The Dark Side of New Orleans (Revive #2)

Chapter 6: Time

"Take me home." I told her, though there was no question in my voice, there was doubt. I knew she wouldn't take me out.

She raised her eyebrow. "Home to Mystic Falls or to Niklaus?"

I but my lip, not dare answering her question. I looked down to find my younger self wrapped in Niklaus's arms. His hands drifting through my, her, hair.

"There's still much to see." Bonnie's Grams said

"I don't want to see it." Klaus nuzzled his head it my neck and I cringed at the sight. I was too angry at the forgiveness my younger self gave him but I wasn't about to lie and say that I didn't notice the guilt that lay flat in his eyes because lord knows I did.

She shook her head, obviously seeing the same thing I was. "I've never, in all of Niklaus's time, seen him act they way he does when he is around you. You're an exception to his misery."

"He doesn't act mighty fine around me if that's what you're saying." I spat my words at her like venom was spreading throughout my mouth.

"You'll understand soon."

"No," I replied "no I won't."

...

Elijah P.O.V

"Is she okay?" Hayley asked me, a worried look on her face.

I smiled at the sight of it. "Indeed, she is under the watch of Bennett witches."

She scoffed. "You trust them."

I shook my head. "Not with my own life but Caroline is friends with a Bennett witch herself as you should know."

Hayley had a guilty expression on her face then. I had acted like I hadn't heard about the things that happened in Mystic Falls since her arrival but I disliked knowing the fact she hadn't have a clue.

"Bonnie," Hayley's expression changed "do you know how she's doing by chance?"

I shook my head. "As far as Niklaus is concerned, Caroline says she's staying with her mother."

Hayley nodded. "I don't understand how their relationship works." She blurted out.

I ran my finger tips across her dresser. "Niklaus has a peculiar way of showing affection, he showed affection towards his family by brutality and although he captured us in coffins he guaranteed us safety. The same goes for Caroline, he'll push her away if she does the same, he will try for her and he will also give up. In the end of course if someone were to touch Caroline," I stopped, looking at the dust underneath my finger tips, I turned to her "he would not hesitate to kill them."

...

Caroline P.O.V

He loved me.

I had accused him of loving me the day he bit me but he had never honestly said it and now he just did.

My throat welled up and I couldn't help but follow myself and Klaus into his bedroom where I wrapped myself around him.

"I love you, I love you, I love you." He kept repeating the same thing as he kissed traces down my body. My stomach fluttered, why didn't I remember this. Something so perfect and he took it away from me.

Then it happened, he traced his lips against my neck and I saw the restraint in his face when he bit into me.

Now I understood why remembering was a big deal because he did everything wrong. He couldn't have one moment where something went right without ruining it. I was a food source and he accidentally fell in love.

Dumb bastard didn't know I was on vervain though.

He dropped to the ground, gasping and choking for breath when "vervain" slipped out of his lips and I did the most ridiculous thing as I watched the two of them with confused looks on their faces.

I laughed.

...

After that he didn't talk to my younger self for a week and after younger me was threatened by Katherine I knew he was beginning to worry.

He drank an entire bottle of bourbon before I got to his place and the sight in front of me was funny yet heartbreaking.

I wasn't expecting him to burst into tears at the sight of me, my younger self cautiously held him in her arms when he collapsed to the floor.

...

This was the Lucy Bennett they were talking about. She threatened him, she was forcing him away. Why did she do that? It was unfair.

There wasn't much I could do but cry when Klaus gave me an offer to stay with him forever and I declined. I wanted to die right there, knowing that I was aimlessly in love with him and I couldn't remember.

Until now.

I wasn't quite sure how I felt about Niklaus but it was strong and I wanted it to grow.

When the hotel room emptied, I sat on the bed and curled up in the sheets, tears spilling over my eyes.

"Do you understand now Caroline?" Bonnie's grams asked me.

"That he loved me?"

"Yes but no." She replied.

I shook my head and frowned. "You want me to save him because you think that only I can."

"No, Caroline." She said. "I want you to kill him."

...
