Chapters will vary based on the episodes. Some may be a little boring (kind of like this one) while others (with lots of KLAROLINE potential) will be more entertaining. Also the lengths will vary just based on what ideas I get while watching the episode.

I would suggest going back and watching at least this episode. My mindset was totally different about Klaus, Eiijah, and everyone. I mean, it's crazy to think about how little the characters and even the viewers back in season 2. It's amazing how far the show has come.

Season 2 Episode 17 Know Thy Enemy

Caroline couldn't understand why nothing good ever happened to her. She had told Matt about her being a vampire. Granted, it wasn't exactly at the ideal moment. And he was now nowhere to be found. He was missing. It's not how it was supposed to happen.

Caroline had called Matt a total of 25 times. She was beyond frustrated and scared and upset and freaked out. What if he told someone? She glanced up, and there he was. Waiting for her in her house. She sighed and cautiously entered the room.

"You're here," she breathed.

"Your mom brought me here," his tone was all seriousness.

"My mom?" she asked confused.

"I accused her of covering up Vicki's death and she threatened to arrest me."

"Did you tell her anything else?" Caroline tried not to sound on edge, but she was worried. Her life was at stake.

"Nothing about you," Matt reassured her, guessing at her sudden intensity.

She breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't going to have to bleed her mom out of vervain and compel her. She wasn't going to have to see her mom look at her the way that Matt was right now. Like she was a monster.

"I had a feeling she wasn't going to believe anything I said. So I shut up. And she brought me here to cool down. But she got called away," Matt trailed off.

"Matt-" she took a step forward, hoping they could overcome this.

He quickly backed up. The look on his face was one of disgust and fear. It scared Caroline's very soul. She never wanted anyone to ever look at her like that again. Like she was a beast, a murderer. And the worst part was that it came from someone she cared deeply about, someone she loved entirely.

"Why'd you stick around if you're still scared of me?" her tone hinted at resentment.

"Because I need to know more...about Vicki...and about you," he loosened up a bit.

"I'll tell you anything you wanna know," Caroline promised.

Matt deserved that at least. He couldn't be kept in the dark any longer. It was putting him in danger.

...

"So after I hurt you in the woods, I made you forget," she explained, pacing the room.

Matt was sitting on her couch, just staring at the ground. She knew it was a lot to take in. He had just learned of an entirely new world, one in which your darkest nightmares were a reality. It was a dangerous world.

She sighed heavily. It was a dangerous world, that's why she'd tried to break it off, "And I promised myself I'd stay away from you, but I-I couldn't."

Caroline turned back to look Matt in the eye, "'Cause I love you."

Matt looked away as if to brush off the sentiment. Caroline wasn't having that. He needed to know that she really, truly cared at least. Then maybe he would be able to see past this. At least, that's what she hoped.

She took a step forward, "I do, I love you, Matt. So much. Gosh, I'm so sorry about what happened to Vicki."

Caroline waited, staring at him expectantly. She had spilled all of her secrets, and Stefan's and Damon's and Elena's. Everyone was at risk. Worst of all, her heart was at risk. She'd just poured it all out, and he was still staring off into space, unwilling to meet her imploring gaze.

"And I wish you'd say something."

He took a deep breath, "I'm all alone."

"No, you're not," she scrunched up her face.

Had she not just made an entire confession about how much she cared for him? Did she not just say she loved him? Caroline felt like she was about to burst. Why wasn't she enough? Did she just not count anymore? Now that she was a vampire. Did he just not even see her? Her affection, her love, her care it was all thrown away because all he could see through his narrow vision was a monster.

"My mom doesn't care. My sister's dead. And all of my friends are liars," Matt was distressed, frustrated, angry. "And you're a-"

"I'm still me!" she cut him, not willing to hear whatever disgusted word he was about to utter. "I'm still me. It's just-I'm just a little bit-" She moved to sit beside him on the couch, begging him to see her as herself, as a real person. She was still there. All her thoughts. All her feelings.

Matt leapt off the couch, "No, no."

He was freaking out, inside his own head. There was nothing Caroline could do. "This is too much. All of this is just too much. I don't wanna know this."

