Early Update!
This is really because we feel bad for not giving you guys the chapter you were expecting so we spent the day and some of the night writing this and we hope you like it, it's a little shorter than what we're use to writing but it's not too short.
Just a few replies.
DHH- Listen, I don't want to sound rude or anything but each and every one of the many people in the TVD fandom has their own ships they ship and love. We (Hana and I {this is Cindy publishing BTW}) love the klayley ship. I personally like Elijah and Elena or Elijah and Katherine and I could warm up to Elijah and Sophie if Julie's willing to go somewhere with that pairing. I also like Kennett and I was once a Beremy fan. You have your own views and opinion and I respect them. That being said, if you do not like the fanfic story: Don't read. (Again, just being blunt, it's not meant to be rude)
bloodysirebond- Do you think Caroline can see past the fact that he got Hayley pregnant? Especially when the proof is always present?
AvalonTheLadyKiller- Thank you! That's why I posted the flashback chapter instead of continuing, it was kinda like Caroline remembering the last time she saw him and it really wasn't meant to be this long it was meant to be a part of this chapter but I seperated them.
And now for the long awaited chapter...
Chapter 5: I'm Pregnant
Klaus' stunned expression and frozen stance told Caroline that he was shocked. Caroline gave him a polite smile to help him understand that she was really there.
"Caroline?" His voice came out hoarsely, clouded with emotion.
"Hey" she said shyly.
"I- I wasn't expecting you" He said as he cautiously approached her. He still had the stunned expression on his face. His eyes were glistening with uncertainty and happiness.
Klaus wanted to reach out and feel the soft flesh of her cheeks under his rough palms, but he quickly shook the thought from his head, not wanting to scare her off.
Klaus' fingers twitched and he shifted from side to side. A small smile formed on Caroline's lips. She made her way over to him and she quickly hugged him.
The Original was taken aback by the sudden impact of her soft porcelain arms around his waist but he quickly reacted.
He wrapped his own arms around her waist and the two hugged for what felt like forever.
When Caroline pulled away, Klaus saw that Caroline's cheeks were as red as blood.
"Any particular reason for your presence here" He questioned "Not that I'm complaining, but you came here with my little sister of all the people in Mystic Falls" he added suggestively, glancing at his sister, ignoring his brother's stare.
"Hello to you too brother, lovely to see you stuttering." Rebekah smirked as she entered further in the room.
Klaus faced Rebekah and then looked back at Caroline.
"Did something happen in Mystic Falls?" Klaus asked, the confusion evident in his voice.
"Rebekah, could you finish preparing Caroline's bedroom please? " Elijah asked as he went further into the room and made his way towards Rebekah. He hugged her and his eyes met Caroline's.
Rebekah hid her laughter behind a scoff and folded her arms across her chest with an 'are you serious' look on her face, but it didn't faze Elijah at all and she realized he was being serious.
She rolled her eyes but asked "Which one?"
She then moved to Caroline's side to pick up her bags and turned around to face Elijah, who had an amusing smile on his face.
"The room next to yours" he replied almost smugly.
Rebekah gaped at him for a moment before responding "You think because we're getting along that we're actually friends?" her tone clearly stated that he was stupid to think so.
"You're not" it wasn't a question, it was more of a statement.
"Elijah, the only thing Rebekah and I share is the distaste of a common enemy" Caroline said in a calm tone then turned to Klaus and plastered the biggest smile of the century "Speaking of, where's Hayley?"
Klaus's facial expression showed many emotions then, anger, shame and regret all in one before turning into a stoned face, masking any other emotions ready to come out.
"Rebekah told you" he stated.
"She wanted to give me a heads up on what I'm about to walk into" Caroline said, folding her arms across her chest.
They both stared at each other before anger took Caroline over, because for some reason she couldn't look past the fact that he slept with Hayley and how could she?
The bitch betrayed Tyler, betrayed Klaus and had 12 hybrids killed. She snapped her neck and Caroline just didn't like the wolf. She had every right to be pissed, right?
