Chapter 8

The Mikaelson siblings quietly entered the mansion, only to conjugate around the foyer. The town clock had just struck midnight when the door opened. Rebekah being the first to arrive from her little babysitting mission, arms crossed until she noticed that Finn was with their brothers. The boys filed in quickly after her, not even giving her a few minutes peace. When she tried to speak, she was held back. Finn shook his head, signaling that now was not the time to talk.

So, they stood around in silence as Niklaus paced against the floor, muttering to himself. Elijah leaning against a wall, looked on at his brother, entirely at ease. Kol tapped his foot before also using the wall to hold his weight.

"Nik," Kol called out, not blinking as his brother's eyes flashed gold when he looked up towards him.

"She's vanished. We could not find a trace of her!" Niklaus growled, running a hand through his short hair.

"She'll come back, but I cannot say what her plan will be" Finn spoke softly to his siblings. His gaze settling on his half-brother, "Niklaus."

His younger brother continued to pace against the room. Why had he not taken the time to question Caroline? She could have known something that would be helpful! She was from eighty years into the bloody future. Surely even with the witchy interference she must have some memory that would help.

"Nik!" Finn yelled out, grabbing his younger brother's arm, forcing the hybrid to look into his brother's eyes. The two Mikaelson's stared at each other until the blonde finally pulled away from his brother.

"Finn," Niklaus growled.

"Brother, I think it's time that we talked."

"You betrayed me! You plotted against us with our mother. Sage being alive is the only reason you are still even here," Niklaus laughed hysterically.

"You put me into a coffin for 900 years, all for turning Sage!" Finn argued back, the two brothers pushing against each other. The rest of their siblings circled around them, waiting to step in if necessary.

The two arguing siblings began to circle around each other, neither taking their eyes off the other.

"You killed our mother," Finn spat as nine hundred years of Mikaelson family drama, hissed out of his mouth.

"She was ashamed of me, the sole reminder of her little tryst against Mikael's bigotry" Niklaus's tone turned towards cruelty. Finn could see the war within his brother, saw the little boy desperately seeking the approval of a man who would never give it. He saw the self-hatred of a young man whose cruelty found out that his entire existence shouldn't have been possible. The love and hate he held for their mother; whose lies were the catalyst for all of their pain.

"You could have done anything else! You butchered her" Finn rushed towards his brother, the two entering into a gridlock, as their hands pressed against the other's shoulders. Their siblings surrounding the cage match.

"She butchered me! She took away a part of me, brother," Niklaus hissed, pushing Finn away. His brother did not stay down, getting up and rushing back, grabbing him by the waist, slamming them into the wall.

"That wall was just painted!" Rebekah cried out, far more upset with the decorating being ruined than her brothers fighting, after a thousand years, some violence between family members was to be expected.

"Do you think they will dismember each other?" Kol asked eagerly, clapping his hands. His eyes followed the quick flashes of his brothers' tumbling against the walls with excitement. Elijah bent his head as his dominant hand came up and squeezed his nose. In an attempt to slow the headache, his family was causing. After a moment, Elijah walked towards the wrestling pair and pulled them apart.

"Are you done?" Elijah's aggravated voice asked.

"I'm sorry Caroline. I have to work the overnight shift. Call me when you get home?"

"Don't worry about it, Mom. I understand thank you for letting me help out Bonnie and her mom covering with the school for Friday."

They quickly said their goodbyes as the teen hung up her phone. It had occurred to her that as she passed the welcome sign to Mystic Falls, that she would once again be going home to a lonely house. Caroline knew her mom was busy with the murders, she understood it on a logical level. Yet it did not stop her from feeling hurt at how her work always came first.

At least she knew where she learned it from.

After the whole thing with Bonnie and Abby, the blonde definitely did not want to be alone. She was feeling on edge, she needed to be soothed and comforted. When Caroline finally parked her car, it was only as the vampire pulled the keys away from the engine that she realized where she ended up.

The Mikaelson Family Manor.

