Chicago 1920's

Caroline Forbes was the only daughter of Detective William Forbes and his wife Elizabeth Forbes, Once she became a teenager around the age of fifteen she was told she was to marry Mayor Robert Lockwood and Sheila Lockwood's Son Thomas. Caroline was a free spirit with no intentions of marrying to please her parent's, She would allow Thomas to court her but the moment he asked for her hand in marriage she'd refuse him.

Caroline was getting ready for a night out with her friend's Gloria's was one of the most popular places to be it was elegant yet had a class of it's own, Caroline and her best friends Florence 'Flo' as she'd called her since they where children and Annie both girls where raised by their gran Margret Hyde.

Caroline slipped into her blue dress as it clung to her body she gently pulled the bottom so it looked a little longer warily hoping her parent's wouldn't notice. She had her hair in loose curls and minimal make up but her lips where a deep red to make them stand out.

She slipped on her shoes and grabbed her purse from her bed trying to creep down the stairs but as she began to open the door her father opened the living room door and cleared his throat "Where do you think your going?" He asked with his arms folded against his chest, Caroline smiled sweetly "Flo, Annie and I have been invited to a party for an old school friend. She's expecting us" Bill watched his daughters glowing eyes as she smiled brightly wanting so badly to bloke her from the horrors of the Chicago nightlife, Of late there was a monster roaming their town. The Ripper he'd been named by the press and by the prescient, Bill had found a fair few victims himself all with puncture wounds in their wrists or necks, sometimes he'd even find them torn limb from limb.

He saw her hopeful face and knew he'd have to give in because if he didn't she'd pout and would refuse to speak to him, He was a soft touch when it came to his precious daughter. "Can I go please Daddy?" She asked sweetly practically begging him to give her a chance "Yes you can go but be careful, If anything happens if you have any trouble you contact the prescient. Roger is working tonight get him to give you a ride home" Caroline's smile grew as she threw her arms around her father "Thank you daddy" she said before kissing his cheek. She opened the door and ran outside to meet Flo and Annie who were sitting in Annie's car waiting.

The club was full of people swaying to the music as Gloria's voice filled the room, Caroline, Flo and Annie walked towards the bar to order their drinks when a handsome man medium build with a cute smile spoke up "I'll get these Ladies" Caroline was about to protest but Flo held her hand up to hush her "We'll have a bottle of champagne" He called to the bartender. Caroline stared at him dumbfounded "Really we can buy our own drinks" He smiled at her before turning to the bartender "Send it over to our table with four glasses" the bartender nodded as he began to place the champagne on a tray, The strange man held his hand out to Flo who eagerly took it and pulled her toward the tables at the back of the room.

They noticed the table already had glasses with champagne already set on the table but her stood there for them to take a seat but Caroline stood with her arms crossed against her chest "I'm not sitting down with a strange man who hasn't even had the decency to tell me his name" He chuckled lightly holding his hand out "I am Stefan and who might you be?" Caroline placed her hand in his as he lifted it towards his lips only making eye contact with her "I am Caroline" "It's a pleasure to meet you Caroline" she took a seat inside the booth with her friends before Stefan took a seat beside Flo. Once they were seated a waiter walked towards them placing the champagne and flute glasses on the table, Caroline smiled politely as Stefan opened the bottle and poured the liquid into each glass.

Caroline noted the glasses and empty bottle already on the table "You already have company?" She pointed towards the glasses, Stefan pointed towards the dance floor "The man in the white jacket dancing with the girl in the white dress, They are also seated here" Caroline looked at him dancing beautifully holding the blond beauty close but not close enough for it to be intimate "His relative? A sister maybe?" She tore her eyes away from them looking at Stefan as she raised her glass to her lips taking a mouthful of the cool liquid and letting it refresh her throat. "How could you tell it was his sister?" Annie grinned "Caroline is very perceptive, she get it from her Daddy. He's a police detective. The best in the city" Caroline frowned "Thanks Annie, He had no need to know about my Father" Stefan watched her curiously as she took another mouthful of her champagne before placing it on the table.

