Chapter 10 Breaking Out

New Orleans 2112

The next few days in the mansion were odd. Odd was actually an understatement. The atmosphere in the mansion was downright freaky. It seemed that Klaus was avoiding her and so was Rebekah and everyone else in the mansion was treating her disinterestedly except Elijah who was always cordial.

Caroline spent most of her days in the library reading up on alternative universes and time traveling spells until her head ached. Everyone left her alone and it was unnerving. She wasn't even expected at breakfast anymore and she had begun to eat by herself. Sometimes she would read her diary or try to find the other ones Klaus had mentioned, but she couldn't seem to locate them, the mansion was huge and it was like she didn't even know herself in this time. She felt scared and alone and most of all she felt depressed. She replayed that night with Klaus on their anniversary again and again, but nothing it seemed could pry her mind away from how much she wanted him, how much she liked him. It scared her and made her feel out of control, two things she loathed.

On one particularly depressing night at the end of the following week Caroline was in the library reading yet another book on time travel when she heard someone enter the dusty room.

She looked up in wonder, intrigued to know who was interrupting her silent treatment. She hoped it was Klaus coming to confront her, but somehow she knew it wasn't.

"Caroline."

She winced when she heard the catty voice.

"Katherine." Caroline said closing her tomb of a spell book.

"What are you doing in here?" Katherine asked smirking at her and sauntering towards the blonde.

"Reading." Caroline said simply putting her book down and staring at her maker.

"Huh." Katherine said sitting besides the younger vampire.

"Did you need something?" Caroline asked looking at the brunette.

Katherine shrugged, "nothing really. I was just wondering where you've been lately. I tried asking your…bestie but she avoided the subject like I was talking about Elijah and mine's sex life." Katherine said smirking at the blonde.

Caroline scowled, "I don't need to hear the details, Katherine."

Katherine smirked at her, "I didn't offer them, did I?"

Caroline rolled her eyes and looked towards the door of the library silently wondering why all of her confrontations ended up here. Was it because it was quiet? Or that it was the only place she seemed to be these days.

"So what's going on between you and Klaus?" Katherine asked tapping her on the thigh to get her attention.

Caroline shrugged, "what do you mean?"

Katherine rolled her eyes annoyed with Caroline's question.

"I mean you and Klaus have been awfully…strange lately." Katherine said frowning.

Caroline laughed awkwardly and looked away, "we're just…going through a rough patch." She said lamely.

"It seems more than that. I hope you know we've all noticed that he's sleeping in a different room and you too aren't going at it like hopped up rabbits anymore." She said quietly.

Caroline turned to her in astonishment not missing the note of concern in her sister in law's voice.

"Are you…worried about Klaus and I?" Caroline asked smirking at the older vampire.

Katherine scoffed and looked away, "it's not I. It's Elijah. He's worried. He doesn't want Klaus to lose everything he's worked so hard to achieve and all of the emotional baggage he's overcome." She said dryly.

Caroline sighed, "there's nothing he has to worry about. We're fine."

"Really, cause it doesn't seem like it. As a matter of fact, this is the worst I've ever seen the two of you." Katherine said looking at her.

Caroline shrugged not knowing what to say.

"You know what I think?" Katherine said smirking at her.

"No, but I think you'll tell me anyway." Caroline mumbled.

Katherine ignored her, "I think you two had a fight about something stupid, as always since we all know you two are perfect for each other and always sickeningly rubbing it in our faces." She added rolling her eyes.

"Ok…" Caroline said awkwardly.

"I'm not done." Katherine snapped.

Caroline sighed and waited for her to continue.

"I think that you guys had a stupid fight and you said some things you didn't mean and of course Klaus took it the wrong way since he's overly sensitive and what you need to do is show him you care again because lets face it Klaus is an awful person without you, Caroline. I remember him before you two got together and he was a monster, frankly and you changed him so much and yeah, you became pretty bad too but you guys always rescued each other, bringing each other out of the darkness and all that jazz." Katherine paused and cleared her throat uncomfortably and Caroline stared at her wide eyed.

"I know I'm being totally compassionate right now, but I don't know what Elijah would do if you guys split…probably have to take care of Klaus for the next hundred years and honestly I don't want him around all like that. At least here we have wings to ourselves." Katherine said bluntly.

"So what is this? You're trying to pep me up to go apologize to Klaus?" Caroline asked adding this to the long list of weird things that were happening in this universe.

"For Elijah's sake, yeah." Katherine said smirking.

Caroline nodded slowly taking what she said in.

