A/N: Hi! This week's been awful so I'm making myself feel better with writing and klaroline.I firstly wanna thank everyone for reviewing, favoring, and following this story! I really wanna convey my thanks to everyone for reading since it means so much to me and I really enjoy writing this as well. It's taken my all week to figure out what should happen next. Lots of thought went into the next part of the story so I just want to thank everyone for reading and making me consider what will take place next. Which leads me to secondly I wanna thank everyone for their ideas and trying to help me think of the next part. I really loved all of them, I had considered most of them already and I was going to incorporate some of the ideas into Parisian Brothel, which is another story I'm writing, very slowly. Most of the ideas you guys asked for is actually taking place in that and I don't want these two stories being the same like that or else I would be telling the same story and that's boring. So I decided to go some place else with it, so I hope you guys like it! Anywho thirdly on with the show! Let me know what you guys think! It's a long one.

Chapter 11 They Thought & Talked

Klaus couldn't bring himself to take another step forward and away from the door. The door Caroline had slammed against his back was pressed into him and his feet remained frozen on the floor. He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth as he began to hear the angel from within tear apart her room. With more need than he'd felt in ages he wanted to go back into the room and make her understand how he wasn't a monster and how he was trying to help her. He would never hurt her. He'd only been good to her so why was she treating him like this? Why couldn't she understand?

When he told her they were leaving he didn't exactly mean it. Granted he had made plans to leave once he had obtained Katerina, but now that she was in the basement with Elijah he could fully concentrate on Caroline and what he needed to do about her.

His first option was to turn her and drag her along with them, but he didn't think she'd be that happy about it and he'd rather her come willingly. The second option was to leave and to forget about her, but somewhere deep within he knew that wasn't really an option. The last option was to stay in Mystic Falls and try to win her over much like he had been doing. Despite the fact she now knew what he was he figured he could still execute his plan of seduction and conquer. Albeit he wanted her in more ways then just a conquest. He didn't like to acknowledge that, but after seeing her bitten by Katerina and her life in danger he couldn't deny any longer how he felt for the human girl. He liked her. Fancied her. He wanted her to be his. He figured eventually he'd tire of her or she would leave, but for the time being he wanted more of Caroline Salvatore.

"What are you doing?"

Klaus blinked and looked up from staring off into space. The distant sounds of Caroline throwing things inside her room was heard.

"Nothing." Klaus said looking over at his sister who stood looking at him oddly. Her hands were on her hips and she was cocking her head at him as if seeing him in a new light.

Then her head snapped to the door behind him as a particularly loud thud was heard from inside.

"I take it things didn't go well." Rebekah asked walking towards him with a smirk.

He shrugged placing his hands behind his back and putting a mask of indifference on.

"It went fine." He said.

She laughed dryly as another loud sound was heard within.

"Fine? So if I went in there and asked Caroline she'd say the same thing?" Rebekah moved to open the door and Klaus grabbed her wrist to stop her.

"Don't." he said looking her in the eye.

Rebekah frowned and shook his hand off of her. "What happened?"

He shrugged and looked away, "She called me a monster. I retaliated and I told her we were leaving." He said.

Rebekah's eyes widened. "She called you a monster?" she asked incredulously.

"But you've never hurt her! I mean sure you were going to seduce her, but you never actually finished! Why would she call you that? And after saving her life! The nerve!" Rebekah said angrily going for the door again to give Caroline a piece of her mind.

"Don't Rebekah." Klaus said grabbing her wrist again to stop her.

Rebekah frowned, "Why didn't you just kill her for saying those things?"

Klaus looked away afraid of the emotions his sister would see if she saw his eyes.

Rebekah narrowed her eyes and smirked, "Do you like her?"

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"So you do like her!"

"Rebekah! I'm not in the mood for your childish games."

"But Nik!" Rebekah whined.

"Rebekah." Klaus growled making Rebekah pout.

"Get the Salvatore brothers we're leaving." Klaus said getting ready to walk away from the room that housed Caroline. He kept telling himself it was worth it that he should leave and forget her. She was a potential weakness and never could she ever care for a monster. She had said so basically, at least that's what he had heard.

"What about Caroline?" Rebekah asked curiously.

"What about her?"

"Well isn't she going to come with us? Why only take her brothers?"

