So I pretty regularly check to see if there are any new reviews on this (there normally isn't any)(cheers lads), but I hadn't done it in months, up until last week. And there was a new review! And this one was 100% correct. I am terrible at updating. I have excuses but I won't bore you with them, but I will say that since it is Christmas holidays I will have a lot more time to write and upload.

This brings me to my next announcement. I WILL BE TAKING REQUESTS FOR ONE-SHOTS, DRABBLES, TWO-SHOTS ETC.. FOR SHIPS/CHARACTERS IN TVD, THE ORIGINALS, THE 100 AND TEEN WOLF! I DON'T HAVE TO SHIP THEM FOR YOU TO REQUEST! YOU CAN SEND THEM TO ME ON THE PERSONAL MESSAGE THING OR IN THE REVIEWS! TO GET THE BALL ROLLING I HAVE A KENNETT ONE-SHOT THAT I WILL BE UPLOADING TONIGHT, SO STAY TUNED!

Anyway, enjoy this chapter and tell me what you think! If you like it, tell your friends, share it on social media, tell your uncle I DON'T MIND JUST SPREAD THE WORD!

Never Let Me Go

6. Alliance

"Perhaps love is a minor madness. And as with madness, it's unendurable alone. The one person who can relieve us is of course the sole person we cannot go to: the one we love. So instead we seek out allies, even among strangers and wives, fellow patients who, if they can't touch the edge of our particular sorrow, have felt something that cuts nearly as deep."
― Andrew Sean Greer

To say Klaus was pissed would be a complete understatement. He was absolutely livid. Barely giving Elijah a chance to finish his revelation on Caroline's latest misadventure, Klaus was in his car on his way to the place he swore he would never set foot in again. Mystic Falls.

They had been driving relentlessly for 3 hours straight and to say they were sick of it was only scratching the surface. There are only so many times you can play eye spy without the car turning silent and everyone in it wanting to blow their brains out. So when the chance of a rest stop came knocking, they gladly pulled over, needing a well-deserved break. And gas. It was also getting harder for Stefan to ignore his phone buzzing in his pocket every five seconds. He silently thanked caller ID. He didn't have the energy to deal with Klaus or with whatever he wanted. That being said, whilst he was waiting for the tank to fill, he decided to answer, hoping Klaus would get the picture and leave him alone.

"What?" Stefan answered, not doing anything to hide the annoyance he was feeling.

"Stefan," Klaus spat, anger seeing into his voice. "Glad to see your phone still works."

Stefan sighed in exasperation.

"What do you want Klaus."

"Well Stefan, it has come to my attention that there's been a little incident involving Caroline. And that was understandably a concern to me, so I decided to pay a visit to old Mystic Falls."

Stefan shifted uncomfortably, not liking where this conversation was going.

"So, think of my dismay when I arrive, and no one is here."

Stefan took a deep breath before replying.

"What's your point Klaus?" Stefan asked his voice subconsciously lowering when he saw that Caroline and Damon were at the checkout. They would be out any second.

"Where is she Stefan." Klaus growled, not liking Stefan feigning ignorance.

"Well I'm afraid that's classified information." Stefan answered desperately trying to bring the conversation to an end.

"And don't you have a 'kingdom' to run, as you call it? Wouldn't want anything to happen whilst you're gone. Maybe you should get back."

"I will find her Stefan, might as well make it easier on yourself by telling me." Klaus warned.

"Yeah, well good look with that." Stefan abruptly hung up the phone seeing Damon and Caroline walking towards him.

"You okay, Stef?" Damon asked, sliding the bag of snacks they bought into the back seat.

"Yeah, fine." Stefan answered taking out the gas pump, putting the gas cap back on and getting into the driver's seat, hoping to put even more miles between them and Klaus.

Klaus resisted the urge to smash his phone on the floor. He was currently standing in the Forbes house, trying to devise a plan. The empty Forbes house he might add. He needed to find out where they were. Suddenly, a smile spread across his face. He knew just what to do.

Bonnie had barely moved from her bed in days. She couldn't help but envy her vampire companions. They were probably out frolicking about doing god knows what, not having to worry about injuries or sickness, when she was at home, bed ridden by a cold. Although, she may have been milking it for all it was worth. It was nice to get a little alone time, catching up on being a normal person for the first time in a while, catching up on all her favourite shows and eating nothing but chocolate covered pretzels. So she couldn't help but groan in annoyance when a knock at the door forced her to pause the TV, just when Jackson was about to profess his love for April on Grey's Anatomy. Stumbling out of bed she reached the door. She couldn't care less if anyone saw her in her skimpy duck pyjamas. She swung open the door, wanting this interruption to end soon so she could get back to the happenings at the Grey/Sloane memorial hospital. She was not expecting the tall figure standing in front of her to be the one to interrupt her day of normalcy.

"Klaus." Bonnie hissed, both surprised and angry at his arrival.

"Hello Bonnie. Just popped 'round for a little help from Mystic Fall's favourite, and only, witch." Klaus grinned, hoping his sweet as sugar approach would help his case.

Bonnie scoffed.

"And what makes you think I would help you." Bonnie asked, trying to shut the door in his face.

Klaus caught the door with his hand pushing it back open.

"I think it's in both of our best interests that you help me. And I'm not taking no for an answer."

A/N: WEEEEEE WORDS AND STUFF! REVIEW AND REQUEST! I am shouting, I apologise. Until next time... (Sooner than you think!)
