Hello, Hello everyone, I had originally planned to publish this yesterday but I feel asleep too early...sowwy :)

AvalonTheLadyKiller, I loved your review the most because it was long and hella funny. Klaus's head is so far up his ass that he can't see what's in front of him if it was slapped across his face.

Now I really don't like the slap Hayley gave to Elijah in the recent Originals episode but come on, that was unexpected. I was actually waiting for Elijah to attack her or something, not just take it. I know Julie's cooking something for them and she's messing with my baby. No messing with Lijah!

Quick Question, anyone else feeling like Katherine is a cat with 9 lives?

Chapter 9- Bonds

Two Weeks Later…

It had taken a lot of her to ask Marcel this but she needed to get out of the house. She was pleasantly surprised that he had agreed to it but he did want her to be a normal teenager. He was preparing the home they once called home for the Mikaelson's for when they were ready to move back in. She wasn't angry at Marcel for wanting the family he once had back. She knew how broken up about it he was. To know the truth and the fact that they did care for him, really made him happy. She saw that and she was happy for him.

She was glad to want his family back but she wanted her magic back. She wanted to feel normal.

Some witches believed that with the power, they could never be normal. Davina was different. She didn't feel normal without her magic. She felt odd, out of place, confused. Her magic made her feel normal. Being a witch was normal for her. She had grown up knowing that she was a witch. It was natural for her. To not have magic, to have this empty dark hole in her chest, it felt awful and depressing and sad.

She knew why the Bennett witch took her magic from her and she had the time to think on it to respect her decision.

The Bennett witch was a witch of spiritual magic. She called upon the spirits of her ancestors and nature all around her and that was where her source of power came from. They did what was necessary to protect the balance of nature as well as protect their own.

Davina used her magic to sense when a witch was using theirs and when they were discovered, Marcel would kill them because of their disobedience. She was the reason why so many witches have died in New Orleans. Marcel raised her when he didn't have to. He treated her as if she was his daughter. Protected her. Cared for her. Loved her. She wanted to be thankful by doing what was requested of her.

Having Marcel tell her constantly that she was the strongest witch alive gave her confidence but that confidence turned into cockiness and she had seen that. If she had not been cocky that day, she would have still had her magic. She would have known never to cross a Bennett Witch.

She was being driven to the Mikaelson Mansion for one reason. To ask the Bennett witch for her magic back. She hated feeling empty and void. She hated feeling like the living dead without her magic.

This was why she knocked on the door twice and waited. Standing tall and proud in her white sun dress and white sandals with two of Marcel's most trusted men standing behind her. She didn't need them. She didn't want them there, but she had to at least see them as something positive and not a constant shadow behind her all the time.

The door opened slowly to reveal Elijah Mikaelson. He was a bit surprised by her presence but he quickly recovered to plaster a heart warming smile on his handsome face. She now understood why the witches always said that Elijah was the most pleasant of the Originals. He was the most calm and welcoming.

"Good Morning Davina" he greeted, holding the door open a little wider while stretching out his hand towards her.

She hesitantly placed her hand in his as he placed a light kiss on her knuckles. She almost blushed. Almost.

"Good morning Elijah. I wanted to see the Bennett Witch" she asked hesitantly as Elijah helped her to enter the house. However Elijah had stood in front of the door, to further emphasize that her bodyguards were not allowed inside.

Davina turned around and noticed the silent agreement they had but she wanted to further ensure him that she meant no harm to none of them.

"Diego and Thierry, go back home and tell Marcel that I will call when I am ready to leave, he knows he has nothing to worry about" She smiled in hopes that they would leave without a fight and hesitation.

They both slowly looked at one another before turning around and leaving in their car. Elijah turned with a smile "Thank you. We all like our privacy in this mansion"

"Slightly odd considering you all have enhancing hearing and don't have such luxury" she stated in a calm tone and a small tiny smirk.

He chuckled lightly before closing the door behind him and walking up to her standing position.

"I do not like being referred to as the Bennett Witch. Try to remember that" Bonnie said, making her entrance from up the stairs as she made her way down the stairs.

"How did you…" She trailed off and both Bonnie and Kol cut her off.

"Kol" they both stated simultaneously.