The conversation between the four of them continued to flow as she watched Stefan whisper in Flo's ear, She watched as he kissed her neck and gently touched her hand, Caroline didn't want to invade but something felt strange about him. She was brought out of her trance when a body sat beside her and filled one of the used glasses with champagne, "Stefan, Rebekah is waiting for that dance you promised her when you got back" The person beside her said looking across the table. "Please excuse me Ladies" Stefan said as he rose from the table and walked towards the women in white Rebekah she guessed.

"Hello Ladies" he spoke as he grabbed the hand of a female that walked past "Klaus, So nice to see you again" she smiled at him as he kissed her hand. Caroline felt frustrated, she just wanted a drink and a dance and spend time with her friends not to be palmed off by each of these men. "It's lovely to meet you and Stefan but really we came here to dance, drink a little and have fun" She turned to look at him. "So if you don't mind please excuse us" she said as she looked at her friends edging them to move "Why don't you go get yourself a drink love" he said handing her some money as he stood up reaching out for her hand "I don't need your money sir and I am not your love" Flo and Annie winced at Caroline's mouth she could be so self-righteous when she wanted to be "Caroline, do you have to?" Flo said reaching out to grab her hand, Caroline turned to her friends glaring at them "Well, I am going to the rest room are you coming?" Annie stood to get up but Klaus raised his hand "It's ok Ladies I won't bite, I'm sure they will be fine here" He grinned at Caroline, she became frustrated and huffed as she walked towards the rest room.

Klaus sat beside Flo looking at both her and Annie as he compelled them "You will not scream, You will sit quietly then when I am finished you will leave" They both nodded Klaus lifted Flo's wrist to his mouth and sunk his fangs into it drinking her warm blood, letting it sooth the painful thirst once he was finished he ripped his own wrist and fed her some of his own blood, Looking at them both he spoke "You can both leave, You won't remember what just happened you will tell Caroline you had a call and needed to leave Goodnight Ladies" With that he stood up to let the women make their exit from the club.

Caroline returned to the table to see both Flo and Annie had disappeared "Where are my friends?" She asked as she stood in front of Klaus, He smirked at her as he stood up "They had a phone call, Said it was important. Care to dance Love" He reached out his hand, She placed her purse on the chair and let out a sigh as she placed her hand inside his hand letting him lead her to the dance floor.

They swayed to the music as it slowed down, Klaus had on hand around her waist gently on her back as the other held her own hand, He other hand rested on his shoulder trying not to get to close, She didn't want people to think that she was a local tart. She returned Klaus's gaze as he watched her intently something about his stare made her feel beautiful yet uneasy, She felt he was hiding something. The song ended and another began to play but Caroline pulled away "I have to go" she said as she turned away. Klaus watched her as she began to walk but realised he couldn't let her go not on her own.

"Let me walk you" He replied as he caught up with her, Caroline kept walking until she reached their table "I'm quite capable of walking myself thank you" she said looking at him. Klaus looked into her eyes as he compelled her "You will let me walk you home" he let the connection go but she laughed lightly "I don't need an escort. If I have a problem I'll call one of my father's colleagues" vervain? He thought as he let her go. Klaus turned to see his sister and Stefan both walk towards him, Stefan kept looking at the door edging to get out and feed, to hunt. Klaus noticed this and looked at him "You will forget we ever met. You will leave any women with the name Caroline alone. If you dare drink from her veins I will rip your heart out" with that Klaus grabbed Rebekah's arm and ran from the club before anybody could see.

Rebekah raged at him "Nik, Why did you do that. I loved him" Klaus looked at his sister and felt nothing but pity for her. "You are my sister Rebekah, You will stay loyal to me" He growled angrily in her face. She didn't see it coming until she felt it pierce her chest, she fell towards him as her skin began to turn grey "I'm sorry Sweet Sister. I hope you understand" Gloria opened the back door letting Klaus bring Rebekah's desiccated body inside. The walked down to the cellar and stood beside the open empty coffin as Klaus placed Rebekah inside gently moving a piece of her hair from her eyes. Gloria began to chant as the coffin disappeared "Thank you once again Gloria" She merely nodded as he turned to walk away "She is special that girl Klaus, Be careful with her" The girl who could reject his compulsion. Caroline.
