Klaus was feeling light-headed but he put all his strength in order to stay awake and alarmed. He had to stay awake for her, he had to get her out of this mess. He had made a promise to himself that he wasn't going to destroy her and he wasn't about to break it. So he tried with all he had, to ignore the pain, to ignore the pull to the darkness. He had to talk to his mother...he had to talk to her so his plan could work. The police would be here in any moment.
He heard his mother's voice in the distance at last giving orders.
'' Caroline let him to me sweetheart, you need to call an ambulance, he needs it. Rebekah call the police and Kol go clean the knife from fingertips.'' Esther instructed and everyone quickly obeyed her orders.
''Even if it has no fingertips mother they gonna know it's one of us. They're gonna find out it's her.'' Kol replied while he still tried to grasp what happened.
''It will buy us time till I think something that can save her.'' she reassured him and went back at taking care of Klaus.
When Kol left Klaus had the opportunity he wanted. He gripped her hand tight and forced her to look at his eyes.
'' Don't speak...don't speak to anyone till I do.'' Klaus murmured between his teeth trying to control his breathing.
'' I can fix this, I can...don't speak to anyone.'' he repeated to her and tighten his hold on her.
'' It's my place to protect all of you not yours. He shot you, he shoot you in cold blood cause I wasn't brave enough to leave him all these years ago.'' Esther cried as her son's blood started to stain her clothes.
Klaus just went on like he haven't heard a word she said.
'' Caroline is my responsibility. What has to be done only I can do it.'' he managed to say before Caroline returned to his side.
''It's here... the ambulance just came.'' she said the same moment the paramedics came in and went to attend Klaus.
Caroline watched as her brother was carried away and didn't dare to look back at her father's body. She killed him, she could still feel her hands pushing the knife inside his chest. She knew that she shouldn't feel remorse , he had tried to kill Klaus but he was still her father and she had ended him. She wanted to scream till her lungs used all the air but she couldn't. She didn't have the luxury to crack now. She had to stay strong for him, Klaus needed her.
'' Is it true, Klaus? I need to know.'' Caroline heard her mother asking her brother as he was moved inside the ambulance.
Klaus turned his head and didn't breathe a word. Caroline exchanged a look with him and he extended his hand at her urging Caroline to come with. She run without any hesitation, being in this house was driving her crazy. She needed to get away from her father, no Mikael.
She was ready to go inside when the paramedics stopped her.
''Only family members can escort him, miss.'' he stated
'' I'm his Sister. I'm his twin. Where he goes...I go.'' she declared and moved them aside to go sit beside him.
He smiled slightly as she took his hand again and squeezed it.
'' Took you long enough. '' he teased but his face twitched all of a sudden and he started coughing blood.
'' Fuck, Klaus. Don't you dare leave me.'' she said and hold her sobs inside again as the doctors put an oxygen mask on him.
'' I will never abandon you again.'' he promised but she could see in his eyes that he was lying.
Klaus didn't know when he had passed out as he opened his eyes...he could see he was probably in the hospital right now. He tried to get up but his shoulder was burning. Where was she?
'' Caroline went to bring me some coffee.'' he explained and he turned to see Stefan sitting next to him.
'' Stefan when did you come?'' he asked and tried to get up again but it didn't work.
'' Did they give me anesthetics?'' he complained and Stefan just sighed.
'' God, I hope so. If that's what it's needed to knock you out...I must start buying some.'' he said and grinned at him.
'' I almost died show some respect, Salvatore.'' Klaus groaned and wanted nothing more that to go back to sleep...his arm was killing him.
'' I text your sister that you're awake. '' he said and looked relieved.
'' Really, I'm impressed that you would even use my state to show her you're the good boyfriend. Have you no shame? '' he teased and Stefan was tempted to throw his cellphone at him.
'' Oh, shut up or I call the nurses again. And can I ask what have you planned? Your family won't even talk to the police about what happened in there.'' Stefan uttered and all the humor between them was gone.
'' Are they here? '' Klaus asked and looked around like they were hiding behind the curtains.
