Throughout their short roadtrip, Caroline's mind was occupied with everything that needed to be done, the moment they arrived at New Orleans, while Stefan was asleep, having Katherine use his shoulders for support, like a pillow. Every now and then, Caroline would steal glances at them, thinking how cute they looked together. They would be a great couple, but they are both too stubborn to admit that./p

Besides, Caroline and Elijah had no encounters in the past, so he wouldn't think that she wanted to harm him. Taking one last breath, she dialed his phone number./p

p data-p-id="60adf2ce3e4572ba954c29ccd133f082""Yes. Now, where would you like to meet?" Caroline said to Elijah and they hung up, after they've had talked through the details of their encounter, which was planned for the noon of the same day./p

p data-p-id="dd32f283f0c928a5c8acefb098e3b006"Sitting on an armchair and drinking blood from a maid's wrist, Klaus observed his older brother's anxious state, as he was about to exit the Abattoir./p
p data-p-id="fb2b053bc72f5b79cf1456196bdd43de""Where you're headed to, brother?" Klaus asked Elijah and his muscles immediately tensed./p
p data-p-id="1c3cc7cbd0afce330c39c63077c6f898""Out for business. It may take me a while. Do not wait around for me." Elijah tried to sound convincing, but his younger sibling, Niklaus, was used to seeing under the surface of things. As per usual, Klaus was suspicious of his brother's doings, so he decided to follow him to find out with whom he'd meet./p
p data-p-id="56af428e9bf1394b2139297b992f3d03"To say he was shocked, when he realized his brother met with Caroline, was an understatement. Yet, he did not come out of his hiding spot just to see what they are up to. He had a feeling that maybe they were planning a scheme against him. For sure, he couldn't let that happen./p

p data-p-id="b7127584d961c27ae37b7a5fd7beef9f""I will. Don't doubt my intentions. And call me Caroline." She assured him, but Elijah still remained distrustful./p

p data-p-id="44dd099ccd41c22be5e27e8fc63a4f3e""No, absolutely not. I, under no means, mean to harm your family, Elijah. You can be sure of that." Elijah nodded, as to tell her to continue./p
p data-p-id="7c18f4860c182ec5140990680cba6655""So, ever since, you've left a lot has changed. But the most important is that Katherine took the cure and, thus, she aged faster than the norm. In fact, she would have died, if she hadn't swapped bodies with Elena at her final moment. However, that means that Elena doesn't really exist, until Katherine travels back to her own body or, well, dies. And since the latter is easier than the first, Katherine is in danger, until we find a way to return her to her original body."/p
p data-p-id="a39ff497cc0091267372c28dfbbbd212""And how can I be of help to any of those things?" Elijah questioned clueless as to her intentions./p
p data-p-id="6d07e2839a3bce025466a8071c6b02c8""Well, for starters, you can help us protect Katherine, in case our friends from Mystic Fallls track us down. But most importantly, I thought you may know some witch that can help with the problem we're dealing."/p
p data-p-id="72fa4e5b7a86a0019b86ab0c67027e43""I don't know. Let me do a little research and I will get back to you."/p

p data-p-id="58bd4c9432f03ea02ed7b5dfe6268566""Is Katherine okay, though?" Elijah asked worried./p
p data-p-id="8df031081c1d5b059eabb4034111d630""For now, yes. She is staying at our hotel room. She has come with me here, as well as Stefan."/p
p data-p-id="165b5072eb175a2859f2c08bf4419f32""If there is anything else, I can do for you, please feel free to contact me." Elijah told Caroline, as he took her hand in his in a friendly manner./p
p data-p-id="e225dc62941e8be3842647617bb42a23""I suppose you've already thought of that, but emplease /emdo not tell Klaus." Caroline asked of Elijah, but as soon as she spoke, Klaus appeared in sight quite angry, as well./p
p data-p-id="b7cffe423f45d621b8baf4682f69a379""Well, I guess, it's too late for that." Elijah mumbled under his breath, but of course Klaus heard him./p
p data-p-id="e0265c1436b6729d92669116ea44e17c""Late for what, brother? Kiss her?!" Klaus bursted out yelling furious./p
p data-p-id="0a286e61b5d7bef4c75b1918b05f3003""What?! Klaus, are you insane?" Caroline denied everything at once./p
p data-p-id="152b86ba2fe9420613b8c035e50ed534""Brother, we barely even talked with Caroline."/p
p data-p-id="428a645918491fee8558e9e9f7ebdb9b""Oh, so it's Caroline now. Some business, you're attending." Klaus was quivering with anger and if he were a cartoon, fumes would sure be coming out of his ears./p
p data-p-id="196acd065fc4d3f358580a5ae8bb175a""Niklaus, I demand you calm down. You're causing a scene." Elijah spoke up trying to difuse his brother's rage, while Caroline looked around at the people looking at them and felt self-conscious about what they must think of her at the moment./p
p data-p-id="3c9aee1b066288eff27de451179023a8""Please, Klaus, stop shouting. There is nothing going on between me and Elijah. We were just talking." Caroline made efforts to calm his nerves, but it was to no use. Everyone knew how livid and short-tempered Klaus could become, when he felt injusticed./p
p data-p-id="96b648557ec006d756896d1815232f42""You're touching every man you talk to, then? Interesting, I didn't know." He shot at her with resentment./p

