Chapter 3 : Welcome To New Orleans
The sun rise in the French Quarters,as we drove through the streets some folks were already busy getting to their jobs, people shopping and I even say a fortune teller or two . You see this town rightfully belongs to the witches .Back in History Class I remembered the lecturer telling us about the Voodoo practices among the women in a smaller society right here in New Orleans ,but ever since Vampires came into existence ,they found a way to control what wasn't even theirs
I noticed how excited Caroline got when she saw all the historic sites and buildings ,everything was ancient
How was I going to tell Caroline that the only reason Klaus left town was because that Hayley girl was pregnant was his child.
"We definitely need to go shopping" Caroline announced with smiles
I nodded as I squeezed her hand
Adam pulled up by some bar at the corner . As we stepped out the car ,we slept nothing but greasy food and alcohol ,we heard sweet jazz and giggles
We walked into the bar and men were quite early with the pools playing and drinking . Caroline and I held each other's hands as we looked around nervously as the huge and bust men, we followed Adam's lead as he leaned across the bar counter , we were gazing at the firm behind of a tall ,brunette with long hair ,her jeans fitted close around her waist and her skin peak out alittle of her plaid top
"I'm pretty sure! I've never seen Jennifer Lopez working in a bar"Adam said laughing
The brunette automatically spun around with excitement ,she climbed off the bar counter and plunged into Adam's arms ,she ran her hands through his hair and pulled him from her a few inches to stare at him ,she was quite emotional.
"Where's my manners...Girls this is my sister Sophie "Adam said introducing us to the cute brunette
"This is Bonnie and Caroline...my new college friends" he continued as we shaked hands
I noticed Sophie couldn't take her eyes off of Caroline,she gave her that puzzled and confused look
Caroline was getting uncomfortable
"Let's go somewhere private...Marcel has his eyes everywhere"Sophie finally said leading us through a backdoor
We climbed the stairs to her house
"Wait you own the bar?"Caroline asked
"Yes me and my sister before she died"Sophie said entering the house
I took time to look around at the amazing decor ,anyone could tell this was a witch's place,it was full of candles and herb aroma . She had a few Art pieces which captured Caroline's eye
"Do you paint?"Caroline asked
"No ...my sister did...but you guys can make yourself at home "Sophie said with smiles
Sophie and Adam went into a room with our bags
Caroline and I sat on the couch looking around
"Why was she looking at me like that?"Caroline whispered
"Maybe because you're a vampire...and she's not suppose to be talking to vampires"I whispered
"That's a bunch of BS...why the hell would Klaus moved to a town like this"Caroline said netting her eyebrows
Sophie helped Adam unpacked his clothes into the closet .
"Are you gonna tell them you aren't really gay?"Sophie asked quietly
"Shhhh! I will...just not now ..we need Bonnie"Adam said
"The Blonde girl shouldn't be here..."Sophie said removing the sheets from the bed
"Why? What did you see? "Adam asked his sister with concern
"Nothing ...I think...I just hope Bonnie can help us take down Marcel and find Davina"Sophie said sadly
Adam pulled his sister into his embrace
Back in Mystic Falls ,Elena frantically rushed into the Salvatore's house ,where Katherine indulged herself in a fruit salad and a copy of Vogue magazine
"Look who's here my hero"Katherine said sarcastically rolling her eyes and flipping the magazine pages
"Shutup ...where's Stefan?"Elena asked
Katherine shrugged her shoulders and ignore her doppleganger
"Stefan! Stefan!...Where the hell are you"Elena yelled
Elena spun around and bumped into the brooding vampire who just came from his early morning jogging
"Stefan...I'm freaking the freak out right now"Elena said beginning to pace up and down
"Why? Calm down what is it?"He asked
"Last night I bumped into Caroline...and she started to blab about going to New Orleans with Bonnie and I didn't actually believe it ..until this morning when they weren't in Literature or Math class...and I talk to April... last night and Bonnie caught her kissing my brother...and Now their gone ..Omg this is my fault"Elena explained shaking her fingers and holding back tears
"Well done Elena you sent away your only bestfriends "Katherine said with a plastic smile
"Katherine pipe down...Elena have you tried calling them?"Stefan asked
"Yes they refuse to answer...I'm worried Stefan...New Orleans sound like a dangerous place...full of wolves and vampires..and Klaus..."Elena said freaking
