chapter 9-
caroline was trying to fall asleep but couldnt seem to fade into the peacefulness that dreams normally would give her so she laid staring at her ceiling thinking about the day she had spent with klaus, the love making the dinner the conversation all of it was amazingly perfect to her she felt like she was slowly becoming whole not just half of herself.
then the buzzing interrupted and she sighed before picking up opening the text from rebekah
-caroline klaus is missing is he with you?-
panic started to rise in her chest as she started to feel guilty for hoping things would be good, different with him,
-no, i havent seen him since he went home to talk to elijah , whats going on? -
she quickly types back, waiting for the reply.
rebekah reads carolines text struggling with whether to tell her or not grumbling she pressed the call button expecting it to ring a few times before she picked up, surprised when she answered right away
"caroline i was walking into the mansion when i heard him screaming, at first i didnt know what was going on i thought he might have just been arguing with lijah but then he screamed again, i flashed to his room and he was bleeding, i tried to stop him but he bit me he started to write with his blood on the walls and now i dont know where he his" she said not even breathing while she was talking "oh my god- are you okay" caroline asked genuine worry for her seeped out of her voice making rebekah's heart tighten at the thought of some one actually worried for her, which brang a smile on her lips.
"yeah im not at any risk for dying but we need help looking for him" she said trying to play down her emotions and act indifferent to it "yeah i'll be right there"
"we will find him you know" carolines voice said trying to help calm her down "i know but what if mikeal catches him" rebekahs says looking at a small boy around the age of 14.
"rebekah what are you talking about" carolines voice snapped her back to reality but her brothers form was still in front of her bringing tears to her eyes "so hallucinations talking hurry" with that rebekah hung up before gasping a choke and in a broken whisper said "henrik-"
"sister, you can see me" his voice a voice she hadnt heard in so long but never forgot broke down the final barrier to her tears and she gasped before breaking out in a heart breaking cry.
"shh shh dont cry rebekah-" she watched as henrik walked over to her running his finger on her cheek trying to wipe the tears away but to no use as they poured down even faster.
"henrik h-how can i feel you " "im not sure bekah but not to worry" he said as he wrapped his arms around her to which she broke down even harder "i miss you so much brother" ,
"i know i can see every thing, i wrap my arms around you when i can, you may not feel it but i like to believe your soul does" "whys that" she asks muffled against his shoulder "because you fall asleep sister" he try's to move out of her hold on him but she squeezes him back,
"no i cant let go i dont want to loose you again" "you wont loose me sister" "i will when the venom wears off you'll be gone and i'll never see you again" she says holding him closer to her,
"make them complete it bekah" "what are you talking about henrik" but then carolines voice is calling out her name and henrik is slowly walking away from her
"henrik please dont go" "i'll see you soon sister, im going to play with the wolves for a while i'll be back" "henrik no no please" she starts to beg but she see caroline standing there "rebekah"she then surprise rebekah by flashing to her and craddling rebekah in her arms allowing her to cry
after rebekahs intial stiffness she relax into the compforting embrace that she hasnt had in a long time gripping onto carolines fore arm as she lays in her lap facing the fire crying,
"shh its okay" carolines whispering to her smoothing her hair,
caroline turns to see Elijah standing there looking at them questionably "niks missing find him" she says not moving an inch she says before continuing with her smoothing of rebekahs hair
elijah flashes over bending down not knowing what to do "rebekah whats" "henrik was he he " she couldnt complete a sentence and cried heavier and louder carolines grip tightening on her "i've got her elijah find nik its happening again" was all she said before she started to sing to rebekah the song her grand mother used to sing to her when she was little hoping to get rebekah to calm down enough.
with a nod and a small smile elijah flashed of to find klaus leaving caroline to comfort his distraught sister.
klaus woke up smelling caroline reaching out to hold onto her but she wasnt there and his movents seemed stiff he opened his eyes and saw it was still dark preparing for dawn,
he looked around the room, realising he was in carolines bedroom but not remembering how he got there sitting up he noticed the blood and mud covering him the he noticed the writing on the wall- suddenly there was a blur and the next moment elijah was infront of him "no time brother" with that elijah took pictures of the message on the wall and flashed out of the room
where is caroline brother" klaus asked as they got into the forest "at home with rebekah" "why is she there" "comforting rebekah" before klaus could ask they had flashed to the mansion and he found him self looking at his sister asleep on carolines legs holding onto her arm while caroline was asleep ontop of her.
