CHAPTER 11

CAROLINE'S P.O.V.

Klaus and I got dressed after a long period of cuddling. "So are you going to tell me where we are going now?" I asked. I placed my hands on his hips and pulled him closer to me so I could kiss his lips.

"I guess it would be alright if I told you. If there is something else you would like to do, please tell me." He paused. "I thought we could go riding for a little while, I am not sure where we will head after that but I have a new spot to take you to watch the sunset later tonight."

"Sounds perfect." I said with a smile.

KLAUS' P.O.V.

Before we left I grabbed the riding equipment and some fishing equipment. We walked to the field where the horses grazed; I loved to watch Caroline as she looked at the horses, she looked so happy.

I got the horse ready to ride as Caroline ran her fingers along the horse's side. Once we were both on the horse Caroline settled into my chest and I wrapped my arms around her tightly. Riding with her was one of my favorite things to do, I loved to be able to hold her close to me, and I loved how comfortable she was against me.

After a while of riding we got off to give the horse a rest. "Is there anything special you would like to do today?" I asked her.

I could tell by the way she moved her lips that she was biting the inside of her bottom lip. She was absolutely beautiful when she was thinking, hell she was absolutely beautiful no matter what she was doing. She took my hand in hers and smiled as she pulled me towards her as she walked backwards. "How about we just…" She laid down on the ground and looked up at me. "…lay here for a while."

I of course laid down beside her and laced my fingers with hers. I turned to look at her and she was staring up into the sky. "Thank you." I said quietly.

She turned her head quickly and looked at me with a confused expression. "For what?" She asked with a small laugh; as if there was no reason to thank her for anything.

"For coming here; for trying to defend me to my father; for telling me the truth about Tatia and Elijah…for showing me kindness." He paused. "For making me fall completely in love with you."

"Well…" She said as she leaned in closer to me. She placed a small kiss at the corner of my mouth; I loved when she did that. "Thank you for making me fall completely in love with you." She said with a small smile.

After a while of enjoying the silence together I turned to her again. "We should probably head to the lake so we can catch some fish for dinner." I said as I slowly sat up.

We arrived at the lake and she took a seat on one of the many large rocks that surrounded the water. When I glanced over at her after setting up the fishing equipment she was staring at me with her eyes wide open.

"What is it?" I asked with a smile. I knew nothing was wrong; I could tell by the look on her face that she was happy.

"I can't look at you?" She asked with a small smile on her face.

I laughed. "Of course you can.

"Why are you laughing?" She asked in a curious voice. "I find you incredibly handsome, and I love to look at you." She stood up from the rock and made her way over to me. She ran her hands up my chest then ran them down my arms. Her touch sent shivers through my body and it was impossible to think of anything else. Caroline placed her hands at my side and grabbed a fist full of my shirt in each hand. She hooked her finger under the leather necklace that hung around my neck and gently pulled on it until our lips met for a soft kiss. She smiled against my lips; her eyes still closed. "I love the taste of your lips." She whispered; I could feel her lips moving against mine as she spoke. She stepped away from me as she dropped her hands by her side and walked back over to the rock she was sitting on.

Our time together was passing quickly and I could tell, when silence fell between us, she was thinking about it and wishing there was something she could do. I had no idea where I was going to start with my plans to bring her back…all I knew was, failing was not an option; I had to succeed. I promised her that I would bring her back to me and I would; today would not be the last day we spend together.

I sat on the rock next to her. Caroline got up and climbed behind me and began kissing my neck as I tried to catch our dinner. After a few moments she rested her chin on my shoulder and started to run her fingers through my hair.

CAROLINE'S P.O.V.

Klaus caught and then began to cook the fish he had caught. I had to admit that I was not a huge fan of watching all of this go down and it made me not want to eat it but I would never tell him that. We walked a bit further; in a direction that I had never gone. We came to a very large tree and Klaus turned to me with a smile on his face.

"OK. We are here." He said. "Well…almost." He said as he looked up.

I was confused at first but looked up with him and saw…a…tree house. "Wow." I said with a smile.