'' Not yet but they're on the way. They're hoping they have better luck at getting answers from you and Caroline.'' he pointed and got up.
'' Stefan, remember when you said that you would stay by my side if I even needed help? '' Klaus asked and for the first time in a long time he had to rely on someone else than himself.
Stefan nodded and there was a glimpse of determination in his eyes.
'' I want you to delay Care. I want to talk to the police first and I need to be alone. '' he informed him and Stefan's eyes widen.
'' No way, I'm letting you do what I think you want to do. '' Stefan replied and his tone was angry.
'' Take care of Rebekah and try to stop Kol from getting into trouble all the time. And Caroline...try to support her...don't let he be alone. '' Klaus went on ignoring his friend's protest.
'' Was it you? Did you kill him at least or are you doing it for her?'' Stefan growled and started pacing in the room.
'' I won't let her go in jail Stefan. I got her into this...I will get her out.'' he murmured and he thought of his promise that he would kill everyone that got in their way but in the end it was she that protected them.
'' Damn Klaus, I told you this wasn't going to end well. Caroline will never let you do this.'' Stefan said and stopped infront of him.
'' Who will they believe me or her? Who would think a girl like her could do it? I have a reputation for being violent even everyone at school will say that it was me.'' Klaus pointed out and Stefan could see that he was right.
If it ever came to him and Caroline everyone would believe she was just trying to protect him.
'' I have to separate myself from her anyway. Look what I turned her into. If I never kissed her she wouldn't be a killer. I know I'm not strong enough to stay away but if I'm locked up I will have no choice.'' he whispered and his hands had turn into fists.
'' She would kill you herself if she finds out.'' Stefan warned him.
'' Just promise you will look after them.'' he said and extended his hand.
Stefan gripped him tight thinking about how long it will be till he can talk to his friend again.
'' Say it was self-defense at least, you idiot.'' he said and let go of his hand.
He moved out to find Caroline when he heard Klaus murmuring ''Thank you for everything.''
Stefan spotted her as she was heading back to Klaus's room. Damn. Klaus for making him do this and damn him for what he was about to do. It had to be another way than him ending up in prison. Stefan will never admit it to Klaus but he consider him more than a friend, he was a brother to him. He loved Damon but he could never trust him after he stole Elena for him, after making his life miserable just because Elena left him for Mat after a while. Klaus had stood by his side whenever he needed him, he had even helped him ask out Rebekah which made him to be forever at his dept.
If he could not imagine how he would handle years without getting on Klaus's nerves, he couldn't imagine how Caroline will endure his absence for even a week. I don't think they were ever separated for more than three days and he wondered who would break first. Klaus in prison or Caroline waiting for him?
'' Here's your coffee, Stefan'' she whispered and she seemed tired and disoriented.
Her hair was a mess, her eyes red from crying and there was blood stains covering her clothes.
'' Thanks. Why don't you go home Caroline? I will look after him till you return. You need to change you clothes.'' he pointed out and Caroline raise her gaze while nervously fixing her hair.
'' I don't want to go home. '' she said and started playing with her hair again.
'' Caroline you need to...'' he started but she stopped him.
'' I can't go home...I can't. Not yet.'' she insisted and her voice was weak.
Caroline couldn't face what she's done yet not before talking to her brother first.
'' I need to see Klaus.'' she murmured and tried to walk to his room but Stefan prevented her from moving.
'' What the hell are you doing?'' Caroline shouted finding some of her strength back.
Stefan looked nervously around and was glad noone was around. Then he found what he was looking for. The small storage room he had seen earlier.
'' I'm sorry but we need to talk.'' he declared and shoved her inside before closing the door behind them and locking it.
Klaus heard voices coming out of his door and he was sure that the police had arrived, He hoped Stefan had succeeded and Caroline wouldn't come storming in. He pushed the thoughts of her away and concentrated at what he had to do.
