Thanks for reading. Gets a little dark here. You have been warned. Still no beta!
Caroline's head was still spinning. She could still feel the pain in her arm. She could hear voices as her eyes were still closed. She knew if she opened them, he wouldn't be there. She felt someone carry her and place her on something soft.
"Can't you just give her some vampire blood so she can heal? You broke her arm Stefan" Elena said
"She's team Klaus right now, I don't think giving her vampire blood is a good idea. She might go kill herself and then try to save him" Damon said
"Damon's right. We don't know why she feels such loyalty to him. She's not a hybrid" Stefan said
"She's messed up in the head. She was in the state hospital" Elena said
"So she's really crazy. That could explain why she's all team Klaus. Probably too many drugs or not enough drugs" Damon said
"Damon! Klaus must have seriously done something to her. We grew up together. She's my friend and she needs my help." Elena said
"She doesn't need help. She needs a lobotomy"
"Look, we'll take her to the hospital and make sure she's ok" Stefan said
Caroline awoke hours later. She tried to move her arm and noticed it was was in a cast. She sat up slowly and touched her neck. There was a bandage on it. She looked around trying to figure out where she was. She heard voices downstairs and slowly got out of bed and opened the door. She could hear Elijah talking to Elena downstairs.
"I won't wake him within your lifetime, or your children's lifetimes. Perhaps it'll teach him some manners" Elijah said
Caroline covered her mouth with her other hand not in the cast. Elijah was going to get Klaus's body back but he wouldn't release him. If Elijah kept his word then Klaus would be revived long after she died. The feeling of hopelessness sank in. She was alone in the world again. She knew that no one would turn her now. She closed the door and sat back down on the bed. She tried to think of something, anything.
Caroline found herself walking alone on the street. She was walking towards a familiar place. She looked up and saw the familiar white picket fence. She smiled when she saw it. It was home. She looked up and saw that her house was no longer there. Instead it had been demolished to the ground. They had left the debris there. She tried not to cry as she walked towards what was left of her home. There was nothing there for her.
She truly had no where to go. She fell to the ground, picking up pieces of her house. She remembered the last time she was there.
"Caroline you have to run" Liz said
"What? No!"
"I saved up some money, you can have it. Take it and run. Carol will be after you. I can't protect you much longer"
"No, I can't just leave"
"You have to! You killed her son. She won't stop until she has you"
"I'm sorry mom, for everything"
"It's ok, just go, go before they find you!"
Caroline hugged her mom and ran towards the door. She only made it down the steps of her house before she was stopped by several men standing there waiting for her. Liz came out and saw what was happening. She pulled out her gun.
"Caroline get back in the house" Liz said
"Come with us Caroline" the man said
"No, get out of my way" Caroline said
"I'm afraid we can't let you go. You and Mrs Lockwood have an appointment"
"She can go to hell"
"Caroline get back into the house!" Liz yelled
Caroline slowly backed away from the men.
"Don't move" the man yelled
Caroline froze and looked back at her mom. It seemed that moment lasted forever in her mind. In a second the men shot her mother. Liz fell to the ground and Caroline ran towards her. But arms and hands reached out and grabbed her. They held her back, pulling her away.
"Mom! MOM!" Caroline screamed
The men dragged her into the backseat of a car while she was screaming. The rest of the town had came out to see what was happening. And they just watched as they dragged Caroline away.
Caroline was holding the numbers to her house. She dropped it to the ground. There truly was nothing left for her. She got up slowly and turned around. And standing there was Matt.
"Caroline, what are you doing here?" Matt asked
"Out for a walk" Caroline said walking past him
"I mean what are you doing with Klaus?"
"He saved me"
"You mean he took you"
"No, he saved me from that horrible place. That horrible place that you all knew I didn't belong in!"
"No you didn't belong there. You didn't deserve any of this"
"I didn't, but he saved me. And I owe him everything"
"Do you hear yourself? Klaus is a monster. He's killed people. He killed Elena's aunt Jenna. He's forced werewolves to become hybrids so they can be his slaves. He tried to kill Elena! How can you be so loyal to him?"
