Hello! I'm so glad to be writing this first fan fiction! I've loved Klaroline since the moment they were on screen together! I can't believe the show producers haven't made them a couple yet! It drives me crazy! Anyways, this fan fiction will be right after 4x14. It will contain spoilers, fluff, and whatever I'd like to put in (: I'll try not to go to OOC but keep in mind it's a fan fiction and anything can happen! I'd love any reviews!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any part of the VD! If I did, Klaus and Caroline would happily be together...

Now that I've made you all wait, here we go!

Chapter 1:

Caroline entered her home for the first time in a week. She smiled as she thought back on her past week. It was drama free, and so much fun. She actually felt human for the first time in a while. All the drama between Elena, Stefan, Damon, and their love triangle, as well as Bonnie and Shane, and lets not even mention Tyler... She had needed a desperate vacation. She decided to go to visit her old childhood friend in Chicago who she had known forever. It was great to catch up with someone who had known nothing about the supernatural.

She hadn't really talked to any of her friends lately which was mostly her fault, as she wanted as little interaction with her hometown as possible. She had made it clear: emergencies only. However, she had text Bonnie once two days previous, but just to make sure everything was okay. The only thing she told her was that Kol was back in town. She seriously didn't like that guy. She couldn't help but feel though like she had missed out on something. But honestly, when was she ever clued in? Nobody wanted to include Caroline. Especially Damon and his reasons were absolutely ridiculous. He had this little idea that since Klaus had mentioned he'd "fancied" her; she would fall into his little trap. She laughed to herself, that day would never come.

She set her bags down and walked upstairs. Her hair was in a messy bun, and she was wearing her favorite pink yoga pants as well as a zip up pink hoodie to match it. Traveling always took so much out of her. She figured that since it was a Saturday night, she would shoot Elena a message and check up on everyone.

"Do you want to hang out tonight? I miss you!"

She decided to at least take a shower and look presentable so she stripped off her clothes, picked out a dark wash colored pair of jeans, and a nice shimmery teal top. She laid them out, and turned the shower on hot, letting the water massage her muscles in her back. She tried not to think of the same reoccurring thing in her mind, but it kept coming back to her. Tyler. That boy would be the death of her. She knew that he was in a huge amount of pain from the loss of his mother, but she was noticing that he had changed. She wanted nothing more than to help him, but he wouldn't reply to her texts, nor would he even bother looking at her. She got the fact he was depressed, but seriously? Turn away someone who cares for you to help you? She was beginning to doubt her feelings towards him. Maybe she should let him know to move on. At this point, as much as she loved him, it was almost like a brotherly love.

"Whatever..." Caroline said to herself, "I'm a strong, confident woman. I don't need to worry about him."

She turned off the water and dried herself off. She didn't really feel like styling her hair, so she settled for one of her favorite hairstyles, and braided her long blonde locks down her back, leaving a few pieces out front to curl. She applied her foundation, a light teal eye shadow, and her favorite pink lipstick. Once she was satisfied, she smiled at herself in the mirror.

She checked her phone, and still no text from Elena. It was unusual for her to not get back to her right away. It was 6 p.m. Caroline sighed and decided to head over to Elena's house to see what was holding her up. She walked downstairs, grabbed her lace black flats, and slipped them on. Next she grabbed her keys, cell phone, and purse which held her wallet, and all her girly essentials.

Maybe Elena and Bonnie will want to get something to eat at the grill? She thought to herself.

After she pulled out of the driveway she decided to give Bonnie a ring to see where she was. She kept one hand on the wheel, and the other selected Bonnie's number and dialed her. It went right to voicemail. Definitely odd, as Bonnie wasn't one to let her phone go unanswered. Was something going on?

She passed the Mystic Grill and the park and was nearing Elena's house. She thought about Tyler's mother. She really wanted to believe that it was all an accident, but she knew that was most likely not the case. Nothing was what it seemed anymore. Mayor Lockwood: one of the sweetest, nicest, and most welcoming woman in all of Mystic Falls. It made no sense that someone would kill her, but at the same time, maybe someone had their reasons.

She pulled herself out of her thoughts as she approached the Gilbert's driveway. She didn't see anyone's car so maybe Elena and Bonnie were at the boarding house? That would be her next stop if nobody was home. With all of the originals around, she wasn't about to lie, she felt a little jumpy going anywhere alone. She was a vampire though, and could take care of herself. She got out of the car and shut the door. She tuned her vampire hearing in to see if anyone was home, or what was going on. That's when she finally looked up and saw the door wide open and kicked in. That was never a good sign.

