Sorry for the long wait. I had some personal stuff I had to deal with but I am back and will be posting regularly :)
Clay pulled Caroline's body into the house. Liz was tied up and and watching in horror. "Why are you doing this?" She held back her sobs.
"You shot my son" Clay's voice was cold, he stared at Caroline's body expressionlessly.
"What?" Liz knew she had to keep Clay talking, Caroline would wake up soon and she could get them out of this mess.
"It was twenty years ago today. You shot him right in the head." Clay kicked Caroline's body. "How does it feel to watch your only child slip away?" He yelled.
"Twenty years ago... It was a drug bust, your son was in a rage, I had no choice it was me or him!" Liz tried to make Clay understand but he wasn't listening.
Caroline opened her eyes, her vision was still blurry and she couldn't remember how she had gotten on her kitchen floor.
"I've waited for this moment for a long time." Clay lifted up his gun and shot at Liz three times, the loud booms echoed through the house. A broad chest flashed in front of Liz, taking in all the bullets. Caroline vamped over to Clay and slammed his head onto the kitchen table knocking him out instantly. She looked over to see Tyler, he was bleeding from his chest and helping Liz out of her chair.
"What are you doing here?" Caroline asked.
"I heard about Silas and was worried about you" Tyler responded.
"Oh really? Because you care about me so much" Caroline snarled. She hadn't forgotten how Tyler had tried to stake her body when he found out Klaus was in it.
"I know I messed up and I didn't come here to get back together but I do want to make everything right with you and after we are done with Silas if you want me to leave I will." Tyler didn't take his eyes off of Caroline when he spoke.
"Well I would be dead if you didn't come when you did" Liz hugged Tyler ignoring the blood she was getting on her shirt. Caroline shifted uncomfortably, she didn't know what to think. She was happy with Klaus but seeing Tyler brought up some old memories and he did just take three bullets for her mother.
Tyler looked at Caroline and saw that she looked unhappy. "Look Caroline, if you want me to go now then I will but just know that I couldn't stand it if you hated me forever, I'm staying with my mom if you want to give me a call." Tyler gave Liz one more hug and left the house.
Caroline took out her phone. "I have to call Klaus. Are you okay?" she asked her mom.
Liz looked at Clay, she had really loved him. "Yeah" she lied. "I'll call it in and have him arrested."
Caroline played with her thumbs, she didn't know how to tell her current boyfriend that her ex boyfriend was back in town and had just saved her mother from being killed. When she gained the courage she pressed the call button. Klaus picked up after two rings.
"Hello Love"
"Hey. So something happened."
"Is everything okay? You sound shaken up."
"Clay's son was involved with a drug deal that had gone bad. My mom ended up having to shoot him, Clay wanted to get even so he shot me and tried to shoot my mom."
"Where is he?" Klaus's voice sounded dangerous.
"I knocked him out and my mom is having him arrested right now."
"Sounds like you took care of yourself."
"Kind of, I wasn't healed in time to save my mom from getting hit from the bullets Clay had shot."
"But you said that she was alright. Did he miss?"
"No. Tyler stepped in front of her just in time, he said that he heard about Silas and came to help."
"Where do you think the Lockwood boy is now?"
"You can't hurt him"
"Oh yes I can"
"Klaus. He saved my mom if he hadn't been there." Caroline choked, losing her mother was one of her greatest fears. "Anyway I was wondering if I could spend the night at your place. Police officers will be in and out of my house all night."
"You are welcome at my home any time Caroline"
Caroline drove to Klaus's house, she didn't bother knocking all she wanted to do was get to bed. Slowly she opened the door to Klaus's room. When Klaus saw Caroline he walked over to her and kissed her forehead. "Are you sure you are alright?" He asked.
"Yeah it's just..." Caroline sat on the bed.
"Just what?" Klaus sat beside her.
"I was helpless again. I watched Ruby die and I almost had to watch my mother die."
"I'm sorry you had to go through that." Klaus put his arm around Caroline as she rested her head on his shoulder. "I know that you don't want to hear anymore bad news but you need to know. Kol is working with Silas" Caroline's face didn't change, she didn't seem surprised.
"You knew?" Klaus asked.
"After Ruby died I thought about joining Silas to get her back."
"You never told me that."
Caroline shrugged. "I realized that it was too big of a risk but Kol is crazy about her and he is irrational, I would have been more shocked if he didn't join Silas."
"Why didn't you say anything?"
"I thought it was one of those things that everybody knew but nobody talked about. Guess I was wrong. So what are we going to do?"
