New idea that popped in to my head. I took some liberties here with family ties, and who is a vampire and who is a werewolf. Loosely based on Much Ado About Nothing. Very loosely. Some of the beginning will be very similar, and then it will take a hard turn in to new territory.
EPILOGUE
The carnage was endless. Klaus removed his mask in horror, looking for survivors. He should never have left. Not even for those brief moments that he had gone to distract Kol.
The werewolves had been thorough. He had no doubt that Mikael had been leading them.
There was a sound of voices, off in a little grove of trees, and he flashed over, finding Stefan and Elena, bending over Jenna, who was gasping for air, a huge chunk taken out of her shoulder. Alaric was wringing his hands in despair. Klaus pushed them aside, biting his wrist and putting it to Jenna's mouth. She drank slowly at first, but color began to return to her face, and Klaus released her in to Alaric's arms.
He looked around at the group, Elena's eyes red with tears, Stefan holding her, whispering comforting words. He could hear Elijah calling out to his men, rallying them to go after the werewolves.
"Where's Caroline?" He demanded, realizing she was no where to be found. No one seemed to know.
He growled in frustration, running past the group, out into the midst of the carnage, searching.
"Caroline!" He roared, stumbling over bodies. There was nothing but an awful silence.
He raced in to the gardens, trying to remember where he had seen her last.
"Caroline? CAROLINE!"
Then, there it was. A little voice.
"Klaus?"
She came around the corner of one of the hedges, limping badly. Her dress was torn, and she was covered in blood. Her own blood. Two large bite marks marked either side of her neck. She stumbled toward him.
He caught her as she pitched forward.
"It's ok, love. You're safe. It's me."
"Klaus, you left me here all alone? Why did you leave me here?"
The hallucinations. With two bites, it was no wonder she was having them so soon.
"Caroline, drink my blood, quickly." He held his wrist up to her mouth but she brushed it away.
"Was it because of Katerina? Is that why you can't love me?" Caroline's eyes watched him, but didn't see him. "I'm just a plaything, aren't I? Second best. Leave me, Klaus."
She pushed away with surprising strength, and stumbled back the way she had come. Klaus chased after her, mind reeling from her words. He had to get her to drink his blood.
"Caroline, please. Listen to me, you're hallucinating. Drink my blood, or you'll die." He offered her his wrist again, and she scoffed at it.
"You wouldn't even notice I was gone."
"Caroline, please."
She stumbled again, and he caught her, turning her to face him.
Her eyes were clear again, and she was lucid.
"Klaus, what, what happened? It hurts, everything hurts. Where is everyone? Elena?"
"Shhh...your family is safe. You are not, you must drink."
He held up his wrist, but she brushed it aside again, leaning forward to latch on to his neck. She slumped against him, and he wrapped his arms tightly around her, molding her to his body.
By the gods, he had missed that.
As she regained herself, she pushed back, wiping her mouth.
"Caroline, you said everything hurts. Did they-" He motioned to her torn dress, not wanting to hear the answer, knowing the affirmative would send him in to a murderous rage.
"No! Almost, but no. Kol...Kol stopped them. He told me to tell you and Elijah that he is sorry. He is so, so sorry. But he had to help Mikael or Mikael would kill Rebekah."
"Rebekah? Mikael has Rebekah?" Klaus felt as if the ground had fallen away from him.
"That-That's what Kol said. But, he must have bought her some time." Caroline tried to reassure the hybrid before her.
"I have to tell Elijah, before he raids my father's camp and kills her on accident."
He heard Stefan and Elena in the distance, calling for Caroline.
"She's over here!" He called back, before sweeping her up in a kiss of bruising intensity.
"Never doubt that it's you that I love." He whispered, before flashing away to find Elijah, leaving a very confused Caroline to be found by her cousin.
