Summary

Caroline Forbes is not what she seems, with an ancient family secret lost over the generations. What will she do when she finds out the truth that was never meant to be remembered?

A/N this story is set from 5/11 onwards, it's not canon, I've taken the story off on my own tangent from 5/11 onwards, I may use some elements of the TO story lines but not in the order they have been played out on the show.

I know! Another 5/11 starting from the woods story but please bear with me I hope you'll like where I go with it.

This story is rate T mostly for language, I can't write full on smut so I won't try but I may experiment with trying to be more sensually descriptive to see if I can.

I was yours and you were mine

Chapter One

Caroline felt the slight breeze as Klaus disappeared leaving her in the woody clearing where they had just had the most epic sex she had in her life to date. It had taken all her effort to nonchalantly pull her clothes back on after, neither of them had spoken while they'd dressed. He had pulled on his shirt and turned to face her, in a second he'd closed the gap between them capturing her lips. Just as quickly as she had felt the warmth of his kiss it was gone and when she opened her eyes, she realised so was he.

Now he was gone she finally let go of the breath she'd been holding, reaching out she steadied herself on a nearby tree. She did her best to straighten herself up brushing twigs and leaves off of her clothing; she took a deep breath trying hard to compose herself. She needed to get back to the others before she was missed. She vamp sped a few hundred yards before she stopped abruptly. Her heart and her head were ragging against what she had just done; she placed her fingers to her lips thoughtfully. How could she face her friends now, surely they see right through her? Wouldn't they? What would they think of her? They were all aware of Klaus affection for Caroline, they had after all encouraged her to use it against him from time to time, as a distraction technique. She had always gone along with it because she understood just as well as any off them that Klaus was a murderous sociopath but then why did she always secretly relish the opportunity to see him again. She could have said no to being used like that but she never had, the chance to have him look at her again with his mischievous smirk and eyes that dances playfully. What she never told her friends was that ever since the night Klaus had first saved her life she had felt a pull towards him and she had been fighting like hell against it, until today that is. Today she'd realised that for all his charming bravado Klaus had been feeling it too. The sexual tension had been building for months and then he had left, something else she'd never told her friends was that she had found herself missing him. Today she had laid bare her inner desire to him and now that she was alone she felt stupidly vulnerable and little bit like that for all her fight he had finally won a got what he had wanted along. Nausea washed over her as she realised that she was now a notch on Klaus bedpost one for him to brag about when he got home to New Orleans. That last though enraged her, even though she knew she had probably used him just as much, sleeping with the original hybrid would infuriate Tyler. She wondered if that was why she done it, to see the pain on Tyler's face but she knew in her heart that wasn't it, she'd done it for herself because she wanted to see what he tasted like, to feel his hands all over body. She looked back in the direction she come from, vamping back to the clearing she inhaled, his scent still lingered in the air, she closed her eyes as the fading sent flashed indecent images across her mind, and wondered why she come back this way. She looked around her the need to follow him was overwhelming, the ache in her gut was already crying out for more. Instinctively she had already whooshed twice trying to follow his scent before her brain finally screamed for her stop. Planting her feet firmly on the ground, breathing hard she realised the scent had stopped, stepping out on to the road she looked into the distance and knew that he had really gone, judging by the tyre treads by the side of the road this must had been where he and Rebecca had left their car. The black marks of burned rubber from where the car had sped away were a visible reminder of Klaus eagerness to get away from her as soon as possible. She looked in the direction she knew he'd gone, she could almost feel the miles between them growing, wiping her forehead she realised she was sweating, she looked down at her hands and notice the slight tremble as she tried by sheer will power to overcome the desire to follow him and just go home 'what the hell, was happening' breathing hard she turned as she heard a car approaching, flagging the vehicle down she flashed her best smile and compelled the driver to give her his car. In a few seconds Caroline Forbes had thrown all reason out the window and let her animal instinct take over and she speed away in the direction Klaus and Rebecca had gone.

...

Geez Klaus we already 200 miles away are you ever going to slow down, Klaus ignored her and pushed his foot down further on the peddle. Rebecca shook her head, despite the speed her brother was unusually jovial he'd even sung along to the radio for a while, she didn't like to ask what had happened when had caught up with Caroline but he had certainly put her brother in a good mood.

