Caroline snuggled to him closely. His strong arms enclosing her in a tight hug felt so wonderful. She breathed in his scent... she could never get tired of his scent. The burning glow of their almost endless series of lovemaking is slowly cooling down in the comfortable embrace they were sharing. She closed her eyes, smiling and giggling while Klaus continued to whisper soft words for her to hear. His voice and his breath are like feather to her ears. She whispered words back and she heard him laugh, low and husky.

Caroline had never been so happy.

Klaus watched her sleep. The smell of her is intoxicating, yet beautiful, and dangerous, insane, and lovely. It was divine, the sight of her naked in his arms, curled up into him as if she's home. His hand gently caressed her back. He held her tighter as he drifted into his own sleep.

Never would he ever, let her go.


That same night, a different tension occurred in the Salvatore Boarding House.

"Is the witch ready?" Stefan asked his brother. Alaric and Damon already found a witch that can break the blood bond and they already have their next move.

Damon raised his eyebrows at Stefan and smirked. "More than ever, brother. Just as she says." He looked his eyes over him, and knit his eyebrows. Although he admits it was quite difficult to find the witch whom he and Alaric found in New Orleans, something about that old lady seems off for Damon. "I think we're not ready to do this. I don't trust that witch." He said.

Stefan looked up at his own brother with measuring eyes. "Why not?" He asked.

Damon made a smug face and shrugged. "She doesn't smell good, I don't like her, I don't trust her. I think we better find another one."

Stefan knitted his eyebrows and smirked. "Are you telling me you're scared? You're not going to back out on this, are you?" He asked.

Damon raised his eyebrows and laughed in a sarcastic tone. "Are you kidding me? Brother, there's a difference between being scared and being smart. Do I look scared to you?"

Stefan gazed back at his brother and in his eyes he saw firmness. "No." Then he laughed, mockingly. "But Damon, are you sure she's the one not to be trusted?"

Damon's eyebrows met again, then his eyes slowly widened in fear of something at the sight of his brother's eyes slowly becoming filled with rage. "What do you mean?"

"I know, Damon." Stefan said, his tone is calm but no one can ever deny the sudden tension of anger coming from that well hidden calm tone of voice and clenching of jaw. "I know what happened."

Of course, Damon thought. Damon's eyes faltered at his brother's statement. He had been fearing this but he knew... Stefan knew. Stefan knew that Elena slept with him. It was a mistake... or maybe actually not, but he's fearing this confrontation with his brother. Elena and Stefan may already be broken up before it happened, but nobody can still say it's not wrong.

In no second, Damon felt his brother's fist on his jaw and found himself on the floor.

"I'm not yet done." Stefan said afterwards. "Let's just get over with this plan and we'll continue right after."

With that, Stefan walked away. Damon watched his little brother with concern, hoping that once this is done, he'll understand.


It was already noon time and Caroline just woke up. She stared at the mirror in front of her in the bathroom, and she never felt so beautiful. She would never forget all the things she and Klaus did last night on the bed.

But she came here with a reason. Last night will be forever treasured but what she's going to do today is something that might change everything. She drew a deep breath. She has to be ready. Although her friends all think that this weekend trip is another distraction plan, she has a different plan on her mind.

Today, she will tell Klaus everything. That was her plan, a plan she never told anyone. She's a fixer, and she'll fix this problem her way. She'll tell Klaus what they all have been doing and planning. She knew Klaus won't like that his hybrids are being un-sired, but she's ready to give herself in exchange. She would do everything just so Klaus wouldn't kill any of her friends. And she would give up everything, just so Klaus wouldn't feel he's not alone without his hybrids.

She only hoped, Klaus would admit the same feeling she has towards him. Because if he does, then everything will fall perfectly into place.

However, if not, and if Klaus would plan to retaliate in an unacceptable degree of madness and evilness towards the people she cares about, she would take everything in her own hands. She let out a deep sigh.

Caroline took a shower and made herself fresh. She wore a pretty floral dress. She had just finished her lipstick when suddenly, she heard voices out the other side of the room.

She heard Klaus laughing and talking from the room. She realized he's talking to someone on his phone. She stopped to listen carefully.

"Good for them, well I hope they learned their lesson" It was Klaus, and he's chuckling.

"Oh brother, only if you saw their faces. Where the hell are you anyway?" Caroline knew that laughing voice. It was Kol.

"What about the stake? Do you have it now?" Klaus said, ignoring his question.

"Well, we have a bit of a problem there. They don't have it, they said it was stolen."

"And you believe them?" The change of tone in Klaus's voice is obvious.

"Sister compelled the truth out of them, yes they have no idea where the stake is."

