I own nothing other than my OC

Klaus POV:

I sat in my leather armchair swirling my scotch around in its glass while watching Cotton play with a little ball of tin foil that Rebekah had thrown it to play with while she fed Ami.

The loud slamming of the front door jolted my thoughts as Kol flew in the room and growled, attracting not only mine but my siblings' attention as both Elijah and Rebekah swept into the room.

Finn had taken mother to recuperate her powers a few days ago, she planned on returning within a week and throwing a grand ball as a family reunion.

"Gabe has taken Mia!" Kol growled out as his eyes were flickering between his natural brown and darkened red while the veins were distorting his usually handsome face and his fangs were bared in warning like a cornered animal.

"What? Gabe? What's he doing here and why did he take Mia?" Rebekah shrieked. Apparently Ami was sitting in the dining room still eating if my hearing was correct.

"Mia and I were kissing. Gabe came up and said that I still owed him, I denied it saying it was even the moment Nik daggered me and I left pulling Mia with me but it seems he didn't agree as moments later my neck was snapped. I awoke to find these next to me and Mia gone!" Kol said, throwing Mia's black framed glasses on the coffee table centered between the seats.

"What do you think he will do to her?" Rebekah murmured to what I think was herself.

"I have no clue, but he crossed the line and now he needs to die!" Kol growled before Elijah took him from the room to get him to calm a little and be more level headed, Elijah always had the ability to make people think another way and calm them with his stiff posture and the fact he has spent more time communicating with humans then the rest of us over the last thousand years.

"I need to put Ami to bed then we can start planning, he won't damage her too badly if he wants Kol to come for her but a plus side is, he shouldn't be expecting us considering we aren't known for helping humans." Rebekah said, sighing before waltzing from the room, but even I could see the worry in her forest green eyes as she went to look after the youngest Dell.

I sighed before shooting back the rest of my scotch and remembered how easy it was for Mia to worm into my heart and become one of the few people I class as friends.

FLASHBACK

I strolled into my Alaric's classroom confidently after compelling a random student if she knew the way, Dana I think her name was.

I instantly spotted my little doppelganger, sitting between a dark skinned girl with long brown curls pouring down her back and Stefan, my old 'drinking' buddy. Sadly though he seems to have turned his emotions on and by the looks of it fallen for my latest doppelganger.

I inwardly sighed before leaning against Alaric's ... well now my desk and looking over the rest of the class.

"So class what are we learning today?" I asked casually hoping that the personality wasn't too off.

"The 60's, we've been studying it all week because of the 60's dance tonight" The same girl from earlier, Dana said from the front of the class making me smile slightly before grimacing

Never much liked the 60's.

"Well, I wish there was something good to say about the 60's but, it actually sucked. Apart from the Beatles – they made it bearable. Um what else, there was the Cuban missile thing. Walking on the moon ... um Watergate-"My little doppelganger chose to interrupt me making me repress a smirk.

"Watergate was the 70's Ric, Um ... I mean Mr Saltzman." She amended when people gave her peculiar looks.

Grinning at her blush I apologized.

"Right right, sorry Elena it all sort of mashes up – the sixties, seventies" I said before continuing.

The rest of the lesson continued quickly, thankfully one of the little gang of friends that my doppelganger seemed to have was in each of my classes.

The next class had a blonde happy vampire, who I believed was called Caroline. She truly was beautiful, a rounded face giving a youthful look of peace; large round eyes a perfect turquoise color making my mouth water. Pink lips that looked bee stung and high cheekbones giving an impression of royalty. And her hair was like a waterfall of pure gold pouring down her back in little waves and curls making me repress a groan in pleasure.

Shame she was going to most likely be my vampire sacrifice unless I found a more suitable choice.

Then it was lunch, compelling the same girl from my first class Dana. I got her to pass a little message to keep the doppelganger on her toes, just to see what they would do.