Thankfully, Klaus was a talented liar. It was one of his traits that got him in and out of trouble a thousand times. He knew what people wanted to hear, what words he had to use to make them believe his side of the story. The first impression was crucial he had to look the part...to play the part. He had to look like someone who was capable of killing his own father, then some little lies with hint of truth inside them and he had them dancing to his tune.
The door opened the moment he was sitting up and he watched as two policemen entered his room. The one was a young, tall, well-trained man with brown hair that it was a little longer that he thought it was appropriate for his kind of job. He had an air of confidence around him like he had done this a thousand times. Besides him was a young, petite, brunette with hair that reached her chin and one of these fancy glasses. She was cute he had to admit but there was something about her that told him that he could kick anyone ass if she wanted him like his Caroline. He had to understand who was in charge of this case so he could turn his attention to him or her.
'' Hello Mr. Mikaelson. I'm Caleb and this is my partner Vera. '' the man introduced himself and pull his police ID from his pocket.
'' We are sent here by the police department to investigate the attempt of murder against you but more importantly the murder and death of you father, Mikael Mikaelson that occurred today between 8 and 9 pm'' the woman informed him and had an impatience look on her face.
The girl probably just got her job and was eager to prove her worth. That meant she wanted to solve this case and catch and real murderer fast and that meant she will more willingly accept his story than the guy besides her who was probably her superior...at least for now.
'' We tried to talk to your mother and your siblings earlier but they refuse to even talk to us.'' Caleb went on even though he realized that Klaus didn't utter a word either.
What's up with his family? He wondered but Vera cut his thoughts.
'' Where is your other sister, Caroline? '' she asked him and looked around the room like she could find her here.
'' You don't need her here believe me. I am the man you seek.'' Klaus confessed and saw Caleb's head shot up like he couldn't believe that he really talked.
'' Do you mean you killed him or you know who did?'' Vera asked again before Caleb could phrase a question.
That was odd. Klaus couldn't understand their dynamic. He was in charge but somehow it seemed she had the upper hand in the relationship except if...
'' Wait are you two dating?'' he asked and watched as the girl turned pink and almost lost all her nerve.
'' That's why he lets you ask all the questions, doesn't he?'' he said and smirked at her enjoying her uneasiness but Caleb stepped forward.
'' I know what you're doing and it won't work on me.'' he said calmly and a recorder appeared out of his pocket.
'' Now, can you describe to me what happened tonight.'' he questioned him and Klaus cleared hit throat before talking.
'' I came home, my father shot me and I stabbed him till he had no more air to breath.'' he confessed coldly and there was no sign of emotion on his voice that made Vera shiver inside.
Caleb sighed in frustration and repeated his question.
'' If you want to be a smartass I can do it too. But first believe me when I say that we would stay here till I know every single detail and secondly we two will play a big part in your trial if you really did it so I suggest you to make our job as easier as you can.'' he warned and returned his mocking smirk back at him.
Damn him, Klaus hated him already.
''Why tonight? What made you father snap? '' the brunette girl asked again and took a step towards me while her hand was on her gun.
'' Me and my twin, Caroline, are adopted. We just learned that this morning from our mother and we needed some time away as you can imagine so we went to our house outside the city. We came home tonight mostly to speak to Kol and Rebekah. Caroline entered first and I felt her freeze. I didn't know what was happening till I heard my father's voice commanding us to go inside. And then I saw that he had gone completed mad. He was holding a gun, my brother and sister was trembling at a corner and my mother was at his feet with a black eye and other injuries as you may have noticed.''
Klaus knew that was the easy part, that was the truth before the lies.
'' Was his reaction out of character or was this violence behavior a common thing?'' Caleb asked and his eyes were cold showing no emotion.
'' If you ask if he was holding a gun against me everyday...then the answer was no. He reached that level of craziness slow but steady. My father had a very bad temper and my mother and me were usually at the receiving of it. Hitting me was a casual thing but he never before had the intention to kill me. I guess most of his hate came cause I wasn't his real son but who knows what is...was in that man's head.'' Klaus murmured and looked outside the window cause he hated seeing pity in their eyes.
''What occurred when you entered the house? '' Vera asked and her voice and facial expression was softer now and she wasn't that guarded around him.
