Thanks to all that read this, review it, fave it and alert it. This chapt is a bit longer, and yes they are just a bit older. I think before they were like 5 or 6. Anyways see you at the bottom. No beta still.
"Hold still!" Katherine yelled
"You're taking too long!" Klaus whined
"Do you want to look like a wolf or not?"
Klaus stopped fidgeting and let Katherine finish painting his face. Elijah had glued the fake fur to his hands and shoes. Katherine put the giant wolf head on Klaus's head. It was a hat that sat on his head with fur down the back. Katherine secured the hat and Klaus went to the mirror. He smiled when he saw his costume. He had a tail and the head looked pretty real. Katherine put a pair of goggles over the eyes. She said it looked more steampunk. Whatever that meant. Klaus saw that Katherine and put some blood on his lips and splattered it a bit on his chin and neck. Katherine picked out the costume, she didn't want him to look like a store bought costume. He was older now. And he had a girl to impress.
There was a knock at the door. Klaus ran to the door and opened it. Caroline stood there dressed as little red riding hood. Her blonde hair was in two braids with red ribbons. Her cloak was red and stopped above her knees. He could see the red and white dress she wore under the cloak and noticed that her hood had bunny ears on it. She held her basket in her hands and reached out for his hand.
"Cmon! We have to go! Stefan and Damon are gonna get all the candy!" Caroline said
"Ok!" Klaus ran to grab his pumpkin
Katherine held it in her hands and had redecorated it. It was grandma's head with a pink sleeping hat on it. Klaus looked at it and smiled.
"Cool! Thanks Kat" Klaus grabbed it and ran out of the house with Caroline
Elijah looked at Katherine.
"What was that?" Elijah asked
"A head" Katherine said
"I know it was a head, what was Niklaus doing with it?"
"It's part of his costume, big bad wolf can't be walking around with a cheap plastic pumpkin"
"He's 10"
"Exactly, all the other kids will make fun of him"
Caroline and Klaus were walking down the street, holding hands as they went to the houses to collect candy. They spotted Stefan and Damon throwing eggs and toilet paper around.
"What are you doing?" Klaus asked
"Nik! You're here! Cmon we gotta toilet paper the teacher's houses" Damon said
"No, we have to get candy!" Caroline yelled back as she held onto Klaus's hand
"Fine, candy first then toliet paper the house" Damon said
"Candy!" Stefan yelled as he ran past them
"You can't have any!" Damon yelled as he chased after him
Klaus looked over at Caroline and smiled. She squeezed his hand and they both walked down the street. Klaus remembered his first Halloween with Caroline. He could barely talk and he didn't know who Elijah was. He was scared and alone, and she brought him out. He never thanked her for it, but he didn't know how. But he kept his promise to her, he never left her. Even in school, he never left her. They were inseparable.
"Hey! We gotta get candy!" Stefan yelled
"Cmon you two lovebirds!" Damon yelled
Damon, Stefan and Klaus sat in Liz Forbe's living room. Caroline was watching from the hallway. Giuseppe showed up first looking at his two sons with egg on their clothes and hair.
"What did they do now?" Giuseppe asked
"They were caught throwing eggs and toilet paper around Mr Saltzman's house" Liz said
"You boys can't stay out of trouble for one night?" Giuseppe asked
"Sorry dad" Stefan said
"Well I'm not! He's a jerk face! He doesn't like me for no reason!" Damon yelled
"Damon! You both will apologize to him and you will clean up his house!" Giuseppe yelled
"Yes pops" Damon said looking down
"Did you drag Nik into this?" Giuseppe asked
"I didn't do anything!" Damon yelled
"Damon..." Stefan said putting his hand on his shoulder
"NO! He always blames me for everything! I hate this!" Damon yelled as he ran out of the house
"Damon!" Stefan tried to chase after him but his father held him back
Elijah came to the house and saw Klaus sitting on the couch alone. Liz walked over to him.
"I found him with Damon and Stefan throwing eggs and toilet paper at the teacher's house" Liz said
"Really?" Elijah asked
"I didn't see it, Caroline swears up and down Nik didn't do anything, and that they were just watching"
"Well was he?"
"I don't know, he didn't say anything and hasn't said anything"
"Well he's not covered in eggs"
"He's not, though him not telling us what happened doesn't help"
"I'll talk to him and clear this up. Thank you Liz"
"Come, we're leaving Niklaus" Elijah said
Klaus got up and walked to the door looking down at the floor. Caroline ran out and grabbed onto Klaus.
