Chapter Seven
It's getting dark in this heart of mine- Passenger
England 1859
Crunch crunch.
Silver tumbled out parted lips into the freezing cold air, it has been a long winter.
The icy blue eyes peered around, a smile gracing the parted lips as a sigh of relief spilled from her lips along with the silvery breath, her skin pale but cheeks pink from the cold along with her nose, her hair was pinned half up with her curls tamed and growing past her shoulders, a pale blue hat sitting on her head to hold her hair up. She dressed in a long blue pale coat over her light grey dress, she lifted her arm up and wiggled her white gloved fingers with a big smile.
From behind a tree stepped a man, sandy blonde hair reaching past his ears, a thin stubble gracing his jaw, he smirked at her, predatory features with a deadly grin.
"Carina, love" he said and she ran to him, he picked her up easily in an embrace.
"Nik you came back!" she cried hugging him tightly, the warmth between them heating her cold body, she buried her face in his shoulder, she had not seen him for about 6 months.
"of course I did" he told her studying her features, she had gotten more beautiful since he last saw her, but the happiness died in her eyes when she remembered.
"Nik I have something to say" she said, he heard her heartbeat pick up slightly and her eyes become glassy with a thin layer of tears, with more pooling at the bottom of her eyes.
"Tell me Carina" he said, the 18 year old chewed her lip nervously.
"My family are moving to America" she whispered, he dropped her shoulders and her feet fell flat on the floor, tears dribbled from her eyes.
"I am so sorry Nik" she said, he looked down.
"This had to end sometime, you are my weakness, I can't have a weakness Carina. I am sorry, this is goodbye" he said, her mouth hung open.
"N-No! No Nik No! we can… we can work something out!" she cried walking after him as he turned on his heels and walked off.
"At some point in this world you will die! And I won't! I will always live! So what is the point in me loving you or being with you if it won't last forever? This is better for both of us Carina! You need to find someone who you can grow old and have children with, and you won't find that in me" he said and she cupped a hand over her mouth as she sobbed.
He took one last lingering look at her before closing his eyes and turning around and walking away.
The veins appearing as he flashed away, he would turn to the veins to ease his pain.
He could still hear her heartbroken sobs.
"Can you stop pacing, your making me dizzy" Enzo said annoyed sitting on the couch with an empty glass in his hands.
"8 hours they have been gone" he said, Enzo rolled his eyes.
"A hormonal pregnant 170… what? 172? Years under her belt, oh and did I mention the fact she was the second ever hybrid in history with the most powerful man this earth has ever seen? Yeah I reckon she is fine" Enzo said and Damon glared at him.
"You know you are really starting to piss me off, why haven't you left my house yet?" Damon asked.
Enzo smirked and fiddled with the glass "Because I am really enjoying the worry on your face, how does Elena feel about this?" he asked smugly.
Damon gritted his teeth "Elena is fine" he growled.
"Trouble in paradise?" he asked, Damon flashed over to him and grabbed his shirt, but then footsteps outside the door made him drop Enzo and flash to the door and swing it open, only to deflate.
"Damon we need to talk" Elena said wringing her hands, he opened the door wider for her to step in, the disappointment weighing heavily on his gut. He didn't know where she was but he (Very selfishly he admits) doesn't want her to move on, he doesn't want her to rekindle whatever thing her and Klaus had going on at the bar which struck him, there was something underneath that tearful reunion, not even he knew about Klaus, she had always refused to speak about it when she would go see Klaus, well whatever it was, he didn't want her to go to him, he was also getting really annoyed with Enzo's little obsession with Carina, that was all he spoke about. He had only just got her back, and although he chose Elena again, he didn't want her to choose anyone over him. He knew it was evil of him but he couldn't help it. He needed her one way or another, and the baby blessed him with the glue to bind them together.
-.-.-
"Don't trip" Klaus said as he grabbed her hand, she flung the bloody hand gripping her boot off and laughed, her eye showed a maniac of a person beneath it, her face drenched in blood along with her pretty little dress and boots, blood dribbled from her chin and neck down her low V neck dress, she smiled and he escorted her over the body, the man trembled drenched in his own blood, stupid vampire trying to attack her, fool, she had bitten him within a split second, Klaus had certainly had his fun with him too.
"Ugh, I am still thirsty! What about you?" she asked, his bloody finger wiped the blood from her chin and licked it.
"Very" he said his eyes scanning the 5 other bodies that lay dead, neck wounds, one or two even with their heads detached from their bodies.
Later on Carina sat down, amongst the dead bodies in the forest, it felt like the only place she knew.
Klaus sat beside her, she looked like the girl he found way back when, although she was smeared in blood, she had that lost look in her eyes, the humanity weighing on her, not the remorse, the troubles she faces, she rubbed tiny circles on her growing stomach and stared off into space.
He was about to speak as he opened his mouth and drew a tiny amount of air before she cut him to the chase.
"Why did you break up with me all those years ago?" she asked, his face dropped, she continued "I mean, we could have been so happy together… so what if I would have been dead? I wouldn't have to go through all of this, I never would have met Damon… never would be in so much pain… I never would have experienced so much heart break, I would have had a good life" she said, he looked to the floor.
