I do not own the Vampire Diaries
Caroline had no idea how long they stood there, and at first she didn't care, but she had to get herself together. "We should probably more," She muttered.
"Probably," Alex agreed, but neither made any move to break apart.
"This is going to get weird soon," She said.
"Why? Because you're only in your bra and underwear with a really big shirt, or because your bra and underwear is wet and soaking through?" He asked.
"And you ruined the moment," She said, moving out of his arms.
"How about I make up to you with shots of tequila later?" Alex asked.
"I don't think that's a good idea, especially after what happened earlier," Caroline said, walking over to her dresser and pulled out some cloths. "Maybe another time."
"Normally I would argue with you on this, but O think you're right, we don't want to push Mikael too far," He said.
"No, we wouldn't," Caroline agreed. "Also I don't think you should come over tonight, not if you plan on drinking tonight."
"Fine, I guess I'll just have to stay out late taking shots and making out with Rebekah," Alex sighed, and Caroline heard the dreamy sound in his voice.
"What's going on between the two of you anyway?" Caroline asked. "Turn."
"What do you mean?" He frowned, turning to face the wall.
"I mean exactly what I meant. What exactly is going on between you and Rebekah?"
Alex wasn't really sure himself. He liked her, she was a lot of fun, but what was really going on? "I don't know. I mean, she's a lot of fun, and obviously hot, but…"
"She's an Original," Caroline finished.
"It would be stupid if I got involved with her, especially since I judged you about the whole Klaus deal," Alex said.
"Yes it would," Caroline agreed, grabbing a jacket from her closet and walking over to him, freshly dressed. She turned him around and took his face in-between her hands. "But luckily for you I'm not a hypocrite and if you want to make out with Rebekah, or if you want to start something with her, I will stand by you."
Alex smiled and placed a kiss on her forehead. "I don't deserve you," He said, and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"No you don't," She agreed while he helped her into her jacket.
"You may not be a hypocrite, but you're definitely not modest," Alex muttered.
"Hey!" Caroline said, punching his arm.
"Ouch!" He complained, following her out the room.
"Suck it up buttercup." Caroline said.
"Where are you going anyway?" He asked.
"Mikael asked me to test three potential hunters the other day and I never got around to it," She said.
"He asked?"
Caroline laughed at the sound of shock in his voice and corrected herself. "Okay, he demanded, but since I'm also optimistic and like to look at things in a positive manner, I'm pretending he asked."
"Why would you want to do that?" Alex grumbled.
"It makes living with him easier."
"I still don't know how you've done it this long, and why you've done it this long."
"Through optimistic thinking, positive thoughts, meditation, and alcohol, lots and lots of alcohol. As to why I stayed, that's slightly personal," Caroline said, flashing his a smile.
"What the hell do you mean it's a personal reason? Second off, are you the reason why there's a shortage of alcohol in the world?" Alex asked.
Caroline laughed as they entered the living room. Three vampires that were sitting on the couch stood up immediately and eyes Caroline and Alex.
"These the guys you're going to train?" Alex asked, glaring at them.
"Yupp, they don't look to scary," Caroline said.
"Do you want me to stick around?" He asked.
"I'll be fine Alex," Caroline smiled, placing her hands on his shoulder. "They are no match for a 1000 year old vampire who's optimistic and meditates."
He cracked a smile despite himself and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Call if you need anything," he said on his way out.
"Have fun!" She yelled, facing the vampires. "So, who's going to torture me first?"
Alex laughed as Rebekah swore in anger. This was her third time in a row losing to darts and Alex was to blame every time. At the last second he would sneak up behind her and wrap his arm around her, or kiss her neck.
"Stop it!" She scolded.
"I don't think you want me to," He laughed, pressing opened mouthed kisses against her neck. She leaned back into him and wrapped an arm around his neck.
"My brothers will see," She said.
He snuc his arm around her waist and pulled her flat against his chest, leaving no space between his front and her back. "Let them watch," He whispered against her ear.
