The Gilbert Wolf

Landslide

"I'll find it. Don't worry, just send me an email of Jeremy's tattoo. I'll find the sword and call you back."

"Thank you Caroline."

"Bye."

Caroline hung up the phone and took her jacket.

"Do you need my help for anything, love?" Klaus asked her as she walked past us.

"No." She said firmly and left.

It was so silent in the house again. So much had changed just over that one phone call.

"Just so you know. I wouldn't have used myself to get the sword from you. I wouldn't have done that to you."

Klaus looked at me and smiled a little.

"Thank you sweetheart but just so you know. I would have given it to you if you only had asked me but I wouldn't have told the others that." I placed my hands around his neck.

"Well Mr. Mikaelson. Are you becoming a marshmallow?" I could hear him growling.

"I'm sorry I was just kidding. I didn't mean it."

"You're a funny one aren't you?" I sighed and pulled one of my hands through his hair.

"I just wanted to get your mind onto something else." I gave him a light kiss.

Then his lips attacked mine. I didn't understand where this was coming from but I didn't care. I kissed him back just as eagerly. He put me down on the couch, hovering over me. I had preferred a bed but oh well. I needed him as much as he needed me. What I didn't see was my phone started buzzing and went dead because it was out of power.

***********

Afterwards, I laid on the couch with Klaus' arms around me. I'm just glad we didn't break the couch. At one point, I thought we would. I turned around to face him to tell him how much I loved him, when we both heard a car stopping out front. I shot up from the couch. Still naked.

"Shit!" I gathered my clothes and stormed towards the stairs. I managed to get into Jeremy's room before Caroline entered with Tyler.

"Well, if it isn't little orphan Lockwood." I heard Klaus say. That bastard had an advantage being half vampire. He could get dressed so much faster than I could.

"Come to show how laughably impotent you are against me?" I rolled my eyes. Idiot.

"I just came here to help my friends find the cure. I found this in your loft." I wanted to see it. So I ran downstairs before straightening my hair.

Caroline glared at me and understood right away, what had happened before they came over.

"Seriously? You guys couldn't help yourselves? What are you? Animals?" both Klaus and I looked each other and back to her.

"Yes." We said at the same time.

"I can't believe you two." Caroline said and rolled her eyes.

"Well, let's get back to the point shall we?" Klaus said getting everyone away from this conversation.

"How is it to have the sword any closer to finding the cure?" It amazed me how easy it was for Nik to switch the subject like that.

"You tell me. I was playing with the handle on my way over and I discovered this." Tyler removed something from the handle and both Klaus and I got up and walked over to them to get a closer look.

"And what do you think this is?"

"It's an encrypted text." Caroline spoke up. It surprised all of us.
