Chapter 15
A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.
Caroline and Klaus walked the streets of New Orleans looking at many different things. He showed her things that she was sure that the tourist's didn't know. Seeing how Klaus was an original and had lived for a thousand years seeing things that many had not seen. The French Quarter she learned had a lot of dark secrets and of course all about the supernatural. Klaus stopped in front the cemetery and she turned to see what he was looking at before he moved forward through the gateway and into the cemetery. Caroline followed till he stopped in front of a tombstone that had an X on it.
"This is a grave of a old friend and witch that I use to know." Caroline looked at it as Klaus continued. "Her name was Marie Laveau. People here knew her as the Queen of Voodoo. She was a powerful witch but she had been a friend to me at one time. She believed in balance and did not judge people. Even vampires and werewolves. She would only judge them for 'who' they were." Caroline raised an eyebrow.
"Did she know who you were," Klaus smirked.
"Well she did and she would have her share disappointment in me. But she did seem to always have some faith in me. Before I left New Orleans she had given me some sacred words to hold onto." He confessed. She glanced at him. He continued but didn't tell her what she had said to him. "Anyway she had been the one to make Mikael, my father leave New Orleans and help keep it stable for another five years before she died. Her daughter had soon stepped up to the test but they were all bound to have the same fate. Using such power also weakens and takes energy from your own body." Caroline looked at the tombstone reading it.
"It doesn't say Marie Laveau," She noticed. Klaus nodded.
"That is the mystery here in New Orleans. But I know where she is buried because she had told me where she would be buried. She had known that she was going to die and had told me in a letter." He pointed to the X and nodded to the others on other tombstones. "Each X is represented to show how much power she had. Or so many witches believed."
"Is that the time you met Marcel?" She asked. Klaus shrugged and turned to her.
"He was a young boy at the time and was a slave. I took him in an raised him like a son really." Caroline stared at him. Klaus had raised him when he was a human boy? She hadn't thought that far back that Klaus and Marcel knew each other. Maybe that's where Marcel had gotten the idea to take Davina in as his own. She couldn't only think that Marcel was a protégée for Klaus. Someone who had been created young but was just as strong as Klaus. She didn't think of it as so much as physically but she could only imagine that mentally Klaus and Marcel had the same type of mind. "I taught him everything, and soon he became a young man and fell in love with my sister." Caroline looked at him. Marcel had been in love with Klaus's sister Rebekah. "I wanted to see how it would play out. I wanted to see what he loved more. Rebekah had fallen in love with him as well. I then asked him if he wanted to be turned or to be with my little sister. But there was a price as well. He had to choose one not both. So he would end up losing the other. He choose to be turned and left Rebekah. He had wanted immortality and power over her. His love wasn't as strong as it had been for the ambitious need of power. I had also wanted to teach my sister a lesson, she has the mistake of falling in love to easily and can be a bit naïve." Klaus admitted.
"So why was Rebekah over at Marcel's two nights ago?" She asked. Klaus raised an eyebrow.
"She was over at his house?" Caroline raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah before everything, Davina had come over because she couldn't take there excessive arguing apparently. Other than that you know the rest of what happened that day." Klaus shrugged.
"Well I would assume that they would be arguing. There is a lot of tension between them and my sister's feelings for him never turned all the way into hate. She is just so bitter and angry about it." Caroline shrugged.
"So what about you? No crazy ex's? She asked. Klaus turned to her with a cocky smile.
"Well love, I can tell you right now that I really haven't been in love with anyone before. I might have shown an interest in someone that could have turned to love but it was a long time ago. What about you love?" She bit her lip remembering a few of her ex's and 'him' who she hated most of all.
"Yeah I have had my fair share of ex's." He raised an eyebrow. "Don't look at me like that, I am not a player or anything. I just am usually second best."
"How can you be second best?"
"Because all the guys seemed to want the one and only Elena Gilbert." She shook her head. "Elena was a girl I knew in high school. She happen to be the object of attention. All the guys wanted her. And when they couldn't have her they looked to me. Second best. I had always been living in her shadow since kindergarten." Klaus shook his head.
"Caroline you are not second best." Klaus said. Caroline rolled her eyes.
"Well I will be once again soon. Everyone has always abandoned me." Klaus was about to ask what she meant by that when his phone rang. Klaus reached down to grab it from his pocket.
"Elijah," He said. Caroline listened to the conversation between Klaus and his older brother.
"Niklaus, it seems there has been a change of plans."
Klaus and Caroline entered his house to find Elijah looking rather worried. Caroline raised an eyebrow wondering what the original was worried about.
"Niklaus, Miss Forbes," Elijah greeted.
"Please Elijah you can call me Caroline," He nodded and folded his hands behind his back respectively and turned to his brother.
"Nikaus, Miss Hayley Williams has gone missing." Caroline froze hearing the name. Why did it sound so familiar? She glanced to Klaus as he just rolled his eyes.
"Your point Elijah?" He asked. Elijah gave his brother a look.
"Niklaus you gave her your word that you would protect her while she was here. And in return she could give you information." Klaus sat down and folded his hands.
"Elijah she has been nothing but a thorn in my side and you want me to find her. I am sure she is fine. That little wolf can get herself out of her own problems just as she had done before." Klaus excused. Elijah glared at his brother while Caroline thought in wonder. Hayley Williams…little wolf. She shook her head. Think Caroline think! Where have you heard that name before.
"Niklaus," Elijah warned. Klaus sighed.
"Fine brother what would you have me do about it?" Klaus asked.
"Track her."
Klaus and Caroline headed in one part of the woods while Elijah headed in the other. They were tracking a shewolf according to Klaus and Elijah. Caroline was still trying to figure out who this wolf girl was and why she seemed so familiar. Klaus and Caroline looked around before hearing screams. They flashed into the clear and looked to see Elijah knock someone over and pick up a frantic screaming girl before flashing off. All Caroline had seen of the girl was brown hair. Caroline's mouth dropped when she saw who now stood in front of her and Klaus. He glanced at her in shock as well but also made a glare at Klaus. Caroline couldn't believe who was standing in front of her after all this time, he was now here in front of her. 'him'.
"Tyler?"
Note: So sorry this took so long. It turns out I might have a broken nose. O_O *Ouch* but no worries I just need to wait for the swelling to go down. Hopefully nothing bad. I really am not sure how it happen but the only thing that I can comprehend is that I got hit with a volleyball. Yeah not fun. I should be trying to update everything else as well. I am already working on the next chapter for this one. Yes I had to add Tyler into the story because in the originals he does show up or make a cross over. And Caroline and Tyler have some history. But don't worry she won't be getting back together. Let's just say sometimes 'love hurts' lol jk and as for Hayley I am only having her in the story because she is on the originals. BUT there will be no KLAYLEY baby. But I have heard on the originals that Elijah and her have been having some romantic feelings for her and perhaps her to him. I am not a big fan on Hayley and I really love Elijah. So what do you guys think of this pairing. I will completely understand if people say that is out of the question. And I tried to make Elijah seem concern for her like a friend just in case there won't be anything between them. So tell me what you think another update will be in a few minutes or so. Reviews thanks.