"Hayley" she stated her name with no emotion, not even hate "Of all the women in the world, of all the women in Mystic Falls, you slept with the woman who turned your own hybrids against you to be sacrificed for Silas and snapped my neck only to get information that she has still yet to receive I believe" her tone held a laugh and an incredulous tone in it.
"Caroline…" his voice was both pleading and warning her but she held her hand up, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, blowing out slowly and relaxed her features before opening her eyes.
"I don't want to stress myself with this so I'm going to stop us both right there because as much as Rebekah tried to make me see reason for… you hooking up with that werewolf slut and I thought I could look past it but I can't, not right now…." she paused trying to find more words but found none left to really say other than "I just can't"
She didn't wait for Klaus to have something to say to her because she didn't want to hear it. She knew she had no claim over him when he did the deed and even when she slept with him and he left, she technically had no claim over him then, she wasn't expecting him to be celibate but if he was going to sleep with someone, she rather it not be someone she knew and hated.
She joined Rebekah's side "I want to go lie down, I'm tired".
"But right now is the perfect time to…." she was cut off by Caroline.
"I'm tired, I want to go to sleep, I'll deal with that in the morning" she spoke firmly and almost harshly, clearly forgetting that she was human and Rebekah was an Original Vampire that could snap her neck right at that moment and wonder about the weather, but she didn't care.
Rebekah opened her mouth to say something when Elijah placed his hand on her shoulder gently and smiled at her, causing her to relax only slightly.
"In the morning then" he stated, looking right at Caroline.
She nodded and followed Rebekah through the double doors.
Elijah sighed, a smile plastered on his face as he turned to face Klaus who looked like he was doing math in his head, which only slightly amused him considering that Niklaus usually figured everything out in mere seconds.
"You knew she was coming and somehow didn't bother to tell me, of all the useless information you normally do tell me?" Klaus snarled at him, causing Elijah to smirk with a scoff before walking away.
Rebekah had reluctantly showed her around her new room, with a few grumbles of course and an irritated stare.
"Where's Hayley?" she found herself asking and truth be told, she really didn't want to know, but she supposed she would want to know if she were to share a room with her, or if she was anywhere close by.
"The other side of the house, there is a reason Elijah placed her all the way over there rather than anywhere close to me of all people and had this room prepared for you. He will not admit it but he thinks we're so evil that we'll kill a pregnant girl in her sleep" Rebekah scoffed as if the thought alone was ludicrous.
"That is crazy" she stated but a smile appeared on her face "I'd rather have her very much awake for the occasion"
Rebekah smirked at her words, oddly agreeing with her.
Suddenly the doors opened to her room and in came Elijah, he made sure to close the door before speaking.
"Are you getting settled in?" he asked, approaching her.
"Yep" she replied, popping the 'p' "Rebekah was just explaining to me how little faith you have in us with Hayley's life…." she trailed off, wanting a reply from him.
"It is not you I do not trust, it is my own sister. She has Niklaus's temper" He replied, staring at Rebekah from over her shoulder.
"Both a gift and a curse" Rebekah countered at him with a smirk.
"I did not come here to argue with you Rebekah, I came to warn you, Silas is back in Mystic Falls and he's searching for Niklaus"
Both girls said "What?"
"Where did you hear this from?" Rebekah asked, folding her arms across her chest.
"Silas came to Katerina…" Rebekah stopped him.
"Still sleeping around with the doppelganger again, are you?" she sneered at him.
Caroline snapped up at the sound of her name "Katherine? That bitch didn't even thank me, I pushed her out of the way and if I hadn't…" she was cut off.
"I'll continue" he stated firmly, obviously ignoring her comment "She informed me that he asked for his location and she didn't give him so he's searching elsewhere for our whereabouts and apart from Katerina, only Damon and Stefan knows where he is"
"Damon won't have to even tell him, he'll read it from his mind" Rebekah said softly and with a hint of realisation.
"Which means we have to be cautious of our surroundings" Elijah said, it almost sounded like it was an order.
