A/N Hey all, this is my first story for this fandom! Although I've been a fan of The Vampire Diaries since it first started. I have quickly became obsessed with The Originals! After seeing so many Klaroline stories out there I decided to have a go. So please read and I hope it is too your liking.

Disclaimer- I have nothing to do with The Vampire Diaries or The Originals except what my imagination stirs up!

CarolinePOV

I shot up in the bed breathless, I took a quick glimpse around the room looking for Elena even though I knew she wasn't there, she had left to go back to mystic falls to sort out some Damon/Jeremy problem. I had been dreaming of Klaus again, not my usual travelling around the world with him and having the time of my life kind of dreams, no these ones are of him in some damp dark place being starved, beaten and tortured. His anguished screams filled my ears. They were graphic and realistic, each night for the past 6 nights it has been the same dream over and over.

"No, no, no this cannot be happening"

It was 4am but I didn't care I needed Elena, she had been having the same dreams about Stefan all summer which turned out to be real as Silas has stuffed him in a safe and threw him into the bottom of a quarry, leaving him to drown over and over for three months.

"Care you ok? Its 4am"

"I know Elena I am so sorry but I ...I know this is going to sound crazy but I've been dreaming about Klaus"

She sighed

"This couldn't wait until morning?"

"No Elena, these are like your Stefan dreams"

"Ooooh ..."

"Exactly"

She chuckled before she spoke again

"I can't believe I am asking this but have you by any chance tried to get in touch with him?"

I hung my head beginning to feel slightly guilty about not trying to contact him after the first few dreams; it was the thought of bringing him back into my life that prevented me from contacting him. After explaining this to her she replied

"Care its completely up to you, if you want to keep him out of your life try and ignore the dreams, if you can't do that then drop him a text and take it from there"

After apologising for the late call I hung up and lay back down on my side, trying to figure out what to do. Eventually I managed to drift off into a dreamless sleep. I woke up at 7am and stared at my phone willing it to tell me what to do. Send him a message and he replies indicating that everything is fine and have him back in my life, or he doesn't reply meaning something is wrong, what do I do then?

He tried to kill the people I love, succeeded in killing some of them, Jenna and Tyler's mom. Granted he did save me from werewolf venom twice, but that doesn't really count seeing as he is the one that was behind both bites. He showed up for my graduation saving me from the witches and saving Damon with his blood. We finally got rid of him and now this happens.

Knowing that if something was wrong and I did nothing I would be wrecked with guilt I took my phone and sent him a message

"I haven't heard of any crazy British guy planning world domination, I was wondering if someone had finally managed to kill you?"

I didn't want him knowing I was actually worried so I gave him my sassiness that he loved so much. I left the phone down and went about my morning routine. I got ready for class and not wanting to see if he had replied fearing the decision I may have to make I threw my phone in my bag and went to class. Seeing as I was there 10 minutes early I decided that is was better to get this over and done with as soon as possible and checked for a reply, I don't know what I was expecting to see but when I seen that there was no new messages my heart sunk a little, he hadn't replied was that a good thing or bad? I rang Elena to tell her I had sent him a message as she advised and that he had yet to reply,

"Care Klaus is obsessed with you, there would have to be an exceptional reason for him not to reply straight away"

She told me to keep her updated, although I don't know why. She hated Klaus more than I did but I guess some of that hate disappeared when he saved Damon. I told her. The rest of the day went by painfully slow, I kept myself busy by doing assignments and catching up with Elena about what was happening in mystic falls, apparently Silas was back only he had taken Stefan's appearance, they still hadn't found the real Stefan and Elena admitted that she feared he turned off his humanity and was off being his ripper alter ego. I offered to return but Elena said there was nothing I could do, that I should stay here and do the whole normal as can be teenage vampire in college thing. After hearing that Jeremy had been suspended from school for three days and that matt had returned from his eventful summer with Rebekah we said goodnight and ended the call.

I went to bed and sent Tyler a text, he had told me that he had found a pack on his travels and was helping them sort out some problems in their area, that he felt needed and wasn't coming back to attend college with me, it hurt but I understood, it was in his nature to help his own kind. I told him I loved him and for him to call me when he could, after that I closed my eyes praying that I would have a good night's sleep with no Klaus dreams.

I could hear his screams, smell his blood and see the tears in his eyes. I stood there unable to go to him to help, I seen the shackles cut into his wrists.

