AN: This is a random fic that I started writing bc I had writer's block on another story. This just came from randomness. Don't get on me if the timelime is off a bit. If you don't have a sense of humor don't read it.


"You can't just use the gem however you want!"

"Shut up!"

"If you do this, you'll change the timeline, you'll change everything!"

"I don't care!"

"No! You can't do this!"

"Just do the spell!"

"You'll regret this, you can't change what's already written!"

"Watch me"

"If you change time, you could die!"

"None of it matters! Without him, I have no reason to go on. Now do the spell!"

A bright light burst throughout the room, and when it faded there was nothing left.


A body fell into the dark alley behind the Grill. The blonde looked up and around at her surroundings. She got up and walked towards the parking lot. She looked around and it all looked the same. She vamp sped to a familiar house. Her fingers touched the doorknob and stopped. She went around the back and climbed in through the window instead. She heard the shower stop and waited. She saw the magenta dress hanging on the back of her closet door. She knew the spell had worked. She was in time for homecoming. She had traveled back in time just enough.

She watched the mirror image of herself walk out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel. She instantly grabbed her neck and snapped it. She watched as the body fell to the floor.
"Sorry babe, you're staying in tonight, the big kids are gonna play tonight"


People were arriving at the Mikealson's mansion for the party. Tyler was carrying in a box of alcohol for the party. He saw Caroline arrive alone. She took her jacket off and tossed it in the car, revealing her magenta dress. She walked towards the house.

"Hey" Tyler said

"Hey, what's a girl got to do to get a drink around here?" Caroline asked

"There's a tap out back"

"I'm classier than that you know" Caroline squeezed his arm and walked past him.

There was a band playing in the back. Everyone was dancing and drinking. Klaus was walking through watching everyone. Caroline froze when she saw him walking around. She could feel tears forming in her eyes and she had to look away.

He looked like him, he walked like him, but it wasn't him. He was younger, more impulsive and angry. The hybrid she loved was older, wiser, and happier. She had killed for him, stolen for him, done horrible things that her present self could not even comprehend. And she would do it all over again for him.

She pulled herself together and looked around the party. She saw that Matt arrived with Elena, or rather Katherine pretending to be Elena. She knew that Tyler would vervaine her soon. She decided to make her move.

Klaus was standing by a table playing beer pong with his hybrids. Typical of him. She walked over.

"It's not really fun if they let you win" Caroline said

Klaus looked over at her.

"Unless you're afraid of a real challenge" Caroline said as she walked closer to him

"Hardly a challenge coming from a baby vampire" Klaus said

"Sounds like someone's afraid," Caroline said as she fixed his tie,"but I won't tell anyone"

Klaus kept his eyes on her as her fingers ran down his chest to his tie and pulled it, adjusting it. She was invading his personal space, something unlike her. He watched her as she fidgeted with it and let her hands rest on his chest.

"There, now you look presentable. Say hi to your dad for me" Caroline smiled

Klaus's eyes narrowed. He grabbed her wrist.

"No need to be so rough. Your dad's here, but don't worry, you'll be fine" Caroline said as she smoothed over the lapels of his jacket.

"How do you even-"

"I gotta run, Tyler's gonna vervain me. But you'll be fine. Smile, and show off your dimples" Caroline smiled and then vamp sped up the stairs.

Klaus stood there confused. Another hybrid appeared.

"You have a visitor, he says his name is Michael"


Caroline walked into the room with Tyler following her.

"What are you guys planning tonight?" Tyler asked

"Oh Tyler, I know you have that freaky sire bond with Klaus. It's ok, you'll break it soon enough. And to answer your question, I don't know what everyone's planning. They kinda left me out of the loop cause they think Barbie can't follow instructions of something. God I hate the stupid nickname"

"Caroline!"

"What? I'm not deaf! Vampire hearing and all!"

"Caroline, Klaus is onto you guys, he's 2 steps ahead of you-"

"Yeah I know, blah blah blah. And you're gonna try to vervain me to keep me from getting hurt. Don't worry I'm not mad, well I will be, but whatever"

"Caroline, you're not making any sense"

Caroline sighed and walked up to Tyler and hugged him.

"It's ok Tyler," Caroline said as she snapped his neck, "It's for the best"

Tyler's body fell to the floor. Caroline looked down at him. Caroline walked past him and out the room. She watched from the top of the stairs as Klaus and Damon struggled on the floor. She watched as Stefan pushed Damon off and Klaus grabbed the stake and flew towards Michael. She heard the scream and howls of pain and watched as Damon disappeared and Klaus freed Stefan. She watched as Stefan walked out and Klaus looked up as he could tell she was still there. He always had that ability, to always know where she was. Before she finished blinking, he was infront of her.