"Because I don't want her to come with us. She's human."

"We can change that and besides I like her. Let's bring her along!" Rebekah exclaimed reaching again for the door. Again Klaus stopped her his grip on her wrist the strongest yet.

She winced.

"Stop! You're hurting me!" Rebekah gasped trying to break free.

"Do not change her. She's…just don't." Klaus snarled and then took a deep breath to calm himself. "She's not coming with us. She deserves…" Klaus trailed off not wanting to finish his thought.

Rebekah watched him interestedly. "Fine. Whatever. But she should come along." Rebekah paused as she massaged her wrist Klaus finally had let go. "Regardless however, the Salvatore brothers are in no shape to move just yet. Damon I think will have the most difficulty with the transition. I think he'll end up being a Ripper. Stefan has taken well to it, except for the memories that came back." Rebekah said dismissively.

"Why do you say that?" Klaus asked curiously.

"Damon feels strongly. I mean look how he feels for the doppleganger bitch. Stefan has had more time to adjust anyway he changed yesterday and only now did Damon finally feed. I gave them both a servant. It should suffice them for now." Rebekah said smiling easily at her brother.

Klaus thoughtfully took in what she said. "I'd watch them carefully still and don't feed them all the servants. The father will be returning soon and if he finds too many of them dead it'll look suspicious."

Rebekah rolled her eyes, "fine. Fine. Whatever." She said.

Klaus smirked, "I'm going to go check on Katerina. Watch the Salvatores and I'll speak with Kol about convincing the witch to make daylight rings." He said before finally leaving the spot he'd been in for longer than he'd ever admit.

Rebekah nodded, "Nik!" she called when he reached the stairs. "Don't give up." She said throwing him a loving smile before he descended the stairs to check on Elijah and Katerina.

Rebekah watched him leave. Her mind began concocting a plan to make her brother and her new friend happy. She saw the look in Nik's eyes even when he'd tried to hide it. He wanted her to come with them he just didn't want to be rejected by her again. She knew how Caroline felt about her brother from their girl talks and by the sound of Caroline destroying her room she'd hazard a guess that they both wanted the other even if they were too stubborn to admit it.

Yes, Rebekah thought gleefully they were not going to leave Mystic Falls without Caroline. She'd make sure of that. It was the only way her moody brother seemed to be happy. She hadn't seen it until he'd saved Caroline from Katerina and despite her warnings to both of them obviously there was something there. She just had to find out what.

Rebekah decided to wait for Caroline to settle down before going to speak with her. So while she waited for the other blonde to stop destroying her room she went back to the large guest bedroom the two Salvatore brothers were currently residing in.

Rebekah had chosen the room furthest from the humans and had compelled all the servants to stay away, except the two she'd deemed worthy enough for dinner. She had also compelled the brothers to not leave the room so she wouldn't have to worry about them killing all the humans in the house. Nik had told her to watch them carefully and she didn't want to disappoint her brother.

She glided into the room a small smile on her face. The room was a guest bedroom so there was a large bed against the wall with a bookshelf and a desk with a chair facing the window. There were also two armchairs in the other corner with a small table in front of them. A small dresser was against the opposite wall that had a few trinkets on it. The room was nice and roomy with a lovely view of the setting sun, something the brothers couldn't see since they didn't have daylight rings yet. She wondered how long it would take the witch to make them or at least be convinced to make them.

Both brothers were pacing the length of the room and looked up immediately as she entered.

"Where's Katherine?" Damon demanded to know.

"What's going on?" Stefan asked at the same time.

Rebekah rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "How about a 'Hello Rebekah it's nice to see you too.'" She said sarcastically.

The brothers looked at her with annoyance on their faces before mumbling a 'hello.'

"Brilliant." Rebekah said sardonically before going further into the room and sitting on the bed.

"Are we allowed to leave this room yet?" Stefan asked the disdain present on his face.

"Let me think…no." Rebekah said smirking at them.

"What's going on with Katherine? Is she ok? Where does that monster have her?" Damon demanded to know.

Rebekah scowled at him, "I'd watch what you say Mr. Salvatore that's my brother you speak of." She snapped.

Damon glared at her, "Where is she?"

Rebekah huffed and got off the bed going to look around the room in vague interest.