"No! He didn't do it! He didn't do anything! We just went to watch! Nik didn't do anything!" Caroline yelled
"Caroline!" Liz yelled
"No! You can't take him! He didn't do anything!" Caroline yelled
"It's ok Caroline" Klaus said
"No!" Caroline yelled as she felt the tears form in her eyes
Caroline was afraid for Klaus. She knew they were in trouble. The kind of trouble they had never been in before. The kind of trouble Damon would cause. Klaus brushed away her tears with his thumb.
"Don't cry, I'll be ok" Klaus said
"Stupid Damon! This is all his fault!" Caroline said
"But I went with him"
"But you didn't do anything!"
"Caroline! Stop this right now!" Liz yelled
Caroline held onto Klaus tightly. Klaus hugged her back. He whispered into her ear.
"It'll be ok. Don't worry" Klaus said
Liz pulled Caroline away and Elijah took hold of Klaus and led him out.
"Caroline! Calm down!" Liz said
"NO! NO!" Caroline screamed as she ran to her room
2 years later
Caroline walked out of her house and saw the girls leaving the house across the street dressed for prom. She watched them taking pictures with their dates and then get into the limo. Klaus walked up next to her and looked at the girls.
"What are you looking at?" Klaus asked
"Those girls, they're all dressed up and look so pretty. They look like princesses going to a ball"
"Girls"
"What? I want to go to a ball"
"Are you going to turn into a pumpkin?"
"Are you going to turn into a rat?"
"They call it prom, I heard Kat talking about it. She was making fun of them, saying how puffy their dresses were but they weren't going to stay on"
"Why wouldn't they stay on?"
"I dunno, Kat doesn't make sense most of the time"
"I wanna go to prom"
"I'll take you"
"Promise?"
"Of course. Then we can throw pumpkins at people afterwards!"
"You're so silly Nik"
"Hey blondie!" Damon yelled
"What?!" Caroline yelled back
"Got any cookies?!"
"NO! Go away!"
"I know you have some!"
"Just give him one" Klaus said
"Fine!"
Klaus waved Damon over. Damon had apparently grown over a foot in the past few months and his voice changed. He seemed to keep growing taller and taller, while Stefan remained the same. Caroline offered him the plate of cookies and Damon grabbed a few.
"Hey! Save some for the rest of us!" Caroline said
"you're the best blondie!" Damon said as he ran off to the treehouse
Caroline smiled and looked over at Klaus.
"I have chocolate milk inside" Caroline said
Klaus opened the door for her and they walked inside.
Caroline and Klaus both grew a foot or more in the coming months. Klaus noticed his voice was changing and getting squeaky. He didn't know what was going on.
"Lijah, what's wrong with me?" Klaus asked
"Nothing's wrong" Elijah said
"Why's my voice like this?!"
"Oh um, I suppose it's time we had the talk"
"What talk?"
Katherine giggled to herself and left the room giving them privacy. She could only imagine Elijah's discomfort at explaining the birds and the bees to Klaus. She wondered if he would draw diagrams or have flash cards.
Caroline put on her pink bathing suit and realized it was a lot smaller than the last time she put it on. It was a lot tighter and she didn't know why. Her mom was busy working and didn't have time to take her shopping and get a new bathing suit. She sighed. She grew a foot taller but not wider she thought. She tried to get the bottom up over her hips, struggling. She didn't remember it being this hard to put on her pink bathing suit. And the top couldn't fit as she realized that her breasts were getting bigger and bigger with no end in sight. She didn't understand what was happening to her. She was just lucky that her voice wasn't changing like Klaus's. She walked out to the pool and every boy started to stare at her. Suddenly she felt self conscious. She knew her pink bathing suit was tight but she didn't realize it was that tight. She quickly jumped into the water. Damon and Stefan jumped into the pool after her, rather cannon balled in. Klaus saw Caroline in the water and jumped in. They splashed around for a bit.
"Let's play chicken!" Damon said
Stefan climbed onto Damon's shoulders. Caroline climbed onto Klaus's. Damon and Stefan stared at Caroline and didn't move.
"What?" Caroline asked
"What's going on?" Klaus asked
Damon and Stefan were still staring intently and couldn't answer. They were amazed at how her bathing suit could stretch that much. And they were staring at her breasts. Little Caroline wasn't so little anymore.
"Are you guys gonna play or not?" Klaus asked
Stefan and Damon both nodded. Klaus groaned in frustration. He set Caroline down into the water.
"No! Don't do that!" Damon said
"You guys are being weird" Klaus said as he turned away
"Nik, you're bleeding!" Stefan said
"Where?" Klaus said looking at himself
"Your neck" Damon pointed
Klaus reached and touched his neck, but he couldn't find a wound. The three boys stood there confused in the pool wondering where the blood came from. Caroline was hiding in the corner of the pool.