p data-p-id="8f352da40ec8cf12d19121e385f021b7""Act like what. Like a furious man, because I am." Klaus shouted out, before Stefan snuck up behind him and snapped his neck in a second, otherwise he wouldn't have an other chance./p

p data-p-id="b57213355ebedaccdea7301f3e2175cd""Yeah, but I don't want to go down that road. I don't want to occupy him, while you are trying to find a way to help Katherine. Not again, not like I did in Mystic Falls."/p
p data-p-id="c0c3f81c7fb7e2929273651a13681acb""Caroline, it's not the same thing."/p
p data-p-id="8c8ab3f4143580e31894771083c869a7""I still feel like I, like we are using him."/p
p data-p-id="7043e1033b468a18635c755ec0e11692""Look at it this way. You are going to stay here, so you can explain him everything that went down between you and Elijah. Okay?"/p
p data-p-id="0c962708cfc5cf6acdb457eb3e9c1ea1""I am pretty sure that includes telling him why we came here and I don't think that's a good idea."/p
p data-p-id="4491b119d3749eb9c2731944e5627df2""You'll work this out. You always do. Got to go now. Good luck." Stefan waved her goodbye and closed the door behind him shut./p
p data-p-id="daaab2e1699762e97e4d11b7f8332fc3"Taking a few moments to relax before Klaus was awake, she processed how fast everything was happening. One moment they were in Mystic Falls trying to solve all of their supernatural problems and before she knew it, she has changed states only to travel all the way to New Orleans.