"Anyway, you should apologize, you know how stubborn Klaus is and you should wear that super awesome red lingerie we bought at Victoria Secret a few weeks ago to do it, you looked awesome in it. Just put the moves on him, apologize and you guys will be totally fine again." Katherine said patting the blonde on the back.

Then she stood up and left a dumbfounded Caroline in the library wondering what the hell kind of conversation she just had with Katherine. But the idea of apologizing and having fun sexy times with him wasn't a bad idea. Without trying to think about it too much she hurried to her bedroom to at least look at the red lingerie Katherine was talking about. She put the red lacy bra and panties on wondering what they looked like on her. After taking a deep breath, doing some make up and her hair and slipping on some Loubotin shoes she brazenly walked down the hall and to Klaus's bedroom ready to apologize and make it right. Plus the many days of thinking about his hot kisses seemed to have gotten to her. All she had wanted was him. All she could think about was him, so was it so wrong to try and seduce someone who claimed to love you? Was it? She didn't think so.

She hesitantly knocked on the door, hearing shuffling from inside. She had put a black silk robe on incase she ran into any servants or God forbid Originals so when Klaus opened the door he wasn't that shocked to find her there with a pretty silk robe on.

"Caroline." He said raising an eyebrow at her. He let his gaze scan her and she felt hot at the intensity of it. His blue eyes came to rest on her face and she shifted awkwardly holding the robe tight to her body and began to have many, many second thoughts. But when their eyes met, everything except him and how much she wanted him left her mind.

"Klaus." She said trying to give him a seductive smile.

He frowned, "for the duration of your stay please just call me Nik." He said.

She smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Nik. Can I talk to you?" she asked pushing past him and into his room.

He nodded reluctantly since she was already inside. She looked around the room quickly and then let her eyes rest on him again nervous for the big moment. She was so completely scared to be attempting to have sex with Klaus, but she realized with excitement and dread that this was what she truly wanted and since she was in an alternative universe she figured having sex with him wasn't a big deal. She was giving in to temptation for once and her life and she felt like she was doing something scandalous. It wasn't like when she went back to her correct time she'd be fucking that Klaus. In her mind they were still two completely different people.

"What can I do for you, Caroline?" he asked trying to keep his eyes on her face.

Without warning she dropped the black silk robe and watched as his eyes widened in shock, then lust, and then finally anger.

"What are you doing?" he snapped and she strolled forward and placed a finger to his lips.

"I'm sorry. I really am, for thinking you were a terrible person and assuming you would hurt me. I'm sorry for being awful when I first arrived and for saying things I didn't really mean. I am sorry for not being the Caroline you love and for making you hurt in the way no one should and I'm sorry for treating you like a pariah when in reality you're the most amazing man I've ever known and I know when I go back I'll miss you so much." Caroline said gazing into his eyes.

She saw his facial expression melt with desire and then suddenly he was on the other side of the room facing the wall trying to avoid looking at her.

"Caroline…as much as your words flatter me….as much as I love hearing you say those things. It still stands as the fact that you aren't my Caroline. You aren't the woman I've spent 100 years with." Klaus said staring at the wall so as to not look at her. He knew if he did he would give in to temptation. He missed her so much, touching her, loving her, being around her, but he knew keeping his distance from her past self was best for everyone. She needed to realize that he was the same as his past self, she still saw them as too separate people and if she was going to love him she had to realize they were the same. She had to accept him for everything he was and everything he used to be.

Caroline frowned. She could feel tears beginning to form in her eyes because of the rejection and she knew she would be crying soon enough, but she refused to do so in front of him.

"But…I don't get it. We are the same person Klaus! The same!" she said loudly wishing he'd realize that he wasn't doing anything harmful by sleeping with her.

"And that right there is an example about how you aren't! My Caroline feeds from the vein, she's dangerous and dark and she isn't as bright as you are! She's lost hope in this world and despite all of that I still love her and she still loves me. Horrible things have happened to her and I've stayed by her side through all of it! I know it hurts, this rejection but you belong with the Klaus from your time and I with the Caroline from mine." Klaus said finally looking at her.

She saw resolve in his eyes and she knew she wouldn't be able to change his mind. She felt the tears she had been trying to hold back begin to fall and her throat close up from the great emotional waves she was feeling.

"You're not the same though. When I go back to my time…it's going to be different. You're different. Maybe it's because we're in a different dimension or something but…everything's different and I feel nothing for that Klaus." She whispered the tears falling down her face.

He stepped towards her wanting to whip the tears from her eyes, but he held back and stayed out of arms reach.

