Pushing the door in wider, Klaus stepped into the house. Cream colors, with dark brown, ballerina pink, and soft baby blues filled the room. White and stripped pillows, and throw blankets. It was feminine, and homey. A word Klaus doesn't use, moreover had no reason to use.

Until he found home.

And she ran away.

''You ran.''

''You hurt me.''

He narrowed his eyes. ''Interesting way of words you just said their love.''

''Words you don't listen to.''

''When? Last night?'' He said with wide eyes, arms outstretch. ''Was I not hearing your moans, whimpers? Was it not my name calling to me in my head? Did I not take care of you!'' He was yelling now, still gesturing.

''Not that way Niklaus!'' She could yell too.

He flashed right in front of her face. ''Well I didn't hear the word stop love. I saw or felt no restraint.'' He leaned closer to her ear and whispered, ''just a bitch laying down and taking what her Alpha gives her.''

Caroline reared back with a pure look of disgust and revulsion and slapped him across his face. She had a bought of satisfaction when he stumbled a bit. Not used to someone having equal strength as him.

He grabbed her wrist in a bone crushing grip. ''Never raise your hand to me again. Do you understand me! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!'' He roared.

Caroline yanked free, and grabbed the nearest object to throw at him. ''Don't you ever talk to me like that again. I'm not your little brainless whores you use, so you can feel the tiniest of love you've never gotten.'' She was fighting dirty, and hitting below the belt.

''Coming from the little white wolf, that preens under the littlest bit of attention. What love, no one gives it to? No!'' He acts shocked, then with a cruel smirk. ''But I give it to you. I've spoiled you with it. Obviously, I have to take a step back, because the spoiled brat look isn't one of my favorites.'' He mocked pouted.

Caroline didn't even flinch. But her eyes gave away the hurt at that accurate comment. At least the attention part.

''You know for someone whose so scared people will leave them, you do a good job with driving them away on your own. Poor Niklaus all alone. No one with him for a thousand years. Wandering aimlessly.'' She chuckled dryly and stared him down. ''If they knew what a cold, psychotic, masochistic, sadist, abomination bastard you are maybe they would stop pitying you.'' She said fake sympathetically.

Time stood still. Both frozen. So many words said, none they could take back. Ever. Low blows, and fighting dirty was on the menu tonight, and they weren't going to be disappointed.

It was a minute.

CRASH!

Caroline finds herself tossed like a rag dog around her kitchen. Her pelvic bones crushed on the corner of the granite island, her back bruised form the shove into the cabinets. Glass in her side from the window. It's all happening so fast, when suddenly she's held by her throat up against the wall.

''You think you know me, that one evening, and a midnight fuck allows you to talk to me in such a way. YOU KNOW NOTHING! I protect my family! YOU KNOW NOTHING! Just a little orphan wolf I took in. Oh how could I forget, not an orphan, worse an absentee mother, doesn't even know what kind of a monster is living under the same roof as her. What would mommy say? Or do?

''Hmm, if I remember, she'd probably call dear old dad, and have him strap you to a chair, and torture you. Sunlight, vervain, no'', He said in pretend triumph. ''Wolves bane. And you sit pathetically in a chair in the torture saying 'why don't you love me enough to stop.' He tightened his hands. And spat words in her face. ''Wake up! They don't love you, love ones don't do that, do they Caroline? or at least that's what your preaching to me! How does that feel, huh, Mommy and Daddy don't love their little baby girl-?

Before he could continue, he felt like he was being punctured with tiny needles, crawling inside him. Feel like his eyes were on fire, and bones were starting to crack. He dropped Caroline to the ground then looked into the crystal white orbs of the girl. ''Funny? Did you get that question from yourself a thousand years ago?'' She stood up and broke the leg off the chair in the dining room. She jammed it into his chest. Klaus let out a ferocious scream. Caroline looked him in his golden angry eyes. ''I'll answer it for you. Who could ever love a bastard.'' She whispered.

Adding salt to the wound with her next words. ''Definitely not me.''

Then flashed to her room.

Klaus ripped out the stake and ran to get the nearest human, to replenish. Once fulfilled, he made his way back to Caroline's.

Round 2.

Yanking the door to Caroline's room open he saw clothes being tossed around, covers thrown in bins, and papers stuffed in folders. Chaos all around but his eyes were caught and stayed on the red, white, and blue plane tickets sticking halfway out of a purple and gold suitcase.

''Where do you think, you're going.'' He said eerily quiet.

Caroline stopped moving, calmed so her powers would stop shifting clothing around, and looked at him. ''Away.'' She said simply.

''Oh, so I get it, this is cat and mouse. Your feelings get hurt and you think I'm just going to let you run and-''

''EVERYTHINIG IS NOT A GAME!''

