where it all started (klaroline)

challenges

"Kol stop." I laugh out loud as he throws flour at me. Esther was at the market so she asked kol to help me make bread. Which was a bad idea.
I had been here for 2 weeks now and it was great. I was getting close with everyone they were becoming my bestfriends. My family.
"Kol what have you done mother is gonna kill you." Klaus says as him, elijah, and rebekah walk into the house. I run over to klaus and crack an egg on his head. He smirks as he runs to me and picks me up by the waist and swings me.
"Niklaus put me down." I squel as rebekah and Elijah start to attack kol then each other.
"Not in a thausand years love." I break free of his grasp and run out the backdoor towards the woods so no one will see us.
I see the fountain and run to it hearing klaus behind me.
"Love slow down."
"Catch me."
I see the water now and jump into it. Klaus follows and jumps in.
I break through the water and rise to the surface. Klaus wasn't there. I turned trying to see him.
"Niklaus." I call out. Nothing
"Niklaus please. Your scaring me." Just then a hand grabs my waist and turns me around. Just like last time only we were under water.
"I caught you love. What's my reward."
"What do you wish." I say smiling our faces only a few inches away.

"Nik." A familiar voice calls out.
"Tatia." Klaus says running out of the water to meet her before she sees me.
"What are you doing here."
"Just cleaning myself off."
"A rumor is going around that you no longer are courting me. Thats not true now is it." She says grinding against him. Rage burns through me. He pushes her away gently.
"The rumors are true. You have Elijah i no longer want to fight with my brother over you. When you just like the attension of two men fighting over you."
"Fine but know you will never have a chance with me again if you let me walk away." She turns and begins to walk away and he doesnt say a thing.
I get out a run back to the house.

I step through the backdoor to see the house completely clean. I try to sneak back to my room but someone grabs me and pulls me into their room.

Lips meet mine. A burning sensation feels my mouth as their tounge enters. I push them away to see Kol grinning at me. He goes to kiss me but i turn my face.
"What's wrong."
"Kol.... I.... I can't."
"Why not. Just give me a chance." He says before kissing me again for a few seconds i allow it. Its not like when i kiss Klaus. With klaus its like my whole bodies on fire everywhere he touches. His hands move to my thighs as he lefts me up. He pushes me against a wall.
"Nik." I moan.
He pulls away and lets go of me.
"Did you just call me Nik."
"Kol i.... I don't like you that way. Your one of my bestfriends. But i don't love you. Im so sorry."
"Its okay care just never talk to me agian." He says as he opens the door.
"Kol please.... Don't hate me. I can't lose you."
"GET OUT." He yells. I flinch and move out of the room. He slams it. I look to the right to see an angry klaus.
"Nik its not-"
"No its fine." He interrupts me as he goes to his room and slams the door.
I start sobbing atleast i had Rebekah and Elijah left. Henrick was like a little brother i couldn't talk to him.
I went to rebekahs room and banged on the door. I was so happy and just like that i lost so much.
"Care what's wrong." She says grabbing me and pulling me into her room.
I try to catch my breath as i sob more and more. She just holds me which i was truly greatful for.

"Dinner." Esther called out. I heard everyones door open and close.
"Caroline we have to go eat." Rebekah whispered as she moved the hair out of my face.
"Everyone hates me."
"I don't hate you nor does anyone else. We all love you now come on lets go eat."

We head down the stairs and sit in our assigned seats. Klaus and Kol stared down at their hands. Tears rolled down my face silently and Esther noticed.
"Love why are you crying."
Everybodys eyes went to me even Kols and Klaus'.
"I... I." I stood up from the table and ran as fast and as far as i could. I needed to talk to someone but i had no one to talk to.
I stood by the water raking my hands through my hair.
"Are you okay." Tatias voice rung out.
"Yes im im fi..ne....." I started sobbing. She ran up to me and grabbed me before i fell to the ground. She lowered me slowly dowm as she assured me it was okay. I told her what happened.
"Im sorry. I've been through the same thing."
She wasn't that bad she was actually nice.
After a while of talking i built it up to ask her what i had on my mind.
"So who do you fancy."
"Well... To be honest i love Elijah. I want to be with him. I was so selfish over them for so long. Now its clear. I've always loved Elijah."
She got up and i asked her where she was going.
"Ill be back in like 10 minutes." She smiled and i waited.

Klaus pov (past)

We sat at the table in shock. Why was she upset i saw her leave kols room.
"What have you done." Esther snapped at all of us.
"Nothing." Elijah said still in shock.
"Dinners over." Esther said picking up the plates and going out to clean them.
"Now Niklaus what did you do." Elijah said turning to me.
"Nothing i was just upset with her and was ignoring her." Just then Tatia burst through the door. She looked right at me then slapped me. She slapped me. Kol burst out laughing then she smacked him too.
"What the bloody hell was that for." I growled.
"You both sicken me. Being pricks because you both want Caroline. She doesn't want to kiss you kol so you act like a child. Nik you see her walk out of kols bedroom so you ignore her. Its disgusting and now you have her sobbing because she's afraid to lose both of you. Grow up." She yelled before leaving and slamming the door.
"The truth comes out." Elijah said before standing up and leaving. Rebekah gives us a disapproving look as she goes upstairs.
"She's the best thing to happen to us. You better fix things or we might lose her." Henrick said before going upstairs.
I looked at kol and we both just sat in silence.

Carolines pov:

I heard crunching to see tatia then Elijah behind her.
"Hey care you okay." Elijah asked sitting next to me.
"Im fine thanks to Tatia." I say smiling then turn to her ,"Thank you by the way."
"Its no problem. I like you Caroline and ill be here if you need anyone."
"Thanks again. Im gonna head home. You two need to spend time with each other." I say winking at them.

I slowly open the door. Tommorrow i would go searching for Amara.
For now i would try to sleep. I walk into the home to see two people at the table.
I make out one head.
"Nik."
"Im here too." Kol called out.
"Why are you too still awake."
"We wanted to talk to you." Klaus said. I grab a candle and carry it to the table.
"So..."
"We wanted to apologize. We don't... We can't lose you care. We will do anything for you forgiveness." Kol said.
"Promise me something."
"Anything." Klaus said.
"Promise me you will stop fighting over me. I love both of you in different ways and some of the same ways. I just need both of you to accept who i want to be with."
"We promise." They both whispered. Kol stood up and hugged me as he headed to his room.
Klaus sat there quietly.
I went to leave but he spoke up drawing me back over to him.
"Who is it you want love."
"So kol didn't tell you."
"Tell me what." I smiled.
"Only time will tell." I got closer right by his ear then whispered, "Goodnight NIK."
