Chapter 3 They Have a Plan

Mystic Falls 1864

Klaus walked into the mansion with a small smile on his face his thoughts still with Caroline Salvatore. He couldn't help but find himself enticed by her after their encounter in the woods. Granted she was very beautiful, but he found himself drawn to her in other ways as well. She'd proven herself smart, albeit she was lost, but she was aware of her surroundings. She had hidden from him and tried to protect herself although he could easy overtake a tiny blonde and a weak weapon such as a branch, but it was still invigorating to meet someone who stood up to him. Neither the less she seemed like a smart woman and he wanted to get to know her better, something he rationalized in his mind as a good idea.

Besides he figured she might know who Katarina was as well. Getting to have the blonde woman and capturing Katarina to torture her would kill two birds with one stone.

He liked the plan he was slowly making in his mind and by the time he had entered the Fell mansion he was concocting a way to meet Caroline again, although he didn't want his siblings to know about his newfound interest, especially Elijah.

"Where've you been?" Rebekah demanded to know as she looked away from the mirror in the hallway.

"Out." Klaus said pushing past her and into the parlor.

"Let's have a family meeting, shall we?" Klaus added gesturing into the parlor for his sister to come along. Rebekah narrowed her eyes at him and then followed begrudgingly.

"Where's Kol?" Klaus asked seeing Elijah in the parlor reading a novel.

"Out with the locals I'd assume." Elijah said turning the page of his book.

"The locals? What locals would hang out with him and not be scared off?" Rebekah said rolling her eyes.

"Ladies of the night I presume. He mentioned he'd found a nice brothel outside of the town limits." Elijah said with disdain.

"Typical Kol." Klaus said rolling his eyes.

"What is so typical of Kol?" a voice demanded to know behind them.

"We were wondering where you were deer brother." Rebekah said glancing towards Kol in the doorway.

"Jealous are we, sister? That I found a lady and you have yet to find a man to tempt your interest." Kol said sauntering into the room and collapsing beside Rebekah.

"Not a chance." Rebekah said rolling her eyes and moving away from him.

"Jealousy is unbecoming, Bekah." Kol said laughing.

"K—" Rebekah began but was cut off by Klaus silencing them.

"We need to figure out how to lure Katarina out of hiding." Klaus said glaring at his siblings save for Elijah.

"I was thinking we could have a ball. I met a lovely girl in town a few days ago whom I can assure you probably knows all of the people in town. I think she could be of great use to us." Rebekah said proud that she had more information than her brothers.

"A ball? That is your grand plan?" Kol asked snorting.

"Rebekah we want to keep a low profile, we don't want to be inviting the entire town to know we're here." Elijah said picking imaginary lint off his trousers.

"Really! It's a good plan! Make friends with the girl, find out what she knows, and we probably will find Katarina! I mean, she's a local and one of the founding family members of the town! I bet her family knows a bunch." Rebekah argued.

"How do you know she's a founding member? Did she tell you this?" Kol asked laughing at his sister.

"No but—" Rebekah argued.

"I think we should go to this brothel and come up with a different plan! So many lovely girls there! The large amount of ladies and alcohol will jog our brains and we'll come up with a brilliant plan! One with lots of blood and woman." Kol said excitedly.

"Blood, alcohol and woman? That's your plan? Are you being serious, Kol?" Rebekah asked annoyed.

"I think we should just quietly search the town. Don't alert anyone to our presence and don't get to know the locals, just in and out." Elijah said nodding liking his plan.

"Terrible! The locals are the best part!" Kol whined.

"Both of your plans are—" Rebekah began but was cut off by Klaus yelling.

"Quiet! Everyone! Quiet! All of your plans are bleeding awful! Bloody hell! Here's what we are going to do, Rebekah you are going to spend time with your new friend. I don't care how, shopping, tea time and invite to dinner I don't bleeding care! Kol stop going to brothels! It's wasting time. Get to know the locals, learn what social events and the lot are coming up! Elijah please make sure we get an invite to these despite Kol's desire to mess this entire plan up. I will be going to check in with the vampires I have posted outside town to make sure Katarina doesn't escape. Ok? Questions. Good." Klaus said standing up and leaving the room his family staring after him.

He shook his head irritated about having to deal with his bickering family. He was even more irritated that it seemed like he would be leaving town for a day so he could catch up with his underlings. He'd prefer to stay in town to woo Caroline, but he figured once he set his sister on her she'd come back with some good information and he could use it to his benefit. Then he could bed her and move on to killing Katarina. It seemed like an easy enough plan. He just hoped his annoying family members didn't screw anything up.

Rebekah hoped that Caroline was in town the next day. She had thought about how she could approach Caroline all night, but had yet to come up with a good enough plan. She finally decided that she'd just go to the same store and hope. Rebekah got to the store around the same time as the first time they met and she nearly let out a shriek of excitement when she saw Caroline in there talking to the woman behind the counter.

"…same shade of blue?" Caroline was asking as Rebekah came in.

"I'm sorry, Miss Salvatore we won't get another shipment for a few weeks." The woman said apologetically.