''I KNOW THAT! YOU'RE THE ONE LEAVING! You know what, this is all your fault.'' He said while pacing frantically.

''For someone who just told me I was just a poor little experiment to fuck you're sure getting emotional.'' She sneered at him while resuming packing.

''SHUT UP! YOU KNOW IT'S MORE THAN THAT!"

''I'm a thousand years old love, my memory doesn't falter. When we first met, you were a force of nature. Didn't let me get on with nothing. I was always kept on my toes. We talked, studied each other, and then when I have you, when you're in my arms, before I have done anything to ruin anything, the once strong woman that captures my attentions, vanishes to a docile submissive little girl.''

Caroline looks down and away from him, and busies herself folding not wanting to acknowledge the truth.

Klaus looks at her with a tilted head, but continues to talk. ''Because I knew you'd be good for me, and I you in return, I ignored the changes. My wolf was…is going crazy with your behavior. An Alpha male whose mate follows his every command. Who lets it possess her in every way.'' He was speaking softly now. He licked his lips and raised his head and eyes to the ceiling. A dead giveaway he was getting emotional without saying anything.

''I ignored it, because I wanted you. You ignored it, because…'' He left the sentence hanging raising his hand, and putting his finger under her chin to get eyes contact. Looking in her red puffy eyes, but still that vibrant baby blue she said.

''I wanted you too.'' She whispered brokenly.

She jerked her head away from him though, and resumed packing. ''But not in that way Nik, not like that, we had plans, and you just- ''

Klaus pulled Caroline into him and wrapped his arms around her. Sshhing her whimpers, and I'm sorry's, while giving a few back himself. When all was settled, he carried her bridal style outside in the luscious span of green back yard. He couldn't help but chuckle seeing a hammock in between two huge trees with the moon shining above. He laid her down, then got in beside her. They laid in the breeze of a spring day, enjoying the warmth from each other.

''You're so strong, and brave. Intelligence with grace and wisdom. I forget sometimes how young you are. A mere 19 years.'' He whispers.

''I only have those years, I don't have anything else to give or go by. Half of which I don't even have memories of. I can't give you more than that.''

''Don't leave me.'' He broke the silence.

Caroline tensed. Would she? Could she? Klaus made it clear he'd follow her to the ends of the earth when they first started this thing. Caroline knew that between all the hurt words spoken and bad blood shed their true fears were in the glaring light.

They were afraid to lose each other.

Caroline could travel anywhere in the world, but she wouldn't have an fun, any joy doing it by herself. There was only one person who she would want to see the world with, and she couldn't do that when they were angry at each other.

''Can I have crepes and a hybrid tomorrow.''

Silence

Klaus let out a belly laugh, so deep and rich Caroline's head popped up to look at him. ''What?'' She asked confused.

''Well love that's an odd combination to ask for, and in the early stages of our reconciliation, I am going to try not to think that you eat people for breakfast.'' He said laughing at the end because of the disgusted look on her face.

''Ew Niklaus! Seriously! You wrecked my home, I know you're not going to fix it, so I asked for a hybrid. And I happen to always want a crepe after seeing them on the food network.''

Klaus smiled a shy smile, and looked uneasy. ''My love I…'' he hesitated. ''I mean… what I said…'' Caroline raised up and kissed him softly on the lips. ''I know my wolf.'' She whispered.

Caroline continued to look up at him, judging by the way she was looking, he knew she had something to say. With an encouraging nod of the head he waited for her to begin.

''I went to see an old friend today, well more like family, but still anyway um.'' Trying to get her words out she was playing with the buttons at the top of his Henley. ''I know how I was acting, and I hated it when I realized it this morning. I've never in my life given someone free reign like I did with you. I know you didn't ask for it or insinuate it, but I trusted you.'' Klaus tensed not liking the last part, feeling like it was an accusation.

''Don't take that the wrong way. I trusted you. I have never trusted someone one hundred percent before, in my life. I lowered my defenses and it was new, and I didn't know what to say or do. Thinking about every action, every behavior and step before I made it got so tiring, so I just let you do it.'' With a deep breath, she continued.

''I won't be doing that again. That second day, in the fields, when we were playing and goofing around, I just acted, I didn't think, I was so happy.''

And he could tell. Her eyes glowed, a blush painted her cheeks.

''You made me happy. That's the Caroline that I want to be. That's the one, that I am when I am relax, and not over thinking. I'm aware that I'll change through time but for now. That's me.''

Klaus smiled a genuine smile, dimples and all. He got out his phone, texting Elijah briefly about everything, and getting his loves breakfast order put in. They laid back down and just enjoyed the stars.

Caroline was falling asleep, but was awake enough to hear Klaus whispered words to her.

''This is just a house love, home I have come to figure out is wherever we are. Together.'' Caroline smiled and tightened her arms around his middle breathing in his scent.

''Forever.''

Home.