Then I had the younger brother, Jeremy. Then Tyler, my little werewolf sacrifice and the Mayor's son. And in my final class I had a blonde boy who knew nothing of vampires or werewolves to my knowledge but was a close friend and passed lover of my doppelganger.

I got an overall feel of each student who associated with my doppelganger and made sure to memorize them in case they decided to get around my plans. Which I had no doubt they would try.

In my final class I could feel the students tense up and excitement pour out as they were eager to get out and start preparing for the dance which started in three hours or so.

When the bell finally rang I repressed laughing as the teenagers all but ran from the room to start getting ready.

All except one student. She was about 5ft 4 with a slim figure and small curves. Basic and natural features which were absent of make up gave her a very plain appearance which didn't argue with her plain jeans and top.

She had started to walk around the room picking up odd pens, papers, books a couple of students left behind and placing the chairs on top of the desks for the cleaners to be able to sweep the floors easier.

I frowned and leaned my white board unsure of what to do.

"Ric, I know Klaus has alerted Elena to being in town, so can you please remind Caroline to message me the details tonight as she and the Scooby's left before I could ask..." The girl trailed off.

I was shocked, so she knew of vampires, and in turn me? Hmm then why wasn't she with the rest of the 'gang' as they no doubt started to plan against me?

"Of course, though you could come with me to the Salvatore house, I doubt they meant to forget you luv." I said freezing slightly when luv came out and my accent was slightly British.

I heard her freeze and from the corner of my eye I saw her look at me, which I turned and looked back at her too.

She knew something was up.

"...You know Elena would mind. And she meant to forget me..." She murmured before hesitantly turning around and grabbing her bag.

So she didn't get along with Elena. Hmm.

"I got to go, no doubt Caroline will want me there tonight..." She groaned slightly before leaving the room as I watched in slight interest.

I shrugged and packed my bag up before heading to Alaric's small car frowning in distaste at the many vampire weapons in the trunk before driving to the boarding house wanting to know a little more about the odd girl.

I almost growled in annoyance at now knowing her name before shrugging.

Once I pulled up I strolled through the front door and headed to the parlor where the voices were flowing from.

I stayed silent mostly only slipping in an odd comment to say not to underestimate me. They ignored it, making me mentally roll my eyes.

I kept my eyes on Caroline, she was texting.

"Caroline, who are you texting?" I asked finally when most of the conversation was over, she started before biting her lip.

"You were texting Mia weren't you?!" My little doppelganger spat making my eyes widen slightly, never before have I seen such a look of annoyance and disgust in the doppelgangers eyes which wasn't directed at me!

Mia, that must be the girl from earlier.

"She deserves to know Elena, just because you don't like her it doesn't mean she should be completely unprepared!" the small blonde hissed making Damon and Stefan tense as I watched in interest.

"She doesn't need to know! She isn't in danger and it's not as though her knowing would make any difference! Klaus won't go after her, she would have horrid leverage!" She growled back before Caroline snapped and her fangs popped out and her eyes swirled into black.

"Elena, if I were in her position I would like to know and remember she offered help to keep you alive and all you have basically said is that you don't care if Klaus were to kill her in which her death would be your fault and you would be just like Katherine! Uncaring and not giving a damn about others lives!" Caroline growled and I suppressed a smirk before seeing Caroline storm from the room and I followed her as she muttered she needed to get ready for tonight.

"Are you OK?" I asked when she started walking, she paused and turned to me in surprise.

"No, just because Elena is a doppelganger and this is all because of her doesn't mean she has to say my friend is practically worthless! I mean Mia risked her life for Elena and Elena said she should have stayed out the way! It is cruel! And unfair, Mia doesn't deserve it." Caroline murmerd after wiping her eyes, erasing some threatening tears.

I motioned for her if she would like a lift as Bonnie had given her a lift, she nodded and got in Alaric's car as I got in the driver's side and pulled out towards her home.

"What do you mean Mia risked her life for Elena?" I asked finally.

