Hi! So, I've changed the timeline a bit. Everything up untill 3x21 where Elena figures out that her life is linked to Alaric's follows canon. But instead of Klaus escaping Alaric and flashing off with Elena, Damon wakes up from his snapped neck, snaps Alaric's neck and flashes off with Elena to protect her. I know this is not logical, but it's fanfic. I can do what I want. I hope you enjoy and let me know if I should continue this story. This is more of a prologue than an actual chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own TVD or any of the characters.


Klaus had one hell of a day, so one could understand why he slept like a rock the rest of the night. But with Alaric still on the lose, he was obviously very alert the next morning when he realized he wasn't alone in his bed. He spun around and received the shock of his life.

"Caroline," he whispered.

She was laying on her side facing him. Her hair spilled over his pillow like rays of sunshine. She stirred and half opened her eyes. A small smile pulled on her lips as she saw the hybrid staring at her.

Klaus was shocked. He waited for her to realize she is in her enemy's bed and jump out of bed screaming. Either that, or he was dreaming. His shock must have shown, because Caroline's small smile fell.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

He stared at her. "Not that I don't enjoy the sight of you in my bed, love, but what are you doing here?"

Caroline scoffed with a grin. "Where else would I be?"

Her grin started to fade again when she saw Klaus not sharing her amusement. Suddenly her eyes darted to the rest of the room. She sat up quickly. "What year is it?"

Klaus frowned in confusion. Caroline snapped her head to him. "What year is it?" she demanded.

"2010," he answered.

Caroline stared at him for a few seconds and then flopped back down on the bed. "Why did this have to happen now?" she sighed.

"What are you talking about, love?"

Caroline turned her head towards Klaus. "I was really hoping to have a relaxing weekend, but that won't be happening anytime soon. Hello, Klaus. I'm Caroline… from the future.
