Chapter 5: Shit Happens

Rebekah woke up from her feedingtrans and pulled away from a groggy Matt when a loud ringing ran through her ears. Matt's blue eyes looked confused as he realized she had pulled away, his blond hair looked like it hadn't been washed for days, probably because it hadn't, they had been staying in bed for the past three days, not carrying about anything or anyone.

"Aren't you gonna take that?" She asked.

"Take what?" He was still confused. He had lost a lot of blood after all the feeding she had done on him and the sleepy-mode wasn't going away.

Rebekah sighed, bit her wrist and forced him to drink. As soon as he had got enough blood for his thoughts to clear up, he pushed her away.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!"

"I'm sorry Hun, but I had to. You're phone is ringing and you've lost a lot of blood, I went on to long today. I'm so sorry!" She couldn't believe she had gone to far, again!This wasn't like her! She was a thousand years old, she was suppose to be mature a be able to control herself. But with Matt all of her discipline dissapeard and her selfcontrol wasn't so much in control anymore.

She looked at her boyfriend and felt how tears fell from her eyes when she realized he could have been dead by now if it wasn't for his phone. If it hadn't rang, she would have killed him! And on top of it all she had to do the one thing he hated the most, she had to feed him vampire blood for him not to die. It was all like a nightmare! Love wasn't suppose to be this wrong, right? It wasn't ment to hurt people physically!

She moved to the other side of the bed and buried her face in her hands so Matt would see her crying.

Matt sat up and moved so he was sitting besides her on the bed and laid his arm around her when she started shaking. He kissed her on the head.

"It's OK, I know you're having a hard time controlling yourself with me, and I accept that! Man, I should probably take that as a complement that a thousand year old vampire who can control herself in any other situation, can't control herself in my presence." He lifted her face from her hands and made her look into his eyes, those blue eyes that always made her melt and lose control completely.

"So..." He said and put one of her blond curls behind her ear. "...I don't really care if you lost control this time, we just have to work on the whole almost-killing-me-thing, and that's what I'm here for! I'm your boyfriend, there's always gonna be some bumps on the relationship-road but we can overcome them and this is just another bump for us to overcome! We can do this!" He leaned towards her to kiss her.

"It's a hell of a big bump to overcome." She said into his mouth. He laughed into hers, grabbed her hair, and kissed her.

A loud ringing ran through her ears, again. She pulled away from her boyfriend again, but this time not blood was involved, just alot of saliva and lips. Both of them looked at each other and then on the phone.

"Seriously?!" They yelled in union. He smiled towards her.

"This time it's your phone, and you better check that! People is probably starting to wonder where we are by now, I mean we've not left your brother's house in two weeks!"

"Just ignore it..." Rebekah sighed and tried to kiss him again. Matt moved away, almost ignoring her. He had something on his mind that he wanted to say and he wouldn't stop until he was finished.

Rebekah loved him when he got like that. Sometimes. It could be kind of annoying in some ways and in some situations, like right now, when she couldn't care less about if people were wondering where they were, she just wanted to spend a lot of time with her boyfriend, and she was not talking about talking.

"And doesn't Elijah want it back by now? I mean he hasn't been back to the house since that day when he left you here and you..." He burst into laughter.

She hit him gently with her arm in his stomach.

"Do not laugh at me! It wasn't that funny!"

"You got stuck with your arm in a wall!" He whiped the tears of his cheaks. "It was pretty hilarious!"

She just shoke her head with a smile on her face as an answer and then disapeared out of Matt's sight.

"Over here Matty!" She smiled towards him as he turned around and saw her standing naked besides a small pile their of clothes, the rest was spread all over the floor. She had her phone in her hand, which had started to ring again.

"I'm sorry Matt, I just have to take this one phonecall and I'll get back to you and our hot..." The last of the sentence got drowned by the ringning from her phone, but he could easily end that sentence by himself.

"Yes?" She answered in her phone.

