Kol burst into the room waking up Klaus and Caroline, he flashed and help Klaus up against the wall. Caroline jumped out of bed and ran over to them trying to calm Kol down. Klaus growled but relented wanting to know what he'd done to piss his brother off this time.
"Kol, what the hell!" Caroline hissed. Kol looked over Caroline's attire and put Klaus down seemingly satisfied.
"Nothing darling just checking you're dressed." Kol winked and Caroline rolled her eyes.
"Are you serious? You woke me up for that!" She huffed.
"Well that and I was rather hurt I had to sleep alone last night but I'll let it slide this once." He pouted.
"Was that necessary brother?" Klaus glared. "Caroline love, how about you pack a bag for yourself? I think I'll have a word with Kol." He smirked and Caroline nodded. Klaus flashed into the other room with Kol. "What the hell was that about Kol?" He glared and Kol sighed.
"I'm just being my awesome best friend self and protecting Caroline. I wanted to make sure you hadn't taken advantage of her." Kol glared.
"You think that low of me brother?" Klaus actually looked hurt and Kol rolled his eyes.
"Yes." He smirked. "Who are you and what have you done with my mass murdering psychotic brother?" Kol laughed.
"I'll have you know I wouldn't treat her like that brother I mean it." Klaus said sincerely and Kol nodded seemingly satisfied.
"What are your intentions with Caroline." Kol raised his eyebrow, his hands on his hips and Klaus frowned. "Let's be honest here brother you're not exactly the relationship type, are you using her for her powers?" Kol glared and Klaus smirked.
"I'll have you know I'm officially the relationship type as of last night." Klaus smiled proudly and Kol frowned. "I asked her to be my girlfriend." He smiled and Kol rolled his eyes.
"Wipe that lovesick look off your face brother it doesn't suit you." Kol huffed. "Fine if that's what Caroline wants I'll allow it but let me warn you brother..." Kol glared shaking his fist threateningly. "There isn't a dagger in your possession that will stop me from killing your insufferable ass if you break her heart are we clear?" Klaus rolled his eyes but nodded. "Good. Well then, what are you packing for?"
"I'm taking Caroline to a cabin in the woods near here for the day. We might stay there the night I'm not sure yet." Klaus shrugged. "Caroline's feeling overwhelmed and I think she needs to have some space."
"My brother the doting boyfriend." Kol rolled his eyes. "She better come back in one piece, not a single scratch you hear me? I'm serious."
"Sure thing brother." Klaus chuckled. "Now if you'll excuse me."

Klaus put their things inside the cabin and Caroline stood outside breathing in the fresh air. She was so glad Klaus convinced her to do this.
"Are you all right out there love?" Klaus asked from inside the cabin.
"I'm fine I'm just going to go for a walk. Be back soon." She yelled back.
"Be careful sweetheart." He said quietly and she smiled at his overprotective nature. "I'll come find you soon."
She flashed inside the cabin and surprised him giving him a kiss before flashing away again. She shifted into her wolf form and ran through the forest at a lazy speed, relishing in the natural sounds of the forest. She shifted back into her normal form and allowed her wings to grow and her fangs to descend. She hovered in the forest air, not caring she'd shredded through her clothes when shifting. She looked up at the sky smiling, loving how happy she felt. The clouds in the air disappeared and the sun shone through brightly beaming down and warming her skin. It was so much easier to focus with no pressure. She could even stop the blackness in her eyes from happening, although she could still feel the glowing of her blue irises.
She fell back down to the ground and closed her eyes, focusing on the invisibility. She knew she could control it without going to Carson for help and wanted to achieve something with her free time. She closed her eyes and slowly allowed her body to fade. It flickered slightly at first but she soon felt her body tingling all over with the strange invisible sensation. She smiled in triumph and focused on bringing herself back. She concentrated for a while until her body slowly reappeared and returned to normal.
She shifted back into wolf form, running further into the forest before settling down in a grassed area surrounded by flowers. She shifted back and lay down in the grass soaking up the sunshine. She noticed a few of the flowers around her were dead and frowned in sadness. She gently placed her hand on the ground near their roots and closed her eyes. She opened her eyes and smiled happily when the flowers were brought back to life and looked healthy.