He then turned to Caroline and smiled lightly "I'm very sure that Katerina is very aware of what would have happened to her and the fact that she would have become useful to Klaus as human and I'm positive that she's immensely grateful for it"
"I'd like to hear that from her myself if you don't mind" she sneered at him "Now if you both don't mind, I'd like to attempt to get some rest for tomorrow"
Elijah smiled "Of course, come along Rebekah" he called.
They both exited the room, leaving her to her own while Elijah and Rebekah walked side by side.
"You know tonight was the best time" Rebekah stated.
"I know but she's tired" Elijah countered but Rebekah paused in her footsteps and turned to look at Elijah, he froze as well.
"You and I both know that's not true" she stated incredulously.
"I know that but what good will stress do to her?" he asked and Rebekah nodded as they both continued walking.
"How much hope do you have for him now?" Rebekah asked with a smirk.
"I think his reaction to Caroline's appearance gave you your answer"
The next morning, Caroline awoke to the feeling of her stomach swirling. She quickly shot out of bed and ran to the restroom. Clutching her stomach she bent over the toilet and threw up.
I am so over this morning sickness...She said to herself.
Once her morning sickness subsided she brushed her teeth and brushed her blonde hair. She then felt the rumbling of her stomach and she decided that it was time for breakfast.
As Caroline entered the kitchen, Klaus smiled at her. He had a mug in his right hand.
"Good morning, love." He greeted her.
"Hey" She said cheerfully "I'm hungry"
"How does eggs and turkey bacon sound?" He asked her.
"Good," she smiled.
Klaus smiled and reached for the pan. He put the pan on the stove and took out a bottle of olive oil. As the oil heated up, he made his ways towards the refrigerator and grabbed four eggs and a packet of turkey bacon.
"Coffee or tea?" He asked her.
"Tea sounds good." She smiled.
Klaus nodded and took out another mug. He placed the mug on the isle and quickly put the eggs into the pan.
"Sunnyside? Omelet? Or scrambled?"
"Anything is fine."
"Alright, how about I make you three types?" Klaus offered with a playful glint in his eyes.
"I don't want my cholesterol going through the roof!" She laughed just as Elijah walked in. He wore, surprise, surprise, a suit, but a different one. This one was missing a dress jacket, he was folding the sleeves when he walked in.
"Good morning, Niklaus. Caroline." He said as he looked between the pair. For the first time in a long time, Klaus was actually smiling. His dimples were showing and the smile seemed to reach his usual dark blue eyes.
"Good morning, Elijah." Caroline smiled in his direction.
"Brother… I thought you were already out doing business." Klaus said.
"I woke up an hour ago… Believe it or not, I do enjoy sleeping in when I have the chance." Elijah said as he rolled his eyes in Klaus' direction.
"Of course you do…" Klaus said as he shook his head.
Elijah turned to Caroline and he smiled at her again. He heard her baby's heartbeat and gave her a knowing look.
She shielded away from his stare and looked down, her hair dropping with her to cover her face. She gave him a slight nod. She was terrified of his reaction to it, after hearing from Rebekah what she had heard from Elijah on how he took the news, she didn't think Klaus would have her killed, but she didn't know what to expect from Klaus. He knew it was possible, but would his reaction differ from the one cruelly described by Rebekah, would he refer to her as a liquor fueled one-night stand?
"I should be on my way." Elijah said as he walked over to the coffee machine and poured himself a cup of coffee..
"Where are you going?" Rebekah questioned as she entered the kitchen.
"Rebekah come with me" Elijah ordered, ignoring her question.
She was ready to protest when she saw the look on his face so she grumbled but followed him.
"Uh… Klaus, I need to tell you something and it's important" She began "I would have called but I wanted to tell this to you in person"
Before Klaus could voice his concerns, Rebekah walked in and went straight to the coffee machine, Caroline had paused, wanting to be alone with him but she figured they were already listening anyways.
She poured a cup of hot coffee into a big black mug before extending it to Klaus.
He looked down at the mug then up at his sister before cocking his head sideways, wondering what she was up to, especially a nice Rebekah after not less than twenty four hours ago she was still angry at him.
