Hey, I'm back! I really like this chapter, it's kind of a turning point and a bit of a rollercoaster, I just want to explain something before we begin. My greates complaint about the Originals is that they've taken absolutely all progress Klaus made in the last 3 years and are acting like he was never even on TVD, like he's totally evil, so I want to stress that I'm writing the Klaus from TVD season 4, not the originals Klaus... I hope I'm doing a good job of keeping him in character. Enjoy everyone!

CHAPTER 10

I rub my face with my hands, feeling the sudden need to sit down as I take in what he's saying "So if Klaus doesn't help the witches-"

"Sophie says she will be forced to use magic to protect her own, and then Marcel will surely kill her-"

"And Hayley and the baby along with her" I finish on a horrified squeak.

Elijah nods his head silently. Oh that selfish jerk! "Go Elijah, meet the witches. I promise Klaus will be with you in just a minute" I huff, angrily storming off to find Klaus.

I find him in his studio with a bottle of whisky in his hand "I knew I'd find you here, this is where you always come when you're trying to convince yourself you don't care about anything. I see you have a fireplace too, got any photos of your unborn child to burn?" I spit at him with as much contempt as can be mustered in my body

He takes a swig from his bottle and turns around with an icy glare "What do you want Caroline?"

I raise my eyebrows in a silent seriously before continuing on in a cool voice "I want you to stop acting like such an insufferable murderous sociopath!" I plan to continue but in an instant I feel myself being pushed roughly against the far wall, the force causing paintings to fall around me as Klaus' iron grip hold me tight against the wall, his voice is low and menacing as he speaks

"be very careful what you say, Caroline. I am in no mood to deal with your antics right now" he growls face hovering over mine

I feel myself seething with anger as I slowly bring my eyes to meet his "I knew you were a monster, but I didn't think even you would condemn your own child to death just because of your ego. I can't believe I thought for one second that you could change, my friends were right. You are incapable of love" I push against him, wanting more than anything to storm out of the room

He pulls his head back, regarding my struggling body with a contemplative look, casually observing me like a mouse trying to escape a lion. He shakes his head in sudden realization, looking back at me with regret as he begins to speak softly "No, Caroline please I-" He takes a deep breath as if the words he's about to say might kill him "I'm sorry." He says slowly through half gritted teeth, then more genuinely "I didn't mean to hurt you. I have changed and-"

"Save it" I snap "If you won't give up even a sliver of your pride for your own flesh and blood why should I believe for one second that you would do it for me"

He steps back suddenly, releasing me. He's across the room before I can even realize what's going on "I would do anything for you" he whispers

I sigh "The only person you ever do anything for is yourself, this was a mistake. What was I thinking, just running off to another state with a crazed murderer because he said a few nice things and made a few empty promises" God, I need therapy because I obviously have some deep seeded emotional issues that I so willingly followed him here, and I know exactly where I need to go to come to terms with the mistake I made and move on "I'm going back to Mystic Falls" I declare, knowing that my friends would forgive me in a heartbeat, they might give me a hard time for a while, but they will always be there for me as long as I'm doing the right thing, and this was clearly the very wrong thing!

I turn to leave the room but he's in front of the door, begging me to stay with those sad blue eyes "Please, Caroline don't go. I'll do anything, ask me for anything and I will give it to you, just please don't leave. I love you"

I shake my head slowly "No, you don't. You're obsessed with me. If you truly loved me you would want me to be happy even if I wasn't with you, you would let me walk out those doors and you would hope that I had an amazing eternity with or without you. Well I am telling you right now Klaus, I am leaving. You will never, ever have me" I punch the last word and watch his expression change into barely contained anger as I step even closer to him moving all of my hair over my left shoulder, exposing the right side of my neck "So, do you still want me to be happy Klaus? Even though you know that I will never be yours? Do you even still want me to live knowing that every time you see me will be a reminder of the fact that there is something in this world that you can't have" I tilt my head towards him, daring him to bite into the soft skin of my neck and end this all, because I don't care if this will cost me everything, I have to know if this man is really capable of feelings and not just obtainment. I have to know if he is as unfeeling as he keeps trying to convince everyone he is. I have to know if he was really going to let that child die, because I can handle it if Klaus lost his temper and stormed off, but I can't handle it if he was really going to let the witches go through with it.

