The next evening Klaus and Kol walked into the grill to have a drink. They spotted Elena and her friends sitting at a table, while Stefan and Damon were playing pool nearby. Bonnie got up to order a drink from the bar.
"Hold on one second" the bartender said to her. She sat down to wait. Kol was already sitting down at the bar.
"Hello love, I'm Kol." He said to her trying to start a conversation. "Yeah... that's nice" Bonnie said sarcastically.
"Did I do something wrong?" He asked. She ignored him as she got her drink and left back to the table where her friends were at.
"What is wrong with these people? They're so rude here" he asked out loud. "That was embarrassing" Klaus said trying to mock him for yesterday when he said the same thing.
When Elena was held hostage by Klaus, Rose and Trevor had explained everything to her and the Salvatores. How the original family were very powerful vampires and Klaus was the most powerful because he was a hybrid. How he was trying to break his curse. And when she returned home that night, the gang started to brainstorm on what they could do. They figured that Katherine might could tell them more information about Klaus and his family. because at this point they were out of options. They planned for Bonnie to distract Kol and Caroline to distract Klaus, while Elena and Stefan went to go visit Katherine in the tomb. Damon was on standby for any surprises that might happen.
Bonnie had got up to go to the bathroom. Kol took the bait, he got up and followed her that way. He waited until she started to walk out of the bathroom.
"I'm sorry love.. I didn't quite catch your name earlier" kol said as Bonnie turned around.
"That's because I don't talk to people who try to kill my friends." She answered him.
"I don't want to kill your friends. That's my brother's doing." He replied.
"But you're okay with it." She said as she turned back around and started to walk away. He grabbed her arm.
"Yes. I want him to break his curse because he's my brother but I don't want your friend to die. In fact, I know a way or two to save Elena." He explained.
"You do?" Bonnie asked.
"Yeah, But I don't help people who are not my friends." He answered as he started to walk off.
"Okay." She said as Kol turned around. "I shouldn't have said all of that to you. It's not your fault, what your brother does. You were trying to be nice and I was rude...I'm sorry" she told him.
"Apology accepted." He said with a grin, grabbing her hand and escorting her to an empty table.
Klaus got up and left outside.
"Now where is he going?" Caroline thought to herself. She followed him outside keeping her distance. She saw him stalking a couple that were on an evening stroll.
"He's going to kill them." She thought. As soon as he looked like he was going to pounce, she vamped in front of him. "You're not about to eat them!" She yelled out.
This girl is so crazy for getting between me and my food, he thought to himself.
"And what do you expect me to eat." He asked her.
Caroline started to pull out blood bags out of her purse. "You can't be serious?!" He yelled out as soon as he noticed the bags.
"I might be dieing in your weird freakish cult sacrifice, but I'm not dead yet. And I'm not going to let you eat anybody here." She said as she held up the bag.
If she was anybody else, she would be dead. He didn't know why she wasn't afraid of him. Klaus just sighed and grabbed it out of her hand. Caroline had one for her too. They started walking beside each other, sipping on their blood bags.
"I do admire your bravery, dieing in my weird freakish sacrifice, as you called it." Klaus said trying to make conversation.
"It's not that I'm brave, it's more like I love my friends and family more than myself. And I heard how you like to track down the families of people who betray you." She explained.
Klaus turned and stared into her eyes. "So why aren't you afraid of me?" He asked trying to compel the truth out of her.
"Well first of all, I'm on vervain so you can't compel me. And second, I'm going to die anyways, why be afraid of you?" she answered.
"No before you knew all of that, you were kind of rude to me." Klaus mentioned.
"The person I fear the most is actually locked in a tomb, and you're not her so." She replied.
"Katerina?... you're afraid of Katerina?" He asked with a grin. He thought she was joking.
Caroline started to laugh, "Yeah she's like Elena's evil twin, she really creeps me out. Plus, she has killed me before." She told him.
Klaus smiled and said "But still it's Katerina... And she's actually getting out of the tomb"
"What?!" Caroline yelled out surprised.
"My witches are getting her out right now as we speak." He explained. "But don't worry love, I'm not going to let her roam the town. He still noticed the surprised look on her face. "And I've already informed her and everyone that you and Tyler are off limits."
Caroline wasn't afraid that he was getting her out of the tomb though. She was afraid for Elena and Stefan, who were going to have a talk with Katherine. If Klaus finds out that they were trying to get information out of Katherine, to try to get out of the sacrifice, who knows the consequences. She thought.
"Great." She replied trying to hide her worry.
"Well, I should actually go see if they have got her out now, Thanks for dinner" he said while handing her the empty bag.
"Wait!...Aren't you going to walk me home?" Caroline asked trying to stall him a little more.
"Sure." Klaus answered with a confused look. He was confused, why does she want me to walk her home? Does she feel safe with me? He was used to people fearing him not seeking protection. Or does she fancy me? He wondered to himself.
"It's such a nice night tonight." Caroline mentioned to break the silence. He must think I'm an idiot. I'm trying to be friendly with Klaus. The most powerful and evil vampire in the world. She thought to herself.
