Soo here is Chapter 4! Sorry for making you guys wait, I couldn't think of what to write but I got some inspiration this morning. I hope you like it, enjoy!
P.S. I've finally made up my mind about whether or not Klayley and the baby will be in the story. You'll have to read to find out...

"Kol?"
"Beautiful morning isn't it? My, my.. You smell delicious."
He chuckled before grinning down at me. I saw his vampire features from the veins under his eyes to his sharp teeth appear.
"Kol!"
Both of our heads snapped up to where the voice was coming from. It was Elijah. He was dressed down in his sleek black suit as usual, always so formal. He glared at his brother before he turned to smile at me.
His smile was a warm smile that only made me smile as well. Elijah was sweet and charming, unlike the rest of his family.
"I apologize on behalf of my brother, he can be well... Truly vexatious."
I stifled a laugh while Kol stood there, looking furiously at his brother.
"But she's human. We don't make friends with such delicious beings. Why now?"
He whined.
"Because if you do, Nik will make sure you suffer."
I groaned at Rebecca's presence. It made me stiffen at the sound of her shrill voice. Why couldn't she just have remain daggered in her coffin?
"Caroline, I presume you are feeling well? Are you famished?"
Now that I thought about it, my stomach has been grumbling the entire morning. Maybe that's why he asked, he could hear my stomach making unpleasant noises. I nodded eagerly.
"Shall we go out to dine tonight?"
I spun around to see Klaus leaning against the staircase, arms crossed against his chest and a grin on his face. Why are the bad guys always the good looking ones?
"You know what, I'm actually not that hungry."
I lied.
Rolling my eyes, I headed for the couch across the room. I gasped as Klaus was now standing in front of me.
"You are a human now, you need to eat something."
"I'd rather starve than to go out with you."
I pushed passed him and sat crossed legged on the couch in front of the tv.
Judging from the movements behind me, Klaus was gone.
"You know.."
Kol began as he took a seat beside me, his arm over my shoulder.
"Anyone who talks to Nik like that would be dead in seconds."
I ignored his remark and shrugged his arm off of my shoulder. He was right, Klaus wouldn't let anyone talk to him like that. Except for me. Why me?
"So... Why did you decide to take the cure? Was it boredom, curiosity? Or did you simply just miss being a human?"
He questioned as he wiggled his eyebrows playfully.
"I didn't take the cure, Katherine forced it down my throat right after she killed Elena."
His smile vanished and Elijah was suddenly beside me, looking mortified.
"Katerina did this to you?"
He asked.
I nodded slowly, eyeing them carefully. It took a few minutes for Elijah to process what I had just told him and without another word, he stalked off into the next room.
I was about to question Elijah's weird behavior but I knew I wouldn't get a proper answer from Kol, so I decided not to.
"How are you alive? I mean, I saw your body.."
He smiled and turned to me.
"It's a great story actually. I convinced a very strong witch to do a spell. The spell that allowed such supernaturals to come back to life, only to drain the power and life out of that witch. I came back the same way that little Jeremy did. Wasn't that a marvelous story?"
He continued to munch on the cookies. Jeremy's alive? Wait, you need a witch to do the spell.. Jeremy only knows one witch.. Oh my god.
"The witch that Jeremy used.. Who was it?"
"That Bennett witch... What was her name again? Ah yes, Bonnie."
"Bo.. Bonnie's... dead?"
My voice became very small. Kol looked at me, studying my confused expression.
"Were you not listening when I told you a witch-"
I quickly got up and ran to the phone, dialing the familiar number.
"Hello?"
"Stefan? Where's Jeremy?"
"He's here, with me. What's wrong Caroline?"
He voice was now concerned.
"Can I talk to him?"
I heard the movements in the background.
"Hello?"
"Jeremy, how are you still alive?"
He paused before answering.
"Bonnie used a spell."
"Where's Bonnie?"
I felt a hand on my shoulder that made me jump and almost drop the phone.
"Caroline..."
I met with Klaus' blue eyes before pushing his hand away.
"She's off to college."
"Don't lie to me. Where is she?"