"I don't take vervain or wolfsbane with my coffee little sister" he smirked.
Rebekah scoffed and rolled her eyes before taking a sip of the coffee before extending it to him again.
"There's nothing in it, see?" she spoke with an irritated tone.
Klaus shot Rebekah a dirty look but took the mug cautiously from her.
Rebekah smiled widely and turned swiftly, facing Caroline, the smile fell off her face as she used her hand to signal to Caroline to move back. Caroline was curious and a little worried but complied. Rebekah nodded for her to stop and flashed out of the room immediately.
Klaus's 'danger' eyes disappeared and in return, came eyes filled with worry "Caroline what's wrong?"
She took a deep breath, another one, two more as she stared into those beautiful eyes.
Caroline you can do this!
He will not kill you, you know this!
He will not refer to you as a one night stand!
He will not have the child killed!
She started panicking.
You're freaking yourself out!
Just say it!
She was so caught up in her own little world, she didn't see someone enter the room, or notice their presence until she blurted out "I'm pregnant"
"Wait, what?" said a female voice behind them, Klaus stared at her as the mug filled with hot coffee slipped from his fingers but he was too wrapped up in his mind to care when it slipped, or feel anything when it fell on the floor with a crash as splinters entered his foot and the heat of the liquid burned his skin.
Caroline on the other hand spun around swiftly to the sound of the voice to see a partially sleepy, partially alarmed Hayley in pajamas and wide eyes.
Elijah and Rebekah entered the kitchen again, this time, Elijah was wearing his dress jacket and a smirk while Rebekah looked down at the mug that was in pieces near his foot, the splinters in his skin yet he stared at Caroline as if he had turned into stone. It was amusing to both of his siblings.
"You're pregnant!" Hayley shrieked in a high pitched tone, one that no one was fond of.
"She just said that" Rebekah said, annoyed.
"How is that even possible?" she asked.
Caroline sneered at her "I'm going to assume you've never heard of the story of the birds and the bees so a baby is created…" she was cut off. Rebekah and Elijah smirked.
"I know about the birds and the bees, but vampire's can't have children"
"I'm not a vampire" Caroline's voice was finally heard, having been trapped in his eyes, wondering what was going on in his head. What was he thinking, did he want it, did he not want it, did he just want hers, did he even want this child to be born, what was going on in his head. She got tired of hearing Hayley's last statement, she decided to respond, rather than attempt to read the mind that was Niklaus Mikaelson.
"What do you mean you're not a vampire?" she asked harshly and Caroline turned swiftly around, her eyes filled with anger.
"I mean, I took the cure and I've been human for over a month, but I don't see how any of this is your business" she folded her arms across her chest defiantly.
"I don't do teen drama sweetheart, I thought we had this conversation already?" she mocked, a smirk on her face as Caroline's jaw dropped at her words.
"I so miss being a vampire" Caroline grumbled.
"It's a good thing I don't like her then?" Rebekah asked, eyeing Hayley.
"Ladies…" Elijah called softly.
"Are we so weak to have others fight for us?" Hayley mocked with an incredulous tone and a bitter smile.
Caroline squinted her eyes at her "I'm assuming that even werewolf sluts grow hungry, so if you like I can make you eat those words" she snarled "I'm sure it'll sate your hunger"
"Caroline" Elijah called. His voice boomed throughout the kitchen and everyone stayed quiet and they all turned to face him.
"He's gone" he stated, gesturing to the stop where Klaus was previously standing.
Only the remains of his coffee and the pieces of the mug remained on the floor.
Klaus leaned his head against the door of his study and slowly crumpled to the ground, feeling completey vulnerable in this state.
Caroline was pregnant.
Caroline is pregnant.
With his child.
With their child.
Ugh, he was beginning to think he should start wearing condoms.
He internally laughed at his own joke but his facial expression was a hard and cold one, one that would shake even his own siblings into a corner out of fear.
The woman he's been pursuing for oh so long, who he had the most amazing night of his entire existence with, was pregnant.
With his child.
His eyes were clouded with something, everything around him now looked blurry.
