Hi guys.

I just want to clear up that there was no rape in this story. Caroline has never been through physical abuse. I hope this clears up any worries by you all. I'm excited for this chapter because ulterior motives are explored and things are heating up. Maybe not in a good way :/

I got another 16 reviews after posting the last chapter, I am very grateful to all off you and thankful for you continuous support. I love your insight and speculation.

Again thanks to myscyanide for going over this chapter and making all the necessary corrections and changing sentences that didn't flow or word right.

I made a cover photo for this story but unfortunately it's too big for this. So I posted it on my Tumblr which is ReadingLove13 . If you guys want to check it out that is.

I hope you all like this chapter.

Previously on Dangerous, Deadly and Deathly Love-After a night of reflection Caroline returns to the flat and faces a very annoyed Kol and Klaus. There was a flashback to a small conversation between Caroline and her Mother. Apologies are made and everything seems to be just fine for the moment.

Chapter 10: Date Night

It was Monday morning and I was sat in Psychology resting my head on my forearm. I needed a job, and I had done absolutely nothing to find one, as though it was so unimportant that I had forgotten - I wanted to kick myself. for just remembering. I should have sorted it out weeks ago; this is exactly what happens when you lose focus on what you are meant to be doing.

I had the horrible feeling that I might have left it too late; I really don't know what do. MaybeI could go to administrations building and see if there are any openings on campus; which is highly unlikely considering college already started a while back. There's normally a waiting list months prior to the start of the semester. Still, I might get lucky.

"Morning love;" came a deep voice, a deep British voice was easily identifiable as Klaus'.

Rebekah had bailed on this lesson, so I was sitting by myself.

I jerked my head up and twisted around. Klaus had slipped into the seat beside me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked incredulous.

"This is psychology," he glanced around the class. "Is it not?"

"You don't take psychology."

"I had a sudden surge of…" he glanced around the room, "inspiration." His eyes travelled back and captured mine.

Klaus could sell snow to Eskimo's, I almost believed him.

"Why does do I get the impression this sudden 'inspiration' make me think it has nothing to do with psychology," I raised my eyebrows.

"Because it doesn't," he paused and leaned back in the chair, lifting his feet onto the desk. "Go out with me?"

I dropped the pen I'd been holding; we stared at each other in silence for a while. "No." I said.

I didn't mean to be quite so blunt but the answer remained the same.

His face didn't change, he stayed impassive. "I thought you would say that; how about as friends?"

I hesitated, "I'm not sure."

Klaus swung his feet off the desk and leaned towards me until his lips were a breath from my ear, "please, just out for dinner that's all." He leaned back and lifted his hands up in front of him. "I promise I won't do anything else."

I searched in my bag until I found my notepad, "no because I know all too well what goes on in that little perverted head of yours." Professor Reynolds entered the class and everyone stopped talking.

"Go out with me," Klaus stated more than asked.

I shook my head and sighed.

"The different states of consciousness are..." Professor Reynolds started to explain after he had greeted the class.

Klaus interrupted, "have I offended you in any way?"

"No."

"Have you ever walked into a room or opened the refrigerator, only to forget what it was you were seeking?" Professor Reynolds said.

"Are you sure?" Klaus whispered.

Professor Reynolds went on to say, "You go through the motions, but your mind, your ego, is occupied with other things. Hence, you are in waking sleep."

"Stop ignoring me sweetheart,"

I snapped my head towards Klaus, suddenly infuriated with his constant interruptions. "I am trying to learn will you shut up!" I shouted.

Oh god.

Everyone in the class turned to face me I internally cursed myself at my outburst. I wanted to run. Run as fast as my legs would let me.

"You're not in my class," the professor said looking at Klaus.

Klaus smirked, "I know."

"I think you need to leave," he said waving towards the door.

"I'll go, only if dear Caroline here agrees to go out with me tonight."

Swallow me up, I begged.

I put my notebook up in front of my face, knowing full well the blush that would be there.

Everyone was waiting for an answer, including my professor it seemed. I was secretly hoping he would kick Klaus out before I had to answer.

Picking my dignity off of the floor I lowered my note pad, "if I say yes, will you actually leave?"

He seemed to consider for a moment before nodding, "yes."

"Then I will go out with you."

He smiled.

"Only as friends Klaus," I clarified.

"As friends," he agreed and leaned back into me, "I'll see you tonight." He kissed my cheek then swung himself over the desk and left.

"Great now that that's all settled, let's continue," the professor said.

I pulled my phone out and typed out a new message.

'Stop bailing on me. Every time you do, your brother shows up. C'

By the time classes had finished I had stopped by the administrations building and put my name on a waiting list of job opportunities. Klaus had texted me earlier to telling me to meet him at six at the pavilion. It was already after five, so I decided against changing. I was wearing skinny jeans and a white top with a black blazer. It would do for a friends date, because that is all it is. Nothing more and I will make that perfectly clear.

I arrived at the restaurant a little after six, Klaus was waiting for me. After placing my order, I scanned the room, noticing the staring glances shifting gazes of other students clearly as interested in the surrounding patrons as they were their meals, the parents trying to encourage their children to eat and lastly the couples who couldn't keep their eyes of each other.

