Please remember to review at the end!

Morning came too soon for Caroline, but she didn't let that stop the smile from forming on her face. It was a beautiful day, like yesterday. She sighed as she thought of what had happened yesterday.

Someone had been watching her. She was sure of it. Someone had watched her tend to her flowers, and wash her hands. She had even called out, but no one had answered.

She knew she wasn't crazy. She knew someone had watched her. The only question was, who? Who would be watching her?

She sighed, as she climbed out of her cotton sheet covered bed, and walked through the quaint cottage she lived in when spring needed tending too. It wasn't much, but she loved it. The simple things.

Other gods and goddesses frowned on her lifestyle, but she didn't need much to tend to the spring that covered Mystic Falls every year.

Stripping out of her nightgown, she pulled on her quaint light green dress with gold embroidery on the bodice, and cap sleeves, revealing her milky white skin.

Looking in the mirror, she pulled her hair back in a ponytail, leaving her bangs draping down her forehead.

She sighed as she took in her appearance. She didn't look much like the Goddess of Spring, according to many of her friends, but she only shrugged them off. The only that mattered was she did her job. She tended to the flowers, and everything that came with spring.

The only way a lot of people could tell who she was, was her light. Her light shone brighter on some days, when she was happy and content. Some days, her light was a flicker of light. Mainly when she felt her loneliness breaks through.

She wanted to experience love. She wanted to know what it felt like to be loved so strong that he would do anything to ensure her happiness. She wanted someone to hold her, and never let her go.

She sighed as she grasped the oak dresser in her room. She would never find love. No man would want to even look at her, not because she was the Goddess of Spring, but because she was always picked last. No man would ever give her the time of day.

She had thought she found love with Damon, the god of wine and Sea, but he was only using her. She was a fool to believe that he wanted her, when he only wanted to get even with Katherine, the goddess of wisdom and hearth. She ended up with her heart broken, and the laughing stock of the Mystic Gods.

She vowed then, she would never risk her heart. It was too painful. She knew her mother, the goddess of the seasons, understood, but it didn't help ease the pain.

All she had in this world was her mother. She would be lost if anything happened to her mother. She was thankful the Bennetts had decided to turn both her and her mother into goddesses. She never fully understood why the Bennetts chose her, but she was grateful to finally be chosen for something, besides her friend Elena.

Not that she didn't love her friend, it's just she wanted to finally be chosen for something. Caroline smiled as she thought about it. She was chosen for something. She was immortal. Elena was still human.

Caroline smiled once more as she left the cottage, and headed to the meadow, where she was going to look after the wild flowers.

Her smile widened as the flowers began to follow her as she walked. Even when she was human, the flowers followed her, because of her light. She never could explain it.

She entered the middle of the meadow, and opened her arms wide, as closed her eyes, she felt her power began to exert outwards to the flowers and soil. She felt the soil, flowers, and grass become connected with her as she began to twirl around the center of the meadow.

As she twirled, she became unaware of someone entering her meadow. Soon she felt the plants cry out, as the intruder came further into the meadow.

Caroline stopped and turned her head, and saw no one, just like yesterday.

"Who's there?" She called out, dropping her arms, and looking around her.

She felt the plants shiver as the person came closer. Her eyes widened as fear gripped her. "Is someone there?" She asked, her voice quivering.

She turned her head, and then her body, trying to find whoever it was that was disturbing her plants. "Please, answer me." She replied, fear from the plants becoming stronger.

Suddenly, she heard a chuckle from behind her. With fear in her heart, and determination in her eyes, she turned around.

"You asked for an answer, goddesses, and I gave you one." A voice replied, in a deep accent that made her shiver in fear.

"Who are you? Show yourself!" She replied, taking a step backwards.

"Well, since you asked so nicely." The voice replied, again, seeming to follow her.

