Klaus POV

Klaus drove home after dropping Caroline at home; he was going to fly to the Appalachian Mountains tonight so he could make it back sooner, he didn't want to leave Caroline, he had just got her and didn't want to spend anytime away from her. He packed a bag and found Rebekah sat in the kitchen reading a fashion magazine,

"Bekah I have to go and sort out a hybrid problem in the Appalachian Mountains, I have my cell although it might not get a signal, and I won't be longer than 2 days though, so stay out of trouble while I'm gone"

"Nik I'm not looking for trouble, I can take care of myself"

With that he left, the flight didn't take long but he spent the 5 hours thinking about Caroline and how he couldn't wait to have her in his arms again, he missed her, he loved this blond vampire more than he had ever loved anyone in his life, even Tatia, he couldn't believe this baby vampire had made him reconsider all the things he had believed over his lifetime, the main one being 'Love is a vampires greatest weakness' he never thought he would go and fall in love but here he is, unable to stop thinking about the woman who has his heart.

He began his trek through the Mountains straight away, he wanted this over and done with, he knew where the base was for his hybrids and it didn't take him long to find using his hybrid speed, he found the camp empty, there was food and water bottles laying around tents which were empty, he had told them all not to leave this camp unless he told them to, which meant one thing, they were all un sired. Why the hell would Daniel call and tell him about Lockwood if he was un sired? This made no sense, Klaus searched the camp for a while, it was fairly big seen as though it was housing 8 hybrids, none of which were here.

Klaus was furious, he went around the camp ripping up the tents and growling, he needed to find his pack and sort this problem out.

Caroline POV

Caroline woke up happy; she was ready for a girl's day getting to know Rebekah.

Knowing Rebekah always liked to look like a model Caroline dressed to look her best, wearing a light coloured skirt and vest top with heeled boots, she had curled her hair and was ready to go.

When Caroline arrived at the mansion she felt like she could just let herself in and if she was here visiting Klaus she probably would but she didn't want to seem rude in front of Rebekah so she knocked, the blond original opened the door as soon as Caroline had knocked, she was wearing pink skinny jeans and a white shirt with a denim jacket, she really did look like a model.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah sure, let's go shopping"

"I was thinking we could go to the mall just outside of town, it has more shops and it's bigger"

"Sounds good"

On the way to the mall the car was silent apart from the radio which was playing, Caroline didn't really know what to say to Rebekah now they were alone, they had never really spent more than 2 minutes in each others company before,

"Why did you invite me shopping with you Caroline?"

Rebekah's question had snapped Caroline out of her day dream as she thought how to answer

"I wanted to get to know you, I know we haven't gotten on in the past and i'm guessing that's mostly down to me being Elena's friend, but I figured we had a lot in common plus now i'm dating your brother, I guess were going to be seeing a lot more of each other"

"You are officially dating now then?"

"Yep"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Nik found someone, it's been long enough but i'm surprised he chose you to finally feel something for"

"I'm surprised me to, I mean sometimes I still can't believe it"

"You know, I don't mind you but if you hurt my brother I will rip your heart out without a second thought"

"I won't hurt him; I would never want to hurt Klaus"

Rebekah just looked out of the window for the rest of the journey leaving Caroline to think about their conversation, she knew Rebekah cared a lot for her brother, she had lived with him for so long so she wasn't surprised she was protecting him, and Caroline didn't doubt that she would kill her if she hurt Klaus, she had to admit she was a little intimidated by Rebekah.

At the mall the two girls went through a few stores barely speaking to each other, Caroline realised this girls day wasn't going to be as easy as she thought it would be, eventually they went into a shoe store,

"What do you think of these Rebekah?"

Caroline showed off the heels she was trying on, purple with gold trailing down the heel,

"I like them, but I prefer the red"

"I love these, red really suits you, try them ones on over there they would look so good with your outfit today"

Caroline pointed to beige coloured heels with silver studs at the back, Rebekah smiled as she tried them on and modelled them. The girls smiled as they suggested different pairs of shoes to each other to try on, they spent over an hour in the shop and eventually they both left the store holding multiple bags with new pairs of heels in each.

"Want to go get a coffee?"

"Yeah, Starbucks?"

"Sounds perfect"

They sat in the coffee shop with their drinks and their conversations seemed to flow easier, Caroline should have known shoes would be the answer to helping them bond, new shoes fixed everything

"So you used to date Matt didn't you?"

Caroline chuckled at Rebekah's question; she knew the girl liked Matt

"Yeah, it was a long time ago, we got together when I was still human but it didn't work out, I transitioned and he found out, it took him a while to adjust and things just wasn't the same so we decided we were better off as friends, he's like one of my best friends now, you like him don't you"

"He's cute, I've never really spoke to him"

"I can introduce you to him if you want"

"Really? You would do that?"

"Yeah why not, he already knows you're a vampire so that's one awkward conversation out of the way"

The two girls laughed and eventually Rebekah opened up more, Caroline really was enjoying her company,

"You know Nik's never actually had a girlfriend apart from Tatia, she was a real bitch"

"How can he of never had a girlfriend in 1000 years?"

"Nik doesn't like to show emotion, he cares for his family but he doesn't really show it, hopefully you can change that"

"I hope so, who was Tatia?"

"She was a girl who lived in the village when we were human, she was courted by both Elijah and Nik, they were both always trying to gain her attention and beat the other one until eventually my mother had enough of their fighting, she used Tatia's blood in the ritual to turn us into vampires, you see Tatia was the original doppelganger"

"No way, they both loved the same girl? I guess that would stop someone wanting to feel love I mean knowing you drank their blood to change"

"Yeah"

"I guess the doppelgangers have a knack for getting brothers to fall in love with them"

"You mean Katerina and Elena, I hate both of them, I don't get what it is with these doppelgangers, and they're not that pretty"

"I hate Katherine myself; she was the one who killed me"

"She always was selfish"

The girls talked for hours about their pasts, Caroline didn't mind talking to Rebekah about all of this because she knew it wouldn't be used against her, they were just talking like girlfriends talk.

Eventually Caroline made her way to her car, Rebekah had just gone to the bathrooms before they began their journey home, putting their bags in the boot of the car Caroline went to walk to the drivers door when she felt a sharp pain in her neck, she suddenly felt light headed,

"Bekah" was all she managed to shout before she blacked out.
