I know. I'm a little late in updating, but with good reason!

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT! IT MEANS SO MUCH!

Please remember to review at the end! :)

Caroline awoke in the middle of the night; sweat dripped from her forehead and drenched her hair. She felt him move beside her, and she leaned against his body.

"What is it, love?" Klaus asked, curiosity and concern lining his words.

Caroline lowered her head, and reached for his hand. "I saw him. I saw Tyler." She paused, turning her head to look at him. "I saw him take you away from me."

~XXX~

"You can't hide from me, Caroline."

Caroline turned around, and searched the emptiness. "Stay away from me!"

"Oh, how can I, when you are with me every step of my journey?"

She shook her head, and searched the darkness once again. "You are not here!" She shouted, turning around and around, letting her hair fly behind her.

"Oh, I'm here, Priestess. You will never get away from me!"

She swallowed, and saw a figure step out of the darkness. "No…"

He smiled, and slowly his figure transformed into the image of the man who held her heart.

"You're not him." She whispered, lifting her hands in defense or more over to push him away.

"Oh, you need to rest, my dear. You've had a long day." He remarked, reaching for her throat.

In a moment, she screamed.

~XXX~

Klaus wrapped his arms around her, and pulled her closer to his body. "You're safe. It's okay. You're safe." He whispered, rocking her in his arms.

She clung to his body, feeling his warm skin against hers as the sheet fell between their bodies. After the dig was finished for the day, they had left to bath and then made love into the night in her tent. Now, he was holding her because of her nightmare, her horrible nightmare, and she had never felt so safe.

"Don't you leave me again," She whispered, her body shaking at the prospect.

Klaus closed his eyes at the pain in her voice, and bowed his head to kiss the top of her blonde head. "Never in a million years," He whispered, slowly.

She smiled, and let out a laugh, before moving her head from his chest to rest on his right shoulder. "It should be eternity."

He hummed, and lowered his head to meet her gaze. "Should it?" He asked, as she nodded, and smiled. "Why?"

She shrugged her shoulders. "Well, we are bound for that long." She answered, as he smiled and bent his head to touch his lips to hers. She didn't mention the bonding between him and Tyler, as she knew it wouldn't last. Somehow, they would find a way to break the bond, and her and her love would be forever bound in love, as it should be.

"That we are, love. That we are," He whispered, against her lips, before laying her down on the bed.

She smiled, despite the fear, grateful that he was here with her, and not taken like in her dream. "Be with me…" She whispered, against his lips, her voice still shaking.

He pulled back only a fraction, and smiled down at her. "Always…"

She touched his scruff, and smiled. "Leave me…"

He shook his head. "Never…"

She nodded, and pulled his head down. "Good," She whispered, capturing his lips with hers, and slowly wrapped her legs around his waist, feeling him pressing against her hot core.

He smiled, and pushed inside her with one thrust, noting how easy and wonderful it felt to be inside her.

They rocked together on the bed. Hips gyrating and moans escaping from their mouths as their lips separated and caught each other again and again.

Nails dug into skin, and heat floated off their bodies, as sweat formed.

"Klaus…"

His name became a mantra, one only spoken by her, and her name floated to her ears in his rich tone.

They reached towards the cliff together; a feat not shared by many, and dove off as they screamed in ecstasy.

When he finally rolled off of her, he gathered her in his arms, and kissed her head, tenderly.

"It gets better every time." She whispered, snuggling closer to him.

He chuckled, and held her close, feeling her heart beat in time with his. "That is does, Forbes." He remarked, as she stroked his chest.

"You're getting cocky, Mikaelson." She remarked, lifting her head to look at him.

He lifted his brows at her, and smirked. "Never,"

She laughed, and slapped his chest. "You so are!" She countered, with another laugh.

He shrugged his shoulders, and touched her face. "Can't help it, love." He admitted, searching her eyes. "The woman I love is in my arms, and she's the most perfect creature ever to warm my bed and my heart." He added, watching her eyes soften.

"You are so full of it." She remarked, saucily.

"You love me, anyway." He returned, as she rolled her eyes.

She gave an exasperated sigh, and wrapped her arm around his bare chest. "I suppose I do." She teased, laughing as he smiled. "You love me too."

He nodded, and kissed her tenderly. "I know."

