AN: I'm back for another chapter. Thanks for the reviews. I'm glad this story is enjoyable. Also this is the first time I'm writing anything so please forgive any errors. Another thing to take note of is that for the sake of this story certain things will be different from the show, which you'll see in later chapters (trying not to give to much away). Hope you enjoy, thanks :)

Chapter 7: Gonna get burned

Caroline felt like her skin was on fire. Every part of her was pushing, urging, fighting for her to flee but thereshe sat, across from the most dangerous creature on earth. She was planted in the chair across from him and most likely, no force on this earth could move her.

Enzo could sense the tension from a mile away and as amusing as it was to watch, they had to leave. They've been at the bar for a while now and he was tense and on high alert. When both he and Caroline came into this city they were not cloaked, which meant the heretics and Rayna could track them, which also meant the first place they would look for them was in the city. They probably were already here waiting for an opportunity to strike. "Well as fun as this little meeting was" he looks to Caroline, "we've got to go gorgeous" he shot her a serious look and she knew he was right. "What's the rush love? You should stay a while longer" Klaus looks to Caroline with a hint of a smirk, opting to ignore the vampire next to her. "You just want me to stay so you can interrogate me like your brother did. Let me guess he couldn't get what he wanted from me so it your turn. Should I expect a visit from Rebekah as well" she rolls he eyes at him. "You'll have to forgive my brother sweetheart. He can be a little dramatic when he wants to be" Klaus waves his hand in a dramatic gesture. "Something that runs in the family" Caroline mutters but Klaus still hears and chuckles. He's missed her sharp tounge. Never missing a beat with her sarcasm, wit and one liners even with him.

Enzo moves in his chair slightly, clearly uncomfortable. He clears his throat and Caroline looks to him and she sees his annoyance. It's not like she could blame him, they needed to leave before it's to late. "We have to leave" Caroline states plainly and Klaus' jaw clenches in annoyance. He wanted to know what she was doing here. He wasn't foolish enough to think that she was here for him but he needed to know. Maybe she was in some kind of trouble. Maybe she needed protection. She's been on edge all night, maybe it was because of him. As much as he wanted this dance of there's to go on he had to get to the point. "What are you doing here sweetheart?" He asks in a regal tone. One that screamed king and he was. He was the king of New Orleans. This was his town, she had to play by his rules but hell if she was going to let that stone slip into the wrong hands.

Caroline stood from her chair with Enzo rising after her and taking the box she had gotten back. "We...I wanted to see the city. Your brother made it very clear that I was not welcome so now I'm leaving and just to be clear I don't have this stone your brother kept talking about" she says sternly. Both her and Enzo turn to leave the bar but the hesitates for a second. She turns to look at him with a hint of a smile on her face. This is probably the last time she will see him. Who knows if Bonnie will find a way to get rid of the mark. She could spend the rest of her eternity on the run for all she knew. "Take care of yourself" Caroline says as she turns to leave.

Klaus looks to her retreating form and and there's an ache in his chest as she's lost in the distance. He craved to run after her, tell her to stay, that he wants her to stay but he stays in his chair. With this prophecy looming over his family, he had to have a clear head. He didn't trust the deMartel's or his first sired- Lucian Castle. They or any number of his enemies could hurt her to get to him and he could not allow that. So he let her go, not that she was his to let go of. With a sigh he leaves the bar to head home.

Caroline was sitting in the passenger seat of her car while Enzo was driving. They've been quite for the past ten minutes. It was very unlike her to be silent but right now she couldn't find anything to say. She looked out the window at everything passing her by and she wonders how she ended up in this situation and how she's going to get out of it. Right now all she wishes for is her mom. Her mother would always be the one to comfort her. Yes they've had a strained relationship but things did get better between them. It wasn't Bonnie or Elena or stefan, it was always her mom that calmed her and now all she feels is pain. It feels like she's being ripped apart. With a sigh she looks to Enzo, "how much further?" She asks. "We're almost to the border gorgeous. Any where in particular you wanna go?" He briefly looks to her before focusing on the road again. "Your pick" Caroline says in a hollow voice while looking out the window again. "So, that was the mighty Klaus Mikealson huh? He didn't seem that bad. Didn't seem so psycho as the rumors suggest. Although I think you have something to do with that" Enzo smirks at her. Caroline looks to him and rolls her eyes. "We're...friends. He came into town and..." Caroline says trying to come up with the words to explain what Klaus is to her but falls short. "Oh I see" Enzo teases, "have a thing for bad boys do you" he chuckles, "like them all dark and dangerous. You know I think I'm your type gorgeous" he winks at her and she laughs. "How about for now you just focus on the road" she smiles at him as they come up to the New Orleans border.

