Thanks all of you for your reviews! Glad you liked my last chapter! I am writing this while traveling on a ship trying not to sleep so i pray it's good! Please enjoy!

Caroline (first life)

He was gone again.

I didn't know where he was always going these days, he disappeared without saying anything even to me.

He always told me everything.

I was angry and sad at the same time.

It was probably because of her, Tatia.

He liked her i could tell.

I wasn't completely sure and that was what was keeping me sane.

But i noticed that he was looking at her in a way he never looked at me.

I hated this.

''Hey, Caroline!'' I heard a man shout and stopped in the spot.

''Caleb'' i said and smiled.

He was a friend of mine from the village.

''You were off in your own world again.'' he said catching up to me and started to walk beside me.

''Just thinking about my chores. What are you doing? Has the hunt gone well?'' i asked glad for the distraction.

Everything to keep me from thinking about Nick.

''Quite well, even though Nicklaus had to gloat again that he and Elijah got the bigger pray.'' he said sounding annoying.

''You still dislike him don't you?'' i asked remembering the thousand times i had to stop a fight between them.

They hated each other from when they were little.

''I think the feelings are mutual. Lately i haven't seen you two together. What happened i thought you were practically glued to each other?'' he said and smiled but his tone was bitter.

''I haven't see him lately. He's been busy.'' i said feeling sad.

''Yes, busy.'' he remarked sarcastically

''Do you know something?'' i asked not sure if i wanted to know the answer.

''Well the only thing i will tell you it's not to go near the lake the times he disappears'' he said and walked away.

''Had to go Caroline. See you later.''

''Later'' i said but my mind was off.

What did he mean?

Should i go to the lake to find out?

No, this is not me, i won't go there.

It's not my business.

But it was about Nick!

Nick was my business.

I was home before i noticed it.

''Ayanna, i'm home.''

''You are back sweetie.'' she said and hugged me.

''How was your day?'' i asked her

''Good, i cooked your favourite and we have a guest. Nicklaus is here. I am going to bring the food and we will all eat together, he hunted for us again.'' she said and walked away in a happy mood.

I entered the room and i felt hands around my body hugging me tightly.

Nick.

I hugged him relishing on the fact that he was here and the feeling of his body against mine.

I felt like a was releasing i breath i didn't know i was holding.

I felt so warm in his arms, safe.

I just stayed like that listening to his heartbeat.

'God, i missed you.'' he whispered in my hair and pulled away.

''Then you shouldn't vanish in thin air and not tell me where you were going.'' i replied and hit him playfully in the arm.

''Stop hitting me. I learnt my lesson, i won't spent so much time without seeing you again.'' he said and gave me a warm smile.

''That's a good boy.'' i said and couldn't help but smile back.

I was ready to ask him where was he going all these days when Ayanna came in with the food.

We were laughing and talking all night until it was time for him to leave.

It felt so good to have him back.

I accompanied him to the door.

''Michael won' be angry that you stayed so late, would he?'' i said fearing for him.

''Michael is always angry Care but it is worth it.'' He said and put one strand of my hair behind my ear.

I blushed like crazy.

The sensation i felt was surreal.

''Goodnight'' he said and i watched him leave before whispering goodbye back.

Klaus

Content, that's how i felt.

I have missed spending time with her.

Just sitting there, hearing her speak and laugh was enough to make me relax and forget my problems.

But Tatia was demanding.

She wanted all my free time and she didn't want anyone to know.

So i lied to Care and i felt terribly about it.

For years we told each other every little problem and secret we had.

We were each others home.

I haven't forgotten that.

''Klaus'' Tatia purred as she saw me coming to her.

''No one calls me that.''

I didn't like that name at all but Tatia did as she pleased.

''That's why i like it because i am the only one that calls you that.'' she said and moved to kiss me.

Because that's what we did.

No deep conversations, no romantic walks, it was physical.

But i loved that she choose me over everyone that wanted her.

She made me think my father was wrong because she saw something in me that made her to want to be with me.

Even infallible Elijah, the perfect son hasn't won her over, i had.

So i kissed her back thinking of all that.

We fell to the ground and things got messy.

Her clothes were soon gone.

But then a smell hit me.

It smelled like Caroline and that made me think of her.

It was a bad time to let my mind wander around her.

Tatia was under me moaning her brown hair spilled to the ground but all i saw was blood hair against the green grass.

I heard Caroline's voice screaming my name and that made me crazy.