"Yes?! Yes?! Is that all you have to say for yourself, little sister?! You've been ignoring my calls for the last 10 days and you've been AWOL for two weeks! Now can you explain to me why that was?!"

Rebekah sighed.

"Niklaus..."

"Do not Niklaus me!"

"Well it's your name, isn't it?! Or would you rather like it if I called you Santa Klaus?!"

Matt bursted into tears of laughter. "Santa Klaus... I would so use that if it wasn't for the fact that he would kill me at the spot."

"Very funny, little sister. Very original..."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. But you said i could use it once a decade or so and I've missed a lot of decades so I get to make up for them!"

"No, you do not! And anyway, I have been calling for a reason. First it was because I thought your boyfriend might want to know that Caroline was missing." He said boyfriend with a voice full of loath. "And the hundreds of times I've been calling after that has been to tell you I found her and that someone has done something so terrible to her that she came to me for help, and she does barely remember what happened. So I thought it would be a good idea for her friends to come over and that it would make her feel better. She's been staying at my place for the last two weeks because she was bitten by a werewolf twelve times and she's been needing my blood."

"Yeah, I'm sure that's all it is. Especially for you!"

"You're not hearing me! She was bitten twelve times! That doesn't happen naturally! Not even if you lay down in a middle of a pack of wolfs! Someone did this to her as a kind of torturing method!"

"Okay, okay! I'm getting what you're saying! What do you want me to do?"

"I wont leave her alone in the house more tham necessery, so could you please make up with our brother and find the person who did this! Because he's gotta pay!"

"Don't you think you're over.."

"It wasn't a question Rebekkah! And if you don't find this guy, I will snap the neck of you're new little toy!"

Rebekkah gave Matt a worried look. "Fine, I'll call Elijah! And don't you ever use Matt as a way to make me do your dirtywork again!"

She angrily hung up and turned her worried face towards Matt again.

"What?" He stod up and started walking towards her.

"Sweety..."

"What?! What is it?!"

"You should sit down..."

"I'm not going to sit down! Just tell me what it is!"

"Caroline was missing for a couple of days..."

"She was what?! How could we have missed this! I need to see her! Where is she?"

"She's fine! She's been at Klaus' house for the last couple of weeks..."

"Oh, and that's suppose to make me feel better?! He's not really the best person to take care of anyone, remember?! What makes you believe that he wasn't the one who kidnapped her in the first place?! I mean he might have compelled her to be his sextoy for days before he told anyone where she was!"

"He's in love with her! He would never let anything happen to her and he would sertainly not compelle anyone to be his sextoy! And you know that very well!"
She gave him a deathstare and held it unill he caved in.

"Okay, you're right! He wouldn't do that to her, he actually has feelings when he's around her."

She aproached him with a sexy walk and layed her arms around his neck.

"I think we've talked enough about my annoying brother, don't you think?" She kissed him gently.

"Yeah, I think we've talked enough about... What's his name again?" He smiled and kissed her back. He lifted her up and carried her in his arms to the bed as their kissing got heavier. They let go of everything. It was just them and their love. Caroline and Klaus where nowhere close to being thought about.
A loud voice disturbed them this time.

"Euuuu! Eu! Eu! Eu!"

Rebekkah got quickly away from Matt and put on some clothes in the speed of light. Matt was left naked in the bed and he covered himself with the pillow a familiar face threw him.

Elena gave him a disgusted look.

"Rebekkah?! Seriously? You're screwing Rebekkah?! And here I was going all crazy thinking you were missing for something less terrible?!"
"Hey! I'm here you know!" Rebekkah gave Elena her bitchiest look.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh but two of my best friends has been missing for the last two weeks so I've been going crazy thinking something had happened to the both of you! And if you're happy with Rebekkah, Matt, you have my blessing, for what it's worth."

"Thanks. Wait, who else is missing?"

"You don't know? Of course you don't, because if you did, you wouldn't be here with your girlfriend... It's Caroline, Caroline is missing."

"No she's not."

"Yes, Matt, she is."

"No, she was missing for a couple of days two weeks ago, and after that she's been staying at Klaus'."