She rushed to the door and that's when she heard….crying?

She further investigated, being cautious as she had absolutely no idea what was going on.

"Elena?" Caroline whispered, knowing Elena would be able to hear her if she was in the house.

"No."

Whose voice was that? She walked slowly around the corner, only to come face to face with the one and only Klaus.

"Caroline darling, what makes you think you have any right to stand in front of me right now?" Klaus voice was low and controlled and full of venom. It terrified Caroline. He had never spoken to her like this before. She could see it in his eyes that he had been crying. His eyes were red and puffy. What the hell?

"Excuse me? Last time I checked I came to check up on -"Caroline's gaze drifted toward the dead body on the ground.

"Kol?" Caroline was absolutely stunned. He was dead? But wasn't he in town just yesterday, alive and well? She was confused as ever.

Klaus raised his voice an octave and bellowed. "Oh please! Like you don't know! You were in on this little plan, just like your despicable little friends. I will hunt you ALL to your ends. I trusted you Caroline! I even fancied you! This is how you repay me? Killing my BROTHER?" He had emphasized the sarcasm in his words.

Caroline stepped back and gaped. What in the hell was he talking about? He wanted to kill her? He trusted her? Elena and Jeremy killed Kol? An original? Her mind was working a million miles an hour. She was terrified but she couldn't show him her fear.

"Klaus, I have no idea what you're talking about. How dare you accuse me of killing your brother! My friends are not despicable, and if they killed Kol they would have had a reason!" Caroline hadn't meant to get so fired up, but being accused by someone who was being controlled by anger was not going to happen.

"You expect me to believe that you played no part? Oh come now Caroline, let's not be ridiculous, I know you're lying. You and your little posse include each other in everything, and your little witch friend decided to trap me in here. Now they are able to complete Jeremy's mark and find the cure!" His voice was filled with venom.

She put the pieces together now. Jeremy must have killed Kol so that he could complete his hunter's mark. By killing off Kol, he killed every vampire that ever ran through Kol's bloodline. How could they not tell her this? She was definitely pissed off. Not to mention they all screwed themselves, as Klaus was going to kill all of them.

"I thought that you cared dearly about that cure. You can't kill Elena; you need her for your hybrids!" Caroline exclaimed.

"Do you think that I care about the cure anymore? No! Nothing matters anymore but my revenge on EVERYONE who took part on killing my brother. Now get out of here, and leave me alone or I will hunt you down Caroline!" He shouted.

Klaus threw his body at the invisible barrier, only to be rejected for the thousandth time that night.

"Fine, if you don't believe me then compel me. " Caroline didn't understand why she cared so much what Klaus thought, but she couldn't just let him kill her and her friends. She had to calm him down.

"Excuse me?" Klaus looked dumbfounded.

"You heard me, Klaus. If you don't believe I didn't know anything, then compel me!" She was crazy and she knew it. But she was desperate, and Caroline Forbes never is desperate. He could compel her to go kill herself, but she had to give it a try.

"You know I could make you do anything right?" Klaus commented.
"Yes, I know, but how else will you believe me?" Caroline replied.

He admired her bravery and her fire. He would never have trusted himself when he was so emotionally unstable.

Caroline stepped up to the invisible barrier in the living room. She watched as Klaus stepped closer as well. His eyes were blue like the sky, and she found herself begin to get lost in them as his pupils dilated and she felt herself begin to be compelled.

"Did you know about this plan?"
"No. I was staying in Chicago since last Saturday and the only thing that Bonnie told me was that Kol was in town." Caroline said.

Klaus debated on compelling her to do something else. Possibly get him out. But he knew that would be a waste of time as the group would be leaving to find the cure soon. Plus he couldn't bring himself to hurt her when she had told the truth and knew nothing. Did he seriously still fancy her? She really had done nothing wrong. Caroline jolted him from his thoughts.

"Do you believe me now?" She could notice his eyes burning with tears that were threatening to spill over.
"I… I can't believe Kol is gone." Klaus' voice was barely a whisper. "I just need to be alone Caroline. Please leave me be."

"Fine, goodnight Klaus. Enjoy sitting in the living room alone." She wanted an apology but she knew that was far beyond him.

With that she turned on her heel and walked out the door.

Klaus watched her as she walked out, her long braid swaying with her back. She had remained loyal to him and had even trusted him enough to let him compel her, as well as calm him down. What did he feel for this girl?
