Chapter Six
Klaus opened the door to find an empty room. She wouldn't be foolish enough to leave, would she? His eyes were glued to the open window. She did. Caroline left. She shouldn't have been able to leave, right? It didn't make sense.

Caroline's foot caught on the branch on the stone path leading to his house, she fell forward, groaning as she hit the cement.
"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" She heard a teasing voice say from above.
"A friend in need of help." She muttered, picking herself up off the ground.
He extended his hand to help her up before asking lightly. "And why is it you need helping?"
Looking down and then back into his brown eyes she sighed. "It's your brother, he's...I don't even know...but, I need to hide out for a while. I figured of all the people I could go to, you are the most likely to be alright with defying him."
Kol smirked at that. "Of course. Come on in." Gesturing a hand toward the door he led the way to his small cabin, you wouldn't think Kol the woodsy type, and for the most part he wasn't the new technology and cities facsinated him, but at times he liked it out in the middle of nowhere alone.
Strangely enough, over the months Caroline had spent getting to know Klaus, her and Kol had become good friends.
"So what has my brother done now? Has he gone all psycho stalker on you already?" He asked teasingly, eliciting a strangled laugh from Caroline who had taken a seat on the couch.
"He-" She stopped for a moment to pull herself together. "He-he killed me." She stated facually turning her attention to the floor. She still couldn't believe it, why would he do this to her? Didn't he care about her? Why would he save her if he was only going to kill her? Was she just another notch on his bedpost? That's what it felt like.
Kol's eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "What do you mean he killed you? You're alive, how could he have killed you?"
Caroline took a deep breath before speaking. "He staked me, but I had his blood in my system...and-and somehow it turned me into a hybrid...that's sired to Klaus. The bond seems to weaken the farther from him I am though, that's why I had to run away from him. He's...he's totally lost it. I don't know what I'm going to do." She began sobbing, which made Kol more uncomfortable than you could ever imagine.
Kol just stared at the broken woman in front of him for a moment, processing everything she had just told him. He stood up suddenly moving to where she was sitting and awkwardly wrapping his arm around her shoulders repeating words that he hoped were soothing. "It's ok." He said over and over. "It's ok." That didn't seem to be helpful at all as the tears continued to stream down her face.
She laughed suddenly looking up at Kol. "You are so bad at this." She giggled, wrapping her arms around him in a bear hug, pulling away she smiled. "Thank you though."
Returning her smile he stood up and made his way toward the kitchen. "Do you know what makes everyone feel better when they're having a bad day?" He whipped out a ban from a cupboard near the stove. "Kol's famous chocolate oatmeal cookies."
"Really? They're famous now?"
"Obviously, Caroline." He smirked.

"Where is she?" Klaus growled, his hand wrapped tight around Damon's throat.
Struggling against him without results, Damon finally spoke in a choked off voice. "I can't really tell you if I can't breathe."
Staring at him for another moment Klaus tightened his grip painfully, before letting go entirely. "Alright." He started attempting to speak calmly. "Where is Caroline?"
Damon shook his head. "I have absolutely no idea, it's not my fault you can't keep track of your hybrids."
"I don't believe you." Klaus said narrowing his eyes at the weaker vampire. "And I think I'm going to have to persuade you to tell me the truth...now you're on vervain so that's no good." Klaus began pacing around Damon in circles, feigning a thinking face. "I could bleed the vervain from you, but that's no fun, I think torture is the best method, don't you, mate?" Klaus smiled viciously.
To which Damon only scoffed. "Torture me all you like, it's not going to make me know where Caroline is. I have absolutely no idea where she is, and honestly I'd like to know probably about half as much as you do because Elena is going to go crazy until she's found. It would be great if you'd let me know when you find her."
Klaus grimaced, unfortunately, he believed Damon. So with that he turned, exiting the boarding house.
Where are you Caroline? He thought, starting to get worried, she was always getting herself into those kidnapped situations and such. What if something happened to her?
-;-
She laughed again, laying down on the couch, pulling the blanket he had given her over herself. "I'm exhausted." She yawned, turning towards Kol with a smile. "I think I'll go to bed. Thank you." She spoke the last part with the utmost sincerety, making Kol once again uncomfortable.
"Goodnight, Caroline." He smiled turning and walking towards his bedroom.
