Night turned to day, a day turned to a week, and a week turned into a month. Slowly the month turned to two, two months of waiting for what Esther was planning. Caroline and Klaus slowly grew closer, and by the end of the second month, they were inseparable. Wherever Klaus was, Caroline wasn't too far behind, and vice versa.
Because Caroline had started staying over for protection, she learned almost everything about Klaus, and he her. When she had told her mom about Tyler and the threat he and Klaus' mom posed, Liz knew that Klaus would protect her little girl better than she could, so she agreed to let Caroline stay with Klaus and his family. In order to insure protection, Bonnie spelled the house with a barrier, which only allowed a few people inside, except for Stefan, Damon, and especially Tyler and Esther. Just a few weeks ago, Bonnie extended the barrier to the gardens, much to the joy of the inhabitants of the house.
For the past two months, Caroline was falling more in love with Niklaus Mikaelson, and she shuttered to think he felt the same. During these months, Caroline noticed how close Kol and Bonnie were. She noticed how Kol was always there when Bonnie needed him. Bonnie had told Caroline that they had only knew each other a week before they realized they were falling for each other. Caroline smiled at the thought of her best friend in love with the dangerous hybrid. It was only around Bonnie, did Caroline see the change she had made in Kol. Kol was changing her too. Caroline didn't know whether it was because they had only four weeks to get to know each other before they came back, or was it because they had spent two months together in this house, inseparable. Caroline came to see that whatever the reason, Bonnie was happy and free.
Caroline smiled at the thought, while sitting in Klaus' painting room. When she had informed Klaus that she needed a few private moments alone, he suggested she use this room because nobody came in here, except him, and he respected her need for a little privacy.
During the two months, Caroline had taken to writing in a journal. She looked down at the leather bounded journal, with her name etched perfectly on the cover. It was given to her two months ago by Rebekah. She said it was a peace offering for her brother. Caroline couldn't remember when Rebekah was so human, but during these months Caroline grew closer to the blond vampire, and so did Matt. Caroline smiled in remembering when Matt came over to bring Elena some food, and Rebekah had answered the door. Her and Bonnie looked out the window, and smiled at how nervous Matt was talking to her. Since he couldn't come in at the time, he just stood out on the porch talking with Rebekah for hours. They talked until Matt couldn't keep his eyes open. It was then, that he was allowed to enter. Rebekah, in her human moment, couldn't stand to let him drive in this state. Ever since that night, Matt came over every day just to see 'his' Rebekah.
The brothers didn't miss a thing. Caroline let out a laugh, as she read what she wrote on a certain day when Matt came over.
Klaus ordered Rebekah to stay in her room, while he and the other brothers 'got to know' this human boy. Rebekah whined and told Klaus that he was not the boss of her, and that she could see anyone she wanted. I remember Klaus laughing at that, and saying, "If you were not my sister, I suppose you would." I watched as Rebekah finally relented and stayed in her room.
The boys, with me, Bonnie, Sage, and Elena listening outside the door, began to talk with Rebekah's Matt.
"Now, Matt," Elijah began. "Since Rebekah is our only sister, you should understand why we are doing this."
Apparently he nodded because this time Klaus continued.
"You do know that if you hurt our darling sister, we will rip out your heart."
I rolled my eyes. Klaus was such a dramatic.
"Among other things" Kol added.
"You see, we don't mean to be so hostile, it's just we know exactly what men think." Klaus began.
"Exactly, and we know what you may be planning with Rebekah." Kol added.
"We are just concerned about Rebekah's safety." Elijah stated. "But, Klaus is correct, if you hurt our sister, we will rip your heart out, and make you wish you were never born."
"Do you understand, Matthew?" Finn asked, finally.
"I understand." He replied nervously. "But you have nothing to worry about, I like Rebekah. I like her a lot, and I would never dream of hurting her." He continued with his confidence up.
That seemed to sway the brothers, because they let him go. Matt could not run out of that room fast enough. We laughed so hard as he ran straight for Rebekah's room, and I listened as Rebekah laughed at her brother's antics, and promised Matt that they were just being her brothers.
Caroline laughed again. She looked out the far window, and noticed Elijah and Elena walking through the gardens. She smiled at the sight, of Elena reaching for Elijah's hand and grasping it firmly as she leaned over to smell a rose. Caroline knew that Elena could never act this free with Stefan or Damon, and she was glad that her friend found someone she could relate to in that way.
