"New Life, New Enemies, Love"

Chapter 33

Third Person

Elijah watches Caroline from a far to ensure her safety while with the wolves. When he sees Mary walking over. He smiles at her. "You know you are welcome son." Elijah looks over at Caroline.

"Thank you Mary, that is kind of you. I just came to make sure nothing happens to her."

Mary nods, "I understand, Hayley told me you were the noble one. I trust that you tracked down the bastards that killed her?" Elijah looks down at Mary and nods. No need to worry her that every lead that came up ended cold. Mary smiles. "Good."

"Would you mind not telling her I was here?" Elijah asks.

"Sure thing son." Mary begins to walk away then pauses and looks back at Elijah, "Can you promise me something?"Elijah nods. "I don't want anything to happen to the girl. She is good person that was thrown into this. She doesn't deserve to be caught in the cross fire of whatever Klaus has going on. Don't tell me he doesn't. I have heard things Elijah. One being he is going to use that baby's blood to make hybrids. You promise me you will keep them both safe."

Elijah had his suppression on what Klaus's plans where for the baby that Caroline is now carrying. He had hoped it was pure. That with Caroline carrying and being the mother that Niklaus would be more willing to be a family. Elijah does not want to doubt his brother but with his track record he needs to be careful and that includes protecting Caroline and the baby. He looks up back at Mary. "You have my word." With that he vanishes to find Klaus.

Klaus and Marcel finish up destroying Genevieve's alter to leave her a little note as they could not find her. Just as they finish up Genevieve walks through the door and screams.

"Look what the cat dragged in Klaus!" Marcel says as Klaus drops a vase from his hand and it shatters then looks over.

"I believe this place needed to be redecorating marcel?" Klaus says as he walks over to Genevieve. She steps back and hits the stone wall, before she can use her magic Klaus has his hand around her mouth. "Now Marcel what did you use to do to the witches that disobeyed you?"

Marcel smiles, "I use to kill them mate."

Genevieve's eyes dart between Marcel and Klaus. "Oh yes I do remember," He looks back at Genevieve, "Interesting isn't it Genevieve, you see," Klaus points at her, "I know you are the bird that has gone around spilled their guts about Caroline." Genevieve struggles, "Shhh... you see I know what will come out of your mouth are lies. So here is the problem Genevieve. Truth be told I have enjoyed your company. I would like to keep enjoying your company but that mouth of yours.. now that's a problem. So what shall we do about that? Marcel?"

Marcel drops a potion bottle and it shatters on the ground, "I don't know Klaus what can she do to show she is on our side? How about making sure Davina is taught how to defend her self? That's a good start. What should be next Klaus?"

"I think a protection spell on both Caroline and the baby is another step in the right direction. Don't you say Marcel?"

Marcel nods. "I agree. Genevieve what do you think about that? OH! Sorry you are a little tongue tied." Marcel laughs.

Genevieve nods and Klaus removes his hand. "Now love, that protection spell?"

*** Two Hours Later***

Klaus and Marcel walk into the compound laughing and spot Elijah. "Elijah come join us for a drink!"

"Brother a word." Elijah states. Klaus looks at Elijah, looks down then back to Marcel.

"Another time mate." Marcel nods and leaves.

"What is it this time Elijah?"

"Are you planning on using my niece, your daughter ,to make hybrids?"

Klaus looks Elijah straight in the eye and says, "Where did you hear such rubbish brother."

"What rubbish?" They both turn their heads and see Caroline coming through the doorway. Both brothers look at each other mentally agreeing to finish this conversation a different time. Caroline sits down and puts her feet up. "My feet are killing me! One of you could have picked up your phone, so I didn't have to walk."

"Miss Forbes how about I make that up to you by making you something to eat?" Elijah holds out his hand for Caroline to take. Which she does and he helps her up and they begin to walk towards the kitchen. Klaus speeds to his room and begins to trash it. How dare Elijah, out of all people, to think I would use my own child in such a way. He trashes his room a bit more before he settles. Tomorrow he will handle Elijah. Today he will sleep knowing that Caroline is now protected. He walks out of his room and brings himself down to the kitchen where he sees Caroline finishing her food.

"What did Elijah make you tonight love?" Klaus digs out a wine glass.

"Jackson and the wolves gave me supper, Elijah made me a simple grilled ham and cheese. You know for thousand year olds I would have thought I would be getting something I couldn't even pronounce."

Klaus chuckles, "I believe Elijah is holding out on love," Klaus bites into his palm and lets his blood drain into the glass, then turns and sets it in front of Caroline. "Your last drop of blood was this morning."

Caroline nods, "I am sorry."

'For what love?"

"For this," she looks at the glass of Klaus's blood, "If I could keep down human blood, you wouldn't have the hassle of this."

"Love," Klaus looks down about to tell Caroline that anything he would do for her is not a hassle but he knows he has to trend lightly. "Caroline look at me." Caroline looks up at him. "You need blood to survive. Keeping you alive is no hassle." At that he walks out of the kitchen.
