Caroline awoke slowly, looking up from Klaus's rock hard chest as she wiped the stray disheveled hair from her face. She pulled away slightly to find him gazing down at her with an unfamiliar expression.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep." She spoke softly, clearing her throat as she felt her body jolt fully awake under his intense stare.

"Shh, you were exhausted, sweetheart. Your body needed the rest. Do not apologize." He had been watching her for only a few moments as he was awoke from his dreams of all that had changed yet again.

Her dress was in tatters while her body was covered in filth yet she was still a stunning sight to behold. Her hands were now completely healed from feeding on him but she would need more blood soon to keep up her strength.

"Where are we?" She asked ignoring his kind words as she pulled herself to stand. She swung her body from side to side as she surveyed the dense area surrounding them.

"I'm not completely sure but I will go find out. Stay here."

"Stay here?" She spat as she placed her hands on her hips. "You may be the all mighty hybrid but I don't take orders from you."

"Stay here, please." He snarled through his teeth as kindly as possible as he felt the urge to compel her to stay put. "I'll be back shortly."

"Whatever!"

Klaus smirked as he flashed away.

Klaus flashed through the darkest parts of the forest, searching for any sign of life. A structure or anything to give him a clue as to what time period they had landed in.

He was torn with his desire to go back to Caroline, to pull the stubborn girl into his arms, to take her lips with his own as he had seen Niklaus do so easily.

He was still unsure how he had felt as he watched them together. He had heard what Niklaus had told her about finding a witch to forget her but since his little nap this morning he was confused by Niklaus's actions since Caroline left.

The idea of trying to forget Caroline had left him flustered, his chest aching in an unfamiliar manner as he pushed the thought from his mind.

He had dreamt too much, it was like a tidal wave that crashed over him and now he needed time to process it all. He needed to sort out the memories and thoughts that were mixed with his original ones to truly understand what had happened and now even though he had an idea of what time he was in he still needed proof.

Finally he heard the echoes he had been searching for, the sound of voices filling his ears. It was from children playing, running around and as he followed their laughter he saw a middle aged woman standing near a small farm house. She was dressed in a plain dingy peasant dress. She stumbled back, startled, as he flashed in front of her.

He smirked as he knew exactly where he was. He remembered fondly killing her centuries ago. He knew now was not the time for her death but he would enjoy her none the less.

He easily compelled her to invite him inside before he pulled her into his chest, running his fingers over her neck as he pulled her hair to the side. Slowly he sunk his long fangs into the succulent flesh, reveling the sweet taste of her filling his mouth. His senses were growing stronger as her blood flowed freely down his throat.

He pulled away with a sated grin upon his face as he reached out to the small table and collected a steel goblet. Pulling her back to him, the dazed woman let out a pain groan as he bit into her wrist and watched as the crimson liquid filled the goblet.

"Thank you, sweetheart." He grinned ripping open his wrist and thrusting it into her mouth. He watched as her wounds began to slowly stitch themselves back together. "You will forget I was ever here." He compelled before taking the goblet and flashing out of the house avoiding the small children.

He raced back through the forest stopping yards away from where he had left Caroline when his eyes took in the delicious sight before him.

Caroline was no longer on the shore resting but instead standing in the lake. Her long legs covered by the cloudy water that was pooled around her navel. He cocked his head to the side as his breath hitched.

Her fingers were running through her hair as she tried to remove the debris and work out the tangles. Her exposed breasts were partially covered by her long locks but were still there in all their wonderful glory.

The round firm breasts he had spent months fantasizing about, desiring to take the soft mounds in his hands, caress them with his warm mouth as his tongue…

"Oh my god!" He heard Caroline shriek as she twisted her arms to cover herself.

"Relax love, I saw very little of your glorious body." He smirked, his eyes still glued to her.

"Turn around, Now!"

Klaus shot her a cocky grin as he slowly obeyed and turned to face away.

"So, I take it you were not hoping I would join you then, sweetheart?"

"You wish!" She snapped as she raced to the shore and quickly threw on the ragged and torn dress she had desperately wanted to dispose of.

"What's that?" She asked as she stared at his back and noticed the large metal goblet in his right hand.

