A Girl worth Living For
Chapter 7: Done in the Dark
She stood there motionless looking into the eyes of the man that she fell out of love with, who cheated on her, and bite her. She felt like the wind has been knocked out of her, not because she still loved Tyler it was because she knew Tyler would tell everyone and she didn't think she was ready to tell everyone yet.
"Tyler, ugh what are you doing here?" She asked in a whisper.
"I should be asking you the same thing, and in Klaus's shirt. Has he compled you? He said alarmed.
"What? No Tyler how could you think that" She said shocked.
"Because you're over here opening the door in his shirt and your hair a mess, what am I suppose to think?" he said trying to look behind her in the house.
"How about I'm here because I want to" she said crossing her arms over her chest.
"Why? Is this because of what I did?" he said as he looked down at the ground.
"No, it's not what you did, to tell you the truth Tyler, before you came back I started felling bad because you loved me so much and I didn't love you the same anymore. I could feel you becoming distant, so thought you could tell" She confessed.
"Now I know he has compeled you" Tyler pushed Caroline away and ran into the house. "Klaus, where are you?" He yelled, just then Klaus appeared in front of him in a flash.
"Well mate I was wondering when you would show your face, what has it been 4 months?" He said with a smirk, all Tyler saw was Klaus shirtless and he looked between Klaus and Caroline and anger filled with his eyes. In a flash Tyler had his hands around Klaus's neck.
"How could you do that, comple her to think she fell out of love with me and in love with you" He spat.
"Tyler stop it, he didn't compel me" Caroline yelled not wanting to get in the middle of a wolf fight. Just then while Tyler was distracted Klaus flipped him over and had him on the ground.
"You know mutt I could rip your heart out right now, but since Caroline loves you for whatever reason, I won't do that." He said releasing Tyler.
"So Tyler why are you here anyway" Caroline said obviously annoyed.
"So this is for real? Your actually with him, did you forget what he did, do our friends know?" He asked still angry.
"No Tyler I didn't forget what he has done, nor do I excuse them. But I have got to know other side of him, and just because he did bad things doesn't make him a monster" She said walking over to Klaus. He put his arm around her.
"He killed people, Caroline" he said yelling.
"So have I Tyler, or did you forget the man's life I took, so have you or do you not remember the girl you killed to become what you are today. You don't make yourself a monster, other people do. Who are we to judge, of course he has killed more people than we have combined, but he was only trying to make sure his family was safe. I hate him for killing our loved ones, but that doesn't mean I have a right to judge him. I love him, Tyler" She confessed.
"I can't believe you Caroline, You know it wasn't my fault she died it was Katherine's fault. Matter of fact all my murders have been because of him and You were the first on the kill Klaus team, now you're sleeping with him." He spat.
"You don't understand, but that's your fault. Can you just tell us what you're here for?" she said with an attitude.
"Yes, can you get on with it so I and my girlfriend can go on with our day" Klaus said with a smile.
"So he is your boyfriend now, this must be a dream. What does Bonnie think, she hates him more than anyone." He said defeated.
"Bonnie is just fine with it" Bonnie said walking into the house. "So am I "Matt said walking through the door with Rebecah and Kol.
"So we are all with them now, is that it?" he said shocked that his friends were ganging up on him to save Klaus.
"Tyler they haven't did anything wrong lately, all they wanted was their family." Caroline said.
"Fine, you know what I hope you all are happy with each other and that they turn on you like everyone else. Remember they have Michael's blood running through them" He looked at them than smirked at Klaus. "Well not you, your farther didn't want anything to do with you both of them." He said.
Just as the last words left his mouth, Klaus had his hand in his chest.
"Your pushing it Tyler, don't make me end your life" He said gripping Tyler's heart.
"Nik, stop it" Caroline said putting a hand on his shoulder. He release Tyler and he slid down the wall, bonnie used her magic to give him one of those headaches until Caroline stopped her. She approached Tyler.
"If you ever make a comment like that again, I will personality rip your heart out and let Kol play baseball with it. Do you understand?" She said as her eyes glowed bright red, He nodded.
