Change the Past: Prologue

Lost

Hey guys so here is my first attempt at a Vampire Diaries fic. In this Hayley and Klaus never hooked up and Bonnie and Stefan are the only ones who approve of Caroline and Klaus. Caroline broke up with Tyler after realizing that he cared more for himself than he did her. This will be rated T for now but could change to M if you guys want it to. I've never written for TVD before so I hope no one is too OOC. Please review!

P.S: This is unbeta-ed so any mistakes are all mine.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Vampire Diaries. If I did Klaroline would have happened and Haley would be LOOOOONG dead. I only own the characters that do not appear in the series.

My fingers trace your every outline, yeah

Paint a picture with my hands, no, no

" Mmm.. I'll never get used to this." Klaus said as they cuddled in post-coital bliss. Caroline snuggled closer to his naked chest. " Used to what?" she asked.

" This" he said drawing circles on her bare back and shoulder.

" Well I promise, you'll never have to be alone again Nik. Always and forever." she whispered staring into those cerulean eyes that not 2 months ago, belonged to the enemy. But they didn't understand him. He wasn't just the big bad hybrid. He was her Nik. He'd been through so much. They'd been through so much. When she looked at him she no longer saw the bad guy. She saw a scared man; a man with so much love hiding beneath the surface that no one had ever loved back. But she did. It hit her like a ton of bricks and in that moment she knew it was right. "Nik?"

" Yes sweetheart?"

" I love you." His fingers stopped moving and he froze. " Wh... what did you say?" he asked, eyes wide. " I love you Nik. I don't see your past mistakes anymore. I see your future. I see our future and I know no matter what happens we will always find our way back to each other. It's okay if you can't say it now. But I want you to know it." He stared at her and she watched the emotions flicker through those beautiful baby blues. Shock. Fear. Uncertainty. Then they settled on one singular emotion. Love.

" I love you too Caroline" he whispered and drew their mouths together in a tender kiss. She smiled against his lips and she rolled on top of him. Kissing down his neck, chest, and then back to his mouth as he moaned against her lips. " Darling if you keep doing that, I won't be responsible for my actions" he groaned as she nibbled behind his ear.

" You won't hear me object" she murmured. He groaned again before flipping them and staring into her eyes. " I love you Nik." And she spent the next few hours showing him just that.

Somewhere in the New Orleans, the French Quarter...

Marcel, Hayley and Tyler gathered in a circle around their witch, Jessamine. Cutting their palms Tyler and Marcel each squeezed some blood onto the flat stone in the center of their circle. The blood started sizzling and Jessamine began to chant. " Cape hunc sanguinem et facere ut obliviscatur eius dilectione. Cape hunc sanguinem et facere ut obliviscatur eius dilectione. Cape hunc sanguinem et facere ut obliviscatur eius dilectione." The blood began to flame. Seconds later, the flames turned blood red before dying out in a puff of smoke. " It is done." she said then collapsed.

Back in Mystic Falls...

Klaus awoke with a start, disoriented he shot out of bed, snarling. Seeing Caroline he ripped her out of bed and pinned her against the wall, one hand around her neck. Her eyes wide with fear, she stared at Klaus. There was no hint of recognition in his eyes.

" Who the hell are you?!" he growled. Her hands clawed at his, trying to release his hold but he had thousands of years on her and was a hybrid. " Answer me!" he shouted.

" Nik" she sputtered as her feet kicked as they dangled in the air. " It's me. Caroline!" He dropped her and she collapsed at his feet, gasping for air. What the hell? she thought as she stared at Klaus. A second later, he was gone leaving Caroline in shock.

SO... There's the prologue. I hope you guys enjoyed and follow this story because I'm pretty freaking excited to write it.

TRANSLATION: In case y'all didn't have to take Latin as a language in high school the witch (Jessamine) was saying " take this blood and make him forget his love". Yes it sounds cooler in Latin, I know. Blame the inventors of the English language for not coming up with something cooler for us to say everyday.