"You wouldn't understand!"
"Try me!"
"You don't know what it was like to be there! To be trapped there! That horrible place! They did things to me. Terrible things. Things that no person should have to ever go through."
"I'm sorry for what happened to you"
"I don't want your pity! What I want is to know how to break the spell on him"
"I can't tell you that"
"So you know"
"No, I don't. I just know there is a way"
"Tell me!"
"No! I can't, you'll let him back into the world. He'll try to kill Elena again."
"It's always Elena this, Elena that. Some things never change"
"Caroline, you have your life back, don't ruin it by trying to release him"
"I don't expect you to understand, he's everything to me. Even after he knew what I had done. Even after what had been done to me, he still wanted me. After everything he wanted me still."
Damon walked through the hallways of the storage building. He was on the phone with Bonnie who was driving there on her own.
"So hurry up already. Speed limits are only suggestions." Damon said
"Not all of us are undead vampires" Bonnie replied back
"Well hurry up, shove the witchy gps in him so we can get rid of him already" Damon said
"I'll be there soon" Bonnie hung up
Damon turned around and saw Caroline standing there with her arm still in a cast and a bandage on her neck.
"Well cmon blondie, we don't have all day for this" Damon said
Caroline followed him until he opened the door to a storage room. Inside was a coffin. Caroline pushed past him and ran to it. She tried to open it with her one arm. Damon watched her for a second and tried not to laugh. He walked over and opened the coffin easily. Caroline looked over and saw Klaus laying there with his eyes closed, wrapped in chains.
"One beef jerkified Original" Damon said
Klaus opened his eyes and looked at them.
"Creepy" Damon said
Caroline reached her hand out and touched his face.
"You can hear me?" Caroline asked
Klaus could only blink.
"He can hear you, and that's about all he can do. His heart stopped, his blood stopped flowing and it feels like sandpaper in his veins right now. A great way to spend eternity"
"Shut up! No one asked you!"
"It's not everyday you get to appreciate this view"
"Get out!"
"Make me"
Caroline pulled out the vervain in her cast and shoved it hard against Damon's face. He screamed out as it burned his flesh. He stumbled back and looked up at her. He grabbed her neck and had her off the ground next to the coffin. Klaus lay there helpless as he watched.
"I could just kill you easily, drain you completely in front of him"
"You could but Elena would never forgive you" Caroline choked out
Damon let her fall onto the ground and started to walk away.
"You're already crippled anyways, there's no fun in that"
Caroline stood up holding her neck. She looked back at Klaus who lay there, looking at her with concern in his eyes.
"i'm ok, really"
Klaus looked at her neck and her arm.
"They won't give me vampire blood to heal. They think I'm going to kill myself or something"
Klaus cursed at himself mentally. He should have given her his blood before all this happened. He should have turned her before this happened. And here he was lying there helpless unable to do anything for her. He didn't even explain the process of becoming a vampire to her.
"I don't know how to break this spell on you. They won't tell me. I'm sorry that I can't save you. I can't even save myself"
Caroline climbed into the coffin with him. She laid on top of him, resting her head on his chest. She heard no heartbeat.
"I don't know what to do now. I don't know where they're taking you. I don't know anything. I guess I'm just human, and I can't do anything."
Caroline sighed as she lay there. Klaus tried to inhale her scent in. She moved closer to him.
"Elijah made a deal with Elena. They're giving him your body back. But he gave his word that he wouldn't release you until after her children's lifetimes. I'll be dead by then."
Klaus looked down at her. Her blonde hair sprawled out against his chest. Elijah had betrayed him. He had brokered a deal to get his body back, but he would be trapped like this for at least a century or so. Time for him would move slowly in his state. And worst of all, Caroline wouldn't be there when he was released. He had to figure out a way to escape.
"I miss you already Klaus. I don't know what's going to happen to me. I'm scared. You said you'd protect me, but I know you can't anymore. You saved me once, and I'm so grateful that you did"
Caroline lifted her head up to look at him.