"Do you want anything else?" the waitress asked.

Klaus shook his head, "Caroline?"

I smiled at the waitress, "No thanks."

"Okay, I'll bring your drinks along in a minute." She scurried off towards the bar.

Klaus's attention was on his phone and I found myself playing with the napkin rack.

After a moment Klaus leaned over the table, "so what's your story? Do you hate most men in general or is it just me, because you're different, you're not on your knees in front of me?"

"I know your type, you sail through life getting everything handed to you on a silver platter. Life doesn't work that way. Your spoiled and big headed." I sighed, "I didn't mean it like that."

"Can we just be friends?" he asked.

The waitress returned with our drinks.

"Okay, we can be friends. I am not going to have sex with you though!"

"I got it the first time sweetheart," he smirked.

I rested my elbows on the table and leaned into them, "what's your story then?" I sipped my drink. "Family wise, I mean."

His facial expression hardened at the mention off family, "there's not much to tell really. Rebekah would have filled you in,"

I couldn't help but imagine my answer would be similar; it was far too painful to drag up the past. "She mentioned you all lived with your parents."

"My mom and her husband."

"Where was your dad?"

"With some whore raising another family," he said coldly.

I shook my head, "I'm sorry." His answer had caught me off guard.

He dismissed my sympathy, "I don't have contact with him. I do with my half-brother buts he's allot older than me. Although I would prefer not to talk about him though."

From there our conversation moved to more mild mannered things and I found myself relaxing. When we were eating our meals Klaus phone buzzed, he offered a quick apology as he typed an answering text, but shortly it buzzed again and he cursed under his breath. A few minutes, and texts later, he stood up and placed a wad of cash on the table.

I looked up at him confused.

"I'm sorry. I have to go; something important came up. I'll see you at the apartment." And with that, he left.

I was stunned. We had finally started talking about normal things, like high school pranks, games and lectures. Then he became reserved after the texts started flowing in until they were constant and that's when he had taken off.

What had been so important?

He had put so much effort into getting me here, I couldn't help but annoyed and irritated by this.

Not wanting to finish my meal I grabbed my stuff and left. Walking along the pavement towards my car I stopped when I heard Klaus' voice raised in anger.

"You're going keep your fucking mouth closed, do you understand?" Klaus yelled his tone laced with incomprehensible rage. There's a loud bang then a crack, it sounded as if bones were breaking. "He is my brother. Family comes first."

My heart rate sped up and I started to shake. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know where to look.

"I can't lie to Rebekah, she deserves the truth," another male said.

"He means nothing to her. Do you honestly think she would stand by me?," Klaus seethed.

I turned round just in time to see Klaus' fist smash into Matt's face. I shrieked and covered my mouth with my hands. Tears formed in my eyes. Blood spattered across the wall. Klaus didn't seem inclined to stop when Matt hit the ground, he continued to kick Matt in his abdomen.

I had to stop this, i had to intervene somehow. Before I could stop myself or even plan what i was going to say, I ran over to them. "Klaus stop!" I shouted.

He reeled round and face me, his face was covered in matt's blood. His teeth gritted together, rage evident in his expression. he wasn't the Klaus I had grown to learn, he was someone else completely.

I took a step back afraid. "Leave him alone." Even though i had attempted to make myself sound authoritative my tone was shaky.

"Now why would I do that love?" he asked.

I pulled my phone from my bag, "because if you don't," I shook the phone in front of his face, "I'm calling the police."

I wasn't sure what I was actually trying to do or what I even could do, but what Klaus was doing…there was no justifying it.

Matt spluttered blood on the ground while cradling his stomach, "I'm okay Caroline."

"Are you insane? You're hurt!" I shouted.

Matt's left eye was swollen shut already with an impending bruising, and his lip was ruptured.

Klaus walked towards me, "everything is okay love, go home. I'll be there soon."

He reached his hand up to my hair, his knuckles were dusted with blood, I ducked away.

"Klaus I'm serious. Stay away from him, leave now!"

Klaus opened and closed his mouth, and then he stormed off towards his car. "Stay out of my fucking business Matt," he seethed.

When Klaus was out of view, I kneeled down beside Matt.

Matt took a sharp breath when I touched his face, "what did you do that for?"

Seriously? "I was trying to help you."

Matt tried to stand but almost fell. I gave him my arm to help steady him.

"I deserved that Caroline. This never happened okay?"

"Matt," I tried.

"Please, this didn't happen - for all our sakes. You shouldn't be here Caroline, you need to stay out of this."

Before I could ask him to expand he was already limping away.

Over on the other side of the parking lot.

"It's done; he won't be a problem any more. I will fix this, okay?" Klaus said into the phone.

"Good because little brother, they ruined my life and I want to ruin theirs," Another voice said laced with venom.

Next on Dangerous, Deadly and Deathly Love- Caroline makes a phone call to someone in mystic falls and they have a heart to heart. Then she returns to the apartment, where there is a confrontation between Klaus, Rebekah and herself.

Chapter 11 should be up by Sunday/Monday.
