"Where could he have possibly gone to?" Caroline muttered when she finally calmed down.

"I have no idea. I've been literally searching EVERYWHERE for hours and hours," Kol said. Caroline bit her lip in worry. Where was he? She knew that he wouldn't run away or anything. He must be lost somewhere either in the battlefield or the woods. He must be injured.

"I hope he's not dead," Kol said, clearly worried about his brother. Caroline shook her head. If Klaus were dead, that would change the future. She would never be able to come here and none of this would have happened. He couldn't be dead. Unless something Caroline did right now saved him…

"We have to go look for him," Caroline declared after a few minutes of silence. Kol looked at her in shock.

"Caroline, you may not know this, but the woods here are full of dangerous creatures. Wolves, gypsy witches, and all sorts of crazy people live in these woods.

"That is one more reason why we NEED to go, Kol. If Klaus were injured in the woods, he wouldn't be able to heal immediately. We can't leave him alone!" The thought of Klaus, hurt, lying in the woods with dangerous creatures lurking about made Caroline's stomach start churning. They had to hurry.

"Alright. No one knows about this, okay?" Caroline nodded. It wasn't like there was anyone to tell. Thankfully, the head nurse was unconscious and all the nurses were so busy that no one would notice Caroline was gone.

"Pack lightly. We leave in ten minutes," Kol said before running off.

Caroline rushed inside her tent as well. She took a small brown bag made of rough fabric. Her hands trembled as they moved across the bed, stuffing clothes inside the small bag. She ran outside again with her bag to the medical supply room. She grabbed a first aid kit and a few blood bags. She carefully set the blood into the bag and held the metal box in the other hand. She hoped they would come in handy. She swung the brown bag over her shoulders. Caroline rushed to the kitchen and stuffed a few loaves of bread, water and cheese. Her bag was now full. She quietly made her way to where Kol told her to be. She took a deep breath as she ran forward.

Caroline stopped in her tracks when she saw Kol standing next to Victoria, an annoyed and strained expression on his face. Caroline raised her eyebrow at him, waiting for an explanation.

"Apparently she heard a bit of our conversation. She wants to tag along," Kol said in an irritated voice.

"Victoria, we appreciate your concern, but this is really not the time. We need to hurry," Caroline explained. They couldn't be delayed because of a human.

"I know that you guys are vampires," Victoria blurted. This got Kol and Caroline's attention.

"What? How?" Caroline spluttered out in shock. Did she know ever since she met them? How could she have possibly known?

"I heard stories of them when I was a young girl. I knew that you guys were vampires when I realized the blood bags in the medical supply room were going missing, and you constantly went outside at midnight, not saying why," Victoria explained.

"Victoria, you can easily die out there. We can't take you with us," Caroline said almost in a pleading voice. What couldn't Victoria understand this?

"Let's just compel her and get it over with," Kol said angrily.

"I'm on vervain," Victoria said quickly before Kol could take another step towards her.

"I already packed my bags and you're just wasting your time by standing here, making decisions," Victoria continued.

"But why?!" Caroline asked. Why did Victoria want to go?

"I have my reasons," Victoria replied simply.

"Let's just go," Kol said, walking over to the fence. He was getting angry now. They had lost already 5 minutes talking to this stupid human who thought she could survive dangerous vampires, werewolves and witches.

Caroline and Victoria ran as fast and quietly as they could to catch up with Kol. It was difficult, though. It was so dark that even with their vampire abilities they could barely see anything.

Victoria kept tripping on tree roots, which caused Kol to get impatient every second. They had been walking for about 20 minutes yet they heard nothing or saw nothing. It was dead quiet, except for the occasional hooting sounds of owls or howls of wolves.

"This is hopeless," Caroline whispered, knowing Kol could hear her.

"The human is slowing us down," Kol hissed quietly in response. Caroline shook her head.

"Be nice, Kol."

"I'll try, but it's going to be hard."

Almost half an hour had passed. It was still pitch dark. There were no signs of hope anywhere. They had been walking for a long time. Caroline knew they were far from the campsite. She could almost smell the blood that was released from the soldiers that fought a few hours ago. It was getting stronger with every step.

"We have to split up," Kol whispered. Even Victoria heard what Kol said this time. Both girls looked at Kol in horror and disbelief.

"It's so dangerous out here!" Caroline hissed.

"Well, Klaus is probably hurt and is alone. This is taking too long. We are immortal anyways, why not split up?" Kol shrugged.

Caroline bit her lip, deep in thought. He was sort of right. Klaus needed help, quick. Yet Caroline knew that if a werewolf bit her, she would die. Would she risk it?

"I'll go to the right with Victoria. Caroline, you go to the left," Kol ordered.

"I thought you hated me," Victoria said, rolling her eyes.

"I can guarantee more safety for you, but if you want to go with Caroline, be my guest," Kol sneered as he started walking. Victoria didn't reply but instead gave Caroline a small smile as she followed Kol.

Caroline felt the fear return when Kol and Victoria were out of sight. It was scary to be alone in the darkness. She took a deep breath as she continued to inch forward.

Do this for Klaus, do this for Klaus. He saved your life so many times; you can do this for him as well.

Caroline felt her throat go dry and her feet starting to ache. She wanted to stop walking but pushed her legs further.

I can do this. I can. I can.

