We Found Love

[BeautifullyxMad]

Sadie listened to her phone click, and she went back to furiously curling her hair. When it was finished and she was glad with her make up job, she sighed and headed out to where she was going to meet her sister. She sat down on the park bench in the middle of the park in the town, and she twiddled her thumbs before she pulled out her phone, seeing a message from her sister. She texted Caroline not long after that and after about twenty minutes she was joined by the blonde and they sat there when a beautiful brunette girl approached them and Sadie stood up. Her hair was in a braid and she was in a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. "Well, well, looky 'ere. There's my runt." she smiled and Sadie ran over and hugged her sister. "Missed you too, sist'r. Who's your friend?"

"Oh, righ'. Khloe, meet Caroline. Caroline, this is my sist'r Khloe." Sadie introduced and Caroline smiled.

"Nice to meetcha." Khloe smiled. "So, Sadie. Tell me 'bout the town."

"Firs', sis, Caroline is one of them." she said, giving her a look and Khloe looked at her. "She's cool though, so are 'er friends, but there is one you won' like. 'e know 'bout our clan."

Khloe's eyes narrowed. "Who?"

"Klaus." Caroline interjected. "He's taken a liking to Sadie."

"Jus', don' worry. I'll keep 'im out of your 'air." Sadie assured her sister. "C'mon though, let's get you set'led into the apartment, and we'll 'ave a girls' day."

Stefan had left Brooke's house after assuring her he'd see her that night. He headed home, and when he got there he showered. He had found a not from Caroline who had been there and showered already because of their vervain filter. He dressed for the day before he headed down into the cellar and drank some blood before he headed out of the house and to the Grill. Caroline had people setting things up there, but she wasn't there until she came in with Sadie and a girl he'd never seen before. He sighed and he compelled the bartender into giving him some beer. It was to help the cravings, at least that's what he told himself.

He looked at his messages. Two from Damon telling him that they'd be back in Mystic Falls soon, and one from Bonnie asking about Brooke. He responded to Bonnie's message, and he told her she was doing a lot better and that she should come to the talent show that night to see her perform.

[sorry Stefan's is short.]

They day went by quickly. He kept his same clothes on, but fixed her hair up a little bit and drank a few glasses of scotch. When it was nearing seven, he grabbed the keys to his car and sent a message to Sadie before heading to the Grill. He was waiting on that call from Rebekah, which he had yet to receive. He made sure the message to Sadie sent before he started on his way to the Grill.

"On my way. See you soon."

Klaus wondered why cell phones weren't invented sooner, they seemed very useful in his opinion. When he stopped at a stop sign, he looked out the window outside. It was a beautiful day, the sun was slowly setting, and the half moon was raising. Soon, he was parked and heading into the Grill. Several people were already going inside. It was the last night of performances. Klaus took the little pamphlet that had the performers name and what they would be doing. He scanned through and noticed Brooklyn's name as the last performer. Wasn't that the girl little Stefan had taken a liking to?

Klaus shrugged and took his seat at the bar, ordering himself a bourbon. He liked to switch it up.

Around five that afternoon, Brooke started to get ready. She started with her hair, deciding to keep it simple and waved a little before braiding a small portion and pulling it back, securing it with a pretty butterfly clip. She put on her make-up, using light shades of pink that would match her dress. After putting on her make-up, Brooke slipped into a pretty strapless pink dress, showing off her smooth and slender legs, and a pair of silver heels. She then put on a simple heart locket, which belonged to her mother, and earrings. After she was ready, she headed to the Grill, not forgetting her music.

Brooklyn walked in, frowning when she didn't see Stefan yet. She was the last to perform, so she didn't have anything to do until then. After looking some more, she spotted Stefan at the bar, drinking some beer. She smiled, heading over to him. "Hey." She greeted.

