I would like to thank all of you wonderful reviewers! Thank you so much! Guest asked me when Caroline slept with Klaus and another Guest told that it was too soon for Caroline to admit her feelings for Klaus. Wonderful questions, but you will have to wait till the next few chapters. All will be revealed in the next few chapters. Just do not judge until you have read the next few chapters! And just so you guys know, this story starts after season 4 episode episode 12. But there is no death of Kol. Instead of that, Kol in turn kidnaps all of them my story starts from when Rebekah hands over the dagger to Stefan and they all go back home. And there is no Jeremy crap either.
"So," she said, looking at Klaus."You still think my acting skills are that weak?" Everyone was looking at her with a dumbfounded expression. Klaus also was grinning back at her. Suddenly, his face contorted in pain and he let out a snarl.
"Klaus?" Caroline asked timidly, suddenly afraid for the Original in front of her. He suddenly let out a strangled scream as he struggled to hold in his pained screams. "Full moon...woflsbane...no control...transforming..." He spat through his teeth as he tried to hold in more of his screams.
He was weak from the large amount of diluted White Oak ash that Kol had injected in his veins. He could even smell traces of wolfsbane in it. Kol must have put it there to enhance his pain. And because it was a full moon, and inconveniently, the moon was at its highest and he wouldn't be able to control his transformation into a wolf. He needed blood, fresh warm untainted blood, and he needed it fast. Or he would transform and go on a wolf killing spree. He couldn't do that with Caroline in the room. He couldn't. He wouldn't. But he couldn't help himself as he let out another whimper as the pain threatened to get the best of him.
Caroline suddenly understood. Without hesitating even for a moment, she strode up to him and took his face in her hands. He somewhat calmed down at her touch. She looked at him straight in the eyes and told him, no, ORDERED him, "Now look here wolfman, you are not going to transform. You are not going to hurt me." She said it with so much conviction, that he himself believed it. A small part of him awoke that still cared for his loved ones awoke and struggled to overcome his wolf gene. He was not going to hurt the woman in front of him. He was not going to hurt the woman he loved! He finally admitted that he loved her. He hadn't even admitted it to himself until he felt a cold fear gnawing at his heart when he had seen Kol reach up to rip her heart out and kill her. His advice which he had given to Elijah long ago, "Love is a vampire's greatest weakness." felt empty now. No, he decided, love did not make him weak, it made him STRONG...He loved Caroline. He LOVED her and he was not going to hurt her! But he still a little weak and he needed blood before he could control himself completely.
Caroline could see conflict in his eyes. She could see that he needed blood. Without a hesitation, she untied him from the wall, from where Kol had tied him after threatening Caroline and forcing him to inject the poisonous mixture directly above his heart. He slumped down on the floor. She cradled his head against her shoulder and bit into her wrist. She held her wrist out in front of him and grinned at him. There was disbelief written all over his face. He couldn't believe that she was offering her blood to him. She was offering to 'blood share' with him. In all his centuries, he had never done that with ANYONE! And no one had EVER offered without him having to compel them!
Grinning, she repeated the same thing he had told her months ago."There you go Sweetheart. Have at it." she mimicked.
That was all he needed. He bit into her bleeding wrist and drank. It was the sweetest blood he had ever tasted. He drank until he could feel his strength returning. He would drink no more than necessary. He wouldn't hurt her more than he had to.
When he pulled away, he looked at her, "Thank you Caroline." The way her name rolled off his tongue sent a shiver through her spine. She smiled softly, "Well, now we are even." "Here..."he bit into his wrist and offered some to her... She shook her head, disapproving, but before she could say he anything, he said, "You will need it, love. I bit you while drinking, and by the way, I apologize for that, but that's not the point. Look at the bite, love."
