What are we?
PFBA
It had been one week, exactly. Katherine had developed morning sickness. She was now practically carrying around a bucket. Over the last week, Kol and Rebekah had joined Caroline and Katherine's little circle of friends. They were all attempting to give Katherine and Caroline the ability to avoid Klaus and Elijah. It was now one of the few times Katherine was depending on her friends to help her through. Dinner time.
"So Katerina. How is the baby lately?" Elijah asked sweetly while everyone sat around the table.
"In the womb. Not much it can do in there. Though I haven't asked I'd prefer to wait till it develops lips and vocal cords. Not an expert on kids but I doubt it can talk at the moment even if it's removed." Katherine replied in her usual snarky voice.
"She is sorry. Hormones." Caroline said, looking at Katherine angrily.
"Not sorry." Katherine said loudly.
"This is delicious." Rebekah said, cutting in.
"Bekah! I was watching the show!" Kol complained. Katherine scoffed.
"Hey! You're my friend and friends HELP friends. Like how Bekah was steering the conversation away from me. Maybe I'll Have care bear call up that witch. What was her name? Bunny….. Bonbon….Bonnie….was it?" Katherine stuttered in thought.
"Katherine…." Kol started, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth. Everyone watched in curiosity as this went down. Katherine simply lifted her head and wore a look of triumph.
"Okay. Fine." Katherine said. Her look of triumph still standing.
"This is delicious." Rebekah repeated after a moment of silence awkwardly.
"Yes sister. It is. More blood anyone?" Klaus asked holding up his glass. And standing.
"Yes please!" Katherine said, handing him her glass. She tried to ignore the weird looks.
"What? You got a problem I'm eating for two." Katherine stated towards Kol. Kol held his hands up in surrender, a face of fear on his face.
"Kat. Leave him alone. If he ditches us then we have to contour Elijah's face. And he is way too uptight to rock a contour. Come on now. Let's go contour Kol's face and see if we can make his features more chiseled. Bekah." Caroline said. She gave Rebekah a nod and Rebekah stood up.
"I don't know, I mean you must not know Elijah if you think he is THAT up tight." Katherine said with a shrug. Rebekah covered up her mouth.
"Gross!" She all but screamed. Katherine laughed, but then stopped, staring at Kol intently.
"Oh my gosh! Is that a pimple!?" Katherine shrieked. Caroline ran up to her.
"Can vampires even get pimples?" Caroline asked, staring with a disgusted look. Rebekah came up next.
"Ew…." She said.
"Alright. I'll get the chainsaw, Bex, Get the sledge hammer, Care bear, get the biggest garbage bag you can find." Katherine said.
"Or we could just powder it?" Rebekah suggested.
"Good point. Kol, Come on. We only have an eternity to powder your zit." Katherine said.
"What? I think I can powder my own zit! I am 1,000years old after all! I probably know more than you!" Kol accused. Each girl gasped.
"Kol. You may know a tip or two about facial contour but you do NOT know the Katherine pierce contour. Kat makes her face is chiseled. She refuses to teach me." Caroline complained. Katherine flipped her hair back.
"What can I say? It is a sacred art that I learned through hard work. I can't tell you until I know for certain you won't go blabbing to Elena and Bonnie. Especially not Elena." Katherine explained. Elijah was still silently watching them from the dinner table, When Klaus walked in.
"Why do you hate Elena so much?" Caroline asked. The room went so silent you could hear a pin drop. It was as if time stopped. Klaus stood still, not even moving, Kol and Rebekah stopped arguing, and Elijah remained silent. Katherine moved her eyes in a gesture towards the Mikealson's, before taking out her phone. She saw how everyone was staring and looked around.
"Do you mind?" She asked crabbily. Everyone up what they were doing, the little Mikealson's argued again, the older Mikealson's watched the drama unfold.
'She tried to steal MY life! First Stefan and Damon, Which I could care less about those numb rods but then she just HAD to go and carry on with Elijah to!' Katherine typed, her eyes glazed. Caroline looked up, startled. Katherine gave her a The-truth-hurts look.
'What?' Caroline typed, saddened.
'She didn't tell you about her little 'adventures' with Elijah? Yah well this kid could be hers. Congratulations Elijah the disgusting man-Whore. Successfully seducing and bedding three Petrova doppelgangers who knows what would have happened if we introduced him to Amara!' Katherine typed angrily. Rebekah and Kol had now come to stand over them, reading the texts. They each let out a laugh.
"Strumpet." Rebekah muttered.
"That bloody wanker." Kol said.
"What are you two talking about?" Klaus asked. The younger Mikealson's opened their mouths but one glare from Katherine sent them back to their places.
