Previously on A Second Chance At Love:

Klaus: He is your first love. I intend to be your last.

Caroline: Please don't leave me again!

Tyler: Find someone, Caroline. Be happy. Live your life.

Klaus: And what is it that you need my help with, witch?

Gina: It's quite simple. I need your help in imprisoning Silas again.

A hybrid prepared to attack Caroline. In an instant, the hybrid gasped and grunted. He fell to the side to reveal Klaus standing over her with the hybrid's heart in his hand.

Klaus: Hello, love. I see I missed one before I left.

He smiled dropping the heart.

As though he sensed her inner doubts, Klaus lifted his head to her forehead, planting his kiss there. He held his kiss for a bit, savoring the moment. He rested his forehead against hers.

Klaus: I care for you deeply, Caroline. I can wait for you for an eternity if I must. I will never give up on you.

Gina: Silas is a plaque that must be stopped. The spirits demand my family of this.

Elena: Why you?

Gina: Because Silas is trying to find a way to see Katsia again and I fear that he may have found another way.

Caroline: And how would that work?

A male voice: By sacrificing everyone from this town.

The man stepped around the corner behind the witch.

Jeremy: Josh?

And now chapter 3:

Josh stepped beside the witch.

"Yes, Josh is my son. I sent him here to help me convince Klaus to help and to keep an eye out for signs of Silas," the witch said.

"Gina told me of her plan to complete a witch's circle, but to do that we need to wait for the rest of the family to show up so they can complete the circle to trap him," Klaus said.

"How many are we talking here?" Damon.

"Three more. We have until 2 weeks before Silas performs the spell and destroys the veil," Gina said.

"What's in 2 weeks?" Jeremy asked.

"A sacred comet that passes by once every 500 years," Josh said.

"What comet is that?" Elena asked.

"It's a comet that was blessed by the spirits. Every 500 years, the comet passes over the Earth, giving witch's a power boost. With my family and the comet, we will have the power to imprison him permanently without a chance of him breaking from his prison again," Gina said.

"But what is Silas's plan?" Elena asked.

The witch moved closer to the group.

"Silas plans on using the comet to tear down the veil permanently, hoping that he will be able to see her again. If he succeeds, the balance of power would change, the world could come to an end as the supernatural dead, good and bad, return to this world. On top of that, he intends sacrifice every person in this town to fulfill the spell's requirements," Gina said.

"How do you know all of this?" Jeremy asked.

"Because I channeled my ancestor for guidance," Gina said.

Everyone just looked at each other. If Silas wanted to kill everyone in town, then that includes family, friends and themselves as well.

Caroline walked out of the house toward her car. Her mind was still reacting to what she heard. That would mean that her mother would be in danger as well. She made to unlock her car, shaking her head. She thought she heard a sound behind her. She turned around to hear some more but there was nothing. It must have been someone from the house. She shook her head and got in the car to drive away. As she drove away, she saw Klaus watching from a window in the house.

'I care for you deeply, Caroline. I can wait for you for an eternity if I must. I will never give up on you,' came into her head as she remembered their moment in the woods.

She smiled at him as she disappeared onto the main road.

Klaus watched her drive away from the house. He sighed. It felt so good to be close to her again as though a part of him was missing that only she could fill. He only wanted to love and protect one person, her. He didn't look as Stefan stepped beside him. Stefan leaned against the frame.

"She's come a long way since I first came back here two years ago," Stefan said, "She changed into a completely different person."

Stefan caught a sight of her car before she was out of sight. Klaus looked toward him.

"I find that hard to believe," Klaus said. Stefan snorted.

"Trust me. When I came back and met Elena, She tried everything to get me to like her. She flirted and tried to get me to hang with her," he went on.

"So what happened?" Klaus said not able to hide his jealousy.

"I rejected her every time until I finally told her that it was never gonna happen. I don't think you would know Caroline two years ago."

"Why is that?"

"She was self-centered, shallow, mean, selfish and inconsiderate of others. She was very controlling of everybody around her. To be honest, she wasn't a very good friend to Elena and the others. That all changed when vampires came into town," said Stefan.

Klaus turned to lean against the window with his back.

