I do not own the Vampire Diaries
Caroline regretted her drinking game with Kol when she left the bar. She knew it wouldn't do her any good, yet she did it anyway. The minute she walked in the house, Mikael smelled the alcohol on her. He hadn't said anything, just told her to change; they had a job to do.
So she changed and followed him through the woods, stumbling most of the way. Every time she fell, he would stop and patiently wait for her to pick herself back up. He finally stopped and told her what they were doing. Actually, he showed her what she was going to do.
A group of wolves had moved in the area and he tough it had something to do with Niklaus. So he wanted her to watch them all night until eight o'clock at night the next day, where he would retrieve her and see if anything happened while he was gone.
He had left without saying anything else, living her slightly nervous. This wasn't Mikael's style, he never let things slide by. Also, this job, this was a job for rookie vampires, not her. He was defiantly up to something, she just didn't know what. One thing was for sure, she wasn't in any hurry to find out.
By the time 8 o'clock came around, she could barely stand. The alcohol in her system had faded, but she tired and thirty, her feet hurt, her head was spinning, and her mouth tasted absolutely disgusting. All she wanted to do was go home, but Mikael was nowhere to be found.
Giving up on waiting, and not really caring about the punishment she would get from disobeying, she dragged herself home. Once she got there, she went straight for blood. She kept all her blood in a freezer in the basement, and went there right away, draining two bags with no issues. She grabbed a third one just in case and headed upstairs to change.
She had just opened it and taken a sip when she was grabbed by the throat and slammed against the wall. She growled in anger and looked up to meet Mikael's eyes. "Not having a good day either?" She asked sarcastically.
"I told you to wait there for me," He growled.
"You weren't showing up and I was getting tired," She hissed. "Besides, they were doing the same thing they did the entire time, nothing!"
"You shouldn't have bothered to come home then," He said, grabbing her and slammed her on top of the piano. "Hold her down."
Next thing Caroline knew, two pairs of hands grabbed her arms and held her against the piano. She knew she could out muscle them, she was probably older then both of them combined, plus she had just had two blood bags, but she wouldn't. She couldn't out muscle Mikael and that's exactly what she would have to do to get out of here, so she laid there and waited to see what he was going to do.
"I honestly do not know why I keep you alive Caroline. You are absolutely useless. You constantly fail me, are always disappointing me and proving every day how much of an idiot you are," He said, and suddenly jammed something in her neck.
She growled in pain and felt the burning sensation start in her neck and throat, running through her veins. He had vervained her. He continued to do so, three more times before forcing the two vampires to sit her up.
"You have a lot of proving to do Caroline, and I suggest you start by watching over those wolves and make sure no one comes and goes without you knowing about it," He growled, and stormed out of the house.
Caroline yanked her arms away from the vampires and shot them both dirty looks. "Leave before I kill you," She rasped. The vervain hadn't done that much damage to her, she had built up an immune system to it, but it was messing with her voice at the moment.
"We did what Mikael asked," one said.
"Yeah,, no reason to freak out," The other said.
"No reason to freak out? I just got vervained, don't tell me not to freak out," Caroline hissed, sliding off the piano to fully face them.
"It was either you or us, we were just looking out for ourselves. You would have done the same thing," one snapped.
"You have no idea what I would have done; you don't know me, so let's not pretend you do," Caroline said, taking a closer step towards them. "If I ever see you two again, you're dead."
"What's wrong with right now, cupcake? Have a little tickle in her throat?" the one taunted.
Caroline growled and grabbed his arm, twisting it around his back and shoved him against the piano, holding him down with one hand.
Alex walking in the house, humming no particular tune and stopped when he saw what was happening. Caroline had Dred shoved against the piano and Scott was moving forward to help.
Alex rushed forward and put himself between Caroline, shoving Scott back. He didn't want anyone getting hurt, he didn't want Scott and Dred getting hurt. They were vampires that got sucked into working for Mikael, just like he did,
"Hey now, how about everyone calms down?" Alex suggested.
"Tell that to your crazy friend. We did what Mikael told us and now she's jumping down our throats," Scott snapped.
"Caroline, I've know these two for a while, they're cool. Do you mind letting Dred up?" Alex asked. Caroline shot him a dirty look for picking their sides, so Alex added," Please?"
Caroline let out a frustrated scream, and twisted is arm once more before she stepped back and released him. It was frustrating having Alex side with them. He was her protégé, who did he think he was?