"You know the woman that you find so enduring and you claim to love tried to kill your beloved sister. You are aware of this, correct?" Rebekah said glancing over to the brothers.

Stefan watched her move through the room with narrow eyes and Damon looked at her disbelievingly.

"No she wouldn't do that. Katherine was just trying to make her like us, a vampire." Damon said not believing the words that were coming from Rebekah's lips.

"I see…is that what she told you?" Rebekah asked narrowing her eyes at the older brother.

"She didn't tell me anything. I don't even know what the hell is going on." Stefan grumbled sitting on one of the armchairs in the corner.

"She compelled you. It's understandable." Rebekah said looking over at him sympathetically.

"Well she didn't compel me. I guess I could handle the truth." Damon said cockily.

Stefan growled under his breath. "How can you be gloating about knowing the truth when she tried to kill Caroline! She wasn't going to turn her into a vampire. I was there, you weren't." Stefan said getting off the chair and beginning to pace again. He was too angry to just sit down, he had gained his memories back and he remembered how Katherine had treated him and what she'd told him.

"Calm down little brother. Katherine wouldn't hurt someone so dear to us." Damon snapped.

"Yes she would." Rebekah said knowingly.

Both brothers turned to look at her. She smirked at them knowing she knew something they didn't.

"She played you both. It's what she does. She's manipulative and I doubt she cared for either of you honestly." Rebekah said watching their expressions.

"She told me she loved me." Stefan said wanting to argue Rebekah's point, but deep down he knew the truth. Katherine didn't love him she manipulated him to allow her to hide from this man, Klaus. Stefan remembered the man Elijah coming to see her and how he'd made him stare at the wall. He remembered their conversation and how Katherine had acted. He wasn't stupid. He was however confused and hurt by her deception.

"She told you she loved you?" Damon asked incredulously.

There was silence as the two brothers regarded each other. Stefan felt sorry for his older brother and Damon felt his anger rising at the realization he'd been played.

"How could she tell you that? What about me?" Damon asked glaring at his younger brother.

Rebekah looked back and forth between the two. "Don't forget how could she dare try and kill your sister." She said woodenly.

The two looked at her and she gave them a small wave.

"Ms. Mikaelson can you please put me in a different room? I don't think I can stand to look at my brother." Damon said angrily.

Rebekah frowned and opened her mouth to say no when she saw the hurt behind his eyes when he looked over at her. She knew that expression. She'd see in many times especially when she looked at herself in the mirror. Betrayal. She couldn't deny Damon when she knew how he felt.

"Sure." Rebekah said. "But if you try anything I'll rip your heart out and shove it down your throat." She said giving him a charming smile and compelling him to follow her. She decided to put him in his own room despite the fact it was closer to Caroline's. She felt for the older Salvatore so she couldn't deny him despite her better judgment.

Once she left Damon's room she noticed things weren't being thrown around in Caroline's and she decided after checking on Stefan she'd go talk to the girl. She quickly went back to the guest bedroom to see Stefan sitting in the corner on an armchair brooding.

He looked up when she entered.

"Do you think he'll be ok?" Stefan asked quietly.

Rebekah sighed, "The Dopplegangers are very deceptive. I'm sorry if like your brother your heart is broken as well." She said quietly.

Stefan stood up and shook his head. "Anything I felt for her died when she turned me. What she did to Damon and I…and trying to kill Caroline that's not love, Ms. Mikaelson. What she did is unforgiveable." Stefan said running a hand through his hair.

"Can I see Caroline?" he asked quietly wanting to know how his sister was doing after everything.

Rebekah frowned not knowing how she could honestly deny him of seeing his sister. Even though he was a vampire now he needed family. She knew that better than anyone about how important family was after a major transition.

"Let me speak with her first." Rebekah said giving him a pat on the arm and then turning to leave the room. Stefan watched her leave feeling better and worse about the transitions in his life.


Rebekah knocked once on the door to Caroline's room before letting herself in. She found the young blonde sprawled across her bed staring out the window. Rebekah took in the damage of her room with a raised eyebrow seeing clothes everywhere, books on the ground, and various other trinkets in haphazard positions. As far as damage went it wasn't unfixable, but she did notice the smell of blood and the shattered vanity mirror. She walked towards Caroline's bed hesitantly waiting for the girl to look over at her. She didn't and remained in her position looking out the window.