I only assumed he held his breath because it was completely silent on the other end.
"I'm sorry Caroline."
I hung up the phone and leaned against the counter, holding my stomach.
"Caroline.."
I brushed past him, sped up the stairs and into one of the empty guests rooms, closing the door behind me. Laying on the cold bed, I felt the tears fall down my cheeks.
First Elena, now Bonnie. My two best friends in the entire world are gone... How could this be? We just graduated together and now they're dead... on the same night!
We were so close to a happy ending, so close. I mean, we all grew up together. I don't understand why people keep dying!
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.
With my sleeve, I wiped the tears from my face and walked over to the dresser. My phone was buzzing. Looking at the caller ID, I was relieved. It was Tyler.
"Tyler?"
"Care? Are you okay? Stefan told me Damon attacked you and you're at Klaus'."
"Tyler, Katherine gave me the cure. Elena's dead and now Damon's after me. Stefan thought it was best if I stayed here. Tyler, Bonnie's dead. Oh Tyler..."
I sniffled. I could feel the lump in my throat as I tried to hold back the tears.
"Hey hey, don't cry. I'm here for you. I'll come get you okay? Everything will be okay. Klaus won't kill me, he freed me."
"No Tyler, he will kill you. It's okay Tyler, he won't hurt me. I'll come visit you soon."
He sighed.
"Did he compel you? Are you compelled? Klaus is klaus! Why would you ever trust him?!"
"Tyler! Calm down okay? Last night, I've realized that he still has a shred of humanity. Don't worry about me Tyler."
"Fine."
He huffed.
"But call me soon. I need to make sure you're still alive. I love you so much Care."
"I love you too. Bye."
I slowly shut the phone and sat leaning against the dresser with my knees propped up against my chest.
I heard a soft knock on the door before it slowly opened.
"Love, dinner is ready downstairs."
Klaus closed the door behind him and took a seat beside me in the same position.
"I'm not hungry."
I said without even a glance at him.
"I'm sorry about your friends, Elena and Bonnie."
"You were going to kill them anyway. Don't act like you're innocent Klaus."
"You're right."
"What?"
I turned to look at him. Did he just agree with me?
"I am no saint. I kill for the fun of it. I am the bad guy. I am glad you see that."
Klaus looked so upset and sad. I just wish I could over look all of the bad things he's done and comfort him. I scoffed. We all know that's not possible. He then got up and left the room.
I went over to the bed and laid on the soft white sheets. Maybe I could sleep off all of this pain. I buried my face into the pillow and sobbed silently until I fell asleep.
•••
Ugh, I groaned. My throat was so sore, it forced me to wake up in the middle of the night. Glancing at the clock, it was... 2 AM. I sighed and threw the covers off then headed out the door.
As quietly as I could, I tiptoed out of my room, across the hall and down the stairs. I heard the shuffling of blankets in the other rooms and knew I must've woken them.
Being a human sucks.
I walked into the kitchen and began my search for a cup. I found a glass in a cupboard above the sink and filled it up with water from the tap. The water tasted refreshing as I took big gulps of water.
There was a pounding on the door that made me jump.
I rushed to the door, seeing as everyone else was still sleeping. Who would be here at 2 AM?
As I opened the door, I was so tempted to close it right away because it was Hayley. She pushed the door open and marched in.
"What are you doing here? It's 2 AM."
She ignored me and turned to Klaus, who was already dressed into his casual outfit and Elijah, who was surprisingly not wearing a suit, but a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.
"We need to talk."
I couldn't help but notice the slight bump in her stomach. Was she pregnant?
"Caroline, why don't you go back to bed?"
I heard Elijah say, but I ignored him and continued to stare at Hayley's stomach. She was pregnant? I looked up to meet her gaze and she frowned.
"Is there something you want?"
"Are you pregnant?"
I don't know what compelled me to ask but I knew I shouldn't have.
"Oh, he hasn't told you?"
She was now grinning.
"Who hasn't told me what?"
Haha I'm sorry, I love cliff hangers! Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Tell me who you think the father is, otherwise you'll have to wait until next week. Review, favorite and follow!
