Hi guys, this story has been a long time coming. I have wanted to do a past fanfiction with Klaroline for a while but I have been so wrapped up in "Protector of Hope" that I haven't had time to start another; however with that story coming to an end soon this will hopefully be successful as well. I haven't done a fanfiction like this yet so please say if there is room for improvement and what you would like to see

I am so hyped for season 5 of TO as well because Caroline will be in the season and it's something I have all been waiting to see for about 5 years! Bloody Hell it better be good ahaha…

Anyway hope you like the first chapter, best wishes

It was 1920 the year of Jazz, Music and Art; Niklaus could say it is one of his favourite centuries by far, minus being on the run from Mikael of course, it definitely gave him enjoyment in his endless turmoil of stress and anger Rebekah endured beside him.

Nik had of course boxed up all his belongings, including his family however kept his dear sister beside him. As cold as Niklaus could be he couldn't bare another decade completely alone with any company such as his favourite sibling; his most loved.

"Nik, we must be on our way. The show begins in half an hour." Rebekah said as she entered the living room of their rented flat for the time being. In the room was a grand fire place with two red sofa's both sides and a carpet trailing in between.

"Alright Rebekah" Niklaus turned around from the fire place. "Let's be off" He downed his whisky and walked past her; leading the way.

The Michaelson siblings strutted the streets of Chicago to the theatre just around the block, the alley ways were the most adventurous for the two of them with the slumbers of food they would find and the Gangs they would laugh at as they threatened them.

They both truly enjoyed the society of Chicago and the music especially, the time period was a beauty in their war against Mikael.

"Marcel would have loved this town." Rebekah stated absent minded.

"Do not speak of him Rebekah." Niklaus said dangerously quiet with clenched teeth.

"I apologise Nik."

"Caroline!" Liz shouted pounding her healed feet around back stage. "Lilly, have you seen Caroline?"

"She's on the roof again Miss." Lilly, their handy girl said.

Liz's face went half angry and exhausted. "My daughter needs to watch herself; if her Father ever catches her dallying about he won't be half as forgiving."

Elizabeth climbed the long ladder to the roof top to find her Daughter lying on a blanket staring up at the starry sky. "Caroline, you have to stop doing this." Elizabeth said slightly out of breath. "Your Father expects you on stage in 20 minutes!"

Peace never lasted longer for Caroline it was always orders and accommodating guests with her pretty young face for her. "Oh of course mother, we wouldn't want to raise Father's anger would we?"

"Do not give me that attitude about your father. You know he just wants to do right by you." Elizabeth said sharply. "Now come on get down there and get ready!"

Ah of course mother are you sure he just doesn't want to do right by his bank? Caroline thought.

As always Lilly stood at the desk ready to get Caroline powdered up for show time in her flapper white sequined dress with silver heals. For her hair it was pinned up in a bun at the back with curls hanging loose, for the finishing touches a black band went around her head placed in the middle of her forehead with a red feather to match her striking lips painted red. Her eyes were simple with black mascara; not wanting to ruin the portrayal of innocence with her clear skin and blue eyes.

"All about the looks" Her Daddy said. Not only that but the title as he was the man that made his daughter's "dreams come true". The irony Caroline thought scoffing for anyone to see as she didn't give a damn.

"Thank you Lilly." Caroline said to the girl only 15. "I look just like 'Lady Lana' now." Caroline smiled sadly at her show name.

"It will be okay Miss." Lilly said seeing her sadness. "One day you'll be free."

Caroline laughed. "Yes maybe….I better be heading to stage now, see you later honey."

Niklaus and Rebekah sat in the second row from the stage with a perfect view ready for the stage to shine as they waited for the show to begin.

"I hope it's good and not just a soppy show." Rebekah remarked.

"What do you mean?" Niklaus smirked.

"Well its run by the father of the star of the show Lady Lana. Apparently the story is he made his career for her so she could fulfil her dream." Rebekah said patronisingly.

"Ah how touching." Niklaus said sarcastically and they both laughed.

