Chapter Six
Hold my head inside your hands,
I need someone who understands.
I need someone, someone who hears,
For you, I've waited all these years.- Coldplay
"Hello Gorgeous, I'm Enzo"
Carina's eye brow lifted and she smiled she was used to being hit on… because Klaus used to do it all the time. Klaus, I wonder if he misses me too? Maybe I could go see him…
"Hello Enzo, my name is Carina" she said and she removed her hand from his grip.
"Very lovely to meet you" he said and she nodded.
"You too, it is nice to hear a familiar accent, I must say" she said, Damon was getting very irritated at how comfortable she was talking to him, like she had known him for years.
"Alright show's over Enzo, get out of my house" Damon said, Carina's eyes widened.
"How could you speak to a guest in such a way?" She asked horrified.
"Trust me, he is no guest" Damon said ushering Enzo out, he grabbed her hand and kissed it again.
"See you around gorgeous" he said and Damon pushed him, Carina clamped her lips shut to stop her laugh.
"See you later mate" Enzo said to Damon as he slammed the door.
"You stay away from him" Damon told her
"Why on earth would I do that?" she asked
"Because Enzo is dangerous" Damon said and she laughed.
"Oh please Damon, don't be adorable, you know I am a hybrid with 140 odd years under my belt, and yes I do know about the age is power rule, and I am significantly older than you" she said a look of pride on her face, Damon sighed.
"Just stay away from him okay?"
"No" she said simply and walked towards the stairs and put her hand at the end.
"Good night boys" she said smoothly and walked up them.
They stared at her in shock as she disappeared.
"Did she just call us boys?" Stefan asked
"Yep" Damon said.
"I need a drink"
"I'm with you brother"
Carina put on some 'Pjamas' as Caroline said which was very revealing, some blue drawstring shorts and a black tank top, though she had to admit, very comfortable, she sat down on the bed and let her eyes wander around the room, until her eyes fell onto a book, it was very old looking and then picked it up.
There were no pages inside of it, she did find a few pages though.
And on that first page made her smile.
A family photo of Damon and Stefan with their Mother and Father, she remembered Damon showing her this photo, and his mother was so beautiful.
Then the next page made tears well up in her eyes, she remembered those moments so perfectly, she hated photos because they made her feel like such a fool, and then the one with her and Damon, she remembered laughing at what he was saying, she heard footsteps approaching and quickly wiped her eyes and put the book back in its place, she blinked the tears away and swallowed thickly.
The door opened and Damon walked through, she turned around and crossed her legs and placed her hand in the little shape.
"Damon" she said and he smiled slightly.
"Carina… Hi" he said and walked forward and sat down.
"What is a matter?" she asked
"This is…uh… my room" he said and her eyes widened and she put her hand over her mouth.
"Oh! I am so sorry" she said standing, he grabbed her wrist.
"Stay" he said and she smiled and nodded hesitantly.
She sat down beside him.
"It was not this awkward last time" she joked and he smiled at her.
"We always used to do this" he said and she bit her lip.
"Why don't you just send me away?" she asked
"What?" he asked
"You are obviously occupied, and no longer love me… why would you want me here?" she asked sadly.
"Carina, I will always love you" he said and she looked up at him sadly.
"You cannot say that to me, you will just hurt me" she whispered
"I mean it, but I have Elena now, and I fought tooth and nail for her, I love her" he said and she swallowed down the lump.
"And there is the sting" she said, he looked at her sadly.
"I am sorry" he said
"You are not" she whispered and closed her eyes.
"Carina I don't want to hurt you" he protested
"Then why do you openly do it? You know I love you with every ounce of my soul, yet you wave Elena in front of my face and break my heart" she said
"I-"
"No, don't you dare! You are choosing her over me again! Just like with Katherine, I will always be second best! I won't have it Damon! Stop taking advantage of my love? Why do you enjoy hurting me?" She sobbed and he hugged her.
"I'm so sorry" he whispered
"No" she cried and pushed him away.
"This is just like the founders ball! You are a liar! You are disgusting! You are just like Katherine! You play with me like a puppet! I wonder even if you love me at all! If you even meant it? Was it because Katherine chose Stefan? Was I just there as revenge? Why do you hurt me so?" she asked running her hands though her hair.
"Calm down!" he begged and grabbed her shoulders.
"I love you! I do and I loved you then and I love you now! I will always love you Carina! Always!" he cried and she narrowed her eyes at him.
"they why pick another over me when you just got me back?" she asked dangerously, he couldn't answer.
"Just what I thought" she muttered darkly.
"Please" he begged
"I wish there was a way to end all of this pain, to stop the constant heartbreak, you promised, you promised and you broke and you broke, you are a sadist! You enjoy my pain, or maybe I am just here to flatter you, someone you always have waiting for you, always second best.
I wish I could turn it all off, stop it all" she whispered.
"No! No Carina don't! Please!" he begged, she closed her eyes.
"What about our baby? Please Carina" he said and she opened her eyes, and looked at him.
