A/N:Klaus may seem very ooc at first, let me explain, in this story he has only been a vampire for about 100 years or so, and he is still fairly humane and such. Don't worry though I'll have him back in character as soon as possible I promise! Also this first chapter is going to be more based on the movie than the following chapters so it might not be great. :) Anywho, here's the first chapter, hope you like it, and review, or if you don't like it then also review good bad evil all reviews are welcome ;)

Klaus walked through the small village, keeping his head down, he knew if anyone here recognized him there would be hell to pay. A vampire, especially a Mikaelson, coming to the Lockwood kingdom unannounced was more than frowned upon, but he had to find somewhere to hide out, because murdering a queen, even if she was your mother, had some pretty steep consequences.
So here he was in a kingdom full of werewolves, and oblivious humans, he took a small sort of pity on them. Walking around among monsters, completely blind to the truth, same as he took pity on the humans of his land. Not that it was enough for him to show them mercy.
Finding a place where he wouldn't be noticed wasn't that difficult. He found a job on a small farm in the lockwood kingdom. No one would ever suspect to find him there, working as a lowly farm boy.
"Farm boy." He smiled lightly as he heard the sound of her voice calling him, Caroline was once again ordering him around, it seemed to be her favorite past time and honestly he didn't mind much. Caroline was beautiful, and perfect, she was human though and he sometimes wondered what she would do if she ever found out what he really was. He turned around to see her standing next to her horse, how she loved that horse. "Polish my horses saddle, I want to see my face shinning in it by morning."
He just smiled at her and bowed his head slightly. "As you wish." He replied, smiling as he watched her skip away, obviously pleased with herself.
That was how he always replied to her when she ordered him around, he found it adorable honestly. She was beautiful, and as close to perfect as a human could ever be, as any being coud ever be.
Caroline watched the him chop fire wood and couldn't help herself from coming up with something else for him to do. She wasn't sure why she loved tormenting the farm boy so, but she did. "Farm boy, fill these with water." She said walking up to him, setting two empty pales in front of him. He looked up at her suddenly, and she had never seen such an intense gaze in her life, it made her squirm nervously. "Please." She added politely after a moment.
He smiled. "As you wish."
It was strange, she thought as she walked off, there was something about how he said that, the only three words he ever said. They didn't sound like the same three words always, they sounded like a different three words, a far more important three words.
It wasn't too long until she felt those three words toward him, and in no time after that she had said those three words to him, she loved him.

They spent the summer together. He never did tell her his roots, where he came from. What he really was. How could he? She would think he was a monster wouldn't she? At the same time though he wanted her to know. Wanted her to accept him, though it was unlikely. He knew eventually he would be forced to turn her. When she realized he was not aging...if she got ill. He hopped she wouldn't despise him for it.
Everything had been going smoothly, until the day word got to him that the Lockwood army had killed two of his brothers. He had to tell yet another lie to, Caroline. He was leaving to find his fortune over sea's, so they could be married. Instead Klaus set off to find the Lockwood fleet that had taken down his siblings, hunters and werewolves, and he vowed not to rest until they were all dead.
"Caroline, I promise to return to you as soon as I can." He smiled pressing his forehead to hers, she returned the smile, but not as brightly as usual. Her eyes were watering as she threw her arms around him.
"I fear I will never see you again." She told him in a voice that was little more than a whimper. She had already lost her family, her mother, her father. This wretched farm boy was all she had left, and she loved him with all her heart. She could not lose him too.
"I promise I will return." He repeated, knowing it was the truth. What could stop him? He was of the original family of vampires, and they would not be prepared for him, he would kill them easily and be back by the weekend.
She nodded, sniffling as she let go of him. "I will hunt you down if you do not." She shouted as he walked away.
Klaus looked over his shoulder and smiled warmly at her before shouting back. "As you should, love." With a wink.
He had broken his promise. She was waiting for him, and where was he? In the brig of a pirate ship, from the Mikaelson Kingdom. He considered explaining to them who he was, but then he decided that death would be better then being turned over to his family for the reward. Having to face his father. He could not do that, his father only wanted him dead anyway. Though he knew these imbeciles on this ship could not kill him.
Because Klaus burned up any trace of white oak in the Mikaelson Kingdom himself. There was no chance that they could have gotten a hold of it, and no chance a Lockwood would have given it to them.
"Niklaus Mikaelson I presume."
Looking up Klaus found a tall deep voiced man with a sword pointed directly at him.
"If you know who I am then you know that will not kill me."
The man smirked, chuckling. "Yes, but I'm sure it would slow you down, especially with vervain in your system."
"Who are you anyway? Did my father send you?"
The man laughed again, sheathing his sword. "I'm a pirate, not a puppet. You can call me, Nate."
Meanwhile...
Caroline fell to her knees and began sobbing when she learned the news of Nik's death. How could this happen? He promised he would return to her. This wasn't supposed to happen. Now what would she do?
She vowed that day as she laid on her bed, crippled by the loss, that she would never love again.

5 years later...
Horrified. That's how she felt.
She was to marry prince Lockwood? The law of the land gave him the right to chose his bride, but she did not love him, despite his insistance that she would learn to love him.
She had been in love before, and she knew that nothing could ever compare to what she had with Nik. Nothing. How could she marry another knowing what true love was, and that they did not have it?
It didn't seem right, and it made her sick. It made her stomach twist as Prince Lockwood introduced her to the kingdom as his bride to be.
The only thing she ever found joy in was her morning ride. She still had her horse, and everytime she rode it, she remembered Niklaus. His death still hurt, but remembering him wasn't as painful as it once was, it was joyous many times. Though always resulted in the pain returning, but that never went away.
"Excuse me." She heard a voice suddenly, and slowed her horse to a stop right in front of three men. One of them was tall and dark, the other with raven colored hair and peircing blue eyes, and she hadn't noticed the bronze haired devil sneak up behind her as she spoke to the other two. "Could you tell us, is there anything near by?" The dark one asked in a low tone that made her wary.
"No, not for miles, why do you ask?"
"Then there will be no one to hear you scream." Those were the last words she heard before she was incapacitated.
