I own nothing...

"Are you going to compel me?" Caroline asked. She was feeling a little lightheaded from the bite on her neck. Klaus had been feeding on her for about a week now, ever since he revealed his true self to her.

"Do I need to compel you?" Klaus asked in reply, "Or are you going to spill all my secrets to Katerina?"

"Of course not," Caroline answered, "I never tell secrets, but I guess there is no point if some vampire can simply compel me to tell what I know."

"If you will yourself hard enough, you can resist the effects of compulsion." Klaus told her and Caroline's eyebrows went up, "It takes years of practice, but it is possible." That seemed like very valuable information.

"Don't worry I won't go telling your deep dark secrets," Caroline assured him. "I like my head on top of my shoulders."

"It's a very pretty head," Klaus said and Caroline smiled.

…...

"He will go after her," Elijah said coming further into the room. His eyes settled on Elena. "Hmm...still alive, and human." He then turned to Katherine who looked like she wanted to run, but she knew she couldn't. "Katerina."

"Yes?" Katherine croaked.

"Klaus has granted your freedom," Elijah told her and Katherine's mouth dropped open. "He will honor Caroline's promise, but once you are out there it is fair game. You don't get the protection that Damon and Stefan have."

"Thank you," Katherine said half not believing that after 500 years she was finally free. A smile crept up her face.

"Touching," Damon said and then asked, "Now why did Klaus refuse to help before?"

"Klaus claims you will get in his way, and this is true," Elijah replied. "Leave finding Caroline to us."

"No," Stefan spoke up, "She is our sister."

"Caroline is under our care," Elijah said, "500 years ago we swore to keep her safe, and we will keep our word. Caroline would not be happy if you became collateral damage for being in the way."

"Elijah!" Someone outside called. "We have made our warning now come on!"

"Best not keep him waiting," Elijah said and then with one final nod left to join his brother.

K&C

"The vervain should be out of her system now," Mikael said.

"So you are going to compel her?" The still unidentified girl said. Mikael nodded and then crouched so he was eye level with Caroline.

"How do you make hybrids?" Mikael asked looking into Caroline's eyes. She met his gaze straight on. After getting no response repeated himself. "How do make you hybrids?"

"It isn't working," The girl said, "How is that possible?"

"Man, are you stupid," Caroline said even though her face was bloody and her breath was shallow, "Do you not think Niklaus taught me that if you will yourself hard enough you cannot be compelled?" Mikael looked at her shock. "I know you are going to kill me, but I die with secrets of the Originals safely in my head." Caroline smiled mockingly at him, it reminded him so much of Niklaus that he slapped the girl hard and knocked her out.

"Damn him!" Mikael cried out in frustration. Now he was getting neither Niklaus or the information he wanted.

"What now?" The girl asked, "We kill her?"

"She is no longer of any use to me," Mikael said getting stake out of his bag. "Do you want to do the honors? This is the women he loves after all."

"Yes," The girl said and Mikael handed it to her.

"I am going to figure how to destroy him another way." Mikael said and left trusting the girl to dispose of the trash.

K&C

"I found her," Bonnie said opening her eyes.

"You did?" Elena said and Bonnie nodded. Stefan took out Caroline's phone and scrolled down the contact list till he reached Elijah.

"Hey it's Stefan," Stefan said into the phone, "Bonnie found her. Channeling the bracelet helped."

"Tell me where," Elijah said from the other end, and Stefan did.

K&C

She was just about to stake the pretty blond who had captured the attention of Niklaus when she heard,

"This way!" Klaus's voice said, "I can smell her blood!" The girl looked at Caroline and back in Klaus's direction. So either she kill the girl and be caught, or flee. She decided to do the latter and run. Caroline started to open her eyes just as Klaus made his way around the corner.

People had looked at Klaus in a lot of ways. In fear, awe, admiration, utter terror, but never relief. It looked like Caroline was trying to smile at him too, but wasn't able too. Klaus ran over and untied her ignoring the burning in his hands as he did so. She fell limply into his arms.

"I hurt," Caroline said in a small voice. Klaus was surprised she was able to talk at all. Just goes to show how strong Caroline really was.

"I know," Klaus said and bit into his wrist. He put it in front of Caroline's mouth and she managed to bite into it. He smoothed her hair back as she drank and kissed the top of her head. Elijah watched as his brother willingly gave his blood to the pretty girl. Since Klaus's blood was so special it usually came with a price, but not with her. Color was starting to come back to her.

"I didn't tell him anything," Caroline said her voice stronger, "He tried, but I didn't tell him anything."

"That doesn't matter," Klaus said picking her up, "Come now love." Caroline closed her eyes again and promptly passed out, but when she awoke this time she knew she would be safe.

K&C

Klaus carefully laid Caroline down on the couch at the Salvatore house. She hadn't woken up since he found her but with a good rest and some more blood she should be fine. Elena and Katherine were safely at Elena's house. It was better that they not be here.

