Ya, so I got a lot of reads from just a couple of hours of the story being posted. So I decided to put up the next one. So here it is.
Klaus' POV
When I arrived to the meeting the the witch, I didn't expect it to be an ambush. I entered the room and I saw them, Camille and Caroline trapped, beaten and bruised. I felt the anger build up inside me. How could these witches think to pull a fast one me. I look over at Elijah and he gives me a look to calm down and kill everyone in this room right away. I look back at the witch and she gives me a cruel smile.
"For your sins, Klaus you must choose on to save," She said as she circled around the girls. Moving the stake up and down Camille's arm and the same with Caroline. I clench my jaw and fight the urge to rip her heart out. My look at both girls and they linger on Camille as she looks like she is about to cry.
"MAKE THE CHOICE, YOUR MAJESTY!" The witch screams at me. I look at Elijah hoping he will have a plan so I can save both. If it came down to it I know who I would choose. Elijah looks at Camille and then Caroline. I see the pity in eyes because one of them might die.
"Kl-Klaus, pl-please. Pic-pick m-m-me," Camille cries out. She doesn't want to die. She I human she should never even have been a target. I don't want her die. I look over at Caroline and I see her creep forward. I know what she is plotting and I freeze. I don't want her to do this! I see all the memories I have of her. I remember her lying on her bed on the brink of death. Her voice so small saying she doesn't want to die. My mind goes to all the arguments we had and the champagne we drank. They all become one big swirl of loving memoirs. Till finally my mind is thinking of one thing. How much I don't want her to die.
"Kill me," I hear Caroline say. I want to scream out in rage and say no. but I can't it is like my body in paralyzed. I know that if I jump in to save her Camille will die. But if I do nothing Caroline dies. I see the witch preparing to kill Caroline. I do a quick sweep of the room shows that my family has accepted she going to die. But I refuse. I keep think of the baby vampire who didn't want to die. I desperately want Caroline to look me. To know that I love her, but as the witch raises the stake to kill her. She still doesn't look at me.
The hand raise and I lose it. I run behind the witch and rip her heart. She falls the ground with a thump. I look down to see Caroline finally meet my gaze. Her eyes look at me with gratefulness, confusion and anger. I know will have a lot of explaining to due later. But for right now Caroline is safe. Elijah knocks both her and Camille out. Rebekah and Hayley take them to my mansion but not before Rebekah snarls at me for almost letting Caroline die. I never thought my sister liked Caroline but then again my sister isn't the best at making friends. I think Caroline might be the closest thing she has to a friend. Me, Marcel and my brothers take care of everyone else in that room. By the end of it the room is drowning in blood. A part of me should be worried about the repercussions but it is muted by the rest of me that wanted to protect Caroline. Unfortunately protecting her was the easy part. Getting her to forgive me for hesitating is going to be the biggest challenge of my life.
It think about all the things I want to say to Caroline as I rush home. Finally when I go inside, my sister greets me with a pity look. I pause hoping she will give me more context when I hear the shouting coming from the library.
