I do not own the Vampire Diaries

The bar was crowded tonight and loud, Caroline could hear it from blocks away.

"I wonder what's going on," Alex wondered.

"I don't know," Caroline shrugged, her smile set firmly in place. That didn't go unnoticed by Alex who couldn't help but ask what that was about.

"Why are you so happy?" He asked.

"Why? Is it so wrong to be happy?" Caroline grinned. Why shouldn't she be happy? It was a beautiful night out and she was going to spend it with her best friend and a couple of handsome Originals, all the while looking hot in her skin tight black dress.

"No, there's nothing wrong with being happy, I'm just curious on why you're happy," Alex said.

"I just have a good feeling about tonight," Caroline smiled. They entered the bar to find everyone surrounding a shirtless Kol who was dancing on a table. "Told you tonight was going to be a good night," Caroline laughed and fought her way through the crowd.

Alex watched in shock as she got on the table with him and started dancing. "Oh my God," Alex said. He spotted Rebekah and Klaus at the bar, so he headed over.

"I find it highly uncomfortable watching your sister grind on my brother," Rebekah said.

"I find it uncomfortable seeing her in that outfit," Alex said.

"I find this uncomfortable," Klaus said, interrupting their moment.

"Don't be jealous brother," Rebekah smirked.

"I have no reason to be jealous little sister, I can find a weak pathetic idiot whenever I want," Klaus smiled.

"Good luck finding one with such a hot sister like he does," Caroline said, appearing out of nowhere.

"How was grinding on my brother," Rebekah asked.

"Exhilarating," Caroline grinned.

"Funny, I found it disgusting," Alex snorted.

"Suck it up Alex. It's either grind on Kol or make out with Klaus," Caroline said.

"I prefer the second one," Klaus said.

"I bet you do," Alex said, glaring at him.

"I'm sure Rebekah would love to make out with you while I make out with Klaus," Caroline said.

"More than happy," Rebekah smiled, sliding her arms around his neck. "And so much more," She whispered seductively in his ear.

"As the responsible older sibling I really didn't need to hear that," Caroline sighed.

"Neither did I," Klaus sighed.

"Come on," Alex said, grabbing Rebekah's hand and dragging her away.

Caroline smiled and turned to face Klaus who was looking at her strangely. "What?" She asked.

"I'm surprised you're still standing here," He said.

"Why wouldn't I be? Do I have some other plans I don't know about?" Caroline asked, cocking her head to the side.

"Do you?" Klaus asked.

"The only plans that I have is to sit here with a certain hybrid and have a couple of drinks," Caroline smiled, sitting next to him.

"Won't Kol miss you?" Klaus asked, but she could tell he was starting to relax. She hadn't realized that Klaus had insecurities, didn't expect him to, but there they were. For some reason it pained her to see them and she felt an unbending urge to reassure him, make him believe in himself, in her.

"Naw, Kol has a couple of brunettes with him, I doubt he'll notice I'm gone," Caroline shrugged. She reached forward and placed a hand on his arm. "Do you want me to be here?"

"It would be an honor," Klaus smiled, and intertwined their fingers and bringing it to his lips.

Caroline smiled and ignored the butterflies in the pit of her stomach while desperately trying now to drown in those blue eyes.


Caroline laughed until it hurt, then she laughed even more. "How made was Rebekah?" She asked between laughs.

"Extremely. When I told her it was for the sake of the family, she got even madder and killed my favorite witch," Klaus said.

"Favorite witch, huh? Is that code for lover?" Caroline asked teasingly, slightly. She didn't really want to know the answer to that.

"On occasion, but she was never anything serious," Klaus shrugged.

"It's never as simple as that Klaus," Caroline said, leaning back in her seat.

"It is for me," Klaus said.

"Of course it is, you're never the one who falls. You're the one that is fallen for," Caroline said.

"Do I hear a hint of jealousy love?" Klaus smirked.

"Yes," Caroline said openly. Klaus raised his eyebrows in surprise, but she continued before he could say anything. "Not just to have sex with you, that would be a bonus, but to fall epically and madly in love with someone."

"Love is a weakness," Klaus said dismissingly.

"Why do you think I haven't done it? Not because I've never found anyone, but because I knew if I did fall for them, nothing good would happen," Caroline said.

"Then why would you want it?" Klaus asked.

"I don't know," Caroline shrugged. "I guess I'm one of those people who like to try everything at least once, even if I know it'll be bad for me."

"You have courage," He said.

"No, I have crazy hormones that have been telling me to do perverted things to you since I saw you," She corrected, shifting the gears in the conversation. She had been waiting patiently all day, but no more, she was done dancing around the subject.

Klaus easily shifted the conversation, because this topic was going to be so much more interesting and this was what he really wanted to talk about. "Anything in particular I should know about?"

"No, you'll experience them if I play my cards right."

"I think you're playing your cards right now, to much success."

"Trust me, you haven't seen anything yet."

"Then when will I?"

"When you earn it."

"I'm not a very patient man Caroline, and I tend to take what I want, and I want you."