As they move across, Caroline feels a sting on her heart. She looks to Enzo but sees no sign of pain from him. As the car moves further away from New Orleans she feels pain radiate through her. "Enzo" she says in panic, "something's wrong" she states as more severe wave of pain shoots through her and she screams out in agony. Enzo looks to her in worry as he stops the car. "What's wrong. What's happening Caroline" He examines her for any sign of injury but finds none. Caroline screams out again as the pain washes over again. "Aahhh...it hurts, it hurts" she screams out and tears fall from her eyes. Enzo vamp speeds to her side of the car and yanks the door open. Her carries her out and lays her on the ground. She starts violently coughing and spits out blood as she does. Enzo looks down at her in agony, feeling helpless as she screams out again. He pulls out his phone and calls the one person he knows will help. The person on the other end picks up and he wastes no time. "Bonnie I need your help. Caroline's in trouble. I don't know what to do. I think it's a spell" he says quickly hoping that Bonnie will have a solution. "What, what do you mean, what happened" Bonnie speaks, her voice full of concern as she hears Caroline scream from the other end. "I don't know. We were leaving New Orleans... I don't know what happened" he gushed out while trying to soothe Caroline who started shaking as blood poured from her mouth and eyes. "Get her back" Bonnie says quickly. "What?" Enzo asks. "Get her back to New Orleans now. It's a spell. She'll die if you don't".

Without hesitation Enzo picks up Caroline and vamp speeds the short distance toward the city border. "Enzo...Enzo...Enzo" Bonnie's worried voice comes through the phone. Enzo, after finally breaking away from Caroline picks up his phone. "She fine...she passed out but she's fine. I have to find a safe place for us" he looks down to the blonde still lying on the ground. "There's a place. Caroline told me where Klaus is. I'll send you the address" Bonnie is silent for a short while before she continues, "keep her safe Enzo. We're almost there" she says before hanging up the phone. A few seconds later Enzo's phone buzzed and he saw a text from Bonnie with the address of Klaus Mikealson. With a sigh he picks up a still unconscious Caroline and vamp speed further into the city. He doesn't even ponder the thought of Bonnie coming to the city. He has a bad feeling about this. He just hopes that they will be ready for whatever awaits.

All he wanted was to be alone right now. His siblings, of course had other ideas. They were hell bent on making him miserable, poking and prodding about his meeting with Caroline. Hayley was in the next room with Hope, no doubt listening in. "So does she have the stone?" Kol questions from his spot on the couch as he takes a sip of bourbon. "Well she was to busy leaving town to give me any answers brother" Klaus says with annoyance. "Bloody hell Nik, you just let her go. If that stone falls in the wrong hands then we are doomed" Rebekah says, her voice raising at the end. "Stop being dramatic sister. If Caroline does in fact have the stone then we'll have nothing to worry about. I very much doubt she'll wage war against our family" Klaus takes a sip of bourbon from his glass and Rebekah just rolls her eyes at him.

Freya watches the back and forth between her siblings silently. She wonders why Klaus dismisses this woman as a threat. Kol had told her about the infatuation Klaus had with the vampire from Mystic Falls but when it came down to the protection their family, Freya always thought that Klaus would be the most fierce. So why was he hesitating. What more did he feel for this woman and would that be his down fall.

"We have to get the stone" Freya says and they all look to her. "It's not safe in any hands but our own. Our enemies can still take hold of it and they will surely come for us all" she looks to Elijah for support. "We should not act rashly sister. We should gain her trust first" Elijah says, always trying to find a peaceful solution. "Said the one who ran her out of town" Klaus growls at Elijah.

Before another round of yelling could begin they hear the front door of the compound burst open. The originals and Hayley vamp speed toward the courtyard, with Freya- the only one without the vampire perks, coming up behind them.

Klaus sees the vampire Caroline was with earlier holding her bloodied body in his arms. "We ran into trouble" Enzo says. Klaus moves forward in an instant. He looks down to Caroline and his heart aches at seeing her like this. He moves a wayward piece of hair of her face and tries to take her from the young vampire. "I've got her" Enzo moves passed Klaus to look at Elijah, "where can I put her" he asks and Hayley shows Enzo the way.

The second he puts Caroline safety on the bed he is shoved roughly against a wall on the other end of the room. The wall cracks at the impact. He looks to see Klaus infront of him and the other originals spread out behind Klaus.

Klaus puts his hand around Enzo's throat and squeezes hard before releasing a tiny bit. "Start talking" Klaus growls at him. He opens his mouth to answer but they hear a loud gasp and they all look toward the person they know the noise came from.

Caroline gasps loundly for air she does not need. She feel disoriented and she panics, trying to figure out her surroundings. She looks to everyone around her and her eyes finally fall to him, "Klaus" she breaths out before she falls unconscious again.

So that was chapter seven. I don't really like the Caroline interaction in the beginning of the chapter but it sort of just happened that way but I hope you guys like it.

Now for my rambling- how was 4x09 of The Originals? Coz of the air dates where I'm from I'm one week (one episode) behind but I managed to watch it and I kinda have mixed feeling about it. I felt like their plan was kind of stupid but that's just my opinion. Don't hate me.

Anyway enough of the rambling. Please review. Thanks :)