"You knew, you were part of it" he said

"No, they kinda left me in the dark this time. Maybe because I was too blonde"

"Why did you warn me?"

"I have my reasons. And your hybrid is in the other room, you should get better help these days"

"You said Tyler was going to vervain you"

"Yeah, he tried, again you should get better help, or at least train them better"

"Isn't Tyler your boyfriend?"

"I guess he is. But not after tonight. And don't you try to get him to bite me!" Caroline said a she poked him in the chest, "There are other ways to get to Stefan and you need to leave me out of it!"
Klaus grabbed her hand to stop her from poking him.

"If you want to keep that finger I suggest that you stop touching me"

"Oh please, you're all bark, if you wanted to bite me you would have done it already"

"For a baby vampire you're not very smart"

"Who said I was a baby?"

Klaus looked into her eyes and he could see there was something different about her. He could tell from her eyes she was older than 17, much older.

"Girl's gotta get her beauty sleep. You can huff and puff and blow my house down tomorrow." Caroline smiled and walked off.

Klaus turned and watched her walk down the stairs, knowing she put an extra sway in her walk. She knew he was watching her and kept walking.


Caroline walked to the Salvatore's house. She could hear Damon yelling and Elena trying to calm him down. She rolled her eyes. The triangle with them would never end. Even when Elena was turned, she ended up switching back and forth between the brothers every few centuries or so. Caroline walked in past them.

"Barbie what are you doing?" Damon asked

"Long story, Tyler, sire bond, vervaining me, I don't want to go home and find him there with more vervain. He won't come here" Caroline said as she walked past them

"Tyler vervained you?" Elena yelled

"I'll tell you about it in the morning!" Caroline yelled back


Tyler was running back to Klaus's mansion. He burst into the room where Klaus was looking at the renovations of the house.

"You made me do it!" Tyler yelled

"Do what? Could be a little be more vague here?" Klaus said as he looked over the plans of his house

"You asked me to bite Caroline, and I did it! You know what a hybrid bite can do to a vampire!"

"Oh, well I asked you, and you said no, and that was the end of that. However you decided to bite her anyway"

"Because you did that weird sire bond with me!"

"Are you sure it's not because you're into the kinky stuff?"

"She's going to die!"

"Technically she's already dead, but yes Tyler she is going to die, because you bit her. Now if you can stop your yelling, get me my jacket and I'll see what I can do"


Klaus was heading towards Caroline's house when he stopped suddenly. He heard something and followed it. He saw Caroline climbing into her window. He vamp sped over to her and grabbed her before she got inside.

"He didn't bite you, this is a trap" Klaus said

"Shit! You weren't suppose to see me"

"What are they planning?"

"Nothing! Tyler did bite me! Well not me me, the other me"

"Explain yourself before I rip your heart out"

"You won't do anything, all bark"

Klaus's grip on her tightened.

"Tyler did bite Caroline. She's in there dying"

"Then who are you?"

"I'm Caroline too, but not from here. Look I'll tell you everything after you heal me, I mean the other me"

"How did you-"

"Know that your blood cures werewolf bites? I know a lot of things, you have to heal her or else she'll die, and I won't be having this conversation with you"

"You're from the future"

"Something like that. Just go, Matt will let you in"

Caroline started climbing back into the window and Klaus watched her. He was confused and intrigued by her. Klaus walked to the front door and knocked. Matt walked slowly towards it.

Caroline walked over to herself lying in bed dying. She saw that she was wearing Tyler's bracelet.

"Hey Care, wake up"

Care looked up from the bed and saw herself standing there.

"I must be dying, I'm seeing things"

"You are dying, but don't worry, you'll be ok, you always will be."

"The ghost version of me is trying to sound like a fortune cookie"

"Care, you're going to be ok, just remember this moment, when you think you're going to die, because you're not. Remember this moment because it will change your life. Remember him"

"Who?"

"He loves you, he always put you first, he chased after you, he wants you and only you. You're his number 1 choice, his only choice. And you won't feel it now, or a week from now, but you will and you will remember this moment."

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm you, from the future. You end up falling in love, being so happy. Remember that he loves you. Always."

"I am delirious"

"Yes, and tomorrow the world will look different, because of him."

Caroline heard the footsteps coming down the hallway and she quickly climbed back out the window and sat under it. She heard Klaus enter. She leaned her head back against the wooden panels of the house. She remember this conversation they had. She remembered him offering her the world if she choose it. She got up and vamp sped out of there.


Klaus was writing a note to Caroline on the back of the invitation. He signed it fondly, Klaus. He wondered if that sounded too old fashioned or if the words would be lost of her. He slipped it under the ribbon of the box.

"She's not that blond" Caroline said from behind

Klaus turned around and saw her standing there in his house.

