Your reviewers are so SOOO lovely…KLAUS AND THE SALVATORVE BROTHERS FOR ALL OF YOU! …..Ahhh my love for ALL the TVD men knows no bounds….except for Mikael…..yeah…..I think that's the only one I don't want to skip merrily through a field with.

Well I wasn't really going to start writing this story till I finished my other Klaroine fic: 'Witness your future.' But your responses were so kind and motivating that an early update was required! Please keep reviewing it truly does make me write a lot faster :D

For all those of you who are confused: Caroline's parents died when she was 8, Esther took pity on her and raised her as her own daughter. I have no idea about the age differences between the characters but in this fic:

Klaus is 2 years older then Caroline.

Kol and Caroline are the same age.

Rebekah is one year older then Caroline.

Elijah is five years older then Caroline.

Anyways I'm gonna stop blabbering on and actually let you guys read this whilst I day dream of running around with Klaus and feeding him Marshmallows….mmmmmm Marshmallows…mmmmm Klaus ;)


"Klaus?" Caroline whispered, kneeling beside him, gently nudging him awake, his eyes opened groggily and he looked up at the young girl he had only known for a week, the eight year old still looked haunted but upon meeting his eyes she smiled at him and tugged on his hand.

He let her pull him from the bed and together they sneaked out of the hut, Caroline ran towards the forest and Klaus followed happily, entranced by her, she was so intriguing, and she actually wanted to spend time with him, he wasn't used to this attention with his other siblings, apart from Rebekah who seemed to be ignoring him since Caroline's appearance.

They arrived at the well and Caroline looked into it, Klaus approached slowly behind her and stopped when he realised she was crying. He gently put his hand on her back and she sighed, "My parents are gone," She hiccupped, "I don't want to loose anybody else."

Klaus stood beside her and leant against the well, his fingers trailing down her arm until he finally grasped her hand, looking at her intently, "You'll never loose me."


Caroline pulled her hair out of its high ponytail, it fell to her back in loose curls and she looked uncomfortably away from the mans gaze, his posture was tight, he was as still as a statue, he probably hadn't blinked in a good few minutes, her smile fell even more when she saw that the woman's face almost exactly mirrored the man's.

She almost gulped, if they were members of Damon's family she's probably made a horrific appearance in just her dressing gown, she swept her damp hair to the side and wiped away the water that was still clinging to her cheeks from the cold shower she'd just had.

"You're marrying Damon?" The other blonde spluttered, looking like she was going to be sick.

Caroline's eyebrows furrowed in confusion and she nodded curtly, a snide smile crossing her face, she wasn't fond of the other girl already.

"Yes, and you are?" She pressed on, switching her gaze back to the man who was clearly biting his lip to stop his mouth from falling open in shock.

Finally he seemed to snap to his senses and he grabbed the woman's arm, yanking her towards him, "Come on Rebekah we have to leave now," Rebekah didn't protest and followed him towards the front door, Caroline almost yelled after them about their poor excuse of manners but then the door opened before they even had a chance to turn the handle.

"Klaus," Stefan greeted beaming at the man.

"So those are your names," Caroline called, "Interesting."

Damon stepped into the house after and rose his eyebrows at the two Mikaelson's, "Annoyed my fiancée already I see Hybrid."

Klaus grimaced, watching as Damon moved towards Caroline who slipped into his arms easily and smiled at him, commenting about how he smelt of booze and reprimanding him, saying that he'd promised to give it up for her, Klaus heard Rebekah groan behind him, clearly, the man was in love.

"You'll have to punish me later," Damon whispered cheekily in her ear and she slapped him playfully, he caught her hand and pulled her towards him, grinning at her before kissing her softly.

Rebekah held on to Klaus's hand, stopping him from ripping the two apart, Stefan looked fondly at the couple but coughed when Damon's hand travelled from Caroline's waist to her ass. Caroline sprang away from Damon and looked down at the floor blushing.

Klaus growled lowly and Rebekah held onto his arm tighter when she noticed that everyone was staring at them, Damon put a protective arm around Caroline who watched him with concern.

"Ok," Caroline tried to joke, "Klaus doesn't seem big on public displays of affection."


"Klaus?" Caroline asked shyly, peeking out from the bushes and sucking in a breath when she saw him emerging from the lake.

He hadn't heard her, hadn't seen her yet and she remained concealed, his back was to her and she bit her lip when she saw his bare ass, age had treated him well, he was now nineteen and she tried to tell herself that seventeen was old enough to witness this, but her cheeks still turned a deep shade of pink.

He walked to the tree nearest to her and she shuffled backwards so he wouldn't see her, he grabbed the cloth hanging on a branch and began drying himself, she closed her eyes trying to ignore how badly she wanted him to turn round.

"Enjoying the view?" He shouted and Caroline gasped, falling over in shock and revealing her position in the bush.

Klaus laughed at her and pulled up his trousers, tying the string to hold them in place whilst Caroline looked up at him slowly and rose from the floor, not meeting his eyes.

"I was coming to get you," She said hastily.

"Spy on me you mean?" He teased and she bent down to grab his shirt and threw it at him.

"Cover yourself," She ordered, wishing that her stupid blush would disappear.

"It's nothing you've seen before," He shrugged, "We've bathed together Caroline."

She rolled her eyes and leant against the tree trying to appear casual which only amused him more, "I was eight."

He pulled his shirt over his head and laughed at her, walking towards her, she remained still and watched him with a playful expression, he rested his arm on the bark by her head and leant close towards her.