[BeautifullyxMad]

Sadie had returned home at one point in the day to change. She allowed her hair to set in loose curls and she put on a pretty strapless dress and her denim jacket. She swooped on some make up and she headed out after putting on her heels, she headed back out and she received the message from Klaus. She looked at it and soon found herself jogging back to the Grill. When she got there, she walked in and noticed her sister and Caroline laughing it up, and she hoped that they didn't see her when she walked over to the bar where she had spotted Klaus. She slid in beside him and sighed.

"So. 'ere I am." she commented with a slight smile. "Don' min' if I seem like I'm 'idin', I am. From my sister. She wouldn' like that I am talkin' to you." she told him before she took his glass from him and took a sip. She was never one for that kind of stuff, but she needed a drink and his was very potent. She enjoyed it very much, but all she wanted was for the night to be over already. "So what did you wanna talk 'bout?" she inquired.

-&-

Stefan heard a voice and he jumped a bit before smiling to Brooke. "Hey." he said, standing up and motioning to the seat beside him for her to sit down. "So you're the last performance. With prom less than a week away, I think we could all use the fun. The funding for the after party is what this is going to, and for the rest of the decorations." he said to her, and he sat back down once she sat down. "Are you feeling better?" he asked her.

He could recall last night, he wasn't going to let her go anywhere alone. Not after what happened the night before. He wouldn't let that happen to her again. With Elena gone, he found Brooke to be a breath of fresh air. She was kind and beautiful. Everything Elena once was, but not Elena. She was a lovely person too. "So, want anything to eat or drink? While we're waiting for you to get up there." he chuckled.

[sorry it sucks.]

[newmommy1993]

Klaus looked up from his drink when he saw Sadie, he gave her a small smirk. "Don't worry, I'm use to people not wanting to be seen with me." He stated. He watched her as she took his glass and take a sip. "Underage, love." He joked, finishing the drink off. He spotted her sister with Caroline the moment they walked in. The two girls scents were very similar, and they had a family resemblance. He looked back towards her when she asked him about what he wanted to talk to her about. "First, let me say how stunning you look tonight." He said, ordering another scotch on the rocks. He waited until his drink was delivered before continuing to speak.

"My sister and Elena have almost got the cure, but Rebekah insists on keeping it to herself, giving me the whole 'I want to be a human' speech and why it means so much to her." He said, pausing briefly to take a sip from his drink. "They are somewhere in Pennsylvania, I believe." He said. "We're close to getting the cure, I haven't heard back from them yet, but when I do I'll let you know the plan. I'm just surprised Katherina hasn't already gave it to me yet, seeing as how I'm holding her freedom in the palm of my hand, which I would gladly exchange for the cure." He said with a tight smile.

Brooklyn took the seat beside Stefan, ordering herself a regular cherry coke. She nodded in agreement. "Oh, yeah, I completely agree. I think it'll be loads of fun." She said, sipping on her coke when they brought it to her. She wasn't really hungry for anything, so she passed on the food. Brooke cleared her throat when Stefan asked her about last night, but she just nodded. "Better, I guess. Just not really wanting to sleep, I guess." She said, sighing softly. "Thanks, again, for staying with me, and for everything else." She said, sipping some more on her coke.

When they called her name after the other performers went, Brooke inhaled and exhaled. "Wish me luck." She said, going to the stage, handing the DJ her mixed CD, letting him know it was track 6. She took off her white over coat, revealing her dress. She positioned herself and when the soft music began playing, Brooke started moving, matching the beats exactly. The song turned into a slower beat, to a faster one, but she still kept in rhythm and in sync with the music, never losing her place.

When the song was over, she bowed down to the audience, who all erupted into clapping and cheers. She grabbed up her jacket, not bothering to put it back on, and went over to Stefan. "So, how did I do?" She asked with a warm and kind smile.

[BeautifullyxMad]

Sadie looked to Klaus as he spoke, and she nodded. "Kathrine?" she inquired, but she shook her head a bit before she leaned back before her sister came over.

"There you are, Sadie. What're you doin'? And who is this?" Khloe asked, crossing her arms over her chest, and Sadie soon took Klaus' glass from him again and took a sip. She needed it before Khloe looked to Klaus. "Why're you talkin' to my baby sister?" she asked and Sadie looked at her.