I thrusted harder into her with more force than before.

Something inside me had snapped.

When it ended i fell to my back trying to catch my breath.

That was wrong, way wrong.

It was that stupid's smells fault.

I didn't like Caroline that way, i couldn't.

''That was amazing, you are getting better.'' she said and smiled wickedly at me.

She kissed me again and these time i pushed Caroline out of my mind so i didn't see her running away from the scene her blonde hair flapped in the wind.

Klaus (present time)

I entered Caroline's house and went straight to her bedroom.

I felt my body stiff at the sight of her.

She laid on her bed unmoving.

I went closer and noticed that her lips had lost their red sensual colour, her face was pale and seemed thinner.

The only thing that reminded me that she was alive was the movement of her chest.

She was still breathing and that was enough.

I could bring her back.

I sat next to her on the bed, took her cold hand and brought it to my lips.

I kissed it and let my warm breath run through her skin.

''I don't know where you went but i will find you like you did.'' i said and passed a hand through her still golden, soft curls.

''You said you loved me so Wake up from me. We are both away from our homes too long. We are away from each other. It's finally time to rest love. Come home to me.'' i begged and begged my voice desperate.

But i didn't get a reaction from her.

The urge to kill started to rise in me again and i tried hard to suppress it.

There was a way, maybe if she heard my own voice, if i gave her my blood.

I needed my body now.

''You saw her. Now leave.'' i heard Bonnie saying afraid for her friend.

She really had bad timing.

I grab her neck and pined her to the wall.

''Listen carefully you little witch you have no right to tell me what to do and especially about Caroline. I will not leave this room. Believe it or not my love is laying there and i will stay with her until she wakes up. Now you better put me back to my body in the next hour or i will start by killing everyone you have made eye contact with.'' i said furiously and let her down.

She tried to catch her breath as she laid on the floor.

''I will put you back. I just need a little time.'' she said in a breath.

''You have an hour, the clock is ticking.'' i replied and i watched her leave in a hurry.

I went next to Caroline again and laid beside her holding her close to my body.

I let her head rest to my chest and wrapped my arms around her more tightly

''Where are you?'' i asked again and this time the fear was clear in my voice.

Caroline (first life)

I didn't know where i was.

My mind was blank and my body numb.

It was true, they were together.

Nick and Tatia.

I fell to the ground and i heard myself sobbing.

I knew i shouldn't follow him but i couldn't stop myself.

That was the price i was paying for my sins.

I saw them kissing, doing more than that actually.

Tears started falling again.

I was stupid, i knew Nick didn't like me that way.

So why was i crying?

It's my fault i had hopes, i must stop this.

I can't cry for him, he was never mine.

I tried to stand up and hold back my tears.

It took me a while but i finally managed it.

My heart felt heavy in my chest and i wished i could rip it out.

''Caroline? What are you doing here so late?'' said a male voice.

It was Caleb again.

God this boy had bad timing.

''I am kinda lost.'' i said trying to wipe away my last tears.

''We are not far away from the village. That's why you were crying? Were you afraid that you were lost? It's ok i will take you home.'' he said and put an arm around my shoulders.

He talked to me along the way.

He was trying to cheer me up and i let him.

''Here you are.'' he said when we reached our house.

''Thanks Caleb.'' i said and gave him a sweet smile.

He was ready to leave when he turned back to me again.

''Caroline do you want to go to the celebration tomorrow night with me?'' he asked and seemed very nervous.

I thought about it, we were all going tomorrow, it was all Rebekah talked about these days.

If i was honest with myself i was waiting for Nick to ask me.

But now it was clear that it wouldn't happen and i said i had to forget him.

''Yes i will love too.'' i replied and i knew it was the right thing to do.

This obsession with Nick had to stop.

''Really?'' he asked sounding surprised

''I will...will pick you up tomorrow.'' he said and moved away almost singing to himself from his joy!

Tomorrow night

Rebekah was all over me.

She was had finished fixing herself and now she was determined to make me absolutely stunning.

''I didn't think he will have the courage to ask you and you said yes!'' Rebekah still couldn't believe it.

''Does my brother know?'' she asked looking at me curiously.

''Why would he know? It's not like he has a say in the matter.'' i asked angrily

''I think he will be very upset that his little blond girl has a date.'' she told me smiling.

''He won't even notice. He has Tatia. He isn't even here, he's out again.'' i said and looked outside.