"We'll talk about this when I return." and then there was a beep.

Caroline already has a feeling that they're talking about her friends. Immediately, she took her phone from her purse and there she saw several text messages and missed calls all throughout the day yesterday.

"Caroline, please call me back, I need to talk to you." - Stefan

"We found a witch. Tyler un-sired all the hybrids. We're doing it tomorrow Caroline, when you get back." - Stefan

"We have a problem, the stake's missing. Pls see if it's with Klaus. Call me." - Stefan

"I've been trying to reach you Care, please answer your phone" - Bonnie

"The plan's over. The witch is with Klaus's side all this time. He knew all along, be careful Caroline. Please call me back, I need to know you're safe." - Stefan

"Caroline please come home, it's dangerous. Klaus knew, please call me." - Elena

And there's more from Bonnie and all the others wanting her to be safe. She texted them all back asking if anyone's been hurt. She told them that she's okay and she'll return before tomorrow comes.

With a deep breath, she opened the door and left the bathroom.

Klaus was standing against the bright sunlight, just by the window, wearing only a robe. When he heard Caroline get out of the bathroom, he remained standing, refraining from looking at her. He felt her move towards him and he knew she's standing with her arms crossed.

"So you knew, huh." Caroline said all so simply.

Klaus sighed and slowly turned around.

"Yes love, all this time. You don't really think I'm that easy to be fooled, do you?" He smirked, his eyes now plain dangerous.

"How did you find out?" She asked, swallowing.

Klaus gave her a smile, his dimples showing, as he reached for a glass on the table nearby and poured himself some alcohol.

"It was Rebekah who found out first about your little plan of un-siring my hybrids..." He said, his face quickly turned into a grimace, as if disgusted. "About your plan of breaking the bloodline through a witch, and then killing me with the stake. So I made my move. My hybrids are all just pretending to be un-sired and the witch was never on your side." Klaus explained. "Just hours ago, however," Klaus continued after he drank some wine. "things got a little ugly back home and Kol had to let them discover how uh, your little plan won't work anymore."

Klaus looked at Caroline with careful and guarded eyes, waiting for her reaction.

Caroline sighed and looked down on the floor. "Yeah, I've heard." she uttered in a whisper, lacking of any emotion besides her concern about her friends. "Did... did anyone got hurt? Elena? Bonnie? Stefan?" she asked him.

"No." Klaus stated. "But I'm afraid, someone will eventually, if we don't get the stake. What you and your friends did broke our family's deal, and that means we get to keep the stake now. Unfortunately, your friends say it's missing. Kol and Rebekah can be quite impatient."

"Okay" Caroline said, swallowing. "I'll uhm, I'll help them find it. Just... don't hurt anyone."

Klaus started to move. Slowly, he walked towards Caroline, who found herself confused from where she's standing.

Why, Caroline thought. Suddenly, everything became less difficult. Their plan failed but there's not much danger in the stake being possessed by their family, is there? They can just give them the stake...

Klaus' approaching shadow loomed over Caroline.

"But you won't have to find it" Klaus then spoke in a dangerously low whisper, breaking Caroline's train of thought. "Right Caroline?"

"Wh-what?" Caroline asked. "What are you talking about?" Does he know of her little plan too?

Klaus did not break his gaze on her.

"Because you know where it is." Klaus said. "You have the stake, am I right?"

Caroline nervously laughed. How did he know?

"I don't know what you're talking about." She said while she tried to walk away from him, but Klaus caught her arm.

"Caroline, I need you to tell me why you took the stake"

"I don't have it!" She lied, her eyes faltering. "Let me go Klaus, please."

"We both know you're lying. You betrayed your friends, you stole something important to your plan, why?" Klaus said, patiently waiting.

Caroline remained silent, only staring back at Klaus with her eyes guarded.

"I'm not letting you go unless you tell me Caroline." Klaus insisted, his voice gentle.

She felt Klaus had this coming. She stared back at him and there she saw his pleading eyes, flickering back and forth at her own.

"Please, tell me love." he whispered at her.

Caroline stared back at him for a long while. If she could tell it to him, Caroline swallowed for courage, why not take the chance? It's her plan after all.

"I-I don't want them to kill you. I don't want you dead." She whispered back.

Klaus' eyes widened at her statement. He looked at her curiously and saw how her face became so full of worry.

"I was planning to tell you everything while we're here..." Caroline continued talking. "Hoping that you would understand I want to fix this thing. And if you do, they won't be able to kill you because they don't have the stake. And I'm sure they will understand." she explained more.

Klaus's firm hold is slowly becoming loose, his eyes understanding what she's trying to say more and more.