He blinked, and felt the hot tears falling down his face.
Why was he crying, what did he have to cry about? Some long lost dream he had a thousand years ago of having a family and living away from Mikael?
Why was he crying.
No, he didn't cry.
Why did the tears fall from his eyes…?
Were they tears of joy? Fear? Both?
He needed to distract himself, he needed to be alone and with that, he hid himself in his study.
Caroline registered Klaus's disappearance and turned to Rebekah to give her the best 'I told you so' look.
"Don't look at me" she put her hands up in surrender before pointing to Elijah "He's the one that told me what Klaus's reaction was"
"His reaction is rather refreshing" Elijah stated distantly.
"Refreshing? You and I are in the same room where he stood not five minutes ago right?"
"He called her and I quote 'A liquor fueled one-night stand', claimed she's been with another, laughed when she was revealed, I could go on and I apologize for my harsh words Hayley…" Hayley cut him off.
"No hard feelings" he said.
"I even tried to make him see way with this…" Rebekah cut him off.
"Since you don't know my suited brother that well, let me explain it to you, he can be very persuasive"
"But" he spoke, ignoring her words "This is a refreshing reaction. He neither denies it nor condemns it.
Hayley was relieved, she hated being here, Elijah made promises to keep her safe but Klaus was impulsive she couldn't take that chance. All she needed to do was to find the right moment to leave the mansion alone and without being seen by any vampires long enough to carry this news to eager ears and get the info she needed. But finding a way to get past three Originals and Caroline was going to be challenging.
"Well, at least now he'll know to use a condom" Hayley commented with a sigh as she ventured further into the room.
Rebekah rolled her eyes and Elijah ignored the statement.
"Two women who dislike each other are pregnant from one man…" she trailed off before pausing "Wait, scratch that, one thousand year old hybrid and are under the same roof…" she trailed off again for dramatic effect Caroline mused "I guess we have something in common, we both lack the ability to keep our legs closed."
With that Rebekah flashed herself to Hayley, grabbed her by her neck and slammed her against a wall "I will take my perfectly manicured fingers and rip that useless tongue from your throat and burn it to corpse should it speak ill of or to Caroline ever again, is that understood?"
Hayley only made choking noises and Elijah flashed towards them and grabbed Rebekah's hand, prying it off Hayley's neck. She fell to the ground, coughing and fighting for air as she looked up at the two originals.
Hayley just nodded at them as Rebekah stormed off and Elijah aided her to her feet.
Rebekah had left the mansion, she had to deal with him, she had stayed till lunch, wondering how he was doing, what was he up to, was he seeing someone and it all gave her a massive headache. Not to mention that the town she once loved, her painful and cherished memories of New Orleans when it was owned by her brother had been handed over to him, of all people.
Now she was hearing about his rules and no matter what or who you are, you obey his rules and she took no command from anyone.
The man she once taught highly off, the man that stole kisses from her, sweet kisses before her brother would see. Who would stare at her as if she was a goddess, stilled lived and now ruled her brother's city and he had rules... she laughed at the thought.
So if she wanted to walk into a bar, tease a couple of his vampire buddies into attempting to be rude only to kill them all in his bar as a message…
She smiled at his minions as they attempted to demand her company with them. She headed to the pool table, picked up one of the balls and threw it at one of the vampires at lightening speed, it went straight through his head and into the wall behind him. His eyes were wide as he fell to the ground harshly.
The other men watched the scene before growls escaped their throats and Rebekah picked up the pool stick and boke it in half before staring at the guys with excitement.
"Marcel has rules against killing his vampires" one of the men growled.
"Consider this me spitting on those rules" she said with an ever so sweet smile before flashing towards them.
Rebekah sat on the bar counter as she had her little mirror in her hand, fixing her makeup and cleaning whatever blood was on her face. She forgot how messy she could be sometimes.
Suddenly the doors burst open but that was hardly anything to spook Rebekah because she was expecting Marcel to show up with his guardians behind him, she smirked with victory, knowing that she spooked him enough to not come here alone.