"Sort of sounds like me centuries ago," Klaus said.

Stefan grinned, "Me too."

"How did Caroline become a vampire?" Klaus asked.

Stefan paused for a minute.

"Well, she was in the car with Tyler and Matt when Tyler had a huge migraine. He was driving and swerved off the road. She was rushed to the hospital with a serious head injury. The doctors weren't sure if she would live. She was bleeding in her head so bad that she had to have surgery. Everyone was so shocked that she lived."

"How did she?" Klaus asked.

Stefan smiled, "I saved her. I gave her my blood after her surgery. By that time, Katherine was wreaking havoc on the town, tormenting everyone. She snuck into Caroline's room and turned her for what we thought was a shot against us. We later realized that she arranged for Tyler become a werewolf and for Caroline to be a vampire for your curse to be broken."

Klaus stepped away from the window a bit. He took in everything.

"How did she take the transformation?" Klaus asked, helping himself to some of Damon's scotch.

Stefan stepped over to him.

"It was hard for her. She had to discover herself at first alone. She struggled with her emotions and blood urges until Elena and I helped her. Even then she was still same old Caroline just heightened but she changed after we freed her from Katherine's torment. She transformed herself in this person now," Stefan added.

Klaus downed his glass of scotch.

"It seems that Katerina has conflicted more than a few lives over the course of her years."

"A lesson that people apparently learn the hard way," Stefan pointed out.

Klaus nodded, "Indeed."

"I wanted to ask you for a favor."

"Stefan, we were close in the 20's but not that close today."

"Here me out," Stefan said stepping close to Klaus with a serious face.

"I'm all ears," Klaus said taking another swig of scotch.

"All I ask is that you take care of Caroline," he whispered.

Klaus put down his drink.

"Do you intend to mock me, Stefan?"

"I know that you care for her and I know that Tyler left her for good. All I ask is that you take care of her whether she has the same feelings for you or not. I think that after everything, she deserves some happiness and a good life."

"I would have to agree with you, mate," Klaus said, "Rest assured that I intend to help her live her vampire life whether she accepts my offer or not."

Stefan nodded as he made to walk to his room upstairs. He paused to turn toward Klaus.

"Caroline is one of my friends. Keep in mind that if you hurt her then I will feel obligated to have a witch imprison you again," Stefan said before he walked away.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," Klaus smirked as he made to leave for his house.

Caroline was walking down through the woods alone. She could sense him nearby. Her heart was filled with joy as she moved faster through the woods. He was here. She could feel it. She stumbled over a log. With a sniff, she tried to find him. She turned this way and that to try to even catch a glimpse of him. With a sigh, she gazed out in the distance. He was here! She knew that for certain! How could he be gone after a second of being here?

"Caroline," a familiar voice said behind her.

She smiled at the sound of his voice. How she missed it. She turned around to see Tyler standing nearby a tree, smiling at her. He was back to see her and this time there were no other werewolves with him.

"You came back? Why?" she asked him.

He grinned at her.

"I came back for you, Caroline. The others couldn't give me what I had from the start."

"And what's that," she smirked.

He stepped in front of her, taking her face in his hands.

"True love," he said.

She smiled at him as they made to kiss. In an instant, Tyler shouted in pain. Caroline pulled back to see a piece of a wooden stake through his chest.

"TYLER!" she exclaimed.

She went with him as he fell to his knees.

"Caroline," he gasped as his skin began to shrivel and turn gray.

"Tyler! No! Tyler! Please!" she cried.

She sobbed as he fell to his side dead. She looked up to find who did this. Then Klaus showed up with another stake in his hands.

"Tough break, Caroline," he mocked.

"Why?" she said, "WHY?"

She jumped up to him, beating at his chest in anger. He stood there with a smile.

"I almost forgot how gullible you are, Caroline. How could Klaus ever fall for you?" he mocked.

Caroline froze. She backed up quickly.

"What's the matter, Caroline? It's me Klaus," he used an innocent mocking voice.

"You're not Klaus," she said backing away.

"No? Then who am I, Caroline?" he grinned.

"Silas," she whispered taking off into the woods.