p data-p-id="7af779dc82fdc9fc0e304553e3c3fc35""The reason why you and my brother met in secret right under my nose."/p
p data-p-id="08051aabf4f85e286e7b84cb8fa8ea74""Well, you know. Just catching up." She threw at him that ridiculous excuse./p
p data-p-id="77ef830297dcfff41df0df1041a23947""Please, Caroline. I am not an idiot. You have never even associated with Elijah before. Now, tell me the truth. Why did you meet?"/p
p data-p-id="c6ec4162eb0ede65b40bfccdd1db7de7""Sincerely, it's none of your business." Caroline waved him off like it was nothing, which infuriated him even more./p
p data-p-id="41fe378c392bc146445f3cc5c511df8e""If only that were true, love. Anything that has to do with you is indeed my business." Klaus seemed to be more sane and in control than an hour ago./p
p data-p-id="fcb0704a88669f9ebd931de05a40abe8""Okay, now you are just creppy." Caroline commented awkwardly and Klaus chuckled at her./p
p data-p-id="de2795cca7eaf51458bc57c651d5baad""Fine, no chit-chat, then. Tell me why did you meet." Klaus insisted once more, letting go of any upbeat mood he previously had./p
p data-p-id="d94a70d89c5caef974283bdffdcf055c""Even if I wanted to tell you, I couldn't."/p
p data-p-id="ff374c79cfade1c4406f59a653b4dd49""And why is that?" Klaus questioned in doubt./p
p data-p-id="f2365f615f1009b7d006b3810a9de62f""You know, because you, being yourself, might react recklessly."/p
p data-p-id="f8d92f709e66857a4464b8d6adea0bd4""So, it must be serious, what you are not telling me." Klaus deadpans./p
p data-p-id="20e349f71b4b8b6d32c12a30537d5f56""You could say that."/p
p data-p-id="ea26f54b70823f11c091636ab4e34b07""God, Caroline. Just spill it out already." He told her, rising his voice again./p
p data-p-id="e2389fb701db7c5f3543e612907493c9""Seriously, Klaus? You think that I am hitting on your brother?! You, of all people, know how hard I am to get. Besides, Elijah is not my type." Caroline explained, changing the subject effectively./p
p data-p-id="ff46ffee414511640bda81c7d131917b""So, love, tell me. Who emis /emyour type?" He tempted her, moving more and more closer to her, taking bigger steps each time. Caroline stuttered and couldn't think clearly, as he was invading her personal space./p
p data-p-id="1f3f713821f95a730bb2bb72f59b21a7""Let emme /emguess. British guys, slightly muscular with ocean blue eyes, which turn hazel occasionally. Isn't that right?" Klaus tested her and Caroline honestly couldn't take it anymore./p
p data-p-id="27dd62c4b1d4aa2266eefaae6e9b9bf4""You have no idea, what you are talking about." Caroline refuted his absurd accusations./p
p data-p-id="4547075264cc7cf4822d9927f7af0fe0""Oh, come on. Don't lie to me, Caroline. I can see right through you, remember?" He drew closer to her, almost touching her lips, when Caroline slapped him across his face./p
p data-p-id="299d6c49000522396b986985bcc13060""Did you expect that?" Caroline asked smugly./p
p data-p-id="fce847e7900a5b9b1e68b6b4e7150b55""No, not at all. Took me by surprise, to be honest."/p
p data-p-id="fc0b3ec81383ae27bb1748d2de6e6ef8""Yeah, right. I forgot you are the big bad hybrid and that no one defies you or can say no to you."/p
p data-p-id="99f9b8433c33d52dd8b193abc6385af2""That is the case for most people, but not for you, as it seems." Klaus speaked more to himself than to her./p
p data-p-id="b41e557047a51cfda43be05e1c194887""Peculiar, isn't it?" Caroline questioned irony dripping from every word she spoke./p
p data-p-id="442d50a37412161c6cd1b300444618f4""Exactly, which is why I don't get the reason you like my brother better than me."/p
p data-p-id="8b1345ccb90387e4f11398d25b333f8a""I will say this one more time; Nothing happened between me and Elijah. Is that clear?"/p
p data-p-id="83b396480d01345f28fa5a77f77943cc""Is that the truth?" Klaus doubted once again./p
p data-p-id="9af5c706777ef58e3f127ef2fc8d20d4""Yes." She stated calmly. He remained silent for some seconds, taking his time to think about her words./p
p data-p-id="c6a6a40e22070462050d9c9ec0261553""But, love, you see, when I asked you, you didn't answer me immediately, so now I don't really believe you."/p
p data-p-id="d448dc82ce1f63abc26035cc3869259a""Are you serious? You've been asking me to tell you the truth and when I finally do, you won't buy it?! Seriously, what's wrong with you?"/p
p data-p-id="3f38e148271077e6c4746fe459246d76""But that isn't the whole truth, is it?"/p
p data-p-id="c9024f0e2a5ea1a2e8876f344ee2edd4""Whatever do you mean?"/p
p data-p-id="76c3b5b4ab81bfb122fb8647fddb33d7""Well, you still haven't told me, why you came here, in New Orleans. It can't be that you want to make small talk with my brother, now is it?"/p
p data-p-id="fc6521df836be9f19dce75690d6deed1""Even if I wanted to tell you, I couldn't."/p
p data-p-id="4b59a66610e38eb7a95472a1272ef1e0""And what's the reason for that?"/p
p data-p-id="8f7f83f3a19c14b159462c6959d02013""I gues you'll never know." Caroline simply stated, right before she sped out of her own room and headed to exit the hotel in a quick pace, hoping that Klaus would not follow her. Sadly, her prayers were not answered, since she heard Klaus calling out her name multiple times, until he finally got a grip of her and turned her body around to face him./p
p data-p-id="e72f187f37aa24fe2ae6c2e3b4a762c1""Why are you here, Caroline?"/p

