AN: So I decided to write a weird, random nonsense just fun fic. Only going to be a few chapters and it's not really a huge priority but it's fun!
Main couple I'll probably focus on is Klaroline, but I'm not exactly sure where the other couples stand so bare with me
Not exactly sure where this is set either but it's in season four, Kol is alive and Elena isn't sired to Damon. Caroline and Tyler aren't together but you'll find out why. Jeremy isn't a hunter either. Like I said, just .. fun.
Caroline never imagined that an awkward gathering at the Mikaelson manor for Rebekah's birthday would become something much worse once Katherine walked into the building with Elijah. She had his protection in case Klaus went homicidal and tried to rip out her heart in the middle of cake, which Caroline was understanding of but nobody was sure why Katherine would bother coming anyways.
Things went from awkward to completely unbearable soon enough, nobody wanted to make eye contact or even attempt to eat their food. Which was a German chocolate cake and Caroline's favourite -she suspected that somebody like Klaus had let the information slip to whomever made the cake.
After what felt like forever Rebekah commented on Katherine's arrival, "So how did you convince Elijah to take you?" She glared at Katherine, a smirk dwindling on her lips.
Katherine didn't appear offended as she answered, her leather jacket making an awful crying sound as she crossed her arms. "At least I'm capable of getting what I want from other people Rebekah, I'm not as easily manipulated." Caroline didn't like the new tension settling around the room. "Unlike some people I know."
She obviously meant Rebekah.
"Katherine-" Elijah tried to tell her that her comments were unnecessary but was cut off when Rebekah vamp sped towards the Elena look alike and pinned her against the wall by the throat.
Everybody jumped from their places on the furniture, ready to break the two apart if a murder were about to occur. People like Damon didn't really care if Rebekah or Katherine died, he disliked them both -but Caroline was more forgiving and much less violent.
"Kinky Rebekah, I like it." Katherine kept up her bitch persona as Rebekah's fangs descended. Suddenly Rebekah flung the brunette to the ground with a loud thud.
"You're not even worth it." She spat.
Katherine fixed her hair, flinging a strand of curls off to the side, "Why? Because you know I'm right?"
The blond was angry, fists balled so tightly they were beginning to turn white. Caroline took a tentative step forward but noticed that Klaus also had his fists balled, ready to kill Katherine in a moments notice. She touched his arm to calm him -not even understanding why she thought it was a good idea. Klaus's head snapped to the side to look at her, the once burning hatred in his eyes simmering down to slightly annoyed.
Rebekah defended herself, "I could control anybody I wanted to Katherine, but I'm not like you."
"Sister," Kol began to speak; his signature golden boy smile appearing, "we all know that any man in the room -aside from your dear brothers- could get you to do anything with a couple of compliments."
"You ass!" Rebekah yelled, her cheeks would have flushed red if she had been alive. Caroline felt bad for The Original, having your brother insult you like that on your own birthday was probably one of the meanest things she'd seen in awhile.
Klaus decided it was his turn to chime in, "Rebekah Love, if anybody here in the room couldn't be controlled it would be me." He didn't appear angry but his tone was threatening, "I back down to nobody."
"Hello!" Damon interrupted drawing out the word, earning him an annoyed glare from nearly everybody in the room. He appeared not to notice and continued on, "sorry to break it to you Klaus but have you met Caroline?"
Klaus's eye narrowed in anger at Damon pointing out his weakness. Caroline's mouth opened in shock before she smacked Damon's shoulder, "Don't drag me into this!" Avoiding Klaus's eyes at all costs she turned the focus on Elena. "If anybody controls other people around here Elena could literally get you to rip your own brothers heart out! You'd do anything for her, up to and including rescuing Matt over her. No offence Matt!"
The Quarterback stood behind the rest of the group, leaning against a nearby wall. "None taken."
The doppelganger looked hurt by the sudden accusations that her best friend had thrown her way. "Caroline!"