"I never did thank you for that. Saving me. Getting me out of there. Making me feel normal again. I wish I could have done the same for you"
Caroline placed her hand on his face and kissed him. His body was no longer warm but cold. Klaus couldn't kiss her back. He could only blink.
"Thank you for saving me, Klaus. I'll never forget you. I hope you don't forget me."
Klaus looked at her wondering what she was doing. She leaned down and kissed him again, peppering his face with her kisses.
"I hate that they did this to you. And I couldn't do anything to stop it. I hate this feeling that I can't do anything. I wish you were you again. I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to stop it."
Klaus looked at her trying to tell her it wasn't her fault. That none of it was her fault. He wanted to say all these things to her, but he couldn't. He was trapped in his own body.
"Elijah won't turn me. Rebekah hates me, and Kol ran off somewhere. Elijah said it wouldn't be proper to turn me, after all I am yours. And if you didn't turn me there had to be a reason for it. I would have waited for you, until I was old and grey and had no teeth left. Course that wouldn't have been very attractive. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want anything to do with me."
Klaus couldn't believe what she was saying. He'd love her no matter what. But he knew that when Elijah did release him, Caroline would have lived out her human life and be gone. He regretted not turning her sooner.
"I love you Klaus, and I wanted to spend forever with you. And in your case forever really is forever. But everyone in the world won't let us be together. I guess that's my punishment for killing Tyler. But it doesn't matter anymore. I'm taking control of my life"
Caroline pulled out of her cast a small razor blade. Klaus looked at her.
"No one's going to tell me what to do anymore. They're not going to tell me what I can and can't do. They're not going to tell me anything. Because I'll be with you."
Caroline slit the wrist that was in the cast and then slit her other wrist. The blood started to pour out of her. She laid down onto his body again. Klaus was horrified that she was doing this. He wanted to yell at her, tell her to stop, that she should live her human life. She should try to be happy. But all he could do was blink. The smell of her blood was overwhelming.
"I'm sorry Klaus, I can't do this without you. I'm not a coward for doing this. I just want to be with you"
The blood splattered in the coffin. It fell onto his face. Caroline started to feel dizzy. She placed her hand on his face, studying it for the last time.
"I wanted my last moments to be with you. You saved me once. I'm sorry I couldn't save you. I really did love you"
Klaus was frantic, trapped in his body he was unable to do anything. He didn't have his own blood to heal her. He couldn't say anything to her, but his eyes tried to tell her that he loved her and that she had to live.
Caroline's hand moved again and her bleeding wrist fell near his mouth. Her body felt heavy and she started to feel sleepy.
"I know you said you wouldn't bite me, but you can now. It doesn't matter now"
Caroline closed her eyes as her head lay on his chest. Klaus could taste her blood on his lips. He could hear her heart slowing down. This couldn't be happening. Where was that idiot Damon? Why wasn't he here? Klaus felt her blood going down his throat. He moved his lips and his fangs sunk into her flesh. He started to get feeling back in his body. He struggled to free his arm from the chains. He could hear her heart beat becoming slower and slower. Klaus pulled his arm free from the chains and grabbed onto her.
"Caroline" he choked out
He pulled his other arm out of the chains and then pulled himself up and sat up in the coffin. He looked at the wound on her wrists. He licked them to see if her heart was still beating. He tore into his own wrist and shoved it into her mouth.
"Please, be alive"
Klaus hoped his blood would reach her system before she died. The door to the storage room opened and Bonnie walked in.
"What the hell?" Bonnie said
Klaus flashed over to her, covered her mouth and held her still.
"Not a sound" Klaus said
Bonnie nodded.
"You will heal her" Klaus said
Bonnie didn't understand. Klaus released her and flashed back to her with Caroline in his arms.
"What did you do to her?" Bonnie asked
"Nothing, she tried to kill herself. Now save her"
"I can't"
"Save her now"
"i'm a witch not a doctor"
"She's the only thing standing between me and your wretched little town. Save her or you can experience what I can really do"
Bonnie reached over and touched Caroline's arm. She felt nothing.
