Ok so I never really update twice in one day but wanted to leave you all with a non-cliffhanger. Yes this is going up because all of your lovely reviews. Please never doubt my love for Klaroline. I hope you enjoy it is shorter than any other chapter of this story but wanted to get it up so you all did not have to stress about poor Caroline. I have to admit i took this in a diferent diraction after all the reviews I got so I hope it is not to much fluff. it seems a pissed off Klaus and a regretful caroline trying to prove herself innocent was not what you all wanted so I hope you like the way this chapter turned out. But there will be more drama soon enough and not with Kol :) Enjoy and please review.
"What in the hell is going on here?" Elijah yelled. He looked at Kol and Caroline naked on the bed with her in his lap but also noticed the broken vases and ripped bedding.
He walked closer to the bed as Kol yelled "Get out of here; this is no concern of yours. You heard her she wants this so if you would give us some damn privacy it would be much appreciated." Kol went back to kissing her neck only this time he did it sensuously.
Elijah turned to leave but saw the tears in Caroline's eyes and the pleading on her face. As he began to approach her Klaus entered the room.
"What is this!" he yelled rushing at Kol and pulling him up by his neck. Caroline quickly covered her nude body as the tears rolled down her cheeks. She had no words other than "I'm sorry".
Klaus ignored her and glared at Kol.
"What can I say, she wanted me. Do not be a sore loser brother." Kol laughed.
Klaus was angry but could not help become filled with sadness. Is it true, did she really want Kol?
Klaus snapped Kol's neck without another thought and let his body fall to the ground before turning to Caroline. Rebekah was in the room now holding Caroline and trying to calm her down.
Klaus had seen enough, he would not share a woman with his brother as he had Tatia. He walked towards the door when Rebekah called to him.
"She cares for you Nik. She would not do this." She told him.
He wanted more than anything to believe in that but it was difficult as he had been through this before.
"I am done, let's go home." He said.
"No! I will not let you walk away from the one person who can give you the love you need, that you deserve. She cares for you. She had to have been compelled!" Rebekah yelled.
As soon as Rebekah's words were spoken he cursed himself for not thinking it sooner. He knew Caroline would never hurt him like this.
Rebekah looked at Caroline's teary eyes and compelled for her to speak the truth.
"What happened tonight?" Rebekah asked.
Caroline controlled her sobs and finally spoke looking at Klaus "I am sorry, Kol came into my room. He did this. I never wanted him; I never wanted any of this. He attacked me and said I was to be his. I am so sorry." She began crying again.
Klaus rushed to the bed and pushed Rebekah away. He held Caroline tightly rubbing his hands gently down her arms. This was his fault; he should have known Kol would try something so horrible. It could never happen again. He would have to make sure of it. Vervain, she needed vervain. He pulled her eyes to his.
"Sweetheart, I am sorry. This was my fault not yours. Please forgive me. I promise I will never let anyone hurt you again." He told her and placed a chaste kiss on her forehead.
Look at me Caroline "Anything Kol compelled from you it is over you will forget he his compulsion." Klaus compelled to her as another tear ran down her cheek. She hated what had happened but was relieved the truth was out. The thought of her being forced to love Kol was too much to handle.
She let out a sigh and continued to cry in his arms as Rebekah and Elijah left them alone. Elijah had wrapped a blanket over Kol's body and was carrying him over his shoulder and out the door.
"I feel awful for what Kol did to her. How could Kol be so cruel?" Rebekah asked. "You do not think Nik will dagger him like he did Finn, do you?
Elijah looked down at her "I will not allow that to happen. Our family will be together again. I will make sure of it. Now go back to your chambers and sleep sister. We are going home tomorrow."
Elijah walked away towards the stairs where an older gentleman was standing. He was one of their most trusted servants.
Rebekah closed in on them hiding in the shadows to listen.
"It is time we get rid of Caroline. My family needs to be whole again. Nothing is of higher importance." Elijah told the man.
Rebekah was shocked and quickly ran to her room to come up with a plan to protect Caroline. She needed to tell Nik but as she made her way back to Caroline's room she saw Klaus still holding Caroline. He looked just as hurt as she did. Now was not the time to bother them.
Rebekah waited till morning and finally Klaus left Caroline's room. Rebekah snuck in and found Caroline sound asleep on the bed.
"Caroline. Please wake up." Rebekah whispered into her ear.
"Rebekah? What is it? What's the matter?" Caroline asked as she opened her eyes and saw the concern in Rebekah's.
"We have to go, now. Elijah will be here soon. There is no time to explain." Rebekah told her as she pulled out a blue dress for Caroline to wear.
Caroline was confused but she trusted Rebekah. She quickly put on the dress just as there was a knock at the door. Caroline looked at Rebekah to tell her what to do and she pointed to the window.
Caroline was shocked as Rebekah told her to climb out and meet her in the barn on the far end of the property. "Do not talk to anyone. No one can be trusted other than me and Nik!" She told her and then closed the window behind her.
Rebekah answered the door and saw Elijah standing impatiently.
"I have come to have a word with Caroline." He told her.
"She is not here, I believe she is with Nik." She lied hoping he would not catch on.