"Brother's and sister's aren't supposed to look at each other like that," He breathed and she felt her heart rate pick up, she held her hands tightly behind her back to stop herself from doing something she'd regret.

"Well lucky for me, we aren't related," She replied and he chuckled, his eyes grazed over her face and the atmosphere changed, she closed her eyes, wishing for his lips to finally meet hers, just as in her dreams, he was only inches away from her.

"Caroline!" They heard Kol bellow, followed by his quick footsteps and Klaus moved away from her quickly and she breathed a sigh of disappointment but quickly covered it when Kol bounded out from the clearing, a mischievous smirk on his youthful face.

"Hide me from Rebekah," He commanded, running towards her and hiding behind her back, he poked his tongue out at Klaus who folded his arms, knowing there was no game of hide and seek, just Kol tormenting him with being so close to Caroline who laughed easily, "Kol, your taller then me, your being ridiculous."

"And your hanging with an oldie," Kol taunted pointing his finger at Klaus who huffed, "Come and play with us."

"Caroline's to mature to hang around with people her own age who play hide and seek."

"Oh, is she now?" Caroline said, tapping Kol on the shoulder and mouthing 'tag' and then she ran away, Kol smirked at Klaus, but he wasn't looking at him, he was watching Caroline with an amused expression on his face.

"You hog too much of her attention," Kol whined, "It's not fair."

Klaus motioned towards Caroline who was only a distant figure now, "You've finally got your sister involved in one of your games, make the most of it."

"Good point, no chance of you joining us?"

"You know Father forbids me and Elijah to play," Klaus said looking at the floor, he heard Kol sigh with acknowledgement before running after Caroline whose laughter echoed throughout the entire forest.


"Has no one told you it's impolite to stare?" Damon snapped at Klaus who looked at him with disgust before moving out of the house so fast that even Rebekah didn't have time to register his disappearance till moments later.

"He's a bit strange," Caroline murmured, her gaze fixed on the door which Klaus had just left, Rebekah watched Caroline agonizingly, willing her to remember but it was evident she wasn't able to.

Wow, Klaus had done a good job.

"He's a fucking nightmare," Damon said, moving towards Rebekah and hugging her, she responded numbly and Damon looked at her with worry.

"I should go after my brother," She said before walking out in a rush.

Caroline folded her arms and turned to the Salvatore brothers, "Now is it just me, or do they hate me?"

The brother's rolled their eyes, "They're just a bit….unique," Stefan said, watching Rebekah disappear round the corner, concern forming inside of him, their reaction's were unusual, even for them.

"Like I said to you before, fucking nutcases," Damon said grabbing a blood bag from the fridge and when Caroline settled him with a glare he smirked, "You can try to force apart me and my beloved mistress alcohol but when it comes down to it, I would personally wrestle you, stark naked I'd like to add, if you ever touch my human food."

Caroline raised her eyebrows, keeping the smile off of her face as she left the room and headed up to her and Damon's bedroom.

"Klaus!" Rebekah called, throwing the door open and entering his bedroom, as she expected, he was packing, throwing all of their clothes into suitcases, he didn't look at her, didn't even respond to her presence.

She sat on his bed and looked at him earnestly, "Are we going to discuss this?"

"We're leaving."

"You really believe that after thousands of years, thousands; that Mikael's still after her, still holding you to that stupid bargain?"

"OF COURSE HE IS!" Klaus roared, throwing the suitcase off of the bed so it flew into the wall and crashed onto the floor, he started shaking with fury but took a deep breath, trying to compose himself, "Thousands of years mean nothing when he has eternity."

"There are other women," Rebekah insisted, "He must be occupied with others by now."

Klaus laughed humourlessly, "And tell me sweet sister, when was the last time you saw me entertain a woman?"

Rebekah fell against the bed and sighed, "Never, not since her."

"Then you see why we must leave," Klaus said picking up the suitcase and repacking but Rebekah grabbed it out of his hands and stood by the other end of the room, "I do not have enough patience for this Bek's."

"I don't want to move again," She whispered and his shoulders sagged, she held her breath, hoping she'd won.

"You have ten minutes to pack."

She sighed and when he left the room she flipped open her phone, one new picture message had arrived from Kol, she squinted before opening it, hoping it wasn't a page 3 model covered in chocolate, which yes, he had sent her before.

"We have a problem!" Rebekah screamed and Klaus was beside her in an instant, taking the phone from her grasp, his mouth falling open at the picture of Caroline, clutching several bags in her hand as she walked out of the Salvatore house, her hair was back up in a ponytail and she was smiling happily, the caption from Kol read: 'Look what I've found.'

Klaus immediately called Kol, the phone pressed tightly to his ear as he growled at his brother, "Kol what the fuck are you doing?"

"I found her Nik! And don't you dare threaten to dagger me, that threat is old now, think of a new one, like you'd make me snog Stefan, that's gross enough, actually, no! Threaten to put me in a room with about four or five witches, to be fair I can pleasure-"

"I'm going to dagger you," Klaus said quietly and Kol fell silent, "If you do not leave her alone and come with us I will never let you back out of the coffin Kol."

There was silence for several moments then Kol said, "Don't you miss her? She's here Nik! Right here! You can't keep me from family."

"Kol, I'm warning you-"

"Oh stop being such an old fart, now I'm off to talk to our sister," He hung up and Klaus yelled and almost crushed the phone but it was only the reappearance of her face on the screen which stopped him from doing so, he pocketed the phone and looked at Rebekah sighing, "Clearly it looks like we're staying here a few more days."
