Hey Guys!

Sorry That it took so long to update, just moved and well enough said...

So Here's the next chapter, I'm going to take it up from where I left off and then jumped to the episode 18, please don't hate me. I wanted to find a way around doing episode 17- not a lot of Klaroline and plus all the things Caroline says to Klaus. But I couldn't think of a way to do it, since Bonnie's life is in danger and Caroline is always there for her friends.

So don't hate me ... If you don't remember what happened in that episode here's a little recap down below. If you do then continue to the story. Hope you enjoy.

Recap: Caroline goes over to the Salvatore Boarding House to help clean up the mess left over from Elena's party. Klaus comes over and Caroline talks about Tyler while she sips half filled cups of beer. Stefan informs them about silas and Bonnie, they go to Shane's old office and look for clues. Caroline finds a book about the expression triangle and finds out that 12 witches need to be killed. Bonnie plans to kill the witches during the ''cleansing'' of her expression. Caroline and Klaus go off together to find the location, the get into a little fight. Klaroline finds Bonnie and Caroline kills the one witch- hence killing the rest of the 11 witches with her and completes the triangle. Caroline is upset , Klaus is mean , Caroline runs off where then Klaus gets attacked by Silas. And then some other unimportant Damon/Elena/Rebekkah stuff.

I do not own anything...

Caroline couldn't believe she was kissing Klaus , yet at the same time she didn't know why it hadn't happened sooner. It was overwhelming , how much she wanted to be close to him , to feel his hands roam every inch of her. Caroline continued to pull at Klaus' hair wanting him closer to her, he was propped up on top of her kissing her so passionately that if she wasn't already lying on her bed she would have collapsed against him.

Caroline moaned as his tongue rubbed against hers, she could feel his hard chest on her and she wanted to be closer wanted all of him in that moment.

As she was moved her hands out of his hair and went to remove his shirt Klaus broke their embrace and moved to kiss along her neck. She couldn't do anything at that point , the sheer pleasure that it brought completely shut her brain down.

Klaus continued to plant soft kisses along her neck moving from just above her shoulder all the way up, he moved so slow and paused slightly in between kisses that it felt like torture. When Klaus reached the top of her neck he stopped doing anything all together and whispered into Caroline's ear.

''Love, I would like nothing more than to ravish you here and now. I've never had any trouble taking what I want and not thinking twice about it - But I can not do that with you. Caroline , you need to want me as I want you, all the time , in every way imaginable. I can make you feel things that you never knew you could. All you have to do is give me a chance, I dare you.''

Caroline had closed her eyes as he whispered into her ear in that accent that drove her crazy. She bit her lip as he spoke her name and kept biting down for fear of letting any sound come out of her mouth as he continued to turn her on with his words.

I dare you

That's when her eyes fluttered open , thinking of the last time he spoke those words.

She expected to see his sea blue eyes staring back at her , challenging her and make her melt further into him. But he was gone , vanished out the window into the darkness. She propped herself up on her elbows and looked around to make sure that he was really gone , and then plopped back down on her bed exasperated. She stretched her arms out as she did so and felt something poke her. Looking over to see what it was she recovered a piece of parchment rolled up right next to her on the bed. Unrolling it Caroline saw that it was a picture of her, she was at Klaus' door and she had just turned around bearing her vampire face , fury written all over it.

It was a drawing of her from that very night when she had smelled Hayley. Caroline slumped back on to her bed , knowing full well that she wasn't going to get any sleep that night. Too many thoughts were buzzing through her head. She clutched on to the drawing , as it was the only evidence that something actually happened between her and Klaus that night. She sighed and didn't know whether to be angry , hurt or relieved.

It struck her that this was the second time that night that Klaus had saved her from herself. If something more had happened between them she doesn't know what she would've done.

She never would admit it to anyone out loud , but she wanted Klaus. She wanted him more than just physically and that scared her , maybe more so than anyone finding out about what had just occured.

