CHAPTER FORTY-NINE; THE CURE

chapter forty-nine
( frost )

       JACK WALKED into Klaus's mansion just as Stefan was leaving. The vampire had a dumbstruck look on his face, deep in his thoughts as per usual. He probably wouldn't have even noticed Jack if he hadn't stopped him, "Hey, what're you doing here?" he asked.

      Stefan looked at him, just now realizing he'd been there. "Uh, discussing some things with your brother. I've gotta get going though," he excused.

     "Wait, Stefan, um I wanted to asked if you've talked to Caroline lately? I haven't seen her in a while and I haven't been able to reach her and I know we're all not on the best of terms right now but she's still my sister, is she okay?" Jack questioned.

     It was weird not talking to anyone of his old friends and if he was honest with himself deep down he sort of missed what it was like before. Before all this original drama and before Jack's entire life changed. He didn't miss Max and he was glad he had his family and Jaime but the little things like hanging out with Care and Bonnie he missed. And Liz, god he missed when she'd bring home dinner late at night after a shift.

     Stefan nodded, like he couldn't wait to get out of here. "Yeah she's good. As good as she can be with everything that's happened. She misses you too though, I can tell" he admitted with a little smile.

     Jack smiled at that, "Yeah I miss her too"

      Stefan scratched the back of his neck like something was really occupying his mind. "I'll tell her to call you, sorry, Jack I really have to go" he said as nicely as he could before leaving the house.

      That wasn't weird at all, Jack thought before heading into the living room of the gigantic house and finding Klaus with a drink in his hand looking out the window.

      "Hey, just bumped into Stefan acting like he was sneaking out after a one night stand. What were you two talking about?" Jack asked while also pouring himself a drink.

        Klaus turned around with an unusual expression that seemed almost happy. "Oh nothing, just old friends catching up. And if I remember correctly you're not old enough to drink" he reprimanded joking.

        Jack laughed at that, "You're a couple years late for that one," he said. Klaus and Stefan were definitely up to something and he intended on finding out what that was. Klaus was never this calm unless he was planning something. "So tell me what you guys were 'catching up on' or I'll just keep assuming you fucked" he taunted before taking a seat on one of the couches.

           Klaus's eyes looked surprised, "Never pegged you as nosy, little brother" he admitted with an amused look before letting out a sigh, "I may or may not have just found out some very interesting information. Something that could change a lot of lives" he said secretly.
