Hey guys! So, I am back with a new short story that will have about 4-5 chapters, I'm thinking. I got this idea last night when I saw what Caroline said to her daughter on tumblr. I hope you guys enjoy this! And trust me, I haven't forgotten about my other fanfics, but for now I am going to focus more on the ones with less words.

Title: Her Search

Summary: In hopes of protecting her daughters from the wrath of The Huntress, Caroline travels to New Orleans to visit an old friend. Unfortunately, her plan is sidetracked and she finds herself having to find Klaus in a frenzy...

Enjoy!


Pulling over to the nearest rest stop, Caroline got out of her car. Stretching, she sighed before she opened the car door in the back and her daughters came out.

"Mommy, are you calling your friend?" Elizabeth asked as she took ahold of her mother's hand and then her sister's hand.

"As a matter of fact, I am." Caroline replied as a small smile appeared on her lips, one that was determined.

"Girls, take a seat on the bench over there and I'll just be over there." She announced, motioning in the direction of the phone booth.

Unfortunately, her battery was dead and currently charging in the car. Nonetheless, she had to hear his voice.

When her daughters moved in the direction of the bench and plopped down, she smiled at them before she quickly made her way to the phone booth.

Dialing the number that she knew by heart, she put the phone to her ear and waited for him to answer.

When the phone was answered, a voice that she didn't recognize spoke.

"Hello?" The person said- a woman…

"Hi, um… I may have gotten the wrong number, but is this Klaus Mikaelson's number?"

"As a matter of fact, it is… But Niklaus hasn't had his phone in a while."

"What do you mean? Is he on a technology-free vacation or something?" Caroline joked, genuinely curious.

"Something like that," the woman quipped, sounding awfully gleeful.

"Who is this?" The blonde asked as a shiver ran down her spine and she looked around the abandoned area.

"You probably know me as the huntress, Caroline…"

"What?" Caroline cried out as her eyes widened.

Her daughters looked over at her curiously and she gave them a tight smile that didn't reach her eyes.

"Where is Klaus?"

"Your boyfriend is no longer with us, I'm afraid. He succumbed to an illness of some sort, let's just say."

"Where are you keeping him?" Caroline questioned, refusing to give up.

"Why would I tell you?" The Huntress questioned as she sighed as if she was bored and had better things to do.

"You won't get away with this." She warned. "You may have Klaus in your clutches at the moment, but he'll break free." The blonde added, her voice taking on an icy tone.

"Are you sure about that? For three years now, he has been under my control. Surely, that should tell you who is the stronger party… Unless of course your hair color proves your lack of intelligence."

"Like I said before, you won't get away with this." Caroline announced, refusing to give in to the woman's tactics.

"I already have," she stated, her voice taking on a menacing tone.

"Mommy!" Elizabeth cried out as she ran in the blonde's direction.

Turning to her daughter, she looked behind Elizabeth and a coldness spread throughout her- one that wouldn't vanquish easily.

"Your sister, Lizzy. Where is she?" Caroline asked as her eyes widened.

"Some-someone took her." Elizabeth responded and Caroline felt all feeling drain out of her just as her face turned a pasty color.

Putting the phone to her ear, she heard a laugh ring out on the other end of the line and immediately knew what had occurred.

"Where is my daughter?" She asked, hatred seeping into every fiber of her being.

"Your daughter is safe." The woman reassured. "For now at least." She added, sounding as if she didn't have a care in the world.

"My children are innocents in this whole situation." Caroline argued as she took ahold of Lizzy's hand just as tears sprang to the little girl's eyes.

"They are, but if you ever want to see her again, I recommend you listen to me very carefully."

"What do you want?" She questioned as she clutched Lizzy's hand as if it was a lifeline that she couldn't let go of.

"For one, I want you to find the rest of Niklaus's siblings. They have disappeared, but I am fairly certain they are hiding somewhere in New Orleans. As soon as you find them, let me know and we'll set up a meeting place. Perhaps then I will return your daughter to you."

"And if I am unable to locate them? What then?"

"Your daughter dies and sweet Lizzy will follow shortly after."

"Why are you doing this?" Caroline asked just as her voice cracked.

"I have a score to settle with the Mikaelson's and they don't trust easily. You, however… You'll be able to infiltrate their hiding place and then you'll lure them into my trap. I know it for certain. After all, you are the love of their brother's life."

"You know nothing of my relationship with Klaus, so do not act as if you do."

"I know more than enough. And though you may not believe he loves you, people in pain call for those they love. You were the one he cried for when he was being tortured. Imagine that, the big bad hybrid crying over a baby vampire. Romantic, isn't it?" She questioned and Caroline's temper snapped.

"When I find you, you'll wish you never crossed me or hurt my family."

"It's never bad to dream, sweetheart. So, do we have a deal or shall I tell my men to tear out your sweet, innocent daughter's heart?"

"We have a deal." Caroline immediately agreed.

"Perfect," the woman replied, clapping. "Now, I do bid you farewell, darling. Until we meet, yes?"

"Go to hell," Caroline responded, sounding completely cold.

"I've been there and back," the huntress reassured before the line went dead.

When Caroline placed the phone back, she took ahold of Lizzy and held her against her chest.

"Where is my sister, mommy? Is she okay?"

"She will be, Lizzy. We are going to find her and then you'll meet my friend, okay?"

"Okay," Elizabeth nodded as she hugged her mother tightly.