"Why don't you guys get out of here?" Alex suggested, seeing that Caroline was obviously in a bad mood and really angry. He waited until they left to face her.
"You have some great friends Alex, they just took part in me getting vervained," Caroline snapped.
"Is that what happened to your voice? I mean, don't get me wrong, it's actually pretty hot," Alex said, trying to lighten the mood.
"Glad my pain is such a turn on to you," Caroline said.
"No offense, but there's only one blonde that's turning me on at the moment, and you're not her," Alex said, a smiled spreading across her face.
"Let me guess, I'm 50 years too young to be her?" Caroline asked sarcastically.
"I never realized there was such a small age difference between you guys," Alex frowned. "You're a lot older than I thought."
"Thank you Alex, that's what every girl wants to hear."
"You're a girl? Well aren't you full of surprises tonight."
Caroline replied by flipping him off over her shoulder as she headed upstairs.
"Are you coming tonight?" Alex asked.
"I just got vervained in the jugular, I'm not in the mood to drink," Caroline said.
"Well I'm still going out. No point in looking this good to sit around the house pouting," Alex said.
"Hope you get lucky," Caroline muttered, heading to her room.
"So do I," Alex sighed, his blood starting to pump just at the thought of the blonde Original with dazzling blue eyes.
The music in the club was loud and had a sexy beat to it. Bodies were brushing together, people were kissing passionately, and Alex loved it. He danced his way to the bar where he ordered a drink. He felt bad Caroline wasn't there, so he pulled out his phone and sent a text to her, telling her he kissed her. He broke into a smile when she replied bite me. He was going to reply when a voice called out his name. He looked up to find the beautiful blonde that had been on his mind all night coming towards him.
"Hey beautiful," He grinned, pulling her into a hug.
"You're not going to comment on how I look? I'm truly hurt, and to think I got all dressed up for you," Kol said from behind Rebekah.
"Sorry Kol, you're not my type," Alex said easily.
"Well what about me?" a heavily accented voice asked. A man stood behind Kol, and something about him made Alex tense up.
"I don't know you to like you," Alex said, untangling himself from Rebekah.
"I don't know either mate, but from the way you cling to my sister, something tells me I'll no you soon enough," He said.
"Ignore him," Rebekah said, glaring in his direction. This conversation was going to get nowhere. "This is my older brother Klaus."
Klaus eyes up the vampire Rebekah was already protecting. He seemed like no immediate threat to the family, but he was still going to keep an eye on him. That was the only real reason why he came. He had heard Rebekah met someone and wanted to meet him. Rebekah had been upset, but she would get over it, and if she didn't, it didn't make any real difference to him.
"I suggest you don't cross me or my family. My sister seems to like you and I would hate to sever your head from your neck," He said.
"Noted," Alex said calmly.
"While you guys are starring each other down, I'm getting a drink," Kol said, wondering off. Klaus followed him and Rebekah relaxed and turned back towards Alex. He was still starring after Klaus, so she put a hand on his arm to get his attention.
The dazzling smile she game him made him forget all about Klaus and focus on her. "Can I get you a drink?" He asked. She nodded and he turned to get her a drink.
Caroline would disapprove of how he was handling this. She probably would get the hell out of here, but Alex wasn't an Original expert and didn't know who this Klaus dude was. All he cared about was getting a drink for the beautiful lady on his arm.
Caroline should have stayed home. She was in a reckless mood and was hungry, making her dangerous. She stopped just outside the bar Alex was in when she heard a noise. She followed it to an ally where a woman was struggling between two men.
"Please stop," The women begged. One reached out and ripped her shirt, causing her to scream. The other one slapped her, drawing blood. Caroline was going to interfere and stop them anyway but the smell of blood changed her plans completely.
"Now gentlemen, when a woman says no, that usually means no," Caroline said, casually leaning against the ally wall.
"Go, get help! " The women shrieked.
"What, am I not good enough?" Caroline asked.
"Get out of here," One snapped.
"Or what, are you going to rape me?" Caroline laughed. "Come get me then."
The lady was grabbed by one guy while the other walked over to Caroline, grabbing her and slamming her against the wall. She couldn't help but laugh.
"What's your problem, huh?" He asked, pressing her against the wall with his body.
"Would you believe me if I say I'm having a bad day?" Caroline asked, smiling.
"Well your day is about to get a whole lot worse," He said, his hand reaching for her breast. She grabbed his hand and slowly bent it back, never taking her eyes off him.
