First Time In New Orleans

"Yes." She didn't hesitate.....at all.

"Really?" Klaus said disbelievingly.

"Of course!" Caroline smiled at his disbelief. "You think I was just pretending to be happy all these months!" She laughed, "I love you, Klaus….."

He kissed her. She smiled.

A phone rang, Klaus took it out of his pocket.

"Hello?" Klaus didn't recognize the number.

"This is Jane-Ann Deveraux." He didn't recognize the voice. "I need you to come to Mystic Falls!"

"And why would I be interested?" He told her.

"Because, you would have an interest!" She replied, "When I tell you, I need help to fight against Marcel Gerard!"

"Marcel?" Klaus looked shocked. "Marcel Gerard is alive?"

"He rules New Orleans!" She told him.

Klaus's eyes widened.

"I don't believe you!" He told her.

"I'll text you a photo!"

Klaus and Caroline looked at the photo. It was him, Klaus recognized him. He hadn't seen Marcel in almost one hundred years.

"Okay..Okay!" He exhaled sharply, "I'll be there, seven hours."

"I'll be there to see you at the airport!" A happy voice returned.

Klaus turned off the phone, he looked at Caroline.

"Go!" She told him, "You should go…...I'll go back to Mystic Falls, we can celebrate later!"

She nodded.

"Two days," He told her, "I'll come back in two days, and I'll get some people and throw you one hell of an engagement party!"

She laughed.

"Okay…" She smiled.

And that's when she last saw him. And she was curious when he didn't come back the third day. She got worried when he didn't pick his phone. She got upset when she couldn't get a hold of Elijah, when she did, he didn't know where Klaus was. She decided to go to New Orleans to look for him on the seventh day.

Caroline Forbes stepped out of the car, she was looking for Klaus. She slammed the door or the car, she was frustrated and worried.

She walked ahead, quietly, her head down.

"Aren't you such a cute little meal?"

She turned around.

"What?" She said,

"Marcel Gerard!" He replied. Baring his vampire teeth. "Food for me…."

He came nearer to bite her, she pushed him away, he slammed into a lamp post.

"I am a vampire, Marcel!" She told him. "Your little tricks won't work on me!"

"My bad…" He stood up, and wiped his hands on his shirt. "Who are you?"

"I am Caroline Forbes." She smiled, "A vampire wolf…...And I am looking for Klaus Mikaelson!"

"You are one of them?" He spluttered. "Klaus's hybrids?"

"That's where you are wrong!" Caroline smiled. "I am an unsired Hybrid…...in fact, the only unsired hybrid….."

He couldn't say anything.

"Why are you here?" He asked.

"Klaus Mikaelson….Where is he?" She asked.

"You want to get to your wolf bloodline?" Marcel asked her, "All the wolves live in the bayou."

He told her quickly.

"No…!" She shook her hands. "I want to see Klaus! Klaus Mikaelson….The Original Hybrid?"

She told him.

"I don't know where he is!" Marcel told her, "But Hayley Marshall is in the bayou….Maybe you want to see her!"

She shook her head.

"I'll find him, myself!" She almost shouted at him. "And….Ever try to eat me, Marcel Gerard. It won't end well for you!" She squared her shoulders, smiled and walked away.

She found her way towards the bayou. She found it.

"Caroline?" Hayley Marshall was standing on the end of the lake. "Is that you?"

She walked ahead.

"It's me…."

"Caroline…" She shook her hand. "What are you doing here?"

"I am looking for Klaus." Caroline told her. "Klaus…"

"I knew about you, Caroline!" Hayley told her, "You are coming over looking for your wolf family."

"No...I am not!" She exclaimed sharply, "Why does everyone assume that! I am looking for Klaus….And that is it!"

She almost yelled.

"Really?" Hayley said, in an unbelievable tone. "I don't believe it! I mean Klaus talked about you two….But never believed it!"

"Hayley…" She shook her head, "I have been a vampire for seven years, and I thought I was going off the rails when I made the first kill…...and transitioned into a wolf…" She explained, "Klaus helped me through a very hard time, and...….if you know where he is, just tell me!"

"You killed one human after seven years after being a human." Hayley looked shocked. "I get it…."

"Get what?"

"Why is everyone drooling over you!" She told Caroline. "Stefan, Klaus….It's amazing how amazing it is. They are fascinated by how in control you are."

She looked at Caroline in awe.

