Chapter 10- "Scarlet"
"Klaus." Said Hayley during the morning, coming to his office. It's been a couple of days since Elena and Elijah were kidnapped. Bonnie had been staying with them, though she was not at ease with the originals like Elena and Caroline were. Klaus was finally finishing the painting he started for Caroline a couple of weeks ago.
"Yes, little wolf?" He said.
"I think we need to find Sabine."
"And why would we need to do that?"
"My pack has a curse, Klaus, it's also our daughter's pack. I'm their alpha, I need to help them"
"Why don't you ask Bonnie for help? She was able to help Elijah's course and stop him from killing Elena."
"Klaus, please, I need your help." Klaus stopped painting, dropped his material on his table, and went to her.
"If your wolves come anywhere near Caroline, I'll kill them." He said.
"They won't touch her," Hayley promised.
"Well, let's find Sabine shall we?" He said.
Meanwhile, Elijah and Elena, with her Katherine costume, were walking down the French quarter holding hands, looking for Monique. They walked into Sophie's bar, going straight into the kitchen.
"Monique," Elijah said.
"Elijah Mikaelson. Katherine Pierce. To what do I own the pleasure?" The witch said, lifting her eyes from her grimoire.
"We came here to offer you a deal." Said Elena. "We need your help locating Sabine."
"You have a Bennett witch on your side, why don't you ask her?" Monique said.
"That's true." Said Elena. "But she's not powerful enough for what we need." Truth is Elena didn't want to get Bonnie involved. The night before, Elijah had told her about the plan he had to take down Celeste, and they could either go to Bonnie or Monique. Elena decided to go to Monique because of the last part of the plan.
"Celeste will be trapped and I'll kill her." Said Elijah in his office. He was sitting on the floor in front of the fireplace, and Elena had her back to the fire.
"Let's talk to Monique," Elena said.
"Are you sure?" Elijah asked.
"I don't want her to get involved in this Elijah. She's not at ease here with you and Klaus, and I'm sure she'll not approve of you killing in front of her."
"Doesn't it bother you?" He asked.
She sat on his lap, closing her legs around his waist and putting her hands on his face. He, in turn, held her close to him.
"Not anymore. I know why you're doing this. And I know you wouldn't do it if you didn't have any other way."
"I'm sorry for going after you in the woods…" Elena put her fingers on his lips to shut him up.
"You don't need to apologize. I've forgiven you." She said smiling and kissing him.
Elijah moved closer to her, planting delicate kisses along her throat and his fingers tracing along her curves. He looked at her, asking for permission. Elena smiled and nodded. She planted soft kisses on his neck, her hands exploring every inch of him. She pushed herself upon his growing desire. He took her clothes off with so much reverence and love, that Elena couldn't believe how lucky she was. She removed his clothes and straddled him again.
His breath caught as she lowered herself onto him. His hands cupped her face as her hips rocked back and forth. The pleasure they created together was so intense, that they could barely contain it, feeling the velocity of their bliss build higher and higher. With each thrust came a wave of pleasure that seemed to drive them both towards a climax.
Their bodies meshed together in a union of pleasure as the fire continued to crackle and flicker in the background, a reminder of their love and connection.
In that moment all of their worries and fears melted away, replaced by a feeling of bliss. The passion and pleasure that they shared that night remain forever etched in their minds as a highlight of their love and bond.
His eyes lit up as he felt the pleasure of her body against his. He grabbed her waist as her eyes fluttered shut and they moved together in one collective moment of bliss. As they matched the rhythm of one another, the heat between their bodies began to skyrocket. Their hearts were pumping and their minds raced until they felt one another reach their peak. They shared a passionate kiss as their violent moans echoed throughout the room.
After a few moments of passionate intensity, they both reached the peak of their pleasure and cried out in ecstasy, their bodies trembling together until their hearts calmed. Elena and Elijah lay together, basking in the afterglow of their shared pleasure, embracing each other as they drift off into sleep, their souls sharing one connected moment.
Monique smiled at the compliment.
"It can't be fun being bossed around by Sabine, right? Or better, being bossed around by Celeste?" Said Elena. Monique closed her grimoire. Elena and Elijah had her.
"What do you need?" Asked the young witch.
"We need to find out where she is." Said Elena. "And, we need you to perform another spell from the original witch. We'll give it to you once we have the location."
"Fair enough." Said Monique.