"She's been what?!"

"She's been staying in her room at Niklaus' house. Didn't he tell you he found her?"

"No! he sertainly didn't! Me and Stefan have been looking like crazy for her! Oh God! Stefan! I have to tell him! And you two better get out of bed! And you look like crap Matt, you should really eat something. I've gotta go, see you later. You better go and visit Caroline!" Elena spoke in hyperspeed and then swoshed out of the house.

Matt gave Rebekkah a concerned look, which turned into a confused look from the both of them, and then both of them started laughing. They just couldn't stop.

"What the hell just happened?" Rebekkah asked.

"I have no idea, but she's right though, we really need to get out of bed."

"I guess..." She approached him with her sexy walk again, but Matt turned her down.

"I'm sorry Bekkah, but I really need to visit Caroline. And Elena really was right; I need to eat, and shower too for that matter."

"Fine, but I'm not coming with you. Nik will be on my throat about finding out who tortured his beloved Caroline and to make piece with Elijah. I can't take that right now. Will you be okay going there alone?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine. Wait, did you say she had been tortured?!"

"Yes, I did. Didn't I mention that earlier?"

"No. No, you didn't!"

"Oh, sorry..." She gave him her most innocent smile.

He groaned. "Rebekkah..."

A knocking. No one answered.

She knocked again. Still no answer.

"I know you're in there Stefan! I can hear your grumpy walk from the other side of town!"

A couple of quick steps were heard and the big wooden door opened. An irritated Stefan looked at her with his most penetrating stare under tousled tufts of brown hair.

"Elena, what brings you hear?" He said in a not so welcoming voice. Katherine answered with the most Elena-ish face she could come up with.

"I'm sorry, I know you have a lot on your plate right now with the new vamp in town and all, which for the record I'm kind of mad that you guys didn't include me about..."

She knew how hard it had been on him lately with this whole Caroline thing. She was currently one of his best friends and with her gone, he really had no one to talk to anymore about the fact that people went missing and Klaus was the new Sheriff and that they had no connection to the counsil anymore since someone killed Sheriff Forbes.

And he was really mad at Elena for everything she's done, especially her choice of men, which had made him fall out a little with his brother, even though Damon said he was fine with Elena choosing Stefan and not him. It wasn't just Stefan who had a hard time believing him. For God's sake, he had been screwing Rebekkah and then daggered her just so he wouldn't have to dump her.

Jesus! The meaning of the sentence "stabbed in the back by someone you love makes it worse" really got another meaning for her than the rest of the world. I'm doubting that anyone on this planet has been backstabbed as many times as she has. Which leads us back to the reason why they didn't have any contacts at the counsil anymore, because the counsil had been so stupid and let her be on it.

So the only persons who had the resorces to help them find someone, couldn't help them because the refused to talk to them unless it was to Caroline who everybody felt sorry for and didn't shut her out.

"Elena? Elena?" Stefan snapped his fingeres in front of her face. He looked mad. "I don't really care about how much you want to help out with the newbie-vamp, you're not going to, because I don't want you on it." His face screamed "end of discussion" so she gave it up and forwarded the information she had.

"Well, Klaus found Caroline. She's at his place right now."

"Oh thank God!" He looked releaved and hurried inside to take a jacket and a helmet. "Did he say something about where she's been?" It took him two seconds to go from "supermad-at-Elena-Stefan" to "super-reieved-that-caroline-was-safe-Stefan"

"Oh, I didn't hear this from him. Matt told me and Rebekah told him."

"Why does Matt hear things from Rebekah?"

"Well apperently they're..." She gave him a disgusted look, hoping he would understand.

"They're what Elena?"

Seriously how slow could he be?

"Well they're kind of... Well, dating."

Stefan raised an eyebrow.

"They're what?"

"Oh, don't look so weirded out Stefan! Your not the one who walked in on them..." She trembled of disgust from the very unpleasant memory. "It's welded in to my mind. Huuuh!" She trembled again.