"For you." He smiled as he turned back around to face her but instantly frowned as he took in the state of her dress. He should have brought her one of the woman's yet they were not good enough for her. Nothing around here would be good enough for her, he told himself. He would find her the finest dress in the land before they left.

He walked closer towards her, reaching out the goblet without another word.

Caroline took it hesitantly but as she gazed down at the crimson liquid she was hit with a pang of guilt.

"Where did you get this?" She breathed trying to hold back her hunger as she slowly closed her eyes. She was starving. She felt her fangs begin to elongate as her vampire side began calling out for the delicious blood.

"Don't worry, love." Klaus grinned. "The source of your breakfast is still very much alive."

Before Caroline could even look back up at him or fully process his words the liquid was in her mouth. Her eyes remained closed tightly as the blood coated her tongue, sliding down her parched throat as she felt her veins surge with energy.

The cup was empty in a matter of seconds yet she was far from satisfied. She was at least able t control her cravings for the time being.

"Thank you." She murmured as she dropped the goblet onto a large boulder.

"I need you strong, not weak and hungry." He explained. "We have a short journey ahead of us."

Caroline groaned as she followed behind him. He was already walking away into the forest when she asked. "Where are we going?"

"I need to find Rebekah."

Caroline nodded in understanding as she quietly followed beside him. She had to admit she was starting to miss the original bitch and couldn't help worry for her being out here alone.

The sun was setting just as they came upon the large city. There were crowds of people, pushing goods in small wooden carts, calling out to Caroline as she passed by. None of the merchants even looked at Klaus which left her confused. Did they know to fear him, she wondered.

She could feel all eyes on them as they continued through the crowded streets. Klaus had his eyes searching the area for Rebekah as Caroline tried to follow as close as possible.

Klaus's pace began to quicken as he saw a head of blonde hair round a corner not far ahead of them. Caroline struggled to keep up but was separated when a small tavern door opened and a large group of burly men were thrown into the street directly in front of her.

She tried to push through the men to follow Klaus but one of the larger men stopped her. Peaking over his shoulder she watched as Klaus disappeared into the crowd.

"Pretty girl." The man slurred as he reached out and ran the back of his hand over her cheek.

Caroline slapped his filthy hand away as she tried to flash past him but was unexpectantly held back. Twisting her head slightly she found another man, his hands wrapped tightly around her waist as they all began laughing. His eyes were glistening as his lips turned up into a sinister grin, slowly flashing his long fangs.

"Where do you think you are going? We know all of the pretty little vampire around here, you must be new." He chuckled darkly as his eyes raked over her trembling form. "When we are through with your sweet little body you'll wish you never stumbled into our town."

Caroline opened her mouth to scream but felt his large dirty hand covering her mouth. She bit at his hand as his grip around her tightened. She cursed herself for not having the sword Niklaus had given her with her but knew she would need to improvise. Using all her strength she reached down and grabbed his crotch twisting and squeezing as the man released her grip as he howled loudly.

The other men were laughing so hard it gave her just enough time to run but as she turned she ran into a hard chest.

"Shit" she muttered as she looked up. "Kol!"

"Hello, darling."

"That little whore is going to pay for-" The man was yelling but silenced himself instantly as he watched Kol move to stand protectively in front of her.

"She's with me." Caroline was shocked by the authoritive nature of Kol's voice and felt her trembling begin to calm.

"We did not know, my lord." The man who had previously been holding her spoke up. His voice laced with fear.

"Now you do!" Kol replied stepping forward causing the men to stumbble back in fear. "If she ever comes to harm again, let it be known, the punishment will be severe."

The men all nodded as they quickly backed away further before turning and racing away.

"I must say, you are quite the trouble bound, are you not, Caroline?" Kol chuckled.

"You remember me?"

"Of course. I hardly ever forget a pretty face especially one that drove my brother to the brink of madness."

"What?" She breathed.

"Fret not, he has found himself a new pet."

"Kol!" Klaus's voice came from behind her, his warm breath beating down her neck.

"Ah, brother. Or shall I say future brother?" Kol snickered. "You look horrendous. What happened to your tunic?"