Caroline picked up her pen, and found a blank page and began to right.
Dear Journal,
Well its day 64 and we haven't killed each other yet. Elena and Elijah are outside in the gardens. Bonnie extended the boundary yesterday to the end of the gardens, much to the joy of the others. Not to say the whole family isn't wonderful, but there are moments were I wanted to ring their necks, especially Kol. It was no wonder he stayed daggered for so long.
I'm tempted to ask Nik about that girl. Her name was mentioned yesterday; at least I believe it was her name because of the way Kol reacted. Finn asked about her and Kol stood up to attack. Bonnie touched him, and he calmed down immediately, but left the room, followed by Bonnie. I guess I could ask her, but I'd rather ask Nik.
Also, they finally burned the white oak stakes, except for one. Nik kept it, and hid it somewhere. He hasn't told me where and frankly I don't care. He's only doing it for protection, and I completely understand
You know, we still haven't done anything, yet. I'm shocked I am able to wait this long. With Tyler and Matt, I had already before one month, but with Nik nothing. I shouldn't complain, because I do want it to be special, but I'm feeling like I'm going to pop.
This is insane! I love him, journal. I love him more and more every day. He has these little moments that just make me stop and smile. Like the other day, I opened the door to find my mom standing there. Nik had called her, because I had mentioned that I missed her. Yes I did thank him, with a gigantic kiss.
Anyway, mom stayed for a few hours, and promised to come by next week. I can't wait to see her.
Oh by the way, Matt has moved in. He and Rebekah have finally admitted they care deeply for each other. It's not to the love bit yet, but it's a start. I'm very happy for them.
Caroline continued writing as Klaus entered the room. He smiled at her concentrating on her words. He came up to her and leaned down on the arm of the couch. Caroline felt his breath on the nape of her neck and she closed her journal.
"Oh, come on, love, it was getting interesting." Klaus teased.
Caroline leaned her head back and smiled. She knew he would never read her journal; he respected her privacy too much.
"Very funny, Nik" Caroline replied.
She began calling him Nik two weeks ago. She told him it was because she felt they were at that stage. He complied, as always when it came with her.
"What did you need?" She asked, already knowing the answer.
"To see you" He answered, and smiled as Caroline blushed. He loved making her blush.
She leaned forward and gently kissed him on the lips.
"Was it worth it?" She whispered.
Klaus nodded. "Very much" He gently placed his hand on her face and caressed her cheek. Caroline sighed at the contact.
She opened her eyes and gazed into his. She saw what she had been seeing for the past two months, tenderness, compassion, but something else lingered behind his eyes. She shuddered to think what those eyes held.
She smiled as she raised her hand to his scruffy face, and gently caressed his face. She loved his scruffy look.
"I love you, Niklaus Mikaelson." She whispered for the first time.
He was stunned. He had never had anyone tell him that before, except for family. He felt tears breaking the barriers of his eyes.
Caroline wiped those tears away and smiled. She knew why he was crying.
He leaned forward and captured her mouth with his. He kissed her desperately and hungrily. She moaned at the contact. He pulled back and gazed into her sparkling eyes.
"I love you, Caroline Forbes." He stated, tearfully.
She laughed, joyously, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She held him as he pulled her up. Standing, they held onto each other, basking in the love they just discovered.
~In the Woods~
"You have done well these past few months, Tyler." Esther replied, proudly.
Tyler smiled in satisfaction.
"Now it is time to complete the plan."
Tyler smiled again.
"You need to capture your ex-girlfriend, and bring her here."
"Why?" Tyler asked, absently without feeling.
"Once you have her, can you get to Niklaus."
Tyler smiled, evilly.
"I'll bring her to you in two days. Rumor has it that the Mikaelsons have put a barrier around their house, where no one can get in unless they are allowed. I'll need time to gain access."
Esther smiled, but shook her head. "All you have to do is get to her mother. She is the weak link."
Tyler smiled. "Excellent, make it one day, then, and I'll have her."
What did you think? Any good? I know some of you may not like this chapter, but I felt like it had progressed more! The next chapter will be more intense!
Until Next Time...