"'e's alrigh', Khloe." Sadie defended and Khloe looked at her. "Real'y. 'e's alrigh', no need to worry. 'sides, I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself." she said, and her sister crossed her arms.

"I know, but you know 'ow this would go back 'ome." Khloe reminded her.

"Yeah, I do, but trust me on this." Sadie said to her sister who nodded and looked to Klaus.

"Don' e'en think on 'urtin' my baby sister." she warned him, and Sadie rolled her eyes as Khloe headed off, and she shook her head.

"Don' min' 'er. She doesn' know who or what you are." she said to Klaus, and she looked over to the stage to the girl dancing and smiled before turning back. "So, what's the plan until then?"

-&-

Stefan smiled to her and nodded. "No problem." he assured her, and when she went up and danced, he watched her. She did really good. He stood and clapped at the end, and when she came over and asked how she did he gave her a smile. "You did great. C'mon, I'll walk you to your car." he said to her, and he told her, and he walked with her out to her car. He looked around, making sure no one else was around to hurt her and he smiled to her. "And you don't have to thank me for last night, I was happy to do it." he assured her before he opened her car door for her and when she was inside he walked over to his own car that was parked a ways up the street.

When he got there though, he felt a stake go into his stomach and before he could see who did it, he fell to the ground, coughing a bit, and he closed his eyes. He just wanted to rip it out, but when he went to it burned his hands and he fumbled for his phone. "Bonnie. I need... Help." he choked on his words, "I'm near... The Grill..." he coughed a bit, trying to get the stake out of his stomach himself.

[newmommy1993]

He nodded when Sadie repeated Katherine's name. "Yeah, Katherine Pierce." He said, shaking his head as he took a sip of his drink. He glanced up as the beautiful brunette, Sadie's sister, came over to the pair. He smiled his charming, witty grin to the brunette. "Hello, love. I'm Klaus. Just giving some information." He shrugged. He watched the interaction between the sisters. He heard of protective brothers, Jeremy being one, but a protective older sister was very uncommon.

When the sister spoke back to him, he shook his head. "I wouldn't dare." He said as the girl walked off. "She's something, eh?" He asked, finishing off his glass. When Sadie asked what the plan would be until then, he just shrugged. "I'm not completely sure. I guess start looking for more werewolves, that are willing to become hybrids, and if not, well, use force." He smirked, looking at Sadie. "But, in the meantime, I can treat you to dinner? Tomorrow night? I know this great place in the next town. Italian cuisine." He commented. He wanted to get closer to this girl, he wanted her badly to say yes. Klaus didn't know why, but being around Sadie was not only challenging at time, but part of him felt more.. human, though he wouldn't admit it to anyone. Ever.

~

Brooke nodded, smiling as she wrapped her arm through Stefan's as they headed to her car. Being with him right now felt just right. She was a little disappointed when he didn't kiss her. Brooklyn wasn't really one to make the first move. Brooklyn was about to get inside when she stopped herself. It was time for new changes, so Brooke turned around and headed to the direction of Stefan's car, but saw him leaning against the car, injured. "Stefan!" She called out, jogging the rest of the way to him. She saw the stake in his stomach, and heard Bonnie on the phone. She carefully took the phone from him and let Bonnie know she had it handled.

"Okay, just lay down and be still." She said. Brooke placed her hands on the stake, after counting to three, she pulled it out, blood followed by it. "Here, take some." She said, holding her wrist to his mouth. "It's okay, you need blood, you need to heal before everyone starts coming out here questioning." She said, putting her wrist close to his mouth.

[BeautifullyxMad]

Sadie looked over to him. "Alrigh, find more wolves. I know where to look, but we need to leave my sister out of this." she said. "That's all I ask." she told him, and she looked to where her sister had been and watched as Caroline left with her. His next thing though, she looked at him. He really didn't give up, but she let out a sigh. "Alrigh', I s'pose it won' 'urt. Pick me up 'round 6." she said to him before Caroline came back in and got her jacket, looking over to her. Sadie just waved her to leave, and she leaned back against the chair.