"And if I reacted the other way... you're ready to kill me with it." He said in a low voice, whisper-like. "But you're a vampire, and a vampire should not be the one to kill us with the white oak stake. But you... you're ready to do it... although you knew you will burn and die with me." He said, as if enlightened. "You're ready to die with me" he repeated, whispering.

Caroline dropped her gaze. As much as she feared it, Klaus asked the next question.

"Why?" He asked, with a gruff in his voice.

She felt a lump in her throat. Her chest heaved up and down. Klaus is waiting patiently for what she's going to say.

"I..." Caroline started to speak. "I've fallen in love you." She said, finally, sighing and slowly looking up at him.

They just stared at each other for quite a while, Caroline waiting for what he'll say or what he'll do, and Klaus, wide eyed and surprised that he actually heard the words from her.

"What did you say?" was all Klaus could utter, almost disbelieving.

"I'm not going to repeat it." Caroline replied, suddenly confident, after finally having to say the feeling she kept secret for a long time. However, inside of her, she's shaking in nervousness. She knew Klaus cares for her so much, but suddenly, after saying these words, she felt tensed and somehow afraid for what he's going to say next. She nervously laughed afterwards. "W-well, as if it isn't obvious..." She muttered.

Gently, Klaus moved to cup her face. He rested his forehead on hers and closed his eyes while taking in what Caroline has just said.

Caroline loves him. She just said it. She loves him. He knew where her loyalty lies but she just told him that she cares that much about him. He wanted her to be at her side and though at this time she couldn't do it in the open, those words coming from her meant everything to him. He knows love, and for hundreds and hundreds of years he's been denying to himself that he will ever let himself feel it. But Caroline, simply, surprised him.

Klaus felt Caroline move away from him. He stared back at the gentle pair of eyes looking back at him.

Caroline let out a nervous laugh once again. "S-so... aren't you going to say something?" She asked, her voice is pleading for an answer.

Klaus ran his fingers down both her arms and tightly, he squeezed and held her palms.

"I've said many times that love is a weakness." He muttered. "Caroline love, you will be the death of me."

With those words, Caroline smiled at him and threw herself at him. Klaus caught her and squeezed her in a tight embrace.


The two had spent the rest of the day proving each other the truth of their words. Caroline repeatedly told her friends that she's okay and she's going to return soon, and safe. It disturbed Caroline though, that she did something to betray her friends. But she knew what she's doing. It wasn't careless because she had thought through it for a long time. Every night before she sleep she was thinking of a way, and this is the best way she got. She had to do it for everyone's sake, including the man she's with today.

That afternoon, while sitting outside on the balcony, Caroline asked Klaus something she has been curious of since she first heard of it somewhere. Caroline snuggled closer to Klaus on the sofa while they watch the afternoon sun beginning to set. They have to return to Mystic Falls soon but Caroline has to know this thing first.

"Klaus?" She started. "What do you know about bloodsharing?" Caroline asked.

Klaus looked down to see her face, he saw innocence and curiosity. He only chuckled.

"Why are you just smiling?" Caroline asked, suddenly more enthusiastic. "What is it?"

"It's funny, you make me think of a child asking her parents what an intercourse is." He said, eyebrows raised in amusement.

Caroline's eyes widened. "Really?" she asked, her voice taunting, teasing.

"Bloodsharing, is one of the raw things a vampire enjoys with another one." He explained. "Perhaps, you'd like a demonstration?"

Caroline watched his lips slowly widened in a dark smile. She bit her lip. The innocence became far gone from her eyes.

"Alright" She muttered. "Teach me"

Caroline saw Klaus's eyes became dark with sudden lust. She felt herself shiver as the same feeling is starting to crawl on her. Klaus opened the buttons of his shirt to reveal his neck and shoulders.

"Go on love, have at it" He said, instructing her to drink from him.

Caroline slowly revealed her fangs. The veins protruded under her eyes as they turned red with hunger and desire.

Klaus watched her and thought she'd never been as beautiful as ever.

Caroline traced the tip of her fangs on his shoulder before she dug her fangs down his flesh. She clutched tight his shoulders while she drank his blood.

Klaus tilted his head back in a wave of pleasure. Her lips on his skin while she sucked blood from him is wonderful. He moved his hands onto her hips and brought her up to sit on his lap. Caroline continued to drink from him. Klaus caressed her back as he felt himself weaken from the amount of blood lost from him.