'' He started screaming things about leaving the house without his permission, that his mother had no right to tell us the truth and that he should never allow our bastard's blood to corrupt his family. He could say whatever he wanted for me but say a bad word about Caroline infront of me and I lose it. I snapped at him, telling him how everyone hated him and when Kol took my side and not his...his anger rose and he shoot me. My father you see only knew how to communicate with violence. He was pointing the gun at my mother then and I got up despite the pain and grabbed the knife that was already on the floor, it had probably fallen from my mother's hands when he attacked her. I used all my strength and throw him to the ground. His gun fell from his arms and I used this opportunity to stab him.'' Klaus finished and grabbed his hand to stop it from trembling.
He did it now, he confessed, he was going to prison, he saved her. Caroline would hate me but he couldn't care less. He was never going to allow her to go to prison for a murder he should have commit. He should be the one to kill Mikael not her.
'' How many times? '' Caleb asked and looked into his eyes searching for something.
'' What? '' Klaus asked not understanding what he meant. Why wasn't he in cuffs already?
'' Ηοw many times you stabbed him? '' Caleb repeated the question and Klaus froze.
He didn't know how many Caroline stab him...he could only faintly hear her voice and Mikael's screams when he was down.
Caroline was hitting Stefan with everything she got but he wasn't moving an inch and was covering her mouth in order not to scream. She knew that somehow that was Klaus's doing but that didn't stop her for kicking Stefan hard enough that he released her.
'' Damn Caroline. Please don't scream cause I really don't want to hit you.'' Stefan warned and her voice stuck in her throat.
Hit her? What the hell was going on?
'' What is all this? Why are you keeping me here? '' she demanded and Stefan could see the resemblance with Klaus clearly when they were angry.
A king and Queen that's what everyone used to call them and that was what the truly were.
'' It's better you don't know. I will let you out as soon as they leave.'' he noted and rested his head against the door.
'' They? What are you talking about? Is Klaus behind this?'' she asked and watched as Stefan avoided her gaze.
'' He is, isn't he? What the hell...'' she started to say but suddenly she froze in her place and her eyes widen.
'' No, no, no, no. It can't be. He can't be so stupid. He can't do what I imagine...'' she mumbled in a hurry and fall on Stefan trying to reach for the door again.
'' Hey, calm down. It's gonna be ok. It's what he wanted.'' Stefan tried to calm her but it was useless.
'' I am not gonna let him take the blame for me. You hiding me from the police, Klaus doesn't want me near them cause I would tell them the truth. LET ME OUT!'' she screamed and Stefan covered her mouth again.
'' There is no way he could live a peaceful day if he knew you were rotting in prison. You're stronger than him Caroline, you can handle being without him better. You must be the one to stay home and don't think for a moment that I don't hate what he's doing as much as you do. I know he loves you Caroline and that you love him too, really love him so don't stop him cause it would be a lot worse for him if you do. '' Stefan whispered and removed his hand from her mouth.
'' I'm not...I'm not stronger.'' she cried and fell to the floor.
'' I want to go back. I want to go back to the house. I told him we shouldn't leave. I want to go back.'' she sobbed and Stefan hugged her as he felt his heart breaking for her.
Klaus tried to think very hard, collecting every memory his brain could have stored. Caroline has stabbed Mikael twice he was sure but it maybe be three too. He couldn't know. They were both looking at him. He couldn't delay his answer or they would know that he was lying. There is no way he would let a detail like that send Caroline to prison. Then Kol's voice came to his mind...telling Caroline that it was over, that it was enough. He stabbed him more than necessary that must be it.
'' Three, I stabbed him tree times. One for me, one for my sister and one for my family.'' he said and went closer to him and watched fear in his eyes for the first time.
'' Three was more than necessary.'' Vera noted as she thought that he probably was dead after the second blow.
'' Like I said one was for my satisfaction. '' he claimed and throw her one of his evil grins again.
He was right. He thanked his luck for the first time.
That man is definitely killer material but something was off .