"Klaus I'm sorry"

I found myself saying even though it wasn't my fault, I wished right then that I could help end his pain, no matter what he has done in the past no-one deserves this. He may be the big bad hybrid but sometimes he could be human, no-one knew that better than me. I saw him when he was struggling with his emotions after Kol was killed then when he massacred his hybrids, that night when I told him I knew he loved me and he thought I was dead before he finally gave up his stubbornness and fed me his blood, those rare moments is the only thing that is preventing me from turning my back on him and leaving him to suffer.

There was no-one in the room with us but he was still writhing in pain. His lips where moving as if he was shouting at someone but I couldn't hear his words, which confused me why couldn't I hear what he, was saying but I could hear his screams of pain and his panting breath? I woke up startled and confused the screams still in my ears.

My emotions concerning Klaus are confusing and unclear, but all I know is that I owe him my life. With that in mind I began to pack a bag with clothes and any other essentials I may need for my spur of the moment trip, he saved my life, now I would save his, making us even and I could finally get him out of my life for good.

I sent an email to all my lecturers telling them that I had to leave due to a family emergency saying that if they sent me any assignments due I would complete them and return them. My mind was erratic trying to figure everything out, trying to rationalise my actions telling myself I was doing this to pay my debt and that is it.

I came back to my senses as I was stepping out of the airport, considering turning around and getting back on a plane home, but the gut feeling from my dreams remained in my stomach. I had no idea where I was going to start looking; brief memories of him telling me about the French quarter came to mind so I got a cab and gave the driver my destination, the feeling in my stomach intensified.

Arriving at the French quarter I still had no idea what I was going to do, I took out my phone and went through my contact list, my finger hovering above Elijah's name, knowing he was the only one apart from Klaus that would accept my call I pressed down and put the phone to my ear hearing it ring

"Caroline, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Elijah, I'm ringing about Klaus"

"What diabolical scheme is my brother working on now?"

He asked taking on a tone of disapproval

"Actually, I haven't seen or heard from him in a while, which is unusual because he is always trying to persuade me to run off into the sunset with him, but I have a terrible feeling that something bad has happened to him"

I was met with silence

"May I ask from what information you have reached this assumption?"

I sighed not knowing how to answer

"Do you mind meeting with me? I don't think this is a conversation to be discussed over the phone"

I could hear the smile in his voice

"Caroline, I had quite hoped my family and I were finished with Mystic Falls"

Queue the awkward silence

"Actually, Elijah I'm here in the French quarter"

His voice once again became serious

"Caroline, I will come to you straight away but until I get there I must beg of you to remain out in the open and in a crowd"

The blood chilled in my veins and shivers wrecked my spine,

"What's going on? What have I walked into?"

"I will explain everything when I arrive, for the meantime please do as I ask. Where are you?"

I looked around my surroundings

"I'm standing outside some sort of witchy voodoo store"

"Very well, remain there I shall be with you momentarily"

With that he hung up, I was on high alert, constantly looking around me to see if I could see any immediate danger, anything to indicate why Elijah was so worried. Feeling slightly paranoid I gave another quick glimpse around me before taking a few deep breaths to calm me down. Elijah, noticing that I was on high alert called my name before he approached me; he placed his hand lightly on my shoulder as he subtly checked our surroundings.

"I do wish you would have notified me of your travel plans Caroline, this is no place for such a young vampire like yourself"

I had my eyes glued to him trying to read his expression which was pointless, out of all the originals Elijah was the most moral, calm and collected.

"I'm sorry; I just had to get here"

He quickly finished his search for danger and looked down at me, a small smile on his lips.

"I must admit Caroline; you are the last person I ever expected to go out of their way to help my brother. Surely you have not forgotten all that Niklaus has done to your friends"

It's true, I never thought I would be jumping on a plane to save his ass after having dreams he was in pain, never thought I would actually care or worry enough to even think about it. Once again I reasoned with myself, this is the only way to get him completely out of my life.

"Yes he has done terrible things, but I am not exactly innocent either. I have been a part of all the plans to kill him since he came to mystic falls; I knew the plan to kill Kol. I have damaged your family just as much as he has damaged mine"

Elijah nodded, accepting my answer. He had started to lead us away from the crowd as we spoke, all the while keeping a close eye on what was going on around us.

"Elijah, do you know where Klaus is?"

"I thought he was off on one off his little excursions, I received a text message from him no less than a week ago and had no other reason to suspect anything else until receiving your phone call"

My gut feeling returned and I felt the need to be sick. I was about to tell him about the dreams, had only managed to say a few words before,

"I'm sorry for interrupting, but perhaps we should continue this in private?"

As he spoke he raised his hand towards a beautiful white mansion, with a garden in full bloom surrounding it. Once Elijah was inside he whisked away and returned with two glasses, one with scotch for himself and blood for me.

"I'm sure after your flight you are thirsty?"