Caroline nodded frowning and turned away bumping into Rebekah.

"Oh! Sorry!" Caroline said apologetically and then seeing Rebekah she smiled.

"Hello!" Caroline said happily.

"Hello." Rebekah said just as happily but for an entirely different reason.

"How do you do today?" Caroline asked moving away from the counter so they wouldn't block it.

"Not that well actually." Rebekah said putting on a sad face.

"Would you like to talk about it?" Caroline asked tilting her head and studying the other blonde's face.

Rebekah frowned, "are you sure? You seem busy." Rebekah said.

"I'm not…I ruined my dress the other night and I was trying to find material to fix it. They're all out." Caroline said scowling as they left the store.

"Ruined it? How? That was such a nice shade too!" Rebekah said thinking of the lovely material Caroline had gotten the other day.

"I know…I got lost in the woods" Caroline said shaking her head and admitting to Rebekah her folly.

"Lost?" Rebekah asked with a smirk.

Caroline nodded embarrassed, "Yes but then—I'm sorry! You are having a bad day! Come on I know just what will cheer you up!" Caroline said taking Rebekah by the arm and leading her across the street to a bakery.

Rebekah smiled to herself when she saw the place. They stepped inside the nearly empty bakery. She closed her eyes allowing herself to breath deeply the variety of delicious baked smells.

"Let's sit and you can tell me about it." Caroline said going to a table in the corner.

"I'm sure you find this a bit odd, I don't generally pour my problems to strangers—" Rebekah began.

"I'm not a stranger though! We met the other day! Rebekah, I remember." Caroline said happily.

"Yes, but you must think it's odd!" Rebekah cried surprised at how well Caroline had taken to her.

Caroline shrugged, "honestly not really. Firstly I live in a small town! Everyone is really friendly here and so if we have a problem we feel inclined to talk about it to one another. And secondly this might come as a shock to you but the only friend I have of the girl variety is my maid…I'm surrounded by men and it's awful. Sometimes you need a little female tête-à-tête time." Caroline said forlornly.

"I know how that is." Rebekah said her mind drifting to her brothers.

The two smiled at one another Caroline waiting for her to go on and Rebekah finally finding the companion she always wanted. Granted Nik made her go and find Caroline to gain information, but she didn't mind in the least. Caroline was the first uncompelled friend she'd ever had or at least since she'd become a vampire. She didn't feel forced talking to Caroline as a matter of fact she was excited. It didn't feel like a plan anymore, it felt natural.

"So what's going on?" Caroline asked as one of the women who worked there came over to give them a tea pot, some cups, and some biscuits. Caroline smiled at her and then asked for milk before pouring two cups.

"It's just really hard here…being here…I miss my friends." Rebekah said quietly. It was true. She missed friends. Period.

"And my brothers are being overly obnoxious. I like it here, but it's just…difficult." Rebekah said thinking of Nik and his demands, Kol and his womanizing, and Elijah and his withdrawn behavior especially since Katarina.

"I know what you mean. What about Meredith though? Aren't you two close?" Caroline said thinking of her own brothers and their obsession with Katherine.

The woman came back over with milk and they doctored their tea.

"Meredith? Oh…no…we aren't...not really close." Rebekah paused to sip her tea and then cleared her throat having forgotten about the Fell daughter. "It's also hard because I don't have any friends here and the post takes forever." Rebekah said getting back to the original topic.

"Well if it makes you feel any better you have me. We can be friends." Caroline said smiling sincerely at her.

Rebekah felt her heart soar and she nodded trying to hold back her excitement.

"That would be nice." Rebekah said.

"Good. Now! I must tell you of what happened the other night to me. I met a man." Caroline said happily.

"A man? Is he a local?" Rebekah asked taking a biscuit.

"No he's—" Caroline began but was interrupted by Mr. Donovon coming into the bakery.

"Caroline, how do you do today?" Matt asked coming over to the two blondes. He looked at Rebekah with a big smile and for the first time since she died Rebekah felt her heart flutter as Matt's beautiful bright blue eyes met hers. She was glad she was dead or she'd be bright red.

"I'm fantastic! Mr. Donovon how do you do?" Caroline asked smiling at him and then looking over at Rebekah who was busying herself with more tea.

"Mr. Donovon this is my friend, Rebekah Mikaelson. She's new to town." Caroline said happily introducing them. She could feel a plan coming on, but she wasn't sure if she could properly execute it since she wasn't sure of Rebekah's social status.

"Hello, Mrs. Mikaelson." Mr. Donovon said taking her hand in his and kissing the skin.

Rebekah nearly died again from the gracious gesture. "Miss. It's just Miss." Rebekah mumbled barely audible in the almost silent bakery.

Matt smiled happily at that and then turned to Caroline nearly forgetting about her.

"What are you two ladies up to today?" Matt asked.

"Having tea and then possibly a walk if Rebekah was up for it." Caroline said smiling at Rebekah encouragingly.

"I figured I could show her around our little town." Caroline added as Rebekah continued to gaze upon Matt as if he was a Greek God.