Elena had always been the first choice with everyone , and ever since Klaus came to Mystic Falls she's been the main reason Caroline had to suppress her feelings. All the awful things he had done to her best friend. But now Elena wasn't Elena ... she was an emotionless monster , and Caroline wasn't sure if she'd ever see her real friend again.

Then like a lightning bolt another name flashed into her mind Tyler , how could she have over looked him? They were in love , no- are in love.

She knew that it would be hard to continue rejecting Klaus after all of this, but Denial is a strong thing. That's all she had to do , focus on Tyler. She loved Tyler. Klaus is horrible , and horrible people only do horrible things. She repeated this over and over like a mantra until finally in the earliest hours of the morning she drifted off to sleep.

Klaus returned home after leaving Caroline's hoping that he did the right thing. He wanted her , that much everybody knew. But he needed her to want him too – and the fact that he needed that from another person after a thousand years of only caring for himself and his family members scared him.

He stayed up drawing and hoping that what he said was enough to make her consider giving him a chance.

But he knew Caroline , as much as she hated it – she was exactly like him . He knew she wouldn't accept the feelings that he arose in her that night, she'd retreat into herself - like he would always do when faced with emotions he couldn't handle.

Klaus knew he wouldn't be getting any sleep tonight, so he stayed up drawing Caroline , his light. He looked down at the drawing he had begun and upon seeing her face knew that there was no way he was going to give up without a fight. If anything he was persistent , and nothing not even her denial would make him back down.

***Jump*** After Klaus got stabbed by Silas...

Caroline had woken up bright and early to go over her prom to – do list. She ordered every one on the prom committee to meet at the school for 10:00 am sharp. Everyone showed up for fear of being on the receiving end of Caroline's wrath and now she was in the process of giving everyone their duties.

She was distracted though and kept imagining those twelve witches fall to the ground, all simultaneously clunking down dead. She killed them ...she was the reason they were dead. But they were going to kill Bonnie , and she couldn't let them do that. She made the right choice, she made the only choice that made sense to her. It had to have been the right choice... it just had to.

''Caroline! Hello...'' Caroline snapped out of her thoughts as a hand of one of the cheerleaders – Ashley waved in front of her face. She looked annoyed and Caroline assumed she must have been out of it for a noticeable while.

''Yeah.. what's up?''

''Your phone's been going off non stop for the past five minutes.'' Ashley complained pointing to the cell phone laid out on the table next to a bunch of plans.

'' Just ignore it , where was I?'' Caroline asked looking down at the clip board she held in her hand.

''Right , Mariam you're in charge of the flowers. Take the order to the florist I wrote down on your sheet and ask for Charlie. If anything goes wrong , call me immediately... Now Kara-'' Just as she was about to give Kara her orders the phone went off again. Caroline looked down and seeing that it was Klaus pressed ignore.

''Okay, as I was saying-'' Everyone looked at her as her phone went off again, clearly they were annoyed and weren't going to stay quiet for much longer. Caroline checked her phone and saw 35 missed calls from Klaus as well as 5 text messages along the lines Of Get here now.

Caroline was about to text him back to leave her alone , when she looked up once again and saw everyone glaring at her. '' I'll be right back. Everyone knows what they need to do... so go do it and we'll meet back her in 30.''

Caroline stormed out of the school and flashed over to the Mikaelson mansion, now this was the second time she'd be showing up at his door and less than pleased in the last three days. She knocked furiously on the door and when no one answered she barged in and went to look for the the one person in the world that seemed to have an uncanny ability to piss her off.

''Klaus? Where are you?'' Caroline called as she walked into the house, seriously angry that he insisted on calling her a million times, then doesn't answer the door and is now playing some weird game of hide and seek. He was going to get a mouth full that was for sure.