Rebekah gasped at the feeling of him against her and tried to fight against the feelings he was causing. She didn't have the best of luck with any relationships, especially with Niklaus around, and considering he was sitting at the bar just a mere six feet away. She was nervous.
"You're tensing up, just relax," Alex whispered.
"I would feel more comfortable if Caroline was here to distract them," She muttered.
After both Mikaelson brothers found out Caroline wasn't coming, they had both gone to the bar and Alex and Rebekah had gone and started playing darts. Every now and then either Mikaelson would glance over and watch what the couple was doing, so Alex knew exactly what Rebekah meant.
Somehow Caroline had become an important factor in their relationship. She kept the brothers distracted so the two of them didn't have to worry.
"See that you do," Rebekah whispered, purposely pressing herself against him. Alex groaned and held the little blonde devil against him while, for the moment, forgetting the other blonde in his life.
Come on Care," Alex whined.
"Not going to happen," Caroline said.
"It's been three days, Mikael can't be that suspicious," Alex said.
"This is Mikael we're talking about," Caroline pointed out.
"True, but you need a break from that hunt team, and I think a night out drinking with a couple Original brothers will do you good," He said.
"I take it Rebekah won't let you get any with her brothers watching?" She teased.
"I haven't kissed her in days Caroline," Alex said, dropping to his knees in front of her. "Please, I'm begging you, one night so I can make out with Rebekah."
"Wow, you are desperate," Caroline laughed, leaning back on the couch. "So you want me to come along tonight, not because you think I need it, but because you want to get lucky?"
"Yes," Alex winced.
"Sorry, I love you, but not happening," Caroline smirked, standing up and going around him.
"Give me one good reason why you can't," Alex said.
"I can give you three," Caroline said as her hunt team walked in the door. "Sherryl, David, and Eric."
"You're not coming because of your hunt team?" Alex asked bewildered.
"Yes, tonight's a big night for them. If they pass, they are officially apart of the hunt team and are Mikael's minions," Caroline said.
"I'm so proud," Alex said sarcastically.
"So am I," Caroline said dramatically placing a hand over her unbeating heart.
"I can't make you change your mind?" Alex sighed.
"Nope, but good luck, hope you have fun," Caroline said, walking out with her hunt team following.
"I'm going to kill your sister," Rebekah muttered.
"She's going to get herself killed all by herself," Alex said, running his fingers lightly threw her hair.
"This is become unacceptable," Rebekah said.
Alex laughed and leaned over, nuzzling her neck. "Are you trying to get me alone Rebekah?" He whispered, sucking on her neck.
"No, three days ago I wanted you alone, not all I want to do is through you on this table and ravish you," Rebekah said.
"Your bothers are here," Alex said.
"Your brother are here," He reminded her.
"Let the watch," She hissed, suddenly grabbing his face and crushing their lips together. Alex should've been surprised, but he wasn't. Four days no kissing, no touching, the sexual tension between them was high. Alex grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her closer, resulting in her straddling his lap. As much as he wanted to take full advantage of the beautiful woman in his lap, they were interrupted by a voice behind them.
"It's bad enough my drinking buddy hasn't been coming, I don't need to see my sister get groped," Kol complained loudly, sitting across from them.
"Go away," Rebekah snapped, pulling away enough to glare at him.
"I'm afraid I agree with Kol little sister," Klaus said, also sitting across from them. This time Rebekah moved off him and sat next to him, glaring at both her brothers.
"Remind me to force Caroline to come, whether she likes it or not," Alex muttered.
"Where is she anyway?" Kol asked.
"The same place she's been for the last three days," Alex said.
"How long does it take to deal with a few vampires?" Kol whined.
"Caroline's going through a dark age," Alex said, which was true. He's never seen her this dark or angry before. She was becoming reckless and doing crazy things, like befriending Originals and not handing them off the Mikael.
"What do you mean?" Rebekah asked.
"It means that she can end them whenever she wants, she's just playing with them right now,: Alex shrugged.
"What would happen if her toys were taken away?" Rebekah asked, an evil smirk appearing on her face.
