I own nothing...
"Hey I don't like being on babysitting duty," Caroline said to a sulking Elena. "My brothers are too stubborn and don't want me using my contacts to get them out of this." Caroline was flipping through a magazine.
"You mean Elijah?" Elena asked and Caroline didn't look up.
"I do know some other people," Caroline told her, "Witches and stuff, but no Stefan and Damon want to handle it all. They are less then 150 years old and I am over 500 years, who is the voice of experience?"
"They always do think they know whats best for you," Elena said picking up another magazine and began to read it. "So what does Klaus look like?" Caroline couldn't stop the smile from forming on her face.
"Well hot, for one thing," Caroline started and Elena rolled her eyes. "Tall. Curly blond hair, the last time I saw him it was a little long. Dark blue eyes, sexy accent, and he has the cutest..."
"Can I get some help down here?" Jenna called out cutting Caroline off. The girls put the magazines down and found Jenna pulling boxes out of the closet. Elena was shocked to see Elijah when Jenna closed the door. She gasped.
"Hey I'm Elijah," He said casually.
"This is my niece Elena, and her friend Caroline Salvatore," Jenna said introducing them.
"Nice to meet you Elena." Elijah said shaking her hand. "And always a pleasure Caroline."
"You know each other?" Jenna said gesturing between Elijah and Caroline.
"She has an on again off again relationship with my brother," Elijah told Jenna and then faced Caroline. "I am sorry about our little spat earlier. I was wrong. I have have a lot on my mind that's all."
"I know." Caroline said and then Jenna offered to help Elijah with the boxes but he said he would pick them up tomorrow.
"Nice to meet you Elena," Elijah said, "Caroline, I hope to see the both of you sometime soon." The girls nodded.
"He is probably waiting upstairs," Caroline whispered to Elena.
"Is Jeremy safe?" Elena asked and Caroline nodded. The girls made their way up the stairs and sure enough Elijah was sitting in her window seat.
"I think it is time we had a little chat," Elijah said.
K&C
"Hello?" A voice called out. Katherine and Stefan made their way to the front of the tomb. Standing there was an African American girl with a smirk on her face.
"Who are you?" Stefan asked.
"The girl who just freed you," She said and waved her hand, "The spell is lifted." Stefan tentatively walked out and Katherine followed.
"Why did you do this?" Stefan asked.
"I owed Caroline a favor," The girl said and walked away leaving the two standing there.
"That was one of Klaus's witches," Katherine said breaking the silence.
K&C
"I know Caroline has caught you up on some things," Elijah said to the two girls, "Klaus is the most hated and feared of the Originals but everyone wants his favor and approval."
"Yeah Caroline told me there will be a line of vampires coming for me," Elena said and then asked, "Are you here to take me to him?"
"No," Elijah said, "My goal is not to break the curse."
"I can't hear this," Caroline said and tried to leave but Elijah blocked her path.
"Sit down Caroline, please," Elijah said and Caroline sat down on the bed.
"What is your goal exactly?" Elena asked.
"Klaus is very paranoid and trusts those only in his inner circle," Elijah replied.
"Like you?" Elena said.
"Not anymore," Elijah said shaking his head.
"You don't know where he is do you?" Elena asked. "So you're trying to use me."
"Well both of you," Elijah said looking at Caroline, "I am hoping that Klaus's affection for Miss Caroline will make him come out of hiding. If not then yes I will use you to draw him out. Unless someone warns him." He directed the last statement to Caroline.
"My loyalty is to my brothers," Caroline said, "If they want to kill Klaus I will help them."
"Glad to hear it," Elijah said.
"Is he telling me the truth?" Elena asked Caroline, "Or is he going to take me to Klaus?"
"Elijah and Klaus hate each other," Caroline replied, "If you want to go up against Klaus you need all the allies you can get, and Elijah is someone you would want on your team."
"And in exchange for your cooperation I am prepared to offer you a deal," Elijah said, "Stefan and Damon are already safe thanks to the deal Klaus and I made with Caroline. But I can make sure that the rest of your friends remained unharmed."
"How?" Elena asked.
"Witches," Caroline answered for him.
"Correct, so I need you to stop fighting and go on living your life," Elijah said to Elena, "When the time is right we will draw Klaus out and I will kill him."
