A/N: It's been a while. I have a couple of ideas of how this could go. Hint: one is not exactly Klaroline friendly. Maybe it's just my way of venting my frustration with how the TVD and TO seasons are going or the fact that Caroline is turning into a pathetically weak character who I am not respecting at all right now or that Klaus, for being the big bad, cries far too much on TO. Ok, got that off my chest
This will probably not be longer than 3 chapters at most. I'm still getting my feet wet with fanfic and can't commit to more than a 3 or 4 chapter story. I will try to update in the next couple of weeks but with the holidays, no promises. Oh, and apologizes for any spelling or grammar mistakes. Another oh, no Klaroline in the beginning but it will get there, promise.
Disclaimer: I own none of these characters or shows.

Chapter 1: Fury
Betrayal - it's a simple word but its meaning holds the power to hurt and destroy. To him, there is no forgiveness or leniency. Not family, a love, or friend will curb the fierce destruction and death that follows in his wake when he's faced with betrayal.
She did this; the one person he allowed himself to foolishly trust, love. A guttural howl explodes from within him. Across the quarter, all who hear cower and run in fear.
Those few who remain halt their steps as The Hybrid comes into view. He's a sight to behold in all his beautiful anger as golden eyes illuminate the night and deadly fangs splattered with red catch the light off the street lamps. No one is safe tonight.
A 'friend' comes up to him. 'Klaus,' she says, 'what's happened?" For a moment, she's unknown to him. All he sees is blond hair, blue eyes, and his rage escalates. He rips her throat out. In a moment of clarity he notices she falls to the ground far too quickly for a vampire. He looks again and realizes Cami, foolish girl to approach me now.
The stench of death is pungent as he makes his way through the few remaining creatures and human alike. He rips, strikes down, and tears apart all who cross his path.
"Brother," Elijah cautiously calls. The Original is about the only one safe tonight as long as the white oak stake doesn't make an appearance. Klaus turns and slowly faces his brother. "Elijah," he says, "She left me, she bloody left me." Elijah slowly approaches him. He's never seen his brother quite so heartbroken is the only word he can think of.
"What happened, Niklaus, who left?"
"Caroline," he chokes out, "Caroline, she left me."
Elijah audibly swallows. He never in a millennia thought that the couple he left six months ago would part. "Tell me, brother, what happened?"
Klaus's fallen face looks up solemnly into his brother's eyes. "She betrayed me," he quietly states. "She betrayed me and she ran, ran before I could get to her."
Elijah is stunned into a moment of silence. He's unsure of what to say much less how to say it without igniting Niklaus' rage again which is temporarily forgotten. "Tell me, brother, tell me everything," he carefully asks again as he puts his hand on Klaus' shoulder to keep his focus on him.
Niklaus shifts his head to the side, eerily smirks and pushes away. His eyes burn brightly as he says, "Oh brother, but I'm not done having fun yet - another time, Elijah."
He vamps away disappearing into the darkness. Minutes pass before Elijah hears the distant cry of a wolf. It appears Niklaus has transformed into his other half, The Wolf. Elijah sighs for he knows the number will be high and the clean-up near impossible to cover-up. He just hopes he sticks to the bayou tonight.
He quickly looks around to see Marcel approaching something or what used to be someone. He realizes it's the girl, Camille. A shame, he did like her spirit. Niklaus just might regret that one come morning.
The streets in the quarter are unusually quiet as the living buried the dead, and fear pervaded the streets as the wonder and wait of when the butchering will end. It eventually does.
He returns home more broken and shattered than he already was. He locks himself in his studio rarely appearing, speaking to no one with rage always simmering just beneath the surface.
TBC…
A/N: If you have ideas or thoughts on how you want this to go, I welcome them. Like I mention above, I have a couple of ideas I'm playing with but I'm curious what you all think Caroline could betray Klaus with that would bring about such rage and what could it possibly be that he could forgive her for or perhaps not. Until then…
Read, enjoy, review, follow etc. All means so much. Thanks.