The witch grabbed a map of New Orleans, along with something that she had that belonged to Celeste, and performed the spell.
"She is the bayou." Said Monique. Elena and Elijah looked at each other. They knew exactly why she was there.
"Now, about that spell…" Said Elijah.
Elena and Elijah got to the bayou and walked into the small house they previously had stayed in when Elijah was bitten by Klaus. There they found not only Celeste, who was brewing something, but also Klaus and Hayley.
"Well, this is awkward." Said Celeste.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Elijah.
"Hayley asked me to do an elixir to cure her pack from the werewolf curse. And of course, I'd say I'd help." Replied Celeste.
"Out of the goodness of your heart? Right." Said Elena. "You want to tear this family apart. The moment the wolves are free of their curse, Hayley will be their alpha again, and her daughter will be free to be raised in the bayou."
"My daughter will not be raised away from me, little wolf. " Said Klaus in a threatening tone.
"She will not." Said Hayley, looking at Elena angrily. Elijah moved to stand in front of Elena.
"Let's go outside my love." Said Elijah. "You're coming too Celeste."
Celeste stopped brewing the concoction and followed Elijah outside.
Elijah held onto Elena's hand and the three of them went outside. After walking a decent amount of distance, Elijah turned to Celeste.
"What are you doing Celeste?" He asked.
"Taking your family from you." She replied. "Even if your niece gets born, she'll be raised by the wolves, which is a lot better than you and your family. And you're not going to take away a child from her mother's arms, you're too noble Elijah. Of course," She said, walking toward both vampires. "you can get inside the house and throw the elixir away. But then, Hayley will hate you both for it. Who knows what she'll tell her daughter."
"We won't do such a thing." Said Elijah. "Hayley's pack is her family."
Elena's phone rang with a notification. It was a message from Marcel. She showed it to Elijah, smiling.
"It seems like you're running out of luck now Celeste." Said Elena. "Marcel killed your friend Bastiana."
Celeste made a horrified face.
"Davina is coming back." Said Elena.
Elena and Elijah ran to the cemetery, and the original was sure Celeste would follow suit. He wasn't wrong. The vampires found the witch hiding in a crypt.
"You can't run anymore Celeste," Elijah said.
"I'll just jump into someone else's body. I'll bring the end of your family." Celeste said, grabbing a knife and killing herself. What she didn't expect was what Elijah had planned. Her essence came back to her original body and was assembled on the far side of the crypt. Celeste opened her eyes, realizing what was happening, fear overwhelming her.
She wanted to leave but Elena blocked the only exit.
"You should've learned by now, mon amour," Elijah said the last part in a mocking tone. "Nobody messes with my family and lives, nobody." And with that, he broke her neck.
"Let's get Davina," He said, going to Elena and holding her hand.
Both of them went to Davina's casket. Josh and Marcel had dug it up and opened it up. They had to wait a few hours, but at nightfall, Davina finally opened her eyes.
"Davina!" Said Elena, going to her.
The witch sat up in the coffin, crying tears of happiness.
"You did it, you brought me back!" She said, hugging the vampire
"It was Marcel, he killed Bastiana and that brought you back," Elena said, hugging her back.
Davina left her coffin and hugged Marcel and Josh.
"C'mon, let's get you home." Said Elena.
Davina followed Elena and they both went back to the compound.
A few weeks later, at breakfast with Caroline, Elijah, and Elena, Klaus said.
"We're throwing a ball later this week."
"Excuse me?" Said Elena.
"Niklaus, all the factions are at war. Why would want to throw a ball?" Asked Elijah.
"It's the perfect opportunity to present to everyone their queen," Klaus said, looking lovingly at Caroline.
"Perhaps we should call it a truce at this ball. Make a treaty with all the factions." Said Elijah.
"It will not work brother, but go ahead, fool yourself. I'm sure the factions will be more than pleased to come."
Later that week, with the lead of Caroline, the compound was completely decorated for the Mikaelson ball. The factions had agreed to come, even the human faction now was led by a human named Francesca in the place of Father Kieran. Caroline was wearing a blue dress, a nod to the dress she wore in the first Mikaelson ball. The dress was mesmerizing, fit for a queen, and her beauty was only made more magnificent by the outstanding crown of diamonds that Klaus had given her.
