Dream

Always a home- Part 1

"Well Rebekah, do tell us what is it you wish to speak to us about?" Klaus asked Rebekah while biting into one of the maids wrist and pouring her blood into a whiskey glass.

"Well brother, as you know I left to Denver a few weeks ago to work at a children's center." She says.

"Yes as I recall you had become very accustomed to a little girl there am I right?" He asks interrupting her.

"Yes, her name is Stephanie. And she is a witch." She tells us drinking some blood herself.

"And that has something to do with us, why?" Klaus asks taking a sip from the whiskey glass.

"Nik, I want to take her in. She said that she wants to run away."

"So you want my blessing to take adopt a child, for you can not have one of your own." Klaus states. Rebekah nods.

"I think it's a great idea Rebekah." I say trying to break the tension between the two. I look between them both. Rebekah smiles and Klaus glares at me.

"Listen Nik, " Rebekah starts. "Marcel and I have already discussed it ourselves. Elijah already gave me his blessing, as did Kol and Freya... I just need yours." She says.

"Why not just do it. I hardly doubt you would just leave this idea because of me." He says a bit bitter.

"No, I would not brother. I wanted your blessing because you are my blood. And no matter how many times you dagger me and put me away and sell me out to a dagger, I still love you." She says louder.

Klaus grabs my hand under the table and looks away from his sister and I. I hear Rebekah huff and stand up.

"Forget it. I don't even know why I bother. Right Nik?" She asks Klaus. He turns his head so he is looking at her with the same amount of anger in his eyes as her.

"You come looking for my blessing with so little confidence sister." He states putting a piece of bread in his mouth.

"Go on, take in that girl you have grown so fond over. Bring her to New Orleans to greet her new family." He says standing up with a smile on his face that I hadn't seen before... well at least not towards Rebekah. I smile and h smiles at me, giving my hand a squeeze before moving towards Rebekah.

With tears in her eyes she hugged him.

"I told you once before you could be free little sister. Go on, be free." Rebekah gives a relieved laugh and heads upstairs.

Klaus turns to me with a smirk.

"Now that dinner is over, I believe we left off somewhere." He says giving me his casual smirk and offering me his hand. I got up and took his hand.

"If we HAVE to." I say. He smirks and vamp speeds us to our room.

I wake up to birds chirping outside the window. I take a deep breath and get out of Klaus's grip. He shifts a bit, but doesn't wake up. I take a quick shower and silently I slip on a pair of blue jeans and my thick three inch boots. I put on a sweater over the T-shirt -Klaus's shirt- and move towards the bed. I plant a kiss on his cheek and go downstairs. Leaving a note behind:

'Went out to buy groceries, I'll be back soon.

Call me when you wake up.

I love you,

Caroline'

Careful not to make too much noise I tiptoe down the stairs and head outside. I take the car keys out of my bag and start the engine. Once I pull out of the driveway I take out my phone and dial Damon's number. I put it on speaker and set my phone on the phone holder that was stuck to the front window of the SUV. After a few rings he picked up.