"Come to tell me goodbye?" Caroline whispered her voice hoarse from screaming and crying. She felt numb after the variety of emotions that had coursed through her. She just wanted to forget. She wanted to be whole again.

"No. I came to talk with you. Girl talk." Rebekah said tentatively sitting on the bed.

Caroline finally turned to look at her. Her big blue eyes were rimmed with red and her face was puffy from crying.

"I'm hurt." Caroline whispered staring at Rebekah.

Rebekah felt her heart break for the girl and wanted to wrap her arms around her and hug her, something she'd never wanted to do ever in her life.

"I can smell the blood." Rebekah stated.

Caroline cracked a smile at her, "I mean I hurt. My heart…it hurts. I've never felt this way before. I feel like I'm broken." Caroline whispered staring at Rebekah. Then suddenly she looked away and let out a breathy laugh.

"You warned me. God! You seriously warned me and I just…blew you off. I should've listened. I deserve a I told you so." Caroline said feeling angry at herself.

"I'm not going to tell you I told you so, Caroline." Rebekah said watching as the girl wrapped her arms around herself.

"What did you want to talk about then?" Caroline asked bitterly.

"I wanted to know how you feel about my brother." Rebekah stated watching Caroline turn away from her hiding the emotions in her eyes, much like Klaus had done. Rebekah smirked to herself thinking how alike they really were.

"I don't feel anything for your brother." Caroline said stubbornly.

Rebekah's smirk widened, "Really? Because I remember—"

"Fine! Whatever! I liked him. He was charming and handsome and amazing and he treated me incredibly! And I liked him ok! Yes! I had feelings for your brother, but I don't! Not anymore! Not after everything he's done." Caroline blurted out.

Rebekah frowned, "what he's done? Caroline, he hasn't done anything to you."

"But I saw what he did to Katherine and I saw how he attacked—"

"But did he do those things to you? Did he attack you?"

Caroline shook her head reluctantly.

"And lets me honest, just us girls. Do you really care about Katherine?"

Caroline smiled slightly and shook her head.

"Good now that that's settled how do you feel about my brother?" Rebekah asked brushing away the little things to get to the meat of the conversation.

"I just told you."

"Yes, but that was all in past tense. Tell me how you feel for him now." Rebekah said smartly.

Caroline rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "I might…still like him."

"Even if you claim that he's a monster?" Rebekah asked smirking at her.

Caroline looked at her for a long minute and then nodded. "Perhaps. Although I don't know how we would work. He's a vampire and I'm…only human. Besides how do I know he actually likes me? How do I know I wasn't just a game? Or a conquest." Caroline whispered the idea of only being a conquest making her stomach twist in disgust and fear.

"Sometimes we just have to take a chance." Rebekah said shrugging.

"But—" Caroline began.

"But nothing. Talk to him again and see what happens. My brother is a complicated man and sometimes he needs a lot of persuading, but he's a good man and when he cares about someone he really cares. Talk to him, Caroline." Rebekah urged.

Caroline nodded slowly, "fine. When do you guys leave?"

Rebekah shrugged, "I may have bought you some time."

Caroline smiled, "Thanks."

"Don't thank me. Just do it."

Caroline laughed and nodded.

"By the way Stefan wants to talk to you. Are you good enough to talk?" Rebakah asked almost forgetting about Stefan.

Caroline nodded, "sure but let me clean myself up. I was going to grab something to eat. Can you send him downstairs in like ten minutes?" she asked.

Rebekah nodded and without warning pulled Caroline into a gentle hug. Caroline surprised at first wrapped her arms around the Original and squeezed. They broke apart awkwardly after a couple of minutes and then Rebekah left as Caroline wrapped her hand in some cloth and then went down to the kitchen hungry after the trying events of the last twenty four hours.


Caroline was chopping vegetables for a small salad when Stefan came into the kitchen a hesitant smile on his face.

"Hey Carebear." He said watching as she cut the vegetables.

"Hey." She said glancing up to look at her brother.

"You could have one of the servants do that you know."

"I don't know where they've all gone. It's like they disappeared." Caroline said shrugging.

"Weird."

There was silence as Caroline chopped and Stefan watched.

"I wanted to apologize for Katherine, Care." Stefan said suddenly.

