Her love is his Salvation
Caroline couldn't concentrate. She was trying to focus on reading this book for her class but her mind kept wondering to how messed up her life was becoming. Caroline wasn't the type to focus on grief, sadness, or loss to long. She accepted what happened and tried to get something good from it. So why was she so depressed?
She gave up on trying to read her book and settled to take a walk. Enjoy nature while she could, winter was on its way. She cut through the normal paths for the students and settled for the woods. She needed the fresh air to try and clear her foggy head.
College was supposed to be a fun time for them all, and Caroline actually thought it was beginning to, especially after they got Bonnie back. They didn't have the originals to worry about anymore, Katherine was human and all she did now was cause headaches, Silas was dead, the veil to the other side was up, Stephen was back and not the ripper, and Bonnie was alive. So what was her problem? Other than the fact that Tyler left her and Elena killed Jesse, everything was good. But was it?
She stopped when she heard a noise behind her, but continued when she didn't hear it again. She stopped and turned around when she heard it a third time, scanning the trees for any signs of someone following her. Not seeing anything she turned around and froze, recognizing the werewolf in front of her.
"Haley?"
"So Klaus got the wolf knocked up, good for him, looks like he's going to be a daddy. Hope he invites me to the baby shower. Why does any of this concern us though?" Damon asked.
"It doesn't, but I need your help," Haley said.
"Last time we tried to help you, you snapped my neck and betrayed us so Klaus would kill 12 hybrids for you. Give is one reason why we should," Caroline snapped.
"Because if you don't Klaus will die," Haley said, "and I have a feeling that's the last thing you want, Caroline."
"What happens to Klaus is none of my concern. Besides, he can take care of himself, "Caroline said dismissingly, despite the dropping feeling in her stomach at the thought of something happing to Klaus.
"If Klaus dies Caroline, all of you die, remember? Maybe Caroline doesn't care but what about the rest of you?" Haley challenged, eyeing down everyone in the room.
"No offence woflie, but why do you need our help? He has two other Original siblings to help keep him alive," Damon said.
"His siblings can't help. Give ten minutes to explain and you'll understand," Haley said.
"We're listening," Stefan said.
"A group of witches conspiring against him is what made him come to New Orleans in the first place, well those witches now figured out a way to kill him. They performed a spell that grew a white oak tree, but because it wasn't a natural one, they can't make stakes into them, it won't work. So they used the roots and melted it down into this liquid that can be digested and kill any original. The problem of this is, that the liquid can't be destroyed, the only way to destroy it is for it to be digested by a vampire from Klaus's blood line," Haley explained.
"Wouldn't that kill one of us though?" Elena asked.
"That's where the loop hole comes in. If it's digested by a vampire that is in love with Klaus, the liquid is destroyed with no one getting hurt," Haley said.
All eyes went to Caroline, who paled, realizing what everyone meant. She had a choice, let Klaus die and all of her friends, including herself die with him, or admit that she was in love with him and save him.
"Shit, was all she could manage.
