Here's the final chapter, happy holidays for everyone :)

Chapter 5

FBI

Klaus was far from happy when he had to wade in the woods, it was late, dark and he was in a bad mood. His prey had short legs and she wasn't familiar with her surroundings, so she shouldn't be too far. What was the kid's name again…?

"Holly!" he shouted. "Make some kind of noise if you can hear me!"

Apparently she couldn't hear him, there was no answer. Damn Kol for not handling a simple babysitting task… Wait, who would leave anything under Kol's care; that was beyond stupid. He sighed and continued looking; the damn kid had to be somewhere.

"Holly!"

Suddenly he stopped, was that sobbing? Yes, it was. He looked around in order to find the source of the sound; it was coming from behind a fallen tree. The child was sitting on the ground crying, she looked a little dirty but otherwise unharmed.

"Hi there," he said and kneeled next to her. "Are you alright?"

She nodded and looked at him with her tearful eyes.

"I want my daddy."

"Alright," he said and wrapped his jacket around her before lifting her up in his arms.

"You got lost?"

"I was hiding," she said. "Uncle Kol couldn't find me."

"Uncle Kol is a jackass," he muttered. "But don't worry, daddy and uncle Klaus are going to kick his ass."

"What does that mean?" she asked.

"Nothing, never mind, let's just get you back to your daddy."

She nodded and leaned her head on his shoulder. Kids… He was almost at the mansion when Kol appeared in front of him.

"Thank God, you found her. Is she alright?"

"As far as I can tell," Klaus huffed. "But she's dirty."

"You should clean her up before Elijah comes back," Kol said innocently. "He and Rebekah haven't returned yet."

Klaus' eyes narrowed.

"Me? I'm sure I just misheard you."

Kol sighed.

"Fine, we."

"Wrong again."

"Come on, Nik, you dagg…"

"If you use the word dagger one more time I swear that I'm going to…"

"I'm cold," the girl said, for a moment Klaus had forgotten her completely.

"Alright, little girl, let's get you inside."

She turned to look at Kol and pouted her lips.

"You can't play hide and seek."

"No, I can't," he huffed. "You're too good at it."

She grinned and leaned her head on Klaus' shoulder again. They went inside and Klaus carried her to Kol's room.

"What are you doing?" he protested.

"She's going to use your bathroom," Klaus replied charmingly.

Kol rolled his eyes, but he didn't argue, instead he opened the door and picked up few bottles.

"Alright, pay attention, little girl. This is uncle Kol's very expensive shampoo, this is a conditioner and this is a shower gel. Any questions?"

The girl tilted her head, she seemed confused.

"Just take a quick shower, we'll wait here," Kol huffed and shoved her inside with the bottles.

"Are you sure that she can do it by herself?" Klaus asked.

"How would I know?" Kol snapped. "But since she can walk and talk, I'm sure she can take a shower."

Klaus huffed and sat on Kol's bed, he was done for this evening. They waited for a while, but there was no sound of running water.

"Hey, what are you doing there?" Kol asked and knocked the door. "Little girl? Damn it…"

As soon as he opened the door, she ran out naked and covered with the shampoo and conditioner.

"My shampoo…" Kol muttered. "Come back here!"

The girl laughed and ran to the hallway, she was surprisingly fast.

"You're it!" she shouted.

Kol cursed and went after her, after a moment of hesitation Klaus followed them. She was running across the hallway towards the living room.

"Catch her," Kol said.

"You catch her," Klaus snapped. "This was your idea."

"But…she has no clothes on," Kol muttered.

Klaus rolled his eyes.

"No kidding?"

"We need some kind of net…Let's see, I have handcuffs, chains and some leather rope, but no nets. Actually that gave me an idea…"

"Shut up," Klaus snorted.

When they reached the living room, they saw her running around the Christmas tree; she was laughing and waving at them.

"Stop that at once and come here," Kol demanded.

She responded to that by showing them her tongue.

"That's it," Kol snapped and picked up a blanket that was lying on the couch.

"Block her way; I'll catch her inside of this."

Klaus wasn't sure should he laugh or cry.

"Are you serious?"

"Do you have better ideas?" Kol snapped. "Just do it."

