[A/N]: Here is your promised chapter!
Jamie woke up just in time to hear Klaus's speech over how going after her was a bad idea. She tried to stand up, but could barely balance enough to sit up. Her head was spinning. She groaned.
Klaus's head whipped towards Jamie at her sound of pain. He went over and bit his wrist. "Here, love. It'll heal you."
She glanced up at him, then accepted his wrist. After she finished drinking, she could stand, but was still a bit unsteady. They slowly made their way back to the house, not wanting to jar her system with vampire speed.
Rebekah and Bonnie had taken off back to the house, as Bonnie was going to undo the spell on Elijah. Kol had gone off to, and these were his words, 'inform the rest of this useless vampire population on what they bloody missed'.
Finally, Klaus got slightly impatient as Jamie stumbled on yet another rock. He scooped her up into his arms. She squeaked in surprise and grabbed the front of his shirt to keep from falling. "Klaus! You're going to drop me! Put me down!"
He gave her a look. "Really, love, I'm not going to drop you. I have had a thousand years to hone my reflexes."
She rolled her eyes. "Fine. But if you drop me, you owe me ice cream. With hot fudge sauce on top."
He grinned. "Of course. But I'm not going to drop you."
Fifteen minutes later, the pair arrived at the mansion. On the porch, Klaus gently set Jamie on her feet. She gave him a smile. "You were right. You didn't drop me."
He gave her a crooked smile. "I always keep my promises, love."
She gave him a pointed look, remembering some of his past actions.
He sighed. "Let me revise that. I always keep my promises to you."
Their eyes locked for a moment, but then Bonnie opened the door. She glanced between the two quickly. "I'm just...just leaving. Elijah's fine. Good night." She hurried off.
"Bonnie!" Jamie called.
The witch turned to look at her. "Thank you."
Bonnie gave her a look that Klaus couldn't quite decipher. "I didn't do it for you." Then she got in her car and drove away.
Klaus saw how much Bonnie's words hurt Jamie. He grabbed her hand and they went inside. Instead of stopping to see his siblings, he brought her over to the library. He let go of her hand and started searching for something. He found what he was looking for, a intricately carved wooden box. He sat down on the leather couch then asked, "Are you going to join me?"
Jamie nodded and sat beside him. Klaus opened the box carefully and pulled out a leather pouch, about one foot squared. She almost asked him what he was showing her, but then decided against it.
He opened it, and inside were a stack of drawings, all on ancient parchment, all depicting a beautiful dark-haired girl. He glanced at her. "This is the box I put together to remember our sister Aribelle. I drew these a long time ago." They quietly shuffled through the drawings. Many of them depicted Aribelle laughing or playing around with Kol.
"I take it they were close," Jamie commented.
Klaus nodded and smiled. "Oh, they were very close. She was his twin sister."
"That must have been especially hard, then." She couldn't imagine losing Caroline, and she wasn't even her real sister.
They sat there for a while longer, looking at the drawings. There were so many, and Klaus told her the story behind each one. Jamie really felt like she knew this sister, even though she'd been dead centuries before she was even born.
Eventually, Klaus tilted his head a little. "She would have liked you. Sometimes, you act just like her."
Suddenly, Jamie realized how close they were. She was leaning against his side, and her head rested on his shoulder. They'd been talking in quiet whispers, even though there was no need to. Klaus must have noticed this too, as she felt him draw in a breath. She turned her head and saw that their noses were inches apart. Her eyes locked with his, and her heartbeat quickened. They started to lean in...
Then Rebekah's voice came from the other side of the door. "For god's sake, just snog already!"
They jumped apart. Rebekah groaned. "Come on. I've been waiting for this ever since she arrived. Seriously." They heard her walk off, then Klaus cleared his throat, obviously embarrassed. He put the box back on its shelf, then offered Jamie his hand. She took it and he pulled her up. "You must be tired. I'll tell my siblings not to disturb you tonight."
She nodded. They walked out of the library and to the main foyer. They stopped just below the stairs. "I'll see you in the morning, Jamie."
She smiled. "Good night, Klaus." She started up the steps, then he heard her whisper to herself, "Oh, heck with it." She came back down and pressed her lips to his.
He got over his initial surprise quickly, and kissed her back. She smiled, and then pulled back. "Good night," she whispered, then walked up the stairs, leaving the hybrid speechless, which is quite a feat.
