AN: Just something random that came to me. Inspired by a few things but I hope you're amused. No beta because I can't afford one.

Caroline inhaled the fresh air in the Oregon forest. She was a long way from Mystic Falls. She had finally graduated high school and decided to spend the summer with her father and his partner. They decided to go camping for some reason. Caroline went along, wanting to spend some time with her father before going to college in the fall. Bill and Steven were setting up the tents while Caroline walked around the lake. Feeling sweaty from the summer heat, she decides to take a swim. She takes off her clothes, since she wore her bikini under. She jumps into the lake and splashes around. She feels someone is watching her and turns around.

"Who's there?" Caroline yells out

There is no answer and Caroline quickly gets out of the water and grabs her clothes. She knows someone's there, she can feel it and she runs back to camp.

"Didn't you say all you had to do was throw the tent out and it would put itself together?" Bill asked

"I never said that" Steven said

Both men looked up when they saw Caroline running back to camp holding her clothes.

"Is something wrong?" Bill asked

"No, I was swimming in the lake, I thought someone was watching me, so I came back here" Caroline said

"There shouldn't be anyone out here, it's not that popular of a camp site" Steven said

The three looked up when they heard the sound of a jeep driving towards them. A park ranger came out.

"Afternoon, just going around telling folks to be careful. There have been a few wolf sightings in the area. Nothing you should be worried about. They usually won't bother people. You leave them alone, they'll leave you alone" the ranger said

"Thanks for the warning" Bill said

"Just be careful" the park ranger said

There was a howl, and a few more howls. The wolves were running towards the hunt. One of them had signaled that they had found the prey. The others would circle around it and attack. The she wolf ran towards the howls. A male figure was running along side her. The wolves took down the deer quickly. The wolves descended and ate. The she wolf looked up at the male who ran along side her. He crouched down and rubbed his face against hers. He reached into the deer and started eating.

By nightfall, Caroline was asleep in her tent. Her father and Steven shared another tent. She heard the strange noises and tried to go to sleep. She then got out of her tent and went to find a few bushes where she could go to the bathroom. Holding her flashlight she walked behind the bushes. She heard another howl and then the sound of a man. She wasn't sure what kind of sound that was, but it sounded like he was hurt. She ran towards the sound. She stopped at the sight before her. It was a she wolf with its leg trapped in a bear trap. Next to her was a man, on his hands and knees, trying to get the wolf out. His hair was long and knotted, and his skin was covered in mud and dirty. He wore the skins of other animals on his almost naked body. The man whined when the wolf did and nudged her head with his.

"Hey, it's going to be ok, I'll help you" Caroline said walking towards them

Klaus hisses at her, trying to protect the she wolf. He can't free her from the trap and knows it's helpless as those before who were caught in these were never freed. He knew some that had chewed off their own leg to get free, but they died after that.

Caroline put the flashlight down on the ground, shining it at the bear trap. She slowly approached Klaus with her hands up.

"I'm not going to hurt her ok?" Caroline said stepping closer

Klaus looked at her and recognized her from the lake earlier. He had seen her swimming in the lake before and stood there and watched her. He ignored the calls from his mother, and kept watching her. He didn't know why but he felt drawn to her. He recognized her scent and watched her slowly approach the she wolf. Caroline crouched down and looked at the trap. There had to be a lever or something to release the trap. She looked around and Klaus watched her. She found a knob and turned it, and it released the she wolf's leg. The trap opened and the she wolf whined out in pain. She looked at the leg and the trap had broken the bone and she was bleeding heavily. Caroline took off the hoodie she was wearing and wrapped it around the she wolf's leg. Klaus watched her as she gently tried to wrap it around the leg.

"We have to get her to a vet or something" Caroline said

Klaus reaches out to the she wolf. Caroline doesn't understand why he isn't talking to her. But she can tell that he and the wolf are saying something to each other. Klaus picks up the she wolf and starts to carry her off.

"Hey wait! Where are you going?" Caroline said picking up her flashlight, "Hey!"

Klaus carried the wolf back to the cave where they slept. Caroline followed them in and realized this was where they were living. She looked around and saw a small backpack that belonged to a child. She picked up the bag and saw the letters that were stitched onto it.

"You're name is Klaus?" Caroline asked

Klaus was trying to make the she wolf comfortable. He wasn't sure what to do. The she wolf had taken care of him since he was a child. Caroline looked inside the bag and saw drawings a child had done. She could tell Klaus was the child in the picture, and there were other children next to him, all in size order. She could tell he had a sister by the pink dress he drew on her. She saw he had parents. A mom who was holding his hand, and a father who was black and angry and away from them.

"Klaus? We have to get her to a vet, she'll die here" Caroline said

Klaus was panicking he didn't know what to do. Caroline came over and looked at the she wolf's leg which was still bleeding.

"We have to take her to a vet" Caroline said

Caroline reached out to pick up the wolf. Klaus stopped her. He scooped the wolf up into his arms and stood up. He motioned with his head that he would follow her. Caroline led him back to the camp site. Klaus had seen campers before, he didn't pay them much mind. They didn't bother him so he didn't bother them. Caroline got into her father's car and started it. Klaus froze. Caroline opened the door to the backseats. She motioned for Klaus to put the wolf inside. Klaus was hesitant to do so. Caroline tried to take the wolf from him but he wouldn't let her go. He cautiously crawled into the back with the wolf. Caroline closed the door which startled Klaus and the wolf. She got into the driver's seat and sped off. Bill heard something and lifted his head up.

"Caroline?" Bill called out

"Go back to sleep" Steven said

Caroline sped down the road looking for a vet. She looked at her phone trying to find the closest one. She drove towards it and parked. She got out of the car and opened the door for Klaus. Klaus gets out and holds the wolf in his arms.

"This way" Caroline said

Klaus looks up at the big building with lights and strange noises. He's afraid, but he walks towards it for the she wolf. Once inside, he sees Caroline talking to someone. The lights were blinding him, and the noises were everywhere. It was overwhelming him. He started to stumble back, he felt someone taking the she wolf from him. He snarled out, he hissed trying to get her back.

"Calm down!" Caroline said

Klaus yelled out, he could see them taking the she wolf away. He couldn't lose her. He tried to go after her, he was losing her scent. He felt someone holding his arms back. He looked back and saw men he didn't know. And then he felt something stab him in the neck before it all went dark.

This will be a short fic, like 3 parts. Inspired by an episode of beastmaster. Hope you liked it.