"So many broken promises, I waited for you, I mourned you, I waited, cried, waited, and cried. I wish you never released me from that tomb, I would go through all the fake Damon's again and all the hurt and torture than this" she said in a deadly calm tone.
He dropped his hands from her shoulders and she blinked another tear down her face.
"I hate you" she said and he blinked back the tears and the agonising lump in his throat grew.
He sat back on his bed numbly.
Was all of this worth hurting her for?
"Carina?" Stefan asked tiredly as she got into his bed and snaked her arms around his torso, he rubbed her back.
"What's wrong?" he asked
"Just please, hold me" she whispered shakily and he felt the pain and heartbreak in her voice, and the wetness of her cheeks and the ongoing tears soaking his shirt, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead.
"What happened?" he asked
"History repeating itself" she whispered and closed her sore aching eyes, Stefan's heart ached for her, he too had felt the pain of someone choosing another over him.
"I understand" he whispered closing his eyes.
Damon listened to the words Stefan and Carina shared, his heart ached more than when he found out Katherine never loved him.
He numbly walked down the stairs and decided Bourbon was his best friend.
4 days later
"And that leads us up to now" Stefan said as they sat in the grill with Caroline, she had met Matt and immediately took a liking to him.
"Uh oh, Tyler is here" Stefan said nudging Caroline, she rolled her eyes at Stefan.
"Tyler? Who is he?" she asked
"Tyler Lockwood is Caroline's ex boyfriend" Stefan said.
"Lockwood?" she asked
"Yep, hybrid" Caroline said, Tyler walked up to the bar and ordered a drink from Matt.
"Who is this?" he asked them pointing to Carina, she resisted the urge to growl at this boy's rudeness, yep defiantly a Lockwood.
"Carina Bird" she said proudly.
"Bird?" he asked shocked.
"MMhmm" she hummed.
"Like Priscilla Bird's daughter?" he asked
"My mother? How do you know her?" she asked.
"Family history" he said and she sighed.
"Yes, it is I" she said and his eyes widened.
"Cool" he said and she turned back to Stefan and Caroline and they laughed.
"Right come on, do you want to get to this baby scan or what?" Stefan asked, she smiled and nodded.
"Goodbye Matt" she said and he smiled.
"Seeya Carina" he said and she waved as Stefan pulled her away.
Just then the doors opened and in walked the one and only.
Niklaus.
Carina stopped breathing, she felt like someone had punched a hole through her chest.
"Rina?" he asked and Damon walked in behind him with Enzo.
"Nik?" she asked, he looked at her outfit, she wore a black dress with a v-neck and it had ¾ length sleeves with roses all over it and came to her mid-thigh, she also wore knee length boots that looked like native American boots in black and white socks peeking out the top.
And he wore jeans with a top, she was truly stunned.
She walked up to him and he looked at her with awe.
"You are alive" he whispered.
"Almost" she said as the yellow in her eyes appeared and he laughed, pure emotion on his face and then he hugged her tightly.
"I have missed you so much" she whispered.
"Stefan I think we will have to cancel that baby scan" she said and Damon looked furious. She had avoided him since that fatal argument.
Klaus looked at her stomach in shock.
"You are pregnant?" he asked
"Yes" she said
"How? Who?" he asked.
"It is a very long story" she said. Everyone was shocked or horrified at the affection Klaus showed.
"If anyone breathes a word of this, heads will roll" Klaus said and she laughed.
Enzo smirked at the envious Damon full of rage.
"Hello love" he said to Caroline who was smiling (A little jealous on her part) and then rolled her eyes at him, Carina looked between the two and smiled.
"What is this I sense?" she asked and Stefan smirked.
"Don't get into it" he said grabbing Carina's arm.
"Wait where are you going?" Damon asked
"For a baby scan" Stefan said.
"It's my baby?! You didn't even tell me!" Damon yelled
"Well we are not going anymore, we have some catching up to do" Carina said to Klaus who glared at Damon.
"It is HIS baby?" Klaus fumed
"Klaus calm down, please. Look Damon, the next scan will be re-scheduled, I am sorry we didn't tell you… but you was never in" she said softly, he looked at her and he felt his anger dissolve.
"Okay, I am sorry" he murmured.
"Ey up gorgeous? How's the baby? Giving you hell?" Enzo asked, Klaus glared at him too, he used to flirt with Carina in that way.
"Hello Enzo, and yes the baby is perfectly fine" she said and then Klaus cleared his throat.
"if you don't mind, we will be off" he said taking Carina's arm.
"Oh, erm see you later" Carina said to the others as Klaus dragged her away.
"That was the weirdest thing I have ever seen" Stefan said.
"Agreed" Stefan said, Damon was fuming.
"Who told him she was here?" he asked anger bubbling inside of him.
"She did" Stefan said.
"Are you jealous mate?" Enzo asked
"Shut up" he snapped
"I think it's cute" Caroline said.
"Isn't she stealing your man blondie?" Damon asked
"No! Shut up Damon" She hissed and stormed out, Stefan shook his head and followed her.
"Drink?" Enzo asked smirking
