Chapter 5
"Marcel…" Caroline rolled her eyes. Klaus stood up watching Caroline intently.
"Carrie...where are you?"
"Shopping. Why?"
"I see. Well I have some business to attend to tonight. "
"Of course you do. Will I see you at all tonight?" Caroline said as she put a stray curl behind her ear.
"No. I will be back in a few days."
"But what about the Masquerade Ball."
"Don't fret, pet. I will be there."
"Til then." Caroline said as she hung up the phone. She threw her phone in her purse.
Klaus crossed his arms over his chest. "Are you alright, love?" His voice was ice cold.
Caroline smile. "Of course." Caroline got up and picked up her bags.
"Can I drop you off somewhere?"
Caroline laughed. "You like making trouble don't you?" "You never seemed to complain before."
"You know what…why not. " Caroline said. " We have some catching up to do, anyhow."
Klaus smirked grabbing the bags away from Caroline's hands. Klaus lead Caroline into his black SUV. He popped the trunk and placed her numerous packages into the back. He flashed over and opened the door for Caroline. She smiled at his old world charm.
Klaus drove off in silence. He had so many questions. Where would he start?
"Klaus, just ask. I'll try to answer as much as I can."
Klaus gave her a sideway stare. "You know you have to explain how you do that."
Caroline laughed. "I wish I could. I still don't understand why I can do some of the things I can. "
"I see. Where to?" He said hoping it wasn't to Marcel's.
"I have a little place nearby. "
"Really." Klaus said grinning.
Caroline chuckled. "Are you intentionally being an ass?"
"What?" He said placing a hand over his heart in mocking pain.
"Anyway." Caroline rolled her eyes. " Do you know where the International House Hotel is?"
"Yes, of course."
"Then you can take me there. " Caroline said.
"Okay." Klaus made a few turns and parked in front of the hotel valet.
A tall dark skinned valet pulled up to the SUV. "Good evening sir. Do you have business here?"
Klaus was about to answer when he felt Caroline leaning over her chest grazed the side of his shoulder.
"Hey, Charlie he's with me. Be a dear and park the car in the back. " Caroline said winking at the tall man who started to blush profusely.
"Oh…of course Mrs. Gerard…"
"Charlie. What did I say?" Caroline said sternly.
"Sorry Mrs…Caroline…" The valet said looking down.
"That's better. " She said smiling at the valet. She leaned forward and shifted the gear to park. She turned her head to face Klaus' grinning face. Her hand lowered further as she took the key off of the ignition. She smiled at the dark hue that appeared around his blue iris. He always knew how to take her breath away. She bit her lip for a second. She sighed softly. What was it about that damn hybrid that always made her weak? She cleared her throat and handed Charlie the key.
She quickly got out of the car. She shook her head. What are you doing Caroline? You're acting like a teenager. Get a grip, Caroline.
She walked over to the back of the trunk. She tapped on the back window. She waited for Klaus to pop the trunk. She leaned in and grabbed a few bags. Klaus flashed behind her and whispered in her ear. "Allow me, love."
Caroline closed her eyes. She felt goose bumps creeping all over the back of her neck. She turned her head and smiled. "Thanks." She felt the tips of her lips softly brush the side of his face. The light stubble on his face sent waves of electricity down her spine. She waited for him to step aside before she let out the breath she seemed to be holding onto the minute she stepped out of the car.
They walked into the lobby in silence. She led them into the private elevator. She took her concierge key card from her bag and put it in the elevator controller. She leaned back and held on to the railing in the elevator.
"Penthouse?" Klaus said raising an eyebrow,
Caroline smiled. "Perks of being the queen of the quarter." She shrugged off the implications to her words. She waited for the elevator's door to open before she walked out. She walked slowly to her room. She walked into the room and threw her purse on a side table in the foyer.
"Where should I put these bags, love?" Klaus said lowering his eyes toward the half a dozen bags in his hands.
Caroline walked into the kitchenette area looking for a bottle of wine. "Oh, just put it in anywhere. White or red?" She said holding up a bottle of white and red wine.
"Red." Klaus said as he sat on the small breakfast table in the kitchenette.
Caroline put the bottle of pinot on the kitchen table and put the other bottle away. She handed Klaus the bottle opener. "Do you mind?"
"Sure." Klaus said as he opened the wine bottle.
Caroline went into her bedroom to get changed. She shut the door and got changed quickly. She put on a pair tight dark blue jeans and a fitted tee. She gave herself a quick look and left her room.
