The One Stuck With Immortal Change

Chapter 22

"My missing half"

Those words rang in her ears; she moved her head away and took a few steps to the side. Klaus' breathing was short and he was looking over her confused, he had confessed something so dangerous to her and he thought... he thought there moment would last. Why was she pulling away from him now? Hadn't the truth been enough for her?

Caroline placed a hand on her forehead, trying to think. She felt like on the inside she was forgetting something, that there was something very important she should have recognized.

"Klaus?" She asked, he shook of his defeated look and replaced it with a small smile. "Yes Caroline"

"I..." She shut her eyes "There something, it feels like I've missed something"

"I don't see what you could have forgotten out here, it's only me and you"

She bit back her lip, her mind kept nagging that there was something really important she needed to catch onto but the way his watercolour eyes were boring into her it was impossible to concentrate. Damn him.

"Maybe we should go back" Klaus offered, he extended a hand for her.

"You right I think its best we return" too distracted to notice his extended hand, she didn't know the meaning for his exaggerated sigh.

Klaus watched her ignore his hand, how did things go so quickly downhill.

"Klaus are you sure I haven't missed anything?" she asked, as they walked to higher ground.

"I don't know" he answered "I really just don't get you sometimes Caroline"

She paused her walking shifting her body around. "I'm sorry"

"Who are you?"

Damon smirked "If it aren't the barbie Klaus"

"Barbie Klaus?" she demanded, "Are you insulting me" her legs were tensing, she rolled the stake around in her hands against his side.

Damon unbothered, turned slowly to face her. " It what I call you in another life"

Her eyes squinted "What is supposed to mean?"

His hand slid down to push away the stake "Haven't you ever heard about the Future" his voice unnerving her.

"Do not lie to me" She spat, the stake stabbing through his hand "I cannot be played"

His gave a shaky laugh "You're the most gullible woman I've met, Matt Donvan could play you"

"Close your mouth" She yanked out the stake and aimed it to his ribs, he returned a cry and bended down to his knees

"GUARDS" She called, her gaze wrapped hard around him

"Sister" Elijah came out of the shadows, Trevor not far behind him. She was surprised to see them both.

"What are you doing out here?" She asked

Elijah scanned over the man his sister had plunged with a stake; He had dark raven hair and a smooth completion. His eyes were colored a piercing blue.

"Elijah" Damon coughed "Where's your suit buddy?"

He ignored Damon unsure what a 'suit' meant. "I figured you're out to follow Caroline"

"Are you out to do the same?"

"Caroline?" Damon winced "She's here?"

"You know Caroline" Elijah circled curiously

"He is lying brother. He undoubtable works for our farther"

"I don't work for Mikael" Damon peered down at the stake "Can't you take this thing out?"

Both originals faces ashen. "We never mentioned our father's name was Mikael..."

"Kaus do you ever wonder what lies in your future?"

He smiled "Our future"

"Our" she tasted the words, their paths did cross in the future.

He heaved "It's not to unpredictable, the next century could just end up like the last, you don't know when things will change when you're immortal"

"Thing change all the time" Caroline said "Civilization grows, people create new inventions, people write new books"

"Human's grow Human's change. Vampires adapt" he corrected

"Hybrids change"

His eyes widened, he hadn't mentioned to her he was part wolf, he never told her his father was also hunting him down because he was an abomination.

Klaus reached for her arm and span her back to him. "Hybrid?" he searched her eyes. Waiting for the disgust, vampires didn't like wolves. It was the battle implanted between the species the night Mikael slaughtered his biological family.

He couldn't find anything that cringed at him. "You know I'm a hybrid"

"Yes"

"Do you fear me?"

"Yes"

He looked down.

This was Klaus, the most dangerous creature that was on this earth, ashamed, looking away from her. She felt almost powerful, energized. Her fingers triggered below his chin, tilting his head up his eyes returning themselves to hers.

"Not because you're a Hybrid or an Original or the most powerful being that anyone could ever come across. I'm not afraid the way you kill mindlessly; I am not afraid how harsh and impulsive you are"

His was left stunned.

"What I fear about you is far greater than that"

"What do you fear from me if not those reason?"