"Maybe I cut myself or something, I don't know, guess it stopped" Klaus said
"Guess so, cmon let's play chicken" Damon said
"For real this time" Stefan said
"Ok, I'll get Caroline" Klaus said making his way over to her
He found Caroline huddled in the corner of the pool.
"Caroline, what are you doing here? Cmon let's play chicken"
"I don't want to play"
"what's wrong?"
"Nik, I'm bleeding"
"Where? Are you hurt? I'll get someone"
"No, please don't."
"What's wrong?"
"Just help me get out of the pool"
"Ok"
"No, I need a cover up"
"Why?"
"Please Nik?"
"Fine I'll get you a towel"
Klaus got out of the pool and went to get a towel. He came back and motioned for Caroline to get out of the pool. Caroline motioned for him to come closer.
"What's wrong?" Klaus asked
"I don't want anyone to see"
"See what?"
"I'm bleeding, down there"
"Where?"
"Just cover me from the waist down. Don't let anyone see ok?"
"Ok"
Caroline got out of the pool quickly and Klaus covered her with the towel. She wrapped it around herself tightly. She started to shiver and Klaus grabbed another towel and covered her with it.
"What's wrong Caroline?" Klaus asked
"Nothing, I have to go"
"But you just got here"
"I have to go"
"Talk to me, what's going on"
"It's a girl thing"
"When do you have girl things?"
"Since I'm a girl"
"I know that, but since when did you keep things from me"
"Please Nik I just want to get out of here"
"Ok"
Klaus rubbed her arms through the towel to keep her warm. She leaned into him.
"What are you two doing?" Katherine said
The two looked up at her.
"Aren't you suppose to be in the pool?" Katherine asked
"Caroline has to go" Klaus said
"Go where? You just got here" Katherine said
"She says it's a girl thing" Klaus said
Katherine looked at Klaus and then at Caroline. Katherine raised an eyebrow at them.
"Klaus go back to the pool. I'll take care of Caroline" Katherine said
"You're ok Caroline?" Klaus asked
"I'll be fine" Caroline said
"Ok," Klaus walked towards the pool and then looked back at her
Caroline smiled and watched as Klaus jumped into the pool. Damon and Stefan swam over to talk to Klaus on why Caroline left. Katherine looked at the blonde girl.
"Girl thing huh?" Katherine asked
"Yes, this is so embarrassing"
"Lemme guess you're wearing a white bathing suit under there aren't you?"
"Pink actually"
"Cmon let's get you changed"
"Thanks"
"Klausy has no idea does he?"
"No, I kinda bled on him"
"Yeah, definitely don't tell him"
Klaus was playing with Stefan and Damon more and he noticed that he didn't see Caroline as much anymore. He saw that Caroline would play with Elena. He wondered what happened. He watched Caroline and Elena talk outside her house. Klaus decided he would find out what was going on with her. He climbed down the treehouse.
"Where you going Nik?" Damon asked
"I'm going to talk to Caroline" Klaus said
"You sure you want to do that?" Stefan asked
"Why not?" Klaus asked
"Nevermind, you'll figure it out" Damon said
Damon and Stefan watched from the treehouse as Klaus walked over to Caroline's house. He walked up to the two girls who were talking infront of her house.
"Caroline" Klaus said
Caroline and Elena looked up at him. He'd grown even taller, he was taller than both of them, and his voice finally stopped cracking. He was glad for that, he felt embarrassed every time he spoke.
"Hi Nik" Caroline answered
"Can I talk to you?" Klaus asked
"I'm kinda busy" Caroline said
"When are you too busy for me? I thought we were friends"
"We are, it's just that me and Elena are busy"
"You're always busy, you never talk to me anymore, you never want to play with us"
"We're not little kids, we don't play anymore"
"Then what are we?"
"I'm a girl and you're a boy. You hang out with boys, I hang out with girls"
"Since when?"
"Since now"
"But why?"
"Because it's just the way it is!" Caroline stormed back towards her house
Elena gave Klaus a look and chased after Caroline. She grabbed onto Caroline's arm before she went into the house.
"Wait Caroline, you're being really mean to him" Elena said quietly
"Since when did you care?"
"He's been your friend since you were little kids"
"Well we're not kids anymore"
"He misses you, he doesn't know why, maybe if you tell him"
"No Elena!"
"Fine, I'm going to see Stefan and Damon in their treehouse, and you can talk to him or not if you want to"
"You just want to see Stefan!"
"Shut up!"