"Yeh, sorry about that but those shoes were killing me. " Caroline said as she rolled her eyes.
Klaus smirked giving her a glass of wine. "You have a nice place, sweetheart."
"Thanks. It's not the Mikaelson mansion in the quarter but…" She said as she took a sip of the wine.
"Yes. " Klaus nodded clenching his teeth. "So tell me about your husband."
Caroline smiled. "Straight to the point. Okay. Well, he was sired by this very old vampire about 1200 or so years ago. Legend says he was born a ware wolf but when he turned he became both…a hybrid…"
"Caroline…" Klaus said growling at bit.
"Okay…what do you want to know?" She said laughing at his annoyance.
"What is he planning? Why does he have your daughter?"
Caroline sighed. "He's planning on keeping his crown by any means necessary. He sees your coming as a threat and is planning on dividing and conquering. He has my daughter because she's powerful. We believe she's his secret weapon. "
"We?"
"The witches and I." Caroline said taking another sip of her wine.
"How did you come upon your powers?" Klaus said grinning at the blond vampire.
"Why?" Caroline said raising an eyebrow. "So you can use it to your advantage? So you can use me like Marcel is using my daughter?" Caroline put the glass down and stood toe to toe with the hybrid.
"Caroline you sent for me. How am I suppose to help you if you won't talk to me? Tell me the truth? You know I would never hurt you..." Klaus raised his hand and started to caress the side of her face.
Caroline closed her eyes. Damn that man. Why was it so easy for her to become undone. Why was it so easy to feel safe with him, she knew that even if he didn't intent to hurt her the past painted a different tale. She didn't have to open her eyes to see the look of pleading in his eyes. She longed to tell him the truth. The whole truth but would he still look at her the same? "Are you sure that's the question you want me to answer?"
Klaus turned his head looking into her eyes. "And what question is it I want you to answer?"
"Why am I in New Orleans? Why did I marry Marcel?" Caroline said softly.
Klaus clenched his teeth. "Why was that love?"
Caroline bit her lip, she was about to answer the question when his phone started buzzing. "You should answer that it might be important."
She said smiling. She walked away and refilled their glasses.
"Hello…" Klaus said as he eyed the blonds every movement.
"Nik where the hell are you?"
"Rebekah what is it? I'm in the middle of something."
Caroline placed her hands on her hips.
"Yes, well Stefan and I ran into Mrs. Gerard today…"
Klaus tighten his fists making his knuckles white from the tension. "Oh, really. You don't say."
"Yes, I really don't know what all the fuss is about. It's just Caroline…"
Caroline shook her head. She almost missed Rebekah's sarcastic manner. Almost.
"Rebekah…did you call for a specific reason or just to test my patience. "
"Nik…don't be an arse. Elijah has called Sophie Deveraux and has scheduled a meeting…"
"Why is that?" Klaus looked at the puzzlement on Caroline's face.
"He wanted more information about the witches and their real intentions."
Caroline rolled her eyes. The originals and their innate distrust for everyone.
"Keep me informed. " Klaus said shortly.
"Okay, later Nik."
Caroline finished her wine and took a seat in the couch.
"Sorry about that, love." Klaus said as he took a seat across from Caroline.
Caroline smiled shrugging her shoulders. "So Elijah is meeting Sophie? "
"Yes, witches tend to be cryptic at best." Klaus said as he took a sip of his drink.
Caroline laughed softly. "Yes…I suppose so."
"Is there anything I should know, love?"
"About…" Caroline said raising an eyebrow.
"Caroline don't play coy."
"And what happens if I do? Will you huff and puff and blow my house down?" Caroline said smirking.
Klaus raised an eyebrow. "Is that an invitation?" He said as he leaned forward grinning at Caroline.
Caroline rolled her eyes. "Down boy…" She said as she finished her wine. She got up and grabbed his glass. She flashed over to the kitchen and refilled their glasses. She poured their drinks and shook her head. She was walking on thin ice.
Klaus walked towards her slowly. He grabbed the glass that Caroline handed him. His fingers grazed her knuckles softly. She licked her bottom lip. She started to feel her chest rise and fall deeply. She tried to catch her breath but was starting to realize how hard it really was to do. Her eyes followed the outline of his face. His eyes shone brightly. The smirk on his face match the arrogance that grew as he saw the effect he was having on her. Caroline held on to her glass tight. Her hands wanted to grab a handful of his soft curls. She needed to fight the urge as best as she could. She needed to distract her urges somehow. "When is Elijah meeting Sophie?" She said as she cleared her throat.