"I don't know and now I have to worry about Tyler coming back to town as well."
"Why? He said he was here to help."
"To help you."
"You are scared I am going to go back to him. I love you Klaus you don't have to worry."
"Your first love comes back to town and saves your mother and you expect me not to be nervous?"
"Oh come on! Don't you trust me." Caroline asked. "I'll prove it to you, Let me list all the things I love about you." Caroline sat in font of Klaus and move the collar of his shirt to the side so she could see one of the birds in his tattoo. "I love this sexy tattoo" she traced her finger up his neck to his cheeks. "I love that even though you are the worlds most powerful creature you have the cutest dimples" she put her hand over his chest. "I love your big heart that for some reason fell for me. I love that you never gave up on me, that no matter how rude I was or how many times I pushed you away you always came back. You've pushed me to be a fighter, to be stronger. I love the person I am when I am with you."
Klaus vamped so he was on top of Caroline. "I love you too" he smiled and kissed Caroline. She pulled of his shirt and he unbuttoned hers. "Wait" Caroline put her hand up.
"Too fast?" Klaus asked.
"No" Caroline shook her head. "This is long over due, I just want you to lock the door, we have been interrupted way too many times."
Klaus vamped to the door and locked it, he turned around and saw Caroline laying on his bed smiling up at him waiting for his return. He took a deep breath and walked towards the bed.
The next morning Caroline woke up with her head resting on Klaus's chest, his finger were running through her hair. She smiled up at him. "Hi"
"Hi" Klaus said back. The two of them snuggled for a while longer until Caroline got a text message form Stefan saying that Elena had focused all her emotions on her hate for Katherine and want to kill her. "Oh Great" Caroline sighed.
"What's wrong?" Klaus asked still running his finger through Caroline's hair.
"I have to go, Elena and I are going to the Grill today to send out our graduation notices and Stefan says Elena wants to be the next Buffy the Vampire Slayer and take down Katherine."
"The drama never ends."
Caroline kissed Klaus again. "No kidding. Anyway I have to go. Love you. Bye!"
"Stamp Please" Caroline smiled. She and Elena were sitting outside The Grill having lunch and writing their graduation notices. Elena had already finished hers but Caroline wasn't even half way done her pile.
"You don't have to pretend to like me, I know you hate me for killing Ruby" Elena handed Caroline a stamp.
"I don't blame you for Ruby, I blame the other you, the crazy, emotionless, bitch you."
"It's the same person Caroline" Elena seemed annoyed.
"I refuse to believe that. Anyway once you get past this hating Katherine phase things can go back to normal." Caroline licked her envelope shut and started on her next notice.
"Wait do you know where Katherine is?" Elena asked.
"Of course not" Caroline signed.
"But if you did you would tell me right?" Elena grabbed a hold of Caroline's hands.
"Elena chill" Caroline pulled her hands away.
Elena got up and walked away from Caroline.
"Where are you going?" Caroline called after her.
"To talk to Elijah. If anybody knows where she is it's him." Elena got in her car and drove towards the originals house. She knocked on the door and Klaus opened it. "Hello Elena"
"I need to talk to Elijah. Is he here?"
"Yes I am." Elijah appeared behind Klaus. "How may I help you today?"
"Do you know where Katherine is?" Elena pushed past Klaus.
"I do not"
"So you expect me to believe that you have no idea where the woman you love is right now."
"Believe what you like Elena." Elijah went upstairs and Elena looked at Klaus. "I don't suppose you know where she is?" she asked.
"Katherine is the least of my worries right now Elena. Now goodbye." Klaus held the door open. Elena was barely out the door when he slammed it shut. Upstairs Rebekah got out of the shower and put on her house coat. "So Elena has her humanity back?" She asked. Stefan was laying on her bed reading a book.
"Kind of, but she has all her emotions focused on Katherine. So the rest of her emotions are still numbed down."
"So she hasn't said who she is going to choose between you and Damon" Rebekah tried to sound uninterested.
"Not yet." Stefan set his book and the bed side table and rolled over to face Rebekah. "So what about Kol? Has anybody heard from him?"
"Nope, I am assuming he is with Silas but that doesn't narrow things down at all"
Suddenly the power went off and the wind began to harshly blow. Stefan's phone vibrated it was a text from Damon.
Five bodies drained of blood. Come meet me at the hospital.
"Silas is fuelling up for something I have got to go"
"Wait, I'll come with you." Rebekah ran into her closet
