Info You Might Need To Know: "Speaking", The spell here, turned Caroline's skin into vervain, for vampires

Word Count: 1.9K

Summary: What if, when Caroline has the vervain spell on her, the gang, out of options. Decides to call the Big Bad wolf. It isn't far-fetched to say that the love of his life having vervain skin, is against his interests as well. So this story will clearly end in one of two ways. Either the heretic's will be forced to remove the spell, or Klaus is gonna end up building a heck of a tolerance to vervain.

Today's Special

Holding on to love is not wrong, but you need to learn to hold it lightly, caressingly. Let it fly when it wants. When it's allowed to be free, love is what makes life alive, joyful, and new. As long as love is in my heart, it's everywhere.

~Michael Jackson

Enzo felt guilt eat up at him as he watched Caroline cuddle Bonnie, the only one of her friends she would touch without hurting anyone.

This was his fault, is he did hand her over to them then she wound't have to stupid vervain spell placed on her in the first place.

But how would he possibly fix this mistake?

Bonnie had tried everything and it didn't work; and he didn't know any other witches either.

Suddenly, an idea struck Enzo and a smirk appeared onto his face. "Hey gorgeous." He called, walking up to the pair of girls.

The blond in question raised her head, "Hum?"

"Can I borrow your phone, I need to make a call." He said.

"What happened to yours?" Bonnie questioned.

"It's batteries died. I'm still not used to charging it." The older vampire lied effortlessly.

"All right." Caroline sighed, handing her phone over to him. "But make it quick."

Enzo rolled his eyes, "Honestly, I don't think I'd ever be able to understand your generation and their attachment to their gadgets."

Once Enzo was sure he was out of the baby vampire's hearing range, he opened up her contacts. He scrolled through them, desperately trying to find one labeled, 'Klaus'.

But had no luck.

So he decided to start from the top once again. This time, a name stood out to him. 'Nik'. Didn't Damon mention that Klaus' full name was Niklaus.

Hoping he was right, Enzo quickly clicked the number. Before the first ring was even finished, the person on the other end had picked up.

"Hello love. To what do I owe the pleasure of your phone call this fine morning?" A voice practically purred.

"Sorry. Not gorgeous." Enzo informed the man. By the sound of it, it looks like this was the man he was looking for.

"Why do you have Caroline's phone?" Klaus demanded, all pleasantness void from his voice.

Enzo had to force himself to not back down in front of the ice cold tone. "Listen, I mean her no harm. But she has a particularly nasty spell on her. She could really use your help."

"What happened?" Klaus asked, pouring himself a drink.

"A heretic, a siphon witch and vampire hybrid put a spell on Caroline. Because of it, her skin is vervain to any vampire who touches it. Bonnie has tried to remove the spell, but failed. So I was hoping you may know a witch who could help. Because you know, her burning you whenever you touch her, makes for a pretty sad love story. One you know she'd never go for. So witches?"

"I know several." Klaus answered. "I'll bring one down to help. If she isn't willing, I'll drag her by her hair if I have to."

"What time should I expect you?" Enzo asked.

"I'll be there in two hours." Klaus answered.

Enzo blinked surprised. He expected a response, but not one that quick. But he guessed a perk of being a thousand year old hybrid is the various resources at your fingertips.

Klaus started making arrangements as soon as he hung up the call. He took the rest of his drink like a shot, and proceeded to walk out of his room.

He texted one of his compelled vampire's to make arrangements to get their plane ready. The quicker he got there, the better.

He knew that Caroline was a very social creature by nature. He could only imagine how horrible it must be for her, not being able to come in contact with the people around her; knowing that if she did. She'd only be hurting them.

He refused to let her suffer when he could prevent it.

It was a spell he was dealing with, so as much as he admitted it. He was going to need Kol's expert opinion on this one.

Klaus flashed to Rousseau's, where Kol would be found this time of day. The hybrid walked into the bar to find his brother sitting on one of the stools, the harvest girl desperately hanging off of him. Eating up every word he said.

Cami was working one of the early shifts today, he recalled with a sight, meaning Marcel would be here today too.