~XXX~

Kol groaned, and shook his head on the bed. "They are at it again." He stated, with another groan. "I swear they didn't screw each other this much when they were alive four thousand years ago."

Bonnie listened to him complain, and rolled eyes. "You didn't seem to mind when we were making up for lost time." She remarked, turning her head on her pillow to look at him.

Kol opened his mouth, and groaned. "I hate it when you're right." He relented, reaching for her hand, and pulled it up to kiss the top of it.

She smiled, and slowly her eyes drifted close.

"Bonnie?"

She hummed her response, and slowly opened her eyes to find him staring at the roof of the tent. "What is it?" She asked, worry lining her tone.

He sighed, and turned his head. "What happens to us when the Pharaoh is defeated?" He asked, searching her eyes in the dark, though there was little light coming from the moon outside.

Bonnie lowered her eyes, and felt his body stiffen at the prospect that they would disappear. Scooting closer to his side, she rested her head on his shoulder. "I don't know." She whispered, her face just a short distance from his.

He breathed out, slowly, and brushed his nose over hers. "After everything…I…" He paused with his voice cracking with emotion. "I can't lose you, Bonnie."

She lifted her free hand, and caressed his face. "Neither can I." She breathed out, leaning closer to capture his lips with hers, and moaned, lowly as it started a fire between them.

After four-thousand years together, they still burned like new fire, and clung to each other as she moved to straddle him, and sat down on his hips.

Her night gown lifted from her body, and fell to the floor of the tent, and Kol moved to sit up, attacking her skin with his lips, hearing her moan and feeling her nails bite into his shoulders.

They writhed on the bed, and clung to each other, as his nakedness warmed and called to her.

"Tomorrow, he may come, Kol." Bonnie panted, as his fingers moved to her clit, and stroked her, causing her whimper and thrust her hips forward, wanting more. "But tonight…" She paused, as his head lifted from her breasts, and she caressed his face. "Fill me." She added, watching him smirk.

"With pleasure," He responded, flipping her over, and filled her with one push forward. They cried out in unison, loving the feel of oneness that only comes from the soft thrusts of two people in love.

Bonnie clung to his shoulders, content to move her hips to meet his thrusts. "I love you…" She panted, as he kissed her once again.

"I love you." He returned, loving the feel of her legs wrapping around his waist.

Basking in their love, a love that, like Klaus and Caroline, could be ripped from them because of a crazed pharaoh.

As the night continued, Bonnie and Kol became lost in their movements of love, content that they were still in love after four thousand years.

~XXX~

"Mikaelson, that needs to be handled carefully." Caroline ordered, as she approached the tomb once again, satisfied that the door was opened for good.

Klaus rolled his eyes, and turned to face her with a rough glare. "I do know what I'm doing, Forbes." He snapped back, turning to lift the camera and snapped a few pictures of the crypt.

She moved to stand beside him, and leaned against him. Her mind raced over the events of the past few days, and in slow movements, she studied the way Klaus had been attempting to capture the images on the wall with the camera. He did know what he was doing, but she loved ordering him, and she knew from the look in his eyes, he loved hearing her orders, to a degree.

She stepped towards the words which had haunted her since she had first read them a few days ago.

Klaus lowered the camera, and watched her with careful eyes. Her hands touched the last word with a shaky hand that made him lower the camera to the ground, and rushed towards her.

He grasped her hand, and turned her to face him. Her eyes were widened with fear, and her hand shook in his grasp.

"What does it say?" He asked, watching her eyes color in fear.

She started to shake her head, but his free hand grasped her face, and stilled her movements.

"Caroline, what does it say?" He asked, his kind eyes searching hers.

She turned her head, looking at the words once again. "It says the curse will return and…" She swallowed, her fears returning as she gazed at the words.

"And what, love?" He asked, gently, noting the fear increased. "Love…"

She turned her head to look at him, and her heart pounded in her chest. "I will become his." She answered, in a shaky voice.

Klaus' body straightened, and his eyes hardened. "What?" He demanded in a tight voice.

Caroline lowered her eyes, and tried to keep from looking at him. "It says I will become his."

Klaus shook his head only with a tight shake, and grasped her upper arms. "No," He stated in a definite tone.

She sighed, and grasped his upper arms to push him away. "It's what it says, Klaus." She returned, in a defeated tone.

