During dinner Caroline tried really hard not to stare at Nik, instead she focused on how Kol looked at Elena and how her friend looked at him. The two of them stealing glances and knowing looks with little smiles every so often. She couldn't remember a time ever seeing Elena looking at Stefan or Damon like that. Then her mind wandered off onto to the Mikaelson sitting next to her. He was definitely hot, with those long eye lashes, dark blue eyes and his soft looking, slightly curly ginger brown hair and that accent.
"Caroline? Caroline? Earth to Caroline...." Elena said amused that Caroline was lost in thought about something.
"What? Sorry I was lost in lala land" Caroline said slightly embarrassed at where her mind was wandering off too.
"What do you think about in lala land" Nik smirked as she whipped her head around to look at him with guilt written on her face.
"None of your business" she said trying to avoid looking at him at all and turning slightly red.
"I'm going to assume it was about me" Nik teased her.
"No, I was thinking how cute Kol and Elena are together" she said.
"Guess we'll have to take your word for it" he chuckled.
Elena and Bonnie exchanged a look then they both chanced a glance at Caroline who was slightly red in the face and at a loss for words and avoiding making eye contact with Nik. They looked back at one another with big grins, yep Caroline liked the big, bad wolf/vampire.
After dinner Bonnie and Tristen left so they could get to the movies on time, Kol was helping Elena clean up in the kitchen leaving Caroline alone with Nik in the living room.
"Would you like a drink to pass the time?" Nik asked her offering her a glass of bourbon.
"Sure, why not" she said hoping the drink would relax her, so she took the glass and slammed it down like a shot.
"Refill?" he smirked in amusement, knowing he made her nervous as he poured her another. Caroline slammed down that one too, holding out her glass for a third time.
"Yes, thank you" she said with a slight giggle.
"You may want to slow down there love" Nik suggested.
"What if I don't want too?" she said challenging him.
"Then you will have a wonderful hangover in the morning to go to school with" he said.
"Good point" Caroline said as she took a sip.
"I enjoyed this evening" Kol said as he helped Elena clear the table.
"Me too, I think everyone had a good time" she said just as they heard Caroline laughing in the living room, in turn making them smile at each other.
"Sounds like they are hitting off, after he plied her with alcohol" Kol chuckled.
"At least she having fun" Elena said as she finished putting away the rest of the food.
"Ok love the kitchen it clean shall we join them?" he asked.
"Yeah" Elena said as she went to walk past him. He blocked her path, backing her up against the counter and gave her a kiss.
"I've been waiting to do that all through dinner" he smiled against her lips as he backed away.
"Come on, let's join them before Caroline passes out" she laughed as she grabbed his hand pulling him with her.
"Ah, you two done in the kitchen? I would have offered to help but someone such as myself decided to keep the young lady company" Nik said with a grin.
"That's ok, we got it all taken care of" Elena said as she poured Kol and herself a drink.
"Always the gentleman Nik" Kol smirked at his brother.
"He is a gentleman" Caroline said defending him, slurring her words.
"See, she seems to think so" Nik teased.
"Caroline how much have you had to drink?" Elena asked her.
"This is only my third glass" Caroline said proudly.
Elena looked over at Klaus and he was holding up five fingers, and quickly put his hand down when Caroline turned to look at him. Elena just smiled and shook her head as she leaned back sitting next to Kol. Then Caroline had gotten up to turn on some music, wanting Nik to dance with her. Not one to turn down a lady he obliged, thankful it was slow song. Kol stood up offering his hand to Elena, when she took it he pulled her close to dance.
A short time later Nik and Kol got up to leave and Caroline said her goodnights and headed upstairs to Elena's bedroom. Nik headed outside as Kol and Elena said their goodnights, he was almost to the SUV when he stopped and turned towards his left. Kol had turned about the same time as his brother, sensing something wasn't right.
"Elena I want you go back inside, lock the door and stay in your room with Caroline until we come back" Kol said quickly as he joined Nik and followed the scent.
Elena did as she was told and she sat in her window seat peeking out of the curtain every so often waiting for them to return. Then she remembered she hadn't locked the back door, just as she got up to lock her bedroom door she heard someone in the house. She grabbed her phone sending Kol a text just as someone was trying to get into her bedroom.
Someone is trying to get in my room
By the time Kol and Nik made it back to the house even using their vampire speed, the back door was wide open. Kol ran up the stairs calling Elena's name only to see her bedroom door open and both girls gone. He hurried back downstairs to see Nik standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"They're gone, that wolf scent was meant to throw us off. I swear when we find whoever did this..." Kol said with anger and worry.
"Guaranteed brother whoever is responsible won't live to see another day, get ahold of Freya to do a locator spell now" Nik said as he called up Elijah.
"Freya I need you to do a locator spell to find Elena and Caroline" Kol said barely keeping his temper under control.
"I'm on it" she said as they hung up.
"Elijah, drop whatever you're doing. Kol and I are headed home now. I'll explain once we get there" Nik said.
Nik and Kol got home and dashed inside, Kol ran upstairs to seek Freya out on finding Elena and Caroline's location. Elijah had been standing by the window watching for them to come home. Whatever was going on appeared not to be good. He watched his youngest brother run up the stairs as he walked over to Nik.
"What's going on?" Elijah asked with concern.
"We are going on a wolf hunt once Freya finds out where Elena and Caroline are" Nik said with anger in his eyes.
"Wolves took them? When did this happen?" Elijah asked.
"Just as Kol and I were leaving, we were distracted by wolf scent while someone got into the house and took them" he said.
"Did you find out where they are?" Elijah asked Kol as he was coming down the stairs.
"They're near the lake house Elena took me to last weekend, but I didn't see any houses or smell any wolves while out there" Kol said.
"Ok then, let's head out there. We are going on a wolf hunt dear brothers" Nik smirked.
"Just make sure you are close by if Elijah or I get bitten by one" Kol grinned.
"Shall we?" Elijah said as the three of them headed out.