Elena ran off towards the treehouse. Klaus stood there confused looking at Caroline. She looked at him standing there and sighed. She waved for him to come in. Klaus walked into her house and followed her to her room. He noticed that her room wasn't as pink as it was before. A lot of her toys were gone. He noticed the tea set and table were gone. He looked and saw there were christmas lights strewn across her headboard and on the 4 posts of her bed. He also noticed that her cartoon bedsheets were gone and replaced with deep magenta sheets instead. He saw there were pictures around her room, some from when they were younger. He smiled as he picked up the picture of them a few years ago at halloween. He sat down on her bed and she quickly scooted away from him.
"What's wrong? Are you mad at me?" Klaus asked
"No"
"Then what is it?"
"We're not little kids anymore"
"I know"
"Then why are you asking so many questions?"
"Cause I miss my friend. I don't know why you stopped talking to me"
"You're busy talking to Damon and Stefan"
"Because you're not around. You know you can always come to the treehouse"
"I don't want to, boys do that, I'm a girl"
"So?"
"So we can't do all the things we used to do!"
"Just come to the treehouse, we all miss you"
"yeah right"
"Caroline, please"
"I don't want to"
"Why?"
"Because...because..." Caroline started to cry as she hugged her chest
Klaus hated seeing her cry. He reached out to her slowly. He pulled her closer to him and held her as she cried.
"They keep staring at me" Caroline said
"Who?"
"Everyone"
"No one's staring at you, you're so paranoid"
"They are!"
"Why are they staring at you?"
"Because they keep growing, and they just won't stop. God, they're like big!"
"What?"
Caroline wiped her tears and then opened her cardigan to show him how big her breasts were getting. They were too big for the bra she had on. Klaus at that moment realized that Caroline was definitely a girl, and began seeing her in a different light. He couldn't help but stare. He was a guy after all.
"When did you get those?" Klaus asked
"The same time I started getting taller"
"How come I didn't get those?" Klaus said patting his own chest
"Cause you're a boy!" Caroline laughed
"But maybe mine will grow too" Klaus said
"You're so silly!"
"Is that why you don't want to see me?"
"They just keep getting bigger and nothing fits. And all the boys are staring at me"
"Who's staring? I'll make them stop!"
"You can't make everyone at school stop"
"Watch me! I'll protect you, I'll always protect you"
"I know you will Nik"
"But seriously, are you sure I won't grow them too?"
"No silly! Only girls get them!"
"Lemme check!" Nik pulled his shirt off
Caroline looked at his chest and saw the faint scars and burn marks had faded. She had only seen it as a child but remembered it.
"guess you're right. Must be a girl thing"
"Nik!" Caroline laughed
Klaus laughed along with her. He had missed days like these where they talked and laughed. Everything was so much simpler and easier when they were younger. Caroline moved and grabbed and pillow and hit him with it. He quickly grabbed a pillow and hit her back. They began hitting each other and laughing. Just like old times. But Klaus couldn't help but watch her breasts bounce when she moved. He couldn't help it. He felt the pillow hit him in the head and he snapped out of it. Caroline was his friend, and he shouldn't be looking at her like this. She fell forward onto him and they fell back onto the bed. She was laying on top of him, her bare skin touching his. Both of them were breathing heavily and Caroline looked down at his lips. Klaus pushed her hair out of her face. Caroline had kissed him many times as a child, but this time was different. He felt an electric spark shoot through his body when her chest pressed against his. And then he realized something else was pressing against him, and mostly likely her. He pushed her off quickly and sat up. He was embarrassed to say the least. Elijah had told him that it would come up and say hello for no reason at times. It would happen, and there wasn't much he could do about it. Just hope that no one noticed, and put a book in front of it. There were no books at the moment.
Caroline could sense something was wrong with Klaus. She reached out to him. She had felt it against her leg as well. Her fingers touched his back, tracing along the many scars he had there that were fading. She saw the iron mark on him and her fingers stopped.
"It doesn't hurt anymore" Klaus said
"You don't have to be embarrassed"
"I don't know what's happening to me. My voice finally changed, I'm growing hair in weird parts of my body and I, I can't control it"
"It's ok Nik, we're both going through changes"
"I wish it would just stop, I wish we were still kids again"
"Me too"
Caroline wrapped her arms around him from behind. She rested her head on his shoulder. He reached up and ran his fingers through her hair.
"Don't we make quite the pair?" Klaus said
"A pair of jokers!" Caroline said
They both laughed. Klaus wrapped his hand around her wrist which was holding onto him.
" Promised you I wouldn't leave you. And I won't"
"I know Nik, I know"
"What the hell is going on in here?!" Liz yelled
Caroline and Klaus let go and both stood up. Liz looked at Caroline's open cardigan and Klaus's shirt on the floor and thought the worst.