She saw someone come into the bar though, and she saw them head straight into the bathroom, some blood on their hands, and she rose a brow. "I'll be righ' back." she told Klaus, heading into the woman's bathroom where the man was washing his hands. "You're in the wrong bathroom." she commented and he turned and looked at her. "Men's is the nex' door." she said to him, and he nodded, but she saw the blood on him and he looked up to her. He went to attack her, but she grabbed his arm and twisted it up behind up and held him against the wall.

"You're strong." he said, and she shrugged.

"Gotta be." she said.

-&-

Stefan looked up and saw Brooke and when she pulled the stake out of him, he coughed and held his stomach, sitting up slightly and when Brooke offered him her wrist he looked at her. She knew. He nodded and he took her wrist and drank some of her blood before pushing her wrist away, gently. "Thank you." he whispered, coughing a little more. "Did you see who did this?" he asked her, and soon he saw Caroline come over.

"What happened?" she asked and he noticed the girl with her, who nodded.

"No kiddin', you look worse than a dingo in the Outback withou' wat'r." she commented. She had to have been Sadie's sister.

"Someone attacked me, a hunter I think." he said, and Caroline thought a moment.

"He just went into the Grill." she said and Stefan stood, though shakily.

"Don't worry about it. We just need to get out of here and try to figure something out." he said to them, and he held his stomach.

"Brooklyn, will you drive him home? Khloe and I will follow." Caroline asked her.

[newmommy1993]

Klaus shook his head as her demand. "No problem, I can do that." He said, sipping on his last glass of scotch. Klaus looked over and watched as Caroline and Sadie's sister left, Khloe was her name? He smirked when she agreed to finally go out with him, but something inside him exploded with happiness. Usually, Klaus didn't have to work this hard to get what he wanted, and he truly hoped it would all be worth it. He felt it would be, anyway. He nodded when Sadie told him she'd be right back.

He downed the rest of his scotch as he waited on her, but heard something going on in the woman's bathroom, where Sadie was. Getting up, he casually slipped in there without being seen, and saw Sadie pinning a man up against the wall. A hunter by the looks of it. "Well, well. Who do we have here?" Klaus asked, folding his arms against his chest. "I'm guessing... hunter?" He asked with a shrug, looking at the man. "We'll take him back to my place, love. Question him, find out why he is here." Klaus said.

Brooklyn knew what Stefan was for a few days now, she wasn't sure how she found it, but she just felt it, and seeing the wooden stake sticking out of his stomach convinced her for sure. When his fangs sunk into her wrist, she shut her eyes and gasped softly. It didn't really hurt to bad, just stung at first. When he took enough, she took her wrist back and pressed her other hand on the two bite marks. She looked up at Stefan and shook her head when he asked if she saw who did this. "No, I didn't see anything. I just.. er.. forgot something, my jacket, and saw you laying on the ground. Are you alright?" She asked, but looked up as Caroline and a brunette girl came over to them.

Brooke shrugged at Caroline's question. "We don't know. Someone just came from behind him and staked him." She said, turning back towards Stefan. Brooke helped Stefan up and she nodded at Caroline's question. "Yeah, I will." She said and waved to the two girls before helping Stefan into the passenger side of his car. She would've went to hers, but it was too far, and he still looked weak. Once she helped him in, she got into the driver's side, starting it up and headed to the Salvatore boarding house. "How are you feeling?" Brooke asked as she turned into the driveway. Once parking the car, she helped Stefan inside and to the couch.

[BeautifullyxMad]

Sadie looked to Klaus when he entered the girl's bathroom and nodded, bringing up her other hand and pressing two fingers into the side of the man's neck and she watched him crumple to the floor. "There, 'e shouldn' argue too much now. 'owever, 'e will be wakin' up soon, so we bet'r go." she said, bringing the man's arm over her shoulder as she followed Klaus out to his car and she helped place the man in the back seat as her sister and Caroline drove off and Brooklyn and Stefan in front of them. That explained the blood, but soon Sadie hopped in the passenger's seat of Klaus' car and sighed.