"I see I just stopped in to say hi, but I'll let you get back to it. Goodbye Ms. Salvatore and Ms. Mikaelson I hope I see you soon, perhaps at the Founders day ball, although that would be too far." Matt said with a smile and a bow before leaving the bakery.

Rebekah watched him go and then slowly turned back to Caroline.

"You have some drool on your chin, Bekah." Caroline said with a laugh.

Rebekah looked at her surprised at Caroline's nickname for her and then she joined in, feeling for the first time in a long time like she belonged.

Once they'd quieted down Rebekah asked Caroline who he was to her. She dreaded the answer but wanted to know now instead of later on.

"My tutor." Caroline said simply eyeing her over the rim of her teacup. "But he's really nice! He's sorta my friend and he's kind of lonely too…" Caroline said hinting.

Rebekah nodded not wanting to give away her feelings, but Caroline could tell anyway. She knew the look in Rebekah's eyes.

"He's very smart. He lives on the outskirts of town with his sister Victoria. She's not so nice, she's kinda trampy honestly. Well let me amend she is the town tramp. But he takes care of her and I think that's admirable." Caroline said smiling as she saw Rebekah mull over her words.

"What else can you tell me?" Rebekah asked eagerly.

Caroline grinned and began to tell Rebekah all about Matt Donovon. They spent a majority of the day in the bakery and as it became dark the two blondes had to depart. Caroline hurried home and Rebekah leisurely walked back to the Fell mansion.

Rebekah arrived back home as dusk was setting and as she walked through the door her brother's quickly followed her inside.

"Where have you been?" Rebekah asked.

"In town." Kol said with a smirk as Elijah came in as well.

"In town? I was in town how come I didn't see you?" Rebekah asked confused.

"Probably because you sat in that bloody bakery for hours with that sexy blonde. Tell me, was she as beautiful from far away as she is up close? You two seemed intimate." Kol asked wiggling his eyebrows.

"Enough Kol." Klaus snapped coming out of one of the many rooms of the mansion and joining his siblings.

"Parlor." Elijah said gesturing to the room.

The four siblings went into the room and took a seat each waiting to begin speaking.

"Well Elijah and I found out some top secret social events!" Kol gushed excitedly.

"I want to go first! I found out good things too!" Rebekah said hotly.

"Elders first, Bekah." Kol said smirking.

Rebekah glared at him and crossed her arms.

"Anyway, before I was so rudely interrupted. We have been invited to a few social events!" Kol said rubbing his hands excitedly.

"So in a weeks time or so there is the Founder's Day Ball or something of the like. And tomorrow night there is a dinner part over at the Mayor's to celebrate their son's birthday. We also have been invited to the Gilbert's for a welcome gathering dinner as well and there are a few other parties and such we've been invited to as well, but the big ones are those three. Apparently they are all founding families. I think we should go to the Mayor's party tomorrow and then the Gilbert's in a few days time and then finish off with the Ball, I'm sure by then we'll have found the bitch." Kol said happily.

"Don't call her that." Elijah said automatically.

Everyone turned to look at him.

"What did you find out Rebekah?" Klaus asked eyeing his brother.

"I just found out gossip about the townspeople. I also got invited to have a tour of the town with Caroline tomorrow." Rebekah said happily.

"Who's Caroline? The tasty little creature you were with earlier?" Kol asked licking his lips.

"Kol!" Klaus growled.

Kol put his hands up in mock surrender.

"Anyway, I'm invited to spend time with Caroline tomorrow so I'll find out more before this birthday party I suppose." Rebekah said.

"But what did you find out now?" Klaus asked anxiously.

Rebekah shrugged not catching on to his mood.

"Not much. We mostly talked about the townspeople. Who is involved with who. Who is having an affair with who. Who is broke. Usual small town stuff. She's really nice though. I like her. She's such a kind person. Lonely, but kind." Rebekah said thinking of her new friend.

"Sounds like you two will get along." Kol said laughing.

"What else?" Klaus asked wanting details.

"I don't know! She lives with her brothers. She feels like she doesn't fit in. She talks to her maid mostly. She's lonely I can tell. She doesn't have many friends. She likes horses." Rebekah said rattling off everything she knew about Caroline.

"Sounds like her and Nik should get along too." Kol said standing up and stretching.

"I'm going to eat. Elijah care to join?" Kol asked turning to his eldest not daggered brother. Elijah nodded watching Klaus carefully. Once they were gone Klaus turned back to Rebekah.

"So what did else did you learn about C—I mean what else did you learn?" Klaus asked almost slipping up.

Rebekah narrowed her eyes at him, "I don't know. I talked to her about her life. Small town stuff. There are a lot of parties here we should find Katarina easily. Also I'm going to see her tomorrow so I guess I'll find out more then." Rebekah said giving him an odd look.

"I'm going to bed." She said confused by her brother's actions. She cast him another weird look before leaving the room and letting Klaus alone with his thoughts. Little did she know they went back to the blonde who'd been haunting him all day.