"I'm sorry but it's true!" Caroline's immediate reaction to being targeted was to push the target onto somebody else. It had worked so far in her life so she saw no point in stopping now.
"Well I never asked them to be like that." She defended herself slightly irritated at the way Caroline had thrown her under the bus.
Katherine had returned to her standing position minutes ago and was now making her way towards her shadow self. "No, but you like it." She commented, stopping right by Elena's face. "You love how they both worship you. Now that you're single again all of us are just waiting to see who takes the crown, Damon?" She raised her eyebrows, "Or Stefan." She smirked.
Elena shoved Katherine away, tired of the harassment. The brunette only laughed, "Admit it Elena. There was a time when I was you, I loved having them both."
"Katerina that is enough." Elijah intercepted the conversation, raising a hand to signal that it was time to calm down. "I believe we should all return to our cake, perhaps have a nice civil conversation."
Rebekah crossed her arms, clearly not ready for the discussion to end. "So what now you think you can control us?" Elijah titled his head in confusion. "The only thing you could control is your dietary habits Elijah!"
Caroline watched as the room descended into controlled madness. Everybody but Matt, Bonnie and Jeremy seemed to be yelling. Stefan was trying to stop Damon from irritating Klaus further who was holding back the need to murder. Rebekah, Kol and Elijah were caught in some strange screaming three way while Katherine and Elena had their hands in each others hair, ready to rip out chucks with their vampire strength.
"Hey!" Caroline tried to get their attention. "Guys stop!" She yelled, flinging her hands out but nothing seemed to stop the brawling. Finally she spotted some sort of antique vase sitting on a table nearby and decided that a couple mildly angered Originals was better than a group of dead vampires. Caroline ran towards the lamp, brought it up over her head and then smashed it onto the ground.
Everybody turned. Rebekah looked about ready to blow a blood vessel. "What the hell was that for?! I got that from a friend in New Orleans nearly a hundred years ago!" She tried to attack Caroline but Klaus grabbed her arm and held her back. "Let go!"
"It was an ugly vase Little Sister let it go." He whispered into her ear. The humans in the room were probably left wondering what Klaus had said to make Rebekah back down.
Caroline rejoined her friends -and some enemies. "If we really want to figure out who has the most control over people I say we settle it a much less violent way." They all watched her with their eyes both ready to kill and accept her terms. In all honesty Caroline had no idea how to solve the problem she was just glad they'd stopped making so much noise, there was bound to be a public disturbance call sooner or later and Liz Forbes would not like seeing her daughter with the Mikaelsons.
Katherine of all people came to her rescue, "I have an idea."
"No!" A couple of people screamed, shooting down immediately.
Pretending to be unfazed the brunette continued, "we could settle this little disagreement with a series of games."
"We're not five Katherine."
"Some of us aren't." She counteracted. Caroline knew that Katherine was pointing out the obvious lack of years that Elena had lived compared to the original doppelganger. Well sort of original. "Anyways, I say that for the next twelve nights we play a series of games. Could be any sort of game -board, drinking, something as simple as spin the bottle. Each night one of us will choose a new game, the order needs to be decided beforehand of course." Everybody eyed each other curiously, trying to figure out what Katherine's angle was. "The last person standing will be the winner and they'll get to choose one person to control for an entire day."
Caroline saw Klaus smirk and knew exactly who he'd pick should he win. Something inside of her growled at the thought of letting him win, Caroline didn't like to be told she couldn't win. It was sometimes a blessing and other times a curse that she needed to prove people who doubted her wrong.
"How do they get kicked out?" Matt asked from the back.
Smirking Katherine continued, "Depending on the game there are many ways to get out but the general rules are that the game starts at eight pm and ends at two am. Leave before the game is over and you're out. Don't show up on time and you're out." Elena rolled her eyes. "Refuse to play and you're out. No game can be used twice. All games must involve some form of drinking, I don't care how but games are more fun when drunk."
"Life's more fun drunk." Kol commented with a smile. Caroline tried to hide her own.
