Answer the damn phone. Caroline thought to herself as she tried reaching her mom for the umpteenth time that week. She heard Klaus chuckle behind her as she stomped her foot in annoyance. Right before she hung up she heard the phone click when it was answered and heard a sweet voice say, "Forbes residence, Leah speaking."

Caroline was so taken back that she just stood there until the voice said, "Hello?"

"Le-Le?" Caroline asked still confused as to why her cousin who she hadn't seen in a few years was answering the phone.

"OMG! Carebear, is that you?" the voice sang into the phone.

"Yes. I'm glad to hear your voice but what are you doing at the house?" Caroline asked though joyed to hear from her cousin but not knowing why.

"It's a long story but she's letting me crush. Hell girl it's been forever. Your mom told me you're in New Orleans? That must be awesome."

"Yeah it is actually. I live with my umm…my umm…"Caroline wasn't sure what she should call Klaus.

"Boyfriend." Klaus spoke from right beside her loud enough for Leah to giggle. Caroline swatted at him and he just chuckled and resumed his seat on the couch picking up his sketch book.

"That's great Care. You're happy right?" Leah asked and Caroline could hear the anxiety in her voice.

"Of course. What about you? Jeez it's been ages. There's so much for us to catch up on. You should totally come and check out New Orleans. How long will you be staying with my mom?"

Caroline could hear Leah's breathing pick up and said, "Not sure but if you really want me to come visit, I'd love it."

"Great. Want me to book you a flight for next week?" Caroline was so excited now. Her Le-Le was coming to visit.

"Let me think…Hells yeah!" Leah giggled into the phone.

"GREAT!" Caroline squealed into the phone. "I'll see you soon…oh and one more thing tell Mom to call me please."

"Will do Carebear. Love you!"

"Love you too Le-Le."

Caroline hung up with the biggest smile plastered to her face. "So I'm guessing long lost cousin coming for a visit?" Klaus asked looking up from his sketch. Caroline's face fell knowing she hadn't asked if it was okay. "I'm sorry Nik. I should have asked first."

Klaus shook his head and smiled and said, "No it's your home too and if you want her here I'll try to be welcoming."

"Oh I'm not worried about that. You'll love her. She's the best." Caroline cooed as she went to curl up beside him on the couch. "She's beautiful which does make me worry."

Klaus frowned, "How so?" Hoping she wasn't worried that he'd take a fancy for her cousin. He only had eyes for her.

"I worry she'll attract vampire attention. Like Marcel attention. Leah has been known to make a splash everywhere she goes." She giggles while continuing, "She's like you in that regard."

"Oh dear sweetheart. That is worrying if she's anything like me." They both laughed but then he got serious and said, "But don't worry. I'll keep her safe. She is after all your family, therefore, my family."

"Thank you Nik." Caroline leaned up to kiss him softly but soon it turned into something entirely different with Klaus scooping her up and vamp speeding into their bedroom.

Leah hung up the phone and sighed with relief. She'd be leaving Mystic Falls. She'd be even further away from him. Her whole body shook when she thought about it so she immediately pushed it out of her mind not wanting to dwell on such things. She was safe and he couldn't touch her again, right? Right. She pushed off the hall table and walked to her room knowing that she'd need the extra time to clean and get packed. She knew she wouldn't be leaving for a week but she still needed to clean up the guest room Liz had been letting her stay in. It was only right that she leave it the way she found it. She'd be pressed to get everything down before she left. She also wanted to clean the entire house as like payment for letting her live there. She believed Aunt Liz when she said she didn't mind having her but that didn't mean she couldn't clean up.

As she set to work cleaning and making supper, she also packed wanting to have most of it done so she could focus on cleaning the rest of the week. As she was taking the casserole out of the oven and turning it off she heard a soft tapping at the door. She went to the door humming and when she opened it there he stood. She screamed as she tried to close the door. But he used all his force to push it open. She tried to run but he grabbed her hair and tugged hard pulling her to the floor. Her body hit the hard wood floors with a thunk and it knocked the wind out of her.

"Please don't." She cried as he slammed the front door shut.

"Oh come on baby. You know you missed me." He said this as he started to unbuckle his pants.

"NO!" She screamed as she jumped up and took off running but she wasn't fast enough as he slammed her into the hall wall. He put his hands around her throat and squeezed tightly until she stopped thrashing against him.

"That's better you little slut." He laughed when she let out a whimper. Then for fun he slapped her across the face busting open her lip. "I didn't say you could make noise bitch."

"Mitch please." Leah begged. She felt her pride slipping as she concentrated on surviving and getting away from this crazy man.

"No baby. I'm going to take you into that room and ride you hard." Mitch chuckled when more tears fell down her face. He pulled her from the wall and shoved her hard towards the bedroom, laughing when she hit the side of the door. "Damn baby you sure are clumsy."

Leah struggled to stand her body hurting from mostly trying to get away, which meant most being self-inflicted. She walked into the room trying to find something to use as a weapon but before she could move he'd whipped her around and crushed his mouth to hers. She fought against his tongue's invasion feeling the bile rise up in her throat at his disgusting taste. She started to gag when he pulled away and a fist slammed into her face making her fall back onto the bed. She thought she might black out but she wasn't so lucky.

"Fucking bitch. Do that again and I'll make this hurt." Leah shuddered. If he wasn't trying to make it hurt then what would it feel like if he did. Leah felt the shameful tears run down her cheeks as he ripped off her pants and pulled her legs roughly apart. At this her panic really sat in as she starting hitting, kicking, clawing anything to get away from him. He only laughed at her weakness and pinned her to the bed. She let out a scream but he silenced it with his mouth. More tears ran down her face as he pulled away long enough to remove his pants and boxers. She tried to move away but he just pulled her back underneath him and shoved inside her.

"NO PLEASE! STOP!" She cried out as she sobbed uncontrollable. He just rutted away on top of her and she tried her best to block everything out to be numb so she wouldn't feel the animal raping her or the pain that flamed between her legs where he thrusted into her raw. At one point he pulled out and spit into his hand trying to gain some sort of lubrication. When he finished she felt a small amount of gratitude that he hadn't come inside her. He moved to stand by the bed and smiled down at her shivering form. "Oh don't think about running again you know I'll find you sweetheart and when I do I'll make it 10x worse. You can bet on it." He leaned down and kissed her on the mouth making her skin crawl with revulsion.

She watched him walk out and she let out the most painful sob that she didn't even know she'd been holding in. She pulled herself into a ball and cried. She didn't understand why the world kept doing this to her. What had she done that had been so horrible for her to have to endure such horrid acts of violence on her person? She knew she had to get away. She didn't care if he came after her or not. She couldn't stay knowing that he was here that he'd take her anytime he wanted it made her sick. She had to move. New Orleans here she comes.

Just to point out this sets up the rest of the story, so you understand more about of character Leah and what all has happened to her. There will be continuing flashbacks of violence and rape.

Obviously an established Klaroline relationship.