"Well I suppose she would have to come and drink her sorrows away," Alex grinned, a plan forming in his mind.
"Do you know where she is?" Rebekah asked.
"I can find her," Alex promised.
"Nik, Kol, you guys coming?" Rebekah asked, grabbing Alex and dragging him out of the booth. Kol and Klaus exchanged smiled before getting up to follow the two lovebirds.
Caroline ran as fast as she could, slowing down when they fell too far behind. She stopped and listened, waiting until she thought they were in a good position to attack. When they didn't, she let out a sigh and waited until they approached her.
"You just waited a good opportunity," Caroline sighed, watching as they surrounded her. "My hands are tied behind my back with ropes soaked in vervain, I'm weakened! Yet none of you made a move and-"Caroline stopped mid-sentence and cocked her head to the side, listening.
She sighed, recognizing who was approaching, she should've known he wasn't going to let this continue.
"I'm sorry guys, I truly am, I actually liked the three of you," Caroline sighed, hearing the vampires coming faster.
"What are you talking about?" Sherryl frowned.
"This has been fun, the most I've had in over a decade, but apparently my brother making out with someone is more important," Caroline said.
She could see the confusion on their faces, and for a second she actually felt bad, but she didn't have to see it for long, as Alex, Rebekah, Kol, and Klaus appeared in the clearing. Kol and Klaus took one while Alex took the last one.
"Need help?" Rebekah asked, nodding towards her ropes.
"No," Caroline sighed, easily ripping the ropes off.
"You could do that the whole time?" Alex asked, glaring at her.
"Yupp," Caroline said, rubbing her wrist.
"Then why didn't you?" Alex asked.
""Where's the fun in that?" Caroline frowned,
"You have issues," Alex said shaking his head.
"Says the person with a heart in his hand," Caroline laughed, walking past him and keeping her back to the Originals.
"Where are you going?" Alex asked.
"I'm going to the bar. I'm thirsty, and alcohol seems like the best choice. See you there!" Caroline called, flashing off.
Caroline was already on her third drink when Kol and Klaus showed. "Took you long enough," She said.
"My apologies, but there were a few bodies to deal with," Klaus said.
"Thanks to you I have to drink at least three times as fast, just ti catch up," Kol said, and spun around in his chair as a blonde walked by. "You kids have fun, daddy has a blonde to chase after."
Caroline smirked into her drink as Kol stalked after the poor girl. "I never saw your brother into blondes," She commented.
"Kol likes a number of women, really, he's not picky," Klaus said.
"But blondes? Doesn't really suit him," Caroline shrugged.
"Maybe he's after the wrong blonde," Klaus said.
Caroline knew he was referring to her, and looked up at him with a smile. "You're going to have to do better than that Klaus. You took away my toys earlier tonight, a girl doesn't just forget that, no matter how cute that accent of yours is," Caroline smiled, meeting his sparkly blue eyes.
"To be completely fair, your brother made it seem you needed rescuing," Klaus said.
"My brother is a little dramatic and knows better," Carline said.
"Why do you say that?" Klaus asked, moving a curl out of her face and in the process gently stroking her cheek.
"He knows I never put myself in a situation I can't handle," Caroline said.
"Is that so?" Klaus muttered, brushing her hair off her shoulder and running his hand down her side. Her breath caught slightly and she immediately cursed herself for it. She was over 900 years old, dammit! So why was she acting like a horny teenager and melting over one touch?
"He knows when things get to complicated or dangerous I pull away," Caroline muttered, because not her and Klaus were only one inch apart, their lips so close, that if either moved, their lips would brush together. At the last second, Caroline moved, so instead of their lips being so close, her mouth was by his ear and she was whispering in it. "Which is why I'm pulling away now Klaus. Like I said, you're going to have to do better than that, I don't come that easy."
She pulled away and stood up, grabbing her jacket and walking away. Klaus watched her walk away, a smile spreading across his face. She certainly wasn't going to be easy, and he found that as a challenge, a challenge he gladly accepted. Something told him she would be worth it.