Klaus raised an eyebrow. He was stuck by the change in Caroline. "Tonight I suppose, why?"
"He wouldn't hurt her will he?" Caroline asked eagerly.
"No. Not unless provoked. Would she?"
"No. I promised the witches you…well most of you are to be trusted." Caroline said as she looked at the hybrid pouting slightly.
"You wound me, sweetheart. I would never hurt you." Klaus said grinning.
" Yes, but what of the other witches?"
"I can't promise anything, sweetheart."
"Same old Klaus." Caroline said rolling her eyes. She took a step away from his grip.
Klaus raised an eyebrow. "What is that suppose to mean?"
"Nothing. " Caroline said shaking her head.
"Caroline. "
" Its just you don't change. Ever." Caroline said. She took a sip of her wine.
"Why would I change, Caroline?" Klaus said plainly. He took a step forward. "Do you want me to change?"
Caroline swallowed the desire she felt whenever he was near by. "Would you?"
Klaus pressed his lips closed. He put his glass down and closed the space between them. "For you?"
Caroline looked at his soft bright red lips. Her eyes refused to move from the crimson mounds. "Yes." She said softly.
Klaus leaned in and brushed his lips over hers. "All you have to do is ask." His hands wrapped around her waist pulling her closer to his unyielding body. He heard her sigh and smirked. His fingers sent waves of molted heat down her spine. She closed her eyes lavishing in the heat radiating from his fingers. He was deteriorating her reserve. She needed to remain in control if she was going to complete her mission. She needed him to be on her side but she also needed a clear head.
"Klaus…" Caroline said as she opened her eyes looking at the black orbs of desire in front of her. She wanted this. She needed this but she needed to think of her daughter. Her daughter had to come first before any primal need she had. She put her hand on his chest and pushed him away. She needed to give her wanton body distance from its temptation. "You will never change. There will always be another war to fight. Another enemy. I don't expect anything else from you. You will never change. Not for me or your…" Caroline bit her lip. Caroline control your emotions.
"My what Caroline?" Klaus said as he raised his eyebrow.
Caroline think. Think. " Your…family…what else…what else would matter to you?" Caroline said trying to control the tone in her voice.
"Of course." Klaus looked at her in bewilderment. What was she hiding? What wasn't she not telling him?
"I have told you everything you needed to know, Klaus. If you want full disclosure you are going to have to give me the same respect. "
"Caroline."
"Klaus why would I show you all my cards? I have to protect myself somehow." Caroline said as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Protect yourself from what?" Concern filled his eyes. Was she afraid of someone? Was someone after her? Was she not safe in her own home?
"Klaus I have to protect myself and my daughter. But Marcel was your doing. You created that monster. Its your job to fix it. " She said defiantly.
"Caroline I will not be ordered around. Not from anyone. Not even you. " He said as his eyes turned golden.
Caroline narrowed her eyes. She shook her head. "That's the Klaus I know. I told you everything you need to know. I told you why I called you. I told you why she is so important to me. I also told you I would help bring back your brother. What else do you want from me? What else could you possibly want?"
Klaus lowered his face. He felt shame. She needed his help and all he could think about was being ordered around. Losing control. He knew he would help Caroline at all cost. She was so important to him. She meant everything. Conquering Marcel was important but something told him he needed to help her. He didn't know why but some force was driving him towards Caroline. He would help. Of course he would. "Caroline you asked me for help of course I'll help you."
Caroline walked towards the sink and put her glass in the sink. She closed her eyes holding on the edges of the sink. She took a deep breath. She wanted to tell him why but she couldn't. She promised she would keep her daughter safe at all cost. Caroline felt him behind her. She wanted him to hold her tight but if she did she would come undone.
Klaus put his hands on her shoulders. He felt her exhale. She was holding on to something. It was weighing her down. He wished she would trust him even if it was just a little. "Caroline…you trust me don't you?"
Caroline felt a tear fall down the side of her cheek. She wiped the stray tear away. "Klaus…"
Klaus turned her around slowly. Her eyes were moist with tears that threaten to fall. She kept her eyes closed. She lowered her face she couldn't look at him not now. Klaus lifted her face. "Look at me, love."
Caroline opened her eyes. He was looking at her with the softest blue hue. They reminded her of a clear blue sky. She smiled remembering the moments they shared. "Klaus…I do trust you. That's why I called you. Your the only person that can help me save…save…" Caroline stopped when she heard her phone go off. She closed her eyes and forced a smile on her face. She walked out of Klaus embrace and found her phone.
