Caroline reached for his hand, "Thank you Klaus for everything," she said as she knotted off to sleep.

"Sweet dreams sweet heart." Klaus kissed her forehead and went off to find his brother.

"Elijah, good to see you aren't following that Gilbert girl around," Klaus said as he entered the library.

"Ah, Klaus, and Miss Forbes is safely transformed I assume." the elder original inquired.

"Yes, and know my attention can be on the ceremony to breaking this bloody curse. Is our little doppelganger, ready?"

"She is still human, though you should know the Salvatore brothers are trying to find a way for her to live through it."

"Well, have they discovered one yet?" Klaus snapped impatient with his proper brother.

"Not to my knowledge, though as you kindly mentioned earlier, I am not lurking around to hear." Elijah went passed Klaus and to the door. "Though if there is a way to save her they have ample resource to get it seeing as not many are too keen on you becoming more powerful." Elijah finished and walked out leaving Klaus by himself. Klaus grabbed his phone and called Katherine.

"Katherine, come to the mansion now!" and he hung up.

"Klaus, um. Klaus?" He heard a voice call. He went up stairs to see what was wrong. "Sorry, I know you said you had things to do, but I can't sleep. I don't know if Elizabeth is okay? What if something happens to her?"

"I saw her at the hospital she was born healthy and she should be able to go back home with your mom in a few days. We can look in on them then if you could like."

"Thank you Klaus. That means a lot." Klaus touched her face and wiped away a tear that had fallen with his thumb. He looked at her intense blue eyes looking back at him. He leaned forward looking at her lips and noticed something.

"Are you wearing my shirt?" he asked.

"Oh she looked down at herself and turned her head away from him embraced. I can't sleep in jeans so I just grabbed one of your shirts. I hope that's okay?"

"You look better in it anyway," he said leaning back into her. Caroline leaned in and they….

"Klaus, you annoying hybrid. You called my here to leave my standing at the door." Katherine shouted across the house. "I know you can hear me."

"Yes, I can hear you in your perpetually annoying voice," Klaus called back. Caroline giggled and pulled the blanket over her as Katherine had found Klaus' room.

"Ah, Caroline's here I see, so you picked a human. Oh no a Vampire!" Katherine said after a second look. Caroline gave Klaus a questioning look.

"No, I didn't. She is a guest. Excuse us love we need to talk privately," Klaus kissed her forehead and ushered Katherine out the door. "She is not to be any part of the sacrifice. Now, what I called you here for. My witch has come into town and is ready for tomorrow night. Is the werewolf secure?"

"Yes he is in the Lockwood cellar, along with Damon and Matt, the bartender at the grill." Katherine said.

"No, it can't be Matt. Find someone with no connection to the town." Klaus thought about Caroline's relationship to the quarterback and couldn't bring himself to hurt her more than he was by taking Elena.

"Okay, but you are going soft over a girl." Katherine said.

"You have a lot of work now go before I change my mind on your pardon."

*That Evening*

"I'm not sure about this," Caroline said as they stood on the porch of the Salvatore's.

"It will be fine," Klaus said as he knocked on the door. Stefan opened it a second later.

"Klaus, where is he?"

"I'm sure I don't know what you are talking about, but I know where she is," as he moved away for him to see Caroline.

"Caroline, you are alive! How? What did you do?" He turned to Klaus angrily.

"Nothing," Caroline interrupted. "He helped me. I can see Elizabeth grow up now."

"Caroline," Elena came to the doorway. "Caroline you are a vampire? I'm so glad you are alive or partially alive anyway!" They embraced each other. "Come in, tell me how." They sat down in the living room and Caroline explained what happened.

After she was done she asked, "Where is Damon, this is the part where he would make a snarky comment.

"He's gone, Care. He disappeared last night. I don't know that to do." Elena cried. Stefan rubbed her back, but didn't get closer.

"Nothing, you are better off without him." Caroline said.

"How can you say that? I love him! He is so good to me!" Elena yelled through sobs.

"Elena, he abused me. I was nothing to him and this just shows he didn't change for you like you thought. He treated me like trash and left me and now he has done the same to you. You are better off without him."

"He never loved you he was just using you to get to me. It was me he always wanted, just like it was me Stefan wanted. No one ever wants you. Damon just needed blood and a bang buddy and you gave yourself willingly. You basically asked for it."

"Watch it doppelganger!"

"No Klaus, it's okay." Caroline out a hand up to stop him and looked at Elena. "I never asked for it he compelled me and you know that. I'm glad he's gone and maybe Stefan should leave too, because he deserves someone who can give them their whole heart instead of have to share it with his brother. Let's go Klaus." Caroline got up.

"You are going to leave with him? You really have sunk low haven't you, Caroline." Elena said.

"He is better than Damon will ever be."

*The Car Ride Back*

"Do you want to talk about it?" Klaus asked trying to remain calm after what he just heard. He didn't know who to kill first, but they would both be gone tomorrow,

"No, I just want to go back to your extremely comfortable bed."

"Well, I'm afraid that it will be the moderately comfortable guest bed that you will be gorging out on."

"Who said anything about gorging?" Caroline asked innocently.

"I have a sister, love; I know that all fights end in the woman eating her feelings."

"Well it also involves curling up on a comfy bed," Caroline said give Klaus her best puppy dog face.

"Fine, but I'm not sleeping on the couch." Klaus said. "Do you want me to track down Damon and beat him up; I have plenty of built up angry that I would love to get out. How could someone do that? Just use you like that?" Klaus pulled up to his house and cut the engine. "You deserve more than that Caroline. You deserve someone who will give you everything, and love you no matter what." He didn't realize as he was saying it he was talking about what he wanted to be for her.

"Klaus, do you really mean that?" She asked as he opened her car door for her and walked her inside.

"Yes, every word," he said as they stopped at the front door. She took a step close to him now that they were face to face.

"No one has ever said anything like that to me, Thank you Klaus." Caroline leaned toward him. Klaus brushed her hair back and rested his hand her cheek. She leaned into his hand and look into his eyes. They moved closer and Caroline brushed her lips against his. Klaus immediately seized the moment and crashed his lips upon her in haste, but yet it was still so gentle. They were so caught up in each other. Caroline finally pulled away. "So how about that ice cream in bed."

Well its another chapter in less than a month...
