Chapter 11

"Do you seriously live here? Like this is your house and you live in it?" Klaus chuckled

"Yes Caroline, this is my home" she stared opened mouthed at this mansion of a house that was in front of her. She had only just recently gotten over his car, it was a massive black Bentley and if that wasn't amazing enough he had a car that spoke to him. She was in awe but now she had just stepped out of the Bentley and was stood motionless outside his house.

She thought Buckingham Palace was spectacular; it had nothing over Klaus's. Minus the thousands of police cars parked outside, there was a fountain behind her that was surrounded by neatly cut hedges and small swirl shaped trees around each corner. Below the hedges were rows of flowers, varying from red to blue as they edged each line carefully. The house was surrounded by grass, freshly mowed grass of course. Now looking at the house itself, there were four large beige pillars that went from the ground and met at a large triangle shaped roof top. It was almost ten of her. They were so tall; she felt like a dwarf.

Side by side these pillars were red bricks on either side that had dainty black shutter windows on white frames. There were four on each side, two on top and two on the bottom. Her eyed followed as it stretched out even more; next to these red brick sections of the house was another white balcony like sections that had lace detailing. Caroline stood there for what felt like hours trying to absorb everything in.

She could hear his voice echoing in her mind but she wasn't interested in what he was saying, not when she was faced with heaven

"What?" she said dazed

"Are you coming in?" smiled Klaus now at the double doorways to the house, she was a bit scared to walk in, if this was what the outside looked like what on earth did the inside look like? She nodded as she was so tempted to start taking off her shoes before she entered. She didn't know how to act posh; this was definitely a first for her.

She remembered how in movies a butler would come to door and offer to take their coats off but due to all the chaos going on at the house there wasn't a butler but she wasn't surprised if on regular days, his house was like a scene from the movies

"Do you live here all by yourself?" her mouth was speaking but her mind was miles away, inside was more mind boggling than the outside, it was beautiful beige titles through the centre, behind a large centre floral piece was the wide stair case that branches off into two different directions before meeting again in the middle. It was a ballroom, never mind a hallway

"Well, not exactly. My siblings live here too, and Oscar and the maids obviously"

"M-m-maids?" she shuttered under her breath, he just smiled at her. She might as well just leave while she still could; there was no way she was going to be able to fit in to this. A police officer approached them, all dressed in his uniform he stood in front of them holding what looked like a small clipboard

"You the owner?" he asked in a blunt London accent, as Klaus nodded politely. Turns out nothing much was taken, a few expensive bits and bobs, alongside a photo that was apparently beside his but by the way Klaus reacted to it, it was more than just a picture.

"Don't worry sir, you're fully insured so we can cover all that was lost" before Klaus could say anything a familiar blonde walked up to him

"Oh Klaus, I'm so glad you're here that photo you love is...Oh Caroline hello" Caroline said hi back to Rebeka as she continued talking about this photo, the police officer had gone to talk to a constable that was wondering around on the scene. They were baffled how these people managed to get into such a secure house. They're convinced it's an inside job, that or they had a key.

There was only one person Klaus knew to have a key other than his family, he cringed at the thought.

Once all the police had finally left his property, Klaus took his sister to the side whilst Caroline visited the toilet. He figured she would probably spend the first few minutes lost, so he had plenty of time to have a heart to heart with his little sis

"You know what this means don't you" whispered Klaus, they both had that stern looks on their faces

"They had no right coming in, especially stealing stuff" frowned Rebeka as she looked up to her brother

"They had to make it look realistic, like a real robbery. I know they're only after one thing"

"The photo" they said together

"Does she know what this means for her?"

"No, I haven't told her yet but I will, soon" Rebeka gave her brother a hug, tapping his back ever so slightly

"Be safe" she smiled as she departed once she saw Caroline begin making her way over to them. He didn't know how he would tell her, it was his fault, he shouldn't have kept a stupid photo and now it was too late, they knew

"Love, can I talk to you for a second?" he put his arm around her shoulders as they took a sit in one of the many lounges, this one had white furnishing that covered the whole room

"Is it about the photo?" he nodded, maybe she knew more than he thought " was it of an ex or something I completely understand if it was" he smiled, okay maybe she didn't know as much as he thought. He took her hand in his

"It was a picture of you, love. You know the one I took at dinner, remember?" her face almost relaxed which made him smile "the people who 'robbed' me were from the Secret Service that's the only people I could think that would have a key. They are after you, they must have found out that we're dating and well, I told you how they don't like having any distractions, especially to their top agent"

"What are they going to do to me?"

"I won't let them get to you but we need to get away from here, you can't go home that will be the first place they look. They've matched the name to the face now love. I'm sorry, I have to put you through this but I can't let anything happen to you" she wasn't sure what to think, she knew that he was preparing for such an occasion but she never thought it would actually happen. She doubted he did either, especially not so quickly. Her life was in danger, known assassins were after her, they kill for a living one more person wasn't going to hurt them.

Before she knew it, she was catapulted into the car

"Where are we going?"

"Anywhere from here, they know I'll be with you so there probably tracking me as we speak" Caroline gulped, Klaus took one hand off the steering wheel and placed it over her hand

"Don't worry, love. We'll get out of this, trust me" that was the problem, she trusted him maybe too much. They were travelling at the speed of light when Klaus got a call

"Hello?" he had it on loud speaker, since he was driving. It was a bit too late to hide secrets from Caroline, she was already a part of the biggest secret he had

"We know she knows" that familiar Cockney accent made him bolt

"Leave her out of this, it's me you want not her"

"You see Klaus, we're pretty fair people, we didn't mind you wanting to 'retire' and wanting to settle down with a fancy girl, we get it but a little birdie told me that you let it slip. What is it about the 'secret' services that you don't understand? She knows too much, we can't let her live"

"She won't say anything. She knows less than you think she does, just let her live and you can have me back. I promise I be at you're every beck and call" there was so much tension in the air that even Klaus felt like he needed to open the window

"As tempting as that sound, no can do Klaus. Sorry" and like that the phone was dead. His hand banged the steering wheel so hard that the car shook. This wasn't fair, they had no right nosing about in what he told Caroline and what he didn't. It was his busy if he wanted to tell her about himself, and that was a major part of him that she needed to know

"Klaus its okay let them have me. I'll tell them that I won't tell anyone, I'll promise-"

"No Caroline you don't understand. They're killers, regardless of what you say now, they will still kill you"

"But that's not fair"

"Life isn't fair sometimes. We're just going to have to run and hope they get bored of this sick little game their playing" he sighed

"Welcome to my life"