"Why should you care?...you have your Salvatore Boy Toys to throw around whenever you want!...Caroline just chasing her feelings and Bonnie is just bored and wants to discover new magic"Katherine said tilting her head
"Katherine aren't you late for work?"Stefan asked
"Oh yes! Elena I have a job at the grill...guess I'll see you around.."Katherine said getting up and doing her signature modeling to the staircase
"I thought you boys were going to teach her a lesson"Elena said bitterly
"We are,...she hates working so...I arranged the manager at The Grill to get her a job..not only is she busting tables she's cleaning toilets and scrubbing floors"Stefan said smirking
Elena shake her head in pleasure
"Look I'll go to New Orleans...and see what the girls are up to..you stay here ...and go to college ..don't worry"Stefan said rounding up his wallet,jacket and car keys
Stefan thought maybe he'll need a few extra pieces of clothing,he went to his bedroom and grabbed a duffle bag and stuffed it with clothes and undies
"Stef. Let me come with you...their my friends too"Elena suggested
"No its okay...stay here...you have Damon"he said walking out the door and slamming it
Elena froze at the way he exhausted the fact that she had Damon,she could tell he was still getting use to it
Back in New Orleans
Adam and I went into the town to get some groceries for some strange reason I knew it was a bad idea to leave Caroline alone with Sophie ,before we left they seem to get along just fine
Caroline sat with her feet on the couch filing her pretty nails and bopping her head to Beyonce tunes with her headphones in her ears ,she mouthing the lyrics of the song, Sophie was busy doing yoga on the balcony and enjoying the fresh air
Sophie got a message from Elijah saying to meet her at the Mikaelson's manor for chat about Marcel's movements and the whereabouts of Davina ;the other witch
Sophie blushed alittle,she was alread swoon by the way Elijah handles situations and the way he was kind ,caring and loving . He appreciated her .
"Hey Caroline...I'm going to the Mikaelson's place...Do You wanna come?"The witch asked with smiles
Caroline excitedly pressed off her Ipod and yanked the headphones out
"Um..I don't know...is it safe?"She asked nervously
"You know Klaus would never hurt you..."Sophie said smirking
"How did? You know? About Klaus...and..."Caroline said pausing
"I know everything ...I am...witch"Sophie said letting her hair loose with her scroggie on her wrist
"I don't wanna go looking like this"Caroline said looking down at her shorts and off-shoulder purple top and her cute purple shoes
"You look great...I'm the one in the yoga clothes"Sophie said laughing
Caroline followed Sophie out the door as they shared a smile
The two girls walked along the sidewalks ,Men were lined off on the streets talking and checking out every girl that pass
A group of men were whistling as Sophie and Caroline passed
"Sophie baby..I'll pass by later maybe you can pour me something real good...sugarface"one of the men said ,while the others laughed and made funny sounds
Sophie spun around seductively
"Last guy I poured something for ended up at the graveyard"She said teasing...and walking backwards
"You know those drunkards?"Caroline asked
"Duh! They practically live in my bar..a bunch of loners who can't find a wife"she joked as they turned the corner , Caroline saw people staring at a man who was indulging in street art he was creating something unique ,Caroline stopped for a moment to glare at the master piece
Sophie bought some gummy worms in the meanwhile
"You like Art don't you?"Sophie said creeping from behind the blonde
"Sweet Jesus don't scare me like that...I do matter of fact"Caroline said laughing
The two girls laughed as they continued walking ,they had reached the gateway of the Mikaelson's place
"Wow! They seriously have a things for extreme looking houses"Caroline said looking at the huge mansion
Sophie laughed as she pressed the buzzer on the gate
"How may I help you?"The voice in the speaker asked
"I'm here to see Mr Elijah Mikaelson"Sophie said
Caroline looked at the blushing witch ,who seemed fluttered when she said his name, Caroline just smiled ,she didn't care,all she cared about was the fact she was getting to see Klaus
"Who's asking"the speaker responded
"Sophie Devereaux"she said rolling her eyes
The person opened the gate automatically for them to enter ,they began walking on the pathway to the luxurious mansion
"Wow look at this place...jeezz"Caroline said
"Wait till you see inside"Sophie bragged
Sophie rang the bell , and Elijah was standing at the door ,well suited as usual with smiles on Sophie ,that made her blush,he didn't realize Caroline was standing there
Caroline cleared her throat to gain his attention