"Why would a 'unter e'en bother to try anythin' in this town? It's a vampire 'ub, and I've learned 'ow that works. 'unters ne'er stand a chance." she grumbled, looking to the man, and she touched his wrist, his bracelet rubbing against her and burning her slightly. "Wolf's bane? That's not good." she said. She looked at the man again, and then at Klaus. "So, I 'sume you'll be the one tryin' to get the answers out of 'im? If you don' min' I would like to try somethin' on 'im. Before 'e gets too... cocky." she said with a small smile and when they pulled up to Klaus' mansion, she blinked her eyes in disbelief at the sheer size of the home and she shook her head and helped Klaus bring the man inside and get him situated in a chair.

-&-

Stefan looked to Brooklyn when they got to the car and he nodded a bit. "I'm better." he said, and when she helped him inside and to the couch, he laid down and winced. "What a couple of days, eh?" he commented and he rubbed his stomach and soon Caroline and Khloe came inside and Stefan sat up a bit, watching Caroline disappear down into the cellar and she came up with a blood bag.

"What happened?" she asked.

"I went to get into my car and then someone stabbed me. It was completely out of nowhere." he answered, and Khloe looked at her phone.

"I believe my sister and tha' 'ybrid fella are on it." she said, and Stefan looked at her. "Wha' my sister is a big girl."

Stefan shook his head. "I wonder if this has anything to do with cure." he suggested, and he held his stomach. "With Elena, Damon, and Rebekah gone looking for it, there is a possibility that word got around and the hunters are trying to find it to kill whomever it is they want. Including Klaus."

"Let them, so long as he has taken the cure." Caroline commented, and soon Stefan looked over to Brooklyn. He could smell her blood, and so could Caroline apparently.

"You might want to wrap your wrist. The bathroom is upstairs and to the left. There should be some first aid stuff in there. Or I could give you some of my blood." he said to her.

[newmommy1993]

Klaus watched as the man felt unconscious to the tiled ground. He nodded and threw the other arm over his other shoulder. When they walked out of the girls bathroom, dragging a man who was knocked out, well it earned them several stares. "Drank too much." Klaus said, forcing a humorous smile on his face as they dragged him out and tossed him into the backseat of Klaus' car. Klaus raised a brow as Sadie got into the passenger side of the car. He followed her, sliding in behind the wheel, starting the vehicle up. He started on the way to his place.

Klaus looked to her briefly before turning back to the road. "You'd be surprised at the many reasons, love." He answered coolly, but snapped his head over when he heard the sizzling of burnt flesh. "Wolf's bane? Why would they have that?" He asked, turning back to the road. Wolf's bane to were's was like revain to vampires. He nodded at Sadie's request. "Fine by me, I suppose." He said as he pulled up to his manor. Once parked, they carried the man inside. Klaus placed the man in a chair, tying him up securely with some rope. The man had finally started to come to a few minutes later. "You can go first, if you'd like." He said, motioning to the man.

~

Brooke gave him a half-hearted smile. "Yes, it has been." She told him. She looked over as Caroline and the foreign girl with the accent, was Khole her name, came inside. She watched as Caroline went to get a blood bag. They talked for a little bit about theories, but Brooke remembered she was still bleeding. She looked over to Stefan when he offered her his blood. She nodded and looked over to Caroline. "Right, well we're going to go, let us know if you need anything." She said, grabbing Khloe's hand as they left the Salvatore boarding house.

Brooke tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and sat down on the free place beside Stefan on the couch. "I'll be okay, it'll heal on its own." She said, taking the wet rag out of the bowl she brought, dabbing it on Stefan's forehead. Brooke's eyes made contact with Stefan's, and without thinking, she leaned down kissing him, the rag dropping out of her hands, placing them on his cheek. She pulled back only a couple inches, looking at Stefan. She wanted to be with him in every possible way right now, her body was on fire. Brooke kissed him again, molding her body into his.