"Finn, Elijah and I built it when Kol was younger. Henrik used it for a while but not for a couple of years. It is a great view of the sunset; just as good as the field."

He gestured for me to go up first. I lifted the bottom of my dress and began to climb up the tall tree; about half way up I slipped and cut my hand. "Ouch." I said looking at my hand that now had blood running down it.

"Are you alright?" Klaus asked with concern in his voice.

"Yes, I will be fine. I just cut my hand."

Once we reached the top Klaus gently took my hand in his and looked at the small cut that was the source of all the blood on my hand. He slowly wiped away the blood from my hand with the t-shirt he was wearing. "Are you sure you are alright?" He whispered.

I smiled at his concern for me and reached up to cup his cheek with my hand. I rubbed my thumb over his cheek and he smiled immediately; leaning slightly into my touch. "I am sure." I said softly.

After we finished dinner; which I admit was not half bad Klaus pulled me into his chest and I relaxed in his arms. "Thank you for such an amazing day." I said softly as I played with his fingers.

"Thank you for spending it with me." He paused. "I have something for you." He moved slightly so he could reach in his pocket. He pulled out a leather bracelet and secured it around my wrist.

"It's beautiful." I said as I admired it. "You made this." He didn't say anything but I felt him nod over my head. I turned around and touched the leather necklace that he wore around his neck. "Just like yours." I said with a smile.

I pressed my lips to his; the kiss started off slow but like it usually did it grew more passionate. I broke the kiss after a while to catch my breath. I leaned my forehead against his as we both tried our best to regulate our breathing. The sun was about to set but neither of us cared munch. Klaus ran his fingers down my arms. When he reached the bracelet he made me his fingers played with it and twisted it around my wrist; his eyes never leaving mine. "I'm pleased that you like it." He whispered.

He grabbed my lips with mine once again but this time neither of us broke it. Our clothes wound up tossed around the tree house. The pleasure that I had whenever we were together was incredible. I wasn't a virgin before, but sex was always just sex. With Klaus it was so much more; it felt as if our souls were connecting, no matter how corny it may have seemed. The moment we were no longer connected as one I felt cold and almost like a piece of my heart was gone.

We had missed the sunset but neither of us regretted a moment of it. I cuddled up into his chest and enjoyed the feeling of his strong arms wrapped around me. "I love you." I whispered. I couldn't believe that I was going to wake up alone in a hotel room. I hated that this was all going to feel like a dream.

"I love you too." He kissed the top of my head and pulled me in tighter. We were both quiet for a while. "I will see you again soon." He whispered before we both drifted to sleep.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was in the dark hotel room. It was still night; I turned to the alarm clock on the nightstand and it said three twenty-seven. I looked at my wrist and saw the leather bracelet that Klaus had given me. I ran my fingers over it and let the tears fall from my eyes. I tossed and turned for about twenty minutes before I finally gave up. I wasn't going to fall back asleep, I was too upset. I threw the blankets off my body and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

During my shower I had myself a good cry before getting out. I dried myself off and put on my clothes. I hopped into bed I noticed that my vampire abilities had not come back yet, I was still human. I assumed it was just a small hole in the spell and I would probably be back to vampire Caroline when I woke up, if I ever got to sleep that is. I wasn't even awake an hour and I was already going crazy; I missed Klaus so much; I missed the way he looked at me, the feel of his skin against mine, the taste of his lips, his scent, and his smile. A small part of me thought about just running over to the Mikaelson mansion and asking Klaus to runaway with me. I smiled at the thought of what present day Klaus' face would look like if I showed up at his house at four in the morning asking him to runaway with me. Thinking about present day Klaus got me thinking; I wondered what had changed due to the fact of me going back in time. I wondered if Klaus remembered me. I wondered if Rebekah and Kol remembered me; and of course the moment I thought of Rebekah and Kol I immediately missed them as well.

I let out a long and loud sigh then flipped on the TV and pulled the blankets over me. I cuddled into the pillows and tried my best to relax. Watching sitcom reruns that were always on in the middle of the night always helped to put me to sleep so I hoped that it would work this time.