"You want your magic back" Bonnie stated with confidence, before reaching the girl's standing position and looking down at her with a tiny sad smile "Don't you?"

"Yes" she replied confidently with a nod.

Bonnie looked up to Elijah "Will it be okay if I took her to the back of the house. The weather is absolutely beautiful today and I want to have a talk with her"

"Of course, please" he replied, signalling her to move forward with Bonnie.

Bonnie smiled down at her and escorted her to the back. She didn't want to draw too much attention to the girl so instead of passing near the kitchen, she passed through the front door, Elijah immediately understood her choice of route but if she was trying to hide her away from Niklaus, that would have been a bit difficult considering that he could feel his brother's eyes on him from up the stairs. He waited until they were completely out of the door before he looked up with a smirk to his brother who was shirtless and had a drink in his hand.

"A little early for a drink" Elijah stated, signalling to the drink in his hand.

"Circumstances of my current living situation demands it" he smirked shaking his glass in salute to Elijah "Who's that girl?"

"A friend of Bonnie's, nothing to concern yourself about" Elijah replied, while walking off to the kitchen.

It was not like Klaus to leave well enough alone and Elijah knew that well.

Bonnie allowed Davina to sit down before taking a seat on the beach chairs in the back. Taking in the sweet smell of nature around her was refreshing and relaxing.

"It smells good doesn't it?" Sheila asked her, smiling down at her.

"Yea, it does. I forgot how much I loved nature" she sighed in content.

"Who are you talking to?" Davina asked her while looking around for anyone.

"My dead grandmother" she replied quite calmly. She turned to meet Davina's wild confused eyes "I recently came back from the dead and this is the price I pay. I can now see any superaturnal person that's on the other side, I'm assuming you know what that is?" she asked.

Davina nodded.

"She has dark magic in her. It's being stifled within her" Sheila noticed, looking at the girl intently "If she doesn't release it, she'll kill herself with her own magic"

Bonnie nodded.

"What?" Davina asked, confused by her nod.

"My grams says that you have another power source in you but its being choked somehow. Either by magic or by you. When you do magic, it somehow comes out with your expression magic. You can either let it out without the help of another type of magic, completely get rid of it which involves a very painful detoxing or you can do what I did" Bonnie smiled sadly at her.

"What did you do?" she asked, curious.

"I controlled it. Dark magic feeds off your anger and pain. You control your anger and your pain and you control the magic"

After Klaus was finished with his drink, he spotted Caroline sitting on the staircase with a book in her hands. She was currently reading 'Like Water For Chocolate', and she was reading the book, intently.

"What are you reading, love?" Klaus asked her as he joined her on the staircase.

"Oh… It's a book I read back in highschool… It is actually my favorite." Caroline told him as she shut the book and turned to Klaus.

"What is it about?" He wondered.

"A woman who is forbidden to marry the love of her life." She replied.

"But is he really the love of her life? The male character?" Klaus asked, partially interested but really was trying to make conversation with her. She's been in the house for a while now and they barely spoke for longer than five minutes without her mentioning the growing child in her stomach. He hadn't even processed it yet and was scared to death at even voicing his thoughts because he had yet to find out what his thoughts were.

"His name is Pedro, and I don't know… I feel like maybe he is, but then again maybe not."

"Why's that?" Klaus asked as he took the book out of her hands and turned to the back.

"Earthy, magical, and utterly charming, this tale of family life in turn-of-the-century Mexico became a bestselling phenomenon with its winning blend of poignant romance and bittersweet wit. This classic-of course- this classic love story takes place on the De la Garza ranch, as the tyrannical owner, Mama Elena, chops onions at the kitchen table in her final days of pregnancy. While still in her mother's womb, her daughter-to-be weeps so violently she causes an early labor, and little Tita slips out amid the spices and fixings for noodle soup. This early encounter with food soon becomes a way of life, and Tita grows up to be a master chef. She shares special points of her favorite preparations with listener throughout the story." He finally finished reading the long summary and took a breath.

Caroline laughed as Klaus coughed because of the loss of breath he got after reading without stopping.

"Sounds like a cookbook." He told her honestly.

"I'm shocked! A one thousand year old Hybrid never read this book? It came out in the twentieth century…"

"Well, Caroline… I was a bit of a party guy in that time period. I'll definitely give this book a try, though."

