here's another chapt cause i was inspired by random things. oh yeah and tvd comes back finally! Thanks for reading! no beta.
Elijah and Katherine had managed to haul the tree outside and put the decorations and ornaments back in their boxes. They were exhausted and both sat down onto the couch.
"Who knew a tree would be that hard to get rid of" Katherine said
"Well, we finally got rid of it" Elijah said
"I'm tired, give me a few minutes"
The two of them dozed off before they knew it. Klaus was drawing and became hungry. He went outside and saw the two of them sleeping. He pulled a blanket and put it over both of them. He went into the kitchen and made himself a sandwich and got himself a juicebox from the fridge. He sat there and ate his sandwich and drank his juice. He cleaned up after himself and then decided to make Elijah and Katherine a sandwich as well. He set put the two plates on the table in front of them as well as 2 juice boxes. He went back to his room to continue drawing.
Klaus heard a familiar laugh outside and went to his window. He saw Caroline outside playing in the snow. She looked up and waved at him. He waved back. She motioned for him to come out. He nodded and ran to put his jacket on. He put the scarf and hat Caroline had given him and searched for his gloves. He pulled his boots on and ran out of his room. He stopped when he saw Elijah and Katherine sleeping still. He didn't want to wake them so he left quietly. He joined Caroline outside.
"Nik!" Caroline yelled out
Nik ran over to her and started playing in the snow with her. The two giggled and started to make a snowman. It started to get dark and Liz came out. She called out to Caroline.
"Caroline, it's time to come in" Liz yelled
"No!" Caroline whined
"It's getting dark! It's time for dinner"
"Can Nik come over?"
"Nik has to ask his brother first"
Caroline looked over at Nik.
"Go ask your brother" Caroline said
"He's sleeping with Katherine now" Nik said
"He can't! Elijah's sleeping with Katherine now!" Caroline yelled out
Liz immediately ran out of the house.
"Caroline be quiet! Both of you come here now!" Liz yelled
Caroline and Nik got up and walked over to the house. Liz bent down to talk to them.
"When you say Elijah's sleeping, you mean?" Liz asked
"He's asleep on the couch with Katherine" Nik said
"Oh, of course, that's what you meant" Liz said
"Mommy can Nik stay for dinner?" Caroline asked
"Yes, I'll bring him back after dinner. I'm sure Elijah will be awake by then"
"Yay!"
Caroline took Klaus's hand and pulled him into the house.
"Take off your shoes first! I don't want water in the house!" Liz yelled
Elijah was still in a deep sleep. Katherine had moved closer and ended up sleeping on his chest. Elijah placed his arm around her and held her closer. Neither one of them was aware of what they were doing. There were no lights on in the house as they slept.
Klaus followed Caroline down the hall to her room. She pushed the door open and Klaus had never seen so much pink before. She had a white bed frame with pink sheets on them. She had several stuffed animals and a small tea set on a small table where her other dolls sat. There were pictures around the room.
"Come in silly" Caroline said pulling him in
Klaus looked around. He was definitely in a girl's room. Compared to his room, which was empty and sparse Klaus had never seen so much stuff in a room before. He saw her tea set on the table. It was pink of course. He reached over and moved the tea cup so the handle was on the right side. Caroline watched him curiously. He moved the creamer and sugar pot over, rearranging her tea set.
"What are you doing?" Caroline asked
"You had it wrong"
"How do you know?"
"Cause I know how to make tea"
"Really?"
"Yes, I made it for my mommy before"
"Did she like it?"
"I guess, she didn't talk much"
"Do you miss her?"
"Sometimes, but I'm starting to forget her"
"Don't you have a picture of her?"
"No, I don't have anything from her. Lijah took me that day and she just sat there"
"Maybe she was too sad to say anything"
"Maybe"
After dinner, Liz took Klaus back home. They knocked on the door and waited. They knocked again still no answer. Liz started to pound on the door.
"Lijah! Wake up!" Klaus yelled
Elijah and Katherine finally awoke with a both jumped and Katherine realized she was sleeping on him. She pulled herself away. It was dark and Elijah reached for the lamp and turned the light on. The knocking continued and they both looked around. Elijah got up and answered the door. He was surprised to see Liz standing there with Klaus.
"Niklaus when did you leave?" Elijah asked
"When you fell asleep" Nik said as he walked into the house
Katherine stood up and looked around. She saw the two sandwiches and juice boxes on the table. She also realized there was a blanket laid on them.
"Nik got out somehow, he was playing with Caroline in the snow before. I called her in for dinner and Caroline asked for him to stay. He said you had fallen asleep with Katherine" Liz said
"Oh, ah, yes, it seems we fell asleep, after taking down the christmas decorations and getting the tree out."
"Well, good to see you're awake now. I'll see you later" Liz said
"Thank you" Elijah said
Elijah took a second to compose himself and closed the door. He turned around and saw Katherine sitting on the couch eating a sandwich.
"Where did you get that from?" Elijah asked
"Sandwich fairy" Katherine said
Elijah walked over to her and saw there was a sandwich sitting on the table for him.
"Did you-" Elijah started
"Nope, i was dead asleep, it was the sandwich fairy"
"it wasn't a fairy"
"What gave it away?"
Elijah looked at the sandwich and could picture Klaus making the sandwich. He smiled and went to find his brother.
Klaus woke up and managed to get himself dressed and ready for the day by himself. He walked into the kitchen and was surprised to find Elijah and Katherine cooking. He looked up at them both.
"You're awake" Katherine said picked up the frying pan
"Have a seat" Elijah said
Klaus sat at the table and noticed there was a place setting for him. He saw the fork and spoon. He noticed they were colorful and not metal. Katherine slid something onto his plate. He looked at it in amazement. It was a piece of bread with an egg in the center. Katherine had cut out the shape of the sun in the bread and placed the egg in the center.
"I saw it in a movie once" Katherine said
Elijah walked over and using tongs placed a few things onto Klaus's plate. Klaus stared wide eyed at them. They were hot dogs cut into octopuses, complete with a smilie face on them.
"Enjoy" Elijah said
Klaus smiled and reached for the toast with his hands. He took a bite and smiled.
"We're so teaching you how to use utensils" Katherine said
"It's not like he's eating a steak" Elijah said
"Don't encourage him" Katherine said as she set another plate on the table
Klaus looked over and saw it was fruit but Katherine had made it into the shape of a caterpillar. A green caterpillar with a red head from one of the few books he had. The Hungry Caterpillar. He smiled.
"Thanks Katherine" Klaus said
"Your welcome" Katherine said
"Where did you learn all this?" Elijah asked
"My parents used to do this for me, before they died. I tried to do it for Elena and Jeremy"
Elijah could tell there was a sadness in her voice. He didn't press it, instead he turned back to his brother who was enjoying his breakfast.
I loved the hungry caterpillar when I was kid! I always remember that book. I know some of you are asking when am I going to age them? Not yet...they have a little time left to be little rascals and get into everything before I age them. Thanks for reading.