Rebekah was bouncing on her toes waiting for Niklaus and Caroline to come home. She was truly worried. She knew her brother, and how he gets. He and Caroline are while completely crazy about each other, they are still new to each other. Klaus ruins everything he touches. That is horrible to say coming from his little sister, but it's the truth. She likes Caroline, a great deal. She has always wanted a sister, and she had finally gotten one, and she wasn't going to lose her, to Nik's temper tantrum.

''Rebekah calm down, really darling, you're going to blow a gasket.''

''How are you two not worried? We could lose Caroline! And Nik would be impossible.''

''Niklaus has always been impossible, and I would not allow Caroline to come to harm, if you must know Caroline has texted, and has been since her departure, and is perfectly fine.''

Hearing silence, he glanced up to see his youngest brother, and sister gaping at him. ''What?'' he asks confusedly.

''You knew where Caroline was all this time, and haven't said anything!'' Kol exclaimed

''Well, little brother, I didn't know you were so worried.'' He said with a slight smirk. Kol was famous for not caring and going with the flow. Somehow, sometime however Caroline had made her way in, and he genuinely seems to care about her. He goes out of his way, to make sure she's not bored, and will sit and tell her stories of the past for hours. Thinking of it, he can't think of a single thing, that Caroline has asked his brother for, that he denied her of. He didn't even do that for Bekah. He had to smile a little at that. His brother truly wanted to get this big brother thing right.

Kol cooled down for a second, and simply shrugged his shoulders. ''I'm not worried, well not super worried, it's just that you could have put an end to Bekahs constant whining a long time ago, but instead you let her give me a headache.'' Kol shrugged it off, not wanting them to see how he truly felt.

He liked Caroline. He loves his brother role, that she let him be that for her. Unlike his siblings, he welcomed her hugs, and kisses on the cheek. Kol made it a priority, to be around her and hangout with her whenever she was around. He told her stories, he's currently teaching her the art of sneaking, and sometimes they simply sit and have a series marathon. The best part about it is Caroline gives as good as she gets. She did drinks with him, they played videogames, and she even told him stories of her childhood and memories. Some sad, some good, and some made him laugh his bloody arse off. But it was nice. That feeling that that he had a friend. A new family member. Someone that would be there for him if he needed her.

THUD!

Rebekah squealed. ''There here!''

Looking back, the smile dropped off her face very quickly.

''What the blood hell do you lot think you're doing here, and in my home at that, without knocking.''

''Where is Caroline?''

''Why would I tell you that?'' Rebekah snarled.

''Your trying to steal our secret weapon, and we want her back. I'm sure there's a price- ''

In a second Elijah had Damon by the neck up against the wall. ''I sincerely hope you aren't suggesting that Caroline is some object used for monetary gain.''

''We just need a spell done, that's it.'' He wheezed out.

''So, you walk in here, like a store, expecting that were selling her services. You do realize that she's here on her own free will, that she chooses what she does, we have no say.'' Kol commented.

''Of course, they do little brother that's not the point of their visit.'' A voice from behind them said.

It happened so fast. Klaus was shoving Stefan away from Rebekah. Elijah snapped Damon's neck, and Elena was cowering behind Bonnie, while the witch tried to stop Klaus. Caroline stood and muttered a few words. Just like that and time stopped. Everyone was frozen in that spot, no one could move.

Walking around the room, Caroline tapped on all the Originals to give them movement. ''This is amazing darling! What spell is this!''

''Moreover, how does it work, what's the procedure.'' Elijah asked curiously.

''Well since I couldn't help Klaus while fighting Bonnie, I would have to do one first and then the other. I just stayed froze the scene. Time has spot, everything is still besides myself and those I chose. You can move their limbs, they can feel everything. But the main reasoning of this spell, is someone did a little wood chopping today.''

Caroline walked over to Stefan, who frozen in place, you can still see his arm reaching for an object behind him. Pulling it out, and turning to the pale face originals.

''I assume you know what this is. And I also assume they have a lot more?''

Looking into the Salvatore, Elena, and witch's eyes, at their fear and rage. She tossed the stake to Klaus and walked back over to stand by his side again. As always.

Sharing a look with Elijah, Klaus knocked out Stefan, and Rebekah did the doppelganger and witch.

''Kol, shackle up the witch and doppelganger, throw them in the basement. Rebekah love free reign on these idiots. No worries, little brother you can join in afterwards. Elijah- ''

''Already on it, I'll call to see if I find anything at the boarding house.''

''Thank you.'' He murmured. Leaving the entire room shocked at the word, all except Caroline, which made him smile softly.

''We'll meet later for dinner, me and Caroline still have things to discuss, and go over.'' His face turning serious.

Caroline squeezed his hand, and a tight-lipped smile to the rest of the Mikaelsons before being led away by her wolf.