"Hello."
"Caroline."
"Sophie, what a surprise." She said as she turned to look at Klaus.
"Caroline, I just received a call from Elijah. He wants to meet tonight. "
"Yeh, what did you say?"
"I told him I would ask you. "
"Okay, he just wants to get some intel. He doesn't know if he can trust us. Call him. Meet him. Text me the location. "
"Okay…see you soon. Blessed be."
"Blessed be."
Caroline hung up the phone. She turned to Klaus. "Klaus this isn't a trap is it?"
"No, of course not." Klaus said shaking his head.
"Okay, I'm going to go get ready. I'll meet you down stairs. I need to lock up."
Klaus nodded.
Caroline waited until he left before she grabbed her back pack. She took some sage, a few daggers, and her keys. She went into her room and took her leather jacket. She headed down the stairs. Her phone vibrated and she saw Sophie's text.
Fountain in the botanical gardens. Thirty minutes. Sophie.
Be careful. Caroline.
Caroline walked out of the hotel and saw Klaus waiting for her. "Klaus they're meeting in the fountain in…"
"Botanical Gardens. "
Caroline smiled.
"Elijah just called. "
"Okay…I'll meet you there." Caroline said as she headed towards the garage.
"I'll drive you." Klaus said pointing to his SUV.
" I got a ride. I'll meet you." Caroline said as she walked to greet Charlie.
Klaus smirked. He got into his SUV and headed out to meet his brother.
Caroline walked into the garage and gave Charlie a quick nod goodbye. She took her keys and got on her Augusta f4. She put her helmet and accelerated. She drove away using the backwoods. She needed to get there before anything happened. She let her thoughts flow. Her mind showed her pictures of him. He was always with her. Even when she couldn't admit it to herself. She smiled as she remembered the look of concern on his face. His eyes always betrayed his emotions. She was his weakness and she knew it. That was part of the reason they could never be truly happy. She wanted to get lost in his arms but there was always something holding her back. She shook her head . She couldn't think of such things anymore. It was unfair. Her heart wanted to get lost in his arms but her mind warned her of all the things she could lose if she had.
Sophie waited by the fountain. She started to pace. Her instincts told her this was a trap. She hoped Caroline would hurry. There was something brewing she knew it. It was not wise to keep meeting but when a thousand year old vampire calls what other choice do you have. She saw a dark figure approach. It was Elijah followed by the hybrid. Sophie chanted a protection spell just in case. She knew it wasn't wise but she had to protect herself. She held the crystal necklace around her neck. She prayed the goddess would protect her.
"Miss Deveraux I'm so glad you came."
"I didn't seem to have a choice." She spouted.
"Yes." Elijah gave his brother a side glance. "Where is Mrs. Gerald?"
"She's on her way. " Sophie said as she kept her head up high. She will not show fear. "Why have you sent for me?"
"I have questions." Elijah said as he fixed the button on his jacket.
"I try to give you as much answers as possible." Sophie said.
"Fair enough. Can the witches bring back my brother?"
"Yes. When and if you agree to help." Sophie looked at the hybrid curiously. He was scanning the park. He was looking for someone.
"We need assurances that what you say is true. " Elijah said.
"Assurances?" Sophie asked.
Elijah looked at the witch for a second. Her face harden. Her pulse was racing.
Klaus turned around. "We have company."
Elijah stood in front of Sophie. He listened closely. There were three vampires coming closer. One was coming from the north entrance. The second was coming from the south entrance. Elijah gave his brother a signal.
Klaus nodded and split up. He would take the north entrance and Elijah the south.
Klaus flashed closer to the sound. He waited for the vampires to appear. It was one of Marcel's men. Klaus grinned. Time for a little fun. He walked towards the men. He was grinning darkly. "Why are you following me ,mate?"
The vampire shrugged. "Where's the witch?" A dark skinned vampire with a head full of hair demanded.
"Any witch in particular, mate?" Klaus said aloof.
"Marcel knows one of them is here. " The vampire said. The vampire held his stance he was ready to attach if need be. Marcel asked to catch the witch. Alive or else there would be hell to pay.
"Looking for me sugar…?" Caroline said as she parked her bike. She took off her helmet and placed it on the bike.
Diego looked at Caroline. "This doesn't concern you Caroline. " Diego said.
Caroline smiled and walked towards them. "Everything concerns me."She said as she walked swinging her hips. "This isn't your fight, Caroline." Diego said.
Caroline shrugged. "I like being involved." She said as she gave Klaus a nod.
"Where is she Caroline?" Diego insisted.