''Everyone will notice you when i am finished with you.'' she said and continued working on my hair.

When she was finished Ayanna and Esther came in.

''You are so beautiful.'' Esther pointed out.

''Rebekah you did an excellent job. Look at my little girl.'' Ayanna said and looked at me.

I had my hair down and they fall to my back like waves with a flower wreath in the top of my head.

Rebekah had one too but she had her hair up and a green dress hugging her body.

My dress was a pale blue and airy like a nymph.

It flew around my body and showed my bare back.

''Come Caroline, Caleb is here.'' Elijah said as he came to pick me up.

''Ok. See you there Rebekah'' i said and followed him.

I saw Caleb waiting outside.

''Wow, you are beautiful Caroline'' he said and blinked his eyes twice.

He offered me his arms and i took it trying to erase all thoughts of Nick from my mind.

I smiled at him and i could hear my heart cracking.

Klaus

I was sure Michael had sent me so far away for hunting in hope i will lose the celebration.

I made it just in time to change before all my siblings were ready to leave.

''You are very pretty Nick'' Rebekah said teasingly

''You are not awful yourself'' i answered her smiling mockingly.

''Thank you?'' she answered

''Hey where is Caroline? She can't be more late than me.'' i asked

''Oh, he doesn't know. That would be a shock.'' Kol said laughing

''What do i don't know?'' i asked really curious.

''Caroline is already there Nick. Her escort pick her up.'' Rebekah said in a hurry.

''Her what?''

There was some mistake.

Caroline couldn't have a date, she didn't like someone.

If she did i would know, wouldn't i?

''It's Caleb.'' Elijah said entering the scene.

And that moment i felt frozen like someone had punched me.

Caleb she went with Caleb.

That moron, i hated him from when i was five.

Always thinking he was best because of his family status in the village and pointing out Michael's behaviour towards me in every turn.

Caroline didn't know that she thought we had stupid fights.

God i wanted to crash him to the ground.

My siblings were looking at me with worry in their eyes.

''Let's go. We are late!'' i said and left the room.

I was standing there in a corner watching her.

She hasn't seen me yet.

She was too preoccupied with him to notice me.

If looks could kill Caleb will be a long-lost memory.

I knew i had no right but i could not stop this feeling.

There was a monster inside me taking control of my thoughts.

And that monster was possessive.

Every soft touch and smile she gave him burned in my mind.

How dare he touch her so casually.

Touch My Caroline .

Ok, i knew i had no right to say this but in this moment it didn't matter.

I just wanted to rip Caleb apart preferably with my bare hands.

''Klaus. Do you want to dance?'' Tatia asked eyeing me curiously.

The anger must be showing in my face.

I haven't really thought of her tonight.

I had barely noticed that she danced with Elijah up until now.

''Sure.'' i answered and lead her to the dance floor just so Caroline will see me.

People were looking at Tatia but i was staring unstoppable at Caroline.

How could i not notice how breathtaking she was?

I knew she was beautiful but tonight even the stars paled in comparison to her.

She was full of light, like a fairy dancing under the moonlight.

I was captivated by every movement her blue dress made.

What was wrong with me today.

I saw her looking at me with an expression between pain and betrayal before turning her gaze away.

What have i done?

I left Tatia in the middle of the dance and moved toward her.

This dance was so over.

Caroline

I found out i was good at faking.

I managed to smile and talk happily all night with Caleb without showing a trace of my sorrow!

But all changed when he entered the dance.

My mask fell off and as he looked at me and i knew he understood what i was feeling from my facial expression.

So i averted my gaze in a desperate attempt to shut him out.

''We need to talk.'' i heard Nick say and saw that he was beside me grabbing my elbow.

''I'm busy now.'' i murmured trying to make him release me.

''Find time.'' he said with a commanding tone he never used on me.

''Michael is watching.'' i said as i noticed his gaze fixing on Nick ready to strike.

''He is the least of my concerns.'' he pointed out breathing heavily.

''Let her go.'' Caleb said and pushed Nick's hand away.

I knew this was a mistake as i saw Nick eyes darken from rage and something else that i couldn't quite understand.

''You stay out of it.'' Nick said and came closer to him, his hands in fists.

People were starting take notice of the situation.

''Stop it. Caleb i will go with Nick for a minute and i will be right back.'' i said pushing Nick away.

''Care...'' he said sounding defeated.

''Don't call her Care, only i can do that.'' whispered Nick ready for a fight again.