"I envy you Marcel, its not everyday you find vampires waiting to die to save your sorry ass"
He smirked and had his guys close the doors "It comes with the territory I guess"
"I suppose…" she trailed off before closing her little mirror and placing it in her purse before directing her eyes to the front doors where Marcel and two men stood, watching her.
"Ladies and gentlemen, well just gentlemen because let's face it, Bekah darling, you may be a woman but you are no lady" Rebekah rolled her eyes at his words "This is Rebekah Mikaelson. She is, just like Klaus, a thousand years old, one of the originators of our kind, the strongest, deadliest vampires on the planet" his voice held command, admiration and longing "Beautiful isn't she?" he ended with a softer tone, more gentle.
Rebekah smirked. She flashed in front of Marcel, his men quick to move but Marcel stopped them by the wave of a hand.
"Once upon a time, you would enter the room and my thighs would shiver in excitement and longing…" she trailed off as she cocked her head to one side "Now they barely flinch to the sound of your name" she shook her head "You've lost your touch" she smirked "I spent my summer in a threesome so I know I'm not the problem" she chuckled.
"I'm think they just need a little jump start" he whispered.
She smirked "I suppose you have a point…but I don't sleep with backstabbers"
"The Mikaelson family thing…never betray a Mikaelson, they'll hold it over you until you're dead" Marcel smirked "Maybe even longer"
"My reasons for being here is not for revenge...wait, not completely for revenge. Actually, I plan on staying here until Nik and Elijah sees fit to leave so I think we should get some ground rules down since I'm going to be here awhile, I know how much you love rules" she smirked and looked around at the heartless vampires that lay on the floor in front of her.
"I see that" he stated.
"Fantastic, rule number one. I won't kill anymore vampires unless they threaten my life or the life of anyone in my protection. I will send their heads to you just to let you know what they've done. The second one you'll find out when I leave, the third, if any vampire follows me around like a lost puppy, I will send you their hearts in little red boxes with a white bow and the last, make no attempt to seduce me to your bed, it will not nor will it ever happen, are we clear?" her voice was as soft and silky as honey as she spoke to Marcel, as if taunting him with it and it was working, because as much as he would love to show her just how much power he has here, he found himself happily complying to her termms
"Fantastic" she beamed before walking past him and to the doors. She stood, awaiting for the men to allow her to pass and when they didn't move a muscle she spoke.
"Are you going to move your legs or do I have to remove your hearts?" she snapped at them.
"Guys, let her pass" Marcel said sweetly.
The shared a look before moving away from the door and allowing Rebekah to exit the bar with a mocking smile and a sarcastic wave.
Marcel sighed heavily and looked at the mess she had made in her bar.
"Clean everything up" Marcel ordered and his guys quickly went on their way.
Suddenly, one of his guys, Diego came to him "Marcel, you have to see this"
Marcel walked side by side with Diego to the middle of the bar where he signalled Marcel to turn left only to see a row of hearts lined up against the wall.
The wall itself had a message painted in blood.
I spit on your rules and attempt to remind me of it again and you'll be headless and heartless like you already are, xoxo Rebekah.
That night, after an entire day of an internal debate with herself and whether she should just go and find out for herself how he felt because this was their child, not just hers or his but theirs and she wanted to know his opinion, scratch that, she needed his opinion. His words not actions. That even as Elijah left on some business and Rebekah returned with orders to keep an eye on Hayley. She went well on her way to find Klaus's room but that was like finding a tiny needle in a giant haystack. After going in circles endlessly, Rebekah decided to put her out of her misery and tell her where his room was located.
She took a couple of deep breaths as she stood in front of his bedroom door, or his alleged bedroom door because Rebekah could be pulling one on her. She was going to knock when the door swung open.
"I told you…" he froze when he saw who was standing at his door.
She smiled shyly at him "Hi"
Nothing, not even a blink.
"Can I come in?" she asked cautiously.
Still nothing…
Suddenly, he blinked rapidly and moved back, then pulling the door with him, invited her in.
