A/N I know I said this would be in Klaus' POV but I thought that I would do both, Caroline's reaction in this one and his in the next. Guaranteed the next chapter will most definitely be in Klaus' POV!

This chapter seemed to just write itself. I love seeing your reaction to this story and therefore to show my thanks I am updating as quick and as often as possible.

A guest reviewer asked me how could Caroline touch Klaus in the last chapter but she could not feed him her blood to give him strength, here is my answer. It was a dream, the meeting happened in their sleep. He was sleeping at the same time as Caroline and they were reaching for each other, anyone looking into the cellar would only have seen Klaus asleep and on his own. Does this answer your question effectively?

Caroline POV

I was still completely shaken from last night's dream; it was so different from the others. Not being able to hide my thoughts from Elijah I told him about being able to touch him, feel him just like he felt me, the only answer he could give me was that Klaus must also have been asleep and was drawn into the same dream. Before I had wanted to know exactly what this connection between us meant, but I never thought it would be possible to share dreams. Elijah said I must of being reaching our for Klaus, which is understandable seeing as my every waking moment he is in my thoughts, they must be following me to sleep.

I felt guilty, I hadn't even thought about Elena or the troubles back in mystic falls. College was far from my mind and I struggled to accept the fact that so was Tyler. I knew being here to save Klaus would not sit well with him, saving the man who took away his free will with the sire bond and killed his mother would make him hate me. I missed Tyler with every fibre of my body during those summer months and when I first started at Whitmore, but now? He is a distant thought and memory. I know the time will come and he will find out exactly where I am and what I am doing and he won't understand, how could he? I don't even understand why I'm doing this. This man has all but ruined my life, causing so much pain and destruction everywhere he went and even now when he is not near me he is still causing me trouble.

I've noticed in these last few days that I've had to constantly remind myself that this is all to pay back my debt and that's it. Remind myself of the pain Klaus has caused all those I love. Remember that he is also going to be a father, that most of all was the hardest to accept. Imagining him being a doting father was so foreign to me; would he dote over the baby? Or would it just be another family member he could make disappear when he did not agree with them. Will Hayley remain with the Mikaelson's once the child is born, remain with Klaus? Or will she simply remain here until it is safe enough to leave and continue to look for her family, and raise her child where it will surely be doted upon?

My mind swam with questions. None of which I am sure I wanted answered, could I really leave once this is all over? Return to college and continue my life knowing he was here with a new born? I sat with a glass of scotch even though it was still morning and looked out the living room window watching the people go about their daily lives. I thought about Klaus and how he was suffering, how unbearable he will be once he is freed, revenge the only thought in his head until blood has been spilled for his captivity.

It still stunned me to think that someone managed to capture him and keep him held captive, that that someone was a 16year old witch doing as she is told by a man who saved her from a brutal death, something she was told that she would be resurrected from. I was slightly confused about the young girl, she was loyal to Marcel but also had struck up a friendship with Elijah, yet she still did not tell him that his brother had been taken. I think this bothers Elijah a little, knowing that he is helping her control her power and asking little in return, yes he has used her power to his advantage by getting her to unknowingly break the linking spell between Hayley and Sophie, and today giving her the new spell to get inside Marcels head.

Hayley came into the living room and stood still when she seen me looking out the window. She stood there almost as if she is waiting on me to say something to her, but what could I possibly say? She had betrayed Tyler, got him run out of town by Klaus. Elijah told me about her reason for doing so, Professor Shane and manipulated her into believing he knew where her family was, that if she helped the hybrids break their sire bond and then be sacrificed he would give it to her. Could she really be hated for wanting to find her family? I decided to be the bigger person, it did not meant she and I would be best friends but for the foreseeable future we would be living in the same house we should at least try to get rid of some of this tension. Not knowing what was a safe topic to discuss I opted for the most obvious.

"How is the pregnancy?"