"Just like that," Elena said and a voice interrupted them
"Elena!" Jenna's voice called, "Stefan is here!" Elena and Elijah looked at Caroline.
"I know witches too," Caroline said shrugging.
"Do we have a deal Elena?" Elijah said and Elena nodded. "Walk with me Caroline."
"I'll see you later Elena," Caroline said and the two jumped out the window and disappeared into the night. Caroline heard Stefan and Elena making up and was glad she missed him. She knew he was going to be giving her an earful when he got home.
K&C
"I told you I can't draw him out," Caroline said for what seemed like the 50th time, "Klaus always finds me. Besides it has been nearly 10 years..."
"Caroline." Elijah said sternly.
"Fine," Caroline said rolling her eyes, "It was 2008. We spent a month together and then he left. And again he found me. I am not in his inner circle, not when I consult with you too."
"If anyone could find out how to get in touch with him you could," Elijah argued, "I know how much he enjoys you."
"Not enough to come out of hiding," Caroline told him.
"You care about him Caroline," Elijah said, "Don't pretend different." Caroline sighed.
"I like the attention he gives me," Caroline admitted, "Back in 1492 Katerina was so beautiful, but he chose me to keep him company when he could have had her. Even if he was just courting her to kill her. Look what good that did me. Katerina turned me into a vampire, smothered me in my sleep to get back at me."
"Yet you stayed with her," Elijah pointed out.
"I had no where else to go," Caroline said, "Katerina was a master manipulator. I figured I was better off with her then on my own. I thought Klaus was coming to kill me too."
"Who have you told?" Elijah asked changing the subject, "Who have you told the truth to about the curse?"
"Just Stefan," Caroline replied, "After you threatened to rip my head off I didn't want to risk telling anyone else."
"Keep it that way," Elijah said, "The others will know the truth in time. Have you told them how to kill an Original?"
"Yes," Caroline said, "I need to protect them, but Klaus has all the daggers. There is only one left out there and I am not sure who has it."
"Caroline..." Elijah said.
"I had to protect them." Caroline said, "My family died when I was 15 and I was sent to work for the Petrova's. In 1864 I met Stefan and Damon and I loved them instantly. They are my family. They come first for me."
"What about Elena?" Elijah asked.
"If it comes down to protecting them or protecting her, I will pick my brothers," Caroline answered, "Even if they aren't related by blood."
"So are you willing to draw Klaus out if I need you too?" Elijah asked.
"I don't think I can." Caroline said, "He doesn't..."
"What about this then, hmm?" Elijah said cutting her off and pointing to her necklace, "Klaus told you how to walk in the day. He had never told anyone that. You underestimate his feelings for you."
"I don't want to be Klaus bait," Caroline said, "I just want my brothers to be safe."
"They will be." Elijah said.
"You can't promise that anymore," Caroline said softly, "Klaus will kill us all."
K&C
"Caroline thank god," Damon said as soon as she walked through the door, "Where have you been?"
"With Elena," Caroline said, "What's wrong?"
"How do you cure a werewolf bite?" Damon asked, "There has to be a cure."
"Did you get bit?" Caroline asked looking her brother over.
"No, Rose did," Damon replied, "Is there a way?"
"Yes, but I can't get it," Caroline said, "I'm sorry Damon."
"What do you mean you can't get it?" Damon asked.
"Klaus's blood is the cure," Caroline said putting a hand on his arm, "To get his blood we would have to draw him out, and most likely he wouldn't give it to her anyway. I'm sorry."
"Me too," Damon said and Caroline hugged him. Damon hugged her back. Caroline was the only person he ever let his guard down around.
"End it Damon," Caroline said, "She is in so much pain." Damon nodded and held her for a moment longer before letting go.
"Do you remember when we met?" Caroline asked Damon as they sat on his bed. Rose had just been put to rest and Stefan was off doing who knows what. Caroline knew she needed to keep an eye on Damon so he didn't do anything dumb.
"Yes," Damon said smiling, "You arrived not long after Katherine did."
"I was your date to the Founders Party and watched you pout all night because Katherine chose Stefan," Caroline said and Damon nudged her.
"Jealous?" Damon said and Caroline snorted.
"Please, the moment I met you I knew we would have nothing more then friendship," Caroline said, "Besides Klaus ruined American men for me. It seems I am only attracted to men with accents, and you don't have one."
