"Elena!" Caroline said happily as she and Klaus approached Elena and Damon.
"Caroline!" Elena said as she hugged her best friend, "and Klaus…" She trailed off.
"Be nice," Caroline whispered in her ear.
"What are you doing here?" Elena asked Klaus in her nicest voice possible. Damon stepped up next to Elena protectively.
"This is my party, Elena. Did you forget that?"
"No, she didn't" Damon entered the conversation. He grabbed Elena's waist and pulled her towards him securely. "She just meant," Damon's voice began nice before turning venomous, "what are you doing with her best friend."
"Damon!" Elena hit him on the abdominal, "Don't be rude."
He looked down at Elena and smirked, "Have you forgotten that that's all I am? I'm mean Elena." He wiggled his eye brow at her.
"Klaus is just being a very nice gentleman and showing me around his place." Caroline interjected.
"Ah, yes. That is what I'm doing, isn't it?" Klaus looked at Caroline knowing fully well that that wasn't what he was doing. "By the way, Elena Have you met my wonderful family yet? Aside from Rebekah and Elijah of course."
"No, I haven't." Elena said keeping her manner, unlike Damon who was next to her rolling his eyes a Klaus' attempt to be civil.
"Well, I must say that Kol, Finn, and my mother Ester are very eager to meet you. But I would have to say, Elijah is the happiest to be acquainted with you again. I believe he likes your presence, you add a soothing element to the room."
"Well, if I don't see him, will you tell him I look forward to seeing him again soon?"
"Of course. After all he is clearly your favorite original." Klaus nodded to her as he gestured Caroline away from the couple.
"I'll talk to you later," Caroline whispered to Elena. Elena just nodded.
"Would you like to meet my family?" Klaus asked Caroline as they began walking once again.
"How about a dance first?" Caroline asked.
Klaus nodded as he led Caroline towards the dance floor. They were dancing a traditional line dance. Next to Caroline, she saw Elena, and next to Klaus there was Damon. They began to dance as the music filled their ears. Caroline wore a smile across her face that she hadn't felt in a long time. Caroline couldn't believe that she was happy. She was happy with Klaus, the enemy. With all the other guys there were always things to worry about. With Matt she'd just turned into a vampire when kind of shot everything to Hell with them. With Tyler there was the issue of them being enemies but wanting to make things work at the same time. It sounded weird to say that there were no complications with Klaus, but it was mostly true. The biggest worry Caroline had right now was trying to figure out how to tell Elena and Bonnie about the things that were going on. Caroline looked at Klaus and saw that he was looking at her with an admiring look. He wore a smile on his face that most people would think was a smile. But it was there, and Caroline could see it. Caroline smiled shyly and looked away. Klaus kept admiring her as they danced. She was an amazing dancer. They stayed mostly quiet while dancing. They reveled in the silence. However, their embrace had to come to an end. The part in the song where you switched partners had come. Klaus smiled once more to Caroline and then spun her out of his arms.
Caroline landed in the arms of someone she didn't recognize.
He however didn't feel the same. "You much be Caroline." He said as he looked down at her. Caroline turned her head to search for Klaus again, how she longed to be in his arms, not whoever's this was. She spotted Klaus and realized he didn't exactly look happy as he stared towards her. It was a warning glare, she could see. To who? She had no idea.
"And you would be?" Caroline asked deciding to be somewhat civil to the intruder.
"Why, you don't know?" Caroline looked shocked.
"Should I know you? You don't seem to strike a bell." She looked at the boy with no emotion.
"Why, I'm Kol Mikaelson."
Caroline was taken aback. "And you are Caroline the girl that my brother has foolishly taken a liking too."
Caroline grimaced at him, "I beg your pardon?"
Caroline swept her head to around to find Klaus once again, and this time saw that he was raging with anger. Now Caroline was no longer scared of Klaus, but she wasn't so sure that Kol deserved that same feeling.
"Well, you're a young little vampire who knows nothing. Surely my brother Klaus will have no use for you in a matter of months, if not less. I however, am much younger than my brother. I have been in a coffin for many of years. I think I'd be more suiting of you." Kol pulled Caroline towards her tightly and looked into her eyes.
"Get off me!" Caroline said loudly and began pushing away from Kol. Although Kol had been in a coffin for many years, he surely had regained his strength. She couldn't wiggle an inch from him.
"Darling, I think you should stop. You'll cause a scene." Kol's manner never changed from his cold and smooth, charming face.
"Leave me alone!" Caroline begged. "What do you want with me?"
"Want? What makes you think I want anything?" Kol's voice was soothing. She realized the similarities between Kol and Klaus. Klaus' voice also became soothing when you thought he might kill you. "On your birthday? Do you really think that low of me?" Caroline remembered that moment all to well.
"People don't usually hold the ones they love captive!" Caroline said through gritted teeth.
"Really?" Kol asked surprised. "Well, with Klaus being my brother, that's all I'm used to." Kol threw a look at Klaus that was filled with hatred.
At that moment Caroline realized that this wasn't about her, but about Klaus. And that's also the moment that she realized she was in trouble. "What are you going to do to me?"
"Well, beautiful, it just wouldn't be fun if I told you."
AHHHHHHH! This totally wasn't where I was planning on stopping I was planning on writing the whole scene but then I was like…hmm why not give them a cliff hanger? Haha so sorry it's shorter, but part 2 will be up soon. Hopefully be Saturday! (: ENJOY AND REVIEW! THANKSSSSS!
