Caroline found herself laced into a forest green dress, so tightly she was barely able to breathe. The skirt flared out widely, and she felt certain she was going to collide with everything she saw. Mary eyed her cautiously, as Caroline clearly wasn't used to such fine fashions.
Catching the way she was being glared out, Caroline finally turned around and snapped "He found me in a gutter, ok, lady?"
Mary sniffed and stalked out of the room, leaving Caroline to find her own way down to the dining room.
She found Klaus, also changed, standing beside his chair, sipping from a goblet.
He wore a black shirt, with a deep v-neck, over black breeches and black boots. The only other color on him was a golden belt of sorts. Caroline had to admit, he didn't look half-bad in period clothing.
"You look well, Caroline."
"Yeah, well, I can't breathe. Come unlace this thing so I can eat."
Klaus's eyebrows rose into his hairline, but he didn't hesitate to walk over and acquiesce to her request. One hand settled on her hip as the other expertly undid her laces and loosened them."
"I was hoping to have the opportunity to undress you in a different setting."
"I don't want to think about how many 'wenches' you 'bedded' in this place." Caroline rolled her eyes as she took a seat, and waited for Klaus to do the same.
"Ah, but you're not a wench, and you know it wouldn't be simply bedding."
"Can you stop flirting and focus on the fact that we're six hundred years in the past?"
"Unfortunately, until I locate my witch, we're going to have to hope Bonnie can come up with something."
"Who were those weird people in my backyard? Friends of yours?"
"Never saw them before in my life."
"I forgot, you don't have friends." Caroline scoffed, as Klaus carved in to the roast before them. Something told him they were eating the servants' dinner, considering how quickly it had appeared on the table.
"Just you, love."
"If we're stuck here, we might as well make the most of it, right? Can we have a ball?" Caroline suddenly sat up straight, a huge smile on her face.
"I'd rather not draw attention to us, sweetheart."
Caroline's face immediately fell, and Klaus sighed. "Maybe just one, if you behave."
"So, what's my story? I kind of already told Mary that you found me in a gutter."
Klaus stared at her, then burst in to laughter. "Never a dull moment with you, love. We'll think of something."
He stared at his plate for a moment, then back at Caroline. "I was thinking that, if Bonnie hasn't fixed this by tomorrow, we could go for a ride."
He expected Caroline to blow it off, but she smiled, a genuine smile. "Ok."
They spent the rest of dinner in silence, and then Klaus took Caroline for a walk around the grounds, helping to get acquainted to a place they may be stuck in for a very long time.
Not long after he turned in for the night, there was a timid knock on the door.
"Enter." He called as he removed his shirt.
"Whoa." Caroline stared, transfixed, at his abs.
"Caroline. Do you need something?"
"Um, yeah." Caroline shook her head, and then looked at him as if nothing had happened. "Um, I'm scared. This is a big, old, drafty castle, and I keep freaking out that a ghost is going to jump out at me, and can I please stay in here with you tonight?"
"You're a vampire, sweetheart."
"I know."
"So, you have nothing to be afraid of."
"So, you're saying you don't want me in your bed. Cool. Got it. See you in the morning."
Klaus chuckled. "Come back, Caroline. I'm sure I can make some room for you."
Caroline eyed the enormous bed. "You sure we won't get lost in there?"
"Just hold on to me, love."
"Don't get crazy."
Caroline raced over to the bed and climbed up the little stool to reach the top. She settled herself under the covers quickly, and Klaus followed her in to the bed after removing his boots and blowing out the candles.
"Good night, Caroline."
"Good night, Klaus."
A few minutes later, Klaus smiled as he felt Caroline shimmy over and rest her hand on his back.
"Hello, is anybody back here?" Kol called out as he led Bonnie in to the backyard. The yard seemed normal, except for the huge blue box in the back.
"Hello?"
Silence.
"I think we've been pranked." Bonnie muttered, just as a door on the blue box swung open, and a man in tweed stepped out.
"Bonnie! Kol!" He greeted them as if they were old friends. "A pleasure to see you. The Weeping Angel has left, for now, so it's all right to blink."
A woman stepped out of the box, her curly hair all over the place. She smiled at Bonnie and Kol, as she holstered some kind of gun.
"What is going on here?" Bonnie could feel something in the air was off. Her skin was crawling.
"Ah, yes. Well, you see, Klaus and Caroline were taken, if you will, by a Weeping Angel. Sent back in to some previous time period to live to death. We were hoping you could help us bring them back."
"I don't understand."
"Aliens, dear. It's best not to think about it too much." The woman interjected.
"Now, I've really heard it all." Kol shook his head, then turned to Bonnie. "I'm guess Klaus thinks you can do some sort of spell."
"Spell? Are you a witch? Oh, that's brilliant!" The man looked dizzy with joy.
Kol eyed the man warily, then looked back at Bonnie. "Can you do some kind of locator spell?"
"I can try." Bonnie closed her eyes, and began to chant, rolling her head on her shoulders as she contacted the spirits. Suddenly, her head fell back, and her mouth opened, emitting a kind of golden vapor.
"The...year..." she hissed, "is 1492. The...place...is...Yorkshire...watch out, Doctor. He...comes. He...comes. He...takes...her. All...is...lost."
Her head snapped forward again, and she opened her eyes. Clearly shaken by what she had seen.
"The Master, who is the Master? And what the hell does he want with Caroline?"
River and the Doctor looked at each other, eyes full of fear. Bonnie reached out to grab Kol's hand.
This was going to get ugly.
