Summary: After having the cure shoved down her throat, Caroline goes to the only person in the world who wouldn't hand her over to Silas. Only to find her in the arms of another. Distraught, she leaves. So when Silas finally catches up to her, and hears what happens - saying he's unhappy about what happened to his favorite ship, would be an understatement. He's gonna get this damn ship to sail, even if he has to push it off shore himself.

Today's Special

I look at you and try not to fall in love.

But that smile.

That damned smile.

Always makes my heart skip a beat.

~Unknown

Caroline couldn't help but nervously look over her shoulder. She needed to find Klaus, and she needed to do it fast.

In such a large city, Silas could be anyone in the crowd.

She fidget with her phone in her hands for a minute, before trying to call him again. But like all the other tries, the call once again went to voicemail.

It had been three days on the road, since she had turned human. God, what was she thinking getting between Elena and Katherine. Whatever it may have been, she never expected to be turned human again.

Out of all her friends, she was the one who loved being a vampire the most.

"You like being strong, ageless, fearless…"

Caroline flinched as Klaus' words rang out in her head.

She was none of those things right now.

Would he even want her?

"You are the only stupid thing here and shallow and useless"

"You know what I think of Caroline Forbes. She's an insecure, neurotic , bitchy little twit."

"I don't like you. I never have."

Caroline flinched as Damon, Tyler and Matt's words repeated through her head like a broken record. They have been since Stefan told her to get in the car, and drive to New Orleans. Saying that he and Bonnie would distract Silas for as long as they could.

She was scared.

No, she was absolutely terrified.

She hated herself when she was human.

Everyone did.

So why wouldn't Klaus?

Caroline sighed and tried again, after three rings, he finally picked. "Klaus-"

The blond was cut off by the voice on the other end, "I don't care. My brother left his phone at home. So whatever you want him for, can wait till tomorrow." The voice of the only female original rang out.

Caroline's relief that someone had picked up, quickly turned into panic.

"Wait, wait. Please! Rebekah, don't hang up. I'm in New Orleans. I really need his help. Can you please tell me where I can find him. It's urgent." Caroline pleaded.

The vampire must have heard the desperation in her voice, because she sighed. "He can usually be found at Rousseau's during this time. I'll text you the address." With that, she hung up.

Caroline sighed in relief. A second later, a ping came. Typing it into google maps, Caroline quickly began speed walking towards the bar.

The blond walked into the bar, to find it pretty packed, especially for this time in the day.

Her eyes scanned the bar, smiling when she saw Klaus in a booth. She smiled and began approaching him.

She walked closer, but paused, seeing another woman sitting next to him. Klaus had his arm swung around the woman, pulling her close to his side. Well his other hand was on the table, holding the women's.

Caroline could only stand there, with wide eyes. Like a deer in headlights. she felt like somebody had poured ice cold water on all over. The chill seeped through her skin and bones, and settled around her heart. Suffocating her heart.

Caroline forced her tear glazed eyes to look away, when someone bumped into her. Still in a haze, the she turned around, and ran out of the bar.

She had no idea where she was going. And all thoughts of Silas had fled her brain. All she knew was she needed to get away from that bar. From that sight.

Caroline stopped running once her body couldn't take anymore. She sat down in an alley, resting her tired body against a wall.

As Caroline leaned against the wall, she couldn't stop her tears from finally spilling.

Plus, he may have said he'd be my last love, but he never said anything about me being his last.

Of course he had moved on. How could she be so stupid.

She was nothing but a toy to him, to distract him from the boredom of Mystic Falls.

"Well what do we have here?" A voice taunted.

Caroline rose her head up, through blurry eyes she could make out a face. "Stefan?"

"Wrong. Try again." He smirked.

"Silas." Caroline shook.

Silas smirked, "Correct."

To his surprise, Caroline just lowered her head, baring her neck she sighs. "Just get it over with."

"You're giving up? Just like that?" He asked. When Caroline stayed silent, he grew angry. "What about Stefan, Bonnie, your mother?" When the blond still chose to stay silent, he decided to bring out the big guns. "What about Klaus?"