Say what you want, but I-" Klaus cut her off mid-sentence by crashing his lips on hers with force, leaving her speechless and unable of thinking straight. She couldn't even remember the reason they were fighting for, as his tongue battled for dominance with hers. Before it was too late to go back in time, she pulled away from the heat of his body, which clouded her judgement, and ran away from him, as fast as vampire-ly possible as she could./p

p data-p-id="b7ba4e4df7e065da757dee12e5dd523e"strongI hope you liked the fourth chapter, in which our three favorite characters finally leave Mystic Falls with the only destination of the magical New Orleans. Only problem is that when they finally get there, Caroline has to actually deal with Klaus' beyond the limits jealousy (even though he'd never admit it). After a very heated arguement, Klaus ends up kissing Caroline (because isn't that how all couples end their fights). Will she admit her feelings for Klaus to herself or would she rather just run for a couple of more centuries (as said in the Originals)? Keep reading to find that out./strong/p

p data-p-id="b2ed54bbad83dbe93d3adb090cee632f""I'd prefer, if we talked face to face."/p
p data-p-id="eaa9f650e6efe6fac11af5c098f3633c""I am afraid that can't happen. I am in New Orleans and, well, you are in Mystic Falls."/p
p data-p-id="fdce4b7d49e18814c11cacc2d4f054b7""False. I have just arrived in New Orleans."/p
p data-p-id="080cbdcd88bf6a74aee49f4dd6a1c1c7""Oh, really?"/p
p data-p-id="60adf2ce3e4572ba954c29ccd133f082""Yes. Now, where would you like to meet?" Caroline said to Elijah and they hung up, after they've had talked through the details of their encounter, which was planned for the noon of the same day./p