"I don't want you to go," Rebekah frowned, tugging the sheet around her naked body. Alex stopped buttoning his jeans and went over to her. He cupped her face and placed a gentle kiss on her still swollen lips. He teasingly ran his tongue across both her top and bottom lip before pulling away.
"Now I really don't want you to leave," She pouted.
"Caroline will worry," Alex smiled.
"Caroline is probably under my brother just like I could be under you right now, or on top," Rebekah said with a suggested smile.
"Did you just try and sedice me by talking about my sister having sex with your brother?" Alex asked, wincing.
"Alex," Rebekah whined.
"I'll tell you what, tomorrow will be all about is. I'll tell Caroline where i[m going so she doesn't tear this city apart looking for me," Alex smiled, placing a warm kiss on her forehead.
"I'm holding you to that," Rebekah smiled.
"You had sex," Caroline said while Alec sat in the couch next to her.
"Yeah," Alex smiled.
"To think I was going to feel guilty for almost kissing Klaus," Caroline said. "And if you say that Rebekah is different from Klaus I will kill you."
"I wasn't going to say that and we both know you wouldn't have," Alex said.
"I won't, but Klaus might," Caroline said.
"What are you talking about?" Alex frowned.
"Klaus kills all of Rebekah's lovers and don't think you'll be any different," Caroline said.
"Now look who's being a hypocrite," Alex muttered.
"No, not a hypocrite. If you want to be with Rebekah go ahead, but what kind of friend would I be if I didn't warn you what yourself into?"
"Okay, since we're playing this game, what kind of friend would I be if I don't warn you about Klaus?"
"You don't have to. I spent nine centuries hunting him down, tracking him by his trail of victims. I know exactly what I'm getting myself into, which just makes me an even bigger idiot," Caroline sighed.
"We'll be idiots together," Alex said, cheerfully draping an arm across her shoulder.
"Forever," Caroline agreed.
"Why don't you come next time Elijah? Even Nik is enjoying himself," Rebekah said.
"I don't think Elijah is the bar type," Kol said.
"Come now Kol, I'm sure Elijah can have just as much fun as the rest of us," Rebekah said, defending her older brother.
"I highly doubt that," Kol muttered, earning a slap to the back of the head. "I'm just saying! He doesn't have someone to run off with and have sex with like you do and I refuse to share my drinking buddy with both of my brother."
"Who is this drinking buddy I hear so much about?" Elijah asked, loosening his tie.
"Her name is Caroline and I believe Klaus has a crush on her," Rebekah grinned.
"I do not have a crush on any one," Klaus scoffed, glaring at Rebekah.
"Caroline did you say?" Elijah frowned, but quickly dismissed the idea.
"Blonde, beautiful, green eyes," Kol said.
"What is it Elijah?" Rebekah asked.
"She sounds a lot like someone I met a long time ago," Elijah said, but quickly dismissed the idea. "I'm sure it's not her."
"I would hope so brother, I would hate to fight my own brother over another girl," Klaus smirked.
"So it's true Niklaus?" Elijah asked.
"Don't be foolish Elijah, I don't feel for anyone I get what I want from them and move on," Klaus said.
"And what are you trying to get from Caroline?" Kol challenged.
"I don't have to explain myself to you Kol." Klaus growled.
"Just admit it Nik, you feel something for this girl." Kol said, a grin spreading across his face.
Just because if irritated Klaus, he shot forward and snapped Kol's neck stormed out of the room, leaving a shocked Rebekah and Elijah.
He really feels for this girl, doesn't he?" Elijah asked quietly.
"I believe so," Rebeah said, smiling slightly.
So, another chapter has come and gone and I have a couple things I wanted to ask you guys... First off, a little warning, I may not be able to update every four days like I usually do, due to the fact that the end of school is coming up for me, and I have a lot of classes and projects to finish up, just warning everyone. Now I have a couple of questions. What does everyone think of this story so far? Any ideas on what's going to happen? Is there anything you guys specifically want to see happen? Anything you guys don't like? Any suggestions?
Let me know! Review.