"Button up your sweater! Put your shirt back on NOW! You are never allowed to be in her room alone! Do you understand me!?" Liz yelled
"Yes" Klaus said pulling his shirt over his head
Caroline quickly buttoned up her cardigan.
"Go home now, I'll be over to talk to your brother" Liz barked
Klaus looked at Caroline and quickly rushed out. Liz turned back to Caroline.
"What the hell did I just walk in on?! What would have happened if I didn't come back?"
"Nothing! Nothing happened!"
"Why the hell was your sweater open? Did he try to touch you?"
"What? NO! This is Nik"
"Yes, Nik is a boy, I'm well aware of that! Did he touch you? Did he do anything to you?"
"You know, all he did was talk to me, and listen to me! And he was trying to make me feel better"
"I'm sure he was"
"He listened to me! We were just talking, he didn't know why I wasn't talking to him. And he didn't know why everyone was staring at me. So I showed him. And then he said maybe his would grow too, that's why he took his shirt off"
Liz didn't know what to believe, just that she had to go next door and talk to Elijah about this.
"Thank you Liz" Elijah said as he closed the door
Katherine stood there watching not sure what to say. She had heard everything Liz and Elijah had said. Elijah turned around and saw Katherine standing there.
"Now what am I suppose to do?" Elijah asked
"Talk to him"
"That talk was already awkward and weird enough as it is. Now I have to do this talk too?"
"Well that talk is supposed to be included with the first talk! Don't you know anything?"
"No I don't! I'm his brother! Not a father! There's no guidebook for this! I have no idea what I'm doing here!"
"That makes two of us. Look you just have to talk to him about this. He's not a little kid anymore. And by the looks of it, Caroline isn't a little kid anymore either. Besides it just sounds like they were curious and nothing happened."
"But they cannot be alone together anymore"
"Well not in a public setting that is. They're young, they're going through puberty, god so they're curious, is it a crime?"
"It is if he does something to her"
"He's a boy, so you get to talk to him, if it was your sister then I'd have to talk to her, but guess what? Klausy's a boy, so man up and talk to him"
Elijah sighed and walked down the hallway towards his brother's room. He knocked on the door. Klaus was looking at his shoebox of things he had collected when he heard the knock. He put the cover on the shoe box and slid it under the bed.
"Come in" Klaus said
Elijah walked in and saw Klaus sitting on his bed. Elijah sat on the bed next to him.
"So Caroline's mom came by" Elijah started
"Yeah I heard"
"She was rather upset to find you and Caroline alone in her room together"
Klaus didn't say anything.
"Did something happen?" Elijah asked
"She was crying, and I was trying to make her feel better. She said everyone was staring at her"
"Staring at her?"
"She said all the boys at school were staring at her. I told her I'd make them stop"
"I'm sure you did"
"And then she showed me"
"Showed you what?"
"She said they were getting bigger, and I didn't know what she meant so she showed me. She opened her sweater and showed me"
All the color from Elijah's face left. He didn't know what to say.
"Lijah?" Klaus asked as he saw Elijah get paler and paler
"When you say showed you, what exactly did you see?"
"She showed me her chest. She was wearing her bathing suit I think, but it looked really small on her. I asked her if I was going to grow them too and she laughed. So I took off my shirt to see if I was growing them or not"
Elijah let out a sigh of relieve and then a small chuckle. He placed his hand on Klaus's shoulder.
"Didn't we cover this in our last talk? Your chest won't grow, you're not a girl"
"I know, but it made her laugh"
"So nothing else happened?"
"We had a pillow fight"
"That's all?"
"She fell on me, and it, it like, it poked her, and I was so embarrassed that I pushed her away. She said it was ok and she hugged me"
"And that's all that happened?"
"Yeah, then her mom came in screaming at us"
"Ok, nothing 's good, nothing happened"
"Why does everyone keep saying that?"
Katherine was leaning in the doorway and smirked.
"Alright, you've been floundering around enough, I'll take over" Katherine said walking in and sitting in a chair across from Klaus
"Sex, that's what they're afraid of. They're afraid that you and Caroline will have sex" Katherine said
Elijah was horrified that Katherine said it. Klaus was confused.
"What do you mean?" Klaus asked
"You see, your bodies are changing and you're growing up. All the adults here are afraid that you two will have sex, though you probably don't know the mechanics of it. But see if your boy parts line up with Caroline's girl parts, well then if you have sex you could get her pregnant"
"You mean she can have a baby?"
"Yes, so your boy parts can't meet her girl parts"
"Katherine!" Elijah yelled
"What? You weren't going to explain it to him, so I am"