p data-p-id="dd32f283f0c928a5c8acefb098e3b006"Sitting on an armchair and drinking blood from a maid's wrist, Klaus observed his older brother's anxious state, as he was about to exit the Abattoir./p
p data-p-id="fb2b053bc72f5b79cf1456196bdd43de""Where you're headed to, brother?" Klaus asked Elijah and his muscles immediately tensed./p
p data-p-id="1c3cc7cbd0afce330c39c63077c6f898""Out for business. It may take me a while. Do not wait around for me." Elijah tried to sound convincing, but his younger sibling, Niklaus, was used to seeing under the surface of things. As per usual, Klaus was suspicious of his brother's doings, so he decided to follow him to find out with whom he'd meet./p
p data-p-id="56af428e9bf1394b2139297b992f3d03"To say he was shocked, when he realized his brother met with Caroline, was an understatement. Yet, he did not come out of his hiding spot just to see what they are up to. He had a feeling that maybe they were planning a scheme against him. For sure, he couldn't let that happen./p
p data-p-id="9cdc0a07fc213242635d6d4ea74da1d3""Go ahead, Miss Forbes. Tell me what's so important that you came all the way here to tell me."/p
p data-p-id="b7127584d961c27ae37b7a5fd7beef9f""I will. Don't doubt my intentions. And call me Caroline." She assured him, but Elijah still remained distrustful./p
p data-p-id="e9bbc7b688deb1d7ec8043fdefd842a7""Fine, emCaroline/em. Tell me. I just hope, this is not another trap of your friends. For emyour /emwell-being." He emphasized, an underlying threat posing in his, otherwise calm, words./p
p data-p-id="44dd099ccd41c22be5e27e8fc63a4f3e""No, absolutely not. I, under no means, mean to harm your family, Elijah. You can be sure of that." Elijah nodded, as to tell her to continue./p
p data-p-id="7c18f4860c182ec5140990680cba6655""So, ever since, you've left a lot has changed. But the most important is that Katherine took the cure and, thus, she aged faster than the norm. In fact, she would have died, if she hadn't swapped bodies with Elena at her final moment. However, that means that Elena doesn't really exist, until Katherine travels back to her own body or, well, dies. And since the latter is easier than the first, Katherine is in danger, until we find a way to return her to her original body."/p
p data-p-id="a39ff497cc0091267372c28dfbbbd212""And how can I be of help to any of those things?" Elijah questioned clueless as to her intentions./p
p data-p-id="6d07e2839a3bce025466a8071c6b02c8""Well, for starters, you can help us protect Katherine, in case our friends from Mystic Fallls track us down. But most importantly, I thought you may know some witch that can help with the problem we're dealing."/p
p data-p-id="72fa4e5b7a86a0019b86ab0c67027e43""I don't know. Let me do a little research and I will get back to you."/p
p data-p-id="f419e02637db85ef90450f7481395d5d""Okay, thanks, Elijah."/p
p data-p-id="58bd4c9432f03ea02ed7b5dfe6268566""Is Katherine okay, though?" Elijah asked worried./p
p data-p-id="8df031081c1d5b059eabb4034111d630""For now, yes. She is staying at our hotel room. She has come with me here, as well as Stefan."/p
p data-p-id="165b5072eb175a2859f2c08bf4419f32""If there is anything else, I can do for you, please feel free to contact me." Elijah told Caroline, as he took her hand in his in a friendly manner./p
p data-p-id="e225dc62941e8be3842647617bb42a23""I suppose you've already thought of that, but emplease /emdo not tell Klaus." Caroline asked of Elijah, but as soon as she spoke, Klaus appeared in sight quite angry, as well./p
p data-p-id="b7cffe423f45d621b8baf4682f69a379""Well, I guess, it's too late for that." Elijah mumbled under his breath, but of course Klaus heard him./p
p data-p-id="e0265c1436b6729d92669116ea44e17c""Late for what, brother? Kiss her?!" Klaus bursted out yelling furious./p
p data-p-id="0a286e61b5d7bef4c75b1918b05f3003""What?! Klaus, are you insane?" Caroline denied everything at once./p
p data-p-id="152b86ba2fe9420613b8c035e50ed534""Brother, we barely even talked with Caroline."/p
p data-p-id="428a645918491fee8558e9e9f7ebdb9b""Oh, so it's Caroline now. Some business, you're attending." Klaus was quivering with anger and if he were a cartoon, fumes would sure be coming out of his ears./p
p data-p-id="196acd065fc4d3f358580a5ae8bb175a""Niklaus, I demand you calm down. You're causing a scene." Elijah spoke up trying to difuse his brother's rage, while Caroline looked around at the people looking at them and felt self-conscious about what they must think of her at the moment./p
p data-p-id="3c9aee1b066288eff27de451179023a8""Please, Klaus, stop shouting. There is nothing going on between me and Elijah. We were just talking." Caroline made efforts to calm his nerves, but it was to no use. Everyone knew how livid and short-tempered Klaus could become, when he felt injusticed./p
p data-p-id="96b648557ec006d756896d1815232f42""You're touching every man you talk to, then? Interesting, I didn't know." He shot at her with resentment./p