"Sure you will," she said sarcastically.

"No, really… I will. I want to see if what this Tita girl and her love Pedro have is love or lust. I want to see if it's physical or true." He responded.

"Do you mind if I spoil you?" She questioned.

"Go ahead," he said as he gave her a reassuring smile.

"Pedro's an ass and they have a physical attraction. Personally, she should have chosen Dr. Brown." She stated her opinion.

"And who is this Dr. Brown gentleman?"

"Well, he's a doctor that actually cares for Tita."

Klaus suddenly shook his head and Caroline tilted her head at him, confused.

"Something wrong?" She asked.

"Deja Vu… I just got a flashback. I did read this book… The Spanish version, though."

"Oh…" She laughed.

"I'll have to agree with you on that bit. Dr. Brown would have been the better choice, but you know women… Always looking for something physical." He sighed as he handed the book back to her.

"Hey! That is not true." she snapped at him. "If anything, a man is the one that looks for something physical."

"Yeah… Okay," he nodded.

Caroline smiled at him and he reciprocated the smile.

"Hey Caroline… I was wondering if maybe you'd join me."

"For what?" She wondered.

"I want to show you my home." He told her.

"Um… Aren't we in your home?" She questioned as she gestured towards the mansion.

"Not quite… It used to be the governor's mansion." He replied.

"Oh… Sure, I'd love to get out of the house."

"Good, come on." He said as he stood up and outstretched his hand for her to take.

The blonde smiled at him and put her hand into his own.

"I'll give you some time…" He told her before he excused himself.

Caroline nodded as she entered her bedroom.

Once Klaus and Caroline were at the Mikaelson mansion, her eyes widened. She has never seen something so magnificent. It was totally suited for the Mikaelson's. Even the 'M' on the walls screamed the Originals.

"Do you like it?" The Original asked her hopefully.

"I love it. This place… It looks so beautiful. So ancient…" Her voice drifted.

"It's not that ancient, but yes… I guess you can say that."

"Klaus!" Marcel greeted him with a big smile on his lips.

"Marcel," Klaus said, acknowledging the vampire.

Caroline looked at the 'M' then back at Marcel, realizing that she thought it was Klaus's family name but she should have thought that the 'M' stood for Marcel.

"The 'M' is for Marcel?" she asked, anyways. Wanting to be completely sure of her guess.

"No" both Marcel and Klaus said in unison.

Marcel beamed at Caroline, "The 'M' is for Mikaelson"

Klaus smiled along with Marcel at his words.

"Come on… Let me show you around." He smiled.

"Caroline?" Klaus asked.

"Hm?" She asked, still transfixed on the beautiful sight that was the Mikaelson Mansion.

"Do you want a tour?"

"Yeah! I'd love one!" She said as she beamed up at him.

"Good,"

"Follow me." Marcel said as he motioned towards the entrance.

As they entered the mansion, Marcel showed them the different famous paintings. The many different rooms and the stories behind them. Caroline didn't quite favour the history of the women Klaus would bed and wanted to yell at Marcel to stop but she didn't want to seem rude. Her hormones were on overdrive and she doubted they cared about being mannered at that bedrooms were the most beautiful because they had the largest beds she has ever seen. They all had white sheets and many pillows and she just wanted to sleep right there for days. Maybe have a pillow fight or two. The lighting that entered the room made it even more beautiful to look at. The atmosphere was magical overall. She wanted to ask the reason why he was living in a governor's mansion instead of his own home, but decided against it. Klaus hadn't been there in a while and Marcel has. He must have taken it on himself to live there and Klaus didn't seem to be the least bit affected by it. Which was completely odd considering the control freak he actually was.

Then again, Caroline didn't have much of a say in that department..

"Wow," Caroline said.

"Isn't she a beauty?" Marcel questioned as a brilliant smile seemed to light up his face.

"Yes," Caroline agreed.

"So now the mansion has a gender?" Klaus questioned, jokingly.

"Yup," Marcel winked.

After their tour was over, Caroline left the two men to their devices as she looked around some more. Smiling politely at the many vampires that stared at her as if she was lunch but didn't try anything more than reciprocate her smile..

"I hope you don't mind that I call the mansion a she…" Marcel said.

