"We're going to have so much fun today, Marcel."
"Your father told me I'll train you but I didn't expect you to come by so soon. And you're wearing that for practice?"
"Believe me, it's just warm up. You know the rules, No vamp speed, no vamp strength."
Nadia picked up the staff - the wooden pole used for sparring - near the gear shelf and weight it in her hand. This is actually lighter than what she usually use. She went into the ring and suddenly her staff was knocked out of her hands and she fall along with it. Marcel stood tall before her the end of the pole pointing at her head.
"Lesson 1: Always be on your guard."
"I knew that! But you simply disregarded the rule!"
Nadia stood up and was pushed against the ring wire net, Marcel's hand on her neck.
"Your father also tell me you like to use all the advantage you can have. May be after a few lessons with people who fight you like a vampire you'll learn to appreciate how gentle Aidan's been treating you."
"You just have to pissed off the wrong witch." Nadia opened her palm and the staff raised to her palm, she smashed Marcel's head with it. Marcel was so much quicker than Aidan (or Aidan has been going easy on her) But the physical hit doesn't affect him that much. He was soon once again pushing her against the net. Nadia groaned in pain, she glared at Marcel and suddenly Marcel dropped to the ground, hands clutching his head.
Once it stopped Marcel shook his head, "That's pretty good, I haven't had a headache in a while," Marcel said impressed, she's only 17 after all. When he looked at her, she was still glaring but not at him, more like she was pissed at something in the air.
"I really can't hurt a hair on his head, can I? He made his adoptive son teach his unworthy daughter a lesson because she hurt his heir."
Marcel finally caught with what's going on, "Look, Klaus doesn't grow up with father of the year, he just want you know even with Aidan becoming stronger than you now that he's a hybrid, he never once do anything to hurt you."
Marcel noticed the corner of Nadia's lips turned up, but because she was looking down, he didn't see the malice in her eyes.
"I'm sorry you have to be casualty of all this." Nadia mumbled, and Marcel was pushed by an invisible force to the other side of the ring. When he struggled, he was pinned motionless against the wire net. Nadia walked toward Marcel and he was partly in awe that a baby witch hold him down without a sweat. She seem to do it like it was second nature.
Nadia stand before him close, Her finger nails dragged down his naked chest that was glistened with sweat. The trail was light but Marcel felt like a silver knife was cutting him opened, he winced at the first contact and bite his lips to suppressed his groaned. Once it reached the side of his stomach, Nadia retreated her hand, his vampire blood heal himself quickly. He breathed heavily and looked at her. The high cheekbones all Mikealson seems to have. Blonde hair. Blue eyes, not any blue but a deep azure blue eyes. The shirt that hug her tightly and the zipper hanging around her cleavage.
"I can't believe this. I'm holding you down and you're checking me out?" Nadia rolled her eyes, "Men are pigs." The staff got into her hand again. It turned into a silver stake and she stabbed him in the right shoulder. Marcel screamed. She smirked, this is one of her favorite she picked from Kol.
"I felt like I'm so overlooked, you know? Has any one ever bother to notice Nadia uses her spells without any incantation? Any one see Nadia was the most ruthless when it comes to fighting? I'm more like my father than him, but he'll always be the heir right? I was born first but of course, they just gonna assume the alpha was the son."
Nadia pulled out the stake, blood rush out of Marcel's body before it was healed. Only then did Nadia shove it back to the same spot, this time deeper. Marcel screamed ended when he looked in fear as Nadia hold out her finger and fire was emerging from it.
"You know, it's good father send you to piss me off too. Recently I've been feeling this immense power building up and you're to help me test it out."
Aidan entered the living room to see Caleb carries a big quiver of arrows.
"It's 2016 and Nadia chooses arrows instead of guns?" in a smooth flash, Aidan snatch the quiver out of Caleb's hand and look at it.
"Nadia loves making her own weapon. Carving her own staff, making her own arrows. We actually went to chop the wood for the arrow together."
Aidan scoffed at Caleb's fondness when he talked about Nadia. He reached for the arrows wanting to examined it but it burn his hands, he dropped the quiver, the arrows spilled and fall down, the vervain burn his foot too.
Aidan slammed Caleb to the wall, "You get rid of that! I've endure Nadia's tantrum long enough, I'm not going to have her shoot vervain arrows at me."
"Nadia said I'm supposed to take it to her room when I'm done. You can talk to her afterward but I have to finish my job."
Aidan punched Caleb in the face, and the stomach. Caleb did not defend himself but he won't back down for Aidan's order either.
"What is all this reckus!"