'' Klaus?'' That's when she saw him , shirtless crouched on the ground next to a bench. She had never seen this room before , but right now she was too annoyed and frankly shocked to see him in such a state that she couldn't take in the beautiful surroundings. She looked at Klaus expectantly , arms crossed in front of her chest. He looked pale , and scared? Caroline had never seen him look scared before and it shook her. Klaus looked up at her, but she didn't see the usual smirk and twinkle in eye when he looked at her, instead she saw fear.

''I don't have it! Stop hounding me!'' He yelled , further cowering into a ball, his reaction confused Caroline , but she was too enraged to try and understand why he was acting like he was.

''Me? Hounding you? You're the one phone- stalking me! I'm trying to finish planning prom and I can't because of YOU.'' Caroline yelled, getting out all the pent up frustration she's been feeling.

''Caroline? Is that you?'' Klaus asked , slightly uncurling from the pose he had been in since she walked in.

''Obviously, who else would I be?'' She asked condescendingly. What is his problem? She thought as she looked down at Klaus still waiting for an explanation as to why she was harassed in the first place.

''Prove it.'' He demanded looking up at her , the fear still present in his eyes.

''Seriously? Is this some kind of joke? Are you actually trying to get me to kiss you again? You know what Klaus , I'm leaving.'' Caroline turned to leave infuriated that he though he could just summon her over to his house and then try and get her to kiss him again.

''No wait!'' He called after her, pulling himself up on to the bench he had been crouched beside. Caroline turned around hearing the desperation in his voice. '' Silas, he stacked me in the back with the white oak stake.'' Hearing those words Caroline zoomed behind him and pushed his back down making him growl in pain. She saw that in fact there was an open wound on his back that didn't seem to be healing.

'' What do you want me to do?'' Caroline asked , still pushing his back down.

''You need to take the pliers and pull it out.'' Klaus said pointing to a pair of bloody pliers that laid on the floor next to them. Caroline stopped pushing down on Klaus' back and retrieved the pliers from the ground. When Caroline looked back up Klaus had moved over to the piano.

''What are you doing?'' Caroline asked walking over to Klaus.

''I didn't like that position. Now can you get. It. Out!'' He growled at her through gritted teeth.

''God, you don't have to be so rude.'' Caroline said coming around to Klaus and taking a deep breath.

'' I can feel it going closer to my heart. We don't have time for this'' Klaus growled once again, sensing Caroline's hesitation.

''Fine!'' Caroline yelled plunging the pliers into Klaus' back, making him scream out in agony and bang the piano with his fist.

'' Okay , I'm sorry.'' Caroline said removing the pliers and actually searching for the white oak stake. It wasn't just Klaus' life that hanged in the balance, it was all of their lives. As infuriating as he was, she had to help him. Caroline continued to look around , but she couldn't see anything. No stake that was supposed to be lodge in there, not even a wood chip signifying that it had once been there. Klaus growled as she dug into him. '' Sorry , sorry , sorry'' Caroline apologized as she tried her hardest not to hurt him.

'' I can't see anything, Klaus.'' Caroline said still looking around , slightly grossed out that she was digging inside of his body.

'' It's in there I can feel it!''

''Well I can't see it , all I see are your insides. No stake , nothing.''

'' Keep looking , obviously being a vampire hasn't perfected your vision.'' Klaus snapped at her as he continued to grit his teeth at the pain both the stake and the pliers were bringing him.

''You know what.'' Caroline said pulling the pliers out , no longer trying to be gentle.

'' I don't even know why I'm helping you.'' She lied as she dropped the pliers and started to walk away from him.

'' There are better things I can be doing , than looking around inside of your back for a white oak stake that isn't even there.'' She said going over and plopping down on the couch, her arms crossed over her chest.

''Damn it Caroline!'' Klaus yelled at her once again hitting the piano as he stalked over to where she was.

''If I die you and your little gang die too. That means , Stefan, Damon, Elena and your little wolf boyfriend.'' He seethed trying to influence her to do what he wanted.