"Who?" Caroline said as she walked towards Diego.
Diego clenched his teeth. He was beginning to get annoyed. This blonde was always interfering in business. She was a nuisance. He didn't know what Marcel saw in her other then the obvious. Her body was nice to look out but that mouth stung like a viper.
Caroline smiled and walked closer. "Is that so?" She flash forward and snapped his neck.
"What was that for love?" Klaus said a bit bewildered.
"He was being disrespectful." Caroline said as she walked towards the fountain.
Klaus raised an eyebrow . He shrugged and followed Caroline.
"Where's the other guy?"
"What guy?"
"Marcel always sends his guys out on patrol in pairs. Diego is down for a while but Tigg is usually with him. Their brothers." Caroline said as she saw the confusion on Klaus face disappear. Davina must of sensed Sophie. Where is she?"
"With Elijah. "
"Is she okay?" Caroline asked frowning.
"Yes. We sensed the vampires coming and we split other one should be in the north entrance. " Klaus said.
"Elijah can't kill any of Marcel's men yet. We don't want to attract anymore attention to ourselves. " Caroline warned. She flashed towards the north entrance. She channeled Sophie. She had to reach them before Elijah killed Tigg.
Caroline saw Elijah holding Tigg by the throat. He was about to rip his heart out of his chest.
"Give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you where you stand?" Elijah said as he held Tigg in the air.
Caroline flashed forward followed by Klaus holding Diego. "Elijah let him go. We do not want any more problems with Marcel. It would not be wise. " She said through clenched teeth.
Elijah looked at her curiously. He turned his head and continued to tighten his grip on Tigg.
Caroline looked at Klaus for help. He shrug his shoulders. She rolled her eyes. "Fine…" Caroline started to chant and raised her hands in the air. Her eyes turned completely white. Elijah's grip loosen on the vampire. Tigg fell on the ground. Elijah was doubled over. He was paralyzed. Anger filled his eyes as he saw Caroline walking closer.
She lowered her arms slowly. " Klaus don't let Diego and Tigg go. You have to compel him to forget Sophie was here or else she dies. Please…" Caroline said pleading to the indifferent hybrid. "Klaus please…"
Klaus huffed. He flashed over and grabbed Tigg and Diego and compelled them. "You came to the botanic gardens and didn't find the witch. You were too late. " Klaus dilated his eyes and waited for the vampires to repeat the compulsion.
Caroline flashed over to Sophie. She checked her for bruises. "Are you okay?"
"Yes, thanks to Elijah I am." Sophie said.
Caroline held her shoulders and smiled. "Good. I was worried. "
"They have been compelled, love." Klaus said as he walked towards Caroline.
Caroline turned and smiled brightly. "Thank you, Klaus." Caroline turned and saw Elijah flashing towards her.
Elijah grabbed Caroline by the neck and lifted her off the ground. "What exactly are you after? "
Caroline rolled her eyes. She was really starting to get tired of this. His mistrust was starting to become dangerous. "Let me go, Elijah."
Klaus flashed over and removed his grip on Carline. "Elijah…" Klaus' eyes turned golden. Elijah pushed Klaus sending him flying across the field.
Caroline stared to feel the bones in her neck start to crack one by one. Caroline was having trouble keeping her eyes open. She stretched her hand she had to get the dagger in the side of her boot. Almost there. Almost.
Elijah held the blond's neck. He was going to get answers one way of another. "I do not like being manipulated…"
Caroline held the dagger tightly in her hands. "Elijah I couldn't let you kill Tigg. If you had Marcel would of known exactly what happened. He would of killed Sophie. I couldn't let…." Caroline started to get dizzy. She held the dagger and swung it across his face. Elijah ducked his head. He loosened his hand allowing Caroline to escape. Elijah flashing towards her. Caroline struggled to run away. Elijah was inched away from her.
Klaus shook his head and saw Elijah trying to attack Caroline. He saw red. He had to hurry. He flashed forwards and wrestle his brother off of Caroline.
Elijah punched Klaus square on the jaw. Klaus turned his head smirking as he spat out some blood. He jumped forward and held Elijah in a head lock. Elijah punched his brother's chest. Klaus rolled over hunching over. Elijah flashed over and pinned Klaus down. He put his hand through his chest cavity. "Why are you protecting her Niklaus?"
Klaus grabbed his brother's arms and held them. Elijah pushed along. Klaus hissed.
Caroline flashed over yelling, "No…" She stood behind Elijah and grabbed his neck. She took a deep breath an twisted with all her strength.