Silas got his reaction. But it wasn't one he wanted. Instead of fighting, Caroline flinched. "What happened?" he asked, wondering what could possibly have happened to break the fighter in her. Didn't she know. If she screamed even once, the big bad hybrid would come running to her rescue.

"Why do you care?" Caroline scoffed.

The immortal smirked. Deciding to mess with her further, he answered, "I'm over a thousand years old. Call it boredom."

A look of hurt flashed in Caroline's eyes. "Yeah, turns out that's all it was."

Silas blinked suddenly, growing concerned with his favorite couple. "What do you mean?"

"It means he's going to be my last love, but I won't be his." Caroline answered, getting up. "So just get it over with."

Ah, now he got it. No wonder she wasn't fighting him. She'd already used it all up. She'd risked everything to make the trek to New Orleans. Because she knew it would be worth it. She'd have someone here who she believed loved her unconditionally.

Was waiting for her.

Could help her,

protect her.

Someone she felt safe with.

And now, she lost it.

Silas stared at her. Once the cure is out of her system, she will start rapidly aging to her real age. Since she would be around 19. After that was done, some original blood could easily change her into a vampire once again. She would be perfectly fine, aside from no longer being 17 forever.

The immortal smirked, but the hybrid certainly didn't know that.

Silas lunged for neck and began the process that would eventually give him what he wanted. To be human, and start the chain reaction that will sail his ship.

Klaus slammed the door close behind him and marched straight towards the their home bar. Pouring himself a drink, he shot it down, and refilled it.

Honestly, if it wasn't for the plan. He would have snapped that bartender's neck weeks ago. He had to spend the last three hours listening to her drone on and on about what she thought of him, and his issues. Trying to get him to work them out.

'As if.' He thought, scoffing.

There was only one woman in the world who could speak to him like that. Because she was the only one aside from his family we truly knew him.

Rebekah raised an eyebrow at her brother. "What?" Klaus snapped.

"Nothing." Rebekah shrugged. "I just figured you'd be in a better mood."

"What on earth do you mean Rebekah?" Klaus asked, taking a sip of his drink.

"What I mean is, you should be in a great mood. Sure she must have gotten what she wanted, and then left. But even when she uses you, you're more happy to provide. Must be some wolfy thing about knowing that she needs you." The eternal teenager scoffed.

Geez, why was her brother in such a bad mood. After coming back from graduation last month, he was smiling nonstop for weeks.

Klaus glared at his sister, failing to understand what she meant. "Why the hell would I be happy after spending an evening with Camille?"

Now it was Rebekah's turn to look confused, "I'm talking about Caroline."

Klaus instantly sat up straighter. "What about Caroline?"

"You left your phone at home. She had been trying to reach you several times. I decided to pick up. She sounded like she was in trouble, so I directed her to you." Rebekah answered.

Klaus' eyebrows furrowed, "I never saw her." he growled, and went to his room to grab his phone. Wanting to make sure his sister wasn't messing with him.

The hybrid let out a curse as he noticed 26 missed calls from the blond. Out of all the days he could have left his phone behind, it had to be today.

From the looks of it, it seemed like she had tried to desperately reach him. Yet he hadn't seen her today.

What if something had happened to her!

Klaus' eyes then widened as he took in the time of the call Rebekah accepted and realized what must have happened. She must have seen him with Cami, and gotten the wrong idea.

Dammit!

What good was being a hybrid if his senses wouldn't pick one baby vampire.

He cursed Camille, deep down he knew it was his fault. If he hadn't gone to his default setting of seduction, then he wouldn't be in this mess.

And he would have been staring into Caroline's bright eyes by now.

Klaus instantly dialed her number, his heartbeat picking up speed as he waited for her to pick up.

A recently turned human Silas, hummed a tune, as he waited for a call. Caroline's phone then began ringing and he smirked.

The ex-immortal decided to let it ring for a while. Poor Caroline had tried so hard to reach him, and he had ignored her. Let him be the one doing the waiting for once.

Finally after the seventh ring, he decided to pick up. "Hello, Caroline Forbes phone, how may I help you?" Silas smirked, choosing not to use Caroline's voice. He decided to change his as well, not wanting to waste his time explaining the second line of doppelgangers to the hybrid.