"It's very quiet." He replied. Klaus wasn't used to being friendly. He always had to be the bad guy. And when it came to women, he was always with the wild ones, who was just as bad as he was. Not someone like Caroline, who was good and cared about humans.
They were mostly quiet on the walk home. Both just enjoying the peacefulness in each other's company. When they got to the house they said their goodbyes and Klaus vamped off. Caroline went to Elena's house right away to see if they were there.
"As soon as we got there we notice they were getting Katherine out of the tomb. We still need to find a way to talk to her." Elena explained.
"I was so worried when Klaus told me his witches were getting her out, I thought you and Stefan was going to get caught." Caroline said relieved.
"Yeah, so tell us how that went." Bonnie said.
Caroline laughed. "There's nothing to say. He was going to eat this couple. I made him eat a blood bag instead." She answered.
"I think Kol is kind of hot." Bonnie replied.
"Bonnie Bennett" Elena yelled out laughing.
"What? He's really nice too. He told me that there was this magical elixir you can drink right before the sacrifice. He said that Elijah was going to use it on Katherine before she ran off." Bonnie explained.
"Can he get some?" Elena asked.
"He said he would help me, so yeah probably." Bonnie answered.
"That's great." Caroline said as the girls hugged.
"We still need to talk to Katherine." Elena mentioned. "It's not just me, its Tyler and Caroline that we need to save too." She added on while reaching for Caroline's hand to hold.
Klaus walked in to his house. "And where have you been" Kol asked him.
"I went for a bite." He answered him. Klaus had heard Elijah talking to Katherine in the basement.
Rose and Trevor was also down there. Elijah had compelled them to not leave. Katherine was begging for them not to leave her down there. She knew Rose and Trevor hated her for what she did to them.
"They'll kill me." Katherine yelled out.
"And I compelled them not to. I believe my brother is not done punishing you yet." Elijah told her looking at Klaus.
"Oh I'm going to make this last for atleast 500 years." Klaus said with his evil smirk.
Klaus spent all night torturing Katherine. He hung her upside down, stabbing her and whipping her. Rose and Trevor just watched wondering if they were next. Klaus was enjoying watching her suffer. By the end, she was begging to be killed.
The next day Caroline walked into the grill looking for Matt. Klaus had been there Relaxing and reading a newspaper. He felt Caroline walk in.
"Hey Matt" she said.
"I'm busy Care. I don't have time for your lies." Matt said before he walked away. Caroline just found the closest empty chair and sat down. The chair happened to be near Klaus.
"Oh...I give up." She said to herself while letting out a big sigh and putting her head down.
Of course Klaus had to say something. "What is this drama happening in front of me?" He said while folding up his newspaper.
Caroline looked at him, just now realizing he was across from her. "Nothing...it's just my love life crumbling. I don't know what I was thinking even trying. He doesn't even know what I am." She explained.
"Secrets are never good, Caroline." Klaus Replied
"Like you even understand, you probably never cared about anyone enough to have a serious relationship." She said to him.
"Well... I've had my fair share of heartbreak" he replied.
"Really?" She asked.
"Before Katerina ran off. Yes. Relationships are really overrated, if you ask me" he told her.
"Yes! They are." She agreed as she took a couple fries off his plate that had been sitting there for awhile. "I mean, why does everything have to be difficult?" She added on.
This girl really has no manners, taking my fries right off my plate. He thought to himself. Klaus just listened to Caroline go on and on about her and Matt's relationship. He was amused at how comfortable she seemed around him. And now she was confiding in him for relationship advice. Usually Klaus would careless about love drama. But now that he has found Katherine and he has everything he needs to break his curse, he had time.
"And I can't tell him that I'm a vampire. So I have to keep lieing." She said as she was finishing her story.
"So now you can't be your true self around him. Is that really what you want?" He asked her.
Caroline didn't really know how to answer that question. Because she cared about Matt but wanted an honest relationship.
"Wow, maybe you're not just an old evil vampire monster." She told him as she realized maybe he had a point.
"No. I still am.. you just caught me in a good mood." Klaus replied with a smile. Suddenly she got a text from a Elena to meet at her house.
"You can't just go into the lions den." Damon said to Elena.
"Yeah the place is crawling with vampires." Bonnie chimes in.
"I've got to get in there and talk to Katherine somehow" Elena explained.
The gang was trying to think of a plan to sneak into Klaus's house. Kol had told Bonnie that Katherine was stuck in the basement. The full moon was near, so they had no time to lose.
"How about a party? In their house. And then you can sneak down there." Caroline suggested.
"No...that's too obvious. We would never throw them a party." Elena said.
"Ooo how about you do something really bad...that Klaus feels he should lock you up in the basement too." Caroline said.
"Hey blondie might be on to something." Damon said.
"Yeah, like he feels that I'm going to do something stupid. So he has to keep me in his basement. To keep a watch on me" Elena added on to the idea.
So that was the plan. Now they just had to figure out what they we're going to do.