I nodded gratefully accepting the glass, looking over I noticed the half empty blood bag sitting on the table with various other liquids and glasses, following my line of sight he spoke

"For some reason my brother has felt the need to keep a fridge fully stocked with blood bags, I assume he was hoping you would grace him with your presence"

Had he been waiting on me all summer? Did he really care for me that much? Believing that even though he had allowed Tyler to return that I would eventually come knocking on his door? How had he fallen for me in such a way, I was nothing but spiteful and hateful towards him, never hiding the fact I wanted him gone.

"I can tell that you are worried about Niklaus can you tell me how it is that you think something is wrong with him?"

After taking a few welcomed sips of my blood I felt a little more relaxed and began to speak

"I've been having dreams, the same dream every night for the past 6 nights. They are more realistic than a dream, I can hear him scream as if he is in the room with me, and I can smell the dampness of where he is being held. Elijah they have to be real, Elena had dreams like this all summer about Stefan, and it turned out that he was in a safe at the bottom of a quarry drowning over and over for three months, for some reason he is reaching out to me and I don't know why ..."

I drifted off into silence hearing his screams in my mind. Elijah had remained silent until I finished

"Caroline, you may not want to hear this but this is quite common between vampires that have shared blood, their life essence so to speak. I am quite certain that Niklaus is not intentionally reaching out to you, you have fed from his vein twice, am I correct?"

Confused, I nodded

"And he too has tasted your blood when he bit you infecting you with the werewolf venom for the second time?"

Again I nodded, not fully understanding what exactly he was saying

"Have you heard of blood sharing?"

My eyes widened in shock, blood sharing was so imitate and personal to vampires, Stefan had told me about it when he was putting me through 'baby vamp boot camp' he also said that it normally only happened between two vampires that where in love, at the time I remember thinking that it was in a weird and creepy way romantic, to be that connected to someone letting them in where you were so vulnerable.

"Stefan told me about it once, he said it was a personal thing between two vampires, but Klaus and I are not like that"

He nodded

"I know you do not share an intimate relationship, but you both drank from each other meaning you share a connection no matter how impersonal it is"

My head began to spin, refusing to accept what I was being told. How could this be? Out of all the vampires I know I have to be connected to him? Did he know we would be connected, was this his sick way of trying to win me over? Seeing how I was working myself into a rage Elijah spoke

"Whatever it is that you are thinking Caroline please listen to this, Niklaus would never willingly blood share, he knows what will happen, he does not take it lightly. He knows it can make him vulnerable and it is not something he would do if he did not think was vital, it's not something he would willingly let himself fall victim to, such a connection with someone is the opposite of everything he believes in"

Why me? Why had he chosen me to have this creepy obsession with, why not Bonnie or Elena? All the boys want Elena! Trying to understand all this I began to question, does he know how this connection has affected me? Is he having these dreams about me?

"Caroline, there is a lot of catching up to do. Things here are complicated; if your dreams are real and Niklaus is in fact in danger then together we must find him and help him"

I chuckled

"You mean find him and save his ass!"

He smiled, I know he chose help over save because Klaus would never admit that he needed saving.

"Tell me, how clear are these dreams?"

"They are extremely clear, I hear everything perfectly, see him as if looking through my own eyes, I can smell his blood and even his tears"

I had closed my eyes, the images resting behind my eye lids

"Can you tell where he is?"

"There is a dim light, not from a window, a lamp maybe? The walls and floor is made from old stone covered in moss and grime. His wrists are shackled and hanging from the ceiling and his feet chained to the wall, he's just hanging there..."

It was disturbing having to relive this all for Elijah; I could feel myself tearing up, why? I have no idea. To see a man who I thought to be indestructible and the biggest of big bads, look so weak and defenceless was slightly satisfying but also heart-breaking; his head was hung in shame his ego and pride taking the worst beating of all.

"...I can hear music in the background and the chatter from crowds of people. I never see anyone in the room with him; he's always alone and in pain"

I opened my eyes to see Elijah staring at me, his eyes confused and his mind desperately trying to make sense of it all.

"From what you are describing I assume he is being held in a cellar. The music and people indicate that he could still be here in the quarter, and if so that means this is the work of Marcel"

He said grimly as he got himself another drink.

"Who's Marcel?"

A/N Hope I done the stubborn pair some justice. I have the next three chapters written and I will upload them pretty soon depending on how much of a reaction this story gets! Also forgive me if there are any spelling mistakes, I started this story late last night and I'm running on no sleep and loads of coffee…when I have an idea I need to write simple as that.

All comments positive or negative are appreciated … and trust me they really do make a difference to a writer!

Thanks