Katherine appreciated the peanut gallery comments before listing off the final rule. "If there's more than one person standing at the end of the last game then they do a sudden death round of the losers choosing to determine the winner. Sound fair?"
For a minute nobody spoke, nobody wanted to be the first one to accept Katherine's challenge -yet nobody wanted to be the first to say no. Saying no would mean that you couldn't control anybody, which was an embarrassing flaw to have to many people in the room. Caroline remembered back to Klaus's smirking face, probably thinking of controlling her for the day. She hated the thought of other people winning, she wanted to prove herself and stand on top of the pyramid. Metaphorically.
"I'm in." She let out in the dead silence of the room.
Klaus seemed a tad shocked but not surprised, "Then I'm in." He smiled at her but she looked away.
"Well then I'm in." Rebekah was still bitter about them ruining her birthday with all the bickering.
Kol was in next. Then Elijah who insisted that if his family was going to make fools of themselves then he might as well follow along. The moment Elijah agreed, Katherine did too. "It's my idea but now I'm definitely in."
In her vengeful anger towards Katherine, Elena inhaled a sharp breath, "Me too."
"I'm in!" The Salvatore brothers responded immediately in unison. They took each other in with startled expressions at the scene. Caroline looked towards the remaining three in the room. Bonnie, Jeremy and Matt.
The trio exchanged unsure glances before Bonnie shrugged her shoulders, "We're in."
Feeling triumphant Katherine smiled, "Then the games start at eight pm tomorrow, right here. Since it's my idea I'll choose first."
"Then what's the rest of the order?" Caroline asked.
Katherine pointed to the group, "You're all standing in a circle just start going counter clock wise."
Caroline noticed now that through the arguing and Katherine explain her idea they had somehow formed one huge circle. Starting at Katherine and ending with Elijah there were twelve of them.
Nobody said anything after that, their minds had already begun to twirl with the possibilities of games they could use to break each other.
"Well," Katherine spoke lowly, "game on."
-o-
Caroline looked at her clock, checking once more the small window of opportunity that Matt had to arrive at the Mikaelson Mansion. Two minutes. Katherine stood in the hallway smugly, awaiting the moment she could announce that Matt was not in the running anymore. They all knew that Matt wouldn't beat their vampire strength but it would have been nice to have him there regardless.
"Looks like Matty Blue Blue isn't gonna make it." She pretended to pout, making herself seem upset. Caroline thought that perhaps behind the facade Katherine really was kind of upset she wouldn't get to see Matt's adorable face. Caroline could totally call him that because they'd dated.
Before the clock struck eight Matt stumbled through the threshold with his breathing heavy, and an uninvited guest. "Tyler?" Caroline raised her eyebrows in the surprise. He was the last person Caroline wanted to see, or expected to.
Tyler Lockwood walked in behind Matt calmly as if he were actually supposed to be there. "Hello." He greeted Katherine.
"Matt, why'd you bring the dog?" The doppelganger was unimpressed, glaring at Matt with every ounce of anger her body contained. Caroline thanked her internally for that. "Now we have to add another night to the list."
Matt shrugged, "Sorry he wanted to come, I wasn't gonna say no."
Katherine took one long legged step towards the human, squishing his face between her fingers, "You're lucky you're cute." Caroline noticed Rebekah's jealous glare from across the room and feared for Katherine's life for a moment.
Once everybody was in the living room, either sitting down or standing uncomfortably, Katherine took her place and began to announce the game. "I thought I'd take it easy first game around. Truth or Dare." Damon groaned, Elena slapped his shoulder. "You only have three chances to deny a truth or dare, but if you do refuse the person who originally asks you gets to say your replacement truth or dare. If you loose all three chances you're out. Also, if somebody successfully completes your dare or truth, you take a shot."
"That's it we're drunk." Kol laughed, seemingly happy with the terms and conditions.
Katherine smiled and sat down, her short black dress riding up her thighs as she did so leaving little to the imagination. Caroline looked down at her own outfit, blue skinny jeans, floral tank top and a blue cardigan. She felt suddenly under dressed when she noticed Elena was wearing a navy blue dress and Rebekah wore a skirt. At least Bonnie was wearing shorts.
