CAROLINE'S POV
I woke up this morning with one thought planted in my head... FIND KLAUS. Or find Alexander, I'll admit I was afraid of him but the need to find Klaus drive the fear out of my way. Tonight I was leaving. End of story.
Elijah came by to check on us but mostly to see my mother. I was unsure about the idea but I had no choice. They were both grown adults and were able to make their own decisions. I trusted Elijah, he's saved my life more times than I can count.
Mom and Elijah were downstairs drinking coffee as I was upstairs thinking about Klaus. What if I did find him and he was perfectly fine? What if he never planned on coming back to me? What if he got tired of US? What if... I started getting upset with myself, thinking about those things. Klaus wasn't fine because if he was he would be looking for me right now! I needed to talk to Elijah... Now. I went downstairs.. "Elijah, can I talk to you for a moment?" I asked. "Of course Caroline" he excused himself and we went outside. " Elijah I need your help" I said. "Anything" he replies. "I need your help to find Klaus. Since I'm human now I can't... I can't do things that you can. Please help me Elijah. I can't sit around waiting for him to show up. It's been too long, something's wrong" I told him. "When do you want to leave? I need to make arrangements for your mothers safety first and then we can go" he said. I nodded.
He was gone for about an hour before he came back. I was ready to go. "I arranged for one of my old friends to watch your mother at any cost. She'll be fine here" he said. I kissed and hugged my mom goodbye. Elijah walked up to her and kissed her cheek. "Take care of my baby" she demanded. "Yes ma'am" he replied. "An old friend of mine will be watching over you while we're gone. Nothing will happen to you" he said. She smiled "Thank you Elijah" she said. And we were off.
"We're going to need to find Alexander first Caroline" he told me. "I thought you might say that. Where do we start?" I asked. "Well since he was here I thought we'd start here in Tahiti" he said. I nodded. I had no reason to object to Elijah, he was smart, slick and quick. He knew how to get things done. "Now I need a favor from you, but you're not going to like it" he said. Oh no. What could he possibly have in mind?
I was at the local grocery store. I picked out a few things I thought I would need to eat along the way. As I made my way back to Elijah I was approached by a man. "If you scream ill kill your beloved Klaus. Come with me" he said. I knew that voice, it was Alexander. I followed him into the nearby jungle. "Where is he?" I demanded. "If I told you, I'd have to kill you. Well, I'm going to kill you anyway.." before he could finish Elijah had him by the throat on the floor. "Where is my brother?" He asked nicely. "I'm not telling you a bloody thing!" Alexander replied. Elijah's hold on him must have gotten tighter before he tried so hard to remove Elijah's hands from his throat. "Okay! Okay! Let me go and I'll tell you!" Alex said. "How about you tell me now. Or I will kill you" Elijah told him. "I don't know!" He yelled. "Liar" Elijah said as his hold got even tighter. I could see bruises forming around Alexander's neck. "He's here! In Tahiti! In a cave on the other side of the island!" He yelled out. "Show us where" Elijah demanded him.
We came to a cave that had a small entrance. I almost felt claustrophobic. We almost had to crawl to get in. As we made it past a certain point we could stand up normally. Luckily I had a key chain flashlight for emergencies. And then I saw him. Klaus was tied up covered in the blood from Alexander's fight and his clothes were ripped. I ran toward him but Elijah stopped me. "Caroline. He hasn't fed in days... I wouldn't suggest you go near him now" Elijah said hesitantly. When I looked back at Klaus his eyes were piercing yellow. Brighter than I've ever seen and he tugged against the chains as if I was a meal. I almost teared at the sight but I held it in.
Alexander broke from Elijah's grip and unleashed Klaus. Elijah didn't know what to do. Let alexander go? Or keep Klaus from killing me? Klaus charged toward me and I closed my eyes and covered my head. When I opened my eyes Alexander was gone and Elijah held Klaus from attacking me. When I looked at Klaus his eyes glimmered at the sight of me, his teeth were dying to sink into my skin and he fought with all his strength to break away from Elijah so be could finish..."Caroline! Run and don't stop til you reach home. My friends name is Hoan, let him know who you are. Understand? I'll be back with him later. He needs to feed" he asked almost demanding. " Okay" I answered.
I got home and a man suddenly appeared. " Miss? Make I ask who you are?" He asked. "I'm Carol.." He interrupted me with a swift "Get inside and stay with your mother. DO NOT leave the house until I say okay?" He asked. I nodded.
A few hours passed before the front door opened and I saw Klaus and Elijah. Klaus didn't have that crazed look in his eyes anymore, and he ran to me, picked me up and held me tightly. "Love, I'm so so sorry... I'm so sorry" he said. Tears streamed down my face. I was in his arms again. "I missed you.." I said. "I know love, I know. I missed you more than you can imagine" he said. I held him as tight as my human hands could. He picked me up and kissed me. It was almost the sweetest kiss he's given me. The only other time I could think of was when I thought I died after taking the cure. "Put me down for a second?" I asked him. "Never. I'm never letting you out of my grasp. Whatever you have to do you'll do from my arms" he said. "I'd like to thank your brother for everything he's done for me these past few days. And bringing you back to me" I said. "Fine just this once, so I can go check on your mother" he replied. He walked toward my mom and began talking to her. Elijah was right next to me by the time I turned around. "Thanks Elijah. I really mean it. You've done countless things to save me and Klaus. I thank you for it. I owe you" I said. "I'd love for your permission to date your mother Caroline" he said sweetly. I nodded " Yes you may Elijah". He hugged me. "I'll be good to her. I promise you" he said. He walked over to my mom "Excuse me Klaus, Elizabeth would you care to join me for some dinner?" He asked. "Sure. Although I'm not exactly ready" she said looking down at her clothes. "You look beautiful. Don't worry about it" he replied. Klaus and I watched them leave together. "Are all your brothers charmers?" I asked. "Not as charming as myself" he laughed as he picked me up. "What makes you think that?" I asked him. "I do have the most beautiful woman in my arms at the moment, no?" He smiled. "At least you're right about one thing" I giggled. He kissed me sweetly. His lips were soft and his tongue tasted of blood when he must've fed. I was a vampire before so the taste didn't bother me.
"Klaus" I called. "Yes love?" He responded. "What was that? Back at the cave?" I asked. He hesitated. He didn't want to answer me. "Caroline. You know better than anyone when a vampire is starved they become driven by one thing. Blood. I couldn't help myself. I haven't had blood for days and when I smelled yours I went insane. Not only because it was blood but because it was your blood" he explained. "Elijah told me about what happened between you and Alexander" I said. He was silent for a moment. "It's true. I can't change my past Caroline. But I refuse to have someone try and hurt you for it" he replied. He carried me upstairs to our bed and laid me down. "I'm going to kill him for what he did to you" he promised. He sat next to me and pushed the hair from my face. "Have I told you how much it means to me that you decided to take the cure. Aside from almost ripping the world apart when I thought you were gone. I'm happy that you're human and alive and well" he said to me. "I don't know how much longer I can take it. I feel out of place Klaus" I explained. "Love. I always told you I'd be right here every step of the way. And I meant it. I love you and ill do anything for you sweetheart" he said. His accent was one of the things I absolutely adored about him. I know I mocked him most of the time but it was all out of love.
We were both tired but managed to talk till we fell asleep. It felt amazing to be in his presence again. To feel his touch, his kiss and even hear his voice. Tonight I could sleep in peace with Klaus next to me.