"Miss Forbes..what brings you to the French Quarters?"Elijah asked puzzled
Caroline stood silent ,she didn't want to sound desperate for Klaus to her
"Uh actually Caroline and I are friends..from social networking"Sophie covered for the blonde
Caroline automatically smiled and nodded
Elijah had a warm smile and welcomed the two girls in
"What Social networking? Would that be"Caroline whispered linking her arm closely to Sophie's own
"Let's say Twitter "Sophie said making small giggles
"Good I'll start Instagram'ing pictures to you"Caroline said laughing walking along the huge Hall
Caroline gasped as she looked around the antique house with the various Art pieces her eyes grew bright
"Caroline ..I would like to speak to Sophie in private...Niklaus is upstairs in his Art Room"Elijah said smiling
Caroline smiled and walked up the stairs
Adam and I returned from our grocery shopping , Adam placed the groceries on the counter
"Sophie and Care we're back"I yelled
"Oh they left a note on the fridge"Adam said taking the piece of the paper off
"GONE TO THE MIKAELSON's MANOR, TO CHAT WITH ELIJAH" it read
"Sophie and Caroline are at the Mikaelson's place..so I guess its us alone for a while doll" Adam said smiling
I proceeded in unpacking the groceries
And putting them in the correct places
"So why is Sophie's there?" I asked
"One Elijah ,two they have lengthy plans for Marcel and a witch is missing"Adam explained chuckling a bit
"What? A witch is missing" I said frantically
"Yes! Davina ...she's a bit mental..."Adam said grabbing a bottle of protein shake from the fridge
I stood shocked
"Don't worry doll...we'll find her and get this town straighten out...the Originals are helping us majorly..."Adam said as smiles appeared on his face ..his thoughts flew to Rebakah...he had a thing for her every since she arrived but she was always too intimidating to approach to.
"Well I sure hope things work out..thanks for having me here...me and Caroline need a break from boring Mystic Falls"I said smiling
Back at the Mikaelson's manor , Sophie and Elijah walked through the exotic garden ,which was full of flowers and sweet aromas , Sophie loved this part of the mansion ,she would come here and do yoga if she had a chance
Their was an awkward silence between the two . Elijah had develop feelings for the witch during the Summer ,he was too nervous to confess to her especially after all the stuff Katherine put him true . Sophie was always clumsy around him ,their feelings were mutual
"Did you find out how Marcel ..knows how the witches use magic?"She asked breaking the silence
"He has a dark witch on his side that has access to every witch...so first we need to find that witch and have a word with her" Elijah said standing opposite her by the fountain
"Great!..I've tried to locator spell but no sign of Davina ..I'm worried ..she out there ..scared..hardly knows how to use her magic"Sophie explained rubbing her head
Elijah reassured her everything would be fine and gave her a warm smile ,that made her heart fluttered
Caroline stood by the Art room window observing the two lovebirds ,she smiled
"Caroline!?"Klaus said entering the room and shocked to see his light standing there
"Hi!"She said moving away from the window closer to him with warm smiles
He took her hand into his cold hands and stared into her sparkling blue eyes that made him feel warm inside his cold heart
"What are you doing here?...I mean I happy to see you again "Klaus said chuckling
"Sophie and I are actually friends...and she invited me and Bonnie" She said not taking her eyes off him
"I'm happy to see you here..."He said smiling
Caroline began to flutter inside ...unlike anything , she forgot about Tyler ,here is where her heart belonged
"I love your Art room..."She said looking around loosing his hands and walking around slowly and touching the pieces
Klaus placed his hands around Caroline's waist ,which sent chills down her spine . He turned her around
"Elijah and I are throwing a ball...I would for you to come"he whispered close to her lips
"I would love to..."She said blushing
A sudden "Splash" sound came from outside
The two both went to the window to see what happened
Elijah was trying to help Sophie out of the fountain ,which she fell in ...Elijah tried to help her out but she kept slipping into the water
Elijah looked up at Caroline and Klaus
"Everything is okay here..please continue"he yelled
Caroline and Klaus exchanged looks.
"He asked her to the ball didn't he?"Caroline asked
"Yes! Those two have been like that all Summer"Klaus explained
Caroline nodded as she watched Sophie finally getting out of the fountain.
Sophie bumped her head into a branch of a plant, which made Caroline giggled at how clumsy in love she was