Klaus couldn't slow down, he needed to get back to New Orleans, and he needed to put distance between himself and Caroline. What he hadn't told his sister was that he had nearly turned the car round 10 times since they had left. His werewolf side was relishing that he could catch Caroline's scent on his clothes and it drove him to distraction. In his thousand years he had had many lovers but Caroline... he had never wanted a woman so badly, especially after he had already had her. For a split second when he had first got back to the car he had let is werewolf side win and vamped back to the clearing momentarily mad from the desire to chuck Caroline over his shoulder and take her with him consequences be dammed. A thousand years ago when he found out about his werewolf heritage unbeknownst to his family he had taken some time to find out everything about them. Mostly to look for weaknesses in his ancestry that could be brought upon him. The primary one had been the werewolves desire to choose a mate, because of this Klaus had always chosen his lovers very careful but then his werewolf had been dormant all that time. Now it was free and he couldn't deny that lately a lot of his actions had been the wolf not the vampire, Caroline had got under his skin, and the faster he drove the more he realised that their tryst in the woods had been a mistake, he let his guard down and he had a terrible feeling that the wolf had claimed her and they would mean trouble for both of them.

Caroline pulled into a motel on the outskirts of New Orleans; her initial resolve was fading to be replace with nervousness, how would Klaus react to her just turning up like this especially since it was only less than 24 hours since the woods. As she'd neared New Orleans the thought that she was catching up on him had somehow eased the hunger and she had time to think rationally 'Oh god I'm a stalker', she mused, she got out of the car and threw her hands up in exasperation 'and I'm wearing the same clothes' 'Caroline he is gonna think you are the biggest nut job' she chastised herself, this whole thing was crazy. Leaving the car behind she vamp sped into town, she needed a change of clothes, It didn't take her long to find a clothing store that was open, with a little compulsion she walked out in a new dress, shoes and jacket combo and a mental note to pop back and give them some money as soon as she was able to. The street was alive with people, Klaus had told her that she would love New Orleans but she never expected him to be right. Feeling safely inconspicuous in the throng of people she relaxed and enjoyed the opportunity to enjoy the city, she walked around town for hours and finally the darkness settled over this city, she became aware of a larger number of other supernaturals' out on the street. She was startled when a woman bumped into her, "I'm sorry dear, didn't see you there" Caroline smiled sweetly the young woman in front of her "that's ok; this city is so beautiful I'm afraid I wasn't looking either. The young girl smiled and Caroline felt herself caught for a moment by the young woman's eyes there was age there that seemed unnatural compared to the young face. The young woman apologise again quickly disappeared into the crowd. The idea struck her that all seemed a bit odd but she didn't have time to follow the trail of though as a familiar accents cuts through the night air behind her "hello love!"

Klaus was relieved to be home and after a day of attempting to rest trying to get Caroline out of his mind, Klaus finally gave up and stepped out on the balcony in frustration. He surveyed the sprawling city and familiar scent reached his nostrils, he had already showered so he knew it was no longer his clothes. The werewolf growled and Klaus leaped from the balcony as he went on the hunt

Esther entered her crypt and watched as Finn stood to greet her, "what's the matter?" he asked, Esther sat down "I've just seen Caroline Forbes". Finn looked surprised "what here in town?" he looked concerned, "do you suppose she is here because of Niklaus!" he stated In alarm, he scowled at his mother I told you we should have killed her when she turned up at the ball in mystique falls. Esther shook her head, "Miss Gilbert would never have helped us! And it was obvious to everyone at the time that Caroline despised your brother" Finn scoffed you should not have been so complacent mother that was after all how it started before. He started for the door "where did you see her, there is still time for me to kill her before..." Esther shook her head "I'm afraid the worst has already happened. " She had taken the trouble to scan the young vampire for recent memories so she could get a beat on why Caroline was here. "Caroline and Niklaus have already consummated their relationship, he will have found her by now and will have little opportunity to get her. "Then you should have killed her then and there mother"

Esther rose angrily, "I couldn't take the chance that Klaus wasn't already onto her scent." "Finn paced angrily "Mother, Klaus has already broken one curse... if he breaks another?!"

"That won't happen, the witch Ayanna heavily spelled my children, and none of them can ever remember Caroline! Let alone what Klaus begged Ayanna to do for her."

"I don't like it mother; I think we are courting defeat allowing her to live!"

Caroline turned to face Klaus, unwilling to show her nervous she looked him straight in the eye "Klaus" she managed just before she blushed and tore her eyes away from his.

Klaus tilted his head slightly and smiled, amused by her not so less than obvious nervousness

"Why so nervous love?" he leaned down, his lips brushing her ear as he whispered "You weren't so shy yesterday"

She blushed again and some of the Caroline fire he'd come to know returned to her eyes and she looked up at him again her angry washing away the shyness, she glared at him

"I..." she started "I...er" she closed her hers for a second exasperated "look Klaus!" she started again.

