Frankly I'm not happy about this chapter at all. It was a bit forced. Sorry if it wasn't what you expected. Thanks for the reviews.


The next day, Caroline was up earlier than usual upon hearing all the commotion downstairs. She had slept in Rebekah's room the night before, and that bed felt as though it were made of cotton candy. Glad she slept well; Caroline went downstairs to see what all the noise was.

The scene down stairs surprised her. Klaus was there, and so were his hybrids. The former stood in the center of the hall, barking orders at his sires, while they obeyed his every command. Caroline felt a slight twinge of sadness when she heard what exactly he was saying. He was sending his hybrid's out to look for her. She kept silent and watched as Klaus sent his hybrids to scatter out throughout the town, in search of her. One last sire remained by his side, waiting patiently for his order. Klaus looked tense, and tired. Caroline wondered if he was able to sleep as well as she did last night. And she suddenly felt guilty for some stupid reason she couldn't quite understand herself.

Klaus looked at the hybrid and spoke more softly. "Stock the fridge with fresh meat and fruit. Do so every other day." He mumbled before leaving the room, heading towards the basement.

Caroline watched as Klaus' hybrid stood in the hall, looking extremely confused. Then deciding he didn't really care; he left to do as he was ordered.

Even in this state, Klaus still managed to care for her. She knew the food was for her. She was the only one who actually ate it anyway. She decided to go check on Klaus. Although a puppy going to check on a half vampire half werewolf hybrid, who was over a thousand years old didn't make much sense to her, she still decided to go ahead and do so.

When she climbed down the stairs to the basement, she was honestly expecting what she saw. Instead of a blood bag in Klaus' hands, it was a woman. Klaus stood behind her with his face buried in her neck. The woman didn't complain in anyway, her eyes were blank. Obviously compelled.

Her emotionless eyes shut as Klaus' fangs pierced her skin. It was bearable for Caroline to watch. She had seen worse. Watching a vampire feed was no longer as terrifying as it was before. But the way Klaus held her, with his strong arms wrapped around her waist, caused something to stir in the pit of her stomach. She assumed it was because of the lack of food she consumed since yesterday. Rebekah didn't mention the absence of food in the fridge to Klaus like she said she would.

She watched as the woman in his arms sighed as he drained the blood from her body. Once he had satisfied his blood lust he dropped her lifeless form unceremoniously onto the ground. He looked up. His lips and fangs were a deep red, stained from her blood. His eyes were black and his pupils glowed a dark shade of gold in the darkness of the basement. Those eyes fell on Caroline's minute form.

Fear crept into her, as she slowly, carefully took a step back. Klaus stared at her for a moment. His mind clouded for less than a second before he recognized her. His fangs returned to look like normal teeth, and his dark eyes lightened into a deep shade of azure. "Caroline." He rasped. Caroline froze and her head shot up. What? Her eyes held his. Did he know?

She barked at him, snapping him out of his thoughts, her heartbeat speeding a mile in a minute. He shook his head and looked back at her. "What are you doing here Care?" he asked her. Caroline's heart dropped a million miles. She could almost hear her hopes shatter like fragile glass. She only shook her head, walking up to him. Klaus watched as she walked around the body he had taken the life of just minutes ago. She completely ignored it, unfazed. She stood by his feet; once again she stared up at him with her blue eyes, silently pleading him to recognize who she was. He didn't.

Almost growling in disappointment, she turned to look at the dead body behind her. There was blood all over her neck, and Caroline was glad for her absence of blood lust.

Suddenly a thought struck her. She looked up at Klaus and repeatedly barked in excitement. She ran past the body, and up the stairs, turning around to bark at him once again. Klaus looked slightly confused at her sudden behavior. He understood that she wanted him to follow her and obliged. He was curious as to what she wanted.

Once they had left the basement, Caroline dashed past a startled Rebekah to the drawing room. Klaus only shrugged at his sisters questioning glance as he walked past her as well, following Caroline. He entered the drawing room to find Caroline jumping off the couch, onto the small table beside it where his sketchbook lay. He just watched her as she opened the book with her paw. Klaus had a habit of leaving the first page in all of his sketchbooks blank. Caroline was glad that she didn't have to paw through each page to find a blank one. She didn't have fingers anymore so it wasn't easy. She struggled to pick up the pencil in her mouth vertically instead of horizontally. Once she had the pencil firmly in between her teeth, she turned to the sketchbook.

Klaus' curiosity had transformed into amusement at what she was trying to do. Caroline struggled to write with the pencil in her mouth. But she found it extremely hard, as it kept slipping from between her teeth. Causing her to clench her teeth even harder to hold it. This kept happening for some time, and Caroline was growing annoyed. She kept clenching her teach harder and harder, until the pencil eventually snapped.