"I thought you knew? On the night of the 50's dance a vampire attacked Elena and threw her into a room because of looking like Katherine. Mia saw and stabbed the vampire, this was before she knew of vampires and she was just walking along the halls, anyway the vampire threw her into some tables where she got stabbed thru the abdomen. Elena had tried running away ignoring Mia but the blood had attracted Damon and Stefan, Damon healed her and they found out she couldn't be compelled. It was then I had explained to her as Elena had said she didn't need to know and the Salvatore's didn't want to annoy Elena as she had gone through a 'traumatic' experience. So I explained it all to her. She was shocked but didn't react badly just wanted to know who to be wary of and what was going on...Elena said it didn't matter but I wanted her to know just in case. I mean I wish I had known about vampires before I became on and what if something similar happened to her?" She explained honestly with annoyance obviously towards Elena dripping from her tone.

By the time she finished explaining we had reached her home and she had thanked me before fleeing my car before I could ask anything else, so I went to Alaric's apartment and got changed, preparing for the interesting night ahead.

My thoughts were plagued with this girl Mia who couldn't be compelled and Caroline, then the fact that Bonnie the witch would try and kill me tonight effectively killing herself and getting her out of my hair.

I grinned and headed to the eventful dance.

Bonnie the little witch was dead, and my little doppelganger was crying over the bloody corpse much to my amusement.

It was only when I had reached the gym exit and headed to Alaric's car I noticed little Mia sat on a bench looking at the stars and her mobile.

I grinned and stalked towards this intriguing little girl, she saw me when I was a few feet away and hopped to her feet. So she knew enough that I was in fact Klaus in Alaric's body, this would be fun.

"Hello luv. Texting your friend Caroline, are we?" I asked, letting my British accent play through the natural American one belonging to Alaric as I stalked towards her.

"Um, no Ric, just ah looking at the stars..." She mumbled playing it that she didn't know.

Rolling my eyes I walked over the bench which was the only thing between us, she jumped back on instinct.

"You know it's me luv, or you wouldn't be so nervous in my mere presence. I hummed to her as I grasped her arm before she could get too far away.

"So I know that you are possessing Alaric's body, yes but I really need to get home-"She started rambling while pulling on her arm trying to escape my grip.

"Oh luv, I can give you a lift." I grinned, I wanted to know a little more about this little puzzle and the best way to do so was get her into the apartment for some ... quality time together.

"No thankyou Ri- Klaus..." She stammered unsure at my grin.

"That works out well really, I wasn't going to give you a ride home. But I will give you a little lift as we need to have a little ... talk." I said letting danger flash in my eyes before I swung her around and lifted her small shaking form into my arms bridal style and carried her to Alaric's car.

"No!" She thrashed finally noting she was in fact being kidnapped.

"Luv, I will knock you out if you persist in this childish behavior but I would rather talk tonight while you have a clear head than tomorrow when you are moaning about being in pain..." I said with a slight warning to my sigh.

She froze and instead slipped from my arms upon reaching the car and got straight into my pleasure.

I took her back and that night we connected, she wasn't afraid to ask me things other's were and knew enough about me to be respectful.

She even helped me and offered me blood without compulsion when I ran out much to my amusement and stayed with me until I left for Chicago, much to her annoyance when I dragged her with me but we had already established a friend like bond. The first I had had in over a thousand years.

END FLASHBACK

I stood and headed to the lounge where Elijah and Kol were standing and soon enough so did Rebekah.

"I will search the town and see if any of Gabe's little goons are present and quickly dispose of them. Rebekah stays here with the child and calls Mia's parents and says she is staying the night along with Ami, Elijah and Kol search the woods, most likely if he would take her he would have an abandoned cabin where he wouldn't have to worry if anyone heard screams." I said, they all nodded and we assured one another to call upon finding anything. Rebekah also said she would call Caroline and ask whether any of the Scooby's had seen her in case, as well as wanting Caroline to grab some clothes and things for Ami as she was staying the night.

After everything was settled we sped out looking for the one girl who has somehow managed to make each one of us retain some form of humanity.

Please review, I would love to know what you think.