"I don't," Klaus reassured him.

"Hey Klaus…?" Marcel said.

Klaus turned to look at Marcel with a small smile.

"If you want her back, by all means… Take her." He told him.

Klaus was taken aback by the sudden change in Marcel. The boy he raised now stood in front of him. He was cheerful. Happy. Loyal. Loving. Everything that Klaus wanted in his little warrior.

"I'll think about it." He said before departing with Caroline by his side.

Klaus walked up to the girls with his signature smirk and Bonnie sighed in frustration. She did not need Klaus to come and frighten the girl to death, because that was what he was doing at that exact moment.

"Hello there, who might you be?" he asked, in a curious tone.

Bonnie eyed him cautiously.

"Davina" She replied, she held her head up high, knowing exactly who she was speaking to.

"I see Bonnie here has made some friends with the witches in this town" he smirked, glancing quickly at Bonnie who wanted to shoot flames out of her eyes at him.

With the power she had, she might even succeed.

"She's helping me with my magic" Davina smiled, taking a quick glance at Bonnie before returning her gaze to Klaus.

"I'm sure she is" Klaus agreed.

"Klaus, if you don't mind, we'd like to be left alone" Bonnie snarled.

"We're forgetting that this is my house and I go and stay when I please" he countered, not bothering to take his eyes off Davina or to even give Bonnie a warning glance.

"I haven't forgotten, I just don't care" Bonnie told him as she stood her ground.

Klaus eyes snapped sharply at Bonnie's direction "You…"

"Niklaus" Elijah called from the doorway behind them.

Bonnie and Davina turned in their chairs to see Elijah standing there with a calm expression, while looking straight at Klaus.

"What!?" Klaus snapped, his voice strained.

"We have matters to discuss"

Klaus was seething at the level of disrespect Bonnie was showing him but sighed in frustration and flashed away and into the house.

"Try to keep him in there" Bonnie stated, clearly talking to Elijah.

"Try not to test his level of restraint. There will be times where I am not here to remind him that you are one of Caroline's loved ones" Elijah countered with a smile before walking off.

Bonnie smirked and turned to face Davina "Now, where were we?"

The next day was calming, oddly. Nothing too dramatic happened. That was a lot of progress considering that Caroline was living with the most dysfunctional family on the planet.

The person she was having a little difficulty having around was Katherine.

Katherine was stuck up, a bitch, conniving, selfish and a self centered 500 year old vampire but with great hair. She may look like Elena but they were absolutely nothing alike.

What she was most uncomfortable with was Katherine's stares. She would just sit on the couch and stare at Caroline as if she was a complicated work of art or something. She wouldn't say anything but that didn't mean she wasn't creeped out about it. It just meant that she wasn't going to make a big deal about it. Most of the time she felt that Katherine wanted to say something to her but would back out of it. She thought many times about going to Elijah about this but she decided against it. Elijah was a friendly person but sometimes his presence was intimidating. She didn't like that. Not one bit.

In the days that she had been here, Katherine and Klaus completely avoided each other. They did not talk to one another, they did not look at one another, they did not even breathe the same air for longer than five minutes. It was as if they both were disgusted with each other. Caroline had asked Klaus one day why he was avoiding her but Klaus acted as though he didn't know she was in the room.

Had it got to a point where they could even forget that they didn't exist to each other anymore?

How could they do that? It wasn't like she could walk around and pretend that she didn't see Tyler sitting there or Hayley lying there. She couldn't pretend that she didn't see them both just sitting there. She couldn't. She saw them and they saw her and no one talked and it was completely awkward.

The next day, Caroline was in the kitchen eating the Original's chocolate supply when both Katherine and Klaus walked into the room.

At the same time.

Together.

That made her freeze in her movements. The spoon was at the tip of her lips, filled with chocolate ready to tingle her taste buds, but the sight of them both approaching her made her nervous and wary.

"Elijah and I are going out, Kol and Bonnie are snooping around by the witches and Rebekah's stalking Marcel. Hayley and Tyler can't leave the house but I don't trust either of them…" Katherine cut him off.

"And you trust me?" she asked incredulously with a scoff.

"I don't trust you either but Elijah does unfortunately to look after Caroline till we get back" he retorted with a sneer before fixing his gaze at the blonde beauty.