p data-p-id="e184595aa016b9f71ed2c21c29ee1fb6""Come on, brother. Don't act like that."/p
p data-p-id="8f352da40ec8cf12d19121e385f021b7""Act like what. Like a furious man, because I am." Klaus shouted out, before Stefan snuck up behind him and snapped his neck in a second, otherwise he wouldn't have an other chance./p
p style="text-align: center;" data-p-id="0c5a71622661d38ff693f0b49da236ba"***/p
p data-p-id="4d07e58a7108acb9b67141a4a1502d1d""Look, Caroline, since we've brought him here, you might as well stay, so you can keep him calm, once he wakes up. You can only bring him down, without killing him. You know that."/p
p data-p-id="b57213355ebedaccdea7301f3e2175cd""Yeah, but I don't want to go down that road. I don't want to occupy him, while you are trying to find a way to help Katherine. Not again, not like I did in Mystic Falls."/p
p data-p-id="c0c3f81c7fb7e2929273651a13681acb""Caroline, it's not the same thing."/p
p data-p-id="8c8ab3f4143580e31894771083c869a7""I still feel like I, like we are using him."/p
p data-p-id="7043e1033b468a18635c755ec0e11692""Look at it this way. You are going to stay here, so you can explain him everything that went down between you and Elijah. Okay?"/p
p data-p-id="0c962708cfc5cf6acdb457eb3e9c1ea1""I am pretty sure that includes telling him why we came here and I don't think that's a good idea."/p
p data-p-id="4491b119d3749eb9c2731944e5627df2""You'll work this out. You always do. Got to go now. Good luck." Stefan waved her goodbye and closed the door behind him shut./p
p data-p-id="daaab2e1699762e97e4d11b7f8332fc3"Taking a few moments to relax before Klaus was awake, she processed how fast everything was happening. One moment they were in Mystic Falls trying to solve all of their supernatural problems and before she knew it, she has changed states only to travel all the way to New Orleans. As she was too consumed in her own thoughts, she hadn't realized that Klaus has started coming around on the bed, next to which she was seated on a chair, awaiting for his consciousness to kick back in./p
p data-p-id="d3e85cab7e37be61124a04f338a2b3e2""Caroline, where am I?" Klaus asked unaware of his whereabouts./p
p data-p-id="478f8c950bd611c7818c86ce5746f1b0""We are in my hotel room."/p
p data-p-id="fc4800d4fa76a20fb6e4684be71dd307""Why?"/p
p data-p-id="8e4c5b8cb3542c807408b3147da00053""Stefan snapped your neck and then we brought you here."/p
p data-p-id="2107b6983984c0382264fbd8eab6d338""That traitor." He growled angrily./p
p data-p-id="0c4762e335648ee8e222cca4057ee57b""Look, he only did that, because you were out of control. Who knows what you'd have done, if he was not there?!"/p
p data-p-id="cc736b309935de8844495ce70415bdd8""I'd get some answers, that's for sure."/p
p data-p-id="e2e29cc27f8b96e0602aca2283f716d5""What kind of answers?"/p
p data-p-id="7af779dc82fdc9fc0e304553e3c3fc35""The reason why you and my brother met in secret right under my nose."/p
p data-p-id="08051aabf4f85e286e7b84cb8fa8ea74""Well, you know. Just catching up." She threw at him that ridiculous excuse./p
p data-p-id="77ef830297dcfff41df0df1041a23947""Please, Caroline. I am not an idiot. You have never even associated with Elijah before. Now, tell me the truth. Why did you meet?"/p
p data-p-id="c6ec4162eb0ede65b40bfccdd1db7de7""Sincerely, it's none of your business." Caroline waved him off like it was nothing, which infuriated him even more./p
p data-p-id="41fe378c392bc146445f3cc5c511df8e""If only that were true, love. Anything that has to do with you is indeed my business." Klaus seemed to be more sane and in control than an hour ago./p
p data-p-id="fcb0704a88669f9ebd931de05a40abe8""Okay, now you are just creppy." Caroline commented awkwardly and Klaus chuckled at her./p
p data-p-id="de2795cca7eaf51458bc57c651d5baad""Fine, no chit-chat, then. Tell me why did you meet." Klaus insisted once more, letting go of any upbeat mood he previously had./p
p data-p-id="d94a70d89c5caef974283bdffdcf055c""Even if I wanted to tell you, I couldn't."/p
p data-p-id="ff374c79cfade1c4406f59a653b4dd49""And why is that?" Klaus questioned in doubt./p
p data-p-id="f2365f615f1009b7d006b3810a9de62f""You know, because you, being yourself, might react recklessly."/p
p data-p-id="f8d92f709e66857a4464b8d6adea0bd4""So, it must be serious, what you are not telling me." Klaus deadpans./p
p data-p-id="20e349f71b4b8b6d32c12a30537d5f56""You could say that."/p
p data-p-id="ea26f54b70823f11c091636ab4e34b07""God, Caroline. Just spill it out already." He told her, rising his voice again./p
p data-p-id="e2389fb701db7c5f3543e612907493c9""Seriously, Klaus? You think that I am hitting on your brother?! You, of all people, know how hard I am to get. Besides, Elijah is not my type." Caroline explained, changing the subject effectively./p
p data-p-id="ff46ffee414511640bda81c7d131917b""So, love, tell me. Who emis /emyour type?" He tempted her, moving more and more closer to her, taking bigger steps each time. Caroline stuttered and couldn't think clearly, as he was invading her personal space./p