"Did you love him?" Damon asked. "It is okay to tell me. I am the last person to judge about falling in love with the wrong person." Caroline didn't say anything for a long time.
"I don't hate him." Caroline finally said, "And I will feel sad after he is dead." To Damon's shock a tear fell down her cheek.
"Caroline?" Damon said and she shook her head.
"It's nothing, I'm fine," Caroline said and wiped her eyes. Damon noticed a diamond bracelet on her wrist.
"That's pretty," Damon said pointing to her bracelet.
"Thank you," Caroline said with a sniff, "No matter how I feel, I am on your side. I will help you protect Elena." Caroline put her head on his shoulder and Damon put his arm around her. Damon kissed the top of her head and they sat like that for a long time.
"Isn't this touching," A voice from the doorway said.
P&R
"Okay I'm outside," Caroline said into the phone and Elena greeted her at the door.
"Hey come on in," Elena said, "How's Damon?"
"On Katherine watch," Caroline told her, "I am sorry she got unleashed too, but it was the only way to free Stefan." Bonnie had spelled it so Katherine couldn't leave the house so it was like she was in a different tomb, but this one had blood. They promised to free her if she was able to prove she was on their side, at least about this.
"Is he going to be okay around her?" Elena asked.
"I just did my normal I will tell Klaus where you are if you mess with him threat," Caroline said with a shrug.
"I thought you said you don't know where he is?" Elena said.
"I don't," Caroline said with a smirk, "But if I asked him to kill someone he would." Caroline entered the kitchen and saw John Gilbert standing there. Before anyone could blink she had him against the wall his arm twisted painfully around his back.
"No ring John?" Caroline said, "Good so I can really kill you. What did I say? Stefan and Damon were off limits. You are not to touch them do you understand?" John didn't say anything so Caroline slammed him against the wall again. "Do you?"
"Yes," John grunted and Caroline let him go.
"Isobel around?" Caroline asked causally, "I have a bone to pick with her too."
"No she sent me instead," John replied.
"You seriously think you are going to be able to help find him?" Caroline said raising an eyebrow. "You are human and Isobel is a baby. You don't find Klaus. He finds you."
"She has contact with someone in his inner circle," John told her. Caroline snorted.
"What part of inner circle to do not get?" Caroline said, "They will not betray him. How stupid are you? Watch your step John, mess with my family and I will rip your head off. Or better yet..." Caroline walked closer and whispered in his ear, "When Klaus shows up I will tell him you hurt my feelings. Your death will be slow and painful."
"Elena," John said looking at his daughter.
"Don't do that," Caroline said standing in front of her, "Help or die. Betray us and I will lock you up and then you will have Klaus to deal with."
"Let him be Caroline," Elena said just as Jenna entered the kitchen.
K&C
"So I heard you scared the crap out of John Gilbert," Damon said to Caroline as they all entered the grill. "Something about having Klaus kill him?"
"If I asked Klaus to kill someone he would," Caroline said with a shrug. "Sorry Elena."
"He should be scared," Elena said.
"I think you two can handle this," Caroline said, "I better go check on Katherine."
"Okay see you," Damon said and Caroline kissed his cheek. Once she walked out her phone rang. Seeing is was an unknown number said hesitantly,
"Hello?"
"Hello love," The voice on the other end said.
"Klaus," Caroline said trying to hide the shock in her voice, "What can I help you with?"
"Just want to talk," Klaus said and Caroline rolled her eyes.
"Talk, sure," Caroline said coming to her car, "It has been two years..."
"Excuse me." A voice said and Caroline turned and saw a women standing in front of her.
"Hold on," Caroline said into the phone she looked back at the women, "Hello, do you need something?"
"I'm looking for a boy named Tyler," She said.
"I'm new in town I don't know anyone really," Caroline said, "Sorry." She put the phone back to her ear when a man came and shot her in the head. The sound of the gunshot did not go unnoticed by the person on the phone.
"Caroline!" Klaus said but got no response. "Caroline!"
…...
What did you think?
Okay so Greta was the person she called.
This is going to go into an AU plot, but Klaus needs to become a hybrid first.
So I have been reading some Klaus/Caroline comments and a lot of people are wishing for Tyler to die. Even hard core Delena fans aren't wishing for Stefan's death! JM is very pro Klaroline while CA seems totally against it. Who do we listen too?