"Since it's my game I'll ask first," Katherine announced, "Matt, truth or dare?"
Matt considered his options for a moment but decided it play it safe, "Truth."
Katherine pursed her lips, not seemingly happy about her human acquaintances decision. "Fine." She thought about it for a moment. Caroline looked around the room, noticing Klaus sitting on the chair positioned between the two couches in the room. He was smirking for no apparent reason. "Out of every girl in the room who would you want to kiss right now?" They weren't drunk enough for the tough questions.
Matt looked at the girls, all awaiting his answer with different expectations. Caroline watched his eyes hesitate on Elena before he kept going and then finally looked back to Katherine, "Rebekah, just because I haven't done that yet. Oh wait, no offence Bonnie!"
Bonnie chuckled, "I'm okay Matt." Rebekah tried to hid her grin but Caroline caught it anyways. Katherine took a shot.
Next up was Matt, "Stefan, truth or dare?"
"Dare." Stefan said without hesitation. Katherine rolled her eyes in envy.
Matt laughed, "I dare you to make out with any girl but Elena for a minute."
Stefan raised his eyebrow in surprise at Matt's boldness.
"Why couldn't that have been my dare Mate?" Kol asked, eagerly awaiting his chance to shine as he sat beside Katherine.
Stefan stood up and looked around the room before striding towards Rebekah. At first she was surprised when he pressed his lips to hers but once she realized he wasn't joking she kissed back. Elena watched with jealousy.
"Time!" Katherine called out.
"What's so great about Rebekah?" Damon questioned as Matt took a shot.
Stefan sat down again, "Elijah truth or dare?"
"Dare." The Original leaned forward onto his elbow with intrigue.
Thinking for a moment Stefan looked around until he decided on the perfect dare, "I dare you to strip anybody of your choosing down for their underwear." Katherine seemed to perk up at the sound of Elijah's dare.
Elijah stood, "Elena." Everybody looked surprised including Elena. Katherine seemed upset but she tried not to show it. Elijah started with her cardigan, dropping it onto the floor with ease. Seconds later Elena was down to the white bra and pink underwear she had on, Elijah used vamp speed. "Sorry about that." He spoke before sitting down.
Elena's spot between Damon and Stefan on the couch became one thousand times more awkward after that even if she held a brave face and didn't show it. Stefan took a shot.
"Rebekah, truth or dare?" Elijah looked to his sister.
Rebekah sighed, "Dare."
"I dare you to," Elijah scanned the room, "Fight while making out and undressing one person in the room."
"One girl!" Kol added, winking at his big brother.
Elijah creased his brow but added, "Yes with another girl I suppose."
"Kol that's your sister that's disgusting." Bonnie scolded the Original, earning a charming smile from the lad.
Rebekah stood to pick her partner, "Caroline." She decided. Caroline gulped, she had been hoping Rebekah wouldn't choose her but out of all the girls there, Caroline was probably the one she disliked least. Bonnie and Rebekah didn't have much interaction. "Ready?" She smiled as Caroline met her in the middle of the room.
"Born ready." Caroline smiled, not backing down from the dare.
Rebekah jumped at her first and vamp sped Caroline towards the wall, pressing their lips together roughly. Caroline had never kissed a woman, but she wasn't going to say it wasn't fun. Within seconds Rebekah had her cardigan and top off, revealing her pink lace bra. Caroline didn't want her to have the complete upper hand and pushed her back, sending Rebekah flying into the glass coffee table so that it shattered. Caroline pretended not to notice and climbed on top of her, bringing their lips once again back together.
"I'm gonna take pictures." Kol announced as the sound of a camera went off.
"You're disgusting!" Bonnie told him with venom in her voice.
Kol's cocky attitude flared, "that's why you love me Bonnie."