''You're not in a position where you can walk away.''

'' See I think that I am.'' Caroline said thinking everything through thoroughly.

''In fact, I want you to let Tyler go.'' She said raising an eyebrow at him.

''That's not going to happen, love. But nice try.'' Klaus said now sounding more menacing than he had only moments before when he was writhing in pain.

'' Seriously, here you are dying and even now you won't let him come back?'' Caroline asked standing up from the couch.

''That would be correct.'' He glared.

''What is wrong with you?!'' She yelled at him, throwing her arms out to her sides in exasperation.

Klaus sped up to her in that moment and towered over her angry figure.'' You think that you can manipulate me? If I die everyone's coming down with me, including you.'' He seethed.

''DO YOU EVEN HEAR YOURSELF-'' She screamed

''DON"T TRY AND MANIPULATE ME CAROLINE-''

''YOU WON'T EVEN MAKE A DEAL TO SAVE YOUR-''

''YOU WILL HELP ME!''

'' YOU'RE SUCH A-'' Just then Klaus' face dropped and she realized he had stopped screaming at her and his face changed to confusion and then relief. Caroline was confused, one moment they were screaming over one another and now he was just standing there dumbfounded.

'' Klaus?'' Caroline asked , she was more scared now than when he was yelling in her face. She didn't know what was going on and it made her all the more worried.

'' Klaus? What's going on?'' She asked again searching his eyes for answers.

'' It was Silas, he got into my head. It was never real... You , you took my mind off of it Caroline. You , you saved me.'' He said grabbing her by the shoulders and looking in to her eyes. Caroline smiled , it was both an uncomfortable smile as well as a knowing one. She figured that was what happened when she couldn't find the stake... but then something hit her, something she hadn't realized before.

'' Klaus, if Silas can do that to you of all people... What can he do to the rest of us?'' She asked moving away from his clutch.

Caroline returned home after one last failed attempt at trying to get Klaus to release Tyler. She had too many things on her mind, along with the fact that they had agreed to be friends? I'm Friends with Klaus Caroline thought as she sat in her room looking over at the clock. She realized she'd been at Klaus's for much longer than half an hour and quickly sent a text message to the other members of the prom committee , telling them they'd all meet back up tomorrow morning with reports of how everything had gone. She laid back in her bed and drifted off to sleep.

Caroline woke up hours later only when her stomach started to rumble , and she realized she hadn't had blood for a day and half now. She zoomed downstairs looking for blood bags and realized that they were all gone. Caroline looked out the window at the night sky, and guessed that she was going hunting. The last thought she had before leaving her house was bunnies, here I come.

Klaus smiled as Caroline walked out of his house, they were friends. It wasn't what he wanted , but it was a start. Getting her to agree to be his friend was a step and soon she'd realize just how much she liked spending time with him. He could feel his wound begin to close as the effects of Silas' magic wore off with the realization that it had all been in his imagination.

Klaus wondered if she had known, when they were bickering and she tried to make a deal for his freedom. He always knew she was smarter than her so called friends gave her credit for. Either she knew, or she was more like him than he could imagine – manipulating someone when their weak, even when you really have no cards to play. It made him mad and proud at the same time. He threw on a clean shirt and headed back down into the foyer where he continued to think about her. Just then his phone rang, Klaus looked down and smirked picking up the phone and greeting his older brother.

Klaus sat at the dining room table with both Elijah and Rebekkah as he tried to contain his fury that his brother would even consider giving the cure to anyone but him.

''How could you be so heartless Nikklaus, to deny our baby sister the chance at living the life she desires.'' Elijah said looking from Klaus to Rebekkah who sat staring at him pleadingly.

'' Please Nik, would you not want to see your only sister happy?''

''What about Silas? I need the cure to cram down his throat and send him to the other side.'' Klaus replied ignoring Rebekkah's pleading stares.