Caroline nodded slowly not knowing what to say.

"I know she tried to kill you and I just want to apologize for letting her into our house."

Caroline sighed, "you didn't know."

"I didn't. She compelled me." He said apologetically.

"It's fine, Stefan."

"No it's not, Care. Damon and I…we're like this forever all because we let this manipulative woman into our house. It's all my fault."

"Stefan, really it's not anyone's fault no one knew."

Stefan stared at her amazed by her forgiveness.

"You're amazing, Care you know that."

"I have to be with two boneheaded brothers."

They laughed together enjoying each others' company. It had felt like forever since they'd just laughed and talked. Caroline missed her brother. She missed being able to talk to him without Katherine lurking or him having a vague indifferent expression on. She missed how they used to be and craved the feeling of normalcy that they were having, just sitting in the kitchen making dinner and talking. It reminded her of how everything had changed so much in just a short amount of time from when Katherine appeared.

Caroline's mind drifted off to a vague memory of her brothers and her at one of the town events playing pranks on the townspeople and just enjoying their time together. She felt melancholy for what they had and she wished that they would spend more time together. Her mind was so far away she didn't notice where the knife was until it was too late.

Stefan was about to tell her that him and Damon were going to leave with the Mikaelson's when Caroline accidentally slit her finger open with the knife. Suddenly the delicious and addictive smell of blood hit Stefan's nostrils.

"Oh shoot." Caroline said looking at her finger not noticing Stefan's sudden reaction to it.

He groaned trying to fight the sudden hunger and he tried to back away, but his instincts were too strong and all he could think was blood. All he could see was the blood and all he wanted was blood.

Before Caroline could even move Stefan was on her like bread on butter. She screamed as he bit into her neck and began to drain the blood from her body. She tried to jerk away but he was stronger then her and just pushed her against the wall so she was trapped. Her body began to weaken from blood loss and her vision blurred. She felt faint when suddenly Stefan was ripped from her neck and thrown across the room. Caroline slumped against the wall and put a hand to her neck to stop the blood from pouring out. She looked up slowly and met Klaus's gaze as he took in her weakened state. Then she turned to Stefan who was in the corner gazing at her with such guilt her heart ached.

"I'm so sorry. Please Caroline! I'm so sorry. So sorry." Stefan rambled as he saw his sister and the damage he'd done. He was about to go towards her but there was a blur of movement and Rebekah slammed him against the wall.

Klaus glowered at his sister before stepping closer to Caroline. He held up his wrist and bit into it before offering it to her. Caroline looked at him with glazed over eyes not sure what to do.

"Drink sweetheart." He said pushing his wrist in front of her face.

"Why?" she asked as the blood poured from her neck. She grabbed on to his shoulder to keep her steady. He narrowed his eyes at her annoyed she wasn't doing as he asked.

"Just drink." He repeated pushing his wrist closer to her.

She looked at him for a minute before lowering her mouth to his wrist. Her soft pink lips touched his skin and he had to withhold a shiver at the intimate contact. She began to suck lightly at his wrist and he wrapped his other arm around her waist keeping her steady. He watched her for several minutes aroused by the sight of her drinking from him before he turned to his sister.

"I thought I told you to keep him away from everyone." He snarled annoyed that Rebekah had disobeyed him.

She scowled at him, "he wanted to talk to her. Who was I to tell him that he couldn't see his family." She snapped angrily.

He opened his mouth to respond when suddenly Kol burst into the room a worried expression on his face. Worry and Kol generally didn't go in the same sentence so Klaus knew something dangerous was happening.

"What's wrong?" Klaus asked gently prying Caroline from his arm. She wiped her mouth and looked away from him feeling embarrassed. He gazed at her for a moment willing her to look at him before turning his attention to Kol.

"We've got company." Kol said as Bonnie joined them in the kitchen. She hurriedly ran to Caroline worry etched in her face.

"Caroline are you—" Bonnie began but she never finished her sentence before there was a loud crash in the front room and suddenly a blast of fire was thrown through the window and landed in the kitchen alerting the human, vampires, and witch to the trouble that awaited them outside.

(A/n: So what did you guys think?! Next up will be who is outside waiting for them. Also some kennett and Klaroline of course and possible Kalijah along some surprises.)