"Believe it or not Carina but I did love you, I thought what me and Tatia shared was love, but you showed me wrong, you proved to me that love didn't just exist in family, it was real and stronger. You was my first love Carina, and as much as I still love you inside and you the same with me, I know this isn't what you want, you think this will solve your pain and it won't, do not regret anything" he told her, and then continued "You would never have been pregnant, and would you really want to grow old whilst I never aged? Carina, if you ever wanted me, I would be here, but I know that you love Damon more than life itself and as dangerous as it is, I can't compete with that, and I know you wouldn't want to put anyone in the same position as you are" he said and she sniffled
"I'm sorry" she said after a minute, he smiled and sat beside her.
"We did have a good romance between us huh? This would have been a good romance novel" he said and she laughed and wiped her eyes.
"This world isn't for me Nik, I can't play toy soldier forever, as much as I have changed, I will never outgrow Carina from 1864, heartbroken, alone and waiting for her true love to come back for her, and in reality he never did, Nik I would have been miserable, and no matter what I do now, I will still be miserable! I hate loving him!" she cried and her shoulders shook with sobs, he hugged her, the same heartbroken sobs rang in his mind from when he left her, he hushed her, as out of character he was acting, this woman was a sensitive part of him.
"It will get better" he soothed.
She stopped crying and lifted her head and kissed his cheek. "Thank you" she said, he wiped her tears away, they made a clean white trail in the thick dried blood on her cheeks.
"On the bright side, we can both reproduce, so when this is all over what do you say we make a gorgeous baby of our own?" he asked and she laughed and he smiled, glad to have cheered his old friend up.
"Let's get you home to my least favourite Salvatore" he said standing her up, she wiped her cheeks and sniffled, he grabbed her hand and flashed the pair away.
"Oh for god's sake! Are you going to tear each other's clothes off or tear each other's heads off?" Enzo yelled from the couch.
"Why do you pick her over me?" Elena cried, Damon growled rolling his eyes.
Gritting his teeth and clenching his fists he snapped, he had had enough of Elena's poky comments. "I CHOSE YOU OVER HER! I HAD JUST SACRIFICED THE MOST IMPORTANT FRIENDSHIP WITH THE MOTHER OF MY CHILD FOR YOU! YOU CONTINUE TO BE JEALOUS AND YOU ARE DRIVING ME INSANE! I LOVE YOU ELENA! AND I CHOOSE YOU!" he yelled, Enzo had a 'oh shit' look on his face as the bottom of his lip jutted out to the left, his eyes glued behind him.
In the doorway stood Carina and Klaus, one looking crushed and the other looking extremely pissed off.
Carina's heartbroken look was gone as fast as it came, her eyes hardened and her face turned to stone, the blankness of her face made Damon's heart twinge in pain, Elena looked at Klaus in fear but couldn't hide the smug feeling rising up in her chest.
"Get your things Carina, you can stay with me tonight" Klaus said trying to remain calm, Carina looked at him and put her hand on his arm, he could see the rage and hurt in her orbs but she tried to tell him to back down.
"Of course" she said, Stefan walked out of the kitchen (he was stocking up on food for Katherine, whom fled town until Klaus left) a disapproving looks on his face.
"Carina!" Damon yelled after her as she disappeared up the stairs, Stefan slowly shook his head disappointed in Damon for doing the same thing over again.
"Leave her, I'll go" Stefan said chasing her up the stairs.
Klaus flashed in and grabbed Damon, shoving him against the wall, Elena wailed, he looked over his shoulder at the Katerina copy, he snarled and dove his hand into Damon's chest. "You are so lucky that girl loves you so much, or I would have tore your heart out as soon as I found out what you did to her at that founders party, consider this her saving your life" he said and released Damon, he fell to the floor gasping and Elena wailed grabbing him. He shrugged her off and glared at Klaus.
"I never wanted to hurt her!" he yelled
"Well you seem to do it a lot. Tell me Damon, why is it Stefan always has to come to the rescue for Carina? That's how it always is" he snarled, Damon flinched, Klaus smirked and walked out.
"Tell Carina I'm waiting in the car" he said slamming the door.
"Carina stop" Stefan said as she tore clothes off the hanger and threw them into the duffel bag, then some shoes and boots.
She sighed out loud, the suffocating lump in her throat being swallowed down, she looked at him.
"I'll be back tomorrow or the next day" she said with no emotion, and zipped her duffel bag.
"Carina don't do this! Don't run away from your problems" he yelled when she walked to the door, she froze.
"Stefan, I will be back, I am not running away, I am taking a break" she said calmly, he grabbed her arm.
"Carina, I will tal-"
"No one can talk this through, Stefan it's okay! He picked her, he did the same with Katherine, I have done this before, I can handle it" she said
"Please don't bury your emotions, we can get you through this" he said
"I'm here for my baby Stefan, this baby will live, this baby will be born, and fate will decide where I go from there" she said, his eyes watered.
"The scan is in 2 days, 10AM" he said deflated, she nodded and left the room, closing the door behind her.