Elijah's hands loosen and fell back. Everything went dark.
Klaus leaned back and closed his eyes. He was trying to catch his breath.
Caroline flashed towards Klaus. She put his head on her lap. "Are you okay?" She rubbed his hair looking at his labored breathing.
"I'm okay, love." Klaus said smirking. He held onto her hand and gave it a squeeze. "I am an original…."
Caroline held his hand smiling. "I know…" She looked at the knowing smirk on his face and shook her head. She leaned in and kiss his forehead. Klaus closed his eyes relishing in her touch.
Caroline turned her head when she heard Sophie clearing her throat. She smiled.
"Caroline…Elijah is starting to stir." Sophie said as she started to blush at the display in front of her.
Caroline nodded. She moved Klaus' head slightly. Klaus frowned for a second missing Caroline's sweet caress.
She shifted her body giving Klaus a glare as he tried to lock her in with his upper body. "Niklaus…" She said as she frowned at the smirking hybrid.
"Brother…things are starting to become clear. " Elijah said as he walked closer to Niklaus as he got up from Caroline's arms.
Caroline got up and walked towards Sophie. "Sophie, you should go before Marcel decides to send anymore of his minions. "
Sophie nodded and followed Caroline. Caroline handed Sophie her helmet and started her bike. Caroline took off and in an few minutes she was in front of Sophie's apartment. Caroline took the helmet from Sophie and put it on.
"Caroline are you going to be able to carry out the mission? " Sophie said as she stood in front of Caroline. She crossed her arms over her chest giving the vampire a deep frown.
"Sophie relax. Yes I have a past with Klaus but I know what my priorities are. " Caroline said as she gave the witch a warm smile.
"Caroline…I saw the way you were looking at the hybrid. "
"I have one objective that's saving my daughter you know that."
"Yes…but…"
"Do not forget that you owe me…" Caroline said with a little more venom then necessary.
Sophie lowered her eyes. "I know. I didn't mean…"
"It's okay Sophie…I know what you meant. Your not completely wrong but trust me the way that I trust you."
"Of course , Caroline…you know I do."
"Good…I need someone on my side. Between what happened with Elijah it seems everyone is on edge." Caroline said annoyed. "Sophie have you collected everything you need for the spell."
"Yes…well I need one more ingredient but I don't want Marcel to find out…" Sophie said with a worried look on your face.
"I'll get it what is it?"
"Wolfsbane."
Caroline nodded. "Okay…give me a couple of days. Sophie here take this dagger we'll need it. "
Sophie grabbed the dagger carefully. "Be careful Caroline…"
Caroline smiled and took off. She accelerated and was home in minutes. She parked her bike in the garage and headed up to her apartment.
She walked up to the apartment and placed her bag down. She smelled scotch and cheap perfume. She rolled her eyes. "Marcel." She placed her most superficial smile and addressed her dear husband.
Marcel smirked. "Carrie…baby…." He opened his arms walking towards Caroline. He turned to kiss her and she moved her head abruptly.
"Marcel you know that shipped has sailed…" She rolled her eyes and shrug out of his embrace.
Marcel shrugged his shoulders. "That may be pet. But for now you will pretend. "
"And why should I do that?" Caroline spat.
"Because I know one of your witches were doing magic…" He said as he poured himself a drink.
"I don't know what your talking about?" Caroline said rolling her eyes.
Marcel flashes forward and grabbed her arm. "I know the witches are planning something and when I find out who it was I will end them…no matter who it is…" He said as he caressed the side of her face with the back of his hand.
Caroline turned her face away cringing in disgust. "Is that why your here? You told me you were going away for a few days. What changed?"
"Niklaus Mikaelson. Apparently he compelled Diego and Tigg. He's planning something. "
Caroline poured herself some wine. "What could he be planning?"
"I don't know. But you are going to help me find out…" He said grinning at Caroline's disgust.
Caroline sighed. "What are talking about?"
"You and Niklaus have a history. Make friends with him find out what he knows…what he's planning. "
"You know I despise him. " She said frowning. She finished her wine in one gulp.
Marcel smirked. "Oh Carrie…I know you can find a way…you wouldn't want anything to happen to Davina would you?"
Caroline opened her eyes. "You wouldn't dare!" She yelled.
Marcel shrugged. "Depends on you…"
Caroline took the empty glass in her hand and threw it at Marcel. Marcel laughed and flashed away before the glass landed on his head. Caroline huffed as she saw Marcel blow her a kiss and leave the apartment.
