Reality strikes back

It has been nearly two weeks since the day Caroline and Bonnie came to New Orleans and all was going well… well at least for Klaus and Caroline. Bonnie and Kol were a totally different story.

"KOL, YOU'RE DEAD!" Was the first thing the blonde pair heard from their bed that particular Sunday morning. The caramel-skinned witch yelled at the devilish Original just like she did every morning for the last two weeks.

"Oh God, will the two of them ever stop." Groaned freshly awakened Caroline.

"I think they won't love, well at least not until the witch finally decides to sleep with Kol." Answered Klaus while pulling her body closer to him and snuggling, yes snuggling, into the warmth that was provided by Caroline's soft body. Her hand kept combing his hair and Klaus pulled his head up to meet her inviting lips.

"Good morning love."

"Good morning Nik." She said back to him. It took her less than a day to start calling him Nik again. Because that's what he is her Nik and only hers.

A breaking of dishes was heard followed by a laugh of a certain original downstairs.

"Where are you going love? They won't hurt each other and besides while they are occupied by each other we can have some fun." He tried to pull her back onto their bed to indulge again into her perfect body, but unfortunately she had a different plan.

"Oh it's not them I'm worried about. I'm worried about my dinner set, you know it took me a whole day to find a perfect one with little blue flowers and the right design." She put on her robe and went for the door.

"I really regret inviting them to stay in our house."

"Well, Mister big bad, may I remind you it was all your idea."

"I can always take it back." Said Klaus in return and quietly added "Or I can always dagger the little sucker." He stood up and started putting his boxers on.

A whiz of air rushed to him and he found himself in his second most favorite position, him on bed with his golden goddess straddling him. "If he broke my dishes I'll personally provide you with the said dagger." She gave him a quick peck on lips and stopped him from deepening it. "Now get up and help me break them up."

For the rest of the day the four of them decided to tour the city, surprisingly Kol was the tour guide. In the afternoon they decided to separate so while Klaus took Caroline to a fancy dinner Kol showed Bonnie his favorite place.

"Kol, not that I'm complaining but… this is an empty building." Bonnie was surprised more than ever. Why would Kol take her to an empty, old building?

"That is where you're wrong darling. You see this is not just an empty building. It belonged to a powerful witch whom I have known in 1800s." he stopped there to take something out of his pocket.

"It belonged to Sam, well Samantha."

"Kol this really isn't the time for you to tell me about your vast sex experience, especially if you hope to woo me."

He laughed at her. "Oh darling I don't hope to woo you, I already did that we are only waiting for you to catch up." He brought her closer to him by pulling her by the waist.

"And I'm not talking about my past relationships. Sam was a witch, moreover she was a Bennet witch."

Bonnie gasped. "Why are you telling me this now Kol?"

"Because this was her house and she left it to me. She never married because magic was her main concern in life. Everything she ever possessed is here. Her grimoire, ingredients even clothes and furniture. But most importantly her amulet is here or rather the other half of it."

He pulled a chain with a semilunar pendant on it and lowered it into Bonnie's hand, she looked at it in awe.

"Wait what do you mean half of it? Where is the rest?"

"It's in the house, that's why I brought you here. Only a true Bennet can summon it and only if she has the other half."

In that moment other half materialized in her other hand. The transparent, glass like medallion put itself together.

"Thank you Kol for doing this for me." She gave him a hug and buried her head in neck. He awkwardly put his hands on her waist and put his chin on the top of her head.

"Any time darling, any time." He kissed the crown of her head and she secretly smiled in his neck.

What neither of them noticed was that the crystal that found its place on Bonnie's neck started changing color from transparent to green on one half and brown on the other.

Klaus and Caroline finally came home, well more like barged in it. Klaus did close the door with his foot. In seconds Caroline found herself pinned to the wall in the foyer.

"God Caroline you'll drive me crazy one of these days." Said Klaus while planting warm, wet kisses down her soft, pale neck.

They got to the couch in the living-room when the lights suddenly went on.

"Well I can't say I didn't expect this." Said the dark-haired man standing in the corner.

Caroline scrambled up from the couch and Klaus and started walking to the man.

"Tyler what are you doing here?" She asked confused. The force of habit pushed her to Tyler but somehow her mind and heart forbade it so she stood exactly in the middle of two hybrids.

Klaus was blown by the emotions. On the one hand anger for Tyler for even daring to come in the five-mile radius from him. On the other hand sadness because the moment she realized who he was, Caroline ran to Tyler. But in mere seconds his mask was back on.

"What are you doing here mate? We had a deal or was it too much to remember for your little brain?"