Caroline felt what she's doing with Klaus. She stopped and when she did, she closed her eyes tilting her head back to revel at the pleasure of his blood on her throat. When she looked back at Klaus, she saw him ready for her. It's been a while since she saw Klaus's vampire form and seeing his fangs and eyes in that manner made her go wild with lust. She pulled down the strap of her dress then pulled her hair together in one side of her neck, revealing the soft, smooth flesh of her shoulders.

"Your turn" Caroline whispered.

Klaus held her waist tight and pulled her closer to him with one arm while the other held her secured at the back of her shoulders. Caroline moaned in pleasure as Klaus bit her and drank from her. She knew Klaus is a hybrid and his bite would kill her and bring her pain but in that moment, there was no pain at all. She thought maybe because she already has his blood in her. She closed her eyes and let her mind cease from thinking anything. All she's focused into now, is the feel of bliss.

The sun has set and everything is already dark. After they felt satisfaction from the bloodsharing, they began to let themselves relax.

Slowly, Caroline turned around, still sitting on his lap, and made herself comfortable. She relaxed her back onto his chest and rested her head on the crook of his neck, breathing in his manly scent and the scent of their blood. His arms went around her, resting just above her tummy. Together, their heavy breaths sounded in unison as they try to calm themselves from the ecstasy of the bloodsharing. At the same time though, unintentionally, the two of them became more aware of the feel of each other's body.

Caroline moved her hips, shifting to seek more comfort in their position. Caroline's movements, however, stirred something else in Klaus. Caroline felt it and she smiled.

Maybe it was the bloodsharing, but Caroline easily felt giddy when she felt Klaus' manhood reacting that way through her movement. She teased him more. She moved her hips more and next thing she knew, Klaus's hands are already on her breasts, and she felt him more, harder, bulging, and in that moment, she could never resist to respond. She opened her legs, and the two of them soon found themselves heated up, feverish.

With the taste of blood still on their lips, their tongue, their bloodstream, they began touching each other, Caroline rocking him and Klaus kneading her body wherever his hand landed. Everything's heightened as ever.

While Klaus lowered his head to kiss Caroline, slipping his tongue in her mouth and tasting her hungrily with so much fervor, his hands went down until it reached the hem of her skirt. And from there, his hands crawled underneath, caressing her soft smooth white thighs upwards. His hand found her mound and softly massaged it, making Caroline whimper and gasp. He reached for her undies and slowly, he pulled it down. The tiny piece of fabric slid off her creamy white legs and quickly dropped on the floor.

Caroline fumbled through Klaus's pants which in a matter of seconds was left, down and open, revealing Klaus, naked and ready. Klaus held Caroline closer to him as he sat up straight to gain more access. And in no time, Caroline felt him, right near her tender core.

"Klaus, please"

Finally, as they reached the perfect position, Klaus gripped her hips and slowly, he slid in and entered her. They began moving, the two felt ecstasy in each thrust Klaus makes. Caroline shifted her position and they continued to do it facing each other. Caroline straddled Klaus and held him tight. Each calling out the other's name out loud while they moved together in continuous passion.

Their bodies are wet with sweat, as well as the remaining garments Caroline is wearing, which eventually flew across the room once the two found their way once again on the bed.

Although they knew they had to return home soon, they made sure they're not hurrying things up while they made love.

"Oh thank god you're alright, what happened?" Bonnie and Elena hugged Caroline good morning while she went down for breakfast back at her house. She and Klaus had traveled back to Mystic Falls just before midnight and made it before morning came.

"I'm okay. And thank goodness nobody was hurt. But please tell me what exactly happened that night?" Caroline asked.

Elena sighed. She told Caroline how Kol showed exactly how useless their efforts had been. That night, Kol and Rebekah had a run-in with Hayley who, they realized, was arrogant and a bitch. Tyler came to the rescue with his hybrids when Kol slammed to Tyler's face how the hybrids were only pretending to see him as their alpha. Rebekah mentioned about the fake witch and Damon and Stefan were able to confirm it afterwards. Elena and the others were all witnesses to what happened.

"They were practically laughing at us" Elena muttered.

"But now, they are not." Bonnie said. "The stake is missing, we don't know where it is. They are angry and we have a real problem now that Klaus is already here. Did Klaus tell you he knew?" She stated, her eyes filled with worry.

Caroline stared at her two friends. She gulped down. "About that... I have to tell you something important." She softly said.

"Care..." Elena asked, her eyes puzzled. "I'm glad that he didn't hurt you. He knew about everything, did Klaus tell you anything? What happened over there? Is the stake with him"

Caroline carefully looked back at her friends whose eyes are confused and filled with questions.

"Okay listen, Elena, Bonnie, I have to tell you something important. I need you to listen to me."

Elena and Bonnie looked at each other in fear and concern.
