Chapter 20
"Caroline, welcome back to New Orleans we have been expecting you. My name is Marcel, and you are going to help me get something I want." He says grabbing me by the back of the neck and pushing me into an old coliseum. I stumble upon entering. The first thing I notice as my vampire vision kicks in is Nik in the corner, looking starved and weak. He looked up hearing someone enter. His eyes found mine and panic sets in.
"Caroline" I hear him choke out "What are you doing here?"
"She is here to save you" I hear Marcel laughing. "I heard how hungry you are so I brought you a snack" he tells him pushing me towards Nik. "Go ahead... have a drink; you will need your energy for what is coming next." He taunts.
I crawl the remaining distance towards Nik. I take him head and push it into my neck encouraging him to drink. He pushes me away with what little strength he has left.
"I will not drink from you, it will kill you" he tells me in a raspy voice.
I do not give him a choice. I know he will need the blood to make our escape. I bite down onto my wrist and force it into his mouth. The first few drops of my blood touch his tongue and the hunger takes over; I can feel his fangs extend and bite into my wrist as he starts to pull the life saving substance into his body. I can feel the venom entering my blood, making my head dizzy as he continues to drink. He finally pulls away and I sink onto the floor. I can feel the power of Nik's blood I drank earlier that day starting to work.
"Look what you have gone and done" Marcel speaks up from the other side of the room. "Once again you have sacrificed the one you claim to love to save yourself. You know have the energy to watch as your venom slowly kills her; that is if I don't expedite the process and just tear her heart out to drink her blood." He laughs dragging me by my feet towards the other side of the room.
I am hoping that he will hurry up and try to kill me before he realized the venom that should be killing me is not. I know that I need to be a good actress and keep quiet and be ill.

It does not take long before Marcel grows bored with watching me shake on the floor and listening to Nik call out to me apologizing for what he has done. He grabs me and pulls me up towards himself. I can feel his grubby hands on my breasts and have to fight back the urge to puke. He licks the side of my neck and whispers in my ear.
"Thanks for giving me what I wanted" he tells me as he sets me onto a chair in front of Nik. "Now Klaus, it is time for you to do what you do best." He says pushing me towards Nik and handing him a stake. "You are going to drive this stake through her heart, once you have killed her you will be released and will leave New Orleans and Never come back. This is my city now!"
I make eye contact with Nik and can see the inner torment in his eyes. I lean forward and touch the side of his face, pulling him close to me. I close the distance between us and kiss him, pouring all of the love I have for him into the kiss. I pull back and look into his eyes.
"Do it Nik, take my pain away please. I am ready to die" I whisper to him, pleading with him to drive the stake into me.
I feel the stake line up with my chest as he comes in for another kiss.
"I am so sorry Caroline. I love you" he says as he pushes the steak forward into my heart. My body responds and starts to desecrate as it should, I am barley conscious at this point but I can still hear Marcel crying out as the spell takes effect and he dies in my place. The last thing I hear as I loose consciousness is the rest of the family storming in taking out the rest of the guards.

I wake up in a comfy bed; I open my eyes and look around. I am in a strange bed room and have been changed into an over sized t-shirt. I sit up in bed to get a better look around as the door opens.
"Caroline, you are awake. I have been so worried Love" Nik tells me as he flashes over to the bed.
"Nik, I love you so much. I am so happy you are home and safe." I tell him wrapping my arms around his torso.
"That was a terribly stupid plan yesterday. Had anything gone wrong I would have lost you forever."
"But you didn't and now we are together again" I tell him pulling him in for a kiss.
He kisses me back with more passion and love that I have ever experienced from him. He keeps kissing me and pushes me back so that he is lying on top of me. I have missed the feel of his body on mine. I pull him even closer kissing him hard and running my hands down is back. I feel his hand running up my bare leg getting closer to the hem of the shirt I am wearing.
I take the opportunity to roll us over so that I am sitting on top of him. I grind my hips into his hard cock. I can feel in straining through his pants. I continue to move my hips as I lean into to kiss him again. I pull back and grab the hem of my shirt and pull it over my head and toss it onto the floor. His hands come up and grab my breasts. I lean forward letting him mouth capture one of my nipples as I push back onto his groin.
He rolls us back over and quickly discards his own clothing before crawling back up onto the bed. Within in seconds I feel him at my entrance. He looks at me and I nod before he pushes inside. I feel myself stretch to take in his size. Once he is fully in I feel my body relax, I feel complete once again. He starts to thrust in and out making my body hum with pleasure. He picks up the pace thrusting hard and fast, both of us needing to feel the other person. As I feel my body getting close to orgasm I pull him close and sink my fangs into his neck. The taste of his blood is more than enough to push me over the edge and have me spiraling into orgasmic bliss. I can feel Nik licking my neck to close the wounds he made biting my neck. I know there is much to discuss but for right now I am where I need to be. I curl into his arms and fall asleep.
