AN: So this is an un-connected oneshot to The Mistaken Angel of Death that I came up with after reading a lovely prompt by Insecurefreakoncrack (tumblr)... I really liked it and it got my brain working... Sort of... Sorry if it's not the best but it's currently 4 in the morning and I am surviving on hardly any sleep and no caffeine so...

Warning - Season 3 Spoilers if you haven't seen it yet. Uhm... My brain really isn't functioning right now... :(

What if it was Charlotte instead of Katherine pretending to be Elena?

Let me know what you thought!

Merry Christmas :)

Review! x

"You know you remind me of someone I used to know." Said Klaus, there was something that was present tonight that just seemed to be too oddly familiar but he couldn't quite pin prick it

"Really?" she asked disinterestedly, leaving it at that and made a move to walk away but Klaus gripped her arm, preventing her to walk away and to keep her cover, she had to maintain the show in her perspective.

After all, she had her own agenda.

Klaus stepped closer than Charlotte would have liked and she was right, his nostrils shifted as he inhaled her shampoo and Charlotte was internally cursing herself.

"Is that Passion Flower, Chamomile and Aloe Vera?" he asked, a look of recognition formed across his features

Charlotte laughed, "How stalkerish of you Klaus, investigating my new shampoo that was on sale."

"You seem almost nervous, Elena." He said instead

"I'm not nervous, I just don't like you." She retorted back, her eyebrows rose, daring him

"Well, I'll just get straight to the point then, shall I love?" he asked rhetorically, "People have been after me for a thousand years but I am always one step ahead, so whatever it is that you're thinking of trying, go for it. Give it your best shot, you won't succeed."

They stared each other down, each of them holding down their own ground, neither wanted to give up as there was a point to prove.

"It won't be from lack of trying." Elena muttered

"Now, you'd be smart to tell Damon to mind his manners tonight because I've already ensured that if I die, he does too. Even in death, my hybrids have their orders so if you kill me, you're killing him too." Explained Klaus

Matt came back with a beer for Elena, or what everyone thought was Elena.

Charlotte gracefully accepted the drink before walking away into the sea of people.

Charlotte felt someone grip her arm tightly; she turned around not needing to see whom it was, she could already smell it.

Hybrid.

It was a woman that Charlotte had never seen before but she was already been dragged away from the party and towards the front of the house.

Charlotte made no moves of struggle, after all, she was meant to be the fragile human girl.

The woman made her wait around the corner; she could dimly make out the conversation between Klaus and Mikael.

She recognised both voices all too well.

"Hello, Mikael, why don't you come in? Oh that's right, I forgot, you can't." Klaus taunted

Charlotte rolled her eyes, already knowing that she was going to be the leverage.

She could feel the acid in her eyes burning its way through the brown eye contacts to cover her sapphire blue eyes.

It was slow but it was still happening.

"Or you can come outside if you want." Mikael suggested

"Or I can watch my hybrids tear you limb from limb." Klaus replied

The woman grabbed Charlotte by her sides and they began walking close by to the entrance of the house, she could see the pack of hybrids ready to attack at any moment, waiting on the front lawn.

"They can't kill me." Mikael held

"True. But it'd make a hell of a party game. All I have to do is rub these two fingers together and they'll pounce." Shrugged Klaus

"The big bad wolf." Mikael taunted, each word said slowly, "You haven't changed, hiding behind your playthings like a coward. Oh and you may forget, they may be sired by you but they are still part vampire and can still be compelled by me."

It was then that Charlotte was shoved into view by the mystery woman hybrid.

Mikael gripped her tightly by his side, "Come out and face me Niklaus, or she dies."

"Go ahead, kill her." Said Klaus

"No." Charlotte said making whimpering noises as if she was truly scared, "Klaus, he'll do it."

"If she dies, this will be the last lot of your abominations." Mikael informed

"I don't need them; I just need to be rid of you." Spat Klaus

"At what ends, Niklaus? To live forever with no one by your side? No one cares about you anymore boy. Who do you have? Other than those whose loyalty you forced. No one." Mikael mocked his son, "No one!"

"I'm calling your bluff, father. Kill her." Believed Klaus

"Come outside and face me you little coward and I won't have to." Said Mikael

"My whole life you've underestimated me, if she dies, you lose you leverage, so go ahead. Go on. Kill her, come on old man. Kill her." Klaus said at once before his voice roared, "Kill her!"

Mikael let out a cruel laugh.

"You're impulse Niklaus and it has and forever will be your one thing that truly keeps you from being great." Mikael said gently

In a quick movement, Mikael had pulled out a knife from nowhere and stabbed Charlotte in the back, Charlotte made a strangled gasp before Mikael pulled out the knife and Charlotte fell to the ground.

Klaus gasped as tears fell down his face.

He sure as hell wasn't expecting that to happen.

Klaus turned around and let out an ear-piercing scream as Damon plunged the white oak tree stake into his sternum.

He was flipped on his back as Damon overpowered him but Stefan came in and pinned Damon on the ground, preventing Klaus from any more harm.

As they heard a sound behind them, Mikael turned around to see Elena, or at least they both thought it was Elena, getting up and looking at Mikael with a daring look.

To both of Mikael and Klaus' surprise, wasn't she meant to be dead?

Charlotte could already feel it, the contacts had disintegrated, showing her true eyes.

"Long time no see, Mikael." she said, this time wearing that accent, an accent Klaus hadn't heard for years.

"Charlotte..." Mikael said and Charlotte gave him a smile before turning around and throwing a bomb to the hybrids.

"Kaboom." she said, smiling as she threw the bomb.

Klaus didn't believe what he was seeing.

The girl he used to love deadly, the girl he watched die, Charlotte, his Charlotte, was there right in front of him. He couldn't help but let a few tears drop as he watched her, beautiful and daring, as always.

He chose that moment, the element of surprise and he used it towards his advantage.

Klaus grabbed the stake made from the white oak tree and lunged out of the house, pinning Mikael down and he plunged the stake into his father's heart.

He watched as his entire body became engulfed in flames.

"What the hell did you do?" Said Damon

"He's earned his freedom." Klaus answered as he walked back inside and he freed Stefan from his compulsion before he walked back outside.

But it was no use, his Charlotte was gone.

AN: So what did you think? Should it stay a one-shot or should I add another chapter where Klaus searches for her...? Hmmm, so many possibilities, lol. xx