A growl rang across the line, causing Silas to laugh. "What did you do to her? Where is she?" Klaus demanded.

"Now, now." Silas almost mocked. "That isn't very nice. The poor girl was crying when I found her."

"What did you do to her?" Klaus repeated.

"Hmm, I simply drank the cure from her. As we speak, her cells are rapidly aging. A side effect of the cure being drained out of her you see. She's currently at 19. In 15 minutes she'll be 20. In half an hour, she'll be 21." Silas smirked, leaving out the fact that her cells would automatically stop aging once time caught up to her and she reached the age she was meant to be.

"Silas." Klaus growled.

"Ding, ding, ding! Someone get the hybrid a prize!" Silas said cheerfully. "Your poor Caroline has turned human, too bad for her. I would have preferred to drain someone else, but well, beggars can't be choosers."

"If you touch her-"

"Too late for that I'm afraid." Silas answered. "The process can't be stopped now."

"I'm thinking of ending her. But I wonder, whose face should I wear when I rip out her heart? Damon, her tormentor? Tyler the one who ran away from her? Or I know, you! I mean she'd already had a practice test when you practically ripped out her heart." Silas said, enjoying how quiet Klaus had gotten.

"You should have seen her when she realized what your promises really meant to her. The one who promised her forever. Or did you. The second you're away you decide to find a knock off. She came to you, in her vulnerable state. Hoping you, the only one person she thought actually cared for her. You would protect her. Only to find you with Cimberly, or Clammy. Whatever her name was." Silas taunted, purposely getting the bartenders name wrong.

"I personally always loved the originals. I mean you should have met my Amara. Tatia? Katherine? Elena? Those girls had nothing on my women." Silas said, his voice growing fond at the mention of his sweet, kind, love. "As a man who's been around as long as you have. I thought you of all people wouldn't have been fickle when it came to love. Oh I should probably stop rambling now."

"Camille means nothing to me." Klaus growled, sick of the accusations. "She was only a means to an end."

Silas felt a smile appear on his face. Good, that's all she was. He wasn't above killing an interlopers that might get in the way of his couple.

"That's nice to know. I wonder if Caroline knows that. Or will she die with a broken heart. As I, or should I say, you, rip her heart out." Silas chuckled, time to give the hybrid his final push.

"Like I said. I'm tempted to just kill her and put her out of her agony."

"I swear if you touch her-"

"What? You'll kill me? You forget hybrid. That's what I want. You know, I never got a chance to say goodbye to my love. But I'm nothing like the bitch who cursed me, so feel free to say goodbye to her. She's at hotel De Juxine, room number 11."

The second Klaus heard the name of the hotel, he was running towards the hotel at full speed. He took the alleys that he knew like the back of his hand, so he wouldn't be slowed down.

Within five minutes Klaus was throwing open the door to Caroline's room. He found the recently turned human in a bed, peacefully sleeping.

But she definitely looked older. Her features had lost a hint of their baby fat, but still kept their softness. Her hair was a brighter gold, well her chest and hips seemed fuller.

Klaus was unable to enjoy the change, as the threat of Caroline's rapid age still hung over him, like a nose ready to choke him the second his love drew her last breath.

"Caroline." Klaus called, gently waking the women, as if she was made out of porcelain.

The blond the bed groaned, before her eyes fluttered open. She stared at Klaus, taking him in a sleep induced haze.

As she shifted, Klaus got a good look at her neck, and what he saw, made his blood boil. Dark punctures, crusted with blood printed the front of her scapula. With dark purple bruises framing them.

Her eyes widened as she remembered what led her here, and she quickly sat up, and backed up until her back hit the corner of a bed frame. "What are you doing here?" she demanded.

"I'm here for you. Silas called-"

Caroline shook her head, "You got what you wanted. Congratulations. I was the dumb blond that actually thought you loved her. You can leave now."

A look of surprised flashed across Klaus face, "Caroline-"

"What? Why are you still here?" She shouted, the frustration of the last 24 hours finally catching up to her. "Do you want a banner reading 'You are the winner'? Do you want me to admit that you won! That I actually thought that there could be a forever with you. That you cared. That I loved you!" The blond sobbed hysterically.