Caroline immediately spat the lead out of her mouth in surprise. Klaus was instantly at her side to check for any stray splinters that could possibly harm her. There were none. Caroline only stared at Klaus' actions in awe.

"What are you trying to do sweetheart?" He asked her, addressing her as though she were a five year old.

Caroline just sighed, giving up.. She just shook her head and jumped off the table. She was hungry now and decided to go into the kitchen. Klaus followed her in and understood what she wanted. There was no other reason for her to be in the kitchen. She wanted food. He walked up to the kitchen and opened it up. As ordered, his hybrid had stocked the refrigerator with various kinds of fruits and meats.

Caroline was delighted. Not only because of the food. But also because she was able to distract Klaus from thinking about the fact that she was missing.


Although later that day, Klaus was back to being tense and angry. All of his hybrids had returned without Caroline.

Caroline winced as Klaus kicked the table by the door. Instead of it toppling over, it broke with the force if his kick. "Where the hell could she be?!" He roared. He was agitated. She had been missing for almost four whole days!

Caroline didn't know what to do. She watched the anger and frustration and most of all, concern radiate off of him. She felt helpless at this time. Rebekah stood next to her, not knowing what to do. She loved Nik. She honestly did. But she knew better than to approach him in his anger. They both watched Klaus, helplessly, with nothing they could do to console him.

Klaus grabbed his car keys.

"Where are you going?" Rebekah asked him.

Klaus stopped. "The closest witch is Bonnie." He said, before flashing out of the room. Both girls understood what he meant. Caroline's eyes watered with unshed tears. Did he really care that much for her? She hated seeing him like this. She had seen him, killing, feeding, flirting and compelling, none of them bothered her as much as how he was now.

Her mind drifted off to when he spoke about her the other night. How he admitted to be slowly falling for her. When he asked her if she had ever been in love, she had shook her head, no. She had been thinking of Tyler then. She had indeed been in love with him. But something had made her say no to Klaus.

He was looking for a witch now, to track her down. Like he said, the closest witch was Bonnie. But she knew the chances of him finding her were few. Caroline didn't blame Bonnie for what she had done to her. Bonnie had used dark magic to protect her friends from danger, knowing it would harm her. She didn't stop after her grandmother had been punished by the spirits for her actions. As much as it hurt to do, she still used it. For her friends. And it eventually consumed her. She didn't know if she wanted Klaus to find her or not.


Klaus drove to the Salvatore boarding house, barely able to control his anger. He had gone to Bonnie's house only to find her missing. Where was anyone when you needed them?

When he reached the boarding house, he stormed inside. Damon, Stefan and Elena, all stood up at once when they saw him, immediately on guard.

Damon of course, was the first to speak. "Stefan did you steal his puppy?"

Stefan and Klaus only glared at him.

He looked at the most sane out of the three. "Where's Bonnie?" He asked Elena.

She looked confused. "Bonnie? Why do y-"

"Answer the question, Elena!"

Stefan stepped in. "We don't know. "He said.

Klaus' eyes flashed with anger. "What do you mean 'you don't know'?" He asked. He sounded calm, but they knew better.

"We mean she's missing." Stefan continued "The same day Caroline was."

Klaus clenched his teeth, trying to contain his anger. He didn't care what happened to them if he went on a rampage; he had no use for the doppelganger anymore. But he had to find Caroline. And hurting her friends was pointless. "So Caroline's still missing." It came out as more of a statement than a question, but Elena nodded anyway.

He took in a deep breath, and turned around to go.

"Why do you need Bonnie?" The newly turned doppelganger asked him.

"I don't have to explain myself to you, Elena." He said without turning around. He walked out of the house, leaving the door wide open.

Once they heard his car leave, they relaxed. Sitting down on the sofa, Damon reached for his bourbon. "What do you think that was all about?" Elena asked the brothers, seating herself next to the older Salvatore. Stefan didn't react in anyway, but answered Elena's question. "He's looking for a witch to find Caroline." He stated simply, as if it were obvious.

Elena raised an eyebrow at him. "How can you tell?"

"His hybrids have been roaming around town the whole day In search of her. I'm assuming he had no luck."

Elena stayed silent, thinking about what Stefan had just said.

"Come on Stefan. You really think Klaus would care enough about Vampire Barbie to send his hybrids out for her?" Damon said, sipping at his bourbon.

"Yes I do. It's also the reason why we choose Caroline to distract Klaus whenever we need to." Stefan retorted.

Damon ignored it, knowing his brother was right.


Tell me if it was different from the other chapters in anyway. I'm sorry if it wasn't as good. It isn't my best. Review still! :)