Soon the lights went out and a light hit the read heavy curtains as a middle aged Man appeared in a well fitted suit smiling down at the audience but Nikalus saw darkness in his eyes.

"Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen! Are we all ready?" The man said and in reply all the humans shouted back in chores of "yes" over and over.

"Come on now" The man laughed. "I can't hear you I've gone a bit death." The audience shouted yes again and laughed at his pun. "Now tonight we will be seeing my beautiful girl perform many acts tonight; I can guarantee the men will enjoy it" The man laughed. "So hold onto your man ladies!"

Niklaus immediately didn't like him and Rebekah hated degrading men anyway but there was a certain twist to this man he didn't find friendly.

"As for you beautiful blossoms out there, a handsome Magician will be performing along with a Jazz band and the remarkable man that can breathe flames!"

Many oohs and ahhs went around the stadium like a chirping bird.

"Ladies and Gentleman enjoy the show!" The man walked off the stage. Soon the curtains swiftly opened and revealed a Jazz band and a beautiful blonde girl.

I've heard nasty business is happening around here, I think y'all are drinking too much beer. A small girl in a big city meeting men at night… The girl winked at the man trying to get in stage. You think I need protection in your big strong arms, not today my man just prays for my soul when I got to the parties. The girl smirked.

Starry sky keeps me hypnotised with the stage my winning prize. Don't feel sorry for me, I have it all in my eyes…

Niklaus saw her smile bright but it didn't reach her eyes and her blue eyes were as sad as a stormy sea. The song eventually finished and all the men at the front were trying to get on the stage…

"Now now boys, behave. My name is Lady Lana so treat me well" Niklaus smirked at her cheeky behaviour.

"Oh come on honey, you can't blame me!" A young man said.

"I personally can't understand how you haven't noticed the stunning lady in the second row" Lady Lana smiled and waved at Rebekah. Rebekah just smiled a hint of shock in her eyes.

The show went on smoothly. Lady Lana did a dance sequence which was based off the violence found in Chicago and stared as the Killer which was portrayed as she danced with one of the men from the Jazz band. Of course other acts appeared but Niklaus was only interested in her.

"I quite enjoyed that, Nik." Rebekah smiled.

"I know you did from that look on your face." Niklaus smirked. "Come on, we will go and give our gratitude to the Lady herself back stage."

Caroline lay down on her puffy pink sofa in her dressing room completely exhausted. A bang hit her locked door with shouts of her name echoed by her Father. Ugh did she ever have a break?! Caroline soon sprang up and yanked the door open.

"Yes?" Caroline smiled patronisingly sweet.

"You have guests who would like to meet you, a few groups actually. You will accommodate them with anything they want." Her Father said sharply.

"Meaning?" Caroline said with sass.

Billy stepped into the room, his face going red with anger. "Meaning you give them your innocence if I say so!" His hand wrapped around her neck squeezing tight. "YOU DO AS I SAY GIRL!" He threw her on the floor next to her desk. "Now sort yourself out girl. They'll be sent in in five minutes."

Caroline lay still for a few minutes. It wasn't the first time but it hurt more every time; tears streamed down her face crumbling up into a ball on the floor. Eventually she moved to get up but realised her arm was bleeding. "Damn it." She got up slowly and just about managed to hold herself up on the desk…There was a knock on the door.

"One minute" Caroline said but it came out strangled.

XOXOXOXOXOXOX

Niklaus knocked on the door with Rebekah by his side. A few seconds past before they heard her say to wait.

"Can you smell blood?" Rebekah said.

"Rebekah we're surrounded by humans of course I can smell blood." Niklaus said sarcastically. Just as he finished his sentence there was a crash on the other side of the door. Niklaus didn't hesitate to kick the door open, only to see Lady Lana leaning against a chair with cloth against her arm and fresh red wounds around her neck.

The girl looked back in shock then eventually said. "I'm okay, don't worry." With tears streaming down her face.

So what do you think? I hope you enjoyed it. Please review I would be very thankful.
