I own nothing...
And I actually wasn't as done with this chapter as I thought when I promised a next day update, but I managed to finish in time!
"I love you," Caroline said but Klaus only frowned.
"Don't say that." Klaus said.
"Why not?" Caroline asked.
"Because then you expect me to say it back and when I don't you will leave," Klaus replied. It had happened a couple time over the centuries. If Klaus kept a mistress for more then a couple weeks they expected too much of him.
"You don't need to say it," Caroline said, "I already know you do." Klaus just looked at her.
"I do not," He said and Caroline giggled.
"Do so," Caroline persisted.
"Do not," Klaus shaking his head.
"Yes you do," Caroline said and sat on top of him. "But like I said, you don't need to say it. And I am not going to leave, and nothing will change how I feel about you."
Rebekah ran over and sat next to Klaus taking Caroline's hand. "Sister," She said moving a lock of hair out of Caroline's face. "No, no."
"Why is it...is it taking so long," Caroline said with short breaths.
"I don't know," Klaus said holding her with tears in his eyes and he didn't even bother to wipe away. Caroline took Rebekah's hand and put it in Klaus's.
"Please?" Caroline said, "For me? A dying wish? Be one again please." Rebekah nodded and kissed Caroline's hand. Elijah who was sitting next to them nodded too. "Thank you. Hopefully I get...to...to see my mother again." Caroline said weakly.
"She should be dead by now," Elijah said baffled.
"Do you wish death on her?" Rebekah said to Elijah through her tears.
"Of course not," Elijah said, "I just don't know what is happening."
"I do," A voice from behind them said, one they had not heard in a 1000 years.
"Mother," Rebekah said shocked but did not stand up. Klaus didn't even look at her just continued to hold Caroline who was looking worse by the minute.
"If you are going to kill me do it," Klaus said still not looking at her, "Just go ahead and do it and leave me be."
"You, who have fought so hard to make it so that you cannot be killed give up that easily?" His mother asked, "For one girl?"
"Caroline is the only person who ever loved me," Klaus said as Caroline's eyes drifted shut. "And when she is gone I will be alone." Her body went limp.
"Because that is the thing you fear most my son, being alone," Esther said, "Take the wood out."
"What?" Klaus said finally looking at her.
"Take it out," Esther repeated and Klaus did as she asked. A moment later Caroline gasped life coming back into her.
"What happened?" Caroline asked but everyone was shocked silent.
"You and my son share blood correct?" Esther said and Caroline nodded still weak. "It seems my son turned you into an Original, Caroline."
"What?" Klaus said shocked, "That's not possible."
"It isn't," Esther said, "But you seem to have a habit of doing the impossible." Esther turned back to Caroline, "When you and my son shared your blood you became one. As long as he lives, you will."
"So she is not going to die?" Rebekah asked and Esther nodded.
"Yes daughter," Esther said, "Caroline is going to live, and I am here to put my family back together. Though it seems Caroline might have done that already."
K&C
"I didn't know," Finn said as he was cornered by Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah. They looked like they wanted to tare him limb from limb, "How was I supposed to know that one girl was so important to all of you?" Caroline was in her room resting, but alive.
"You didn't, and that is why I am not sticking a dagger through your heart again," Klaus said, "Or better yet, ripping it out."
"Caroline is as much my family as any of you," Rebekah said, "If you ever..."
"Leave him," Esther said sternly. "It has been a long night, I suggest you get some rest."
"You all have rooms." Klaus told them, "Caroline fixed one up for all of you before Finn killed her." Now Finn felt even worse. The girl obviously cared a lot for their family.
"I have been asleep for a 100 years I don't want to rest," Kol argued.
"Kol," Esther said and he rolled his eyes and made his way up the stairs. Rebekah followed him but instead of going into her room she went into Caroline's.
"Twice you have tried to kill him now," Caroline said from her spot on the bed, "Three times and your out. No more Rebekah."