She looked up to the large building deciding that if she was smart that the blonde would reignite the engine and turn back. Klaus was not a soothing presence, but at the moment, neither were Bonnie or Elena. Having just spent the weekend helping Bonnie and her mom, the blonde knew they needed some time apart. Matt would just be awkward; he would try, but how can you understand something so disconnected from who you are? She always knew Matt would pull away from the supernatural one day; he was human. He deserved a happy, human life. She would not drag him further into the hole if she could help it.

Taking a grounding breath, the blonde decided that if her body managed to bring her here on autopilot, then here is exactly where she should be. The blonde nervously bites her lip as she slowly made her way towards the door. She stopped running from Klaus, she knew that she was attracted to him. Making the decision and actually acting on it in any meaningful capacity seemed to be Caroline's issue.

She knocked.

It would be rude to just enter, despite knowing that Klaus would not mind that did not mean his siblings would feel the same.

She was about to knock for a second time when the door was opened by a red-haired woman. The woman's eyes lit up, leaning against the doorframe, "You must be the infamous Caroline Forbes."

"Ah, you must be Sage," Caroline smiled, trying to ignore the ping of recognition from hearing about her death.

"I really must thank you. Apparently, you managed to somewhat tame the elitist bastards," The pair of vampires shared a laugh. Just as Niklaus could be heard yelling about bitchy peasants who don't know their place.

"I'm not interrupting, am I?" Caroline hesitated at the door, the last thing she wanted was to walk into the middle of a legendary Mikaelson family feud. The red-haired vampire scoffed, motioning for the baby vampire to follow.

"Evening Sweetheart," Niklaus greeted, his gaze on her was soft. She could feel the fire in her belly grow with the constant intensity of his gaze. Sage waved goodbye before going off, Caroline assumed to find Finn.

She raised her eyebrows at the hybrid who could only shrug, "If Sage keeps him from trying to kill the rest of us, then perhaps I was to…." Niklaus paused, raising an eyebrow of his own. Knowing that the blonde no doubt had a few words to add of her own.

"Judgmental? Hasty, should I go on" Caroline retorted a teasing tone entering her voice. His arm was raised for her to take, Caroline took the stairs to meet him quickly encircling her arm through his.

"Now love, what do I owe for this visit," He frowned as his observation of the blonde worried him. The vampire looked tired, the clothes on her back clearly had been worn for a couple days. He waited until they entered his room to push her against the door, cupping her face with one hand.

"Sweetheart, what happened?" He growled lowly. Vowing that anyone who caused the usually vivacious blonde to be so down would suffer much. He kept her upright against the door, his arm coming around to hold her at her waist. His remaining hand coming up and stroked her cheek.

"I'm tired, Klaus. I was helping Abby and Bonnie with Abby's transition. Abby did not take it well. Then Elena needed help because Ric is going mentally insane due to the Gilbert ring, and Bonnie's mom was turned into a vampire in order to save Elena". Caroline found once she started, the words kept coming. She rambled on and on about how whenever Elena was endangered, the rest of them would swoop in. The problem was when it came to saving Elena, someone else always had to pay the price.

"I love her still, Klaus. She was my best friend for all these years then when she finally got to have a normal life, I was a reminder of the supernatural. I was still a vampire and therefore a risk to her happy life. I don't blame her, but it still hurt. I become a vampire because of my connection to her! Katherine killed me because she knew you enjoyed poetry and hoped that you would use me in breaking your curse," Caroline continued on as the man lifted her up so that she was laying her head against his shoulder, his arms wrapped securely around her waist and under her knees.

Klaus didn't say anything; he just allowed her to talk to get it all out. As she ranted Niklaus gently placed her on his bed. When Caroline talked, oh the flood gates opened, she could not stop. She told him how he flirted with her, antagonize her, make her question how she saw the world. She would be used to distract him, as Elena and the Salvatore's tried to find a way to kill him. Fearing that he would always try to use her to make hybrids, despite the fact he was leaving them alone.

She whispered how first Finn was killed; that was how they figured out by killing an original would destroy their entire sire line. She talked about them trying to find out who sired their vampire line. She even laughed when she told him how the Salvatore's reacted to finding out that it was the big bad wolf himself who was responsible. Klaus stayed silent as the girl, no woman before him, broke down. Her words were no more than a whisper, but every vampire in the house could hear it perfectly.