"Good now leave, because Nik has changed but one more comments like that and I won't stop him, here is a tip doesn't insult a room full of originals." With that she lifted Tyler up and threw him out of the door. Everyone left the room and went their separate ways, just Klaus and Caroline stood in the study. He was still standing there frozen with anger from Tyler's harsh words. She slowly approached him and wrapped her arms around him.
"Nik, its okay I love you" she said whispering in his ear. He didn't want anyone to know but he still had nightmares about his step farther. The only reason Caroline knew is because he tossed and turned in his sleep and she was always there to calm him down.
"Just breath, I'm here it's going too alright" after a couple of seconds he wrapped his arms around her.
"You're fine, Nik" She said.
"I'm sorry, it's just it took everything I had not to rip his heart out." He said angry.
"No need to be sorry, as much as you wanted to kill him you didn't and I love you for that" She said leaning in.
"What did I do to deserve someone as special as you" He said with a smile.
"I don't know, maybe you don't deserve me" she said with a smile. He leaned in to kiss her, she leaned in and their lips met. It felt good and Caroline felt safe and loved she knew she had made the right choice. They pulled away and she smiled.
"You know I have to tell them now" she said sitting on the staircase. Klaus walked over and sat down next to her holding her hand.
"Who?" he asked obviously knowing who she was referring to.
"Elena, Stefan, My mom, and Damon" She said as she dropped her head.
"I know you want me to come with you?" he asked.
"No it would be better if I did this alone" She said.
"Here" he said handing her, her phone. " You left it in my car when you went shopping". She grabbed her phone and called Elena.
"Hey Elena, where are you?" Caroline asked when she picked up.
"At Stefan's why?" Elena said as if she was tired.
"Are Damon and Stefan there?" she asked.
"Yea. Why" she asked confused.
"Would you mind if I came over?" Caroline asked.
"No, come over" she said.
"Okay give me 20 minutes." Caroline said
She shut her phone and took a deep breath.
"Well I better get ready for Damon's sarcastic comments and Stefan and Elena's disappointed looks" She with a depressed laugh. Klaus pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear."Its going to be alright sweetheart, one day at a time" he said referring to the time he told her that on the plane. She pulled away.
"You make me sound like I have a drug problem?" She said with a smile and so did he.
"Thank you" she said getting up to walk up the stairs.
"For what?" he walked next to her.
"For not killing him, old Klaus would have ripped his heart out the moment he made contact with you."
"Well I know how much you care for him and you shouldn't have to see me kill him, did you believe all the stuff you said about me. That I killed to get my family back, and you can't judge me." He said as they walked into his room.
"I can't judge you and I'm still pretty pissed that you have ruined a lot of people's lives, but I did fall in love you knowing what you did and what you do." She said pulling her clothes from her bag.
"Thank you and I know what you are about to do is hard for you, but it will get easier" he kissed her and she walked into the bathroom.
Caroline showered and changed into some jeans and a blue tank top with her leather jacket, she walked out of Klaus's room down the stairs and into the study where she saw Klaus and bonnie.
"I'm leaving, I'll be back" she said walking over to hug Klaus.
"Okay love, it's going to be okay" he said kissing her hair.
"Where are you going and why you two are acting like she going away to battle" Bonnie said looking at the two of them.
"I'm going to tell Elena" Caroline finally spoke.
"Are you going alone?" she asked.
"Yea, I don't want a repeat of what happened this morning." She confessed.
"That's silly, if Klaus is not coming I'm going you can't do it alone." Bonnie said getting up.
"I don't think so, if they knew you and matt knew before them they would be even madder, plus Tyler might have told them already and they are hurt."Caroline said.
"Don't worry about Tyler, at least for now. Kol snapped his neck and he is watching him.
"Thanks, but –"she was cut off Klaus.
"Bonnie, she should go with you I wouldn't want you to go alone" He said looking at her.
"Okay, but can we go so I can get these over with." Caroline said in defeat walking to the door.
Caroline and Bonnie drove in silence to the Salvatore boarding house, when they reach they reach the door Caroline took deep breath and looked at bonnie.
"Well this is it" she said.