Any anger that he may have at her refusal to listen to a word he said, was quickly overconsumed by the joy he felt at hearing her last three words. Klaus gently wrapped his arms around the women. "Caroline. The woman you saw me at the bar with was Camille. I'm only using her to get to Marcel. I still want an eternity with you. To show you the world. I'm willing to wait however long it takes. I want to be your last love, but I also intend for you to be my last."

Caroline smiled weakly at him, "But I can't, can I? I'm dying…" She guessed, by the look on Klaus face, she was right.

"Klaus. You are my last love. But I can't be yours. I've seen the good in you, but now I need you to show it to someone else." Caroline told him.

Klaus shook his head, "I can't. I refuse to."

Caroline cupped his cheek, "Klaus. Please. You're going to be around for a long time. I don't want you to be alone. You can love. I know you can. So please… be happy."

Klaus opened his mouth, but was cut off by a kiss on his lips. It was slow, savoring every second, knowing they may never get the chance again.

Caroline let a tear fall down her cheek as she pulled away, "I'm sorry I waited too long… If I could, I'd do anything to see the world with you again."

"You can." A voice called out to them.

Klaus pulled Caroline close to his chest, wrapping his arms protectively around her. His eyes flashed amber as Silas appeared, in the form of a random man he had met on the streets.

"Silas." Klaus growled, getting ready to rip his throat out.

The man had a packet of popcorn in his hands and was munching on it. "Damn this was good. You guys really are perfect for each other."

Klaus got ready to lunge at Silas, but was stopped by Caroline putting a hand on his arm. "What do you mean by 'You can'?" She asked.

"Oh nothing much. Just that since the cure is now out of your system, and you are now soon going to be back to the age you would be if you weren't turned. The cure has completed its purpose, and your hubby there can feed you his blood, and you can become a vampire again." Silas answered cheerfully.

Klaus and Caroline blinked. "So all that… was what? For nothing?" Caroline screeched.

Silas looked offended, "What do you mean nothing? I'm human and can join my one true love. And me playing up your condition finally allowed you two to get together. It's a win for Klaroliners everywhere."

"Klaroliners?" Klaus asked, a vein on his forehead twitching.

"Yeah, you know. Me, Stefan, Bonnie, Kol - I'm pretty sure he had an idea of what was going on, Elijah, Katherine - she is the one who turned Caroline dearest into a vampire, Oh Amara would have loved you, she's always been a sucker for a good love story. I can't wait to tell her about you guys." Silas chuckled.

"Now if you excuse me. I have to reunite with my one true love." Before Silas could walk out, Klaus called him.

"Amara isn't dead. One of my vampires found a doppelganger statue, well on the hunt for the doppelganger during the time of the sun and moon curse. It had a heart beat in it. My brother Kol asked me to leave it alone before I daggered him. He sounded quite serious when he said that, so I gave it to him. I'm pretty sure she's still alive. She's currently in an abandoned cabin in the woods off of what is now highway 268." Klaus told him.

Silas looked back at Klaus and smiled. At that moment, the two men had a silent understanding.

They truly would do anything for their women;

And from this moment onwards, they were even.

But if they ever needed help protecting their loves, they could call on the other.

I laughed well writing the last little bit of Silas' part. It was kind of crack, but I thought it was funny and couldn't resist putting it in there. (Plus, I kind of owed it to you guys after the angst)

Was the last line clingy? Maybe. Will I look back on this that it was a bad idea? Likely. Did I still add it, yes. Because I wanted it now.

I honestly only added the last little bit because Silas loved Amara so much, and him dying only to find out she was alive would be so sad.

School work is picking up pace again. So updates will likely slow down. I'm gonna try and write a little bit every day. I want to. But with how much work I have. I might not be able to. So I figured I should give you guys a heads up.

I can not tell you how much I loved this video:

klaus & caroline | from a to z {alphabet}

It was simply amazing! If I ever have kids, this is how I'm going to teach them the alphabet.

Anyways,

KLAROLINE FOR LIFE BECAUSE I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP!