The diamonds catch the rays of the lights in a way that causes them to sparkle and shine like the stars in the sky, giving Caroline a royal look. She feels an immense sense of pride and is overwhelmed with love for Klaus as the moonlight reflects off her majestic crown, which is a symbol of their undying love and commitment to each other. With a smile, she can't help but admire the beauty of her dress and the elegance of her crown, and knows that she could never ask for anything more.
"My queen," Klaus said mesmerized, looking at her reflection in the mirror of their shared bedroom. "You look so beautiful, no beauty in the world can compare to you."
Caroline turned to him and caressed his face.
"Thank you." She said.
"What for?" He asked, his hands going to her waist, bringing her flush against him.
"For everything Klaus." She kissed his face. "There's something I want to tell you."
"I know my love."
"Let me say it." She said, holding his face between her hands. "I love you Niklaus Mikaelson."
His heart filled with hope for the first time in forever, and it felt like it was beating for the first time in a long time. He smiled.
"I love you, Caroline Forbes." He said. She brought his face down and kissed him.
Their lips collided in a passionate kiss that was filled with all the love, fear, and excitement that they both had been holding back for so long. The kiss seemed to last an eternity, and when they finally pulled away they both looked into each other's eyes, understanding fully what the other felt.
"Stay close to me tonight my love," Klaus asked.
"Yes," Caroline said.
Later at the ball, even though the tension was high, everyone seemed to have a good time. Even Elena, who doesn't like events like this, was enjoying herself, though she mostly kept herself with Elijah, dragging him to dance with her. A few times the fights between a wolf and a vampire had to be stopped, and no one dared to say "no" to Caroline. They feared Klaus, but they feared what he could do if something happened to Caroline.
Finally, they had to sign the peace contract. Elena of course, signed Katherine's name, under Elijah's. The ink of the treaty was the mix of the blood of the factions.
After everyone had left, Caroline took her dress, her shoes, and her makeup off. She had a robe on and was taking her jewelry off in front of the vanity when Klaus showed up behind her. He had his button-up shirt on and his pants on. He put one of his hands on her shoulder and lifted her, seating her up on the vanity.
"You looked so beautiful tonight my love." He said, his hands on her legs.
"You didn't half bad yourself." She said. Klaus smiled, kissing her neck,
"I've been thinking about you all night." He whispered in her ear.
"What… what kind of thoughts?" Caroline asked, closing her eyes, leaning her head back, and opening her legs, letting him come between her legs.
"The kind of thoughts that made me want to carry you over my shoulder, and let everyone hear how good I make you feel." He said, his hand dangerously close to where she wanted him the most. "Most of all, I wanted to have you while you were wearing this crown, my love." He said, gently biting her neck.
"Then do it," Caroline said breathlessly. She smiled up at him and he could feel her eyes boring into him. He grasped her hips tightly and pulled her in close. Her breath became shallower as Klaus got to his knees and started to eagerly finger her pussy, exploring every crevice and watching her body move in pleasure with each touch. His tongue found its way inside of her, flicking and prodding as her wetness flowed around it. His ministrations were just enough to cause her to reach the brink of orgasm over and over again. His gaze never left her as he lapped up all of her fluids and felt her body quiver.
As he continued to drive her insane with pleasure, he felt her buck against his mouth as she let out her orgasmic moans, and he savored every moment of it. Klaus never stopped licking and sucking until she was completely spent, her cum dripping off his lips. Klaus had put her desires first, and it showed. He'd pleasured her like no one ever could, and he wouldn't stop until she was truly satisfied.
Suddenly, he grabbed her off the vanity and carefully laid both of them on the bed, taking the remaining of her clothes in the process.
Klaus slowly worked his way up Caroline's body - trailing soft kisses up her neck, teasing her nipples until she begged for more, tracing her hips with pressure from his fingers that made her gasp - until they were finally tangled together and he thrust himself deeply into her. Caroline let out a gasp of pure pleasure as he rocked against her, both of them pushing each other ever closer to the edge. As they inched closer to climax, Klaus increased his thrusts, making Caroline moan against the pillow.
Finally, both reached their pinnacle at the same time, a blissful explosion of pleasure that saw them trembling with delight. The sheets were kicked off the bed, the headboard thumped against the wall as they sank into one another, finally sated. After a few moments, Klaus brushed his hand across Caroline's arm and pressed a gentle kiss to her cheek.
He brought her closer to him. Now everyone knew she was their queen.
