Change The Past: Chapter 9

Fondly

Hey guys so I hope you all have enjoyed reading this as much as I have writing it. New time period new drama! For those of you wondering about Henrik, he won't come in a lot during this time period, sorry! But we will be checking in on him throughout the story and find out what he's been up to! PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Vampire Diaries, I only on the OC's. Unbeta-ed all mistakes are mine.

Can't get over you. can't get through to you

It's been a helter-skelter romance from the start

Take these memories that are Haunting me

Of a paper man cut into shreds by his own pair of scissors

He'll never forget her...he'll never forget her...

Because days come and go but my feelings for you are forever

-Forever, Papa Roach

Quickly Caroline hid her shock and curtsied. "Pleasure to meet you m'lord Niklaus." Taking her hand he gently kissed it. "Niklaus is the name my father gave me, please call me Klaus." She blushed and nodded.

Tyler took a deep breath. "I'm going back to Mystic Falls" he said. Jessamine and Hayley looked at him in disbelief. Marcel looked bored. "Now that Klaus has forgotten her, someone needs to be there to pick up the broken pieces of Caroline. Which is perfect timing for me to win her back."

Jessamine and Hayley were still stunned but also angry. If Tyler went back to Mystic Falls, Hayley would lose him. With Caroline out of the picture she had a shot with him. Jessamine liked him. More than she would ever care to admit. The two girls exchanged knowing looks. They would have to keep Tyler in New Orleans, no matter what the cost.

After dinner Caroline flopped down on her bed. That had been one of the worst experiences of her life. Klaus was so different in this time. He was hell bent on one thing: the doppelganger. Once again, she came in second. Clutching her charm necklace, Caroline curled up in a fetal position and sobbed. An hour later, she had cried all her tears and fell into a troubled sleep.

Back in Mystic Falls, Klaus wasn't doing much better. Every single time he tried to calm himself and think while painting her only painted one face. Over and over and over. And the worst part was not knowing who this woman was.

"Nik?" Rebekah came into his studio and gasped. Nik stood in front of a large canvas, a partially finished painting in front of him. But it was Caroline, eyes downcast, wearing a light blue gown, and blushing. "Nik?" she asked again, this time more cautiously. He turned and looked at her, his eyes filled with despair. Her heart broke just looking at him.

He looked empty, broken, incomplete. At that moment, Rebekah vowed to do everything and anything she could to bring back Caroline and his memories. "What is it Bekah?" he asked. Even his voice sounded broken.

"I was just coming to see how you were" she stammered out still looking at the painting of Caroline. It was beautiful, but sad. He nodded an acknowledgement before turning back to his painting. Looking around the room Rebekah stifled another gasp. There were at least 20 paintings of Caroline. Turning slowly, she left the room.

"Elijah!" she called out. There was a soft whooshing sound and Elijah appeared in front of her. Grabbing his hand, she led him into the kitchen and turned the blender on. "It's Nik" she said in a low voice.

"What of Niklaus?" Elijah asked puzzled. "I think he's losing it. Have you been up in his studio?" Elijah shook his head no. "There are at least twenty paintings of Caroline in there and his eyes. 'Lijah he looks so empty like there's a part of him missing." Elijah shook his head. "We must get Miss Forbes back and more than that we need to get his memories back. I'll contact Bonnie see if she can track where the spell came from. In the meantime maybe we can trigger his memories of her. Take him to their favorite places, show him pictures, anything you can think of that might trigger the memories of her." Rebekah nodded and left to get Klaus.

Elijah pulled out his phone and dialed Bonnie's number. "Hello?" she said, answering her phone. "Bonnie, it's Elijah can you come over to our house? It's important." Bonnie sat up in bed and grabbed her keys and purse. "I'll be there in 5." she said and hung up.

Caroline woke up the next morning with red eyes and matted hair. Pulling it back into a bun she dressed herself and headed into town in search of a witch. Following her instincts led her to a small home on the outskirts of town. She took a deep breath and knocked. The door opened and she knew she had found a witch.

Power radiated off this man. He was actually quite good looking. Fairly tall, a sexy disheveled mess of chocolate colored hair, and the strangest gold colored eyes. "I need your help" she said. He raised an eyebrow. "I know you're a warlock." his face turned to one of shock before settling on realization.

"You're a vampire." he said wonderingly. She nodded. He looked at her for a few moments trying to decide whether or not to invite her in. While she was a vampire humanity and light radiated off of her and her eyes were honest. "Come in." She looked relieved and stepped over the threshold.

"Thank you." she said. He nodded. "What is it you want my help with?" he inquired. "I'm not from this time period" she told him. His eyebrows inched up his forehead. "I don't want to mess up the future so in a month on the full moon when I leave I need you to make everyone forget about me, especially the supernatural." He nodded at her and she smiled gratefully.

"I can do that." He was a witch and as such it was his duty to keep the balance of nature. But also this vampire had taken a chance coming to him, ensuring she wouldn't change anything and he respected her decision to find him. They talked for a few minutes and then Caroline left and returned to the Mikaelson manor.

When she arrived, she found a box on her bed. Opening it she discovered a beautiful emerald green gown. Enclosed was a note: Save me a dance. -Fondly, Klaus. Caroline smiled softly, history repeating.

Back in Mystic Falls Bonnie had not eaten or slept in over 24 hours when Kol barged into the room she was working in. "Enough." he said. She looked up at him startled and annoyed. He grabbed her hand and dragged her to a guest room where there was a sandwich waiting for her. "Eat." he said. "Then sleep. You're not a machine and you're not a vampire so don't even bother trying to argue with me." She yanked her hand away.

"Knock it off! I need to get back to work! I'm really close I may have found something!" Bonnie glared. Kol glared back before relenting slightly. "Just eat the damn sandwich then you can go back to work but in an hour you are going to sleep. I don't care how I make it happen." She stared at him angrily. "WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE?" she yelled at him.

He looked taken aback for a moment before his eyes softened. "I don't know." he whispered looking up at her through impossibly thick lashes. She met his eyes in shock and some how couldn't look away. Slowly they leaned in toward each other...

I know I'm evil... TVD tonight better not mess up my Klaroline anymore but KOL! Thank god as annoying as he is he's one of my favorite originals. Well actually I love them all, except maybe Finn. As usual please review I do read them and your guys' support means so much to me!