Stefan looked like he gave it a thought, realized he didn't care and moved on.

"So, back to Caroline. Did Matt say anything about where she's been for the last two weeks?"

"Well, yeah..."

"Then tell me! Why are you stalling this conversation, Elena?!"

"I'm not! I just don't know how to tell you that Caroline was only missing for a couple of days and the rest of these two weeks she's been staying at Klaus'."

"She's been what?!"

"My reaction exactly."

"I don't care about your reaction! Just... how could you not tell me this sooner?!"

"I didn't know untill a couple of minutes ago and the first thing I did was to rush here!"

"Fine, let's just leave it there. I have to go and see her. Make sure she's alright." he jumped on his motorcycle and kickstarted it. "Are you coming?"

Katherine was just about to jump on when she got a text.

K, we're coming back in three hours. Get your crap out of our town and dissapear forever! Bonnie.

"Are you coming or not, Elena?"

"Sorry, I'll visit her later. I gotta do something first."

"Fine by me." Stefan ended and drove away.

Katherine didn't look after him for very long. Just enough time to make sure was really gone. And then she hurried back to Elena's house to pach her stuff and go.

"Caroline, you've got visitors!"

Caroline turned in bed and looked up from the "Eat, Pray, Love" book she was currently reading. She was kind of annoyed, being disturbed in her reading. This was the only time when she could read her romantic chick-flickish books because Klaus was working on something and didn't insist on being at her side, which he did every second he could.

She was still weak so he insisted on checking up on her and feeding her blood from both bloodbags and himself, since the werewolf bites needed more than just one drink to completely restore her health. And not that she would ever admit it to anyone, but she had kind of started to get addicted to it, to him.

As much as she wanted to deny it, her feelings for him had just started to grow bigger. She couldn't help it. These last few days he had been so sweet and she had had time to think about things.

She didn't believe she was even thinking this, but she was actually considering going on a real date with Klaus. Like a date-date, not a I-did-you-a-favor now-you-have-to-repay-me-with-a-date-date, or a I'm-trying-to-keep-you-occupied-so , just a regular date between two people who liked each other, a hey-I-think-I'm-falling-in-love-with-you-date.

Oh god, this was like when Blair and Dan started to be friends, and then something more, in Gossip Girl. Hopefully neither she or Klaus would get fake-married to a prince...

Caroline was thrown back into the real world again when Stefan and Matt entered the room. She sat up quickly and tried to look healthier than she felt.
Stefan was at her bed in seconds.

"Hey, how are you?"

Caroline smiled at him and Matt

"Hey Stefan, Matt. I'm fine, thank you. Klaus has helped me through some stuff, and I'm not completely healed yet, I've still got some nasty..." She realized she didn't want to tell them about her werewolf bites and daily feedings on Klaus. She told herself they wouldn't understand. "...Erhm, some nasty wounds left from the stakes and stuff."

"How do you feel? Rebekkah told me about the torture..."

"The what?!"

Caroline looked down to her sheets and then met Matt's eyes. She wasn't comfterble talking about what happened to her. Mostly because it was really painful trying to remember, she didn't want them to worry and Klaus was forcing her to try to remember small bits an hour every day. So she was really tired of the subject and she still wasn't any closer to knowing what happened to her, than she was two days ago.

"Nothing. Stefan, I'm fine. Don't worry. And you shouldn't worry either Matt. I'm okay. And it's been so long that I don't want to remember what happened, so can we please just drop the subject?"

"Don't push yourself thinking about that to much love, I wouldn't want you to faint on me again." Klaus walked through the heavy set of wooden doors.
Caroline freaked out by the site of him. How much had he heard? She didn't want him to know that she was ashamed of their new "relationship" (or what the hell it was), because then he would understand it was more than just blood and gratitude that kept her here, why she really had decided to move here.

Oh God, there's that obnoxious smile. Klaus had heard everything by the looks of that grin. She was so screwed.

"Here's a bloodbag love" he threw it at her, still with that grin on his lips.