"wha-" "shh brother" for some reason the image brought a smile to both of there lips and before klaus realised what elijah was doing he had already taken the picture and put his phone back causing kluas to smirk and him
they silently tip toed out and flashed to klaus's bedroom to see the other message writing in blood "what happened last night elijah" klaus asked "you apparently started screaming, bit rebekah and disappeared rebekah got hold of me before proceeding to inform miss forbes, by the time i got here they where already in that position, Caroline comforting rebekah as she cried hysterically about henrik, so i left to find you on carolines wishes" klaus nodded before heading to the shower and to change.
rebekah woke up the events of last night flashing fore front to her mind making her want to cry - klaus screaming - the bite - call to caroline - henrik- henrik she thought trying to hide the tears that wanted to come out - caroline coming to the mansion - caroline hugging me - singing me a lullabye - falling asleep in her arms,
she opened her eyes noticing she was still wrapped up in carolines arms she moved slightly causing caroline to shoot up and look her over "im up im up are you okay? " she asked tiredly she nodded her head sitting up not trusting her voice, her back felt stiff
"your awake" klaus said from beside them causing their heads to snap towards where he and elijah sat in the arm chairs "your back" they both said at the same time.
"yes" he said as their focus was on him elijah had to clear his throat to draw their attention to him "good morning miss forbes, rebekah here" he said placing to tumblers infront of him which contained blood.
"thankyou, what happened" caroline asked first "it appears that klaus went and done what you did last night" he said pulling up the photos on his phone and showing them the two walls.
klaus's wall read -apparet ad mediam noctem and the second picture of carolines wall read -habet lucem on tenebras.
great caroline thought "what does it mean" expecting to hear elijahs voice but instead heard kols voice from the door way.
"apparet ad mediam noctem , light comes to night , habet lucem on tenebras , darkenss takes on light, that's what it says darling"
after the initial shock of the sudden intrusion he acted like normal kol and strolled in then caroline spoke agian "ok what the fuck does that mean" "all in good time now rebekah tell me what happened last night" he said his face going serious every one turned to look at her.
"nik bit me , and i saw -" she stopped trying to fight the tears that still wanted to come out when she felt some one grab her hand looking down and then to caroline who had a small smile on her face giving her a small nod "its okay" she whispered "you dont have to if you dont want to" "yes she does" kol suddenly shouted causing carolines head to whip around to face him.
"no she doesn't" caroline said her face taking on a look "bekah love what happened" klaus asked "rebekah" elijah asked "he - i-it w" tears started to slowly leak out of her i eyes and carolines grip tightened "take your time, you dont have to say anything right now" "yes she bloody well does, bekah stop the theatrics and spit it out already" "hey, dont say that you didnt see her last night and you have no clue what shes feeling right now so back the hell off, she's say it when she's bloody ready " caroline said suddenly getting angry she felt rebekahs hand squeeze hers "its ok" "no its not okay, he's your brother and he should know when to back off" "and if i dont".
with that kol suddenly flashed infront of rebekah gripping her making her look at him "what ha-" he was cut of by caroline, who had flashed and grabbed his throat throwing him threw to wall much to eveyones surprise "i said back off and let her calmed down"
kol got up and stood opposite her, as she stood protectively infront of rebekah, klaus and elijah who had stood up from there seats were looking back and forth from the two of them "maybe if you stopped hounding her she will find the strength to explain, now apologise to your sister" "it doesnt matter caroline, i saw henrik" she said before flashing out of the room,
leaving the brothers speechless with looks of pain that was now in her eyes.
"all of you are bloody ridiculous" "excuse me" they all said at the same time " your meant to be a family and yet you all treat each other with indifference, your meant to be a family but not one off you asked her if she was okay, when clearly she wasn't and instead of giving her time to explain anything you hounded her and berated her" "it wasnt me and elijah then love" klaus said
"no not then you didnt at all and thats the point, shes your sister and she was devastated yesterday, you saw her elijah and you couldnt do anything, and you saw her just then and neither of you defended her or tried to stop kol, and you kol instead of being understanding you tried forcing her and were mean and vicious in you pursuit to find out what happened" she said looking at all of them individually
seeing some guilt in all their eyes " you are a family, elena once told me that your motto was family above all , always and forever, that may be true when it comes down to ripping peoples hearts out of there chest, but your not a family, you dont even know how to be, you should all be ashamed off your self, over a 1000 years and you have forgot how to actually be there for each other, to comfort each other, to show each other that you actually care for one another, that guilt you are all feeling deserves to be there" she took a breath
"you all should apologise to her, but dont bother if you cant mean it " with that she turned around and went up stairs leaving the brothers in the living room shocked still from the verbal beating they just took.
I probably wont update this story for a few days, i need to update the others but im hoping that i should have an update for this next week, my other stories need some love , so im gonna focus on them for a few days but you never know in case inspiration hits :)
i hoped you like the verbal bashing and the rebekah and caroline moments, i think some one needed to stand up for her because her brothers dont often do it and lets face it carolines probably the only vampire in existence that could get away with it.