"She understands what fondly means. She may be blond but she's not stupid" Caroline said as she walked towards him.

"Weren't you going to tell me a story?"

"About a young girl and the big bad wolf? You already know how the story ends in that one," her hand runs along the top of the box, "she loves the dress, and bracelet, but she won't admit it to you"

Klaus watched her as she moved closer to him. His eye caught the sparkle of the bracelet she wore. He reached down and held onto her wrist.

"Where did you get that from?" Klaus asked

"You gave it to me as a birthday present. I didn't think vampires get alzheimer's. Then again you are special"

"Who are you?"

"We covered this already, I'm Caroline, just not from this time"

"Then when are you from and what are you doing here?"

"I came back to fix something" Caroline said turning from him, "Something that happens soon. I can't tell you anymore until later. I have to let things play out tonight"

"What things? How do I know you're not here to kill me?"

"Nik, you are so paranoid. If I was going to kill you I would have stabbed you with that white oak stake Michael had. I'm not here to kill you Nik."

"How do I know for sure?"

"You can compel me if you want. I'm not on vervain. Cmon try it" Caroline said as she stood infront of him looking right at him

Klaus looked into Caroline's eyes.

"Tell me the truth. Why are you here?"

"To cannon ball in your pool and go streaking in your backyard" Caroline said blankly

"What?"

Caroline started laughing. Klaus was frustrated and annoyed at her.

"Sorry, I had to do it. Oh don't be mad"

"You are on vervain"

"Nope, haven't been on it in a while."

"Then why can't I compel you?"

"Awe, does the big bad wolf feel inadequate? You can try again, maybe you weren't really trying."

"What are you?"

"Nik, don't be like that. You were never one to take a joke. Alright, you can't compel me. You want to know why? Because I've had your blood, a lot of it"

"How many werewolves bit you?"

"None, just one big bad hybrid, but don't worry, I bit him back. A lot"

"I would never let anyone have my blood"

"You do. But not right now. You have a dress to deliver"

"What are we in the future?"

"Friends"

"Friends that bite each other?"

"You are kinda kinky like that"

"We're lovers"

"Were"

"What happened?"

"You should go now, otherwise you'll miss her"

Caroline vamp sped out of the house leaving Klaus standing there with the realization that he and Caroline would end up together somehow. He smiled and picked up the box.


Caroline watched herself in the blue dress standing next to the horse. She watched as Klaus talked to her about horses and other things. She watched as she walked off leaving Klaus standing there.

"Go after her" Caroline said

Klaus turned around and saw her standing there wearing his jacket and one of his necklaces. This version of Caroline had made herself quite comfortable with his closet. His eyes glanced down, watching the red pleated skirt sway as she walked closer. He had to admit his jacket did look good on her with the red school girl type skirt and black boots.

"She wants you to go after her. Why are guys so dense?"

"She made it clear she wants nothing to do with me. What am I saying? She's you!"

"Yes, she's me, and I'm telling you to go after her. When a girl walks off like that she wants you to follow. No wonder you were alone for a thousand years. Talk about socially awkward"

"You're not helping!"

"Awkward turtle!"

"What?"

"Just go in there and talk to her, show her your art, but let her figure out you're an artist rather than telling her. She's blond but she's not stupid"

"This is ridiculous!"

"This night has to play out like it's suppose to" Caroline turned him around and pushed him towards the house, "Go!"


Caroline walked into Klaus's library where he stood next to the fireplace throwing in his drawings of Caroline.

"Which one are you?" Klaus asked never looking up

"Did you kiss her at least?" Caroline asked

Klaus looked up and threw his sketch pad into the fire. He walked over to her and grabbed onto her arms.

"No, she lured me out away from my brother so her friends could try and kill us. And I took your stupid advice and followed her out of the grill where I left Kol by himself!"

"The one time you actually listen to me! I said follow her last night! Not today!"

"You said when a girl walks off like that she wants to be followed!"

"Yes! But I didn't say you had to follow her every time!"

"You are infuriating!"

"But that's why you keep me around"

"There's something you're not telling me."

"Your sister really should have better taste in who she sleeps with. Like seriously. You should tell her not to have a repeat performance, especially with Damon of all people. Believe me I know"

"What? My sister with that, that-"

"Yes, please just give her some attention so she doesn't go and sleep with him again! For both our sakes!"

"I'll rip his head off"

"Take a number, the line starts behind me"

"And why do you hate him so much?"

"How about I show you instead?"

Caroline and Klaus both turn their heads as they see Rebekah walk into the room. Caroline vamp speeds it out of the house leaving the two siblings behind.

"Who was that?" Rebekah asked

"No one. I thought you'd have gone by now. Elijah's leaving. Kol's ran off. Finn and mother are nowhere to be found"

"Nik, we need to talk"


Klaus was packing his things away in boxes at the house when Rebekah came rushing in. The two siblings had their talk, which left Rebekah in tears running off and Klaus standing there. He had made his choice.

