Chapter 3
Caroline arrived at Elena's and knocked. Elena opened the door surprised that Caroline was knocking but understood because she was with Rebekah.
"Hey Rebekah" she smiled.
"Hi" Rebekah struggled with giving Elena a smile.
"Okay how can I try to be friends with someone who can't even give me a real smile?"
"You give it time Elena, like I am, when you befriend someone you know nothing about them and that's why you give it time to learn and understand each other" Caroline replied.
"But I already know about her" Elena retorted.
"No, you know what you think you know but you don't know the real her" Rebekah kept quiet as Caroline defended her. She felt slightly embarrassed for unknown reasons.
"Did she compel you?" Elena asked.
"A little bit of trust would help you know" Rebekah finally broke her silence.
"Trust, you killed me remember" Elena said accusingly.
"And you must be forgetting that you backstabbed me, literally" Rebekah shot back.
"Okay so now all is fair, now will you please invite her in" Caroline pleaded.
"I can't Jeremy has to do it"
"You tell me that now, is he gone already" Caroline responded.
"No, wait here" she walked back inside and yelled as loud as she could. Jeremy came down the stairs looking annoyed as ever.
"Is it really that hard to want a little peace and quiet?"
"Can you invite Rebekah inside, please?" Jeremy quickly inspected Caroline and Elena's faces for any signs of duress. Noting that everything is okay she invited Rebekah in.
"Thanks Jeremy" she smiled as she walked past. Jeremy went back upstairs to his room.
"Hey Bek" Bonnie said as Rebekah walked in to the living room, "it is okay if I call you Bek right."
"Its fine," she walked to the couch and made herself comfortable.
"Okay the guys don't want to come because Caroline picked chick flicks." Bonnie told them.
"What? That is not fair, I sat through all their fighting movies and all the crap and they can't sit through a couple of chick flicks" Caroline let out a sigh.
"Who cares about them, let's have fun tonight and forget boys exist" Elena added.
Rebekah just watched the girls get all giddy about silly stuff. Is this what girls do during girl's day in or night in. "Is this what you guys really do all the time?" she asked looking confused.
"Well there really is nothing else to do in tiny mystic falls" Elena replied. "Okay since the boys aren't coming, let's do something else then watch movies tonight if you are okay with staying Rebekah"
Rebekah nodded and gave a small smile. "Let's play marry, sex, kill but we only do celebrities" Caroline suggested.
"Yeah that seems like fun" Elena chuckled, "I'll start, Matthew Mcconaughey, Robert Downey Jr and George Clooney.
Everyone thought their answers. They had a laptop to search other people if they didn't know them. Rebekah looked through the pictured and was less than impressed.
Caroline: Marry Robert, have sex with Matthew and kill George.
Bonnie: this is so hard, marry Matthew, have sex with Robert and kill George
Rebekah: Marry George, have sex with Robert and kill Matthew.
"Okay my turn" Caroline sat up straight, "Ben Barnes, Alex Pettyfer and Johnny Depp."
"Who is Ben Barnes?" Elena asked and she wasn't the only one who was in the dark.
"What! You guys have not seen pure hotness" she googled his pictures and showed the rest of the girls. They all gasped even Rebekah who is usually picky.
Elena: Marry Alex, have sex with Ben and kill Johnny
Bonnie: Marry Ben, have sex with both Alex and Johnny.
Rebekah: Marry Ben have sex with Alex and kill Johnny.
They continued playing their game and Rebekah found herself enjoying. Caroline smiled at Rebekah proud that her friends had decided to give her a chance and also that Rebekah was actually keeping an open mind. "Okay, I know what will be fun, let's play just dance" Caroline squealed.
"I'll go get my Wii" Elena left the room to go get her game console. She came back down shortly and she connected everything and gave the girls their controllers.
Rebekah looked puzzled not knowing what to do. "Here," Caroline fastened the controller on Rebekah's right hand, "Now all you do is just follow the moves on the screen and at the end we see who has the highest score"
"What is the point of all this?"
"To see who gets the highest points and to just have fun" Caroline replied.
They moved the table and they started playing.
After sitting in his study for a while, Klaus left and went to the grill. He found Stefan and Damon chatting with Matt.
