Chapter 29

A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.

Caroline was having a drink at the Mystic Grill and went through her messages. It had been two days since Klaus had left to New Orleans. Caroline had chosen to stay for Rebekah's sake and to make sure that Kol would stay out of trouble. She sighed, she missed Klaus though. She desperately craved to be near him. She stopped on a message when she heard his voice.

"Caroline, I am standing in one of my favorite places in the world, surrounded by food, art, culture and all I can think about is how much I want to show it to you. Maybe one day you'll let me." Caroline sighed. She knew that Klaus knew that she had seen New Orleans. But he wanted to be able to show her things with her. She hadn't been to New Orleans in a century. She wondered how things have changed. She took another sip.

"Why are you here?" Caroline turned to Rebekah.

"Getting a drink." Rebekah shook her head.

"No. I mean why are you here? In Mystic Fall. I can see it on your face. You want to go to my brother." She said. Caroline looked at her.

"I just wanted to make sure that you are alright. You know with the whole Silas thing and all. I think it would have been better for me to stick around." Rebekah raised an eyebrow.

"Caroline, Kol is here. I think we can look out for each other. You should go be with my brother. You make each other very happy." Rebekah glanced at her phone. "And besides looks like he is already missing you." Caroline smiled to her.

"Kind of amazed you're not grossed out about it." Rebekah chuckled and smirked.

"Well it's been a thousand years and you were together when you were human. I am just use to it. Besides you put Nik in a better mood." She said. Caroline nodded and watched as Rebekah glanced to Matt almost longingly. Caroline raised an eyebrow.

"So someone likes the quarterback?" She smirked. Rebekah blushed.

"Yeah well we have talked. But I don't think he likes me as much as I like him." She said.

"Perhaps you should try being nicer. You know being good. Showing him that there is more to you than the original vampire in you." Caroline told her. Rebekah looked at her.

"You know what, your right. If I want him to like me, I have to be nice." Rebekah walked over to Matt and began trying to strike up a conversation. Caroline turned to leave the bar and headed to her car. She couldn't help but think about Klaus. She already wanted to see him in New Orleans.


Bonnie sat with Kol in the basement as Kol was trying to help her fade the Expression within her and bring out her true traditional magic back. She concentrated on the true magic that she was born with, within her trying to push back the Expression. She concentrated on the candle trying to light it like she had done when she used traditional. She groaned.

"Ugh, I can't do it. Silas was right the magic is just going to consume me." She put her head in her hands. Kol stood and walked over to her.

"You're trying too hard. It's suppose to be naturally." He put his hands on her shoulders that made her shiver. "Just relax and let you true magic take control not the Expression just the natural. Take a deep breath and just feel the magic and push aside the other." His fingers brushed against her shoulders and she closed her eyes liking the feeling of his touch but concentrated all the more. She felt a pull inside her gut but it was slightly different from the Expression that she had gotten use to. It was a light tug, and when she opened her eyes she found the candle lit. She smiled and looked to Kol who smirked.

"See, that wasn't- he stopped when Bonnie hugged him. He froze feeling her arms wrap around him. Bonnie was use to some affection. And she didn't even stop herself when she hugged Kol.

"Thank you," She said. Bonnie finally realized that she was still hugging him and let go blushing. Kol raised an eyebrow before nodding.

"You're welcome," He said. "Now let's do it again or we can hug some more if you wish. Don't worry though all girls hug me eventually. I am the most handsome original." She rolled her eyes and punched his arm lightly.

Caroline kept hearing Klaus's message in her head repeating. Her heart and soul was just aching to be with him. She needed him. She looked at his phone number before she dialed it. She groaned when she got his voice mail.

"Klaus, it's Caroline. Mystic Falls is in one piece. Kol is helping Bonnie with her magic. Rebekah is trying to make some friends. And the Salvatore brothers are trying to get the doppelganger to turn on her humanity after her little stunt at the prom. Look with everything going on and you leaving that message I just stand being away from you. And all I can think about is just having you near, to see you, your smile. I just…I miss you…" She trailed off before she hung up the phone and glanced to her suitcase. She couldn't believe that she had been here for almost a year now when she had only come up to help Elena that night at the ball. She had basically made the hotel her home. She also realized that she had never gotten back to her witch Christine. She had told Christine that she would come back soon. But she had to keep calling back and tell her she had to stay. Caroline had made up her mind. She dialed Christine's number. "Hey Christine, I know it been a while but I think I have some business to do, up in New Orleans. Call me when you get this."

Note: Caroline is on her way to New Orleans. Don't worry its still when Klaus has arrived in New Orleans. Caroline is going to help Klaus and Elijah. But how will she feel when a certain someone is there. Reviews thanks.
