife. She's on this medication ever since she got this surgery and it makes her very loopy."
"She was touching my hair… our hair…" Mon el shivered.
"I am so sorry."
"But she knew our names…" Klaus added.
"Well she obviously knows Leo's. It's an honor to meet you," The man greeted.
Leo shook his hand and smiled warily.
"But what about us?" Mon el interjected.
"I have no idea…" The manager looked into his wife's eyes. They were still bright blue. "What's wrong with your eyes?"
"Nothing," She muttered.
"And your voice…"
Klaus felt his phone buzz in his pocket. He saw an old message from Caroline re-notify him.
20 min ago
Caroline:
I swear Klaus if you didn't get me my ice cream you're sleeping on the floor.
He smiled but then saw an unknown number that texted him.
Now
Unknown:
She's my spy.
Klaus squinted and saw that Mon el and Leo were also in the chat.
"Did you guys get this message?" He said to them.
They looked at their phones.
"What the hell does that mean?" Mon el gasped.
"I don't know but its not good. We have to go now."
Phyllis fell asleep, which was weird to do at work, and the manager, Bob, let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm so sorry for the trouble. I don't know what got into her. But i'll give you this," He started to ring up the items. "Half off of the full price."
"Perfect, thank you," they said.
Caroline grabbed a frying pan from the kitchen and the started to walk out. They opened the door and stepped out on the wrap around deck.
They felt a gush of wind fly past them.
"Who's there?" Caroline said into the darkness.
"Show yourself!" Grace demanded.
"Or we will kill you!" Kara added. The other two looked at her. "What? It sounds threatening shut up."
"Don't even try because you will lose!" Caroline threatened.
They heard someone scream and ran back into the house, shut the door and closed the blinds.
"Lock the doors," Kara ordered. Caroline sped around the house locking all of the doors with in seconds.
"It's done," They ran into Grace's bedroom on the middle floor, which is weird because Caroline's was right there on that floor, but they were going to look for the boys who would come in through that level.
"Any sign of them?" Kara asked.
"No," Caroline sighed from the window. Grace got under her sheets.
"Isn't it weird that we're scared of something that we can beat instantly?" Kara said, sitting on a chair.
"Yeah, but lately there has been weird things happening. Like the dreams…" Caroline started before Kara cut her off.
"Dreams?"
"So far Gypsy and Leo has had weird dreams involving the same things and people," Grace explained.
"The person in Gypsy's dream was one of the two killers in Leo's dream," Caroline said.
"Who was the other killer?"
"Mikael Mikaelson. Klaus's step father who despised him with all of his cold heart. He was abusive and killed his brother," Caroline explained.
"What? He killed his brother?"
"Yes. He snapped Klaus's neck at a bar he was at and went after Elijah. Klaus had told Elijah, his brother, that he would be back around 10, but he was still at the bar by 10:30, fully aware, and when he went to leave he got his neck snapped by Mikael. Now he blames himself be because if he just came back to the house at 10 Elijah would still be here and Mikael would not of killed him."
"Mikael would've done it anyway. It's not Klaus's fault."
"That's what I told him over and over again Kara, he wont accept it. Before I met him he was the person next door who was always to himself. He didn't talk, he didn't eat, he didn't sleep. He didn't do any of those things till I came into his life. I pushed myself into his life, I wanted to help the man who was haunted day and night by memories and his father."
"Go on…"
"When I started to come over and bring him food he started to expect my company. He didn't smile, he didn't laugh, he didn't ease up, he only watched me. I didn't even know he was British until he talked for the first time on like the third day I came over. After many long talks he started to loosen up. I came over to his place some nights and he came to mine others and we called them our little sleepovers. We would talk about his past, talk about other things, maybe order pizza, have a mini blood feast, then settle in and watch a movie. We started to watch The Office recently and every night when he comes over or I go over we watch it until we fall asleep, or until I fall asleep. Then he shuts it so I don't miss anything."
"Keep going this is interesting and I LOVE The Office."
"It's amazing. So his sister Rebekah would come over sometimes—"
"How many siblings does he have?" Grace asked.
"Elijah, Rebekah, Kol, Finn, who died, Henrik, who also died, Freya, long story with her that i'm not getting into, and now Leo. So, 7."
"Holy crap. That's a lot of kids."
"Yup. Anyway Rebekah would come over sometimes to check in on him. She pulled me aside once and told me how thankful she was that I came into his life. She said that before he met me, he was always so irritated. He always wanted to kill Mikael and get his revenge."
"Is Mikael still out there?" Kara asked.
Caroline nodded. "Thats why i'm scared right now, it could be him. He came after Elijah, someone who Klaus loves dearly and I don't want to be cocky but… i'm pretty sure he loves me dearly too."
"In what way?" Kara grinned.
"Family."
"Yeah that's bull," Grace rolled her eyes.
"Well, Rebekah said that ever since I've been with him and talking him through everything I just made him more bearable and in better health. Sure he's a vampire but he could still be a mess, a very original mess. She said that he's better rested now and he doesn't always look so tired and like he's going to collapse of exhaustion at any second."