Vera didn't voiced her thoughts cause it was just her instinct talking and she didn't want to overstep her boundaries with Caleb again. She placed a hand lightly at his back and he leaned back like he was looking for it's warmth.
'' Klaus Mikaelson you are arrested under the accusation of murder. '' Caleb stated and got the cuffs out of his jacket.
He bound one of his hands on the bed frame and Klaus's didn't offer any resistance like he was bored of the situation.
'' You would stay in here till your recovery and they will be guards around you 24/7. You will be transferred to county jail till your trial .'' he announced and whispered something at Vera's ear.
'' I am going to call the office. If you see his sister try to get something out of her and I will try his family again. Toby and Spencer will be here soon to take your place. ''
''Don't worry sweetheart...I am not resisting.'' he teased and Caleb thrown him a cold look before moving out.
They stood in silence for a while until Klaus couldn't stand it and was afraid of what Caroline would do when Stefan can't hold her anymore.
'' You can't believe anything Caroline says.'' he told her and she raised her head...her eyes filled with surprise.
'' Why?'' she asked simply.
'' Do you have siblings officer? '' he said and she felt like he used the wold ''officer'' sarcastically.
'' No.'' she answered simply clearly not enjoying where this was going.
'' Well, let em explain it to you then. We can love a thousand people in our lives with a thousand different ways but nothing will come close to the love between siblings. We will do anything to protect them, anything to make them happy cause our own happiness depends on it and we won't ask nothing in return cause they're family. Now imagine that feeling magnified in twins. Me and Caroline will walk on fire for eachother, in a home like ours we were all we had. Caroline will try to protect me, even try to take the blame or throw it to someone else. '' Klaus told her and was praying she will understand.
'' But that will mean, she will got to prison! Why would she do that?'' Vera asked again oblivious to the irony her question held.
'' We don't really think in this situations...we just act. She would think it's better her than me. I have never been away from her more than two days you know. I never thought I will have to know how life without her is so soon. Is there a chance to get out some day?'' Klaus whispered the last part like he was embarrassed to show weakness.
'' Well if you go for self-defence and the fact that you were protecting your family plus your father's violent behavior they might ignore the vengeful part in the murder. Don't get your hopes up that means you can be sentenced for ten years or least but it all depends in the judge. '' she informed him and watched a flinch of pain on his face before he hide it.
'' Ten years huh? There is no way she will wait that long. '' he murmured and she couldn't hear what he said.
Caroline raised up from the floor and hated that Stefan has seen her like this. He looked at her like he understood but noone really could.
'' Can you let me out now? I swear I will say whatever lies he wants me too. '' she pleaded and started fixing her hair and wiping her tears.
'' Caroline...'' Stefan began but Caroline didn't have more time to argue.
'' I gave you my promise...I just want to see him now that there is still time. I just want to see him.'' she insisted and Stefan moved aside to let her pass.
'' I'm trusting you.'' he said and wished he wasn't wrong or Klaus would never forgive him.
Caroline run at the hallways trying to reach him. He had already confessed for that she was sure but had they took him away? Had she lost her last chance to see him? She couldn't go on all these years if they had stolen him from her already.
When she reached the door she saw that there were two policemen guarding it. She didn't care at all. She would see Klaus no matter what.
She walked towards the door proudly till the woman stopped her.
'' Sorry miss but you can't enter without permission.'' she ordered her and pointed to her to stay away.
'' Let me pass.'' she said calmly and her hands turned into fists.
'' As she said you can't enter for the time being miss. Please step away.'' he warned but Caroline was in no state to pass.
'' No, I will see him. It's my brother in there. I almost lost him today and I haven't seen him since the moment he passed out in my hands while I was trying to stop his bleeding. You will let me pass.'' she screamed now and was tired of people locking her out, she was tired of staying away from him.
Klaus heard voices outside and even Vera got up from her chair.
'' What's going on?'' she asked surprised by the loud screaming outside.
'' I'm pretty sure that Caroline just came to see me.'' he smirked and now Vera could hear clearly a female voice demanding to let her see her twin.