p data-p-id="1f3f713821f95a730bb2bb72f59b21a7""Let emme /emguess. British guys, slightly muscular with ocean blue eyes, which turn hazel occasionally. Isn't that right?" Klaus tested her and Caroline honestly couldn't take it anymore./p
p data-p-id="27dd62c4b1d4aa2266eefaae6e9b9bf4""You have no idea, what you are talking about." Caroline refuted his absurd accusations./p
p data-p-id="4547075264cc7cf4822d9927f7af0fe0""Oh, come on. Don't lie to me, Caroline. I can see right through you, remember?" He drew closer to her, almost touching her lips, when Caroline slapped him across his face./p
p data-p-id="299d6c49000522396b986985bcc13060""Did you expect that?" Caroline asked smugly./p
p data-p-id="fce847e7900a5b9b1e68b6b4e7150b55""No, not at all. Took me by surprise, to be honest."/p
p data-p-id="fc0b3ec81383ae27bb1748d2de6e6ef8""Yeah, right. I forgot you are the big bad hybrid and that no one defies you or can say no to you."/p
p data-p-id="99f9b8433c33d52dd8b193abc6385af2""That is the case for most people, but not for you, as it seems." Klaus speaked more to himself than to her./p
p data-p-id="b41e557047a51cfda43be05e1c194887""Peculiar, isn't it?" Caroline questioned irony dripping from every word she spoke./p
p data-p-id="442d50a37412161c6cd1b300444618f4""Exactly, which is why I don't get the reason you like my brother better than me."/p
p data-p-id="8b1345ccb90387e4f11398d25b333f8a""I will say this one more time; Nothing happened between me and Elijah. Is that clear?"/p
p data-p-id="83b396480d01345f28fa5a77f77943cc""Is that the truth?" Klaus doubted once again./p
p data-p-id="9af5c706777ef58e3f127ef2fc8d20d4""Yes." She stated calmly. He remained silent for some seconds, taking his time to think about her words./p
p data-p-id="c6a6a40e22070462050d9c9ec0261553""But, love, you see, when I asked you, you didn't answer me immediately, so now I don't really believe you."/p
p data-p-id="d448dc82ce1f63abc26035cc3869259a""Are you serious? You've been asking me to tell you the truth and when I finally do, you won't buy it?! Seriously, what's wrong with you?"/p
p data-p-id="3f38e148271077e6c4746fe459246d76""But that isn't the whole truth, is it?"/p
p data-p-id="c9024f0e2a5ea1a2e8876f344ee2edd4""Whatever do you mean?"/p
p data-p-id="76c3b5b4ab81bfb122fb8647fddb33d7""Well, you still haven't told me, why you came here, in New Orleans. It can't be that you want to make small talk with my brother, now is it?"/p
p data-p-id="fc6521df836be9f19dce75690d6deed1""Even if I wanted to tell you, I couldn't."/p
p data-p-id="4b59a66610e38eb7a95472a1272ef1e0""And what's the reason for that?"/p
p data-p-id="8f7f83f3a19c14b159462c6959d02013""I gues you'll never know." Caroline simply stated, right before she sped out of her own room and headed to exit the hotel in a quick pace, hoping that Klaus would not follow her. Sadly, her prayers were not answered, since she heard Klaus calling out her name multiple times, until he finally got a grip of her and turned her body around to face him./p
p data-p-id="e72f187f37aa24fe2ae6c2e3b4a762c1""Why are you here, Caroline?"/p
p data-p-id="c9a238dff7bffe8180f3291f49bae388""I think I've made abundantly clear that-"/p
p data-p-id="1df124d9c05dcab340386938fd010513""Did you come in New Orleans for my brother?"/p
p data-p-id="19656832670f657714853ca7ff8c436d""Are you out of your mind? emOf course not/em." Caroline tried to defend herself./p
p data-p-id="31c87d6a9c7c6e1d6a84a30788a3b2c5""Caroline, I saw how you were looking at him. Just tell me the truth. I promise I won't misbehave."/p
p data-p-id="b144086afbba3398e8853f3cd0493c27""There's no truth to tell. And besides why do you care so much?"/p
p data-p-id="a0fb7d100f55e2ec2bbb11e85131f875""Answer me, god damnit, or I swear I'll-"/p
p data-p-id="ac678e62e59ae52d3d82f9d96d7b162f""You'll what? Kill me, hurt me? Sorry, been there, done that. Say what you want, but I-" Klaus cut her off mid-sentence by crashing his lips on hers with force, leaving her speechless and unable of thinking straight. She couldn't even remember the reason they were fighting for, as his tongue battled for dominance with hers. Before it was too late to go back in time, she pulled away from the heat of his body, which clouded her judgement, and ran away from him, as fast as vampire-ly possible as she could./p

p data-p-id="b7ba4e4df7e065da757dee12e5dd523e"strongI hope you liked the fourth chapter, in which our three favorite characters finally leave Mystic Falls with the only destination of the magical New Orleans. Only problem is that when they finally get there, Caroline has to actually deal with Klaus' beyond the limits jealousy (even though he'd never admit it). After a very heated arguement, Klaus ends up kissing Caroline (because isn't that how all couples end their fights). Will she admit her feelings for Klaus to herself or would she rather just run for a couple of more centuries (as said in the Originals)? Keep reading to find that out./strong/p
