Original Sin

Chapter 11

Klaus opened the door of the mansion and stepped out to the balcony overlooking the courtyard of the compound with Elijah beside him. The night had been calm so far, the few daywalkers and vampires have all been camped out in the dark with little to no banter going on. Elijah glanced at his brother, "brother, don't you think it would cause an uproar to have werewolves just walk into the compound without notice?"

Klaus smirked, "what's a little bedlam, and besides I'm in need of entertainment. It would also give the wolves some cause for discomfort to be amongst natural enemies. I for one want to see how both kinds react to one another, wouldn't you?"

Elijah shook his head and exhaled, "what I want to see is a healthy alliance, not discord amongst the supernatural community. A little support brother from you will go a long way."

Klaus raised his hands up, "I do not intend to stand in your way brother. There is just matters to discuss with the wolf clan and my supposed ancestors," eying the entrance of Jackson and Oliver, the werewolves he had summoned. Jackson and Oliver paused slightly at the entrance of the courtyard watching the vampires across the courtyard as they had seized whatever they were doing to face the pair.

Klaus from his perch called out to the werewolves, "as you can see, the Quarter is full of supernaturals, vampires are a large contingent of them. Your presence here is a minority, still debatable if my brother were to be asked his opinion. I however, being part werewolf myself have no such issue with you. Nevertheless, I implore you to tread carefully, your company is not exactly a welcome sight as of yet."

Caroline heard a whistle as Kol looked in on her as she was doing some finishing touches on her make-up. Caroline scrunched her face, "you don't think it's a bit too much?"

Kol pretended to circle Caroline looking at her ensemble up and down, "tight leather pants, a barely their tank top and knee high boots....I don't think so. What is think is you're not only going to give my brother a heart-attack but you're going have everyone else falling over themselves. Way to make your debut as Queen, sister dear."

Caroline turned around to face Kol, "not quite Queen," scrunching her face, "I don't really like that title. But really, that's twice you called me sister."

Kol wiggled his brows, "you like that don't you. Well, it won't be the last time for sure, like I said. I've watched you with my brother. You're good for him and he's good for you. If you want my honest opinion I think you are the only one standing in the way of your own happiness," shrugging, "but I guess I understand, my brother has always been complicated."

Caroline bit her lip, "that's exactly how Elijah described your brother."

"Hey, I'm his brother after all. Complicated runs in the family." Placing his hands on Caroline's shoulders, "you've understood him and opened him up more in the last few months than any of us could have done in a thousand years."

Caroline smiled, "when did you get to be so wise Kol Mikaelson, where did the juvenile boy go."

Kol grinned, "he's still here," making lewd gestures to himself. "But seriously, my brother couldn't have chosen a better mate. Would you ever have thought in a thousand years that you would be a Mikaelson."

Caroline laughed to cover her sudden uneasiness, "I'm not a Mikaelson, Kol."

Kol wiggled his finger, "yet."

Caroline exhaled, "stop right there. You're making me nervous. I need to be calm the first time I meet Klaus' werewolf clan."

Kol kissed Caroline cheek, before turning her around and pushing her outside of the bedroom, "you're more than ready, sister. Now Go."