Klaus was momentarily surprised when a hand was laid firmly on his shoulder "Klaus! Buddy when did you get back" Caroline watched as young coloured man tried to engage Klaus in conversation, for which Klaus did his best to appear Jovial "Marcel! I only just got back, in fact I was just out looking for you!"

Marcel raised an eye brow "oh really" he glanced at the woman in front of Klaus, she looked about 17, he immediately disregarded her, assuming Klaus was doing a little bit of hunting.

He looked back at his buddy, and wrapped hand around his shoulder "I was gonna ask if you wanted to get a drink, but looking at this fine young lady I don't mind if you wanna get a bite beforehand. " He grinned and gave Klaus a knowing smile.

Caroline gasped internally 'oh my god he thinks Klaus is looking to feed of me' in a flash she shoved Marcel against the wall and grabbed him by the throat. Her eye blackened and she let her fangs protrude "I'm no one's meal" she snarled.

She let her face go back to normally at the sound of Klaus laughing. "I think you can let him down now love!" he chortled

As she dropped Marcel Klaus moved to stand in between them, just because Klaus found it funny didn't mean Marcel would.

"Marcel this is Caroline, I trust you won't underestimate her again"

Marcel threw a small scowl at Caroline as he rubbed his throat, Klaus threw his arms around both their shoulders, "Come now, let's all be friends, Caroline is new to the city! Let's go get a drink and see if we can convince her to stay!"

Marcel brushed Klaus's arm of his shoulder as they walked, "so what's got you in such a good mood, maybe you should visit mystic falls more often," He glanced sidelong at Klaus and Caroline, taking note that Klaus still had his arm draped around Caroline's shoulder and the she in turn had snaked her arm around Klaus waist as they had walked, He detected a slight blush creep across Caroline cheeks at his comment , he laughed and looked away from the pair "so Caroline where exactly are you visiting us from?"
Whilst Marcel had been speaking Caroline had dared to put her arm around Klaus, and when he hadn't pushed her away, she felt a wave of self-assured relief and confidence wash over her. She knew he was looking at her but she hadn't dared to catch his eye.

She looked at the floor for a second as they walked "Actually I'm from Mystic Falls!"

Marcel was about to make another comment when Klaus stopped and said "we're here" He removed his arm from Caroline shoulder and pulled away from her and she in turn dropped her own arm away from him, Marcel opened the door and she felt Klaus place the palm of his hand on the small of her back as he gestured towards the door with his other hand "Shall we" She nodded and walked into the bar followed by Klaus and Marcel. She headed over to the bar and the two men moved to stand either side of her, Marcel leaned both elbows on the bar and gestured for the barmaids attention, Klaus on the other hand and stood sidelong and rested his elbow on the Bar, he was staring at her and smirking, "Stop that!" she said trying to stare straight ahead and not look at him, "Stop what love"

She finally looked at him "you know what! Stop looking at me like you've won something!"

Klaus gave her one of his rare genuine smiles "I'm afraid I don't know what you mean, although I am pleased your here" She held his gaze as she turned to face him, unconsciously closing the gap between them, "yeah me to" she smiled and flutter her eyes, Klaus stopped smiling and stood up straighter, the gap between them now was mere inches and she was all too aware of his cologne and the fullness of his lips, Caroline suddenly wanted to kiss him, right there in the bar in front of everyone, suppressing the urge she tucked her hair behind her ear nervously and turned back to the bar, "what's taking so long with these drinks"

Marcel looked at the barmaid at the other end of the bar "yeah well! We are not exactly Cami's favourite people!" "Come on Cami you can't ignore us forever"

The barmaid stormed down to their end of the Bar "Well I might have been a bit more inclined to serve you if you hadn't been with him" she gesture at Klaus, who nodded at her "hello Cami, it's nice to see you"

"The feelings not mutual I can assure you" she turned her attention to Caroline and sighed "Honi I don't know what you doing here with these two but your clearly underage so I suggest you do yourself a favour and go home!" Cami glanced between marcel and Klaus, do this poor girl a favour and compel her to go home I'm sure there is a quarterback missing a cheerleader somewhere!"

Caroline felt Klaus place his hand firmly on the small of her back, she felt the wave of defensiveness flow off him, "Cami! You're out of line!"

Caroline put on her best miss mystic falls smile and held out her hand to Cami "Hi I'm Caroline Forbes, I appreciate the advice but believe me I can handle myself "

Cami winced as Caroline's' grip on hand tighten to almost bone breaking. Klaus cleared his throat "Caroline's a friend of mine from out of town"

Cami looked at him sceptically "you have a friend?"

