I haven't worked out which episode this will follow but so far, Kol isn't dead, but the conversation between Caroline and Klaus was moved so instead Caroline went to Klaus to ask him to release Tyler and after some persuading he did but it made her question his intentions. Caroline has tried to contact Tyler to tell him that he can come back but he won't pick up the phone, she has left him lots of messages. So for now ignore Tyler's situation.

I hope you enjoy this and please remember to review :D

Caroline paced the floor of her bedroom as she ran her fingers through her golden locks which were beginning to become tangled.

I know that you're in love with me

You're hallucinating

The scene kept replaying her head, he never denied it, he didn't denied it! What the hell did that mean, he let Tyler go when she had asked him to show compassion and he walked away when Tyler tried to start a fight with him.

What if I'm right? What if he..loves…No! Not possible, he's a monster.

Is he? He showed compassion and care when you were hurt, when you told him you didn't have a prom dress he gave you a stunning Queen worthy one and he hasn't hurt your friends since his stay in Mystic Falls.

Stop it!

The constant circle was never ending, she had to know why he did it all. Was it some game to get her on his side or was it real? Caroline put on her jacket and shoes, flashing out of the her house towards Klaus' she stopped in front of his door.

Knock Knock! Caroline turned to face away from the door to compose herself and try to at least have some semblance of composure. She turned bac to face the door and breathed in deep waiting for the door to open. She waited and waited as the minutes ticked by. Listening into the house she could hear Klaus breathing and make out the sound of a paintbrush working against a canvas. Opening the door slowly she entered the huge mansion. The intricate detailing of the room caught her eye and the painting hanging over the fireplace held her attention before she snapped back to the situation in hand. Caroline made her way upstairs towards Klaus' room where he was listening to her movements in return.

Klaus continued painting as he heard Caroline open the door quietly and stand I the doorway watching him.

"You know, when someone doesn't open the door love, it usually suggests that they don't want to talk." He said in a low tone as he concentrated on the piece before him, the colours started to merge to form a back drop of the night sky and a pure white moon shining down.

"Why did you do it?" she said resolutely suppressing the want to turn around and run away but she needed to know why he did what he did.

"Do what Caroline?" her name was enveloped in a roll of his accent as Caroline slowly approached him.

"Let Tyler go, help me, care?"

"Because you asked me to" he murmured as he tried to draw his attention back to the painting and pretend he didn't notice the direction that this conversation was heading.

"But why did you agree?" she huffed out as she stopped behind him. Klaus avoided the question and just continued to brush the paint across the masterpiece. "Klaus…Klaus will you look at me?" she asked as she waited for him to turn to face her which he didn't. "Klaus, seriously, I'm trying to have a conversation with you so stop acting like a child and face me!" he stopped moving as her anger washed over him and then continued to paint frustrating her even more. Impulsively, she flashed in front of him wedging herself between him and the canvas.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" he hissed at her as he span her round and pushed her up against the wall. Caroline scoffed and tried to push him back as he slammed his hands beside her head against the wall.

"I'm trying to have a civil conversation with you when you constantly ignore me like a 5 year old, so if you won't listen then I'll make you listen!"

"Have you forgotten that you're just a baby vampire compared to me and that I could snap your neck quicker than you blink." He forced the words through his clenched teeth. Caroline sighed and her body sagged against the wall.

"I just want you to tell me the truth Klaus. Please." His features softened and his hands fell as he stepped back allowing Caroline to regain her confidence and go in straight for the hit. "When I said that you loved me. You didn't deny it. Why?" their eyes met and the room went silent as each one tried to comprehend the meaning behind it.

"You know why Caroline." He murmured as his eyes continued to bore into hers.

"Tell me." She whispered back. He let out a deep breath and ran his hand run his hair as tears started to burn his eyes. "Please tell me Klaus, I need to know." His eyes narrowed and his shoulders tensed.

"Why do you need to know? So you can lure me in and weaken me, or is what I've already done not enough. Do you want to use my affection for you as trap, is this another plan to kill me?" he continue to question her as he closed in on her again. Caroline shook her head as water filled her eyes and threatened to spill over.

