Sorry this took longer than I said it would! Don't be mad at me. As promised, Klaus and Caroline reunite!
As they pulled up to the asylum, Caroline began to have second thoughts. "Um, Elijah, Marcel?" she said, "I'm starting to think this is a really bad idea. I mean, yeah, I don't want Klaus to kill Rebekah and sure, seeing me might make him pause for a second but I really don't think it will stop him in the long run. Plus, if we do keep him from killing her right now he'll probably get really pissed and decide to kill the rest of us as well as her later. Anyway, this place looks like the set of a horror movie which I realize sounds really weird since we're all vampires but that just seems like a really, really bad idea. Couldn't you just like, call his phone and get him out here or something?" Marcel and Elijah stared at her for a minute before bursting out in laughter.
Elijah recovered first and said, "Caroline, I forgot how much you ramble. That's another quality my brother finds endearing. Anyway, this will work. It has to."
Marcel nodded and continued, "He's right. From the way he was acting after his little visit, there is no way he won't talk to you. And he won't hurt you later either. Go on inside. I'll be out here listening. Good luck."
Caroline groaned, "Fine." She and Elijah began walking towards the doors. As they walked inside, the two began listening for Klaus and Rebekah. Luckily, they had spent enough time around both to know the small differences between them. "Rebekah is down here somewhere," Caroline said, "You go look for her. Klaus is on the…third floor? I'll go get him. Keep listening for me and once he's distracted, get her out of here. Elijah nodded tensely and headed down the hall in the direction he had heard Rebekah's heartbeat. Caroline sighed, "Here goes nothing" and headed up the stairs, Klaus's heartbeat getting stronger as she climbed.
As she emerged onto the third floor, she turned as a door opened. An enraged Klaus came storming out and stopped short when he caught sight of her. "Caroline?" Klaus said breathlessly, looking like he had seen a ghost. Caroline wasn't quite sure what to say and ended up with, "Um…Hi?" Klaus said her name again and vamp-sped to her side before gathering her in a hug. Just as Caroline was beginning to enjoy it, he stepped back and said, "I'm sorry. I forgot my promise for a moment."
Caroline smiled slightly and said, "It's no problem. Anyway, I came here, not the other way around. So, let me guess, you found out something about Rebekah that happened like a century ago and now you're pissed off and want to kill her." Klaus looked at her, "How did you…?" Caroline answered, "Elijah called me. I just have one question. Why do you want to kill Rebekah?"
Klaus's murderous expression came back and he shouted, "She called Mikael. She called my father so that he would kill me and lied to me when he showed up." Caroline nodded and replied, "So did I." Klaus stared at her and she continued, "About a year ago, me and my friends called him. We wanted to kill you. And we almost succeeded. You know that. So, why am I still alive? If you kill Rebekah for killing Mikael, you might as well just kill me. That would be the logical thing to do, right?"
Klaus sighed and replied, "You know I can't do that. I'm in love with you, I could never hurt you – let alone kill you."
Caroline replied, "And you love your sister. Don't try to deny it, I know you do. So just talk to her and find out why she did what she did."
Klaus ran a hand through his hair and said, "I know why she called him. The witch showed me. She wanted to be with Marcel and she feared that I would not let them be with each other so she tried to get me out of the way…"
Caroline sighed and said, "So let it go. I doubt that she was trying to kill you. Besides, she still stuck by you for the last hundred years – even if she was trapped in a box for most of that time. Plus, you were kind of being a jerk by not allowing her to be with the guy she loved."
Klaus looked at her dumbfounded before saying, "I missed this." When she looked at him confused, he continued, "You calling me out. Not letting me get away with my behaviour when you know it's wrong…I missed it."
She smiled and said shyly, "Well, isn't that why you love me? That's why Elijah called me here. He was hoping I could talk you off the ledge. So? Will you let your sister live?"
Klaus looked down for a minute before staring into her eyes and saying, "On one condition. You spend the rest of the week with me and let me show you all that New Orleans has to offer."
Caroline laughed and replied, "Well, I came all this way. Might as well." Klaus smiled and kissed her before grabbing her hand and leading her out of the building.