She meditated for what felt like hours, practicing her abilities and by the end of it felt more at peace with herself than she ever had before. She thought about Klaus and how quickly she'd grown comfortable with him. She knew Kol didn't approve of their 'relationship' but she also knew he'd deal with it because it's what she wanted. Klaus' had been so sweet to her it was hard to imagine the evil hybrid everyone always talked about. She saw through his macho man facade easily and felt herself wanting to know everything about him. She knew it was hard for him to restrain himself and she always freaked out when things got to heavy between them, she just didn't want to ruin what they had going for them with sex.
She knew he must be frustrated because she definitely was but she'd always told herself she wouldn't give it up for just anyone and he'd have to understand that, but she still felt bad leaving him hanging all the time. She smiled up at the rising moon and figured she'd better get back to Klaus. She closed her eyes and teleported back to the cabin, smoothly landing on the bed where Klaus was sitting talking on the phone. He jumped in fright when she appeared before quickly looking over her appearance and tried to look away.
"It's okay Elijah I've found her." He sighed into the phone.
Caroline smirked and stood up walking over to her bag and pulling out one of Klaus' long t shirts she'd packed. She swiftly threw it on and sat back down on the bed next to Klaus.
"Yes I'll see you tomorrow." Klaus smiled hanging up the phone and turning to Caroline. "Where the hell have you been!" He growled and she rolled her eyes.
"Relax Klaus I was gallivanting about in the forest." She smiled. "It was amazing I feel so much better now. I'm sorry if you were worried." She pecked him lightly on the lips. "I missed you." She winked and he seemed to relax.
"I wasn't worried I just thought you'd gotten in to trouble." He smirked.
"Sure you weren't." She laughed. "It's okay to admit it you know, my lips are sealed."
"Well I'm pleased you had a nice time." He smiled.
"Yes it was very nature like and all that, probably not that interesting for you." She smiled and captured his lips in a kiss silencing him from whatever he was about to say. He smirked and pulled her closer, effectively pulling her on top of him. She broke the kiss only to nibble on his earlobe and place small biting kisses from his ear down to the hollow of his throat where she sucked forcefully making him growl.
"While I'm enjoying this immensely can I ask what's got you in such a good mood?" He chuckled.
"I'm always in a good mood after meditating." She winked before roughly pressing her lips to his again and delicately slipping her tongue into his mouth. He tried to take control of this kiss but her need for dominance rivaled his. She trailed her fingers down his chest, shooting small sparks out of her fingertips making him shudder. He growled and flipped them over so he hovered above her. He smirked at her before taking her lips with his again. She could feel his arousal pressed against hers and shivered with want and shook her head trying to clear it.
"Are you all right love?" Klaus smiled kissing her neck.
"Yup." She gulped when he bit the flesh of her neck with his human teeth.
"Are you sure?" He smirked as he trailed his fingers down her sides, reaching the bare flesh there. Of course she hadn't put underwear on she rolled her eyes. He placed gentle bites along her shoulder and she moaned. Here she was feeling bad about leaving him hanging and he was relentlessly teasing her. Two could play at that game she smirked.
"Hungry?" She asked innocently and he quickly brought his face up to hers a confused expression gracing his features. "Take a bite." She smirked and he frowned.
"Are you being serious?" He asked and the serious look on his face made her smile.
"Sure go ahead." She winked. "It can't be that bad right? I wouldn't know I've never been bitten by a vampire."
"Are you sure?" He asked seriously.
"Yes Klaus bite me already." She huffed of course he had to be all serious about it. She knew from what Kol had told her that biting was extremely sexual in a circumstance like this and he deserved all the frustration he got. Klaus kissed her lips before kissing down to her neck and gently biting into her flesh. She didn't even flinch at the pain because she'd definitely had worse. He slowly drank her blood, shifting closer to her if that was possible almost like he was attempting to climb inside her. She hissed feeling his obvious erection digging into her sensitive flesh and decided then and there this was a bad idea.
She sighed in relief when he pulled back and closed his eyes in obvious pleasure. He had small drops of blood running down from his lips and she smirked at him leaning up to lick the blood clean making him growl. His hybrid features were still out and she reached her finger up to trace the veins showing underneath his eyes. He tried to move his face away but she held it firmly in place before kissing him on the lips, not caring that his fangs were showing.