"I fear for my control around you" Her voice quieted as the mass of his lips crushed hers in an eruption of heat. I don't know how to be around you and keep my control.

"Caroline"

She bit down on his lip, caught of guard. Klaus groaned, she had hit blood, His hand around her neck gripped harder. She pulled her mouth away, her breath heavy, his lips making do with her collar bone.

"Caroline"

"No" She said barely audible. Not now

"Caroline" the voice sounded louder, it was undeniable.

"Klaus" she gasped, he looked up at her.

"It is too soon" Vulnerably flickered over him "I just got carried away-"

"No" she shortened "I need to go"

"Caroline"

"I need to go now" She dive in for a last kiss, she didn't want to leave him now, not like this. "I'll be back" She promised before whizzing away with her vampire speed.

Klaus watched her as she left. I will come for you if you don't.

Her head banged against the wall, she believed she was well out of sight from Klaus, he would have too many questions otherwise. "Dammit Bonnie" The darkness, come upon into her. This wasn't a time she wanted to go to the red room.

...

"The white room" her voice echoed, throughout but it wasn't the same. It was larger, more open, and the smooth floors she was use were cold and breezy, it was snow at the bottom of her bear feet instead.

"This isn't a room" she said, her voice bouncing of the dark buildings. There were street lamps with no lights and no lights shining out of windows, the town looked dead, deserted, abandoned.

"Hello?!" She called, she span with the wind blowing her frock in all directions. "Bonnie? Where are you?"

No answer.

"You summoned me, you were calling my name, Bon come out"

"I always liked you"

Caroline's eyes widened. "Who are you" she shouted, spinning, she couldn't find anyone.

"I always liked you" the male said once more.

"Show yourself" she demanded, her eyes watering.

"But you knew I was set to die"

She found him, a dead lamp lit all of a sudden. She gasped, her chest restricting in her rib cage as the figure shone in the dull light.

"You knew all along that I was going to die"

"Henrik" Her voice broke, a tear rolled halfway down her cheek. "I couldn't change the future, it would change everything" she tried to tell him.

"Was it worth the future you knew?"

"I couldn't change it Henrik it wasn't in my power"

A small smile surfaced. "No we all have the power to change anything"

"I couldn't" She cried "Bonnie, the witches wouldn't let me!"

"You'll deny anything for your heart; your heart would destroy the world for love"

"No.." she whispered

"The reason why you could not change the future, the reason you were paralysed from speaking, no matter how much your mind wanted too, your heart knew without my death you would have never met Nikaus."

"No.."

"It was something so extreme that your heart could not register, your other half would have died a 1000 years before you were born"

His body vanished the lamp light blowing off.

"Henrik" She screamed over the wind.

"It's so beautiful Niklaus"

"Elena?" She twirled around; the dark buildings she remembered was gone and replaced by a frozen stream. On the other side of the stream whom she thought was Elena was notable Tatia. She was wearing a pure white dress that blended with the snow. She also was banging on the ice with her plain hands.

"Niklaus please give it to me, I will love you forever"

Caroline hurried to the snowy banks. She recognized this stream, it was the same one she brought the injured Klaus too when he was human. Gazing into the frozen water under the cloudy surface was the flower carving.

She found herself banging against the ice, her vampire strength incapable to break it. All she knew was Tatia wanted it but it wasn't hers to own, Caroline couldn't let her get her hands on it. Water droplets fell onto the ice and on her frustrated balled up hands. She was crying. Why couldn't she break the ice?

"You need to stop Caroline" A male voice said against her ear, he came from behind and wrapped his hands over her mouth, stopping her hysterical protest, his other arm dragged her back from the ice as she was forced to look on at Tatia's hit blows on the ice and finally one of them shattered the surface.

"No!" She screamed against the hand as Tatia held the wooden flower charm in her hands.

"Love you are mine" Klaus said, he placed a comforting hand on Tatia's shoulder.

"Let go of me" Caroline begged.

"I'm here to take you home Caroline" It was Damon that had his arms around her. He was stronger and her fighting was useless as he continued to drag her further and further away from the picture of Tatia and Klaus.

Bonnie appeared from nowhere, she took Caroline's spot at the stream.

"Damon will bring you home Care" She said gently "There is no other way of getting back"

Damon realised her mouth. "This isn't the white room" Caroline cried to her.

