AN: So I had another fucked up week thanks to work and the annoying people I work with. I started crying in the car and all that stuff coz of all the overwhelming emotions but nevertheless I'm back for another chapter. Thanks for the reviews and follows. I always liked the idea of Caroline as a werewolf so I was like, yep I'm gonna write that.

Oh and I'm not sure if I should add the whole mates thing into this fic. I am against it but if that's something y'all wanna see let me know. I might reconsider. Anyway on with the story. :)

Chapter 10: Deadly Encounters

Caroline was pacing back and forth in Klaus' art room rambling incoherently to herself. There were just so many unanswered questions. How did she not know of her werewolf lineage? How is she not dead right now? Is she some sort of hybrid?

She looked to Klaus as she continued her pacing. He was still paging through the journal casually sitting on the couch like he had no care in the world. She didn't want to read what was in the journal but she also wanted to know what was in it so she made him do it. He would know more about werewolves than her anyway. She groans in frustration before looking to him. "Are you done yet?" she wines at him. "You asked me that five minutes ago and the answer is still no love" Klaus replied not looking up from the journal. "Well then hurry up. You're like the slowest reader ever" she snaps at him. It's not his fault really, she's just on edge from the bombshell her mother decided to drop on her. Caroline thinks she's handling it pretty well considering she could of totally flipped out.

"Well maybe if you stopped your pacing I would be able to concentrate. Besides you could have read this yourself sweetheart" Klaus shoots back finally looking up from the journal with raised eyebrows. "Hello! Do you not see me pacing. I wouldn't even get out the first sentence" Caroline looks to him like he's grown two heads and he just stares at her. They both know she's not helping the situation and as adorable as he thinks her rambling is, it was distracting him from giving her answers.

She finally relents and plops down on the couch opposite him with a sigh. She sneaks glances at him and she can't help but think how handsome he looks just sitting there doing something as mundane as reading. After a while she puts her boot clad feet up on the table in front of her and starts tapping. The noise causing Klaus to look at her in irritation. She smiles back at him sheepishly and he looks down at the journal again. She knows she's pushing his buttons and a part of her wants to see how far he'll let her go. He would never hurt her but she kinda liked pissing him off.

Finally, after what felt like forever for Caroline, Klaus places the journal on the table and leans forward to look at her. She straightens up and gives him a curious look. "Well?"she questions. "Well love, your great grandfather is quite interesting. Not only was he one of the 'founders' of Mystic Falls..." he starts and rolls his eyes when he says founders because Klaus and his family was there long before they were, "he was, as we now know, a werewolf. He along with the other founders tried to protect the humans from the very darkness he was apart of. He also had a vast knowledge in spells and magic. It's impressive really" Klaus says and Caroline rolls her eyes, just wanting him to get to the point. "Can you like fan girl over my great grandfather in your own time" she says in annoyance. "Caroline" he growls in warning and she thinks she's found how far she can push him. "I'm sorry okay. It's just so overwhelming. I mean first the heretics then Rayna and now this. I just don't know how many more surprises I can take" Caroline says quietly.

Klaus moves to sit next to her and takes her hand. He knows exactly how she feels, especially when he tells her what he's learnt from the journal. Although he has no idea how to comfort her in this moment. Comfort and feelings were not his strong suit. "You're going to be okay sweetheart. You're strong enough to face this" he says and she looks to him. They both didn't realize how close they were. Caroline's lips part a little. Klaus looks to her lips and then back to her. She clears her throat, shifts away slightly and misses the slight look of rejection in his eyes. "Um...so what else did you learn?" Caroline breaks the silence but does not look to him.