Klaus sighed and reluctantly approached the Christmas tree, the damn doll Santa was still standing next to the fireplace.

"Alright, little girl, the fun is over…" he started but she simply ran past him, laughing and screaming in delight.

"I said block her way!" Kol snapped and chased her with the blanket.

"You try it if it's so easy!"

They both chased her around the tree until Kol finally managed to catch her inside the blanket. She was still laughing.

"Let's do it again!"

"No!" they both snapped.

"Damn, she must have used all my shampoo," Kol complained and started to carry her back to his bathroom.

"Forget the damn shampoo," Klaus huffed and turned the tub on, she really needed a bath. Kol was holding her inside the blanket, although she was squirming.

"Stop that," Kol snapped. "Is that bath ready yet?"

"I don't wanna take a bath," she protested.

"That's too bad; you're taking a bath, period."

She pouted her lips.

"I want daddy."

"Me too, but unfortunately he's not here. Now get in there…"

She was struggling pretty hard for someone so small, Klaus laughed like crazy before Kol finally managed to get her into the bathtub.

"What do I do now?" Kol asked, clearly uncomfortable.

"Don't ask me, I guess you need some sort of tool in order to clean her."

"What tool?" Kol snapped.

Klaus shrugged.

"How would I know? A sponge?"

Kol rubbed his temples and leaned towards the girl.

"Alright, let's get this over with…"

He didn't have time to finish his sentence when the girl splashed water on him and laughed.

"You little…"

"Easy," Klaus warned chuckling.

Kol sent a murderous glare towards him.

"Oh yeah?" he snapped and grabbed the shower head.

"Don't you dare…" Klaus started, but Kol did dare, a brief moment later Klaus was soaking wet.

"You little…" he growled and tried to take the shower head from Kol while the girl was splashing water on both of them, she seemed to have the best time of her life. After the whole bathroom and the three of them were soaking wet and they had managed to break the shower head, they finally stopped.

"That was fun!" the girl cheered. "You're funny!"

"No, sweetheart, we're just stupid," Klaus muttered. "Geez…"

All the towels were wet as well, so Kol went to get a dry one from his closet. He also brought one of his t-shirts; together they dried the girl and dressed her. Her own clothes were probably in Elijah's room, but this would have to do for now.

"I'll go and get changed," Klaus muttered, he felt ridiculous. When he returned to Kol's room, he saw that the girl had fallen asleep on his bed. She looked like a little angel now, calm and happy.

"Well, that was fun," Kol muttered. "But at least we made it in one piece…"

"Kol!" Elijah's voice shouted.

"For now," Klaus added and took a step back. Elijah looked beyond angry when he yanked Kol's door open, Rebekah was right behind him.

"Shh!" Kol hushed before Elijah managed to say anything. "You'll wake up the kid."

Elijah's eyes widened, he moved next to the bed and touched the girl's hair.

"What happened?"

"Well, Nik beat up Santa Claus, I got this great idea concerning nets, we bathed her and now she's sleeping."

Elijah stared at his brothers alternately.

"So, how was your day?" Kol asked casually.

"Interesting," Elijah muttered tensely. "I looked for Damon Salvatore, who had "kidnapped" Molly and finally after going to the boarding house, Elena's house and a steakhouse, I found him at the same strip club you like so much. We…talked, but I believe Elena hurt him worse than I did after seeing his jingle bells performance with few ladies dressed as some sort of elves."

Klaus bit his bottom lip, trying his best for not to laugh.

"Sounds interesting," Kol stated calmly.

"You're an idiot," Rebekah huffed. "But at least Molly's alright."

Elijah leaned towards her and kissed her forehead.

"What is she wearing? FBI – female body inspector?"

"Oh, I got that shirt when I ordered this magazine…"

"No one wants to hear about that," Rebekah interrupted him. "I'll go and place Molly's gifts under the tree. I might have something for you grouches as well."

"Thank you, Bekah," Klaus said. "I'll get you something after the holidays."

"What ever," she huffed.

"Hey, Bekah," Kol said before she reached the door. "Merry Christmas."

"Thanks, Grinch. Merry Christmas to you too."