"He didn't sleep?"
"Or eat. He wouldn't."
"Why?"
"He feels like if he does, something will go wrong. Like he's too vulnerable or if he's out of it he won't be able to protect and stay on guard."
"I never knew that about him," Kara said.
"I know, no one really does and I'm not supposed to talk about it but I trust you guys," Caroline sighed. "But just don't mention it to Klaus."
"Of course."
"Do you know how I met Leo?" Grace asked. They shook their heads.
"I was actually walking into my apartment building. I was holding big bags from the mall and I tripped in the hallway in my new heels I got. I hit the ground hard and then he held his hand out for me. Before I saw his face I said thank you and then when I looked at him in the eyes I realized who he was. He looked me in the eyes and asked me if I was okay. He was genuinely concerned."
"Aw," They gushed.
"I told him how big of a fan I was and he was like 'aww thanks'. He put on that idol act and just was overly thankful when I told him that I was a big fan but, he seemed to see something in me. He asked me where I lived in the building and I was surprised he lived there, in this small apartment building. I told him my room number and turns out he lived next door. He invited me over for a drink, we laughed and had a good time."
"Thats an awesome way to meet your soulmate," Kara grinned. "I met Mon el—"
Out of nowhere they heard a huge crash outside.
"OKAY WHAT THE HELL!" Caroline screamed.
"I'm going out there," Kara said boldly.
"No Kara!" Grace grabbed her arm.
"Its fine! I got this!" Kara said.
"Seriously now we have to follow," Caroline groaned. "I have a bad feeling though, I feel like Mikael wasn't done after he killed Elijah."
"I doubt its Mikael," Grace said. "But who knows…"
"Let's go."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The boys walked out of the store and into the parking lot. They felt rain start to sprinkle down.
"Why does it always have to be raining." Mon el said. "Rain is depressing."
"I don't hate it, its calming the noise, it reminds me of white noise," Leo said.
"I like thunderstorms, ever since I was a kid my siblings and I would always take a guess on how many crashes of thunder we would hear during the storm," Klaus told them.
"What if the storm lasted through the night and you went to sleep?" Mon el asked.
"We wouldn't. If it lasted through the night we would all stay up without our parents knowing, since we slept for the most part in the same room, we would just tally the walls with the scores."
"That game is interesting, I never thought about that," Leo said.
"Yeah well I haven't done it for a while. The last time I played was with Elijah and Rebekah a few decades ago."
"We should try it," Leo patted Klaus on the shoulder. "It seems to storm a lot here.
"Definitely," Klaus tried to hide the sadness behind his words, he did it with Elijah a lot. Leo saw it, Leo knew it.
"My hands are totally breaking right now," Mon el complained, holding a billion bags.
"Same here," Leo answered.
Mon el popped the trunk and lugged the bags inside. They all added the bags into the trunk and forced it closed.
"That was hard," Mon el said. Klaus and Leo opened their mouth to say something.
"Thats—"
"Don't you dare say it."
The other two laughed.
Mon el sat in the driver's seat and Klaus sat next to him in the passenger's seat this time around. Leo sat in the middle in the back.
"I'm still freaked out about that," Leo started.
"Me too…" Klaus agreed looking at his phone for messages from Caroline or the other two girls, Barry even.
"Anything from the girls?" Mon el asked.
"Actually yes. They all texted me, Grace, Kara and Care."
"Me too," Leo checked his phone.
"What did they say?" Mon el asked
"From Caroline, we're being attacked! Leo help us Klaus won't answer. From Grace, Leo I swear to god answer your phone or I will die by this thing attacking us and come back to haunt you. From Kara, Leo answer us now, seriously."
"From Grace, Klaus answer us we've and by we've I mean mostly Caroline have been spamming you so answer, now. From Kara, wtf why aren't you guys answering! And from Caroline, warning there's a lot so be ready, Klaus what the hell, I think someone is trying to kill us. Klaus answer me! Klaus wtf. Klaus come on. Answer me, now. Can you come home now?! When are you coming home? Come home now! I'm spamming Leo. And Mon el. Klaus you suck. We're hiding out in a room. Hey. Come home, I don't miss you. But you better have gotten me my ice or else you're dead and sleeping on the floor or in the bathtub tonight." Klaus put his phone down and rubbed his reddened eyes. "And just so you know every time I paused was a new message," He showed Leo and Mon el the phone.
"Wow. That's all I can say." Mon el chuckled.
"I guess Barry is doing a good job," Leo grinned.
"Or maybe Caroline just misses you," Mon el added.
Klaus let out a low laugh. "Oh god now Grace is spamming me," Leo braced himself. "Leo we're under attack. Caroline is freaking out. Kara is going out there. Where the f are you three did you die or get into a car crash? Well we're going to die! Caroline spammed Klaus. Kara has too much pride to spam Mon el. Caroline thinks it's Mik-" Leo stopped talking.
Klaus shot up, suddenly very into this. "Mikael? She thinks its Mikael?!"