"I may be human but I'm not an invalid Klaus, I can take care of myself" Caroline stated.

"The hot iron that was lodged in my back confirmed that but I'm more worried about both the Lockwood boy and Hayley being in the same room as you" he smirked, causing a tiny smirk of satisfaction to curl on the side of Caroline's lips in memory of that night.

"Besides" Katherine sighed dramatically and a smirk was blessed on her lips "We wouldn't want two pregnant and hormonal women trying to rip out each other's throats, would we?"

"Unlike you Katherine, I know how to be a lady" Caroline smirked, causing Katherine's smirk to fall off her face immediately.

Klaus chuckled "Have fun" he laughed before leaving the room.

There she went again. Staring at her, as if trying to figure her out.

Caroline felt like she' was a puzzle that needed to be figured out at that exact moment. She was sitting on the couch in the living area, reading 'Like Water For Chocolate'.

Hayley was sitting opposite her, on her laptop, or someone's laptop. She seemed invested in what she was doing and as long as she did not talk to her, Caroline was fine with that.

Katherine was standing by the doorway, watching them both, but mostly Caroline, studying her like she was some sort of experiment.

"Are you planning on standing there for the remainder of the day?" Hayley snapped, closing the laptop down and turning around to face Katherine who smirked at her outburst.

"As requested of me" was her reply with a little sarcasm in her tone "I heard you pissed Elijah off…" Katherine said in an innocent tone, her words trailed off intentionally.

"You were there"

"Very true" Katherine smirked "You got the punishment, I got the reward" her smirk grew bigger.

"Ew, Katherine" Caroline said with a grimace at the visual she got in her head.

"Don't be such a mom, Blondie" Katherine sneered "You and I both know what it's like to be with an Original" she smirked.

"Hello?" Hayley called, waving her hand as if they forgot something, or someone.

Both Caroline and Katherine looked at her before looking up at each other. Katherine smirked in realisation of what she meant by pointing herself out. It was a way to rile Caroline up, but she didn't seem fazed by it at all. Which slightly surprised Katherine because if she had done something like that regarding Elijah, she would have launched herself at her already.

Right, no fighting. Pregnant.

"Sweetheart, we're talking about all-nighters, not a ten minute itch-to-scratch"

Caroline smirked at that before she suddenly stood up, feeling a little hungry and went straight to the kitchen, Katherine followed behind, not wanting to be in Hayley's presence anymore.

Caroline opened the fridge door, knowing fully well that Katherine was following her and pulled out a jar of chocolate ice cream. Thank god for Rebekah and her sudden chocolate ice cream obsession.

Although, she would like to think that had something to do with her hot chocolate friend, or old friend.

Caroline got a spoon from the drawer, pulled a stool to the kitchen isle and sat down while opening the ice-cream and eating from it, curbing her huge appetite.

But as the minutes passed, so did the awkwardness in the room. She didn't want to talk to Katherine altogether because it might bring up some not so appetizing discussions she rather not get into. She'd like to avoid a breakdown for 24 hours, thank you very much!

It got to a point where Caroline suddenly just got fed up of the tension filled silent room.

"Katherine stop staring at me" Caroline snapped at her, turning sideways to glance at her. She seemed taken aback by her outburst "If you have something to say, say it already so we can both get on with our lives" she added a little more softly.

The tension in the room suddenly got even thicker after her outburst.

"Why?" she heard Katherine ask. It was a soft and almost quiet voice.

Caroline looked up with confusion.

"Why did you ask Klaus to spare me? I killed you, if anything he should be torturing me instead of sparing me" Katherine explained further.

Caroline sighed in defeat, knowing that if she didn't answer, she would continually try to figure it out herself, which would not end well.

"Firstly, I didn't talk Klaus into anything. Secondly, if I did. It would not have been for you. I did it for Elijah"

Of course she didn't do it for Katherine. She could care less what happened to the bitch. However Elijah has been nice to her, treated her like family, oddly and although he walked around there like he was fine with everything, she could see a little sadness in his eyes sometimes, especially when she talked to Elena on the phone and he passed by. She thought he had a thing for Elena but hearing the story about his relationship with Katherine clarified that Elijah was fully interested in his beloved Katarina.