Caroline's eyes locked with his and her lips spread into a slow smile. "I think you'll find it worth the wait, but in case you don't," She said, and finished by leaning forward and pressing her lips against his.

She intended it to be an innocent kiss, but when she felt the way his lips felt against hers, she couldn't stop herself from deepening it. She laced her arms around his neck and he pulled her closer to him, expertly moving his lips. She pulled away once his tongue teasingly sneaked out and touched her lips. She leaned back and smiled in satisfaction.

Her lips were tingly from his stubble and she could still feel the weight of his lips on her. "I'll see you later Klaus," She smiled, and got up to leave.

He stood up too and grabbed her hips and pressed her against the bar, pressing her back into it. "One of these night you're going to leave with me," He promised.

"But not tonight," Caroline said, touching his cheek. "Goodnight Klaus." She gently shoved him away and kissed his cheek before walking away, a smile firmly in place.


After he had left the bar, Klaus had locked himself in his art room and solely focused on the canvas. He focused on the way the paint blended together, the way it soaked into the canvas. He had to get the hair just right. It was such a beautiful color full of life, and if he got that wrong, the whole picture would be ruined. The hair and the eyes, those were the trickiest. They both were filled with so much life that he strived to get them right.

Hours went by, but he barely noticed. All he noticed was how lively the room seemed to get just with her picture in it. Finally done, he stepped back and looked over his work. He got it right, he got the hair and the eyes right. She was absolutely beautiful, stunning, she took his breath away.

He was positive, especially after the kiss that she would be worth the wait, and when he did get her, he would relish in her, and he wasn't quite sure he would be able to let her go when it was over.


Caroline was sitting by the fire writing in her journal when the door opened and Mikael walked in. She didn't stop her writing, if Mikael had something to say, he would say it.

She heard the sound of a drink being poured and a few seconds later, Mikael was standing over her, holding a drink out to her. She took it and put her journal aside, while watching Mikael. HE sat on the couch while taking a long drin.

Something must have happened if Mikael was drinking, he never drank.

"What is this?" He asked, frowning down at his drink.

"Bourbon," Caroline said.

"I prefer scotch," Mikael said, but still took another sip.

She twirled the ice around, watching as they slowly melted. As much as she wanted to know what was going on, Mikael needed to get this off his chest all by himself. Twenty, maybe thirty minutes went by before Mikael said something.

"We've been together a long time Caroline. You have stuck by my side through thick and thin, and I know I've been harsh to you over the years. Some may say unfair, and that may be true, but everything I have ever done has been to help you," Mikael insisted. "I'm not expecting you to understand, there's no need really. You'll be dead within the next few months."

Caroline looked up from her drink and scrambled to stand up. "What do you mean?" She asked.

"You know how I feel about things that over stay there welcome. Now I've got to be honest, you are the best warrior I have, the best I will ever have, and you truly impress me, but you're time has come. How old are you going to be in a month?" Mikael asked, standing to face her.

"Nine hundred and fifty," Caroline whispered.

"You've had a great run Caroline, but your time has come," Mikael said.

"After everything that has happened, after everything I've done for you, it's going to end this way? You're going to end it this way?" Caroline asked.

She knew how she sounded, weak and pathetic, but she was freaking out. Mikael had threatened her before, plenty of times, but she knew he was serious. Frankly, she was surprised he let her live this long, but now that she was becoming a real threat to him, he was going to end her.

"I appreciate everything you've done for me Caroline, but your time has come," Mikael said, walking over to her. He surprised her by placing a kiss on her forehead. You have a month Caroline live it to its fullest."

He left her standing there with tears streaming down her face and an unwelcomed fear in her gut. All the happiness she felt earlier gone, the timeliness on her lips from Klaus's lips. All that was left in her was the feeling of fear, and loathing.

A few wanted to know about my reaction to TVD and TO. I think they both suck, lol. No, that's not true. I'm only saying that because I absolutely hate waiting, and it's killing me to think of Damon and Bonnie gone. Of course they'll come back, if not Bonnie then defiantly Damon, just because he's Damon and I'm pretty sure the show's views would go down if they killed him off, also we can't have Alaric back and no Damon! Team Badass! Now TO. The ending was very interesting, and I certainly didn't expect Klaus to let his daughter go so easily, but I'm happy that they involved Rebekah and that Rebekah is keeping little Hope safe. That gives me hope that one day in the future Claire Holt will return to The Originals, because honestly, it's not the same without her. I'm also really happy Klaus and Marcel are back on the same page, I'de much rather have it that way then them going to war with each other. As for the child, I find it absolutely amazing and cute that they named her Hope, it makes perfect sense. I just hope that Klaus and his child won't be separated for long and they can start a life together. Anyways, just my thoughts on everything, and sorry that I'm babbling!

I need all of your help with a few things. Who should Rebekah end of with? What about Elijah? Also, I'm thinking about starting a collection of Klaroline drabbles. Let me know what you guys think about all this, and if I do start drabbles, who's interested? Anyway, review!
