A/N: Wow. I am awful. I haven't updated in months! I'm so sorry! Thank you to the guest reviewer that reminded me of this story! It's been a crazy summer guys so here it goes! I don't want to keep y'all waiting any longer though! You need to read the previous chapter to understand this one.

Three weeks later

"Niklaus…you have to go home and rest. You haven't left the hospital in days." Rebekah said softly. Her heart broke seeing her brother like this. He had never been one for affection, but somehow Caroline seemed to bring it out of him

"I've already told you-"Klaus started.

"Yes I know. Not until she wakes up. But Nik, what if she-"Rebekah tried.

"If you finish that sentence I will never speak to you again." Klaus threatened. He was currently in a chair beside Caroline's hospital bed. He looked up at Rebekah who stood by the door.

"Brother, you need to prepare for the worst." Rebekah said. "You've heard what the doctors have said." She reminded him sadly.

"Rebekah…I can't. I can't lose her, you don't understand. She's going to pull through. We just have to wait." Klaus said returning his attention back to the love of his life in the bed. Suddenly alarms started going off and doctors were rushing in. Klaus sprung from the chair.

"What's happening?!" He screamed as he was being pushed out of the room.

"Sir you're going to have to leave the room." A nurse said quickly. The door was shut in his face and he slammed his fist in the wall.

"Fuck." He yelled out of frustration. He felt a friendly hand on his shoulder.

"Niklaus."

"Elijah, I'm not leaving." He told his brother.

"I know. I was going to suggest that you go get some air. I will remain here with her." Elijah said calmly. Klaus glared at his brother and that at his now quiet sister before storming off.

"Elijah what are we going to do?" Rebekah whispered.

"We're going to be there for our brother. No matter what." Elijah reminded her. Suddenly he got an idea. "Stay here, I'll return shortly."

"Kol why do bad things always happen to our family?" Klaus asked his brother. Kol let out a small laugh.

"Bad things happen to bad people. We will never get to be happy brother." Kol told him.

"She didn't deserve this. We don't even know what they wanted"

"I know, Nik. I know." Kol said quietly.

"I'm going to kill them. All of them." Klaus swore.

"Not so quick Klaus, I have some information that could be useful." A woman's voice interrupted.

"Katherine I'm not in the mood for your games. What do you know?" Klaus threated her stepping closer.

"Easy Klaus. You know what Elijah would do if you laid a hand on her." Kol cautioned him.

"Of course he does, that's why he's going to take a step back." Their older brother chimed in. Klaus took a deep breath glared at the lot of them before walking off.

"Katherine did you find it?" Elijah asked the brunette. Katherine smirked.

"Of course I did. But don't you think you should let Klaus know?"

"Let Klaus know what?" Kol butted in. "What are you up to, Elijah?" Kol asked with raised eyebrows.

Elijah motioned for his brother to follow him.

"It occurred to me that we have the ability to tap into Giuseppe's security camera. Once we did that Katherine was able to locate the footage for Caroline's capture and shall we say torture." Elijah told him.

"Bloody hell. Did you watch it yet?" Kol asked with an exasperated expression.

"I was just about to, alongside Katherine. Would you mind accompanying her in my place? I need to discuss this with Niklaus."

"Do you really think that's the best idea? He might just go on a killing spree." Katherine reminded the two boys.

"Yes I know. That's what I'm planning for. I want you to see how bad it really is so we can prepare for the worst."

"As you wish." Kol agreed, walking off with Katherine.

"Are you sure?" Rebekah asked quickly. "Everything's fine?" She asked again.

The nurse smiled. "You can go see her for yourself."

Rebekah walked in slowly and her eyes went wide when she saw the blonde sitting up. "Oh my god, Caroline."

"Rebekah." Caroline whispered. Rebekah looked so relieved.

"I can't believe you're alive. I'm so so sorry. It's all my fault, I was supposed to watch out for you." Rebekah rushed over to her.

"It's not your fault. It's all on me." Caroline said quietly. Rebekah looked at her strangely before Klaus came rushing in.

"Caroline."

"I'll leave you two alone. I'll come back later, okay?" Rebekah asked her. She left once Caroline nodded in her direction.

Klaus came and held Caroline's hand, sitting beside the bed. "I can't believe you're awake. They doctors said they didn't think you would make it. But I knew you would. You are strong. I love you." Klaus said. Caroline gave him a small smile. Klaus looked at her.

"Caroline? Love what's wrong?"

"Nik. I can't do this anymore." She whispered.

Nik didn't let go of her hand. "Caroline, you've barley awoken. We'll just wait till we get you home and-"

Caroline pulled her hand away. "No Nik. You don't understand. We can't be together. It's never going to work. I'm tired, will you please leave now?" Nik dropped her hand and stood.

"You're right, I don't understand. What happened?" Klaus started to raise his voice.

"Nik please. You're just making this harder. Please leave, I'm begging you." Caroline spoke with tears in her eyes. Klaus looked at her like she was crazy. But not wanting to upset her any further he left without another word. He shut the door and motioned Rebekah to follow him.

"Nikalus? What's wrong? What happened?" Rebekah asked running after her brother.

"That's precisely what I am going to find out." He pulled his cell phone out as he exited the hospital. "Elijah. Yes? What? That explains a whole bloody lot. I'll be there shortly."

"Rebekah, can you keep an eye on Caroline? Don't let her know you're there though. Promise me." Klaus looked at his sister who looked at him like he was crazy.

"Niklaus what the hell is going on?"

"Caroline is trying to protect us from something, I need to go figure exactly who is doing this." Klaus looked at his sister then down at his cellphone. "Just watch her. Make sure she doesn't leave."

Rebekah nodded. "Let me know what happens."