"You're a bad liar" Katherine stated, obviously noticing her slip-up with her words. Caroline chose to ignore that and internally scolded herself for that little slip-up.

"Then Rebekah managed to let it slip from her lips that Hayley might have a thing for him, so I figured, it was either you or" Caroline grimaced as the image of Hayley and Elijah flew through her mind "Her".

"Hell would freeze over before she got anywhere near Elijah with her fertile grimy womb" Katherine scoffed with mocking laughter.

"Elijah is too old for her, pun intended" Caroline smirked, causing her to smirk as well.

"Yet Klaus isn't too old for you..." Katherine joked...with a sarcastic gasp.

Caroline scoffed "Whatever".
They went silent after a while, Katherine was just looking around, Caroline looking down in the ice cream in her hand, no one dared to talk.

"I know how you feel" was Katherine's voice, a bit softer and almost sympathetic.

Caroline's head snapped up at her in confusion.

"The level of emotion you're feeling right now, the pain, the constant morning sickness, all of it. It won't last forever you know and I think you're a lot tougher than you look if you can keep cool for so long without breaking down" Katherine knew this to be true because after her first month of being with child, she broke down at least six times a day for months, especially at the little things, like how beautiful a flower was, how terrible she felt after she killed an ant or a fly, she was an emotional wreck and Caroline rarely cried, always on her feet and never backed down from a fight, even in her condition.

Caroline chose not to respond to her words but felt a sense of pride knowing that even in her eyes, she was strong. Not that she needed to prove anything to Katherine, Caroline no longer saw her as a threat, she stopped seeing her as one the night of the masquerade ball when she finally stood up to her.

Still it was nice to know that Katherine knew that if she ever started looking to pick a fight with her, she was going to get it.

Suddenly, Caroline let out a laugh, Katherine was confused by where she was finding her source of amusement and hoped that even though she was trying to be nice to her, she was right out mocking her in her face.

"It's funny, you know, you and I bonding when you suffocated me with a pillow"

Katherine did see the humor in that. She had actually hoped that by turning Caroline, Damon would have killed her and took all the attention from her and on Caroline, but she was wrong. Not only had she survived, she got the attention of Klaus Mikaelson of all the vampires on the planet and got her the freedom she wanted for five hundred years, she was not regretting her decision at all.

"If you're waiting for an apology, you're not getting one" Katherine stated "I'm not going to apologize for killing you because if I didn't, I would not be here today"

"Babysitting?" Caroline asked, with sarcasm.

Katherine rolled her eyes "A free woman. Elijah asked me very nicely to watch you" she said in a calm tone "Although now that I think about it, I think this was his way of attempting to get me to bond with you or something"

"I still hate you" Caroline scoffed.

Katherine smirked "Rainbows and kittens are not my kind of women either" she flipped some of her hair behind her shoulders "Now all we need to do is convince Elijah"

Klaus stood outside Caroline's bedroom and raised his fist to knock on her door, but quickly pulled away. Maybe she didn't want to talk to him. Maybe she was still angry at him. Why was she angry at him to begin with? Oh right, he wanted Katherine's head on a silver platter. He wanted her head embalmed and placed above his fireplace for decorative purposes. It would certainly be of better use there than where it currently was.

Elijah had spent the better of his day, convincing him that he could trust her with Caroline in a house alone while she was pregnant with his child. That if she should lose her mind and harm Caroline in any way, not only will he be able to torture Katherine but Elijah would help his suit and everything.

That wouldn't be enough, nothing was worth more than her, he realized. It was a scary thought for him, completely terrifying. To value her more than anything, even taking back his kingdom. He shouldn't have cared about her more but he did.

She once said that he was in love with her. Could he be and not know it? Was he so lost in his own misery that he no longer recognized how love felt like?

Regardless he still didn't trust the Petrova, but on some level he did trust Elijah. His entire life he trusted Elijah. The only times he ever doubted Elijah would be to issues regarding their family and Katarina. Everytime Elijah and Klaus never saw eye to eye or hated each other would be because of their family or because of that doppelganger. Klaus had been so hell bent on his hatred for her, he never cared about his brother's feelings. Not until that night.

Caroline had struck him where it hurt. She had found something yet again about him that he himself didn't know. The fact that he made sure that his own sister wasn't happy just because he wasn't suddenly did make him realize why his sister hated him so much sometimes.