Klaus moves back to his original place opposite her and starts talking. "Well before I tell you what was written in the journal, you should know about werewolves" he says and Caroline looks to him in intrigue, waiting for him to continue. "There are seven werewolf packs that are considered royalty among the werewolf community. I come from one of them" Klaus explains and Caroline rolls her eyes and smirks at that, because of course he was royalty. He ignores her and continues. "Your ex boyfriend and my first hybrid comes from another and Hayley descends from a third. You, love are descended from the forth" Klaus tells her. Caroline breaths out and looks to him in shock. "Wait! So your saying I'm...royalty" she asks in a shaky breath. "Yes. As time went on blood lines remained pure while others didn't, while some died out altogether" he says. "Pure?" Caroline asks curiously. "Yes werewolves marrying werewolves from other packs and popping out babies that will carry on the line. While others married humans and in some very rare cases witches" he goes on. "So if a werewolf and a witch had a baby..." she drifts off and he understands what she means. "Then they would either be a werewolf or a witch. Never both. Of course nature had a loophole" he says referring to his daughter. "So what about me. Hybrids need Elena's blood to transition don't they?" Caroline asks. Maybe there's something she's forgetting because clearly she's alive or as alive as a vampire can be. "Yes they do, but your not a hybrid. You see love, your great grandfather was a lot like you. He had a great amount of respect for the humans. He wanted the people in your little town to be protected and well, you know how werewolves can be" Klaus takes a moment to look at her. He knows that this is going to be difficult for her. He understands exactly what this will feel like.

Caroline shudders slightly at the memory of Tyler's first transformation and how he went on the attack the second he sensed her. "So what does that mean?" Caroline questions, urging him to continue. "Remember when I said your great grandfather had knowledge of spells?" Klaus asks and Caroline nods her head, looking at him with wide eyes but unable to get out a steady word. "He had a witch bind your werewolf side, much like my mother did to me. But it was not just you but your entire lineage. He thought it best for your family not to be effected by the gene so even though it will be passed on from generation to generation none will be able to activate it. Although you still have the basic instincts to be near your own kind in whatever capacity. One of the many reasons I myself was drawn to you" Klaus says and looks to her in concern.

Caroline remembers her relationship with Tyler, she remembers when Tyler's pack took her, when the hybrids took her. Her fathers words rang in her head. Her father was so against her being a vampire, even going as far as trying to fix her by means of torture. Was this the reason. Was she truly not meant to be a vampire.

She looks deep in thought and hasn't said a word. "Caroline?" He calls out and her eyes snap to him. "I...I don't know what to say" Caroline says.

Klaus open his mouth to try to comfort her but as he does the door opens and reveals Freya standing on the other side. "We have...company" she says and looks to them curiously before turning to leave from where she came.

*;KC;*

Caroline put everything back into the box and walked behind Klaus, toward the courtyard. She looks over his shoulder to see Bonnie and Stefan walk through the front door. She rushes passed him to Bonnie and wraps her up in a tight hug and does the same to Stefan. "Oh, I'm so glad you guys are okay. I was so worried" she gushed out giving Bonnie another hug. "Were fine blondie" Damon speaks from behind Stefan and she looks to him but notices Alaric and Valarie behind him.

They all move further in to the courtyard and she turns to move further in as well but Bonnie stops her. "Hey are you okay. You look..." Bonnie trails off. "Later" Caroline explains and she knows now is not the time to discuss her new found werewolf lineage. "Why is Valarie here?" Caroline questions, suspicious of the heretic. "She switched sides when Enzo did" Bonnie says and Caroline can see that her best friend is not telling her something.

Bonnie and Caroline move to the center of the courtyard and Caroline notices Elijah, Kol and Rebekah have come back. "Well you're just opening up our home to the commoners aren't you Nik" Kol says while glaring at Damon. Call him petty but he still holds a grudge against the entire Mystic Falls gang for his death. "Kol... and here I thought we were rid of you for good" Damon says shrugging of his surprise at seeing the your Mikealson brother. "Enough. We have much to discuss" Elijah says before the situation gets out of control.

As they were about to continue though, in walks a dark skinned man and a teenage girl who looks to be a little younger than Caroline. "The brunette lock eyes with Caroline and stops short, causing the dark skinned man to turn toward her. "That's her" the brunette looks to Caroline with fear and again Caroline finds herself in the spotlight.

Once again they find themselves interrupted when the door to the compound is harshly thrown open to reveal Rayna Cruz standing before them.

The originals and the Mystic Falls gang take up a fight stance and prepare of a battle that will no doubt end in bloodshed.