"She's gone"
"Then use your witchy powers to save her"
"It doesn't work like that"
"Then make it work like that, or I will decorate your lawn with the bodies of those you hold dearest to you"
"I tried this once, and it sorta worked, but he sees dead people now"
"I don't care, save her, now"
"Fine"
Bonnie walked out and Klaus followed her carrying Caroline. They walked along the hallway and realized that the doors to the storage rooms were open. They saw Damon laying on the ground. Klaus grabbed Bonnie and they flashed out of the storage building into the car. Alaric was around looking for him.
Bonnie started driving while Klaus held Caroline in his arms in the backseat. Bonnie looked at the mirror and saw how delicate Klaus was being with Caroline.
"Is that Caroline?" Bonnie asked
Klaus looked up at her.
"Drive" Klaus commanded
"What are you doing with Caroline?"
"I'm trying to save her, maybe you should do the same too"
Bonnie entered the room that the witches once spoke to her in. She had come here before with Jeremy. The witches had saved him but there were consequences. Klaus carried Caroline in and set her on the floor. He looked around.
"So do your witchy thing" Klaus said
"It doesn't work like that. They don't talk to me anymore"
"Well they better start"
"Will you stop with the threats?"
"I don't care what you have to do, just do it to save her."
"Why do you care about her so much?"
"She's mine"
"She's a person"
"She's still mine, now save her!"
"Why didn't you turn her before"
"Because you all showed up and dessicated me before I could!"
Suddenly the candles in the room lit up. Bonnie looked around and could hear them.
"They're here, and they don't like you." Bonnie said
"I don't care how they feel. Save her! I will destroy this pathetic town and everyone in it if you don't save her."
Bonnie looked around as the voices were talking to her. She was trying to understand what they were all saying.
"She's no longer in the land of the living. She's crossing over now." Bonnie said
"Then go get her and bring her back!"
"I can't! In order to go to the land of the dead, you have to be dead"
"I can arrange that" Klaus said as he approached Bonnie
Bonnie tried to use her magic on him, but it had no affect on him.
"You're going to have to try another parlour trick" Klaus said
Bonnie was backed up against the wall. Klaus reached and grabbed onto her neck.
"You go find her and bring her back to me" Klaus said as his grip on her neck was getting tighter.
"No, stop, please" Bonnie begged
"Bring her back to me"
"Stop!" a female voice said from behind
Klaus and Bonnie looked over and saw that it was Emily Bennett standing there.
"You will release her now" Emily said
"And why would I do that?" Klaus asked
"If you want her back you'll do as I say" Emily said
"Emily?" Bonnie asked
Klaus released Bonnie. Bonnie walked over to Emily. She reached out to touch her, but her hand went through. She was a ghost.
"This human girl, why does she mean so much to you?" Emily asked
"She's mine" Klaus said
"She's just a toy then?" Emily asked
"No, she's not a toy. Just bring her back" Klaus said
"Why?"
"Because!"
"Because what?!"
"Because I love her!"
"Vampires do not love. You are incapable of love"
"Just bring her back. She deserves to live"
"And what if I told you there is a spell where her life would be tied to yours? That you would no longer be immortal?"
"Do it, bring her back"
Emily raised her eyebrow at him and then looked at Bonnie. Emily then disappeared. Klaus looked around the room wondering where she went. She re-appeared a few minutes later. Klaus was holding Caroline in his arms. Her body had grown cold.
"Everything will be alright sweetheart" Klaus said as he kissed her forehead
Bonnie watched the bizarre scene in front of her. She wasn't sure what to make of it. She sat on the floor waiting. Emily stood infront of Bonnie.
"Do not be afraid of him. He is not immortal" Emily said
"What?" Bonnie asked
"Do not be afraid" Emily said
Klaus looked up and saw Emily standing there.
"Where is she?" Klaus asked
"She is not in the land of the living, and she is not in the land of the dead" Emily said
"What the hell does that mean?" Klaus asked
"She's in between"
Yes I left it there!
yes it got a bit dark cause Caroline did try to kill herself. people reading this please do not try to kill yourself, please seek professional help and stuff. there's my disclaimer.