Caroline gasped as a handsome man appeared in front of her. He was dressed in blue jeans, typical of the modern age in Mystic Falls, wearing a dark gray Henley shirt. His hair was cropped short with tiny ringlets on the top of his head, and sparkled in the sun with a golden brown hue. He had an almost beard on his face, his mouth was tilted in an evil smirk. Caroline lifted her eyes to his, and they widened as the deep blue eyes, which didn't seem to hold any kindness in them, displayed a possessive, lustful look about them.

She stepped back, and narrowed her eyes. "Who are you?" She asked, continuing her trek backward.

Klaus stepped forward, following her. "I'm hurt, love." He replied, placing his hand over his heart. "My name is Klaus." He added, eyeing her up and down, like a predator eyeing his prey.

Caroline stilled. "Lord of the Underworld." She whispered, her eyes widening.

"Ah, so you have heard of me," He replied, with a smirk on his lips. "Fantastic." He whispered, stepping towards her.

"What do you want from me?" She asked, realizing they were near the tree line.

Klaus smiled devilishly. "I want you, Goddess." He answered, with a shrug of his shoulders.

Caroline narrowed her eyes once more. "I'm not a piece of meat, Klaus." She stated, continuing backward.

Klaus pursed his lips. "No, you, my dear, are a work of art, and I intend to collect." He replied, menacingly.

Caroline scoffed. "You can't collect people, Klaus." She replied, looking behind her.

Klaus chuckled, causing Caroline to shiver in fear. "No, but I can collect art." He replied, with a raise of his brow.

Caroline swallowed. "I'm not art, Klaus. I'm a person. A human being." She spat out at him.

He shook his head. "No, when you became a god, you became more than a human and yes, you are art. You are perfection." He replied, with a sinister look in his eyes.

Caroline moved backwards, further into the tree line. "That doesn't mean I'm yours." She replied, thinking of how she was going to get away from him.

He chuckled. "Not yet, but you will be." He whispered, closing the distance between them.

Caroline shook her head. "I will never be yours, you monster!" She shouted, moving her arms up, creating bushes in between them, and knowing it wouldn't stop him for long, but it would distract him long enough for her to get away.

Klaus growled as she began to run away from him. He shook his head. "Very clever, Caroline, but that won't stop me!" He shouted, at her retreating back.

With a wave of his hand, he moved the bushes away from him, and strode after her. He watched as she moved her hand once more and the trees vines created a wall between him and her.

He had to give her credit. She was a bright determined girl. Too bad, she wouldn't last long in this fight.

Caroline ran until she made it to her protected cottage. He couldn't follow her in there. He couldn't. She slowed down, and turned around, checking around to make sure he wasn't around.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see him. Giving a faint smile, that she had lost him, she turned to head into her cottage.

Unfortunately her victory was short lived when she felt arms wrap around her waist, and pulled her against a warm body.

She struggled to get free, but still when she heard his voice at her ear.

"I don't fool that easily, Caroline." He whispered, in her ear. "And the sooner you learn this important lesson, the easier things will be." He added, sternly.

She struggled against his hold and ground out. "What lesson?" She asked, trying to break free.

"I always get what I want." He stated, harshly, beginning to drag her off.

"No!" She screamed, into the quiet woods. "Let me go!" She shouted, trying with all her might to break free of his grasp, but he was stronger than she was so it was hopeless.

"Let me go, you monster! Beast!" She shouted, continuing her struggles.

Klaus chuckled, but didn't know why his heart hurt at her words. "I will, once you are home." He whispered, as he closed his eyes for the incantation.

Caroline felt tears pour down her face. "I was home! I'll never be yours!" She screamed at him, as the portal opened up, and they disappeared into the depths of the underworld.

The Bennetts smiled as they watched the scene unfold.

"So it has begun." They said together, bowing their heads in unison.

What did you think? Remember, I love constructive criticism, but keep it kind. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. (I don't mean to sound mean about it, and I hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings about it.)