It also enlightened him as to why she liked Elijah more than him sometimes.

Elijah's main goal was to see them all happy, including Rebekah and her whims. He couldn't care less about what she wanted and in return he got her hate instead of her love.

Klaus was about to walk away from her bedroom, but decided against it when he heard her heartbeat. Her heartbeat wasn't beating erratically and he was thankful for that.

As the Original knocked on her door, he heard Caroline call for him to come in.

Once he was inside her bedroom, he leaned against the doorway and gave her a small smile.

"Is something wrong?" She asked him as she put her the book to the side.

"Oh… Everything is fine… I just wanted to check on you." He told her. "Still reading that classic, huh?"

"Yep! And why?"

"No reason," he replied as he shrugged "How are you feeling?" He questioned as he motioned to her still invisible belly.

"Horrible, I'm sick all the time, every bone in my body is in pain constantly, I'm always tired, I feel useless, I'm eating five times my own body weight, my emotions are all over the place but overall, I'm just peachy" she beamed with the biggest fake smile in the world.

He chuckled "I'm almost sure those symptoms don't last long sweetheart, you're strong, you'll get through it"

"I know they don't last long but I just... I miss Elena, that's all" and she did, she missed seeing her and hearing her around her. Katherine may look and sound like her but they were absolutely nothing alike. She missed her best friend and the fact that she couldn't share these news with her was killing her from the inside out.

"You can give her a call" Klaus said.

"Bonnie says that I can't trust anything right now, Silas is looking for me as well" Klaus seemed interested now "He thinks that because you…" she pointed to him, uncomfortable with even voicing the fact that Klaus, a thousand year old hybrid, the Original Hybrid had feelings for her "He thinks that I would know where you are because no one else knows in Mystic Falls"

He nodded, understanding her failure to finish her first sentence and the reasons why Silas would believe that she knew where he was. Because of course he would tell her in hopes that she came with him or decided in the near future to accompany him.

"I can't talk to Elena without her asking where I am and the possibility that Silas might still be in Mystic Falls, watching them" she shook her head "Not voice to voice"

"I see… Don't worry, love… You'll get through this."

Caroline nodded and she looked over at him sadly.

"What's wrong?" He asked her.

"Listen Klaus… If you don't want to be apart of our child's life, I'm not forcing you… I just thought you should know…"

"Caroline, don't be silly! I am not going to leave you or our child" He sighed.

"Are you sure?" She whispered.

"No." He said and her hopefulness vanished. "You have my word" He added as a smile graced her lips.

"Let's watch the movie." Caroline told him.

"What movie?" He asked.

Caroline reached for the book and shook it at him.

"Let's," he agreed as he joined her on the bed.

Silas sighed in content with a bright smile that could light a room if only it wasn't filled with malice and evil.

He had tortured, killed, many times, gutted and even played mind tricks with Damon just to get him to give up the city in which the Originals, mainly Klaus had migrated to. He realized that all Damon's head was filled with, of all the questions he could have asked, he kept asking, kept wondering…"Where's my brother"

So Silas chose a different method, he bargained the life of his brother's in return for the information he needed and he got it. Of course that meant his shadow self would be running around but that was of little importance to him now and hopefully with the plans he had in store, he wouldn't need to worry about him in the future.

Before heading to New Orleans, he needed to find a witch, a powerful one at that too. The Bennett witch died so that only left one other possible witch to do the spell he wanted, but to do that, he needed her human and sweet Caroline dropped off the face of the earth as well.

She was probably with her boyfriend, the hybrid boy, somewhere in the mountains. He would have some people look into the werewolf packs around the country but for now, his main goal was to find a witch, a strong one too.

He downed the last of his drink and sighed in relief when it slightly burned then soothed his insides. He paid for the drink and exited the grill in a cheerful mood, ready to start his journey.

He suddenly has the urge to cough, and he did. He put his palm to his mouth and let it out. Only to remove his hand from his mouth and find his own blood splattered in his palm. He realized that he needed to find a witch faster than he had thought.

I noticed that there's been less reviews than normal which I'm a little worried about, maybe you guys are giving up on us, I don't know.

Review lovelies, I would really like to know what you guys think.
