Hi again! Thank you so much over the enthusiasm over my first chapter. It really put me in a good mood. As previously stated, reviews are desired and appreciated. So this is chapter 2, hope you enjoy it! I don't own The Vampire Diaries.

Chapter 2

And then there she was. His Caroline.

They stood staring at each other. Caroline went to step through the doorway, but was blocked by an invisible force. Klaus almost stomped his foot in frustration.

"Marcel, if you would be so kind, mate."

So this was the Marcel the witch had been so afraid of.

Marcel nodded, and a few seconds later one of his club brought forward a middle-aged woman, obviously human. He looked her right in the eye, and Caroline saw his pupils dilate.

"Why don't you invite the nice lady in?" He said quietly. The woman nodded and walked over to the door. "Please, come in dear." Caroline smiled and thanked her. She walked in, until she was only a foot away from Klaus. Marcel sensed the atmosphere.

"Alright, let's go back; leave Klaus a moment with his friend." His groupies followed him back to the lounge without question, but not without throwing a few suspicious glances towards the blonde.

"Caroline." Klaus whispered leaning his forehead against hers, breathing in her scent. He took her hand in his. "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"Enlighten me."

"You." He smiled, leaning back. "You're going to have to explain more, love. Perhaps you'd like to accompany me, on a tour of my new town?"

Caroline laughed, she hadn't realized she missed his old-fashioned speech so much.

"But Niklaus, I would be delighted." She replied with a smirk.

She didn't miss the glance he threw over his shoulder to make sure they weren't being followed.

"So love, what brings you here from Mystic Falls and… Tyler?"

Caroline grimaced. "Well, things have gone really weird back home."

Klaus looked at the ground. Idiot, of course that's why she's here. She and her little gang need your help again. Caroline seemed to know what he was thinking and squeezed his hand reassuringly. "It's just Stefan's been acting really weird, we all thought he was leaving, but he came back. Jeremy's back to and nobody knows how, he gets really uncomfortable when we ask him, just mumbles 'Bonnie did a spell' and speaking of which", she paused for breath, "Bonnie's gone AWOL, she just left and didn't tell anyone. Elena and Damon are too busy making eyes at each other to notice, Stefan doesn't seem to care, and Tyler…" She sighed. "He's changed." Klaus let the tiny bubble of hope rise again. "Changed… how?"

"He's become so… resentful. He almost had a fit when he found out Matt was gone travelling with the she-devil, no offense." She added quickly. Klaus shook his head indicating it didn't matter. So his baby sister was off with the busboy? That was news to him.

Caroline stopped walking and turned to face him. She took a deep breath. "I missed you."

"What?" He choked out.

"I missed you! Okay? I felt lost, alone and Tyler just didn't give a crap, He was too busy plotting his revenge. We tried, I tried to make it work, but he seemed to know that I had moved on, even before I did, and I just… left." She finished looking at the ground. "I told Elena that I was travelling, visiting relations. Mom thinks I'm with Bonnie where ever the hell that is."

"If I'm perfectly honest Caroline, I'm still trying to process that you missed me."

"You said it yourself, small town boy, small town life…"

He grinned and picked her up. She laughed as he spun her around. When they stopped, He reached out and stroked her cheek. He let out the breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding.

"There's something I need to tell you."