"Guess some of the fog is clearing up?" He murmured against her hair.

"Memories regarding your family seem to be the clearest" She confessed continuing what she knew. The blonde was so intent on the words spoken that she did not hear the hiss from Rebekah and Sage as she skated around the subject of her relationship with Damon. Nor did she hear glass break when she mentioned Kol's untimely death. She missed Rebekah's laughter at Katherine being forced to turn into a human nor her sob at the deaths of her brothers. So, intent on ensuring that his siblings did not interrupt her much needed purge, Niklaus almost missed the part about Hope.

His hand froze his stroke, "A daughter?"

Caroline hiccupped, tears now freely flowing. "She will be beautiful. She is so strong, full of light. Your family will be so proud of her. So much that you sacrifice yourself to the hollow for her."

She didn't realize how much she was comforted by his touch until he broke away. He turned his back on her. His next question did not surprise her.

"Who?"

"Her mother's a werewolf named Hayley Marshall. She is currently helping Tyler break his sire bond. She will also be the cause of you murdering twelve of your hybrids," Caroline replied honestly. He would be furious if she tried to hide the truth from him. She put a hand on his arm when he growled at the information.

"It was nature's loophole," Caroline laughed softly, looking up into his eyes when he turned back to her eyes blazing. "Kind of like how the Gemini coven decided to place their unborn twins into my womb, they needed a safe space to grow. Even if it was the womb of the dead."

"They did what?" Klaus hissed. Caroline quickly placed herself into his path, wrapping her arms around his waist subconsciously.

"The twins birth mother was dying, so they placed the twins in the nearest womb. Mine happened to be it. I would have appreciated being asked, but you know witches."

The two vampires shared a weak laugh, the rest of the house eerily quiet. Klaus assumed they were finally given actual space. Kol and Finn were most likely in a rage. He'd have to deal with them later, hopefully, between Sage and Rebekah, no massacres would occur. His focus was on the baby vampire before him.

"That's a lot to take in love," He whispered.

"How do you think I feel? I lived it. I didn't even get to collect on your promise" Her blue eyes looked up at his.

"What promise was this?"

Caroline gulped, wetting her lips as his eyes kept hers entranced, "you promised you would be my last love, no matter how long it takes."

Neither one of them moved, blue eyes met blue while his hand came up and rubbed her bottom lip softly. Could he possibly have made that promise? Then the unbelievable happened, her mind's gate opened to him.

"You can look if you want," Came Caroline's voice in his own mind. Niklaus felt himself gulp at the implication. As an original vampire he was capable of entering any mind he chose, which was seldom as he preferred other methods of getting what he wanted. Entering one's mind was intimate to say the least.

However,…

Niklaus was never a man that needed to be told twice. He dug deep into her mind gently at first for she had earned that respect with her actions. Niklaus could not help but be in awe at the complexity that was her dreamscape, and yet he saw everything. All the stories she had shared about his family, were open to him. In her mind there were no holes where magic could interfere with her memory, her mind was an open book. Niklaus found her absolutely refreshing. He stepped in further and saw everything that she spoke up, he even felt the echoes of her strongest emotions.

She hid nothing from him, every door was open.

Her strongest emotions were about him, and from her memories, they were most definitely reciprocated. He saw the way he looked at her, how without fail except for one time when she went to New Orleans he had always managed to be there for her. He saw how she deflated near her supposed friends, how they almost seemed to forget she existed so often always needing Bonnie or focusing on how to help Elena. Niklaus watched as he continued to pay her attention long past when his curiosities customarily ended. He carefully pulled out of her mind; she was absolutely breathtaking.

He was right she was made of light, there was not even a bit of darkness in her soul. She may be surrounded in it on occasion, but her heart was entirely made out of light. So entranced with her beauty, Niklaus barely noticed when he locked eyes with her. Slowly he came back to himself focusing on every detail he could see on her face. He smirked a little when she absentmindedly licked her lips.

He lowered his head slightly to see what she would do. Niklaus hummed softly when she came the rest of the way. Their lips connected softly at first, a grin escaped him. She smiled up at him before pulling him into another, Niklaus wrapped his arms firmly around her bottom. Lifting her up effortlessly so that she lay on his lap pulling her back to his lips.