Matt was spitting the words in her face; she leveled with him, "Tell me what I can do. Tell me what I can do. I-I wanna help you."

He thought for a moment, staring at the blonde in front of him, "You can make me forget."

There was a callousness to his words that broke Caroline's heart. He didn't want to know her as herself, as she was now. She would never be that silly, little human girl again. And Caroline didn't want to be her either. That girl was an insecure mess. Caroline liked how strong she was now, and she wanted Matt to like her for it too. She wanted him to want to know the woman she was becoming. And he had thrown it back in her face that he didn't.

"You've done it to me before," he said.

She shook her head. Eventually Matt would find out again. He wasn't going to be able to escape it as long as he stayed in this town. Running away from the problem wasn't solving anything.

"I don't-I don't think that's-"

He cut her off, "Please make me forget, Caroline. I don't wanna look at you and see what I'm seeing right now."

Her brow furrowed, tears fresh in her eyes daring to spill over. He hated her. She loved him so much, and he hated her. All he could see was a monster.

"But...maybe after-" she still had some hope that he could come around. Elena had right?

"Just make me forget Caroline!" he yelled ferociously.

She shut her eyes. Matt was scaring her. Even though she knew he couldn't physically hurt her, his temper was frightening. She had never seen him so distraught. Caroline bowed her head, trying to fight against the pain.

"Okay," she sniffled. "Okay Matt."

She rose to his level, smiling sadly. She placed both her hands on either side of his face in a loving gesture. Despite everything he had said tonight, despite the fact that he couldn't accept her for who she was, she still loved him. That's why she took it all away, sparing him from the pain of knowing.

...

After Matt left, Caroline just sat on her couch for hours. Matt couldn't deal with it. He didn't love her enough to find a way through it. Caroline was devastated. Why did Stefan and Elena work out? How did she get over the fact that Stefan was a vampire? Why couldn't Caroline find someone who loved her as much as that? Why was she always the unlucky one? The one no one wanted. She sat there long after he had gone home, and she just cried. Everything in her life was crumbling. She never asked to be a vampire. Katherine had changed her and her life was in ruins. Her mom would find out soon enough. Caroline knew she wouldn't be able to hide it forever. Her mom would hate her just like Matt did. And who did she have left? Elena. Stefan. Damon. Maybe Bonnie. Bonnie didn't even see her in the same way anymore. And Elena was so wrapped up in Salvatore drama that she barely had time for her. Elena didn't care as much as Caroline needed her to. Damon? The evil jerk who raped her when she was a human. That's one of the people she had left on her side. It was ridiculous how the list was dwindling. Even Tyler was gone. Caroline's only real, true friend who seemed to actually care about her was Stefan. He had helped her cope with vampirism.

Caroline continued to cry. In her life of vampirism, she would lose so many people she loved. Not only would they die before she did, but now she was realizing that she'd lose them simply because they'd stop seeing her. In her place, they'd see a monster. Something evil that needed to be eradicated. They would never see her the same again. And Caroline wondered if there was some truth to that. Had she lost her humanity? Would she? Would she turn out like Isobel or Damon, or even Stefan in his Ripper days? She didn't know, but the thought scared her. She decided right there to never lose her humanity. She would fight for it with all that she had. She would never allow herself to lose it; she couldn't lose who she was. She wouldn't look in the mirror and see a monster. She refused. Katherine may have turned her into a vampire without her consent, but she was going to make the best of it. She'd be the kind of vampire she wanted to be. Because she was Caroline Forbes, and no one could change that.

...

Hope you liked it, even though it was heavily Matt & Caroline based. Trust me, I like writing Klaroline scenes much better...(; I pretty much just wrote this to get the story going. It's the first time Klaus appears in TVD, but he's in Alaric's body. I also just want to get you guys into Caroline's mindset. I feel like that's important as far as her relationship with Matt goes and then Tyler. Klaus is what she needs, and I want to showcase that.

REVIEW PLEASE!

Let me know if I reiterated what actually happens too much!

Sorry it was so...blah. I want KLAROLINE(;

Next chapter, I have a juicy little moment between them...and Klaus is definitely not using the right equipment. Haha. (Wow it's so totally more innocent than I made it sound)