Matt's eyes went from her to Klaus and back to her again. Caroline saw how Matt's facial expression went from confused to understanding. Stefan on the other hand was too envolved in his own, hard feelings towards Klaus that he couldn't see anything else. Caroline was really thankfull for that.

If there was somone who wouldn't understand her relationship with Klaus it was Stefan. He just couldn't see the good in him anymore. Not like she could. And sure! Klaus could be the most annoying person on the planet, he could be the worst serialkiller on the planet too, but he could also be the sweetest and most carring person. And that side was for her the one that stood out. He had saved her life, and for once her life hadn't been in danger in the first place because of him.
After he saved her, she could over see his flaws.

She relized she had drifted away in her own thoughts again and when she looked up, Stefan and Klaus were gone, but she could still here them yell at each other in Klaus' office further down the hall.

Matt satt down on her bed and stroke her blond curls.

"I'm okay Matt, really."

He just smiled at her.

"Yeah, you might not be after I tell you this..." He said after a whiles thinking.

She gave him a suspicious look.

"But you do not get to judge me, okay? Because I saw how you looked at Klaus!"

"Okay, okay! I wont judge you!"

"Okay, so I've kind of been... I'm kind of in a..." He looked a little ashamed.

"Maaaatt... Don't stall it." She said with a voice that could be a rulers.

"Okay, so I'm kind of in a relationship with..." His face got even more ashamed and he looked away.

"With who?!" Now she was just curious. Who could it be?

Matt looked like he had gotten over the fact that he was ashamed of his new girlfriend and said with a determined voice:

"With Rebekkah..."

"MATT!"

"We said no judging!"

"I'm not judging!"

"Yes you are!"

She hit him with a pillow as an answer. Caroline laughed when she realized her pillow had just thrown Matt of the bed and down on the floor.
Matt said with a smile on his face and got up on the bed again. "Can you please not hit me again, with or without a pillow, because your vamp-powers are all over the place."

Caroline smiled back at him.

"Don't flatter yourself, I could have easily beaten you up even as a human."

"It's good to have you back, Caroline."

"Oh, please. You weren't even aware that I was missing because of all your hot sex with Rebekkah!" Caroline teased.

Matt looked a little mortified and scratched the back of his head. Caroline could see the guilt in his face.

"Really?!" She half angry, half amused screamed. "You really weren't aware that I was missing because you were to busy with your new girlfriend?!" She hit him with the pillow again, but this time he had a firmer grip of the bed and didn't fall off.

"Aou! Caroline! I thought we had a deal!"

"Well that was before I got some new information... Now you're dead!" She took a very firm grip of her pillow and attacked a laughing Matt as she said the last words of the sentence.

Katherine was hyperspeeding through the whole house. Looking everywhere to make sure she didn't leave any trace of herself. She had already cleaned the house twice and all of her stuff was already stuffed into a small bag she was going to be taking with her.

She looked at the watch for the millionth time in the past hours. "Crap!" She exclaimed stressed when she saw what the time was. "Oh, crap! Crap! Crap! She hurried downstairs and saw how a car drove into the driveway at the front.

Katherine looked around her to find another exit and was soon out on the back though one of the downstairs windows. She could hear her dopplegänger and the bitch-witch talking inside the house and she ran, as fast as she could. She had to get away from there.

When she reached the Wickery bridge she suddenly felt pain in her right shoulder.

"You didn't think you could get away with this, Katerina?" a familiar voice whispered in her ear at the same time as the stake in her shoulder was twisted and turned to hurt more.

"Crap!" Katherine exclaimed for the fifth and last time this night.

Sorry havn't posted in a very long time now. I've got a lot on my plait and havn't been able to write as much as I've been wanting to. I also have had a hard time writing this chapter because I needed to know how to go from the last chapter to where I want my story to be.
So instead I've been writing a lot in future chapters like who the mysterious Alex is.
I hope you enjoyed chapter five and please review it! Hopefully it wont take me this long to write chapter six, which is already in progress.