While the Bennett Witch and Original Vampire bickered Caroline was working on ripping Rebekah's shirt in two while still maintaining lip contact. She had managed to pull her skirt down but was deciding whether or not Rebekah would kill her for ruining her shirt. Caroline didn't care and a loud tearing sound could be heard throughout the house. Rebekah was about to unhook Caroline's bra in revenge when Elijah called time and the two split apart. "You broke the table!" Rebekah said concerned.
"You're rich." Caroline shrugged.
As they sat down, Caroline noticed Klaus's eyes watching her body, stopping at all the places she wished he wouldn't. Tyler had his eyes on her too, probably for jealous reasons.
Elijah took a shot.
"Elena truth or dare?" Rebekah asked.
"Dare."
"Lick whip cream off Damon's tongue." She announced with satisfaction as Elena looked at the boy beside her for a reaction.
Damon smiled, "I like this game."
Kol seemed to appear from nowhere carrying a bottle of whip cream, "Here you are." Elena did as she was told and licked the whip cream off of Damon's tongue, not seeming upset by the act afterwards. Rebekah took a shot.
"Caroline, truth or dare?" Elena asked, still kind of bitter over her blond friends comments the previous day.
Caroline hummed before answering, "dare." She watched Elena consider her options.
Finally the brunette smiled, "I dare you to blood share with one guy in the room who isn't Tyler -because I know you've done that before- for two minutes."
Caroline hated her friend for very many reasons at that moment. She wanted to pick Klaus. It wasn't because of some weird sexual thing it was because Caroline had tasted Klaus's blood and it was amazing, he was the original hybrid -his blood was the cure all. If she chose Klaus than everybody would think she had feelings for him but that wasn't actually why.
Finally she stood, Caroline looked at Klaus for a moment and opened her mouth trying to say his name but all that came out was, "Stefan. Would you allow me to... you know?"
Stefan chuckled, "Sure thing." Klaus looked suddenly disappointed.
Caroline bite Stefan's wrist and began to suck once the first minute was over Stefan bit into her wrist and had a go at it. Once it was done Caroline sat back down. She didn't feel anything magical or special when she drank Stefan's blood, it was just blood. Her inner most thoughts told her she should have chosen Klaus but she pretended that she was happy with her decision. Elena took a shot.
"Klaus, truth or dare?" Caroline asked, crossing her legs as he looked at her.
His dimples appeared on his face, "Dare."
Caroline responded with a smirk, "I dare you to make out with Stefan in your underwear and send a picture to your remaining Hybrids and you can't explain the picture until the thirteen days are over."
He didn't seem fond of it and neither did Stefan. Rebekah scoffed, "Oh don't act like you've never kissed before!" Everybody in the room felt their jaws dropping to the floor.
"There was so much alcohol." Stefan recalled, stepping towards his dare partner. "Lets never talk about it again." Klaus agreed.
Out of total embarrassment they did it, stripping down to their boxers which wasn't a bad view in Caroline's opinion. Once the picture was sent Klaus sat down, "I'm never going to live that down." Caroline laughed and took a shot.
The game went on for a couple more hours until everybody was very tipsy. Katherine had to make out with Rebekah for awhile, Elijah had to do a shot off of Bonnie, Kol had to give Damon a lap dance in his underwear and Matt had to sing Total Eclipse of the Heart with Tyler. Caroline had so far eaten a grape from Jeremy's belly button and flashed Kol who was all too happy. Tyler had not been, and neither had Klaus. By twelve o'clock everybody was down to their underwear except Tyler who had only been dared to remove his pants, Katherine who was very close to wearing nothing considering her dress was so short and Klaus who wasn't dared to remove anything.
"Elena!" Katherine called out happily, "Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to do a shot off of Jeremy."
The whole room made a disgusted face but Elena responded, "I refuse." Caroline arched an eyebrow at her, the first refusal of the night.
"Well then, I dare you to undress me." She raised her eyebrow mischievously.
Elena sauntered over and began the process of removing Katherine's clothing until there was nothing but small black lace left on her body. Elena wasn't nervous about unclothing Katherine seeing as they looked the exact same. As she stood back up Katherine grabbed her doppelgangers face and began to kiss her.