She walked in with a smile, taking in every bit of his room in. The bed was right in front of her, in the front there was a fireplace, to the left side of the bed there was a dresser and a door to either a closet or a bathroom and opposite that wall was another door. The room glowed with the fireplace and the amber lighting in the room mixed with the mixture of sepia brown and chocolate brown. The dark abstract paintings on the wall showed the darkness in him but the rest of the room basically screamed him. She felt comfortable there.
She turned around to further study his room when she came face to face with him, their noses were so close. Almost touching.
They just stood there, staring at each other, she was taking in his eyes and his eyes were constantly jumping as if he wanted to look somewhere but fought not to.
She hated awkward silences.
"So?" she asked.
His face formed into confusion so she looked down and placed a hand on her stomach. He sucked in a breath, not ready to deal with that, not wanting to tell her what he thought just yet because even he did not know what to think of it.
"Rebekah told me of your reaction to the news of Hayley's pregnancy and I can't help but think your reaction was more or less the same but Elijah insists on thinking that it's a good reaction and I'm not sure because you haven't said anything and I'm freaking out about it whole day, I've been going over and over this conversation in my head countless times and I don't know what's going to happen next because you're unpredictable and impulsive and you still haven't said anything about it and I know that maybe you don't want it and I'm fine with that, I just wanted you to know and I just wanted to know your thoughts…"
He flashed in front of her, she gasped in surprise, still working with human reflexes as she looked into his eyes seeing determination in them.
His features that were once stone cold now softened "Caroline, I assure you, that is not the case and you should never allow those thoughts to enter your mind ever again"
She nodded but still wanted to hear what he thought about it, was he happy, sad, angry, confused, it was hard to tell from a man who showed very little facial expression.
"I just want to know how you feel about this" she said softly and calmly.
He hesitated.
He opened his mouth, several times and shut it immediately.
Through his hearing, he heard the sound of the doorbell and sighed in relief.
"Someone's at the door, excuse me" he said before flashing out of the room before Caroline had the chance to even stop him. She turned around with a huff and exited his room, closing the door behind her.
Elijah took a sip of his glass of bourbon and smiled at Marcel.
"So, why don't you tell me what can I help you with?" Marcel asked, using hand gestures.
"Well, I have something important to deal with and I need the assistance of a witch. The strongest witches in the United States resides here and since you control the witches around here, I was wondering if I can borrow one for 24 hours"
"Would you like to share with the class what secret project you're working on or is it family only…" Marcel trailed off knowingly.
"You were once family…" Elijah trailed off.
"To be honest I do miss our little conversations Elijah" he signalled one of his men on the far end of the bar to bring them and the man disappeared behind a door before coming out with a young girl, no more than sixteen years of age, beautiful but oddly calm.
"Meet Davina, she might be able to help you with whatever you need" Marcel smiled and winked at her. She smirked in return.
"You're one of the old ones, I can feel it" she stated.
"A pleasure to meet you too" he smiled before turning to Marcel "I think we're done here, thank you for your services" he turned and stood from his chair only to gasp loudly with wide eyes and his mouth formed an 'O' as he stared at the girl in front of him who apparently had a dagger in her possession.
He fell to the ground with the dagger lodged in his chest and Davina kept her eyes down at him before looking up to meet Marcel's.
"Nice job Davina, now that he's out of the way, let's work on finding something that can permanently get rid of them" he smirked and she smiled with a nod.
Klaus opened the door as Rebekah made her way to the stairs and Klaus's eyes grew wide, at least two sides wide, his bottom jaw dropped and he staggered in his stance a bit. No one had ever gotten this kind of reaction from him and this particular situation was a special one, because never has he seen a vampire been staked or burnt and alive and well to this day, apart from him of course but he was an original, but this, this topped the pregnancy news 10 fold.
"Guess who's back with new toys to play with?" said the voice by the door, its thick with accent and playfulness and Rebekah paused in her steps as she heard it, not believing what she had just heard.
"Kol" Klaus breathed out.
"Did yah miss me, big brother?" Kol asked a playful glint in his chocolate brown eyes.
