Well here's chapter nine. It might be a bit confusing but it will become clearer. You'll see.
Caroline had been walking around the quarter for around twenty minutes She had no idea where she was going, she just knew that she had to find him. Caroline felt a drop of water fall in her left cheek. She turned around and started walking towards the compound as it started to rain harder. People that were walking down the streets were running inside seeking shelter from the rain. She could have done the same. She could've run the rest of the way. But she didn't.
By the time that she arrived home, she was dripping water on the floor. Her clothes clung to her body like static and her hair was drenched.
Caroline entered the living room to find Klaus.
"Klaus." She breathed. He took in her appearance showing no emotion. "Caroline. Don't worry. I won't be here long. Soon I'll be out of your hair for awhile and your life will be much easier." He said.
Caroline's eyebrows furrowed and she frowned. "What are you talking about?" She asked him.
"You are free to return to Mystic Falls. I wanted you stay so I could protect you. However, you no longer need it." He said calmly. His face was stone hard and his hands were behind his back.
"What? No, Klaus. Look I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said. It was just in the heat of the moment. I'm really, really sorry." Caroline stepped forward but he backed away. "Caroline I have to tell you something." Klaus said.
He glanced up at the clock and turned back to her. "So I made a deal." he started.
~28 minutes earlier~
Klaus left Marcel's loft and walked towards Hayley's apartment. He glanced up at the grey sky and sighed. He listened to the thundering rumbling as he walked. It was ironic really. The weather perfectly matching his mood. Soon it would start to pour. However, water wouldn't be the only thing to fall. He reached Hayley's door and knocked. He waited for her to answer. A couple seconds later she did. "Klaus what are you doing here?" She asked him.
Klaus sighed and explained his situation. Hayley nodded her head. "Of course. She's in her room. Thank you." She smiled at him before walking away into the kitchen. Klaus walked into Hope's room and saw her playing with her toys on the floor.
He walked up to her and sat down next to her. She looked up at him with her big blue eyes and smiled. Klaus pulled her into his arms and held her. "Hello little wolf." He whispered. "I need you know something. For awhile you won't see me. But it's not because I don't care or because I don't love you. You need to know that. One day I'll see you again." He kissed her cheek and set her back down.
Klaus looked at her once more before turning around and walking away.
Klaus was walking into Rousseau's. He saw Camille tending the bar and moved towards her. He sat down on the the stool in front of her and waited until she looked up at him. "Klaus. What are you doing here?" She asked him.
"I need to speak to you about something important." He replied. She nodded her head and motioned for him to continue. "We can't see each other any longer." He said.
Camille looked away from him. "This is because of Caroline isn't it?"
Klaus shook his head. "No it's because of me." He said.
Camille scoffed. "Right. Whatever Klaus. Have a great life with her. But we both know it could have been better with me." "I guess I'll never know." he responded.
Klaus got up and walked out of the bar for the last time in God knows how long.
Klaus reached the compound right as it started raining. 12 minutes left.
"Elijah!" He called. "What is it brother?" Asked Elijah as he entered the living room. Klaus told Elijah what happened to him while he was Marcel and he told him about the deal.
Elijah sighed. "You can't do it Klaus. We will figure something else out you don't have to do it. Brother this is the last resort there are other things that we could do. This isn't one."
"Yes I do." He insisted. "But I have plan. "Where is Freya?" He asked Elijah.
"I don't know. I'll call her immediately."
Klaus nodded. "Hurry. We only have ten minutes."
1 minute and 38 seconds later Freya came bursting through the door.
"I'm here. I've brought the grimoire. Klaus stand right here." She positioned Klaus and formed a circle of salt around her.
She began to chant. Klaus felt fire in his veins and then it was over. It lasted seconds.
"It's done." Klaus nodded his head. "Remember you need to wait. You can't do it right away."
Freya and Elijah nodded their heads simultaneously. "Of course brother. Don't worry. We'll see you soon." Elijah said.
Freya pulled Klaus into a quick hug and Elijah nodded his head at him. "Always and Forever seems like an eternity ago." Elijah says. "That's how long it was supposed to last."
He looked at his family one more time. "Goodbye."
Klaus walked down the stairs and waited for the last person he would say goodbye too.
~back to the present~
"So I made a deal. In exactly 2 minutes Marcel will come here and he will stake me. You and my siblings will leave New Orleans. You won't return Caroline. You will leave and if you don't leave willingly, I will compel you." Caroline's jaw dropped.
"What. The. Hell."
So that's chapter nine. I hope you liked it. Anyways chapter ten will be the final chapter of Pacify Her. I got the idea for the end from my friend. I wasn't sure whether or not I should do it but I will.