"You're wrong, we are the same and that's why we can't do this. I think you should go back to the room now." He said looking away from her.

She stared at him not wanting to move, but knowing she should. Slowly she grabbed the silk robe off the floor, pulled it around herself and then tried to leave the room with dignity as the tears slipped down her face.

When she finally got back to her room and let the tears take over and for the second time in a week she cried herself to sleep because of Klaus, although this time she felt like her heart was breaking. She didn't understand why he was fighting this so much, she hated him a little bit for making her act this way and she hated herself for wanting him so much. She wished desperately for a way back to her own time sooner than the full moon in two weeks. She had, had enough embarrassment in this time to last forever and all she wanted was to go back to her time where she hated Klaus and she was with Tyler and everything was about Elena, at least then she wouldn't be heartbroken and crying over Klaus.

Mystic Falls 2012

Caroline was staring at the wall thinking about how she had missed her anniversary with Klaus. She knew it had been a few days ago and she had gotten him a lovely gift of a very rare painting he had done early in his artistic career. She had procured it from a collector and she was very proud how she had tracked the painting down. He had sold it when he had first began painting and then lost track of it, she had heard the story numerous times about how he wished he hadn't sold it so she knew this was the perfect gift for her husband. She had hidden it in one of the secret compartments in the closet and she had been so excited to give it to him, to surprise him with the lost painting that was one of his favorites, besides of course the ones of her.

She wished desperately to be back with him and to give him his present, but instead she was stuck in a cell in Mystic Falls 100 years in the past. Shitty. She had been in this cell for two days now and had only gotten the minimum amount of blood she required. Her only visitors were Damon and Alaric. It seemed no one else knew she was down there. They had put vervain on the door since she had already tried to escape and she had tried to contact Klaus again and again, but for some reason it wasn't working.

She was miserable and angry and hungry, she vowed that when she escaped she would make Damon Salvatore pay.

"Rise and shine Vampire Barbie." Damon mocked coming to stand in the window of the door, his face guarded by bars.

She growled and rolled her eyes angrily.

"Caroline?" A vaguely familiar voice asked.

Caroline's head shot up at the voice and she let out a low breathe at the face she hadn't seen in years.

"Tyler?" she asked bewildered by his appearance.

Tyler looked angrily at Damon and then he went to open the door, but was stopped by the black haired vampire.

"I brought you down here to talk to her, not to let her out." Damon snarled.

Tyler glared at him, "I want to help her! She's my girlfriend why is she down here in the first place?" Tyler yelled.

"Because her humanity's off! She tried to kill Elena!" Damon said as Tyler tried to get around him to open the door.

"That's bullshit! Caroline would never hurt Elena! Now let her out." Tyler demanded.

"Not a chance, wolf-boy now get her to turn it back on and maybe we'll free her." Damon said glaring at him.

Tyler growled, "let her out Damon or I'll bit you." Tyler threatened.

Damon rolled his eyes, "how like your uncle you are. I'll let you in there with her, but that's it." He said unlocking the door and pushing Tyler inside. Tyler immediately ran to Caroline and hugged her stiff body.

"I'll be out here." Damon spat as Tyler caressed Caroline's face as she glared at Damon outside the door.

"What really happened? Does Elena know about this? What has Damon done? Is he crazy? Who else knows you're down here? What's going on Caroline?" Tyler rambled asking her question after question. Caroline noticed he never asked if she was ok.

"I'm fine, Tyler." She said rolling her eyes feeling weird that he was so close. She got off the cot and walked across the cell wanting to put distance between them, but he didn't seem to get the message because he followed her.

"What's going on Caroline? Alaric tracks me down and tells me I need to come home and then he brings me down here with Damon and you're down here in a cell. I don't know what's going on." Tyler said trying to touch her face again.

She went to the other side of the cell and tried to hold back her anger, but Tyler just followed her again wanting to be next to her.

"They think I tuned my humanity off." She said crossing her arms over her chest and trying to ignore the fact that she had been in the same clothes for three days now.

"Why do they think that?" he asked confused.

Caroline shrugged, "I need you to get Klaus. He's the only one who can get me out."

"Klaus?" Tyler asked his voice a mixture of confusion and anger.

"Yeah, they'll listen to him." Caroline said moving away again as Tyler tried to touch her.

He frowned, "is there something I should know about? Have you really flipped the switch, Caroline? Are you on Klaus's side now? Did he compel you?" he demanded.

They heard Damon laughing on the other side of the door and Caroline rolled her eyes irritated.

Before she could respond though they heard a thud from upstairs and then yelling. Damon looked over at them and then went towards the stairs.