"You're beautiful." She smiled and he chuckled. "I'm serious. You look perfect." She kissed each of his eyelids, followed by the veins and then his lips. He smiled shyly when she pulled back. "Are you glad that you became a vampire?"
"Yes and no." He smirked. "Obviously I'm glad I am but the reason behind our turning isn't worth it."
"Why what happened?" She frowned. He sighed and rolled over onto the bed facing her.
"I had another brother." He said and her eyes widened. "His name was Henrik." He smiled. "He was the youngest out of all of us. One full moon he asked me to take him to see the werewolves change. I took him and he-" He stopped.
"He died?" Caroline said quietly holding his hand for comfort. He nodded glumly. "You know that's not your fault right?" She asked.
"Of course it's my fault, he never would have died if I hadn't been so careless." He sat up and faced away from her. She sat up and wrapped her arms around him from behind.
"It's not your fault Klaus, you couldn't have known what was going to happen. The werewolves did it not you." She breathed into his ear.
"You don't have to say anything to make me feel better Caroline, I accepted it was my doing a long time ago." He sighed.
"I'm not trying to make you feel better Klaus I'm just telling you the truth." She kissed his cheek. "I'll tell you every day until you believe it if I have to." She let him go and climbed back under the covers. He eventually turned back around and climbed in too.
"Your blood tastes amazing you know." He smirked after a long silence and she laughed.
"Is that right?" She smiled. "Not surprising really."
"Why did you ask me to bite you?" He frowned.
"I knew you wanted to." She shrugged and he frowned. "My two best friends are vampires Klaus I'm pretty sure I know how things go." She laughed and he chuckled.
"Kol gave me the best friend talk earlier." He smiled and she rolled her eyes. "Something along the lines of 'i'll kill you if you hurt her'." He tried to imitate Kol's voice.
"Of course he did." Caroline laughed. "He doesn't like it when I talk to my own father just because he's a guy. Honestly if you weren't indestructible you'd be dead already, brother or not."
"So you and Kol have definitely never been romantic right?" Klaus tried to look casual.
"Well this one time..." She started and Klaus growled. "We kissed once." She said and he glared at her. "Let me explain." She rolled her eyes and he looked at her waiting. "We were both really drunk and I don't think he even knew it was me. We'd only just started hanging out and once I realized what was happening I threw up on him." She shrugged and Klaus burst out laughing. "What? It was disgusting." She shuddered.
"I bet his face was priceless." Klaus said after he calmed down and she nodded. "And that's it?" He asked and she nodded again.
"Have you met Kol? He's repulsive." She gagged and he laughed again. "What? Don't try and spin me that 'Mikaelson charm' bs either because he's just a creepy thousand year old pervert. It's like he's stuck in the middle of hormonal development." She laughed.
"And what did you and Elijah do when I was away?" He smirked and she rolled her eyes.
"Are we seriously going back to that?" She huffed and he nodded completely serious. "We just talked and trained. He's actually pretty cool when he's not being all serious and polite."
"Is that all you like about him?" He raised an eyebrow and she sighed.
"He has nice hair, I'd like to know what shampoo he uses." She laughed and he sighed. "Why do you always freak out about Elijah and me?"
"Remember how I told you I was with the original doppelganger Tatia?" He asked and she nodded. "So was Elijah." He shrugged.
"At the same time?" She asked and he nodded. "Bloody doppelgangers I should've known it was hereditary." She glared and he laughed at her outburst. "Well you know how I told you I already talked to Elijah?" He nodded. "Well I told him I'm not a doppelganger so I think we're good here." She smirked and he laughed. "Did you love her? Tatia I mean."
"I suppose I did." He shrugged and she smirked.
"So you do have feelings!" She laughed. "I knew it."
"Keep that to yourself will you." He smiled and she nodded. "I'm glad we came here."
"Me too." She smiled and snuggled in closer to him. "Thanks for bringing me here, it's perfect." She kissed his chest.
"You're welcome love." He smiled. "Get some sleep, we can stay for a little while in the morning."