In an instant, he was before her, still in the form of Klaus.

"Did you think that I would forget what you and your friends did months ago? Did you honestly think that I wouldn't want revenge for preventing me to be reunited with my one true love?" Silas said.

"What are you going to do?" she asked.

He laughed as he stepped toward her.

"I can do wonders with you and the thing is, we have eternity," he growled as he charged at her.

She was being pinned down by strong hands. She tried to break his grip but Silas's hands must be holding her down. She whimpered and cried as she struggled.

"Caroline? Caroline! It's alright!" Klaus' voice said, "Wake up! Caroline!"

She opened her eyes with utter panic. Silas was still Klaus as he tried to pin her struggling hands in her room.

"Let go!" she said.

"Caroline! It's alright! You were having a dream," Silas said to her with worried eyes.

"No! Let go! You're not Klaus!" She grunted against him.

It was as if everything clicked.

"Caroline, I'm not Silas. He's not here yet, remember? You are safe. It was only a dream," he said keeping her from bolting out of bed.

She stopped struggling. She panted as she looked at him in the eyes.

"Caroline, it's alright. It's me not Silas," he whispered.

She sat up in her bed looking at him.

"You're safe, love," he said softly.

After a moment, she leaned into his chest as she let the rest of her nightmare panic run its course. She cried a little while her body shook. Klaus didn't say anything as he let her calm herself down.

"He was there, Klaus. He was there and he killed Tyler right in front of me! He looked just like you," she said as she calmed down.

Klaus brought her face to look at him.

"It was only a dream love, nothing more."

She nodded. She processed the fact that they were in her room in her house.

"Where's my mom?" she asked.

"Last I heard, she was working late tonight. I came to make sure you were alright," he said moving her hair from her face.

She sighed her last moment of panic. Having him here made her feel oddly at peace, safe and secure. It was as if everything he said just took away her fears.

"Thank you," she said.

"Are you alright?" he asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just freaked out," she said.

"Then, I'll let you go back to sleep," he said standing up to leave, "Goodnight, Caroline."

"Wait," she said before he vamped out the window.

He paused to look at her.

"Can you stay here for a bit?" she asked him.

"Of course, love," he said walking back to her.

She moved over for him to lie down next to her. He lay down next to her under the covers as she laid her head down on her pillow.

"Thanks," she said as she got comfortable in her bed.

He rolled to his side to face her, gently stroking her cheek.

"I have told you before, I would do anything for you, love," he said.

She smiled at him as she let herself fall asleep. He smiled at how easily her fell asleep with him here as though she was completely trusting him to keep her safe as she slept. He felt so happy to finally be able to be close to her. He watched her sleep for a while, taking in the lovely sight of her being at peace. He had felt her distress earlier and rushed over to her immediately. Good thing he did. As he arrived, she was thrashing in her sleep. He sighed quietly as he made to leave her in peace, but as he rolled over, she unconsciously rolled over with her head on his chest. She arm reached around him, holding him close to her. She sighed and moaned as she continued to sleep. Looking at her lovingly, he made sure he was comfortable as he wrapped his arms around her sleeping body before he too went to sleep.

Stefan made to return home from a night at the Grill. He made to get in his car when he thought he heard a scream in ally. He vamped over to the side of the building, looking for the source of the sound. Maybe it was a woman being attacked by vampires. He let his vampire instincts take over his senses. He sniffed and listened and looked around but no one was around. He couldn't sense anything around him. Where did that scream come from?

"Hello?" Stefan called.

Another loud noise came from behind him. Stefan jerked around but saw no one. He looked down as his phone began to ring. He pulled his phone from his pocket. Damon was calling, probably trying to find out where he was for something. Stefan glanced around him again before he made to answer the phone. Without even being aware of it, someone came up behind him and broke his neck. Stefan fell to the ground in a heap with his phone still ringing in his hand. The intruder stepped closer to Stefan's body as he looked down at him. The only light in the ally was a flickering street light as the intruder stepped into the light. The intruder appeared as the spitting image of Stefan as he smiled at the real Stefan still lying on the ground.

"Hello Stefan, Good to see you again," he said with a smirk, "I'm back."
