This story starts in 4x14 down the rabbit hole. I don't own the canon, nor the characters, I just like to play with Klaroline and canon stuff in the way I see them :]


Caroline was sitting on the porch swing at Elena's house. Arms crossed, contemplating her feelings because she'd just had to say goodbye to Tyler again. She wasn't sure why she felt so numb, she wasn't sure if she was really sad or just exhausted.

The noise of the front door opening startled her and Klaus walked out, shocking her to her feet defensively.

"How did you get out?!" She exasperated.

"I fear something awful has befallen your friend Bonnie." He says quietly and almost somberly as if he had been worried for the witch's well being.

He was walking towards her now and Caroline's heart started beating rapidly. A lot had happened between the two of them these last few days. She tensed up, almost reliving the pain of his venomous fangs on her neck, he noticed and slowed his steps before her.

"Don't worry, love. You know I'd never hurt you."

"You've done enough." She scoffed, crossing her arms again in defiance. How could he say that he'd never hurt her. He just bit her and let her get seriously close to dying last night! Plus he literally just threatened Tyler out of town, even after she was trying to bury the hatchet and asked nicely, all because he's an absolute murderous jerk.

"I've done more than enough. I've shown kindness, forgiveness, pity… because of you, Caroline." Klaus's eyes were watery but angry and Caroline blinked back trying to shake the uneasy feelings in her stomach.

Could she actually believe he was attempting at being a better person because of her? It was so far fetched, but his tone, his expression, some of his actions recently, something was culminating in the fact that Klaus was changing or trying and she did sort of believe him.

"It was all for you." He whispered to her.

Their eyes met for a moment, a spark was there, they both felt it and then, not a second later, Klaus was grabbing his head, falling to his knees with a growl of pain.

Caroline's eyes went wide and she spun around quick, glaring out into the darkness. What the hell was happening?!

She didn't hear, sense or see anyone. There was no witch around causing him this pain and she didn't feel any danger to herself. His body fell forward and the noise of his dead weight hit the porch floor.

She hadn't thought twice before kneeling towards him and putting her hand on his shoulder, in a soothing motion she couldn't help herself, trying to figure out what was going on.

His face was scrunched up and fierce yellow eyes met hers from the side before a surge of pain ran through him and they rolled back, drooping closed. Caroline's breath caught in her throat as his body went totally limp next to her.

Her hands were shaking over his shoulders. She was worried, worried for the Original Hybrid who couldn't be killed? She let out a shuddered breath, she needed a plan and closed her eyes for a moment.


Ah yes, I know, teaser shorty chapter, more tomorrow! Please stick with me!