"The white room is your subconscious, it can take any form" Bonnie finished.

The environment vibrated and bright lights flashed from the skies, she could hear faint screams as she was getting sucked in.

...

Her hands were over her face when she woke, thank god no one had seen her faint. She touched underneath her eyes, shocked to find them dry. She wasn't crying.

Klaus opened the great hall doors. A meeting had been called in his leave. A sea of lower class vampires had been called to be an audience. The three grand thrones stood idle in the front of the crowd. Rebekah had taken her rightful position on hers and Elijah sat in his. Katerina was nowhere in sight.

"Where is the dopple ganger brother?"

"This is not suitable for her" Elijah said meekly

There was a shirtless vampire forced on his knees by three vampires, to bow to Rebekah and Elijah.

"Who is he" Klaus ask, making his way to his seat. He couldn't get the kiss with Caroline outside of his head. He wanted her to be seated beside him during this meeting if only she hadn't fled so soon.

"He is one of Mikael's spies" Rebekah growled "I suggested we kill him already but Elijah wanted to be efficient and make a spectacle out of it"

"Elijah is right sweetheart, take this as an example for any one that defies us"

The crowd listen silently. Everyone was aware Mikael was an enemy; the originals had spread word that he was vicious vampire hunter but the little fact that he was there father was left unknown to everybody.

"You can't kill me" he helplessly, chocked while smiling.

Klaus stood up tall, he too wore a smirk, approaching the man. "Is that right little thing"

"Yeah" He answered, the one of the guards that was supposed to be restraining him, misjudged his hold and two of his hands slipped free. The man, knocked the guard back with his shoulder blade, the 2 other guards scrambled to regain control over their prisoner but he was persistent and the crowed was left with dropped jaws as the black hair vampire kicked the 2nd guard down and snapped the thirds one's neck. The 2nd guard jumped back to his feet and so did the 1st one with the blood rushing down his nose.

"Pathetic" Elijah mumbled.

By the time Trevor came forward from the crowd the 1st guard had already lost his heart. Trevor pulled the last guard standing out of the way, tearing apart part of his spine.

"Useless creature" he spat The body fell lifelessly with the others.

Before Trevor had a chance to pounce on the prisoner, Klaus had had enough and strangled his neck quickly and with ease.

"You're quite the pest aren't you?"

"Oh hunny I've been call worse" he replied, his hands scratching for Klaus to release him.

Caroline's head was pounding, the lights were even hurting her eyes. She had never felt so awful from one of those blackouts. She didn't even know what she should think about first. She glided across the hallways of the castle, she didn't know what she was looking for what she wanted to find out but finding Klaus appeared to be the answer.

She barged into the dining room; human food flooded her sense of smell. Maids where filling up various goblets but there was only was one person sitting at the table... Katherine. She looked up pleasantly; the knife paused from cutting the eggs on her plate.

"Caroline! Care to join me for brunch?"

"No, I'm not hungry Katherine" She titled her head to the side glancing at the door leading to the kitchens. "Have you seen Klaus around by any chance?"

"Um... Elijah told me that Klaus left yesterday for business" She frowned. "If not I would be with him"

"Oh Elijah must have forgotten to tell me" Caroline made up

"My lady" a female servant interrupted, in her hands was a silvery tray with a red small cushion on it she held it high over her head.

"Have you finished" Katherine ask plainly

"Yes My lady I have furnished it, it is spotless" The servant lowered the tray and Caroline thought she would fall backwards.

"What is that" Caroline stuttered

Katherine admiringly picked up the small flower carving from the tray; it was between her thumb and index finger. "My mother passed it on to me before I fled Bulgaria, her grandmother told her the flower in the new world means destiny, I don't know why but I always keep it close"

"Do you like it Lady Caroline?" Katherine searched for her but she had disappeared.

Caroline ran away as fast as her vampire speed could take her. She couldn't deal with this. She slowed down at in the other side of the castle in front of the grand hall.

"How long have you been spying on us" Klaus added pressure to his prisoner's neck.

"I'm not one of Mikael's spies" his voice came out high pitched.

"Lies" Someone from the crowd yelled. "We should watch him burn" another called.