"Your sister forgot to mention the fact that I'm still at the school, being held by Alaric, oh and by the way she saw him snap my neck and right now I'm dripping in vervain" Caroline said as she leaned against the wall

"Not my concern, the Salvatore brothers will rescue you"

"No they won't. They won't do anything unless Elena's involved somehow. So right now I'm sitting there with #2 pencils jammed into my hands with vervain down my throat."

"What do you want from me?"

"I want you to care!" Caroline said as she knocked him hard and sent him flying across the room, "You choose Elena over your own sister. Are you going to choose her over me?"

"The Caroline I know doesn't want anything to do with me!" Klaus said as she flashed in front of her.

"Because you chose Elena. Everyone picks her! It's always been her. I'm always second choice, plan B. the backup. Everyone wants her! Why?"

"Clearly you have issues you need to work out"

"You chose me first. I was your only choice. At least I thought I was. I don't get it. I'll never get it. And I thought guys liked blondes"

"We do, especially infuriating ones that like to bite me apparently"

"Shut up Nik!" Caroline hits him in the shoulder

"You're cute when you're angry"

Caroline pushed him away again.

"We're more than lovers aren't we? No one ever calls me Nik except for Rebekah"

"Your sister has really bad taste in guys"

"Stop trying to change the subject"

"We're a lot of things Nik, but right now we're out of time, you have to go to the school"

"I know to save you from Alaric" Klaus reached out to touch her face

"No, to save Elena, she's there now trying to save me. You should take Stefan and Damon with you. But be careful" Caroline placed her hands on his chest

"We'll talk when I get back" Klaus looked at her intensely before pulling away from her

"I'll be here waiting"


Klaus returned with Elena. He tied her to a chair and watched as the nurse pushed the needle into her arm. Caroline watched Tyler as he walked out of the room going to get more blood bags. He quickly texted Stefan and Damon.

"Hey Tyler, hope you're not mad" Caroline said

"About what?"

"About this" Caroline snapped his neck and walked into the room

"You do one nice thing and you follow up with a nasty one. Some things never change" Caroline said

"Caroline! Help me!" Elena begged

"And you wonder why no one likes you Nik" Caroline glared at him

"What do you want?"

"You choose her over your sister. You're going to choose her over me?"

"Her life is tied to Alaric's. She has to die"

"Oh don't worry, she will"

"Caroline!" Elena screamed

"Because you choose her over your sister, Rebekah's become a loose cannon. And what's about to happen is going to set her off"

"What's going to happen?"

"You have to come with me now! They're coming" Caroline said as she held her hand out to him

"Where are we going? I still need her blood"

"Forget the blood. You don't need anymore hybrids. What you need is your family and they are ready and willing to fight for you, but you're too stubborn to see it!"

"As fun as this has been, I think you should leave"

Caroline turned her head and could hear them coming. She turned back to Klaus.

"Last chance" Caroline said as she stepped back from him

In a flash Damon grabbed onto Klaus, and Stefan appeared grabbing his other arm and then shoving his hand onto his chest. Klaus looked at Stefan and felt his heartbeat getting slower. Caroline sighed.

"Blondie?" Damon asked

"You always have to do things the hard way don't you Nik?" Caroline said

In a flash Caroline broke Stefan's hand and slammed him into the wall, breaking his back. She turned and grabbed onto Damon's neck and pushed him against the wall, holding him there.

"What the hell blondie?" Damon gasped for air

Klaus sat up feeling his heart beat return to normal and watched Caroline holding Damon.

"Remember when you fed on me and used me?" Caroline asked

"That was so long ago, all forgotten in the past you know" Damon said

"I didn't forget" Caroline sank her fangs into his neck and until he passed out. She tossed his body aside as if it were nothing. She turned her attention back to Klaus.

"Your welcome. I just saved you from being beef jerky. Now we have to go" Caroline grabbed onto his hand and pulled him up.

"You saved me, why?"

"You ask too many questions. This would have been a lot easier if you just came with me"

"Where are we going?"

"Not where, when"

Klaus reached over and wiped the blood from her mouth. His touch seemed to make her melt.

"Don't"

"Don't what?"

"Text Rebekah and tell her to leave town"

Caroline reached into her pocket and pulled out a green gem surrounded in gold with a chain. She held it close to her chest and looked over at Klaus. Klaus looked down at the green gem.

"Isn't that-"

"No it's your mom!"

A bright light engulfed the room, and when it faded they were both gone.


Random note: I was listening to Garbage's #1 Crush when I wrote this.

and ff was being uber lame and wouldn't let me in so this chapter is pretty long.