'' Wow, your sister is doing quite the mess by herself.'' she said and sounded impressed.
'' Can you let her in? I need to talk to her alone.'' he begged her but she declined.
'' I can't leave you alone.'' she told him but like Caroline he wasn't about to give up.
'' Where can I go? There will be three policemen outside, I am bound to the bed and I think that if I jump from the third floor there is the very high possibility of me dying. Look I just need to calm her down. I will go to prison anyway just give me this moment.''
Vera knew she shouldn't but for some reason she could sense that he really needed to. Damn her for being this sympathetic...she hoped Caleb didn't learn about this.
'' Fine...15 minutes...nothing more.'' she explained and went to open the door.
Caroline was surprised when the door open and another woman came out. She could see Klaus in the distance and she felt her heart could explode from happiness. One look at him and she was already feeling her blood pressure dropping.
'' 15 minutes sweetheart.'' she said simply and Caroline resisted the urge to hug her.
She passed through the guards and winked at them. She closed the door and she could hear all three of the start fighting.
She leaned against the door and watched him...neither of them talking, He looked tired and worn out and he looked in pain. Caroline hated to think what Mikael had done to them what he was still doing even from the grave.
'' Hello Caroline'' Klaus greeted her and his voice was filled with emotion when he said her name.
Like calling her name again and again was enough to endure everything he had been through. He looked at her like she was his poison and his cure at the same time. And Caroline couldn't handle all these feelings boiling inside her anymore. They had promised forever to eachother, made love, he killed her father and now Klaus was lost to her...paying for her crimes. It will be too much in anyone.
She speed forward and Klaus didn't even have time to react as she fell on him hard and captured his lips.
She kissed him like he was drowning and she was giving her breath to save him. Klaus was lost in the passion of the kiss as she lifted her up and placed her above him even though the movement almost break his wrist that was still in the cuff but in this moment he couldn't feel pain only love for her. They were in a sitting position which allowed Caroline to invade Klaus's mouth and taste everything he had inside. Klaus moved his hands from caressing her hips, to exploring her waist and landed on her face. He repeated his actions again and again like he couldn't be satisfied no matter how many times he touched her. With every kiss he tried to take away every guilt she had from taking her pain. Caroline moaned in pleasure and bite Klaus's lip until she drawn blood and then she licked it off gently. She was punishing and forgiving him at the same time. They slowed the kiss until it was painfully deep. Both now hold eachother's face and was kissing not for pleasure but to feel one again. They didn't have long and the both wanted to melt and become one person so noone could tear them apart. Klaus could handle these slow kisses anymore that had more meaning than any of the others they shared.
'' Caroline...'' he murmured but instead of stopping her...he changed the angle of the kiss so that he could steal her soul and left her breathless.
''I know Klaus but I need a little bit more. One more kiss.'' she whispered and Klaus was unable to move a muscle at the sound of her voice.
It had only been a few hours and he had missed everything she offered him. He had missed his sister. How could he manage to be away from her?
Caroline released his mouth and they both whimpered at the loss. She rested her forehead on his and they took deep breaths trying to find themselves again, trying to be separate creatures.
'' We need to talk.'' Caroline reminded them and Klaus just nod his head.
'' Why don't you let me be the one to save you, just once?'' she said and opened her eyes to look at his.
'' You did. You protected us all when you killed him. Now it's time for me to play my part. '' he confessed and moved her hair behind her ears to see her face better.
'' I don't want you to play any part. You can't leave me...not now.'' she complained and her fingers tighten around his shirt like she could keep him here by her will.
'' There will never be a time that we will be ready to part Caroline but we have no choice anymore.'' he said and tried to untangle her for him but he failed
'' There is always a choice.'' she pressed and didn't let him go.
''Maybe but for me this is the only option.'' he stated and Caroline felt her heart breaking.
'' And what am I supposed to do? Leave my life like none of this ever happened? Like you never happened?'' she said and kissed him again softly but he pulled away.