"You can't kill me Klaus"

"Really" Klaus rolled his eyes, "If only I had a mirror I could make you watch as I kill you"

The crowd responded in cheers.

The black hair stranger shut his eyes for as second then reopens them, his veins expanding down; his eyes make the transition blue to black.

"Caroline would never forgive you"

Alarm flashed over Klaus' face, the crowd whispering who was this Caroline. Elijah stood up and started jogging down. "He doesn't know what he's talking about"

"I never thought he had been spying on us for that long" Rebekah said to no one. Her brothers understood what this meant, Mikael had been feed too much information and they would have to now run with the addition of Caroline by their side, she wasn't strong enough to fend for herself.

"MIKAEL KNOW'S ABOUT HER" Klaus infuriated began to crush his neck, he was red in rage.

The grand hall doors, bursted open and the angelic blonde, came in waltzing in. "Klaus I found you" She breathed, her heart stopped cold as her eyes focused on the black hair man, Klaus was holding up by his neck.

"Blondie finally, can you call your stalker of me" He coughed

Damon will bring you home Care

"Stop it"

Klaus gazed at her face; he had never seen her with such an expression.

"You know this man" Elijah asked, a vein popping out of his neck

"Yes" she replied distantly

"I told you she would never forgive you if you killed me" the black hair stranger said as Klaus soften his grip hesitantly.

There is no other way of getting back

"He's name is Damon..."

I actually wrote the majority of this chapter a week and a half ago but I hadn't posted it, I'm sorry :)

HOW DID YOU LIKE IT?

Caroline doesn't mean to give Klaus the cold shoulder at the start, it's because she's convinced she hasn't caught on to something. Which she hasn't... "Your my Missing half" "You have to make your heart whole" ;) That's all I'll say about it. Anyway Rebekah stumbles on 'naked' Damon and both she and Elijah are convinced he is a spy from Mikael so they put him up for a trial. Caroline while kissing Klaus hears Bonnie's voice calling her and Caroline figures that she'll faint and go to the White room and normal vampires don't really faint for no reason so she has to distance herself from Klaus so he doesn't ask her questions. Caroline has a different scenery to her White room and it's very random but foreshadows and enlightens Caroline's past and future. Henrik tells Caroline the time she lost her voice and couldn't tell anyone Henrik would die was not because of Bonnie of the witches telling her she couldn't change the future, it was her own heart that stopped her from speaking up because if Klaus never got turned into a Hybrid, he and Caroline would have never met in the future. And the scene with Tatia and Klaus shows a little of Caroline's Jealously. Sorry if it's confusing.

bunnykay: Just wondering now that Damon is back to a time that Katherine was human, how is he going to treat her, she was his great love for over a hundred years & now that she is human & "innocent" will that get him to fall for her again? Or maybe he'll make her payback for how she treated him when he was human.
This will defiantly be getting explored. You will find out what happens between Damon and Katherine, and how he treats her :)

Jane Bennett:OMG, did she just do it? Make her heart whole? That would mean Damon would be stuck for nothing now
No not yet ;) but I'm glad your catching on, Damon isn't there for nothing he has a purpose I assure you.

Geust: But seeing as Rebecca and Caroline are friends in the past, does that mean that they will be friends in the future?
It isn't just Caroline that will remember her past friendship with Rebekah but Rebekah in the future is getting flashes and new memories :) I believe both will defiantly rely on one another way more in the future.

SeraphCherub: But i have some question: When exactly did Caroline time travelled? And the end of season 4? Then why is Kol still alive? And Klaus still in Mystic Falls...Second question: What about Elena? You always write about her being in danger, needing Bonnies help. But why? Why does she need her help?
Great Questions! This isn't exactly set in the end of season four, It does to an extent that follows the Vampire diaries and I use klaroline scenes and repeat quotes but I ignore everything I dislike about the show like murdering off Kol, I love his character so in my story I kept him alive and I don't want Klaus to leave so he hasn't. Plus Klaus has to get Carebear back before he goes anywhere. Second question, I haven't actually revealed what sort of 'danger' Elena is in, we'll find out once Caroline does :)

I hope this chapter was enjoyable! :D Thank you for the lovely people that left me reviews!