Everybody was shocked including Elena but her mind was foggy and it felt good. "Didn't see that coming!" Damon cheered, high-fiving his new drinking friend Kol.
Caroline couldn't watch for long before she yelled, "Hey!" They broke apart, both startled.
"That was weird." Katherine said before taking a shot.
"Katherine, truth or dare?" Elena asked still standing in front of her look alike.
Katherine told her, "Dare."
Elena smiled, "Make out with Klaus for two minutes."
Caroline thought Klaus would explode but he only sat there as he watched Katherine walk over to him. He stood to face her. "I don't like this any more than you do." She spoke before closing the distance.
An all too familiar feeling washed over Caroline as she watched them kiss and she didn't like it one single bit. Finally they were done and Elena took a shot.
"Caroline." Katherine called out.
"Truth." She decided to go the safe route.
Katherine smiled wickedly, "What did you feel when you watched me kiss Klaus?" Apparently it hadn't been so safe. Everybody turned to look at her including Klaus but she kept her eyes focused solely on Katherine.
"Jealous." She announced with a stern voice. Booze did things to people.
Katherine looked elated that Caroline had admitted her feelings. Finally the blond looked around the room to see Kol patting a smiling Klaus's shoulder and Tyler was looking ready to wolf out. Not that Caroline cared about what Tyler was thinking. Katherine took a shot.
"Bonnie."
"Dare."
"Suck on Kol's big toe for a minute."
Bonnie's face was priceless and for once Kol didn't think the dare was very good. But Bonnie Bennett didn't back down, she sucked on his toe like a champ without throwing up. Everybody clapped -Kol included- when she finished. Caroline took a shot.
"Caroline, truth or dare?" Bonnie asked before Caroline had gotten the vodka down.
Caroline swallowed, "Dare."
"Choose one guys shirt to wear until tomorrow at eight pm." Bonnie gave her an innocent smile, Caroline regretted ever having given Bonnie her dare.
All the boys were shirtless except Tyler and Klaus. She could always choose Stefan or Damon or Matt or somebody else, but their was a sweet vengeance in her decision. Caroline walked towards her ex-boyfriend who seemed cheerful as she approached, but she stopped two steps away and turned to her left. "Klaus give me your shirt."
Klaus smirked, "Sorry Love what was that?"
"Take your shirt off and give it to me."
"If you insist." He didn't try to hide his smile or elude that he didn't care, he loved rubbing it in Tyler's face as he took off his deep v-neck grey shirt and handed it to her. Caroline slid it on, feeling the looseness around her. As Klaus stripped down she noticed his tattoo, absentmindedly her fingers touched the blackened skin, "You have a tattoo?"
"More than one actually." He informed her, as she looked into his eyes.
"Alright." Tyler said as she watched them angrily.
Caroline pulled herself away from him, the booze making her too tipsy to even think about being embarrassed. Bonnie took a shot.
By two am most of them had done things they'd never want to talk about again. Klaus had received several texts back from his Hybrids but he wasn't allowed to tell them the meaning of the photograph until their series of games was completed.
Nobody except for Elena and Matt had refused a dare. Matt didn't want to measure Damon and then announce it to everybody. However, nobody had been kicked out which meant that the competition was still heavy.
The Mikaelson's decided to play good host and let everybody sleep in the guest rooms. Bonnie, Caroline and Elena shared one bed like they used to at sleepovers, except it was king sized and nobody ran the risk of falling out in the middle of the night. Damon and Stefan slept in another room, and then Matt and Jeremy. Katherine slept on the couch. Tyler however was forced to sleep on the floor in the living room on a rug. Klaus insisted they didn't have any more beds which Caroline smiled to herself about.
That night she fell asleep in nothing but her underwear and Klaus's shirt, but for some reason his scent didn't make her feel the need to scream to cover her feelings, it made her grin into her pillow as she drifted off to blackness.