"Kol." Klaus called, gaming his little brother's attention. "Get up. We need to leave. And the drink stays behind, I need you sober for this."

Kol protested as his brother grabbed his arm, "What! No. I'm staying."

"We're going to Mystic Falls. You're gonna end up seeing the Bennett witch." Klaus tempted him. And his brother, ever so taken by the Bennett witch, quikly stood up.

"Why didn't you say so?" He asked cheerfully. "Why couldn't you have led with that."

Daviana's nails dug into her palm painfully as she watched how excited Kol got at the mere mention of this witch.

"So what happened to Caroline?" Kol asked, curious.

Klaus' eyes narrowed, "How do you know something happened to Caroline?" Klaus demanded.

Kol rolled his eyes, "Please. Why else would you be making this trip to Mystic Falls. So what happened to her?"

Klaus sighed, "She got cursed. A spell was put on her, that turned her skin into vervain for vampires."

"Who's Caroline?" Cami asked, eavesdropping onto their conversation.

Kol, never liking the trampy bartender, smirked, "She's the love of Nik's eternal life."

This caught Marcel's attention too.

"I want to come along."

"Take me with you!"

"I'm coming too!"

Marcel, Daviana, and Cami said in unison.

Klaus was about to say no, but was cut off by Kol, "Sure."

"They aren't coming." Klaus growled at the younger original.

"Oh, and why not?" Kol asked. "We need a witch. I'm willing to bet my poor Bonnie has already exhausted herself silly trying to find a way to break the spell. She deserves some rest. I honestly couldn't care less about Marcel. But I truly want to see the look on Cami's face when she realizes she's nothing but a cheap Caroline copy." Kol said shamelessly.

He didn't voice it, but Kol was quite fond of the baby vampire that had captured his brother's undead heart. The woman was the only one who had the decency to cover his charred corpse.

"Fine." Klaus caved. The longer he spent here, the more time Caroline spent under that spell. So he'd give his brother this one, if it meant they'd be on that plane quicker.

Kol laughs, "I guess if we can't find a way to break the spell, or cure her. Then you're gonna have to build up quite a tolerance to vervain, won't you."

Klaus glared at his brother, but didn't deny his statement.

Cami laughed, thinking he was joking, but was shut up when Klaus interrupted her, "I would."

Cami watched, shocked, "Surely you're joking."

Klaus, without sparing her a single glance, answered, "Of course I would. If nothing else can be done about her condition. Then that's what I'm going to have to do. I'm not going to spend eternity without touching her again, just because it burns a bit."

Marcel listened to his anwer, his mouth gaping open. Vervain was like acid to a vampire. He should know, consideirng her spend months torturing himself by drinking it. Just so Klaus wouldn't win. Much good that did. Klaus still got that city. But he knew how much it hurt. So saying it burned a bit, was a clear understatement.

But Klaus would happily supper that pain if Caroline would allow him to hold her.

I ended up hitting a bit of a roadblock with this idea, so I decided to split this chapter up into two parts. The second one is likely gonna be longer.

I watched episode 2 of the Originals, for the sake of my story "Expecting Pups". And there was one Cami scene. Like just seeing her one screen made me wanna bash my head into a wall. I haven't really watched much of the Originals yet either, but from what I heard. She literally tried to diagnose him with things (one of which I hear to being practically daddy issues). And tried to make excuses for his behavior.

Something I loved about Caroline was she never made excuses for him. She knew he was a bad person, but she still loved him. She did try to bring out his humanity, but never tried to change him completely or excuse his actions. One of the reasons she resisted him so much was because she knew he was bad.

I guess the writers for the originals wanted to destroy his character either way. So they didn't really care how bad Cami was for his character.

Like I watched a video titled Cami and Hayley bossing Klaus and Elijah around for four minutes (or something like that). and it disgusted me. Like come on, he's not afraid to slap girls (example: when he bitch slapped Elena)

Also, if you liked my story. Go check out Klaroline Mikaelson on ; she has a similar story of Klaus helping Caroline when she has vervain skin, up there. Along with other great Klaroline fanfics.

Anyways,

KLAROLINE FOR LIFE!