"It's because you are in control of everything….Your blood urges, your emotions….everything!"

"If you know where Klaus is!" She told Hayley, "Please tell me!!"

"I know you are from the Laboniar bloodline!" She told Caroline, "They are here….They are all here! I am their alpha, after Jackson!"

"I am not....."

"You can be the alpha with me, I think you can be a great help!" She told her, "You being a hybrid, and connections to Klaus...We'll have a seat at the table!"

Caroline shook her impatiently, she couldn't understand why everyone was focusing on her trying to find her wolf ancestors.

"Hayley…" She begged him, "Just tell me, if you know where he is…"

"Caroline! If you can't accept the leadership, while sharing it with me."

She exhaled sharply.

"This is for my pack," She told Caroline, "A hybrid leader will give wolves strength."

Hayley was on her knees,

"Caroline…..I, hereby, pledge my loyalty to you!"

"NO!" Caroline yelled. "This is not what I came for!"

She took Hayley's hand, and pulled her up.

"I can't take this from you….You are the alpha!"

"You can help these people!" Hayley told her, "The pack, one of them…..will pledge their loyalty to you!"

She told her.

"They need you," Hayley continued, "They will need a good leader, you can be one with me....they can get a place in the quarter!"

Caroline looked in deep thought.

"I'll think about it!" She told her, "But now, if you have seen Klaus?"

"Why are you so obsessed with Klaus?" Hayley asked, her eyes glinted, She was smiling.

"I am Klaus's fiancé." She said softly.

"Wait, What?" Hayley almost shouted. "I don't believe it!"

"It's true…" She told Hayley.

"How the hell did that happen?" She asked Caroline, extremely shocked.

"I'll tell you later," Caroline smiled, "I have to find Klaus, he told me he was going to New Orleans a week ago." She told her, "He said, for two days."

"I'm sorry, Caroline…" She told Caroline, "I haven't seen Klaus in a couple of years."

"I know he's here!" Caroline almost snapped, "A witch, Deveraux, she called him here!"

"Jane Ann Deveraux, or Sophie?" She asked.

"Jane Ann! That's the one!" Caroline exclaimed. "Can I find her?"

"The French Quarter!" Hayley told her, "Hold on, I'll come with you."

"Thanks!" Caroline smiled. "I don't know my way around the city."

Hayley and Caroline walked out of the Bayou. In the city,

"What are you looking at?" Caroline asked her, as Hayley looked around, it was dark. She looked around the empty streets.

"Just…..Marcel's night walkers."

"Nightwalkers?"

"They watch, if wolves come in the city, he kills them." Hayley explained.

"They kill the wolves?" Caroline looked shocked. "That's why you are trying to get them into the city?"

They were quiet for a second.

"Really?" Caroline almost shouted, "Marcel kills the wolves?"

"That's why I was asking you to help me." Hayley told her.

"I will….I promise!" She told Hayley. "Once I find Klaus….I think he is in trouble."

"Look who we have here!" Seven night walkers jumped out of nowhere.

"Hayley Marshall!" A nightwalker stood in front of them, "Haven't you learned anything!?"

"And who is this!?" Another night walker grabbed Caroline's hands.

"Let go!" She pulled her hands off his grip.

"Ooooh...A strong one!"

The nightwalkers laughed. He tried to attack Caroline, when she pushed him off.

She held him by the throat and held him almost a foot above the ground.

"You newbie vampires are so arrogant!" She shook her head.

Hayley was fighting off the vampires, she was only a wolf, but she was fierce, she had two vampires on the ground.

But they stopped to look at Caroline.

"She's a vampire...."

A nightwalker whispered. Caroline released the vampire from her grip, he fell down, took a few steps back, and stumbled.

The other night walkers didn't back down. One of them felt he could take Caroline down again.

He approached her, Caroline pushed him back.

He fell across the street.

"I am not just a vampire!" She told them, "I am a vampire with control you haven't seen before!"

Hayley looked away, shaking her head. She was getting some of Klaus's habits. Bragging about the power she had.

"I am a hybrid, The Hybrid!…..I have more power your king 'Marcel'" She used air quotes, "Has ever seen, and If I don't find Klaus in the next few minutes…..I'll tell you what I'll do!"

She growled loudly.

The nightwalkers ran.

"That was fun…." Caroline smiled, "I see what Klaus says, The power, the fear people have of you, it's exhilarating!"