Caroline beamed "Yeah me and Magellan apparently" she shot Klaus a side long glance and noted the amused smirk on his face at her inside joke.

Caroline smiled back at Cami, "but not every day he doesn't make it easy to be around him,"

Cami raised her eyebrows "What can I get you to drink?" she huffed

"Bourbon for these two and tequila for me!" Caroline downed the Tequila and gestured the glass for another,

"So judging by your distain for Klaus I'm guessing in the short time he has already manage to royally piss you off!"

She downed the tequila and asked for another, she eyed Cami carefully, the young woman was clearly close to Klaus's human age and had an exceptional beauty about her that somehow she knew Klaus would have been drawn to, trying hard not to feel jealous she downed the next tequila and asked for another.

"Easy there love, the evenings still young you know!"

Caroline smiled and necked another tequila, "but I'm having fun with the lovely Cami here, you know! Wondering what it is you could have done to make her hate you in such a short time"

"Careful sweet heart! Jealousy not a good look for you!"

Caroline opened her mouth to refute the comment , but Klaus gentle placed his hand on her elbow and began to gesture her towards a free table, "let's leave Cami be shall we" "Marcel why don't give us a minute and bring some more drinks over"

Marcel watched as Klaus guided Caroline to a free table and forced her down into a free seat, he looked back to Cami, "better gives a bottle of you best red,!" he glance back of his should and frowned and the intense conversation Klaus and Caroline seemed to be having.

It hadn't gone un-notice by Cami either "they seem pretty...involved"

"mmm " marcel mused, "look come join us for a drink, I like to know a lot more about her and I think she'll talk to you, also I don't fancy being piggy in the middle with those two"

He looked over at Klaus and Caroline and was surprised to see that they were currently making out in the booth, he took the tray of drinks from Cami and gave her his best sorrowfully look, "ok then she said"

000000

Klaus pushed Caroline down into the booth and slid in next her

"I'm not jealous" she stated

Klaus sat back resting his arm along the back to the circular booth, "whatever you say love, now why don't you tell me why your here, you did after all make me promise never to return!" "So imagine my surprise to find you hot on my heals only a day later," he paused and when Caroline didn't answer he continued "so let me guess, perhaps you need my blood, or maybe this is a new kind of long distance distraction, or what kind of trouble has the lovely Elena got herself into now!"

Caroline frowned "none of the above! I'm here because of what you did to me"

Klaus looked hurt "I'm offended love, I'm confident it was all on consensual and on your terms"

Caroline lowered her voice "no I mean what the hell voodoo, witchy thing have you done to me?" Klaus looked at her in surprise, "Me!" "I'm hurt love that you think I'd need to do that to you, you are responsible for you own actions sweetheart"

Caroline glared at him "Am I really, then tell me this Einstein, how come I've managed to keep you at bay for months, I give in one time and now if I'm away from you for longer than 5 minutes my whole body is on fire. My emotions are extreme! And tell me if I don't do this..." before Klaus knew if Caroline was kissing him deeply and longing it was a kiss he couldn't help but return, she pulled away breathless."... I feel like I'm going to die" she whispered breathlessly

Klaus slide his arm around her and pulled her to his side, he pressed his lips firm against hers breaking the kiss he pressed his forehead against hers, I was going to ask you the same question sweetheart"

Caroline blinked in surprise, the sound of someone clearing their throat and putting down a drinks tray pulled them out of their thoughts, Caroline shifted her weight so she was sitting comfortably next to Klaus, her mind reeling, was Klaus really having the same feelings of desire? If so what did that mean?

Marcel, closely follow by cami sat down at the other end of the booth,

Klaus nodded at Cami "Cami nice of you to join us," he poured her a glass and pushed it to her before pouring another for Caroline.

She pushed it back "no thank you, I don't drink with sociopaths"

"and yet here you are sitting at our table, no doubt because marcel gave you is best feel sorry for me look and maybe because you still hoping things might work out with him"

"You're a Jack ass you know that!" She picked up her glass of wine

"That's a matter of opinion, I like to think of myself as a loveable rouge"

"I can vouch for that, my old friend Klaus here has always been a terrible rouge, you know! the love and leave type" he looked pointedly at Caroline, and she felt like that last comment had been for her benefit, Klaus had moved into a more defensive position at marcels comment, Marcel knew he'd hit a nerve, he didn't know who this girl was to Klaus but she wasn't unimportant to him that's for sure.

"I bet back in mystic falls he was batting them women off with a stick,"

Caroline shook her head "Actually no, he was too busy with is diabolical plot to break his curse which on most days evolved trying to kill most of my friends and a least twice me! So no womaniser is not the word I would use."