"Nadia planned to shoot me with vervained arrows! That's what it is!"
Klaus looked at the wolf in Aidan's hand then looked at the arrows all over the floor. He bend down to picked one up. The vervain boiled his hand but he ignore the pain and inspect the arrow still, the handle is laced with vervain, the core is silver and the end of the arrow was dipped in wolfsbane. Klaus throw the arrow in the air, catch it and throw it to Caleb, the wolfsbane pulsing through the little mutt.
The realization hit Aidan harder. His sister purely wanted to torture him!
"the wolf needed to be taught a lesson on guideline of safe weapons to use in sparring. You can use anything in the dungeon."
Aidan looked down on the wolf "On it." Aidan said swiftly and dragged him out.
Klaus went upstairs to his study, Elijah is supposed to be here today. It's been 2 days since Nadia "warm up" with Marcel as she put it. Needless to say he was shocked to find Marcel drowning in his pool of blood, his skin looked like it was burned, and cut, the skin from his left knee cap to his feet was actually skinned and ripped off, resulting from Nadia testing new spell she made up herself, inspiration comes from Divina's blood boil spell. The only way Marcel survive was because he was a vampire, which did not save him from the pain since Nadia slowed down his healing strength. Marcel was going through agonizing pain like a human feels for the next 24 hour until the spell was lifted. The fact that Nadia did that both impress and depress Klaus. He understood it's her way of getting back to him for allowing Marcel to slam a few sense into her witch skull that her brother, unlike her, doesn't make it his life mission to hurt his own sibling. Though his plan totally backfired, Klaus hasn't given Nadia a lecture concerning Marcel yet. In fact, the father daughter has been acting as if nothing happens. Klaus wanted to wait for Elijah to come but now things are getting out of hand. With the vervain, wolfsbane, arrows, Klaus has a feeling Aidan is next on her list of people to torture if he anger her the next time.
Klaus just can't believe his action is treading on thin ice, tip toeing around an 18 year old rule now.
Klaus opened the door and Elijah was there, impeccable as always in his suit and tie.
"About time! A few more days perhaps my children already finished each other!"
"May be stabbing her own siblings is just something she inherited. It's no surprise concerning the history of her parenthood.'
"Can I just fast foward to the part where you're actually helpful?"
"Where's Freya?"
"Perhaps on vacation on the other side of the globe. Not an urgent concern at the moment, may I recite your list of priorities? 1. My daughter is paranoid and out of controlling 2. wait, there's no 2, that's the only thing matter right now, brother."
"We need a witch, Niklaus. A witch that is on our side. There is another prophecy concerning Nadia."
"Another bloody prophecy!"
"The witches don't know the content of the prophecy. They said we need a Bennett witch for that, and I wanted to consult our sister first."
"You contact Hayley, and our sisters back here. We're going to need everyone's help in the mean time."
"And what will you be doing while I contact our ladies of the house?"
"The dirty work. I have a witch that's been hiding for 1 decade to find."
Klaus opened the door, but before he leave he added, "find the shackle and restrain Nadia, if there's really a prophecy she'll only get worse."
Klaus connected the time Bonnie disappear fairly around the right time Caroline was off the map. Even when he left Mystic Falls and never come back, he always compel a hybrid to stalk her just to make sure she's safe. The supposedly guard lost her and he can't track with a locator spell anymore. She was cloaked.
High chance was Bonnie left with Caroline. And even if he can't find Caroline, he knew there are people she cared about.
"Hello twins," Klaus said smiling to the 2 identical brunettes who just got out of the school, "I have a favor to ask"
"I actually went to find you! But guess what, I got a call from Alaric that you kidnapped my babies." Caroline growled as she sat down on the stool next to Klaus.
"You went to find me?" Klaus turned to look at Caroline. The thought of her has been consuming his mind ever since he knew he got an excuse now to deliberately find her without breaking the promise. Nothing in his 1000 years of existence prepare him for this encounter. He's always been mesmerized by the young vampire, drawn to her, and do anything to please her. And here she is now, in her white little dress that reach her mid thigh, her arms covered by a plum cardigan that match the floral print on her dress, her brown boots reached her knee. She looked like a school girl.
"I only run because I need to protect Bonnie. She alone has the prophecy. We didn't know what it meant at that time and learn about your twins later on. It looked normal for the past years, until recently that I've heard about Nadia's strange obsession with torture. I came to tell you once I know the prophecy is true."
"And where is Bonnie?"
"She shared the prophecy with me. You can see it just tell some witch to do the spell and get it out from me."
