My Dear Sweet Caroline

Authors Note

This story is off of the idea from the new series "The Originals." I like the idea of Klaus meeting Marcel when he was a child, but I am putting a twist on it. Instead of meeting a young Marcel, he meets a young Caroline. The story will follow the plot in the beginning, but break off relatively quick. You don't need to have watched the break-off series of TVD, to follow along. I own NOTHING! (Set in 1800's before Klaus Rebekah and Elijah must flee, running from their father. Kol and Fin are daggered.)

Chapter 1: Origin of the Name

Rebekah walked into the room, followed closely by the Governor's son. With a pleading look on her face she walks up to Elijah and says,

"Are we interrupting?"

Klaus replies with blood still on his face from the poor girl who had died only seconds ago,

"Yes." Elijah follows his remark up with a solid

"No."

"Dearest Elijah, you have only wished for happiness for me. Amele and I are in love, please let me turn him."

Klaus chuckled while the eldest brother said,

"Rebekah, the governor has graciously agreed to hide a lot of our…indiscretions. It would not do to turn his only son into one of us."

"Please for me." Rebekah begged. She finally had found a moment of peace, and wanted it to last forever.

"It is not going to happen, sister. If we turned every man you dropped you knickers for, than human beings would cease to exist, and we would have no bloody food." Klaus chimed in.

Amele replied for Rebekah, "How dare you sir! You would do well to…Agh.!" He was cut off abruptly by Klaus's hand grasped around his throat. Klaus began pushing him towards the railing of the multiple floored stairs, ignoring the pleas of his siblings. Klaus continued to throw him right over the railing; he landed with a loud thud.

Elijah gave Klaus a dirty look and held Rebekah as she sobbed. Her one chance at happiness destroyed while Klaus walked away without so much as an apology. Even years later still claiming he wasn't good enough for her.

A few days later the Original siblings were following behind the horse, and cart wearing all black, walking towards the Governor's son's funeral. Not his only child though, it turns out he had a child with a women he owned. They were walking past a field, when they heard cries of pain erupt. The other men simply bowed their heads and walked by but Klaus paused a minute to watch. A girl with long blonde locks was being whipped, for what looked like stealing an apple. Klaus was about to walk away, feeling board but then the little girl surprised him. She picked up the apple and chucked it at her tormenter. Klaus immediately stormed over to them, throwing a pebble into the skull of the abuser and kneeled down to the little girl.

"What is your name, little girl?"

"Don't have one, mama wouldn't name me 'till I was ten, in case the fever got me, got her instead." Replied the apparently nameless girl.

"You're a survivor, and survivors need names. How about Caroline? It is of German origin, and means freeman. You have just earned you freedom from which the torture you grew up in and I think it is fitting."

He stood up, and offered her his hand. She looked back; expecting to be pulled out of the mysterious man's gaze, but found he was serious. She grinned at him with thankfulness, and her grinned right back. Rebekah and Elijah, gazed in wonder as they realized, Klaus may be redeemable after all.

Authors 2nd note

Kay sorry to make you read more Authors blah, blah, blah but I want to say I won't update until I get at least 5 reviews, that way I know people actually like the story. The other chapters will be MUCH longer. I update pretty quickly, usually every weekend, but sometimes; depending on the chapter; every two weeks. From now on the story will probably go in a different direction then on the actual TV show. So yeah review with ideas comments questions or whatever! Plus more reviews I get the faster I upload One more thing I am currently calling this story "My dear sweet Caroline" But I don't like it. Review with names you can think of, because I am stumped. Thank you so much! xoxoxo