"No…no, not any of that, I need to know Klaus, just me. I need to know if question her as he closed in on her again. Caroline shook her head as water filled her eyes and threatened to spill over.

"No…no, not any of that, I need to know Klaus, just me. I need to know if your caring is real or just fake attempt." She whispered. His eyes blazed with fire.

"A fake attempt?! Everything I have done is because I care, I didn't hurt your friends because you care for them even when they tried to kill me, I didn't take the doppleganger or forcefully take any of her blood because I know you care about her. I saved you when you were bitten twice. I let one of my hybrids die because you asked me to. Can't you see it Caroline, all I have ever done is for you. I have shown kindness, forgiveness and pity, for you Caroline. It's all for you." He shouted as it dissolved into a mere whisper whilst tears started to fall from Caroline's eyes.

"So tell me…Klaus…say it…please" Klaus bowed his head in defeat and raised it slowly searching Caroline's eyes for any misconceptions. "Please…" she whispered.

"..I…Caroline…I.." he sighed deeply and gently cupped her cheek and ran his thumb across her tears removing them. "Caroline Forbes…I love you…I'm completely and irrevocably in love…with you. I would do anything that you asked me, I would show you the world or remain in Mystic Falls for an eternity if I had you. I would help you, care for you and love you with every beat of my heart and even after as well as I do now. I would give you everything that I am, I would let you consume me, I would make you experience all the wonder of the world and I would be your friend, lover, family. I would do all of that and more because I love you Caroline…" Caroline remained in shock as Klaus confessed to her and she saw genuine tears fall down his cheeks. As he spoke, his eyes never wavered from hers and she could see the pure, innocent emotions that he emitted without any mask. Klaus closed his eyes tight and took in a deep breath as he felt her hot burning tears run through his fingers. "I'm sorry…" Caroline's brow furrowed.

"Sorry?"

"I'm sorry that all those things aren't enough…" he whispered as their eyes made contact again. "I'm sorry that even though I would do all those things because I love you, there is the most important one that I need to do now…I'm 1'000 years old Caroline, I have hundreds of enemies that would hurt you since you are my only weakness and it's because I love you that I would rather have you alive, happy and free to experience the world than to be constantly in fear of being used. I would rather you be safe and protected than have you by my side where you could be hurt. I love you, my Caroline, I will always love you…" her eyes narrowed in confusion when she suddenly realised what he meant. His confession had led to his goodbye. The goodbye for her.

"Klau-" but she was too late to counteract his move. His eyes dilated and connected with hers. Both of them shed tears in realisation of what was about to happen and as much as she tried to fight his eyes, they had had her hypnotised.

"You will not remember this conversation, you remained at home, you never wondered about my love for you, you will return home straight away. Forget how I feel for you, forget that I love you, goodbye, my love." He murmured as Caroline took everything on board and repeated what he had said. There was a moment's hesitation as Klaus' compulsion ended and they continued to look at each other before Caroline suddenly turned and her eyes connected with Rebekah's as she bypassed her and flashed out of the mansion and back to her house.

Klaus stood in the middle of the art room and let the tear drops fall.

"Was that really a wise thing to do, Nik?" a soft female voice floated into his ear. He turned to see Rebekah standing in the doorway looking at him with a solemn expression. Klaus looked away from her to the snowflake painting hanging on the wall as she approached him and embraced him in a hug. He buried his face into her neck like he did when they were children needing warmth and comfort. "Will you ever tell her the truth?" Klaus just tightened his grip on her waist instead of answering.

Caroline slammed the door to her bedroom and crumpled to the floor against it as she pulled her knees to her body trying to make herself as small as possible and let herself cry.

After a few minutes she slowly raise herself and replaced the empty bottle of vervain which she ingested that morning with a new one. She could feel the burning sting ass the vervain pumped through her body and she lifted her hand to let her fingertips graze over the unforgettable words, much like the person. 'Thank you for your honesty. Klaus'

He loves you…Niklaus Mikaelson is completely in love with you.

And he tried to compel you to forget to protect you.

So what do I do now…?
