WARRIOR QUEEN • N. MIKAELSON [1]

Chapter 15

Meanwhile in Mystic Falls High School...

Back in the gym hall, Caroline and Tyler were slow dancing. Niklaus walked in and stared at them. He wasn't in a good mood since he couldn't find Machae earlier since he thought they could go to this stupid dance together. Tyler saw him.

"What is it?" the blonde vampire asked.

"Where've you been mate?" the hybrid asked making his presence known to the blonde.

"I just got back in town." Tyler answered.

"That's funny, I don't recall giving you permission to leave in the first place. You don't mind if I cut in, do you?" he said sarcastically.

"Yes! Actually we do." Caroline snapped.

"No, it's fine." the boy backed down and moved away from the girl.

"Why do you always have to prove you're the alpha male?!"

"I don't have to prove anything, love. I am the alpha male. Come on, one dance, I won't bite."

Caroline looked at Tyler and then skeptically took Niklaus' offered hand. He lead her out onto the dance floor.

"You would've loved the 1920s, Caroline. The girls were reckless, sexy, fun. They literally used to dance until they dropped."

"Hmpf, I don't suppose that ever happened to their dance partners."

"You should be nicer to me. I'm leaving town tomorrow. I'd invite you to come with me but we both know you're not ready to accept my offer. Perhaps one day, in a year, or even in a century you'll turn up at my door and let me show you what the world has to offer."

He stared into her eyes. Caroline looked away.

"Hmpf!"

"You mark my words. A small town boy, a small town life, it won't be enough for you."

Niklaus left her. She looked at him confused. Outside, Niklaus was talking on the phone as he walked away.

A few rings sounded before it went straight to voicemail. Again. "Mae I swear. Answer your goddamn phone! Damn it!"

He called another number. Kol. it said his phone was inactive. 'He turned off his phone' he thought. He sighed and called his sister.

"Rebekah, call me back immediately! I only came to this ridiculous dance because you begged me to and now you and Mae are nowhere to be found." He grumbled.

He stared at his phone and called the dark hair girl again but similar to before it went straight to voicemail.

"Please do not ignore me, love." He whispered.

Niklaus saw the salt line and stopped.

"What is this?"

Stefan walked up behind him.

"Your mother is back." He said.
