The Dark Side of New Orleans (Revive #2)

Chapter 2: Symbols

My head hurt, like something was being dragged through my mind and attempting to come out. The memories of my conversation with Klaus last night were a blur, I knew Hayley was pregnant and I knew that I wasn't angry at Klaus.

I made my way to the frame of the kitchen but abruptly stopped at the sound of Klaus' voice.

"What the hell is going on Sophie?"

I peered my head over just enough to see a small women with long, dark brown hair.

"I don't know Klaus," Sophie rubbed her head "she shouldn't be remembering. I put a second layer of the spell on her but it drained me and what's worse is she's fighting it."

Who's fighting the spell, are they talking about me? Why would Klaus need to put a spell on me?

"I think it needs to be renewed." The witch told him.

Klaus looked at her as if she was stupid. "Then renew it." He grumbled.

She shook her head "I can't," she explained "the only person that can renew it is the one who cast it in the first place. Find Lucy Bennett."

What was this, a Bennett witch cast a spell on me? Lucy, god, why did that name sound so familiar?

Klaus poured himself a glass of bourbon "I can't just bring Lucy Bennett out here," he tipped the glass back "how did you know it was her that did the spell?"

Sophie raised her head high "Each witch has a certain symbol, rocks, wind, leaves and maybe even fire." She turned around and dropped her dark red shawl, revealing a low cut shirt in the back.

In between her shoulder blades was a black tree full of dark leaves that would blow off across her back in a steady motion and continue doing the same thing over and over again. It was quite mesmerizing.

"Aging." She said.

Klaus pulled his gaze away from her back. "What?"

She turned to face him "Mine is the power of aging, just as Lucy's was the power of control but Lucy signed Caroline's mind."

Oh my God, they are talking about me.

"Despite being a vampire it took Caroline four ye-" she was cut off short by the screams that erupted from my mouth.

I held my hands to my head, crying in agony. I fell backwards and felt hands around me.

Sophie fell to her knees in front of me "Let it in Caroline," she spoke soothingly "you have to let it in."

"Easy love." Klaus whispered in my ear.

--

"Easy love," Klaus says, catching me "we don't need any collateral damage."

I wrap my arms around him and dig my face into his shoulder laughing "you fancy me." I say laughing and speaking in a British accent.

He rolls his eyes "I think it's time I take you home." He says lifting me up.

I stop him "no no no no." I say pushing on his chest "I don't want you to leave me."

Klaus looks at me in disbelief but it soon turned to happiness. "I would never, love."

--

The pain disappeared slowly, it was horrible, the worst pain I had felt in my life.

I planted my face in Klaus' chest, letting silent tears flow freely. "What the hell is going on?"

--

I wrapped myself up in a blanket, planting myself on the couch because I was still shaken from the pain that had been shooting through my head.

Sophie handed me a mug of what I suspected was blood. I sipped on it.

"What did you see Caroline?" Sophie asked me.

I shook my head "Nothing." I lied.

"That's a load of crap," she replied "tell me Caroline."

I bit my lip "He uh-" I stuttered on my words. "It's just," I put my hands to my head "whenever Klaus says something or something happens I feel weak and its like in reliving something that's already happened. Like when I was turned."

Sophie smiled "That still doesn't answer my question Caroline."

"Breakfast," Klaus walked into the room with a smile "what would you like."

"Eggs Benny." I replied and something about it was incredibly familiar.

Klaus' face dropped.

I sunk deeper into the chair "I did it again, didn't I?"

--

I think it's shorter than the first one but UPDATE!

I swear Julie Plec made up the originals so she wouldn't have to deal with 2 massive ships at once .
