Klaroline: Little Do You Know

Chapter 14: The French Quarter

~Caroline's Pov~

We're sitting at the large dining table, eating our breakfast, when Klaus and Kol walk into the room. When Klaus' eyes meet mine, the baby starts moving. I jump at the new feeling. "What's wrong love?" Klaus asks super-speeding to my side.

"The baby." I say and his eyes widen.

"What's wrong?!" He asks, with worry in his eyes. I take his hand and place it over my growing bump, I look him in the eyes again and the baby moves. Klaus' eyes widen and he smiles widely. "Was that?"

"Yeah." I say and he kisses me deeply. "I love you."

"I love you too." He says and kisses me again. Kol takes his seat next to Destiny and Klaus next to me. Kol and Destiny are off in their own conversation while Klaus persists on showering me with kisses. "I love you Caroline." he says and my heart flutters.

"I love you too." I say and kiss his lips softly.

"How about, we show Caroline New Orleans today brother?" Kol suggests and excitement bubbles up in my chest.

"That sounds like a good idea, what do you think love?" Klaus asks me and my eyes light with anticipation.

"Oh my god yes yes yes." I say excitedly and Klaus laughs softly.

"Good, just get ready and we'll go?" Kol asks everyone and we all agree.

Klaus holds my hand as we stroll the blues filled streets of New Orleans. We're in the French quarter, Klaus tells me there are witches everywhere, well there should be. "Its quiet out here today. There are usually more people." Klaus says.

"Oh well, we can have a normal day with no supernatural interference for once."  I say and he laughs. I feel a flutter in my stomach. Out of nowhere Elijah appears in front of us. "Never mind." I say.

"Niklaus, Miss Forbes." He says in his elegant accent. 

"Elijah, I was wondering where you'd run off too." Klaus says wrapping his arm around Elijah's shoulders. 

"Yes, I'm sure." He says stepping away from Klaus and turns his attention to me. "Miss Forbes, there is a witch here that has offered her services to you." He says and Klaus growls. 

"A witch helping a vampire?" Klaus asks Elijah. 

"You, Kol, Destiny and I shall be with her, she has also offered her service to Destiny. This witch has no interest in harming us nor the children. She's an old friend who owes me a favor." Elijah explains. 

"I'm trusting you brother, but if one single thing is out of place, we leave. Am I understood?" Klaus asks Elijah. 

"You have my word." Elijah says. 

We meet up with Kol and Destiny at some little restaurant near the house of Madame Delphine Lalaurie and fill them in on the most recent events. "Before we go to the maybe not maybe trustworthy witch can we please go on the tour of the house. Please." I ask Klaus. He sighs and laughs. 

"Anything for you." He says and kisses my cheek. 

"You should've seen La Laurie in her prime, that woman was insane." Destiny says and Kol, Klaus and Elijah erupt into a fit of laughter. 

"Yes my love, but you were right there besides her. Attending every party, drinking from her daughters and her guests, you were no better." Kol says still in hysteria. 

"I was not that bad! She killed slaves and used their blood as a face mask, I've never been that bad." Fate protests but Elijah steps in. 

"I am afraid, dear sister, that you may have indeed been worse than the Madame herself." He says and I laugh along with them, as does Destiny. 

"Okay, okay, okay. Save the stories for the tour." I insist and we get up and cross the street. We compel our way into the tour before it begins and wait at the front door. 

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the house of Madame Delphine Lalaurie, the murderess of the French Quarter." The tour lady says. We walk into this grand house. The interior was beautiful, aristocratic french architecture. We tour the house and I learnt all about this insane woman. As we were about to leave Klaus grabs my hand and pulls me back. We wait until everyone's gone and they lock the door. 

"Okay so now we're locked in." I say and Klaus smiles. 

"We're going to give you the actual tour." Kol says. Klaus links his arms with me and leads me through the endless halls.