Who am I kidding? This is tiring.

Klaus has a thousand years on me, he's an original, and he never gets tired. I'm just a newbie.

Millions of thoughts kept pushing and pulling in Caroline's head, some positive and some negative. It was like having a mini-war inside her head. She sighed and decided to take a break. Caroline carefully made her way to a tree and slid down to the floor. She closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep when the sound of breathing woke her up.

"Klaus?" Caroline whispered. She really hoped it wasn't some weird creature that would be creepily breathing near her.

There was no reply.

The breathing sound got louder and quicker, it was as if the person or thing had trouble breathing. Cautiously, Caroline stood up. She took a wooden stick to use as a weapon (even though she knew that the best she could do with it was probably thwack at the enemy). She inched forward slowly. Her feet kicked something soft and strange: something that didn't belong in the woods.

Caroline knelt down to see what it was. A surprised gasp left her throat when she saw it as Klaus. His eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he was lying on the dirty ground. His body was covered in dirt and mud, his face dotted with beads of sweat. There were no signs of injuries anywhere.

"Klaus, Klaus," Caroline whispered as she lightly shook him. There was no response. Caroline's heartbeat quickened. She didn't know what to do. Kol and Victoria were probably too far to hear Caroline's calls. It was her turn to do something.

Caroline took out some blood bags from her bag and put it against Klaus' lips. There was still not reaction. Caroline looked around the woods, anxiously. She threw the blood bags back inside her small bag. The metal first-aid kid box was too heavy so instead of taking it, she took out some of the most important medicines and some bandages and stuffed it in her bag.

It took all her strength to lift Klaus up onto her back. Even though she was already tired, she knew she couldn't just leave him out in the dark. She carried the small bag between her teeth. Her two hands were occupied already.

Caroline's eyes clenched in pain and fatigue as she took a few steps forward. She couldn't stop, though. She couldn't. Little beads of tears came out from the corner of her eyes.

How many minutes had it been? 20? 30? Caroline didn't know where she was heading. She just kept walking and walking.

Caroline saw a small ball of light only a few meters ahead of her. At first she thought of running away from it but then realized she wouldn't be able to with Klaus on her back. She started making her way towards the fire.

When Caroline approached the fire she realized that a gypsy witch was probably living here. There were potions and books scattered in a few areas. Yet there was no one.

"Who's there?" a voice called from the trees.

"It is a nurse with a sick patient," Caroline called out. She couldn't just say that they were vampires. What if they weren't witches and just humans?

"Vampires?" Oh. Never mind then, thought Caroline.

"Yes," Caroline replied. A shadowy figure stepped out from the tree that stood next to Caroline.

"You—Caroline and Klaus!" The fire and moonlight reflected against the man's face. Caroline's eyes widened in shock. It was Acaeus. Of course.

"I thought I told you twice to disappear and never come back!" he hissed as he took Klaus off Caroline's back. She felt her body slump down from tiredness.

"I can't help it, okay?" Caroline said. "Plus I think you should be more concerned about Klaus than me right now. I'll leave soon anyways," Caroline spat. She was just so tired that she didn't want to have any arguments. She could see Acaeus' eyes darken dangerously but then look concerned at the pale body on the ground.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I don't know. I just found him like this," Caroline replied. She heard a small sigh escape Acaeus.

"I'll be back in five minutes," Acaeus said as he made his way to the tent, a few thick books in his arms. Caroline saw this as her chance to say goodbye to Klaus. She knew she had to go soon now that Acaeus was here and her month here was nearly up.

She took a deep breath as her face drew nearer to his. It was so quiet. The air was so still that Caroline swore time froze for a second. Her hands trapped the few sweat beads that ran down his pale face. Caroline closed her eyes slightly and pressed her lips against his.

Klaus' eyes fluttered open. He said no words. His body seemed lifeless, only his eyes were opened, blinking, staring into Caroline's blue eyes. It reminded her so much of that day… when he lay in the coffin, lifeless but blinking.

Caroline carefully took off her necklace and his. She hung the key with the devil horns around her neck. Caroline put her necklace with angel wings tightly in Klaus' fists. Little drops of tears started to fall and slid down her cheeks.

Klaus POV

The whole world was black. What was happening? He couldn't remember anything. When he had woken up, he saw a beautiful angel fly down to him in the darkness. Sadness in her eyes, she looked like she was crying. Klaus watched as she pressed her lips against his. He saw bits of cut scenes flash in front of him. He was swimming in a lake with a blonde woman, laughing. Klaus saw himself dancing with the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

Klaus blinked, not sure what had just happened. His eyes met the blue that were only a few inches away from him. This girl…she looked so familiar. Klaus watched her as she took her necklace off and grip it tightly in his fists. She leaned in close until her lips brushed his ears.

"We'll find each other one day," she whispered.

His eyes followed the figure. She slowly stood up. She gave him a small smile. He could see that she was trying hard not to cry freely. The next thing he knew, she was gone.

No. Please don't go. Please don't leave me alone.

"Go on, drink this," the figure said. Klaus felt the man carefully tilt the bag of liquid. The liquid slid down his throat. It felt warm.

Then Klaus blacked out once again.

It felt weird to write this chapter. I felt emotional as well, as if I were Caroline/Klaus myself.

New chapter coming soon!