"I am quite certain she is not as I just spoke with our brother downstairs." He told her suspiciously.
"What do you want with her?" She asked cautiously.
He glared at her "What have you done, Rebekah?" Elijah demanded as he pushed past her and found the room empty.
"She cares for Nik, I am certain of that and I will not let you hurt her!" she yelled.
"Our family is already torn apart and now that she has come back into our lives it has only gotten worse. Kol and Niklaus could have gotten past things but now Niklaus is blind. He needs to forget about that girl and focus on his loyalty to our family as well as breaking his curse." He told her coldly.
"I will not help you separate her from Nik. He needs her and I will protect her even if that at means going against you!" she stated.
"Do not test me Rebekah! I do believe you are having a visitor for lunch today and would hate to have him suffer the consequences of your actions." he threatened. "Now go down and find her! I will promise not to kill her if you help me. I will only compel her to forget all of us ever existed so that Niklaus can focus on what is important to him, his family."
She ran out to the barn to find Caroline and was shocked when she realized Caroline was not there. Did Elijah find her already? She called for her and looked everywhere with no luck. It was time to talk to Nik.
Caroline had made her way to the barn but upon arrival was attacked by a man she recognized as one of Elijah's servants.
He grabbed her and snapped her neck before carrying her limp body deep into the woods.
When Caroline came to she saw Elijah standing in front of her. She was bound to an old wooden chair and as she looked around she saw she was in the middle of a small hunting shack.
"What do you want with me?" she choked out. She felt her head spin from having her neck snapped.
"I want you to leave. My brothers need to forget you or my family will never be able to be one again" he told her calmly. "How would you like to go about that? Death or compulsion?"
"Klaus will never forgive you!" she spat as she squirmed trying to free herself from the ropes. It was no use especially since if she did break free she was no match for Elijah.
"We are family and family always forgives, in time anyway" He told her.
"This is unbelievable. You are the one who sent me here!" she snapped. "This was your idea not mine. I did not ask for any of this!"
"What are you speaking of?" he asked curiously.
"Well, I guess I have no choice but to tell you. I am not from here. I am from the future. You are the one that sent me here." she told him.
She was not expecting him to believe her but she was also not expecting him to laugh at her.
"Why would I have sent you here?" he asked as his laughter stopped.
"That's what I wanted to know but it seems you think I can save your brother Klaus. In my time he is not around anymore. Desiccated to be exact." She said calmly.
Elijah walked away thinking, could this be true. "I will send for a witch to tell me what this is all about in the mean time I will allow you to go back if you can answer a few questions for me."
She stared at him and nodded waiting for his answer. He placed both hands on her cheeks and brought her face up so they were eye to eye.
She knew what was about to happen and did not fight it "You will answer all of my questions honestly from now on. No secrets will be kept from me." He compelled.
He let go of her face and asked his first question "Are you truly from the future?"
"Yes." She answered simply.
He continued "Do you care for Niklaus?"
"Yes, I do" She replied.
"Do you love him?" he asked as she had his full attention. No woman had ever loved his brother.
"No" She answered "But I could, I feel it inside me when I am near him."
That was all he needed to hear. "Thank you Caroline. Please allow me to escort you back to the house." He stated as if he had not threatened her just moments ago.
She felt safe for the time being but was not sure what was to happen once he brought a witch to see her. Would she finally go back home? Did she even want to go home?
Elijah and her arrived back to the house early afternoon and saw Rebekah saying goodbye to Lewis.
Rebekah ran towards them as the approached.
"Are you ok Caroline? I tried to find you but you were gone. I told Nik and he has went out searching for you." She said glaring at Elijah.
"I am fine, Elijah and I were just talking over a few things but all is resolved for now. Is that right?" she asked him.
"Yes, everything is as should be for the time being. I must go prepare for our trip home. I will instruct the maids to have your things packed as well." He said before heading inside.
"Are you sure you are alright?" Rebekah asked
"Yes, your brother was just looking out for Klaus." Caroline started saying as she felt strong hands wrap around her waist.
She turned and saw Klaus standing behind her with relief in his eyes.
"I searched everywhere for you. Rebekah told me what Elijah was planning on doing and I was afraid I would never see you again." He said as she pulled herself into his arms.
"It's ok I'm here, I'm safe." She told him as she smiled and reached up and brushed her lips over his. "I am not going anywhere."
Rebekah left them their privacy as they continued to kiss.
"You are proving quite difficult to keep safe love." Klaus sighed.
"Sorry about that." She teased.
"It seems I have two brothers that I need to teach some respect to!" he hissed.
Caroline grabbed his face so he was looking right at her "Elijah just wanted to speak to me, please, leave it be for now." She said kindly.
"So you will be joining us as at our home?" Klaus asked his voice full of hope.
"If you will still have me." She answered.
"Always sweetheart always" he replied as he pulled her in for another kiss.
So I hope you all like this chapter its short but sweet. She will be going to Klaus's home and we will see what happens between them next. Also what will happen when Elijah brings in his witch. Please review it is much appreciated. And remember I am a huge Klaroline fan so never doubt that I will always give them the ending they deserve.