"What brings you here?" Damon smirked.
"Sheer boredom mate" Klaus replied. He walked over to the bar and ordered a drink. "What are you lot doing here?"
"Well the girls wanted us to watch chick flicks but we bailed, I have a feeling Caroline is not pleased" Stefan replied
"I feel kind of bad, we've forced them to sit through our movies" Matt admitted.
"They'll get over it" Damon smirked.
Klaus joined the other guys for a drink. This was the first time they had done anything together without secretly plotting some wicked plans. He was not in a cheery mood to argue with anyone.
"We should probably go, Caroline will give us hell for this" Matt told them.
"Relax, she will get over it, they all will" Damon replied.
"You guys stay here I'm going to go and just sit through whatever movie they are watching" Matt got up getting ready to go.
"Wait, I'll come with you" Stephan gulped down the last of his drink and followed Matt.
Damon seized up his situation. Either stay here with Klaus or sit through chick flicks. He got up and followed his brother. Before reaching the door he turned back to look at Klaus who looked miserable than ever, "Care to join us" he asked in his playful Damon way.
Klaus did not say anything but followed the rest. They all walked silently when they reached Elena's house and all they could hear was loud music blasting through the windows.
"Okay in that case I'm willing to endure whatever they hold against us" Matt said chuckling.
"How about we just go in and watch them dance" Damon suggested "It paints a lovely picture in my head"
"Yeah that would be fun until they force us to start dancing" Stefan chuckled, "I think I might actually go back to the grill."
"In that case I'm going for a drink." Klaus broke his silence and started walking off. Damon followed him and they both left. Matt and Stefan went back home.
"So what movie are we watching" Rebekah asked
"How to lose a guy in ten days" Caroline replied. She had seen the movie a lot of times now but never got bored of it. Elena and Bonnie had now gotten used to Caroline repeating movies so they never said anything. They watched the movie quietly and laughing at times. After watching all their movies, the girls had fallen asleep in the lounge.
"So what made you come along" Damon broke the silence walking next to Klaus "I figured you'd be cooking something evil up in that head of yours"
"It would have been rude to refuse your invitation" Klaus replied.
"Since when did the big bad hybrid chose to become moral?"
"I wouldn't really call it moral"
"So you were up to something, what do you want Klaus?" Damon stopped and looked at Klaus. "Ok let's get something straight if you hurt Caroline in any way, original or not I will make you regret ever becoming a vampire"
"You threatening me is not really earning you points in my favour because I could just kill you right here right now"
"I figured if you were going to kill me you would have done so, but one certain blonde vampire has got you scared to kill anyone else she cares about because you know she will never forgive you" Damon shot back, staring daggers at Klaus. Klaus did not back down from the stare down.
"I would watch your tone if you value your life"
"Again with the threats, its getting old, stop pretending to be the biggest badass around here, let loose, live a little, step away from the dark side and maybe Blondie might consider giving you a chance."
"Need I remind you I am the biggest badass around here?"
"Wishful thinking, you might be the strongest being in the world but your brother on the other hand, hybrid or not he is the biggest badass around here, it would have been Alaric if he was still alive, but seriously stop with the threats, that won't get you any friends" Damon started walking away.
"I always have my family" Damon turned around to look at Klaus who was still in the same spot.
"The ones you are constantly daggering, unlike them we actually try to connect with people"
Klaus sped to where Damon stood and landed a perfect chokehold on him. "I told you to watch how you talk to me" Damon began fighting for his breath when Klaus suddenly stepped back. Damon regained his balance and saw Elijah holding Klaus' neck.
"Forgive my brother Damon" Elijah apologised and released his hold on Klaus. Damon sped away and left the two brothers alone.
"If you plan on getting into Caroline's good graces then you should take Damon's advice brother" Elijah told Klaus.
"And why would I do that"
"Niklaus would it really kill you to just try for once, I don't see why you have to continue to strike fear among everyone, they know you are strong but threatening them won't do you any good, relax, have fun, now that you can't make any more hybrids And you don't want to leave town so just try to be civil with everyone"
"Elijah if you don't mind I would like to return home without everyone annoying me" with that he sped away. Elijah sighed and followed.
