Locked to alpha_hybrid & without_reason

[puzzle_piece]

The last memory before her death as she lay on the cold hardwood floor was that of the first dance they had attended as a newlywed couple, she remembered how his breath had been a constant warmth on the base of her neck. She stood in his arms, overflowing of champagne could be heard as her eyes closed in relaxation. Nik leading her across the dance floor with a firm hand on her hip, the scent of her husband overwhelming all senses just as it was the moment she realised death was facing her again.

Her true loves name on her lips as she gasped her last breath, her entire body convulsing before becoming still.

The partying and chatter filled the air as Kol kept fetching the two of them drinks. Considering the fact he knew Nik would probably be after his blood, Kol surprisingly didn’t care. If anything he was relaxed and happy to get some time with Caroline. The Caroline he remembered before she decided to be with Nik. “Sorry I had to take you like that.” He smirked, leading them through the crowds of people and closer to the main hall. “But who needs to be standing in a forest early hours of the morning when you could be here.” And with that he walked with her into the main hall of the college. All the rooms, even the corridors were covered in black lights and bright colored neon’s. Kol found himself laughing at the various drunks dancing badly as he and Caroline pushed past them.

“Now I know you don’t want to be here but give me a chance Caroline.” His fingers curled around hers as he spun her into the crowd and smoothly into a dance with him. “One night, the freedom to do what we want, when we want it.” Although just as complex and devilish at times, Kol was being genuine with Caroline. He wanted to appeal to the part of her that might remember him. The part that Caroline would understand that they were close and Kol would never hurt her. If anything he treated her with the respect she deserved. All the time they danced he never once took the opportunity to let his hands wander. He was simply having fun.

The more alcohol flowed, the more he revelled in his company. At a quieter part of one of the tracks he leant in close to Caroline’s ear. “You know you look beautiful right? I’ve counted at least six guys checking you out.” Kol pulled back to let their eyes meet and he laughed. “Not nearly as good looking as I am but it’s not bad considering we’re at a college party.” The music continued to play, the alcohol kept flowing until it washed away any fears, doubts even worries of the last past day. Kol was simply living in the moment and was trying to show Caroline that letting go with him wasn’t such a bad thing. Her memories were clearly causing her pain so why not forget them and make new memories. There was a time were Kol and her were inseparable. That bond can soon be found again. She just had to trust him and that charm she nearly lost herself to once before.

“We should get something to eat, anyone here you like?” His devilish eyes reluctantly tore themselves away from Caroline’s to look at a couple who were having an argument by a few barrels of beer. “I vote break up food but it’s your choice.”

For the period of time Caroline had been tucked under Kol's arm she worried at the re-precautions these particular actions would have on Niklaus, with the way he had been with her she knew that this would have an affect on him. that the anger she had witnessed and felt from him previously when spoke to by his siblings would reappear once he awoke to realize she had been taken away from him. Caroline was sure that she had heard a pained shout from far away and wondered whether it could possibly have come from Niklaus. She had had no other option but to go with Kol she just hoped that he knew that.

The more drinks Kol brought to her she slowly began to realize that the alcohol was having no effect on her body which had her questioning whether this was due to her vampire status.

"You are not sorry, Kol or you wouldn't have done it in the first place. You cannot just take young girls when you fancy and take them where you please." Placing her drink down on a nearby table she stopped walking and folded her arms in defiance, at his laughter she found herself rolling her eyes at him and the behaviour the other young people were displaying. She may be close to them in age but this just isn't her. As he unfolded her arms and entwined their fingers she allowed herself to be dragged to dance but as Caroline put her head to his chest she felt deja vu of what she believed to be a time when she had danced before. Within that moment she knew that it had not been with ihm yet for some reason Caroline still felt a warmth at being held by him.

At his words she felt anger again at how easily he spoke down to her, making her feel slightly filthy, her hand colliding with his face. "You should be thankful that isn't my fist." She spoke before super-speeding away from him. Why did he have to do that when she was finally feeling something more for him then she had done before.
