"We're in Rome... I'm in Rome.." Caroline muttered the moment we landed at the airport. "Kareena! I'm in Rome!"

I raised a brow at her exclamation, amused before looking around. We boarded a last minute flight to Rome, courtesy of Caroline, who made a offhand comment about visiting Rome. It was quite simple to compel the humans to let us on, though I did make sure to drop a couple of hundred dollar bills when Caroline scolded me. Let it be known, I'm not afraid of her, but she has this look in her eyes that says she can and will make your life a living nightmare.

"I've been here plenty of times with my siblings, but I have to admit, I never took the time to sight see. What would you like to do first?" I asked her, phone ready to book reservations.

"You know you don't have to pay for everything, right?" Caroline chided me, brows furrowed as she watched me.

"...Shut up and take my money woman" I retorted, phone raised pointedly as I faced her.

"...have you ever been to the Colosseum?" She asked with a roll of her eyes, seemingly not bothering to fight me on the subject.

"Once or twice, it was a pleasant sight, worth going to again" I admitted, already booking two tickets to go within the Colosseum. "Ready to go?" I asked, walking off.

"Go? Where? Kareena where are we going?" She questioned, chasing after me.

"My family has a household here, we don't come here often, but when we do, we stay there. We'll leave our bags there before going to the Colosseum" I tell her, hailing a cab.

"Pray do tell, when the hell did you book tickets to the Colosseum?" She inquired, arms crossed as she awaited my answer. I bit my cheek before sending her a cheeky smirk. "When you were asking about the Colosseum."

She sighed before nodding, waiting by my side as the cab pulled up to us. Once entering the cab, I told them of our destination to the Mikaelson Estate. The driver looked shocked, rightfully so, since no one of their right mind would ever go there without permission. He hesitated making me roll my eyes before I made eye contact with him.

"Condu-ne la destinația despre care ți-am spus." (Drive us to the destination I told you of.) His eyes diluted before he nodded, turning around and focusing on the road. It was a mere hour of a drive before we came up to the estate. Compelling the cab driver to remain there until we return, I got out of the vehicle, going around and opening the door for Caroline. "Welcome to my family home"

Caroline gushed excitedly, running up the stairs of the estate before looking back at me. "HOW RICH ARE YOUR FAMILY!?" She yelled, caught between awe and shock. I cocked a brow before taking our bags and making my way to her. "Well, we've been alive for a long time Darling, it's not that hard to rack up money amongst the years"

I pushed the doors open, ushering her inside before dropping our bags on the floor of the entrance. Caroline took the time to explore, whilst I made my way upstairs. Before I made my way to my room, I heard Caroline yelp, and without thinking, I sped downstairs to where she was.

"Signorina Kareena, bentornata" (Miss Kareena, welcome back).

"Ah, Sonya, mi ero dimenticato di te. Le nostre valigie sono alla porta, non ci fermeremo a lungo, abbiamo dei programmi" (Ah, Sonya, I forgot about you. Our bags are at the door, we won't be staying long, we have plans)

Caroline watched the both of us converse confusedly, no doubt having no clue on what we're saying. "Caroline, this is Sonya, one of the maids hired by my family. She'll attend to anything and everything you need. She'll collect our bags and put them in our rooms."
