* I have reviews about this story needing to be Beta, and I would simply like to put it out there if anyone was interested in being the Beta they could PM me.
Over the next several weeks Klaus and Caroline continued to see each other. Museums, movies, walks in the park, and the late night dinner we just a few of their activities. For Klaus the more time that he spent with Caroline the move he liked. Who wouldn't like Caroline? She was strong, beautiful, and full of light; my God did she have spunk. She was like no other girl that he had ever met. She challenged him, she was like the other girls who used sex to get with him. Klaus had no plans on letting her go.
Kol was right, no matter how deplorable Klaus actions might have been he was doing everything to protect Caroline. Beside it was unlikely that she as ever going to find out what happened that night. As it were there were only six people on the who planet who knew the truth and he highly doubted that anyone of them were going to run to Caroline and tell her the truth. No his secret was safe; of that he was certain.
Of course Klaus was also enacting his plans for Damon. Who was Damon Salvatore to question or try to lay rules down with him? He was Klaus Mikealson and he would see whom he wanted whenever he wanted. There could one king and it was not going to be a Salvatore. Of course he would have to be very careful with how he handled things. Their alliance was tentative at best, and no matter how much he hated to admit it they need to make anymore enemies then they already had. No this would have to be subtle, and aimed directly at Damon so that he would not be able to run to his father and brother. Fortunately for Klaus he knew exactly what buttons to push.
Klaus let himself into the hotel room and watched the two occupants. Lying in the bed in a very intimate position were Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert Salvatore; the wife of Damon's beloved younger brother. Klaus cleared his throat and soon the two scatter to grab their clothes. Damon was the first to react.
Damon had a sheet wrapped around his lower half as Elena was fully wrapped in a blanket trying to hind herself behind him. It was a nice effort at trying to hide her identity, but a failed one. "What the fuck do you think you are doing Klaus?" He was livid, not the Klaus had interrupted them mind you no, but what he knew that this was doing to Elena.
"Damon." Klaus greeted him with a jovial expression. He had the smug smile on his face. "Long time no see mate."
"What do you want?" Damon got out between clenched teeth.
"I want to have a chat so why don't you tell Mrs. Salvatore to go into the bathroom for a few minutes while the two of us talk." Klaus looked at Elena as she peeked out from behind Damon. "Go on now love hope to it." Okay so maybe Klaus was enjoying this a little more then he should, but hey if hey these moments didn't come along that often.
Both men watched as Elena shamefully picked up her clothes and then locked herself in the bathroom. "She's gone what do you want?"
Klaus pull the chair from the desk and sat himself down. "I want you to stay out of my relationship with Caroline. I want you to swear that you will not try to meddle or tip her off as to who was responsible for the death of her husband. That's all." Klaus threw his hands up as if it was the simple and most obvious thing.
This angered and annoyed Damon to no end. "Seriously! This is all about Barbie?"
"Watch your mouth Damon." Now Klaus was angry.
"So what I no longer interfere and you don't tell Stefan about this. Why the hell would he believe you over his own brother?"
"I'm sure the video's and photo's that I have of the two of you from the last couple of weeks will be very convincing." Klaus took an envelope out of his jacket pocket. "Those are copies. I still have the originals. Just think what this would do to Elena, or your father. Tell me how do you think he would react?" It was no secret the Gusippie favored Stefan and it was a sore spot for Damon. "Will it be worth it to ruin all of these lives?"
Damon looked at the picture and begrudgingly agreed to Klaus' terms. "Alright, alight. I'll stay out of it."
Klaus grin grew. "Excellent now please call Mrs. Salvatore back in here."
Damon gave Klaus a look clearly conveying his confusion at involving Elena anymore. Elena sat herself on the bed and kept her down refusing to meet Klaus' eye. She was ashamed , and rightful so. " Now I understand that you are very good friends with Caroline; am I correct?" Elena choked out a yes. "Now what I want from you is your support."
"I don't understand?" Elena quipped.
"Its very simple you are encourage Caroline in our relationship. That's all." Klaus knew that if things were going to go as planned he would need as many people from Caroline's life on his side as she could get. Once he got Elena he would move to Bill.
"And in return?" Elena was a dumb women, and she was well aware at how these things worked. Damon had angered Klaus and now Klaus was getting pay back. She was also aware that Klaus was going to want his pound of flesh from her as well.
"In return I won't go to your husband" Klaus dead panned. Truth was he despised women like Elena. They presented an image of goodness and purity while they did what they pleased and were damned who got hurt in the process. They were phoney and fake. Elena much like Damon agreed quickly. "Perfect!" Clearly pleased with the way things turned out Klaus left the very shell shocked couple.