''This is but a whim of our sister's 'lijah , she'll get over it in a decade or two. Silas on the other hand is a very powerful witch that is capable of tormenting me for the rest of eternity.'' Klaus said staring his brother directly in the eye , in the hopes that he would see reason.

'' I think it only fair to give our sister a chance, if she can live one day as a human, what she so desires to become the cure will be hers.'' Elijah replied smiling at his younger sister.

'' Oh thank you 'liaj'' Rebekkah beamed looking lovingly at her brother.

'' Congrats Bekkah, just remember what you've done when you become a weak , pathetic human being. That I'll be here tormenting you for as long as your mortal life will last.'' Klaus growled into her ear before storming out of the house, unable to control his anger or be around his family without being tempted to find two daggers.

Caroline walked about silently in the forest, having already caught a few bunnies she was sated for the time being. She found herself walking blissfully through the forest, on her way to what had become her favourite get away over the years. No one knew she came there and that's how she liked it, whenever her mom wasn't home – which was always and she was feeling down she'd creep there in the night time and relax. She continued to walk , picking up her pace until she was running at human speed. It was been a while since she felt like a human and not using her abilities after just snacking on a cute animal made her feel better , alive. She continued to run enjoying the view as she past by trees and then came to a thick wall of vegetation that looked like it clung to a solid wall of rock. Caroline looked for the cluster of purple flowers that marked her way and brushed aside the plants revealing a break in the rock formation. She moved passed the flowers careful not to prick herself on any of the thorns that were hidden beneath the foliage.

Caroline ducked under and went through until she reached a clearing , where there was a beautiful water fall and green grass that grew all around. There was rock all around it and vegetation everywhere, this was her favourite place to be. She contemplated showing Tyler at some point and on occasion she wanted to show Elena and Bonnie. But she always decided against it; this was her personal oasis and she feared bringing other people here might ruin it. This was the only place she truly felt safe and could truly be herself.

Caroline ran over to the falls and removed her shoes placing her feet into the cold water, it was perfect. She stayed in there for a while and then laid down looking up at the stars in the sky, searching them for answers. Her eyes began to flutter closed when all of a sudden she heard the snapping of a branch and a whimper.

She sprung up looking at the only entrance there was into the what she thought was well hidden oasis. She continued to look and saw a shape emerge. She was frozen in place at the sight on what had entered. It was a wolf unlike any she had ever see , it had a beautiful coat of blonde hair and piercing yellow eyes. What really caught her attention though was the sheer size of it. When she had watched Tyler transform on his very first full moon he was slightly bigger than your average domestic dog, but this wolf was huge probably twice Tyler's size if not more.

Caroline was shocked, scared and amazed all at the same time. One she didn't know that there were still wolves in Mystic Falls, she assumed all had been turned into hybrids and then slaughtered by Klaus after they broke their sire bond. Then there was the fact that she didn't notice a full moon, she was tempted to look up and see for herself , but the fact that a wolf that could possibly kill her was currently staring her down she couldn't bring herself to do it.

She didn't know what to do , it wasn't growling or snapping at her , but it was moving closer little by little. There was no way she could escape in time and the wolf was blocking the only exit.

Caroline tried to asses the situation , but she couldn't take her eyes off of the wolf, not only out of fear but that it was beautiful unlike the scraggly menacing creature Tyler turned into , this wolf looked majestic. The wolf howled into the sky and continued to move closer to Caroline.

She didn't know what to do , but she decided she needed to stand her ground and try to run if all else failed. Caroline walked slowly towards the wolf and as she did she noticed that it had a thorn stuck into it's side and that it was whimpering slightly, clearly unable to remove it by itself.

'Are you hurt?'' Caroline asked , forgetting slightly that it was a deadly animal capable of killing her. The wolf looked up at her and it's eyes didn't appear menacing. It shook it head as if to say ' yes' and stopped moving towards her.