"That's what Grace wrote," Leo read the message again. "But we know it's Barry so it doesn't matter."
"I know that, but if she thinks its Mikael they could really hurt Barry, and and she's probably really scared," Klaus looked down at his hands. "I've told her all of the stories about he used to torture me, if she thinks its Mikael she is probably terrified, not just for her, but for me and you guys too."
"Continue reading Leo," Mon el said.
"She's kinda freaking out. She doesn't know. Klaus won't answer her. You won't answer me, or her, or Kara. We didn't even try to text Barry because he never, ever answers and you always answer and Caroline and Kara says Klaus and Mon el always answer. Okay I'll stop texting you. But come home. Please. And PS make sure Klaus get Caroline that ice cream because she will kill him and probably all of you. Bye," Leo finished. "You got her the ice cream right?"
"Three tubs," Klaus murmured.
"Good man right here," Mon el laughed.

The girls walked out onto the porch with kitchen supplies as weapons which they didn't really need because two are vampires and one is supergirl.
It looked like fire flew past them and then they saw lightning in the distance. The rain started to wet their hair.
"Seriously!" Kara yelled. "You know you can't beat us!"
"Mikael?!" Caroline asked.
"It's not Mikael!" Grace said.
"You don't know that!"
Truth be told, Caroline was terrified. She knows what that man as done to Klaus. She knows that Elijah as Klaus's closest ally and now she is very close to him, making her the perfect target.
The girls ran back into the house when they heard a car swerve up the street. The boys got out of the car and saw them.
Caroline sped down the stairs with all force and rammed herself into Klaus's chest. She buried her face into the nape of his neck and clenched his shirt for dear life.
The other girls did the same, jumping into their arms and not wanting to let go. Grace ran her hands through Leo's curls and Kara clung to Mon el's neck.
Caroline unwrapped herself from Klaus and saw his grin beaming down on her. Grace looked Leo in the eyes and broke the contact when Kara started to speak.
"There-there was something after us!"
"There was fire! Lightning!" Grace exclaimed.
"Weird noises and I got a bad feeling," Caroline said. "I thought it was Mikael."
Klaus eyed her. "I assure you, he doesn't know who you are darling. He would never hurt you because I would be there to protect you."
"Yeah me too!" The other boys joined. Kara and Grace rolled there eyes, typical guy answer.
"But what if it was Klaus…" Grace said.
"Hey you were the one saying it wasn't him," Caroline said.
"Yeah but it could've been.."
Caroline gave her a look.
"Hey where's Barry?" Kara noticed, looking around.
"Hey guys!" Barry said from the top of the stairs by the front door.
"Why are you not dressed in your very flamboyant outfit?!" Caroline said in shock.
Barry shrugged and leaned up against the side of the door. "What are you talking about? I've been here all night."
"It was you!" Caroline yelled. "You were the one scaring us to death."
"I think the death part is a but much, being that you're already dead, sort of."
Grace rolled her eyes in disgust. "We won the game fair and square so why did you have to creep us out! I almost took out the folder that Will gave me!" She muttered the last part.
"Oh don't worry, we'll get back at them somehow…" Kara crossed her arms. "Wait what folder?"
"Yeah Grace what folder?" Caroline looked at her.
"When did you get a folder and why wouldn't you open it?" Klaus pried, obviously paranoid. Again, it was a default setting.
She sighed. "It was at the airport earlier, after security, my high school friend, Will, gave me a yellow package folder with ink written on it. I believe it said future minds or something. He also said open this in a time a of distress and I felt like it was a pretty good example of a moment of distress."
"And you didn't think to tell us?" Leo said.
"Hold on, do you think it means something bad? Why would a man, you probably haven't seen in like ten years, come up to out out of the blue, hand you a creepy packaged folder, say to open it in a time of distress only, not give you a lot of information and you don't find that weird? Like at all?" Klaus started.
"Of course I found it weird Klaus but I didn't want to cause a panic."
"Okay so we need to open it," Leo reasoned.
"No, we shouldn't." Kara interjected.
"Why?" Klaus and Leo answered in unison.
"Wow you really are brothers. I agree with Kara, we shouldn't open it," Caroline joined.
"Me too. I've been in situations like this before, or i've heard about them on TV or in books. But you know you should always stick to your instincts," Barry shouted from up the stairs by the door.
"You don't get to talk. You scared us," Caroline pouted.
"It was their idea!" Barry shouted.
The three turned to the guilty boys and gave them a look.
"Seriously?!" They said.
They didn't say anything, their lips just pressed together in a tight line.
"He's lying, he came up with it!" Mon el lied.
"Okay well as punishment you guys have to take in the bags," Grace reasoned and the three girls high-fived.
"We were the ones who bought them!" Leo whined.
"Too bad," Caroline grinned as the three walked up the stairs.

vacation/all/detailpage/398/better-together
Oh and I don't know if I've mentioned this but this house is actually in Duck, NC while they're staying in Aruba. I needed a place I knew well and could have them do fun things in, also enough rooms for everyone.