Caroline turned sheepishly as her eyes met Klaus's cold as ice glare.

"Were did you wonder off to?" He snapped ignoring his brother.

"I was pulled away by some men and they…"

"Were about to enjoy her sweet little body before I saved her" Kol chimed in a proud grin sweeping his lips.

"I was doing just fine on my own, thank you very much!"

Klaus let out a loud sigh as he pulled her away, down a small dirt alley. He finally stopped outside a small house turning to face Kol who had followed.

"Stay here!"

"Why would I do that?" Kol replied.

"Because if you don't you'll find yourself next to Finn!"

Caroline followed Klaus inside the small house as confusion covered her features. "I thought Finn was alive?" She finally asked.

"He was but not any longer. I daggered him after he kidnapped you in exchange for Sage. Or rather Niklaus did."

"How do you know that?"

"I dreamt it when we slept by the lake." He turned away and flashed into one of the rooms for only a moment before returning with a long pale blue gown. It was unlike any other dress she had worn before.

"The woman in the back room will help you dress." He smiled as he noticed her eyes beaming with delight.

"It's beautiful."

"It's the best I could do, for now." He replied. "Go, get changed."

Caroline grabbed the dress, squealing as she ran her fingers over the delicate beads on the bodice. She skipped excitedly to the back room where the woman was waiting to help.

Klaus quickly changed into a clean pair of trousers and fresh tunic before heading back outside to speak with Kol. He needed to find Rebekah but could not risk putting Caroline in danger again.

That left him with only one option.

Caroline was stunned at how hard it was to walk in such an extravagant gown and was thankful she was dead and did not need to breath. The woman who had helped her dress had tightened the corset so snug she was certain if she were human her entire torso would be one giant bruise.

She slowly crossed the room, trying not to trip as she ran her hands over the fine material. The fabric was unlike anything she had ever felt. It was incredible. She smiled to herself as she twirled in the center of the small room. Finally a century with the finest luxuries.

"Are you about done, sweetheart?" Klaus called out from the main room, pulling her from her fantasies of Cinderella and finding her prince charming. How could she imagine such a thing when she was trapped here with him?

"Coming." The woman slid a small crystal broach into her hair as she left it brushed perfectly down her back.

Walking out of the room she found Klaus facing away staring out the front door. He was speaking with Kol but turned immediately as he heard her come out.

"About time, lo-"His breath hitched as his mouth fell open. She was absolutely ravishing. Beyond any beauty he had ever had the pleasure of seeing before. "You look stunning."

Caroline felt her cheeks flush as his heated gaze roamed over her body. She couldn't help but noticed he had changed into a much sexier and much cleaner outfit as well. She frowned as she noticed the new tunic covered far too much of his body.

"Are we ready to go find Rebekah?" She asked walking past him and out the door where Kol stood with a smug smirk.

"Change of plans, darling." Kol chuckled.

XXXXXXX

"WHAT!" Caroline screamed as Klaus explained his new plan. "No! No, No. Nooo!"

"Caroline, it is not safe for you to go with me right now." Klaus explained. He had to admit he was pleased that she wanted to stay with him but knew better than to read too much into it.

"So what? You're just going to pawn me off on your brother?" She snapped, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Don't worry. I'll take great care of you." Kol slowly licked his lips as his eyes raked devilishly over her.

"Oh god, this is not happening." She rolled her eyes as she shook her head. "I'm going with you. You can't make me leave with Kol. Him of all people! He's disgusting and perverted by the looks of it."

Klaus reached out and placed both his hands on her shoulders trying to calm her. "I'll be back soon, love. Kol knows better than to try anything. He'll take you to our home and introduce you to Elijah and Rebekah as a friend. You'll be safe, I promise."

"What about Niklaus? Will he be there?" She asked nervous for his answer.

"Yes, but he will be too distracted to worry about you this time. Just stay out of his path. It would be best to not speak with him if you see him." Klaus told her staring down at the ground as he finished.

"Why does it matter? He won't remember me anyway." She began but Klaus cut her off.

"Just leave him alone! I need to go find my sister before she finds herself in trouble. Give me your bracelet."

