Hey guys! I hope you don't find this chapter confusing. To make clear, the texts in italics are Caroline's hallucinations (things that happened on the show). I had some trouble to write this chapter because how I've said before I'm not really good in english. If you don't understand something, don't be afraid to ask me on reviews. Hope you like it!
Caroline's POV:
I barely could sleep. I tried my best to do it because I knew the pain would stop, but I couldn't. The thought about where was Klaus didn't get out of my mind the whole night and the pain was driving me crazy. Where was Klaus?! I was dying! Above all, I was angry. How dare he bite me and then leave me suffering? How stupid was I to believe him? Damn Caroline, you never learn! And now, because of my stupidity I would die. About 6 AM I was so sweaty that I decided to take a shower, so I went to the bathroom and while taking off my shirt, it touched the wound that just grew and grew in my skin and I screamed. Elijah didn't take long to knock at the bathroom's door. "Caroline, is everything ok? May I help you with something?" Elijah was very nice to me. He said earlier that he appreciated the fact that I could change Klaus when so many people have tried with no success, and also he would help Klaus to protect me if something was wrong because if he lost me, it definitely 'would end up with Klaus's humanity once for all'. But I didn't tell Elijah about the bite. I didn't want to give him any explanations about it and I thought Klaus wouldn't take too long to come back. I wrapped the towel around me and opened the door a crack to answer him. "No, don't worry about me. I'm fine." I said, doing the best face I could. "Very well. My sister Rebekah told me she's in a plan with Marcel to take down Niklaus, so they kidnapped him with vervain and wolfsbane. I know they're trying to bury him in a basement where Marcel built a home for my sister a long time ago. Not far from here, it's just follow the road to the right. I'll help Hayley with her family's problem but I'll come back later to help Niklaus. I hope he can take care of himself until there." He got out with his vampire speed before I could say anything. How long could I wait? I didn't have time and every second I was getting worse! I began to shake and I fell on the ground with the back leaning on the door. / I am on the hospital and Elena arrives. "Hi Caroline" "What are you doing here?" I ask her, feeling very tired. "My name is Katherine. I was hoping you could give the Salvatore brothers a message for me." "What are you talking about? What message?" "Game on" she said, approaching me. "What?" I ask and she suffocates me with a pillow. I start to scream, clamoring for air. Everything goes black. / No! The hallucinations have started. What am I going to do now? I began to get desperate. I didn't have more time and I needed to do something. In a second I put my shirt trying with all my forces to ignore the pain and I went downstairs, trying to remember some house with a basement. Elijah said it was just follow the road to the right and that's where I was going.
I have no idea how I arrived in that house which was all falling pieces. It wasn't all built. I just walked until see it and entered it taking care if no one was seeing me and once I was in there, I didn't try to hide. I couldn't see very well with the dizziness that I was and I followed a big corridor leaning myself on the wall. I was tripping over my own feet walking very slowly and sometimes I stopped to put all my forces together again before keep walking. Turning to the left, I saw some stairs and went down to it. In the last degree I lost my balance and I fell, rolling until hit my head on something. / Matt brings me home and put me in bed. He takes off my shoes and asks "You will be ok?" "No" I answer, drunk. He sits on bed besides me. "Do you ever feel like there's not a person in the world who loves you?" I ask. "Life can be a little rough" He says. "I just wish…" "What?" "I wish that life was different" "Yeah, me too" / I opened my eyes and I was staring a wall. I got up supporting myself on it and when I turn around I see Klaus tied up by his arms on a chain. He was staring at me like if I was crazy. "Caroline?" He said, very weak. "Klaus… I'm here." "I'm not pretty sure about that. You don't seem… You." he answered. "I'm dying". "What?" "You bit me" His eyes widened, like he was remembering. "You're stronger than these chains, why don't you get out?" I asked. "They're full of wolfsbane and vervain, and I'm too weak after they drained me. I'm just waiting my blood to recover to get out of here. But I think that will take a while" he said very low. "I don't know if I can wait…" I suddenly was interrupted when I fell at his feet with another hallucination coming. / "Why are you being like this? I'm so good to you and I would do anything for you. It's just a stupid necklace." I say to Damon at a party on the grill. He holds my arms very tight "No. You're the only stupid thing here. And shallow! And useless!" / I was screaming with a big guy with my hands squeezing his throat. "I am not stupid, Damon! And not shallow, and not useless! And how dare you abuse me and feed on me? Your selfish, now you're going to die! You don't deserve to live and keep doing to other people what you did to me!"
Klaus's POV:
I was thinking weird the fact that Caroline entered the house and came until me without anyone stopping her. When someone came, she was hallucinating and ripped the heart of the guy after yelling at him and calling him Damon. Hurt me to see her like that, but I couldn't deny that I enjoyed seeing her with the guy's heart in her hands. She threw it aside and she fell again screaming "Make it stop! Make it stop! It hurts so much! Make it stop!" Her agony was killing me, but I didn't have strength enough to release myself and help her. Even if I could, I wouldn't have blood enough for her to drink. My Caroline was dying because of me and I was the useless in that story. They must have heard her yelling, because a lot of guys showed up. Damn! I started fighting with the chains. Caroline would die in those guys' hands. I almost cried in relief when Elijah appeared wiping them all.
Caroline's POV:
I opened my eyes and I was lying on Klaus' bed. I sat remembering everything and I got up very fast but I tripped over something and I fell. "Ouch!" My head was killing me. When I notice Klaus's body was what I tripped on, I got desperate. "He's fine. Just recovering." Elijah said. "What happened?" I asked. "I saved you both and he insisted giving you the little blood he had to cure you… Before it was too late." I looked thought the window and the sun was rising. "How long am I sleeping?" "Nineteen hours. How do you feel?" "Better. Thank you, Elijah. I don't know what would happen if you didn't show up there." "No need to apologize. I consider you my family since you stole my brother's heart." He smirked and got out. I smiled and stood by Klaus's side until midday, when he opened his eyes.
By the evening, Klaus and I were walking thought the woods when he asked me "Why didn't you tell me? About Damon?" "It was a long time ago and it didn't make sense bring it up" "I don't know why I didn't notice it before. The date we had in Mystic Falls in return of one of my hybrids, I saw you screaming with Elena because you didn't want her with him. I couldn't understand that but now I do. He really did abuse and use you and said you were shallow and useless?" He asked, angrier. "Yes. But I forgave him. That doesn't mean that I like him now, but I've already charged it and we're good." He stopped walking to look at me. "You have such a good heart and I'm learning so much with you. I have more than a thousand years and you what? Nineteen, twenty? But I feel that you're wiser than me... I had never really known the meaning of forgiveness" I smiled and asked "Why did you give me the little blood you had? I could stand more time…" "No, Caroline. You couldn't. And even if you could, I would not let you suffering. I was weak but not in pain. And so what? For you I could bear the pain of the whole world if I knew that you're good, that you're happy. Because your happiness is my strength." He held my hands. "Oh, and that thing you asked to Matt in your hallucination… I promise that you won't feel that way anymore. I guarantee you there is someone in this world that loves you." I was so happy in a way I didn't knew I could be. Smiling, I said: "I was lonely" "I know the feeling, love." He answered. "So, let's be lonely together." I said, smiling. "Are you sure, sweetheart? Because I won't let you go anymore" "You already said that, the night before last. The best one of my entire life." He smiled. "I love you, Caroline". We were about to kiss again but I pushed him away when blood rose in my throat and I threw up. "But what…?" I said, startled. "Didn't you cure me?" "Yes, I did!" he said, worried. What the hell was happening to me?