"Okay, I don't know what I would have done if you had died." Rebekah said coming to lay next to her and Caroline took her hand, "Is my brother going to come kick me out?"
"Yes," A voice from the doorway said, "Goodnight Rebekah."
"Goodnight," Rebekah said and left.
"Dying really tires you out," Caroline said trying to make light of everything.
"Don't joke Caroline," Klaus said. "I never realized how fragile you were."
"Well apparently not anymore," Caroline said, "I got turned into an Original because of kinky sex. What are they odds?" Klaus came and got into bed with her. "I just don't like to think of the fact that your mother knew we shared blood. That meant she had to have seen us."
"I love you," Klaus said suddenly and Caroline looked at him in disbelief.
"C..come again?" Caroline said, "You have never said that to me before."
"There were a lot of firsts tonight my dear," Klaus said, "A vampire got turned into an Original and I finally told you..." The sentence drifted off.
"It is going to take you another 350 years to say it again isn't it?" Caroline said with a giggle,"I love you too," She said and then her eyes drifted closed.
K&C
"You don't care for me very much do you?" Esther asked. She had asked to speak to Caroline the following morning and the two were walking the grounds. Caroline almost seemed tense.
"It was your betrayal that made Klaus an outsider," Caroline said carefully, "You turned your back on him even though it was your mistake that made him who he was. And your final act as his mother wasn't to tell him you loved him, but to curse him. How could you have left him alone like that when Klaus needed his mother more then anyone?"
"You love my son very much," Esther said instead of answering, "He is lucky to have you. For a 1000 years I have watched my family. I have seen how many people my son killed, but I also know that number would be far greater if it wasn't for you."
"I do love him," Caroline said, "And I get really sick of people asking me why so please don't ask." Esther cracked a smile, and now Caroline knew where Klaus got that little smile of his from.
"You have a pure heart Caroline." Esther said, "It comes very easy for you to love, and when you do you do it with your whole heart. My family is lucky to have your love. You are their humanity Caroline."
"I have killed too," Caroline reminded her, "I am not that pure."
"I know," Esther said, "So my son tells me you wanted to throw a party, and what better occasion then our family being reunited after all this time?"
"What kind of party?" Caroline asked.
"I was thinking more of a ball," Esther replied, "Will you help me?"
"Yes," Caroline said nodding, "It sounds fun."
"It will be magical evening," Esther said and they walked in silence for a while.
K&C
Caroline and Rebekah were painting each others nails and the boys were getting their suits and everything ready when Klaus stormed in.
"You went after Elena?" Klaus said stomping over to the girls.
"Really Rebekah?" Caroline said, "Was that necessary?"
"Getting stabbed in the back hurts Caroline." Rebekah said.
"Well get over it," Caroline said and then looked at Klaus, "Your suit is on the bed, you might want to go put it on so we can get it properly fitted."
"Fine," Klaus said obviously not liking it. He didn't even want to go to the party.
"Guess we know who wears the pants in that relationship," Kol commented.
"Go back to staring at yourself," Klaus sneered.
"He is also getting laid tonight and you are not," Caroline reminded Kol blowing on her nails. Rebekah laughed and the other boys cracked a smile. Finn had apologized for almost killing her and found Caroline to be a nice addition to the family.
"Niklaus, come, I want to speak with you," Esther said and Klaus walked over but not without shoving Kol slightly.
"Well I am going to go too," Caroline said getting up, "Are you sure you don't want to come Rebekah?"
"I am not going dress shopping with you and Elena," Rebekah said. "I am offended you even are going. She did kill me."
"Yes, and then you tried to kill her, and you all tried to kill Klaus which would have hurt me," Caroline said getting bored with all the fighting, "We are all alive. So we just need to get over it and enjoy the party."
"Fine," Rebekah said getting up. "Let's go."
K&C
"You are inviting Matt?" Elena said with wide eyes.
"Yes," Rebekah said as she looked in the mirror, "I need a date and he is pretty cute. Nothing to do with you Elena."