''Okay... here's what's going to happen. I'm going to remove the thorn from your side and you're not going to bite me. Okay? I help you ... and you don't kill me... that sounds like a fair deal right?'' She asked slowly approaching it. Once again it shook its head 'yes' and Caroline calmed down, wondering how this wolf could be so tame and in control of it's actions when Tyler had tried to rip her throat out on numerous occasions.

'' Okay , this might hurt a little just don't snap at me.'' Caroline said moving to it's side and pulling out three thorns at the same time. The wolf howled into the sky , making Caroline jump back in front of it with the thorns in her hand.

'' Alright see.. I got them out – so I'm just going to go now.'' Caroline said about to move cautiously around the wolf and then run for dear life. Although , as she made a step for the exit around the wolf it jumped in front of her blocking the way.

''Hey!'' Caroline yelled at the wolf now blocking her chance at freedom. '' We had a deal.'' she stomped. She looked down at the wolf and she swore she could see a smirk rise from it's lips. Caroline tried to leave again , only to have the same thing happen.

She just stood there glaring at the wolf , unsure of what was going to happen.

''Look ...you, we had a deal, I scratch your back and you don't kill me.'' She said realizing how stupid she looked right now, but if talking a wolf which now she knew for certain could understand her was going to save her life she'd do it.

The wolf smiled again as if to say ' really?' and then began to circle around her , Caroline watched it carefully out of the corner of her eye and watched as it moved closed to her. This is it she thought , it's going to bite me. She was shocked when instead it bumped her butt '' Hey!'' She yelled falling forward from the push and stumbling on to the ground.

She turned around on the ground quickly to face the wolf again and it approached her with the same playful smirk it had since she pulled out the thorns. She expected it to bite her now, she looked deep into it's eyes as it invaded her personal space. She swallowed hard , when she noticed that it's eyes were changing from yellow to a sea blue.

Caroline recognized those eyes , and come to think of it that smile was familiar too. '' Klaus?'' She asked searching those eyes. The smile on the wolf's face widened as he nodded.

''Klaus!'' She yelled now standing up on her feet and wiping down her clothes.

''I can't believe you did that, follow me here and then start messing with me!'' she yelled at him and in response he gave her a look that said ' Truly, sweetheart? I thought you knew me better than that.'

'' Don't give me that look.'' She said sitting down on the grass and leaning against a nearby rock. Klaus came and laid down beside her resting his head on her lap. The gesture startled her and made her feel slightly uncomfortable. I mean this was still Klaus, well wolf- Klaus but a Klaus non the less. But she supposed it was okay , he probably wouldn't even remember any of this when he turned back anyways.

Caroline began to stroke his head subconsciously, she looked up to the stars and noticed that as she suspected earlier the moon wasn't full. She looked back down at wolf- Klaus and asked him a question that she'd been wondering since she found out it was him.

''Did you come look for me?'' She asked him , wolf- Klaus looked up at her and shrugged then placed his head back down on her lap.

''You don't know?'' She asked incredulously. How could he not know?

'' So what , you just found me?'' She asked looking back down at him , Klaus nodded and then proceeded to nuzzle into Caroline , making her squirm. Shivers ran up her spine, just knowing that it was him doing that made her feel nervous, although she had to admit she felt more at ease with him in his wolf form then she did when he could talk to her in that British accent , charm her with his words and smile at her with that dimpled smile of his.

''You know I like you like this'' Caroline smirked as he glared at her.

''I mean you can't hit on me or say something intentionally rude ,it's nice'' The wolf looked up at her as if to say 'oh yeah' and then put his head back down and continued to nuzzle into her thigh. She instantly began to regret her words as his head rested too close for comfort.

''Klaus stop it, I get your point. Don't ruin this.'' She said patting his head again once he refrained from moving about on her lap. She looked back up at the stars and yawned , more tired then she realized from the events of the day.

''I've always wanted to know about the stars..'' Were the last words Caroline said before she drifted off to sleep with Klaus still on top of her.
