"So you're Klaus's girlfriend?" Davina asked Caroline who was sitting next to her at the dinner table. "I can't believe it. His type has always been way moodier and manipulative" Davina said thinking of Hayley and Genevieve. She had been dating Kol for the better part of a year but it wasn't serious in his siblings' eyes. They just saw her as another fling for Kol.
Caroline smiled. "Yeah. I know he can be a total grouch sometimes but he's my grouch"
"I know that. Kol can be so irritating but he's my annoyance" Davina and Caroline quickly became fast friends and chatted through the entire starter. They were in a similar position. Both of them were dating a Mikaelson brother and so had received evil eye stares from Rebekah the entire time they were there.
Caroline leaned closer to Davina. "Does Rebekah get any nicer?"
"I've been here for a year and we're just about civil with each other" Davina said quietly. "But, she can be nice occasionally. You just have to win her trust and prove you're not going to break Klaus's heart"
Caroline glanced over at Klaus who was talking to Rebekah. They were laughing about something or another and seemed genuinely content and happy. She made a mental note to try and befriend Rebekah. She was obviously very close to Klaus and despite her earlier rudeness Caroline realised she just was looking out for him. And, hearing from Davina about Klaus's awful exes helped her to understand a little about their relationship. Tatia had played both Elijah and Klaus. Genevieve had been a gold digger. Hayley had manipulated Klaus and Camille had used him for her own gain. It wasn't any wonder, she thought to herself, that Rebekah wanted to vet his girlfriend even though she didn't appreciate it by any stretch of imagination.
Klaus reached over and held her hand as he whispered in her ear. "How are you feeling, love? Are you comfortable?" He passed her the dessert over, chocolate mousse with whipped cream. She dug her spoon in and tasted it. It was delicious. The chocolate and the cream seemed to become one and melted on her tongue. She licked her lips appreciatively.
"I'm fine, Klaus. Honestly, I'm having a lovely time" Caroline replied. It was the truth. Davina was lovely as were Freya and Matt, Elijah was nothing less than polite and hospitable and even Katherine seemed like fun. It was only Rebekah who seemed to hate her and completely ignore her every word. She had tried to join in their conversation and had been met with disdain by Rebekah. Then, she saw Rebekah get up and the rest of the Mikaelsons followed her. She made to get up.
Katherine smirked at the blonde about ready to stand up. "Sit down, Barbie. They're having a Mikaelson family meeting. Which despite the fact that I'm married to Elijah and Matt to Freya, we're not invited."
"They just go off and have a family meeting?" Caroline said in total disbelief. "They abandon us and having a family meeting?"
Enzo flashed a grin. "Cheer up, gorgeous. It's better for us. We're spared whatever drama they've got going on"
"Yeah, I wouldn't worry, Care" Matt reassured her as he held his son. He felt like Caroline would be a great girlfriend to Klaus but more than that she just seemed to fit in. "Kol's probably pissed someone off"
Davina looked at Matt with indignation. "Or, Klaus has upset one of them. I mean he does fall out with his family regularly"
"Not this time, darling" Enzo interrupted. "Kol is pissed at Rebekah"
Davina was confused. "Why? What has Rebekah done?"
"The same thing she does to anyone who tries to date her brothers" Katherine answered with a bored look. "Rebekah decided to hire a couple of to find out everything about you and Blondie"
Caroline was outraged. "How dare she? I mean, I get that she's protective but I have privacy"
"Yeah and I've been dating Kol for a year. So, why now?" Davina was still puzzled.
Katherine groaned at their stupidity. "Because, now she sees you as a threat, Dee-Dee, because this is the third family dinner you've been invited to. And, Blondie, just deal with it. She'll get over it eventually"
"Does she like you?" Caroline stared Katherine in the eye.
Katherine just let off a laugh. "Hell no. But, she puts up with me because I love Elijah and he loves me. But, she'll never like me. Bitches don't like other bitches"
'That's my girlfriend you're talking about, Kat" Enzo warned her though inside he was chuckling. It's true Rebekah is a bitch sometimes but he couldn't stand by and let someone say that.
Katherine narrowed her eyes. "Who told them why they're having a meeting?"
"That would be me actually, Kat" Matt interrupted. "They always have family meetings because of some drama"
Katherine batted her eyelashes. "Well, Matty. It was Enzo who said that Rebekah was pissed off with Kol"
"You're disgusting" Caroline couldn't believe her eyes. There was Katherine, Elijah's wife, flirting with Matt who didn't look a bit fazed. "You're married"
Katherine just smiled. "Yeah, but Matty and I have known each other a long time. He knows what I'm like"
"If it moves, she'll flirt with it" Matt told Caroline.