It was when she pulled away far enough to look him directly in the eye that she fell out of his lap onto the mattress. Their eyes connected, and she let out a laugh. Niklaus climbed on top of her, caging her to him. She surprised him by pulling him by his belt closer and wrapping her legs around him. Her lips soon found their place beside his once again. Lips stayed connected, bottoms got nipped, and breathy moans escaped.

Soft feminine hands began to wander, larger ones brought to her hips, keeping the soft figure close. Caroline kissed him softly, gently pushing against him; Niklaus laughed, kissing down her neck as he rolled them over, allowing her the freedom of being on top. His hands keeping a possessive grip on her hips.

"Better than tree bark love?" He teased, his fingers tracing the top of her jeans. Mentally calculating how long it will take him to get her consent to toss them. She let out a breathy laugh kissing his neck as her hands traveled up and down his chest.

"I knew you'd spot that," She rolled her eyes, earning a nip at her neck. Caroline let out a squeak, automatically pushing her hips against his. Both of them moaned at the contact.

"If you wanted that to stay private, might have tried a bit harder, sweetheart," Klaus hissed as one his hands crawled up her sides, earning him a soft sigh as she pressed into him, leaving no room between.

"I told you I'm done hiding my curiosity" He smirked up at her, easily overpowering her as she was once again placed on her back. Her hands raised and held by one of his.

"A curiosity, am I?" He breathed into her ear, kissing up and down her neck. Caroline fought against the moan that escaped her lips. Her body lifted to reach his. His remaining hand removed her shirt with a single tug. The shreds of it flew across the room.

Moaning, she pouted, "I liked that shirt, Klaus."

"I'll buy you a thousand ones just like it," Klaus vowed, taking her lips against his. Caroline moaned into his bruising kiss, raising her leg to wrap around his waist. Klaus slowly kissed his way down her collarbone, across her shoulders, and took his time sliding her bra off her shoulders. Caroline whined as he nipped the tops of her breasts, her arms still retrained by his hand.

"Klaus," She moaned.

"Nik, love. Call me Niklaus" He breathed, finally having enough of teasing her. He unclasped her bra, allowing it to find a home among the ruins of her shirt. His mouth quickly attached itself to one of her breasts.

Caroline pressed herself closer to him, allowing her arms to keep the hybrid against her. Her breathing soon turned to gasps as his tongue found a new target. She breathed out his name repeatedly, each syllable urging him on. When his head popped up from his nest against her, Caroline kissed him. She brought her tongue to his demanding his full attention.

He gave it, thrusting his own down her throat as his hand grabbed the back of her head. Her blonde curls twisting against his fingers. They rolled together fighting for dominance. She pulling his hand from her hair and put both his hands onto the front of her jeans.

"You sure, love?" He asked kissing down her neck, Caroline's eyes kept fluttering closed much to his amusement.

"Yes, Niklaus, it's a yes" The blonde consented kissing him in confirmation. She missed the delighted grin that stretched across his face. His fangs elongated as his hands made quick work of her jeans. Her hands already pressing his jeans down.

As his shirt was torn from his body, Niklaus raised an eyebrow as he looked down at the panting blonde. The female shrugged, "You destroyed mine. Now we are even."

Niklaus grinned attacking her lips again, causing a gasp to erupt from her beautiful lips. His hands ripped apart her panties, the blonde didn't say anything but the nip against his bottom lip alerted him that she was not going to let that go. Klaus pressed himself between her legs, his fingers gently encouraging their spread. His tongue sucked on her neck, nibbling at it careful not to bite leaving the blonde under him a panting mess.

His hand slipped between her legs carefully prodding her entrance, feeling it slick with heat pleased him greatly. He nipped at her neck, whispering in her ear "Already so wet for me love? We haven't even begun yet."

"Nik," Caroline whined pressing her nails into his back, piercing his skin. The man hissed in pleasure as he pushed his cock into her entrance his hands cupping her ass. The couple moaned in pleasure at the contact, the female pressed her fingernails deeper into the wounds she caused. Niklaus growled eyes flashing as he pulled away slightly, only to slam into her. He held her body close to his, feeling as she clenched his cock with every thrust.