"I don't believe it, and you don't either." He remarked, as she lifted her eyes to his. "It's just words on a wall. It doesn't mean anything." He added, as tilted his head to the side, pointing to the wall.

She listened to his words, and knew them to be true, but the fear that the words could hold truth gripped at her heart. "I…" She began, but he silenced her with a look.

"Caroline, I won't lose you. I will fight Tyler. This mess started with me, because I betrayed him by loving you, and I will finish it." He stated, backing away.

She turned her head, watching him walk towards the forgotten camera. "What do you mean it started with you?" She stated, walking towards him in slow strides. "Klaus…"

Klaus lifted his head to the ceiling, and groaned. "Nothing, Caroline,"

She shook her head, and grasped his upper arm, turning him towards her. "No, it's not nothing. It's something. Tell me." She demanded, knowing he was holding something back.

Klaus frowned, and shifted his eyes to the side, gazing at the mural with the images of their past. "I loved you. I touched you. I made love to you. You were destined to marry him, not me." He began, shaking his head.

She rolled her eyes. "I defied him, because I am my own person, Klaus. I decide who I love, who I give my body to, who I marry." She returned, defiantly. "You did nothing but accept my love."

"He was my best friend, Caroline." He revealed, watching her eyes widen slightly. "I grew up with him. I knew he had a sickness. I knew he had the madness, and yet, I didn't help him win you, because for once in my bloody life, I wanted something for myself, something that made me happier than I have been in a long time." He argued, his eyes hardening and yet were still soft as they looked at her.

She tilted her head to the side just a fraction, and reached up to touch his face. "You followed your heart, Klaus." She remarked, letting him know the truth. "You followed your heart, and so did I. We should not be held accountable for that." She added, gently.

He reached up, and grasped the hand on his face, and sighed. "I served his family loyally for years, Caroline, and then I met you, again." He remarked, as she smiled.

"The boy from the temple," She whispered, feeling a blush tinge her cheeks. "You know you were my first kiss." She revealed, trying to lighten the mood.

Klaus smiled, and pushed a few strands of her blonde hair from her face. "Was I?" He asked, feeling his heart warm at the thought.

She nodded. "You were. No other man had ever touched me since that day in my chambers until I came to the palace, and saw you again." She stated, touching his face with her other hand. "I had vowed to never let another kiss me until I could see you again, and I kept my vow until you kissed me in my chambers." She explained, gently.

He smiled once more, and searched her eyes. "I betrayed him, Caroline, and the only thing that I'm sorry for was bringing you into this." He regretted, watching her eyes soften.

"Wherever you go, whatever trials you face, I'll stand by you, Klaus. That's what lovers do." She explained, watching him close his eyes.

"I never wanted you in harm's way, love." He spoke in a soft tone.

She nodded. "I know, but it doesn't matter." She returned, stroking his scruff with her right hand as her left was his left hand. "That's what love does. It gives us strength to overcome any obstacle, even a crazed Pharaoh." She added, as his eyes opened.

"You won't become his, Caroline. I swear it." He vowed, grasping her face with his hands.

She smiled, and placed her hands on his wrists. "I know."

He smiled for a second before placing his lips on hers, sealing the promise the only way it could be sealed.

With a kiss.

~XXX~

"Thank you, my dear, you've been ever so helpful." He remarked, touching the woman's face who had instructed him where the dig site was.

The woman nodded, but felt her body weaken as she stumbled back.

He took a couple of steps, and then turned to look at her. "Can't have you running off to warn them, could we?" He asked, with a chuckle before disappearing into the sand.

The woman touched her face, and collapsed on the floor of her shop with her daughter screaming her name as she felt her soul leave to the place where it was cold and dark.

All the while she recalled the stranger's cold eyes and his equal cold touch.

"Goddess, help me."

Please be kind!

As you all know, I've uploaded a new story for the Christmas season, and that one has taken up a little bit of my time, that and writing a paper for my history class. I have focused on trying to wrap up this story, and I've only got five chapters to go, counting the last one which is already written. I've decided once this one is wrapped up, I will focus on another story to wrap up as I continue with the Christmas one. I am going to wrap up I Dream of Caroline in a few weeks. Dream has been neglected for far too long, and needs to be completed, so I hope you all will approve my choice, and when it's completed. I will focus on others.

Next Chapter: You Were Right

Until Next Time...