I Watch as his eyes turn yellow and his fangs slowly slip from his mouth, he leans down and I can feel his breath on my neck. I inhale sharply as I feel his teeth grazing against my skin I was right I think he is incapable of human emotions, I should have known, how could I be so stupid as to think that I Could prove otherwise but no sooner have I thought it than I feel his fangs retract and his lips close, softly kissing my neck "You underestimate me, Caroline" He whispers into my neck

I can't help but smile knowing that he wants me to be happy, that he would have run off to the witches when he thought their threats were getting serious, because Klaus talks big, but in the end he has his weaknesses, and that means that he is human. I know it's wrong, I know that this seems crazy (I mean let's face it 'didn't kill his own child' hardly qualifies him for man of the year), and I know that anyone who was watching this would think that I had some serious issues to work through, and maybe I do, but whatever I have to work through, I want to do it with him by my side. I've tried staying away from Klaus, I've tried rejecting him, I've even tried leaving but I think it's pretty clear that I can't. That damn hybrid wormed his way into my heart and I can't bare the thought of not having him near me, of never seeing his face or hearing his voice, or feeling his touch. It takes everything in me not to cover his mouth with my own in that instant, but I know this is my opportune time to make one more request.

"you said I could ask you for anything?" I say in a quiet voice

"Anything" he confirms in a gentle whisper against my neck

I bring his eyes up to meet mine "Forget about Marcel, forget about this war. Let Hayley have the baby and then all of us leave. Wherever you want, let's make a new home for our new family. You, me, Rebakah, Elijah, the baby, even Hayley. Let's go somewhere far away and start a whole new life, and then we can live, and travel, you can show me the world, all of it. I want to see everything with you, but I want to know that we have a home to go to where everyone can be happy" I can feel the tears running down my face as I say out loud for the first time the thing that I've always wanted

He looks at me for a moment, a bit taken aback by my wet eyes. He brings his thumb up to wipe the tears away as he cups my face in his hands "I can't think of a thing in the world that would make me more happy, sweetheart"

And then, for the first time since I met him I don't overthink anything, I don't analyze the situation, I don't think about what anyone else will say, I just let myself melt into him, feeling my body sigh as his lips meet mine. It's not how I pictured our first kiss would be. I always thought we would just collide into one another during an argument one day, all passion and aggression and animal magnetism, but this couldn't be more opposite. The way his arms wrap around my waist, holding me to him like a precious jewel that he never wants to lose, the way my hands move through his hair, slowly caressing his soft gold curls as I pull him into me; The way his lips move against mine, tenderly molding themselves together like two puzzle pieces that finally found their match. I can almost feel my body groan when I finally force myself to pull away

"So much better in your own body" I laugh quietly, watching a lazy smirk make its way across his face

"Glad to hear it love, but I do believe that we have some witches to meet, do we not?" He holds his hand out to me and I smile taking it with my own

"We do"

Okay, it was a bit shorter, but so much happened! Honestly guys, I can't even express how happy I am that you guys are reading this. Twitter, Tublr, Facebook, and fanfiction are the only thing that keep me sane in this inhumane Klaroline drought, and I am begging all of you my readers not to abandon ship, the writers are trying so hard to replace Caroline with Cami, and I really hope that all us fans can keep them knowing that we don't accept that, Caroline is the only one for Klaus! And they're trying to make us love this Jesse guy, I don't dislike the character, but he can't have Caroline! I know I sound crazy right now, let me know if any of you out there are as crazy about Klaroline as I am! Drop me a review or a PM, let's talk TVD/Originals and please let me know what you think of this chapter, I really hope you like it, this as a big one for me and I re-wrote it a couple times!