"She's been tortured," Klaus told Damon and Stefan who were hovering behind him. "Her necklace is gone so she was probably burned, and vervain obviously has been used to make her suffer. You will need your friend to make her a daylight ring. Or better yet..." Klaus took off his ring, "I won't need this anymore. Tell her to wear it till she can get another one."

"We will," Stefan said, "Do you have any idea who had her?"

"Obviously I have made many enemies over the years," Klaus said. "It could have been anyone, and Caroline will probably be able to tell me more when she wakes up." Klaus got up and went to the bar and got a glass out. He bit into his wrist and let blood fall into the glass. "Give her this when she wakes up, then she should be fine."

"Okay," Stefan said and watched as Klaus kissed Caroline's forehead.

"I will check on her tomorrow." Klaus said and then he was gone.

…...

"I see you have still not fed from her," Elijah said after the blushing girl walked past him and out of his brother's chambers. "And you call for her every night."

"Do you have a point brother?" Klaus asked bored with his questioning. "The girl is very beautiful and I enjoy her, but you are right. Next time I am with the girl I will drain her dry." Elijah instantly regretted saying anything. The next morning however, Caroline was right there standing behind Katerina alive and well. Although she was wearing a scarf around her neck.

…...

Caroline woke up with her brothers sleeping in chairs on either side of her. Elena was sleeping in Stefan's lap and Katherine was dozing at the foot of the bed. Caroline grinned feeling the love coming off of them. Katherine woke up first. She smiled at her.

"You look better," Katherine whispered, "Stefan and Damon finally fell asleep." Katherine got the glass of blood from the nightstand and told her to drink it. Caroline licked her lips after emptying the glass.

"His blood tastes so good," Caroline said disappointed that there wasn't any left.

"I wouldn't know," Katherine said coming and laying next to her. "I don't have the favor you do."

"And look where it got me," Caroline said her voice soft as not to wake anyone else up. "I have never felt such pain, Katerina. It was horrible, and it was all because I knew him."

"He did rescue you," Katherine pointed out, "You should have seen him. Klaus warned Stefan and Damon to not get in his way because he knew you would be sad if they became collateral damage."

"I know Klaus cares about me." Caroline said and her eyes became hot. "And I care about him too, but I can't do it anymore."

"Can't do what?" Katherine asked.

"I can't be his mistress anymore," Caroline replied looking at her hands. When Caroline did look up her eyes were wet with tears. "Niklaus needs to let me go."

K&C

"Leaving already?" Damon asked Katherine who was holding a bag all packed and ready to leave.

"I might have my freedom, but it isn't like I can stick around," Katherine replied, "What I am supposed to say? I am Elena's long lost twin? No, Spain sounds nice though."

"You were always one for those lazy afternoons," Damon said and Katherine smiled slightly.

"Tell Stefan I said goodbye," Katherine told him, "But don't worry, I'll visit."

"I will," Damon said, "Take care of yourself."

"Always do," Katherine said and with that she was gone as quickly as she had come.

K&C

Caroline was sitting outside when he found her. A blanket was wrapped tightly around her and she was staring out at nothing. Caroline was playing with Klaus's ring on her thumb and every now and then she winced as if she was remembering something. Klaus was suddenly sitting next to her on the porch swing and Caroline leaned into him.

"How are you feeling?" Klaus asked her and took the blanket and put it around the both of them allowing her to cuddle closer to him.

"I'm healed," Caroline replied and then went on, "Tell me a story."

"Why?" He asked.

"I love the sound of your voice," Caroline said but left out this will be the last time I will ever hear it.

"Very well," Klaus said and then began his tale, "So Elijah, Henrik, and I were hunting..."

K&C

"They should not be out there," Damon said to his brother. "We should kick his sorry ass out."

"I don't want him around Caroline either," Stefan said, "But he is an Original, we can't tell him what to do."

"I hope he does it," Damon said and Stefan looked out at his sister sitting with Klaus.

"He'll do it," Stefan assured him. "He would do anything for her."

K&C

When his story was over Klaus and Caroline sat in silence. He took her hand was was playing with it, lacing and unlacing their fingers. He kissed her hand and sent sparks all through her body.

"Klaus?" Caroline said finally speaking but didn't look at him.

"Yes, love?" Klaus said.

"Can you do something for me?" Caroline asked.

"Of course," Klaus said knowing he couldn't deny her after everything Caroline had been through the last few days, "What can I do?" Caroline looked at him and her eyes were watering.

"I need you to make me forget," Caroline said as a tear fell down her cheek, "I got tortured to within an inch of my life just because of what I know. I don't want to know things anymore."

"Are you sure?" Klaus asked keeping his face blank.

"Yes," Caroline said nodding. "Please, compel me to forget you."

What did you think?

I am sorry it was so short, but it is all about the endings! I want to hold your interest and make you want to read on!

So I had finals, a paper, the flu so writing has taken the back burner. I also just started a wonderful thing called summer school, but I will have more time to write.

As for Bloodsucking Angel, I will update it I was just waiting for all the episodes to air, so now it is just me sitting down and writing it.

AU moments:

Elijah and Klaus know Elena is alive, but that is at the bottom of their priority list.

Elijah wasn't daggered.