"You're not fighting are you?" Caroline called out from the dressing room.
"We are getting along famously," Rebekah said sarcastically and then turned around showing her dress from all angles, "So what do you think?"
"Green looks good on you," Elena said truthfully.
"You should wear that one," Rebekah said pointing to the brown and black dress on the hanger.
"You think?" Elena said looking down once more at the purple dress she was trying on.
"Yes," Rebekah said as Elena took it off the hanger.
"So how do I look?" Caroline said coming out of the dressing room and twirling in the blue dress she was wearing.
"Perfect," Elena said.
"Yes you will be the second most beautiful girl there," Rebekah said and Caroline rolled her eyes.
K&C
"If everyone could gather please," Elijah's voice rang out. "Welcome, thank you for joining us." The entire Original Family in all their glory were standing on the grand staircase looking down at everyone. Caroline had her arm laced threw Klaus's and she smiled down at Elena when she caught her eye. "You know whenever my mother brings our family together like this," Elijah continued, "It is tradition to commence the evening with a dance. Tonight's pick is a centuries old waltz, so if all of you could please join us in the ballroom."
Caroline grinned while Klaus's rolled his eyes. "Come on then," Klaus said, "Let's get this over with."
"I can dance with Elijah if you would prefer to sit this one out," Caroline said and Klaus just held his arm out for her to take again and she did.
"Had to get away huh?" Klaus said coming up to Caroline later. She was standing by the horses and she turned around and smiled at him.
"Just needed some fresh air," Caroline said, "I remember when you told me about your favorite horse, the one your father killed? You said that horse was the only loyal thing to you."
"I remember," Klaus said petting the horse, "And then you swore to always be loyal to me, and to name my next horse Caroline so that I would never forget."
K&C
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen," Esther said after getting everyone's attentions, "Waiters arm coming around with champagne, I invite you all to join me in raising a glass."
"There you are love," Klaus said handling Caroline a glass.
"It provides me with no greater joy then to see my family back together as one," Esther said, "I would like to thank you all for being part of this spectacular evening, cheers."
"Cheers." Everyone called out and they all drank. Elena couldn't look over at Caroline. She had just signed her friends death sentence, but she had to protect her family and the people she loved.
Caroline could understand that at least.
K&C
"That was some evening," Caroline said coming out of the bathroom toweling off her wet hair, "With Kol trying to kill Matt and Rebekah breaking Kol's neck." She saw a picture on her pillow. She picked it up and smiled. It was of her and the horse.
"Do you like it?" Klaus asked.
"When did you have time to draw it?" Caroline said.
"You were in the shower," Klaus said laying down.
"I wondered why you didn't join me," Caroline said with a wink, "This is beautiful, thank you."
"Hardly does you justice though," Klaus said, "You are far more beautiful then what that drawing shows."
"Are you trying to seduce me?" Caroline asked.
"Love, I have been trying for 350 years," Klaus told her, "You are too smart to be seduced by me. You were then and you are now. I could never make you do anything, no matter how hard I try."
"You're wrong though," Caroline said, "I might be too smart to be seduced by you, but it doesn't mean I don't like it. I did promise Kol he would be the only one with a cold bed tonight. Come here wolf boy."
Thankfully their room was spelled, because no one in the Mikealson family would have been able to sleep that night considering all the noise coming from their bedroom.
…
So what did you think? All fluff I know, but I had always planned to "kill" her and finally make Klaus say I love you.
I got my ten reviews (and more) you all rock!
Yes I made Caroline into an Original, told you there was a reason for the sharing of blood. It just means she can only be killed by the dagger now, but if Klaus dies she will too.
I could probably do a couple cool things with their bond. Any ideas?
Thank you for all the reviews! You really wanted that next day update well here it is!
Terapsina and solemnly-up-to-no-good guessed right so a shout out to them!
epic sweetness712 guessed the ring or another one of the pieces she wears.
BlueJean452 guessed her ring, or the knife which I hadn't thought of!