"What's going on up there?" Damon yelled, but there was just silence.

Tyler shot Caroline a worried look and then went towards the door of the cell to try and get out, but Damon had locked it. All of a sudden the door at the top of the stairs flew open and a figure vampire sped down the stairs and knocked Damon out of the way. Then the figure appeared at the door of the bars and Caroline let out a small breath she didn't know she was holding.

"Klaus." She breathed happily moving Tyler out of the way of the door.

"What's going on here?" he snapped seeing Caroline and Tyler in the cell together.

"I came to rescue her." Tyler said boldly.

Klaus chuckled darkly, "really, because I came to rescue her too, mate. It's nice to see you Tyler where have you been? I don't recall telling you to go anywhere." He said nastily glaring at the young hybrid.

Tyler rolled his eyes, "I'm not afraid of you anymore." He said.

Caroline clapped her hands together to break up the testosterone threat.

"Can we just get out of here, I'm tired of being locked up by crazy people." She said looking between both men.

Klaus smirked and broke the lock on the door ignoring the pain of vervain on his hands. Right as the door opened Damon came up behind him and tried to attack him from behind, but Klaus was too fast and threw Damon against a wall. Caroline and Tyler hurried out of the cell and watched as Damon tried to sit up against the wall. Klaus began to walk towards him but Caroline held out a hand to stop him.

"Allow me." She said before walking over to him and leaning down to stare at him. He locked eyes with her and she looked down at him with a smirk on her face.

"This is for everything you've done to me." She said quietly before standing up slowly and stomping on one of his knees to shatter the bone. The scream Damon let out was unreal and when she did the same to the next leg it shook the house above them. Then before Caroline lost the nerve she kneed him in the head, which made his head bounce against the wall and his world went black as he passed out from the intense pain.

Klaus and Tyler stared at her in awe, but she ignore them as she went towards the stairs and went to leave the basement. The boarding house was silent as the three of them walked through it and Caroline tried to ignore the bodies of Stefan and Alaric on the ground. When they got outside Tyler finally sputtered some words out.

"What was that?" he asked staring at her.

"Payback." She said shrugging and then looking over at Klaus.

"What happened?" Klaus asked quietly.

She looked away, "I got kidnapped and Damon and Alaric locked me in the basement because I'm evil I guess." She said.

"So you shattered his knees, Caroline?" Tyler asked incredulously.

Caroline sighed heavily, "it had to be done, Tyler. He was keeping me down there. I don't deserve that." She said.

"I didn't say that, but Caroline I've never seen you hurt everyone it's not you." Tyler said looking at her through new eyes.

"People change sometimes not always for the better." She whispered before turning and beginning to walk away.

Tyler watched her go, but Klaus went after her wanting to make sure she got home ok.

"Caroline!" he said coming to walk beside her.

She looked over at him and smiled slightly, " yes?" she asked.

"Why did they capture you?" he demanded.

She looked away, "they think I turned my humanity off." She said quietly as they walked back towards town.

"And why would they think that?" he asked curiously.

She was quiet as they walked, "Klaus…I have to tell you something." She said biting her lip nervously.

He waited patiently for her to say what was on her mind.

"Yes?" he prompted when she didn't say anything for awhile.

"I'm not the Caroline from this time. A witch put a spell on me and sent me here switching me with this dimensions Caroline that's why I have a tattoo and that's why I have this." She said holding up the wedding band that was on a chain around her neck.

She waited for him to say something, anything, but the last thing she expected him to do was laugh. He laughed the hardest she had ever seen in their 100 years together.

"Your funny, Caroline I'll give you that." He said whipping his eyes.

"I haven't laughed like that in ages." He added.

She huffed angrily and turned away annoyed that he didn't believe her.

"Come along, love, we'll go back to my house so you can get your car. It's how I deduced that you were missing." He said smirking at her.

She frowned, "that's how you notice I was missing? I left my car in your driveway for two days!" she said annoyed.

"Well, yes." He said shrugging.

"But what about the messages I tried to send you? Didn't you get those? We're bonded for God's sake! And how did you know to come to the boarding house?" she demanded upset that he didn't believe that she was from the future and that he didn't get the SOS signs she was sending through their bond.

He looked at her his eyes narrowing. "Messages? Us, bonded? What are you going on about, Caroline? And I knew you were in the boarding house because I smelled your scent. I think we better get back to my house quickly so you can explain yourself." He said his voice dangerously low.

Caroline felt herself gulp and before she knew it Klaus had picked her up and through her over his shoulder before speeding back to his home to find out what was going on with Caroline.