Tyler god red.

"The deal was she stays with me while you go your merry little way Klaus. When you broke the deal so did I."

Caroline was confused by their interaction. She turned around to face Klaus and walked in front of him

"What deal is he talking about Klaus?"

Klaus was panicking.

"Caroline you have to understand I had to protect you somehow and that was the only way."

Tyler snickered.

"So he didn't tell you did he Care?" At his words Caroline turned to Tyler and he continued.

"Klaus and I made a deal before he got out of the town. He said he would let me live in Mystic Falls If I protected you and we got back together. In return he would never get in contact with you again"

At his words Caroline's world shattered and she turned to Klaus with glassy eyes.

"Caroline you have to understand me love I had no other choice you gave me an ultimatum I had to…"

"Don't you ever dare to call me love again Klaus! You gave me to him, you left me with your biggest enemy, you threw me in his arms without even explaining to me why you left me."

While arguing they didn't see the other presence in the room, a shadow lurking in the dark.

"Caroline you have to understand I didn't have a choice it was either leaving you or watching you die!" Yelled Klaus without thinking. When he caught his words it was already to late.

"I was going to … die? But how Klaus? I was with you, safe from everything in the world. You are the most powerful being in the world and you said it yourself you would do anything to keep me safe. You can't be killed."

"I can't but you can." He whispered so silently that only supernatural could hear him.

"They said that if I don't leave you she will kill you. So I told you that I wanted more hybrids so that when I leave you don't come after me. That was the deal."

"A deal with whom Klaus?"

"With us." Haley popped out of the shadows and stood by Tyler.

"Tyler… but why?" Asked Caroline bewildered.

"Well Care it's pretty simple. I wanted something that Klaus couldn't have and Haley here wanted power. The kind of power that can only be acquired by becoming the Original hybrid's mate. In reality she had to become you." Finished Tyler.

"Since he couldn't kill Tyler or me for you made him swear he won't we made a deal with him. And now since he didn't honor his part of the deal he has to take responsibility for his actions." Haley was beaming, she'll finally get what she wanted.

Klaus growled. "You won't lay a hand on her. Now that she knows what happened I can kill you. Because no matter what happens after this I know now that it was better to kill you two and have her leave me than not knowing whether is she safe or in pain." Klaus positioned his body in front of Caroline and she took his left hand in both of hers. To say he was surprised was an understatement but with one look into her eyes he saw that she was on a way to forgive him and he grasped her hands even tighter.

"Look Tyler how cute they are. A big bad wolf in love with… well she isn't Red but a Barbie teenager."

Caroline was raging. "Shut up Haley or I'll make you." Her vampire face showing for all the world to see. And Klaus was never more proud in his life. This was his mate, her, his beautiful light and not some stupid werewolf whore.

"Oh Care but you didn't understand. We aren't here to kill you or Klaus." Tyler said smugly and pulled out a syringe with a fluid which had big particles in it. It looked like burned wood.

Without thinking Klaus went at Tyler and in the middle of the fight they both changed into wolves.

There in the middle of the room two girls were watching a large grey wolf growling at the even bigger golden one. T took Klaus mere minutes to have Tyler pinned on the ground by Haley's feet. And before Caroline could even react Haley pulled another syringe and injected the fluid into Klaus' bloodstream.

"Klaus, no." Screamed Caroline and went to help him. She got just in time to catch him into her arms.

"White oak ash. You idiot it will only slow me down it's not the real stake." Klaus was shaking from pain and rage the only comfort being Caroline's loving arms.

"Oh we know Klaus, but combined with a spell it will transfer all your powers to the closest being in species to you. Tyler."

At that moment a dark-skinned middle age woman started speaking incoherent words and Klaus put a hand on his heart in pain.

"Oh yes one more thing, you will be desiccated and during that time Tyler will be the most powerful being on the earth. No ordinary blood will bring you back."

"Klaus stay with me." Pleaded Caroline and looked at the witch. She vamp-speed to her and tried to kill her but Tyler was faster and stronger.

"No, no, no Caroline you don't get to save him and after the spell is finished you don't get to bring him back." She trashed in his arms and yelled Klaus' name. And in spite all of it she couldn't help him.

With the last ounce of strength he had in his body he looked at his love and seeing her crying pained his heart more than the spell.

He closed his eyes just for a second, her face ingrained into his brain and after that all went dark.

AN: So... Tyler and Haley want to conquer the world. Will they succeed and how will they wake up Klaus? I know a lot has happened in this chapter. Between finding the real reason for Klaus' departure to desiccating Klaus with a brand new spell.