Davina decided to interrupt. "Whatever the reason, what are we supposed to do now?"
"Eat, drink and be merry, love" Enzo reached for the main course.
By the time, the Mikaelsons had come back all the food had been eaten and they well all drunk, except for Caroline who was laughing at Enzo's drunken shenanigans. Klaus narrowed his eyes. It looked like he was flirting with Caroline and she was doing nothing to stop him. He marched over and took Caroline's arm. "We're leaving"
"Why?" Caroline refused to move. "I'm finally having fun"
Klaus just lifted her up and carried her to his car. 'You were flirting with Enzo. My sister's boyfriend" He said angrily as he began driving Caroline back to he flat. "Don't deny it, love. I saw it with my own eyes"
"Are you crazy?" Caroline responded furiously. "I love you, you idiot! Enzo was drunk and we were just making conversation. I was trying to make friends with him. That was all" She crossed her arms.
Klaus looked over at her. "Yes, sweetheart, I saw the kind of friends you wanted to be"
Caroline gave him an angry look. "Pull over now." She undid her seatbelt. "You know, I love you Klaus. I thought I could trust you but you obviously don't trust me. Again" Her voice rose as she got angrier.
"No" He said one word and continued driving.
Caroline's face was red with anger. "Pull over now, Klaus. Or, I swear I will punch you"
"Fine" He pulled over. "What do you want me to say, love? I saw you flirting with him. My sister's boyfriend. And, you just deny it"
"Because it's not true, you complete and utter dick!" Caroline climbed out of the car. "I only love you and if you can't see beyond you're own jealousy then I'm not sure we can be together" She slammed the door shut.
Klaus watched as she pulled out her phone. "How are you going to get home, sweetheart?" His voice was laced with a slight mocking tone.
"Any way that doesn't involve you and your possessive jealousy" Caroline began to walk off.
He sat in the car, expecting her to come back. And, every minute that passed his heart raced faster and faster with worry. He began to realise he was in the wrong. Again. He texted her. Come back, I'm sorry. But, she didn't respond. He was beginning to panic. Caroline was all alone out here because he had been a pig headed idiot. He tried to phone her but he had no response. He decided to get out of the car and look for her. How far could she have gone? She was three, nearly four months pregnant. There's no way she would be able to nor would she go so far. He looked around anxiously, his heart pounding violently against his chest as he searched for her. She was nowhere to be found. He went even further from the car and couldn't see any sign of her. That's when his phone rang. He quickly answered it, hoping and praying it was Caroline. "Caroline?"
"No, it's me Freya"
"What's wrong, sister?" Klaus inwardly groaned. It wasn't Caroline. He had so desperately wanted it to be Caroline. Where was she? "Tell me what's wrong, Freya?" He repeated as his sister did not answer. "Freya?" He was beginning to lose patience. All he wanted to do was find Caroline.
"Rebekah has argued with Enzo"
Klaus failed to see what that had to do with him. "Yes, and? Freya, what does this have to do with me?" He was impatient. Caroline was missing and his sister was being cryptic. "Come on, sister. Spit it out"
"And, Niklaus she threw a vase at him in her anger, accusing him of flirting with your girlfriend, Caroline. Matt tried to explain to her that neither Caroline nor Enzo were flirting with each other but she just got angrier and angrier. Then, she tried to slap Matt who naturally just caught her hand. But, she-she"
Klaus could hear Freya's hesitation. Her voice quivered slightly. "What did Bekah do?"
"She took Matt's gun and tried to commit suicide"
Klaus sank to the floor. His baby sister had tried to commit suicide. Caroline was missing. His family was in distress. He was numb. He could still hear Freya but he had dropped his phone. He fumbled around and found it and put it to his ear.
"Come quickly, Niklaus"
Freya urged him to come quickly. He was conflicted as to what to do. His sister was potentially dying but his girlfriend, his love was missing. He sat on the floor in silence. How could he choose? His sister or his love? A thought came rushing to the forefront of his mind. If he chose his sister, it would be selfish. She was one person and had their entire family to care for her. Caroline was pregnant with his children. That made three lives. And, she was completely alone. She had no family save her best friends and they were all on holiday at the moment. If he didn't look for her, who would? He could not leave his love alone. He had to find her. His mind made up he continued searching for Caroline all the while bargaining with God to keep Rebekah alive. To save his sister and his girlfriend.