"Fuck, Nik" She hissed burying her head into his neck. Pride filled him hearing her soft pleases, as she met each thrust with one of her own. He kissed her neck, eyes flashing gold.

"Say that again love and I'll have to taste you" He promised bringing her into another fierce kiss.

"Bite me," She moaned.

His thrusts halted, as he starred at her. Blue eyes widening by the second, watching as her chest heaved up and down, her own blue eyes looking up at him full of trust. She leaned up kissing him softly, "Your blood is the cure, I think you can handle a little rough play."

He chuckled into her neck, thrusting deeply into her causing Caroline to throw her head back in pleasure. He felt his fangs emerge starring into her pale neck. Matching his next thrust with his bite. Caroline screamed in pleasure, as his thrusts became frenzied with her juices covering his cock. He growled into her neck, feeling her blood entire his system, as he unloaded inside of her warm heat.

Their bodies stilled, his hands cupping her neck softly. He starred down at her, eyes holding a softness that she had not yet seen. He wrapped one arm around her, pulling her so she was against his chest. Her head snug into his neck, he gently pressed her lips to his neck.

"Drink love,"

Sage rolled her eyes spotting the three Mikaelson siblings sitting at a table in a bar that was known as the Mystic Grill. The red-haired vampire stalked up to the three originals, only Finn looking up at her approach.

"Sage," Finn smiled holding out a chair for her. She smiled flirtatiously at him accepting his seat, as he quickly went to find a fourth.

Sage looked over to find her love's two siblings who were glaring at a familiar dark-haired vampire. Sage smirked remembering how Rebekah made Damon think that Finn had gone with their mother. It really was easy, even easier than it was to get Rebekah to sleep with Damon.

"Still sore Rebekah?" Sage teased. The blonde rolled her eyes scoffing at the idea of her being upset over Damon of all vampires.

"No, I'm pissed at him for all the other reasons," The blonde sister hissed glaring as the dark-haired vampire. The redhead sighed; she had enjoyed her time with the dark-haired vampire. Their only issue was that he would use the white oak stake to kill all of the original vampires.

"Damon was the one Caroline spoke of clearly. He was the vampire that had compelled her to obey him then proceeded to rape her," Rebekah seethed eyes flashing, "Of all the despicable things, he did that! The Mikaelson's have never forced themselves on a woman."

Sage eyes darken recalling how she taught Damon about seduction, of how fun being a vampire could be. Could he have taken a different meaning? "You know it was him? She never did say a name"

Kol scoffed, "Let's see the only vampires in this town are us and the Salvatore's. Rebekah has had the pleasure of messing with Stefan, Bekah?"

The female Mikaelson shrugged, "Twenties, before the daggering."

"Right, well Bekah here says that Stefan even during his ripper binges never raped a woman. That and he was dating the doppelganger at the time."

"Leaving the elder Salvatore," Rebekah growled.

The redheaded vampire felt her hand turn into a fist. She loved being a vampire, but even she had some rules. She would compel her pray into compliance, telling them not to scream. She'd even give them a little pleasure, but only if they made a move on their own. Sexual pleasure was distinctly of a human's own choice, that was a rule she was taught by the Mikaelson's. As awful as they were, the elitist pricks, they never abused someone in that way. They never had to, plenty of humans were willing to bed any of the siblings. Sage kept quiet listening as the two siblings hissed together, clearly Caroline's story had left a mark.

Was it because of their brother's fondness for the girl? Or the crime she was used for? Either way Sage owed the girl a debt, for undaggering Finn.

"What's the plan?"

A.N: Okay that was my first smut attempt in a while. Hope it was enjoyable. As always read and review! I received many great reviews, some pretty good questions to so here I am going to answer a few

Is Caroline stronger because she is older? Vampire age determines a lot about their strength, problem is she went back in time. So, she has all the lessons she has learned but not the benefit of her body actually aging. This will play a part later on in the story….hint hint.

Why did not of the Mikaelson's give her an interrogation over the future or not belief her? One they far too old to seriously doubt anything. Secondly, they are more worried about the whole Esther thing. The whole Caroline knows the future issue will come into play more as the story progresses. But it will not be the focus of my story.