"My Carbon copy." Katherine replied. Caroline's eyes were glazed over. Katherine rolled her eyes. She faced her friend and hugged her. Elijah watched the simple interaction, eyes bulging. It was a normal thing people did, but hugging was not normal, under any circumstances for Katherine pierce.
"Sorry." Katherine whispered to her. Caroline nodded, a tear rolled down her cheek. Klaus felt the anger boiling inside of him. He clenched his fists to keep from killing Katerina. If he killed her, Caroline would never forgive him. He was doing okay until she walked up to him.
"Klausy. You're sunshine is having a rainy day." Katherine stated. She leaned toward him, cupping her hand near his ear and whispering.
"If you want to be the gentle man and get extra brownie points, don't let your baby bro take her up! Stand up for yourself and YOU grab her and YOU take her up and finally YOU tuck her in without getting to grabby." Katherine explained. Klaus's eyes widened like he had seen the sun for the first time and then he rushed off to his princess.
"Mangy maggot." Katherine mumbled. Elijah was so amused at her antics he approached her slowly, interrupting her conversation with Kol about someone named…. Klaroline?
"Katerina! May I speak with you for a minute?" Elijah asked. Katherine knew she didn't have a choice. It was a 'yes' only question. So. She swallowed her long living pride and nodded.
"Sure." Katherine said with clearly false enthusiasm. She followed him out of the dining room and into the parlor.
"Katerina. What made Miss Forbes so upset?" Elijah asked. He was pulling off the Just-concerned-for-Caroline thing pretty well.
"Nothing much you need to know. Just girly stuff. You know." Katherine shrugged. Oh she was going to ride this one out till he got antsy. She was really getting excited, but to her surprise Elijah gave calming sigh and nodded.
"Very well." He said. He was clearly not done grilling her. Before they could talk further about them there was a knock at the door. Caroline yelled that she would get it so they each sighed back. They were awoken from their state of peace when Caroline screamed. Everyone in the house ran forward. They once again, calmed when they saw her throwing her arms around Stefan and Bonnie, fixing Elena and Damon with and award winning glare. She would be interrogated later by Rebekah, Kol, Katherine, and Klaus. Klaus on his own time. Katherine was the first to break the silence.
"What are they doing here? "She asked, smiling at everyone and joining Caroline in fixing Elena with a glare.
"I don't know… Hay what are you doing here? And how in the world did you find me?" Caroline asked, fixing them with confused looks.
"We came to make sure your safe and to bring you home, where you belong." Bonnie elaborated. Elena came running at her, throwing her arms around her.
"I'm so happy your okay, Care." Elena breathed. Caroline stood numb. After a second of unresponsive, Elena got the message and released.
"I'm not going home." Caroline stated.
"What are you doing here, Care?" Stefan asked.
"I'm here with my good friend Katherine supporting her throughout her pregnancy with Elijah's child. I'm also making friends here with Kol and Rebekah." Caroline explained, not missing a beat and showing no emotion and no signs of backing down. Damon cracked his knuckles.
Listen Blondie. I don't know what kind of Barbie world you are living in but Katherine is our enemy. You are not allowed to befriend her now Elena's life is in danger so you are going to come back with us if I have to carry you the whole way." Damon said, resting his hands firmly on her shoulders. Klaus stepped up but Katherine put her hand on his arm and whispered something about 'Caroline not being helpless' to him. He stepped back, knowing Kol, Rebekah, and Elijah would support the future mother over him because she had 'precious cargo'.
"What do you even need me for? Klaus isn't there. I dot need to play distraction." Caroline stated, glaring.
"We always need live bait." Damon said.
"Get your hands off me scum bag." Caroline said, gritting her teeth.
"Why? You-"Damon started but Katherine had him on the ground.
"She said let her go. She is not one of your play things and if I see you so much as lay one finger or make one dirty joke about her you will regret it." Katherine barked, Even surprising herself at the emotion she showed. Caroline gave her a grateful smile, which Katherine returned.
"Can we have a moment alone?" Caroline asked, gesturing for Klaus and Elijah to leave. They gave a brief nod, and in a flash they were gone.
"Care, why are you with HER? After everything she did to me?" Elena asked, giving Katherine a look of disgust which the elder vampire quickly returned.
"Oh get over yourself! Not everyone revolves around Elena! In fact… which Salvatore is it now? Stefan or Damon?" Caroline asked in a Katherine way. The mystic falls gang just stood gawking.
"Damon." Elena mumbled.
"What is your problem, Care!?" Bonnie asked in a judgey voice.
"That strumpet there is!" Rebekah said for her.
"Alright. What decision did Elena make this time?" Damon asked, stepping in.