'' YES. Listen to me Caroline. I want you to forget me, I want you to move on and find happiness. Don't wait for me. '' he repeated and he tried to make her understand that it was better to erase him for her memory.
Klaus wanted her to have the family she always wanted, he didn't want her to cry for him anymore.
Caroline face harden at his words and she looked almost mad as she grabbed his face in her hands.
'' No, you listen to me Klaus. I will never forget you and I will never give us up. I can wait forever and then some more for you. Klaus you're my happiness and there's noone in this whole, cursed world that could ever take your place.'' she said and this time it was Klaus that pulled her for a kiss that made them both dizzy.
'' I love you, remember that.'' Klaus whispered against her lips and Caroline nod her head.
'' Promise me that you won't push me away.'' she demanded with a clear voice.
'' I promise and you will never shed one more tear for me. '' he urged her and hold her hands in his.
'' I promise. I love you.'' she said and smiled at him...her last real smile in a long, long time.
One Month Later
The court was filled with people that hold their breath waiting for the judge to make his decision.
Elijah and Katherine has returned soon after Mikael's death and had found the best lawyer for Klaus and supported their family through everything.
Now they were sitting besides Kol that done his best to support Esther who tried not to cry.
Rebekah was holding Stefan's hand almost breaking it to and Stefan was looking at his friend trying to make peace with the fact that it had really come to this. His friend was going to prison.
But Klaus's gaze was turned on the only person that existed for him in this room, Caroline.
He done nothing but to stare at her throughout all the process like he tried to memorize her. Caroline never turned her eyes away but was looking at him with the same intensity and trying to give him her strength.
But suddenly all the faces turned as the judge rose up to announce his decision.
'' Klaus Mikaelson the court finds you guilty of the death of Mikael Mikaelson.'' he declared and you could see people raising up and loud voices all over the room.
''Silence in the court.'' he shouted and then continued.
'' You're sentenced to five years due to evidence of self-defense and prvous violence behavious from the victim. '' he pointed out and left the court.
There were all in shock except Caroline that run from her spot to reach him as they moved Klaus away.
She reached him on the last minute but couldn't even touch him.
'' KLAUS.'' she shouted and he turned to look at her and gave her the most sad smile she had ever seen.
'' I'm sorry.'' he mouthed and Caroline could not even understand for what as the doors closed and he disappeared behind them.
She wanted to cry but she had promised him that she won't and tears stopped coming since then.
Klaus was changing his clothes to the orange suit and he tried to remember Caroline's face again. For the first time he took his decision...this was his biggest fear that he would forget her face. And only the reminder of her could keep him sane, could get him through this. He wished he could have a pencil and a paper so he could draw her. Five years were better than he expected but it was still a long time of not seeing her.
'' Vera? '' he called and the officer that was still responsible for him turned her head.
'' Yes.'' she answered and turned to look at him.
'' I want you to forbid someone for visiting me. '' he informed her and she looked relieved that it was only this.
''I can do that. It's your choice who you want to see. Tell me the name.'' she told him but Klaus was hesitant to speak like it hurt him.
'' Caroline. Caroline Mikaelson. I don't want any visits from her in all my years here.'' he said and turned his back on her leaving her speechless.
'' Your sister? You don't want to see your sister?'' she asked and couldn't understand his reason.
She watched him this month and she knew that Caroline was the only thing that could bring a smile on his face. Klaus practically worshiped her.
'' She won't move on as long as she holds on to me. I am just cutting the last straw for her.'' he said without turning to look at her so she couldn't see how much this was ruining him.
But he had to do it even if it meant breaking his promise to her.
He and Caroline was over the moment he stepped a foot in here.
So this is it! Sorry for the long, long wait. The next one is the LAST one and it will be five years after maybe with some flashbacks. Till next time my sweethearts.
Please review and I will give each one of you a kiss.
P.S. (1) Caleb, Spencer and Toby are Pll characters and a favour to my friend Vera which I put in my fic cause she going to do the same for me in her fic. *excited*
P.S. (2) Without the constant reminders of Yana *QueenofKlaroline* I would never be able to write this #ILY