"If he tried to kill you, why are you even friends with him" Cami asked,

"Because he also saved my life on both occasions, and I've played my part in the plots to kill him so I guess by now we are even." She reached down and gently placed her hand on Klaus leg under the table.

Klaus thoughtfully took a sip of his wine, marcel was clearly trying to push his buttons but the question was why, not for the first he mulled over the real implications to having Caroline around, she was not a weakness he wanted to bare to the world.

"So Niklaus Mikaelson the entire time you were in mystic falls there was no harem of women, now there was me thinking that you enjoyed have a one or two beauties at you beck and call" he glanced pointedly at Caroline, "or maybe just one"

Klaus's instincts went on to alert as he watch the Caroline lock her jaw in determination, Marcels motives became clear it was Caroline he was goading not Klaus.

"Marcel, I do believe you trying to upset my friend here, now if anyone was fighting off suitors in mystic falls it was Rebecca" he looked at Caroline "remind me love who was it now Damon, Stefan, matt the quarter back."

It was marcels turn to look uncomfortable "Damon Salvatore?"

"Yes! I didn't know you'd had the pleasure!"

"Yeah he was in town a few year back, fun for a while but mostly a dick!"

Caroline laughed "yeah that sounds like Damon"

Klaus smiled smugly "its Stefan she favoured anyway she was very fond of him the 20's as I recall. Madly in love as she put it before I daggered her."

"You daggered her again, how long for that time?"

"Oh she remained daggered until I returned to mystic falls two years ago,"

"Hold up, you've been in mystic falls for two years?"

I had some family business there that kept me in town for some time."

"So all business and no pleasure then"

"Oh I won't say that, I'm not a monk!"

Caroline scowled "when did? Hold on what?"

"Don't act so affronted love, as I recall you we're dating my first hybrid for quite some time. Do you really think that every time you turned me down I won't seek other company?"

"No, I just never considered it before" she let go of his hand under the table,

Klaus took a sharp intake of breath his annoyance becoming apparent.

"Who? Did I know any of them?"

Klaus knocked back his wine, "you realise I don't have to justify that question with an answer!"

Caroline gasped "I'll take that as a yes, oh my god did you and Katherine!"

"Katerina is not my type love, as you well know"

"But seeing as you seem instant on prying in my business perhaps I should give you a hand with yours!"

He pulled out his phone, "now what was Tyler Lockwood's number, I sure he'd be very interested to know where you are and what you've done!"

"You wouldn't!" she made a grab for the phone, which he playfully pulled out of her reach. "Klaus! Seriously Cami's right you are a Jack ass!"

Cami smiled "so Klaus, how's Hayley doing I haven't had a change to swing by and see her!" She finished her wine and stood, "good luck explaining that one"

Caroline looked at Klaus "what did she mean?"

Klaus sighed "look there's something we should talk about... alone?"

"Oh don't beat around the bush Klaus, Caroline should know what she getting into before she's stupid enough to go home with you"

"cami, that's enough" marcel said

Caroline stood up "Cami? What's going on?"

Klaus stood and stepped out from the table to stand in front of Cami menacingly, daring her to say another word. Grabbing her by the elbow he vamped them both into the back room.

Caroline looked at marcel "tell me!"

Klaus's barbs about becca had stung. "Klaus is keeping a pregnant werewolf at his plantation, rumour is the babies his"

"what," Caroline said very slowly, marcel shifted uncomfortable, as Caroline's vampire veins appeared around her eyes and her eyes went black, she grabbed him by the shirt and lifted him up "where can I find her?" for a splint second he thought a glint of wolf in her eyes but in second it was gone, "just outside of town, big plantation, you know it's a full moon so there will be a lot of werewolves so I'd skip it if I was you!"

Caroline let him go and vamped away the sped away, the glass in the door smashed as it slammed behind her.

A second later Klaus had him by the throat "what did you tell her!"

"Well I figured some payback was in order"

Klaus squeezed harder,

I told her where to find Hayley, and the rumour you oh so proudly started!"

Klaus dropped marcel "you have no idea what you've done," he grabbed him by the shoulder marcel could feel the anger coming off him waves, "you're coming with me and if those two girls have hurt each other in any way, I'll make you pay!" he whooshed them both to the plantation as fast as he could, hoping that Caroline wouldn't find her way as quickly. He was fuming with Marcel and Cami, they had no idea what they'd done, yes he was protecting a pregnant werewolf but it wasn't his baby, it was a truth that would hurt Caroline and he couldn't have that.