"Just tell me the truth, Elena for once! Did you seriously sell your body to Elijah just so he wouldn't kill us?" Caroline asked.
"Care, What… How did you…." Elena stuttered over subject changers, but one look from the group made her look down in shame.
"I had to convince him I loved him. Otherwise he wouldn't have been so kind and wouldn't have kept the bargain so kindly like he did." Elena said; looking down, ready to grovel.
"But Elena, you ad Stefan were-"Bonnie said, her judgmental looks pointed at Elena for once.
"Elena. Go away. I don't ever want to see your face again, well unless it's on another more trustworthy doppelganger. At this point I'd rather be human when Damon Came to town again then has to see you for one more day." Caroline said blankly. Elena looked like she was going to fight but just teared up, running to the car. Damon stepped forward.
"See what you did, Blondie! Now Elena is upset" Damon said angrily. He positioned himself to shove her but a few glances around the room put him back in place, so he just ran after Elena.
"I know it's a stupid question now, you're probably going home but, are you staying?" Caroline asked, wincing t her own question. Her friends softened and nodded.
"If the offer is open, we can stay." Stefan said. Caroline smiled, looking at Katherine with pleading eyes. Katherine looked them over. Bonnie's eyes weren't judging, but neutral for once. Guess she was making an effort for Caroline. Finally Katherine gave a dramatic sigh.
"Fine. I'll talk to 'Lijah!" Katherine said in exasperation. Caroline clapped excitedly, jumping up and down. She gave Katherine a big hug, which wasn't lightly returned but returned double sized. Katherine excused herself to go to the room with the elder originals.
"Hi. I was wondering on behalf or for Caroline completely. Would it be too much trouble to fix up two rooms from this castle for Care bears friends Bon Bon and steffy to stay?" Katherine asked, batting her eyes. Elijah chuckled.
"Well. We would be more open to the idea if these two lovely ladies would give us the time of day…" Elijah said, playing along.
"Hm. Love to meet them." Katherine fired back.
"Ok. They can stay." Klaus nodded. Walking out ruining the games.
PFBA
There was a brisk knocking on the door then Katherine stormed in, followed by Kol and Rebekah. The three old friends looked up, startled.
"Hey Judgey, White knight, Got to barrow Care bear for an interrogation." Katherine said easily, pulling Caroline up and dragging her as she stumbled out, fighting to regain her balance.
"What guys!" Caroline asked once she was thrown in her and Katherine's room.
"I think you know what, Care." Katherine said, giving Caroline a nod.
"Caroline, what exactly was that between you and Damon. I know he's mean and all…. But that was a bit far, not even giving him the time of day and he tried to imply something." Rebekah explained, putting her hand gently on Caroline's shoulder.
"Caroline. What happened?" Rebekah asked seriously.
"He- He-…." Caroline tried moving her lips, but no sound came out. Her voice was going flat with tears, forcing through. No. She had done enough crying today. She pushed the emotions and tears back down where they came from and faced the music.
"When I was human. When Damon and Stefan came to town, I was hitting on Stefan like crazy because, well. He was 'fresh meat' as I dubbed the new boys." Caroline said, scoffing at the memory.
"I went to the mystic grill one night. I was a bit upset because every guy I like chooses her over me always! I was just so angry with her. And then I saw him. Stefan became not a problem because HE was there. We talked a bit at the grill, and then we parted ways. A little later, like about the next day I was with Bon, and I was fuming about how stupid I was I didn't get his number. Then one night I saw him again.
Flash back
Caroline strutted out of the mystic grill like a queen. She was walking back to her car. Before she reached her ar, she heard a whisper. She looked around frightened but continued walking, looking around her as she walked. Right in front of her car, she dropped her keys. 'Great, Just my luck.' She thought. She picked up her keys and rose slowly. When she was up she heard a banging sound and whipped around. Seeing nothing of importance, she sighed, closing her eyes and brushing her hair out of her face. When she turned back to her car, she was frightened, seeing someone standing there. She once again sighed, seeing it was only him. He put a hand to her heart to calm down. A smirk rose in his face.
"Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you." He said, tilting his head to the side menacingly. Caroline shook her head, giving a choked laugh.
"No it's… Fine…Uh… I was hoping I would see you again." Caroline stated, her voice softening.
"I know." He said. Caroline smiled, tilting her head.
"Cocky much?" She asked, crossing her arms.
"Very much." He corrected. Caroline blushed, sending another smile. Next thing she knew, they were at his apartment, he was kissing her. He then sat up. She looked at him, fear kicking in at the sight she saw. He had a face like none other. The face of a killer. He then bit into her neck. She let out another scream, just like the horror movies.