She looked, and saw that it was turning infectious, and already she could see black veins highlighted in her arm against her ivory skin...This meant that the poison was already spreading in her body through the blood in her veins. "See, its infected. You need my blood. "He bit into his wrist and held out his hand to her."Here. Go on." he urged her. She looked at him hesitantly. He tilted his head and smiled, "It's your choice!" Caroline let out a frustrated sigh, "Ok Fine! But I am not going to drink more than necessary. You are already weak. Ok?" Klaus smiled to see that she had genuine concern for him. "Of course, love. Whatever you want." As Caroline bit into his wrist, he felt a strange elation at the feeling of her soft lips on his skin, her tongue brushing slightly against his wrist as she greedily drank. Caroline, too, could feel the intense emotions running through her. She felt a strangely satisfied elation surge through her... The intensity of the feelings took over and she staggered into his fine, firmly toned chest, his arm wrapped firmly around her shoulders. Her mind felt dizzy. She decided to pull away before this got out of her control. Her breathing was ragged as she pulled away from his wrist. She was suddenly aware that she was pressed tightly against him, her back against his chest. She pushed away from him. She was embarrassed at the way she had reacted to his blood. She looked away, avoiding his intense stare, blushing slightly. Suddenly, she looked over Klaus's shoulder to see Stefan collapse due to exhaustion. Shit! She had forgotten about the rest of them...
She ran to help Stefan while Klaus went to untie Rebekah. She untied his shackles and he too collapsed to the ground, unconscious. SHIT! How could she have forgotten?! She had blood bags in her side bag, which was currently lying in the corner of the next room where Kol had thrown it. Stefan's pulse was getting low. She wondered how long it had been since he had fed on his 'bunny diet'... No wonder he had collapsed. He was so weak, and not to mention the large amounts of vervain she could smell inside his system. Probably Kol's doing. She ran across the room, jumping over Kol's dissected body. She grabbed the blood bag from her purse. Well well...It seemed like luck was with her today. She had not one, but TWO extra blood bags, so three in total. They must be enough. She remembered now, that she was on her way to Stefan's house to have a nice 'drink' with Elena to talk about Stefan when she had discovered them missing. Then, on her way to Elena's from Bonnie's house, Kol had grabbed her.
She took one and threw the other two to Klaus, which he caught in his long perfect hands easily."Feed one to Rebekah. Free the others and feed the other one to them." she called out to him. He just nodded and proceeded to feed Rebekah. Caroline pulled off the plastic nozzle and brought the bag to Stefan's lips. He consumed nearly whole of the bag before his heart was thrumming in its normal pace. She gave the rest of the bag to him. There wasn't much anyway. She turned back to see that Klaus had already fed Damon and Elena and was untying them.
'Smart' she thought. 'He fed them before untying them, so that they could handle themselves and not feel too weak and collapse on top of him!.' And then she saw Tyler, still shackled to the wall, no fresh blood on his lips, unlike Elena and Damon. She went up to him and bit her wrist. She was already tired by feeding her blood to Klaus, but she had to do it. Elena and Damon had finished up the other bag and there was no blood left for Tyler. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see Klaus staring down at her, an unfathomable expression in his eyes.
Wait, was that...jealousy? She didn't know and she did not have time to find out as Klaus turned away, bit his wrist and let his dripping blood pool in an empty blood bag before giving it to Tyler to drink. He turned to her with a soft expression on his face, "You have lost enough blood feeding me, love. Don't push your luck." She suddenly, for some reason, felt all warm and fuzzy and her heart felt like it would explode at the intense look in his eyes. He looked at her with such a tender and caring, yet intense gaze.
Suddenly, there was a groaning sound at the other end of the room. She looked over Klaus's shoulder to see Stefan trying to stand up. She was SO relieved. She wasn't even sure he would be able to live. She would have never left his side, like he had never left hers when he was helping her to adjust to become a vampire, if not for Tyler who was also shackled against the wall. She felt a wave of relief surge through her, and without thinking, she flashed to his side, and threw herself at him, knocking him against the wall. But she just did not care. All that she cared was that her best friend, who had always been there for her was alive...Her 'big brother' was alive! She was delighted! She looked at him, his face between her palms, a ghost of a smile forming on his face.
My exams are starting from the next week. I have around 5 days for my exams. So I probably wont be updating very regularly. I may manage the next two chapters. But after that, not possible. And if my mom catches me with my laptop, she is sure to lock it away. She does not want me to be near the computer until my exams get over. :( So, I'll try my best to upload and give it my best shot.