''I'll be right back'' i said in a hurry and backed away with Nick following me.

I noticed Tatia looking at me like she wanted to burn me in the stake.

It was a look i recognized, it was the look of jealousy.

We stopped when we found a quiet place away from the celebration.

''What's gotten into you?'' i said and hit his chest.

He didn't even move, he had a look like a lost puppy.

''Nothing, i just wanted to see you that's all.'' he said not looking at me.

''Really all the scene because you wanted to see me? Be serious. Tell me what's going on!'' i asked really angry now.

''Why would you go with him?'' he said his voice like venom.

''Caleb? That's what all this is about? Why do you care?'' i said confused.

''I care about you. He is not good enough. Do you like him?'' he asked and he sounded jealous?

It couldn't be!

He was with Tatia i reminded myself.

''No one is good enough for you.'' i said not knowing how to answer.

''Because you are too good for any of them. You...you are one of a kind. There are times that i look at you and still can't believe you are real. That i found you.'' he said and moved closer cupping my face with his hands and I leaned to his touch craving for more.

Our eyes closed and our foreheads and noses linked.

We were standing like this just hearing each other breath and the tension increasing.

''Do you like him?'' he asked again almost in a whisper.

''Do i seem like i do?'' i said and my hand found it's way to his chest and i heard him hiss at the contact.

My lips open waiting for his.

For a taste of the forbidden fruit.

''Nicklaus'' we heard Michael shout and we quickly parted before he could see us like that.

''I am here father.'' said Nick and i could feel him tense.

Michael stormed through the woods looking very angry.

''You ignorant boy! How dare you making a scene. I knew you were stupid but i thought you at least and knew your place. Do i need to show you how to behave again?'' he said and he was ready to hit him.

''NOOO'' i said and got in the middle.

''Please let it go just once. It was my fault. Please Michael.'' i begged him.

I didn't want to see him hurt again.

''Just this time but don't defend him again because i will not care even if you are in the way.'' he said and walked away.

I turned to Nick and saw that he had embed his nails so deep in his skin that his hands were bloody now.

I took them in my hands trying to comfort him but he pulled away.

''Don't do that again. Never. Don't get in the middle, he would hit you too without remorse. Don't defend me damn it. Don't you see he is right. I deserve it.'' he said and i could see he really believe it.

''Nick you don't. You father is just blaming you for all his mistakes.'' i said but he was far away.

''Forget everything that happened here. Stay away from me.'' he said looking deep into my blue eyes and then walking away

''Nick, please don't...'' i started but he stopped me.

I was looking at his back as he spoke.

''I am with Tatia. Please don't make this something that it's not.''

Klaus (present time)

Being back at my body was a dream come true.

I was finally me again.

Care might wake up now.

I was in her room again and i had put my hybrids all around it.

No one could enter without my order.

It was time to try.

I bit on my wrist and let my blood flow in her mouth.

She didn't respond, i had to force it down her throat.

But nothing was happening.

It was a waste of time.

I was pulling away when something started to push me inside her mind.

For a moment i was inside her thoughts.

I could see what she was seeing and that wasn't what was i expecting.

I saw us almost kissing at the celebration before Michael interrupted us.

I remember the harsh words i told her.

I tried to shout at her that i was there but the connection was broken and i was back to reality.

She was seeing our past, she was remembering.

Joy passed though my veins and a smile appeared on my face.

But then i realized i had to make her snap out of it before it was too late.

Because the day that i would find her dead was approaching and if she has not wake up until then she might never will.

Klaus (first life)

I had to get away from her.

She almost got hurt because of me.

I wouldn't be her destruction.

Even Caleb was better for her than me.

I couldn't offer her anything, i was damaged.

She deserved so much more.

I could not make her to have to endure Michael and all his rage from me.

It was my burden.

No one should love me, no one really could.

I had to stay away from her even though that moment in the woods changed everything.

If it wasn't for my jealousy, i wouldn't even know.

The realization that I loved her washed over me and I couldn't think straight.

My mind was shattered from the revelation.

She was the one for me, my equal and my lifetime mate.

But i could not have her.

I had to let her find a new home for her own good.

I wasn't hers anymore.

So that's it! Hope you liked it! What do you think will make Caroline wake up? Would Klaus be released from his father's hold over him? See you on the next chapter! Love you all! Please Please review! A good review is as good as Caroline admitting her love for Klaus.