Klaus nodded. He licked his lips, only then realizing that his throat and lips turn complete dry.
"Well, get going Klaus. Tell your minions to release Alaric and my twins and get a witch so we can save yours."
In spite of the darkness of the situation, Klaus let out a soft chuckle. He put 100 dollar bill on the counter and run after Caroline as he took out his phone and order things to be done just as Caroline ask.
"Was Bonnie the one who cloaked both of you?" Klaus catch up with Caroline in no time as Caroline was making her way, Klaus recognize, to her house.
"Yep."
"She did one hell of a good job. My witches can't find you."
"Well I need to look out for myself. I can't rely on your hybrids now, can I? If their stealth tells anything of their fighting skill, they're terrible. I saw them from a mile away."
"That bad, love?"
Caroline looked at Klaus. Properly this time, she hasn't been called loved for a while and truth to be told, she's been missing him.
"I pick up the stalking after the 2nd year or so." She shrugged.
They reach Caroline's house but Klaus did not cross the threshold.
"May I come in?"
"Haha. Just tell your witch to get here quickly, It's been a long day of travelling."
"Where were you? During all these times."
"Here and there. Visited Europe, climbed the Everest, I tried to swim across the Pacific and realize I should have had more blood before testing my stemina. Also shark blood is disgusting."
Klaus couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "My condolences for the marine life."
Klaus watched Caroline take off her cardigan slowly and rest it on the couch. He shift his eyes from the singlet strap dress to the collarbone poking out of her dress.
"So what about you? What else's going on in the big easy?" Caroline asked as she sit down on the couch in the living room, Klaus closely followed. Caroline untie the strings that lace up her boots and peel it off her foot one by one like she was unaware for the shameless pair of eyes watching her skin revealing inch by inch. She was bare feet then, her toe nails was painted red. She crossed her legs, and her dress ride up higher.
"Hello? I asked you about what's going on with you 'favorite city'?"
"Nothing much, love, witch hunt, saving babies, rebuilding kingdom, your average king's day to day basis. As we all know, we have other problem yet to resolve."
"A problem solved faster if your witch just get her rack over here faster." Caroline said in annoyance. She produced a hair tie from her wrist and quickly gathered all her hair up, putting it in a messy bun. Her neck was now bare, her chest restrained by that white floral dress looking even more inviting than ever if possible. Klaus felt himself stirred with a pool of heat rushing south his anatomy. Caroline, bare face, slender neck, short dress and bare feet. His dirty mind connected and he see a flash of her naked body in his head, the white dress dropping to the floor as he pounded inside her nude frame on that very couch.
"Hello! What's wrong with you!" Caroline huffed in irritation as he come to realized, he has blanked out once again. In his defense, it's been too long since he had done it, and Caroline has been the object of his affection for 2 decades now.
"Sorry, Love. Won't happen again."
"Can I at least freshen up during your witch tedious walk around Mystic Falls till she made it here?"
"Of course." Klaus is 1000 years old and he almost slapped himself for nearly cough when Caroline mention she's going to shower.
Klaus watched Caroline walked upstairs to her room to have a shower. He let out a deep breath when his supernatural ear heard the sinful sound of the dress unzip and the dropped to the floor. He can almost see it pooled at her feet as her creamy long legs step out of it. He felt himself grow an inch more just from the image. If it was up to him, he'll just go up there and confront her just to know if she's trying to torment him on purpose. In the same while of course, he would take her against the cold wall, fucking her fast and hard out of his system, pulling off that damn bun so her golden curls can hang messily around her face just the way he liked.
The shower ran and before his mind make him go completely crazy. He turn it off, no longer holding on to the noise of what's happening upstairs. He's a man on mission. This is all happening because his children is in danger and he could not afford to lose focus.
Damn Caroline, she'll be the death of him.
Trying to focus on the task at hand, he took out his phone and call the witch to hurry the hell up. She did not pick up. After the 3rd ring, Klaus felt a realization dawn on him. He called the hybrids that were supposed to guard the twins and Alaric, they did not pick up either.
He was in front of the bathroom in Caroline's room in less than a second, and he kicked the door opened. He opened the curtain at the bathtub and the water was running alright, but Caroline was nowhere to be found.
"Caroline." He gritted his teeth.
It's 5:57 am and I can't sleep. I'm seriously excited for Klaroline crossed over and the way they say Klefan will talk about their love for Caroline... underlying that Klaus is pretty much still heads over heels over Caroline is making me so emotional. OTP finally have another scene after 2 years, and I can't keep my chill, the only way to let out is to write fanfics about them xD