"It's going to be okay care" Bonnie said. Caroline knocked on the door and Damon answered the door.
"Hey Barbie, I'm sorry about Tyler he was a dick anyway." He said with a smirk.
"Thanks Damon I guess" she said walking in to the house Bonnie behind her. Into the study where Elena and Stefan cuddled up on the couch.
"Hey, Care is everything okay" Elena said looking between Bonnie and Caroline.
"I think you all should sit." She said looking at all three of them, Damon sat next to Bonnie.
"Elena you know I love you and Stefan even Damon sometimes all of our friends and I would never do anything to hurt you all. But I have learned that I have to stop worrying about everyone's happiness before mine, and I hope you understand that as you know we can't help who we fall in love with. I know you may hate this and I don't blame you, but –"she stopped when the tears started to pool in her eyes.
"It's okay Care, We know. You love Klaus, we have known since He was returned to his body. We see how you make him change; you bring out the humanity in him and even though he has hurt a lot of people we understand" Elena said looking at Stefan.
"Yea, Blondie cut the water works we knew you wouldn't last long after the drawings and the wanting to know about you" Damon said.
"We all still love you Caroline" Stefan said smiling at her.
"Wow this went better than I thought, were you all compled?" Caroline asked with a laugh.
"No, what did you expect we would do?" Elena asked.
"I don't know, maybe Damon would say some sarcastic mean things and call me a traitor, maybe try to stake me and you and Stefan would forget you ever knew me" Caroline confessed.
"That could never happen; you have been my best friend for as long as I remember." Elena said walking over to hug her. Bonnie joined in, just then their door flung opened and Tyler walked in and saw them hugging.
"So your hugging, I assume you haven't told our friends that you are sleeping with the enemy." He spat out.
"For your information, I have and they understand" She said pulling away walking over to him.
"I can't believe you all, after what he did to us. He tried to kill you Elena and now you're ok with your best friend dating him?" Tyler yelled.
"We have not forgotten what he did, but if he makes her happy who are we to stop it, he hasn't did anything to bad lately. It's not like he can use my blood anymore, if he ever hurts her we all will be at his throat, but Caroline gave up her life for us and risk it for you. She deserves to happy and he makes her happy, am I his biggest fan? No, but if he can make my best friend feel alive again than who am I to take that away from her?" Elena said and Caroline smiled.
"So we all are supposed to be team originals now?" Tyler asked.
"No, Tyler you are suppose to move on, don't you have someone else, what happened to Amy?" Caroline told him.
"She dumped me, for another hybrid" he said in a whisper.
"Wait, that's why you came to Klaus's house this morning you, knew about us since the first day" she said
"Care, what are you talking about?" Elena asked confused.
"The night Tyler came over to tell me about Amy, he followed me there and I could have sworn I saw someone in the window of the study when we kissed. He went there this morning in hopes that Klaus would do something bad like kill him and I would have to step in, break up with him and go back to him. Well news flash he has changed because the old Klaus would have ripped your heart out the moment you pushed me." Caroline spat at him.
"You can't prove it that" Tyler said.
"Yes, I can the originals are really big on safety so they have video cameras and me and Klaus saw it and if you don't believe me then ask the original that's trying to hide outside of the door" she said loud enough for the person behind the door to hear.
Klaus walked in with a smirk on his face.
"Hello Elena, Stefan and Damon." Klaus said looking at them.
"Hey" they all said in unison.
"What are you doing her; Nik you promised you would let me do this alone." Caroline said trying to convince everyone that she was not happy that he was there which a lie was.
"Well I was just making you were okay, love" He said kissing Caroline on the cheek.
"I'm fine, how long were you out there" she asked him.
"I was in the car since you got here, but I didn't get out until Tyler came in." He said
"Hey Klaus can you clear something up, did you see Tyler the night Caroline came to visit" Elena asked.
"Not the same night, but Kol always checks the camera just in case and I did she Tyler." They all looked at Tyler.
"So if I did, I thought you were going to get drunk or kill yourself so when I saw you drive to Klaus's I went to the window and saw you kiss him. I came there this morning because I want you back Caroline" He finally confessed.