Caroline awoke with a gasp, sitting up quickly. She remembered the dream she had last night, she fearfully brought her hand to her neck. She felt it. The red, sticky substance. Blood. Her heart rate increased. She looked next to her and saw him again. Sleeping like a baby. She grew in fear. His face was… different last night. She flipped her leg over the bed, not making a noise, and then another, she stood up soundlessly, hoping he slept, she crept to the door. She was half way there when SQUEAK! A floor board squeaked. She worried, but then diligently continued her task. She reached the door, and calmly twisted the doorknob, barely squeaking. This time, when she glanced at the bed, he was gone. She freaked out again. She looked next to her and saw him.
"Morning." He said with a head twist. She backed away, breathing heavily.
"Okay. Don't." She pleaded, shaking her head. She grabbed the lamp.
"Don't do that" He warned. But she had already grabbed the lamp and smacked him across the face with it. Hard. His face brushed to the side. She dropped the lamp and sprinted across the room, grabbing another object and throwing. He ducked, and when she ran to leave he grabbed her and threw her on the bed.
"Get away from me!" She screamed, throwing a pillow at him. He easily caught it. "No!" She panted. He raised his eyebrows.
"This could have gone a completely different way." Damon stated with a smile. He smelled the bloody pillow, his vampire face returning. He threw the pillow aside and went for her.
End of flash back
By now, Caroline was in tears. She had told her story, every detail. Instead of his usual smirk, even Kol looked sympathetic.
"Care…" Katherine said, holding her friends hands.
"He-he made me do things. Things I didn't want to do." Caroline breathed out.
"Can I kill him? Or torture him?" Kol asked. Carline briskly shook her head.
"No. then they all will hate me." Caroline cried.
"Did… did they KNOW, Care?" Katherine asked, implying her friends. Caroline nodded slowly.
"They did. Elena and Stefan knew, at least. Bonnie found out. All Elena did was give mea Vervain necklace. A stupid necklace! And after he tortured me and tried to kill me supposedly Klaus kills her once and he's evil." Caroline rolled her eyes.
"I am so sorry." Rebekah spoke up, hugging Caroline. Caroline nodded.
"One night, I was in the ladies room and Elena comes in; it was a public place with stalls. She pulled off my scarf. She saw the scars, the bite scars." Caroline explained. She lifted her shirt to show them. They each looked at the marks, running their fingers over them. While they were still looking at the scars on Caroline, the door burst open to reveal a very angry Klaus with a deadly look. Caroline shrieked, pulling her shirt over her.
"He. Did. WHAT!?" Klaus asked angrily.
"Klaus-"Caroline started with furrowed brows, but was cut off.
"I heard." Was all Klaus said.
"Please. Don't kill them. Bonnie and Stefan will HATE me." Caroline pleaded. Klaus looked confused.
"Even after everything? You're DEFENDING him?" Klaus asked incredulously.
"If I dot then they will hate me! And just because someone wronged you does not mean you can wrong them! If that was true then you would have been killed! And so would Katherine. And then her baby would be gone. Heck if that were true even I would be dead with how I was as a human. And besides. You didn't KNOW me. If you knew me back then you would have done a million times worse." Caroline said looking down. Klaus came up to her and lifted her chin to look at him.
"I would NEVER. Do something like that. At least not to you." He said sincerely. She scoffed. He was eyeing her, deciding what to do, but when Katherine glared he thought again on his Idea to kiss her. He simply wiped a tear from her cheek and walked out. Caroline gave an awkward cough.
"So, I better get back to Bonnie and Stefan." She explained shakily, walking out. Leaving them there to stew in their thoughts.
PFBA
Hey! Yah, so. I had to add Stefan and Bonnie. Klaus now 'knows'. I know. Care didn't have any scars but I just wanted to add that in because she probably could have had scars and it just added a little something extra. I need to make some room in the next chapter for a kennet seen, and a few more Klaroline's. I would also like to have a moment of Stebekah but most importantly KALIJAH! I also know Elena and Elijah didn't ACTUALLY sleep together but for the sake of the story, please pretend. I know, Elena isn't THAT slutty but it kind of makes sense. Convince someone you love them so they spare the people you love. Also. My apologies if there are more klaroline moments then the others. Besides Kalijah. Kalijah is main so there will be infinite kalijah but… you know what I mean I guess. I apologize in advance if there is more klaroline then Stebekah and Kennet. Klaroline comes easier, I don't know why but whatever. I hope you enjoyed! Please leave what gender you want the baby- or babies; D to be and hopefully a few names for the baby/babies! Anyways! Thank you all for reading! Happy Birthday!