"What?" She quickly pulled her hand away and held the bracelet tightly with her other hand.

"I need the bracelet to keep it safe and ensure we don't travel through time without you in my arms."

His words were far more intimate than he had intended but it was the truth.

"I just want to make sure you don't go through alone again." He explained as she finally took off the delicate piece and placed it in his palm. She nodded in understanding as he gave her a small barely visible smile.

"I'll be back soon." Turning he whispered something to Kol that appeared threatening by the hard set frown on his face.

"Of course." Kol snickered as Klaus gave one last longing glance to Caroline before flashing away into the darkness.

"Shall we, darling?" Kol reached out his hand and reluctantly she accepted as they headed towards the castle of the originals.

Present day

Kol stood outside the old abandoned house hidden deep in the woods as he waited for Bonnie to return.

Elijah had spoken with Elena and filled her in with their plan since he believed she could help but it honestly only further complicated things. Elena's main concern was for Bonnie not to be harmed yet Kol could not wait to torture her until his brother was returned.

Hearing footsteps approach he pulled himself up into a high branch and watched. He expected to find the Bennett witch but instead the smug grin of Damon appeared.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Kol snapped jumping down to the ground. "You're supposed to be with Elena keeping an eye on the witch while she's in town."

"Don't worry Stefan just called. She's on her way here now and Elena wanted me to be here. You know, make sure you don't hurt her."

"You expect me to believe you care?" Kol balked.

"Elena wants Caroline back but if it was up to me Blondie, your psychotic brother and slutty sister could stay gone."

Kol reached out grabbing him by the neck when their heads snapped to the side at the sound of steps grew closer.

"Fine, you get to be the bate." Kol smirked in a whisper as he threw Damon into the path that Bonnie was walking.

"Damon!" She hissed, holding out her hands towards him as she began chanting.

Kol snuck around behind her as she focused her powers and senses on the vampire who was now pulling his hair out of his head, screaming as he huddled to the ground.

In a flash Kol had the needle plunged into the side of her slim neck. Her body instantly fell back, unconscious in his arms as Damon regained his strength and began to stand.

"How much time until she wakes up?" Damon inquired.

"Not much." Kol noticed her hand begin to twitch. She was more powerful than they had assumed. Wrapping her in his arms he flashed faster than ever through the forest back to his large home.

As he neared the driveway he felt her head begin to shake, she was fighting it. A mere four minutes had passed. She should be out longer than this, he thought as he raced inside.

Throwing open the door he raced down the basement steps just as her eyes flew open. Elijah was there holding open the cell gate as Bonnie began to claw he way out of Kol's grip.

Using all his vampire strength, he pushed her inside and watched as Elijah slammed the spelled metal door shut.

"Fools!" She laughed menacingly. "You think you can trap me here? I will destroy you as I have Rebekah and Klaus!"

"Give it a try?" Kol snickered as she closed her eyes and tried to focus her energy on causing him pain. Nothing happened. The spell their witch had cast on the cell had indeed worked.

"What is this?" She snarled through gritted teeth.

"Your new home. Bring back Klaus, Rebekah and Caroline, then perhaps you can leave." Elijah said.

Bonnie simply laughed as she plopped herself down on the small cot they had placed inside for her. Elena had begged Elijah to give her a few amenities.

"I think I'd rather stay here awhile rather than give you what you want." She continued laughing as Kol and Elijah left the room.

"Is she alright?" Elena cried out as the two originals walked into the foyer.

"For now." Kol replied heading out into the afternoon sun to get a drink.

"What can we do?" She asked, ignoring Kol and staring straight at Elijah for answers.

"We wait her out."

"I want to speak with her." Elena ran towards the basement stairs but Damon was faster, blocking her path.

"I don't think so!" He scolded.

"I'll be fine. She has no magic in there." She tried to push him out of the way but he did not even budge. Looking up with her big brown eyes she murmured. "Please, I have to try."

Damon let out a loud sigh as he stepped out of the way and let her pass.

"There has to be some way to speed things along." He said turning back to Elijah.

"My witch is looking into it but until then, we wait."
