You Saved Her

"Well where is she, Damon? We can't just leave her! This is Caroline!" Elena started to pace, biting her nails. Damon face was filled with concern, although he and Caroline had difficulties in the past they were quite good friends…

"Calm down Elena. We'll find Blondie I promise you." He hoped she was alright.

Elena suddenly looked up at Damon with a look of terror on her face "What if Klaus has done something to her?" This caught Damon's attention, thinking it was a definite possibility, he was evil after all.

"Well I'd say an interrogation is order. Damon smirked.

"Okay, let's go." Elena said already halfway out the door. But with his vampire speed Damon blocked her. "Oh. No. This is Klaus. You're not going anywhere." Damon stared her down. "But –"

"No. Elena."

Klaus heard knock at the door. He was hoping it to be Caroline but to his disappointment it was Damon. "Damon to what do I owe the pleasure?"Klaus said sarcastically giving him a hard look. "Cut the crap, Klaus. Where is she?" Damon just gave him a look to say all business, no chit chat.

A flicker of genuine confusion and concern came across his face. "What do you mean where is she? What have you done?" he yelled. Damon scoffed at him. "Me? You're the evil hybrid here!"

Klaus couldn't hold in his rage. Caroline was somewhere hurt maybe dying. "If anything has happened to her, I will kill you." Klaus growled bearing his fangs. Damon stood his ground. Surely this was an act of Klaus'. Before he could say anything Klaus had sped out the door.

Despite trying to control his anguish, Klaus was frantic. Don't worry my love. I'm coming. I'm coming. He had to be close. Then he heard someone scream. Caroline's scream. Running towards the sight now in front of him yelling "Caroline!" who was lying limply on the ground riddled with wooden bullets covered in dirt and blood. She was barely conscious "Nik, You came" Caroline choked, tears streaming down her face. Klaus breathed a sigh of relieve, wiped her tears away, cradling her to his chest. "Shhh" He whispered. "You're safe now love. I've got you." Caroline felt safe and secure now that Klaus was here. He picked Caroline up bridal style and ran her back to her room, wanting her to rest.

Everyone was there, Elena, Matt and Bonnie who were being told Klaus' unusual behaviour by Damon. "But that doesn't make any sense" Bonnie exclaimed. "Why would Klaus say that?" Damon shrugged.

Klaus walked in still holding Caroline tightly to his chest. "..Because I love her" while gently putting Caroline on the bed and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"Caroline! Are you okay?" everyone rushed over to her. "I'm fine" she smiled weakly. Klaus looked down at her. "Rest now love." He told her sternly.

Everyone just stared at him, shocked. "You- you saved her. You really love her?" Elena said.

Klaus smirked at her "Come now love, I'm not all bad. But don't think I'll be hanging out with all you at the grill.."