"I don't think that's possible, but yours is," She smiled, flashing her fangs and sinking them in his throat. She drained him quickly and shoved him away. "Do you want to try anything?" She asked the other guy. He let the girl go and ran, and Caroline let him.
The female slowly backed away from Caroline, terrified. "What are you?" She whispered.
"I just saved you and all you care about is what I am? Typical, ungrateful human," Caroline sighed, and vamped sed over to the girl and pinned her against the wall. "Forget about me, I was never here. All you remember is some guys who tried to hurt you but ran away. Do you understand?"
"Yes," The girl whispered. Caroline blinked and stepped away, letting the girl go. She turned around and started to walk away. "Thank you!" the girl called after her.
"Go home!" Caroline replied, not turning around.
She entered the bar and scanned the crowd, looking for Alex. He was sitting at a table with Rebekah, and Kol, but someone else. He had his back to her, so she couldn't see who he was exactly. She focused on their conversation and listened to what they were saying, which just happened to be her.
"You never did tell us where my drinking buddy is," Kol said.
"Yeah, where is Caroline? I want her to meet my brother so he'll live us alone," Rebekah said.
"It takes a lot more than a pretty face to get rid of me Rebekah," The other guy said. Caroline's heart sped up at he sound of his voice because it was the voice she heard the other day just before she killed his hybrids. Niklaus Mikaelson.
She needed to get Alex out of there, out of this entire situation. This had become way too dangerous. She refocused on them, debating on when to make her presence known.
"You're wasting your time Bekah, Nik doesn't process a heart," Kol said.
"It's not his heart he'll use when he sees her," Rebekah muttered.
"No, absolutely no. My drinking buddy is not having sex with my brother," Kol said.
"Where is this famous Caroline?" Klaus asked.
That's when Caroline decided to head towards them.
"She ran into a couple guys earlier that vervained her. She's at home pouting," Alex was saying as Caroline approached the table.
"I don't pout," She snapped, slapping the back of his head, sitting next to him and next to Klaus.
"Caroline, you have a lot of drinking to catch up on," Kol said by way of greeting.
"It's a challenge I greatly accept," Caroline said, stealing Alex's drink.
"I heard you ran into some vervain earlier tonight," Rebekah said.
"Yeah, well, let's say this world is going to be down two more vampires once I'm sober," Caroline said, casting Alex a side look.
"They're good guys Caroline," he said quietly.
"They vervained me Alex, and by doing so sighing their own death sentence," Caroline said. "I'm conflicted over whether to burn them alive or slowly cut their heads off."
"May I suggest torture," Klaus said.
She turned and looked at him for the first time, smiling slowly. "That doesn't sound too bad."
"See? Told you they were get along," Rebekah said.
"They're bonding over torturing," Kol pointed out.
"I never said they would be perfect," Rebekah grumbled.
"They're bonding over torturing two good guys who made a mistake," Alex said, meeting Caroline's eyes.
"Oh God," Caroline said rolling her eyes. "Relax Alex, I'm in a dark mood, let me brood."
"Dark moods are my specialty," Klaus said, drawing her attention away from Alex and to him.
"I didn't catch your name," Caroline said.
"Klaus, Klaus Mikaelson," he smiled, revealing dimples that could make anyone's heart melt.
"The hybrid," Caroline said.
His smile widened and he asked," You've heard of me? All good things I hope."
"None," Caroline said easily, cocking her head to the side and, smiling. "You don't seem all that scary."
"Trust me love, I'm the devil in disguise," Klaus said.
"I always enjoy a good disguise," Caroline said.
The two of them shared a smile while the others watched on.
"You hooked my drinking buddy up with my brother," Kol pouted.
"I know," Rebekah smiled. "Beautiful isn't it?"
"Just perfect," Alex grumbled, watching darkly as Caroline openly flirted with the hybrid, signing her own death sentence.
Hey everyone, thanks for the reviews and please do so for this chapter, but I got a few reviews that I want to address and answer some questions. I definitely will be adding more Caroline and Kol moments and trust me, they will become friends. As for the whole Kennett thing, Bonnie will come into this story later and you will see some Kennett moments, but I'm not going to go into depth about their relationship. I love Kennett, but this is a Klaroline story, and my last story I got so swept up into Kennett, I lost sight of who the story is really about. Sorry if that disappoints people, but I want this to be mostly about Klaroline. Maybe my next story will be a Kennett story, I truly do love their relationship. Thanks and please review!