I could hear her short gasp as she was surprised I was talking to her, most likely expecting me to ignore her or even shout at her not that he couldn't handle herself I knew she could definitely do that, she was a determined and strong woman something I have no problem admitting. She made her way to the sofa and got comfortable, making sure my emotions where in check I turned to face her still remaining by the window with my drink in hand, luckily the insane thirst from last night was gone and I was back to normal.

"It's weird. I can feel it move inside me, growing. I don't know how to describe it"

I couldn't help but give her a small smile, she was glowing with happiness. It was hard not to be happy for someone when they are expecting a child. Knowing she at least deserved luck with this new part of her life I congratulated her.

"I'm glad Klaus hasn't killed you yet, and I'm happy that you're getting to experience motherhood."

She looked shocked by my words but nodded her head in thanks. Feeling as if that's as nice as I could be to her I finished my drink and left her sitting with her thoughts. I returned to my room and made up my bed and got a quick shower planning to at least see a little of the French Quarter because I highly doubt that I will ever return to this place as long as Klaus is here, and from what Elijah has told me about Klaus wanting to regain power form Marcel it sounds as if he is planning to remain here for a long time.

It really was a beautiful place, old and full of culture and life. I stood watching how everyone came to life on the street and smiled at everyone they met, there was music and food and I wondered is this where Klaus stood when he left me that voice message? Telling me he was standing in one of his most favourite places in the world and wished I was there to share it with him?

I walked around until my stomach grumbled and I decided to have lunch out. Not really wanting to return to the house and be alone with Hayley, just because I was pleasant earlier doesn't mean I am willingly going to put myself in a situation where we have to talk. There is just too much that has happened between us, the past and now the present. I don't know why it bothers me so much it's not like I wanted to have Klaus' baby, or even want to be with him at all. Until Klaus I never truly felt completely wanted, even for my flaws. He seen my controlish ways as endearing, enjoyed my anger and stubbornness. Maybe this is why I have a problem with Hayley now; I blame her from taking that away from me, the feeling of choice. The choice of adventure and the chance to see a beautiful world with him, now that his circumstances have changed I am sure that he no longer wishes to whisk me away and show me what this world has to offer.

Arriving at the bar Elijah took me to I entered, hoping Marcel would not be present and I could eat in peace. The blonde bar maid from last night was behind the bar, chatting happily with some of the customers and she gave me a pleasant smile as she spotted me. I went to a table and looked at the menu, trying to decide what I wanted. Nothing really jumped out at me and I decided to go for a simple sandwich. A waitress came over and took my order and told me it would be a few minutes before it would be ready. Seeing that I was now sitting alone the blonde barmaid came down to sit opposite me

"Hello, I noticed you were sitting alone and I know you are friends with Marcel so I thought I would keep you company on my break if it doesn't bother you"

She gave me a friendly smile which I was instantly suspicious of, mainly because Elijah had told me how sneaky Marcel could be, and with the people in this city not on vervain anyone could be under compulsion. I nodded returning a fake smile

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Caroline"

"Cami"

With that my sandwich arrived and Cami placed and order, I wonder if Marcel had compelled her to befriend me, if she would look for details so she could report back to him, remembering to be careful but not wanting her to be aware that I was on edge I started a casual conversation with her.

"So as I am new here visiting my friend, is there anywhere in particular that I should see?"

She smiled, and talked about how everywhere here was beautiful, she named some of the places where I had already been this morning and I nodded to let her know I was listening. Slowly the casual conversation ended and she changed the topic.

"I saw you here with Elijah Mikaelson the other night, is he the friend you are visiting?"

I nearly choked on my sandwich at how blunt she was being; maybe she had the hots for Elijah and wanted to know if there was something going on between us. How I wished it was that simple, that my sole reason for being here was to chase after Elijah, it would be so much easier than the real reason.

I smiled and nodded

"Yes I met Elijah a little while back and he mentioned that I should come and see the wonders of New Orleans, saving me from having to book into a hotel he offered me a spare room"

I felt a sense of Déjà vu at explain my reason for being here; remembering the night Elijah brought me here to meet Marcel. I noticed how she did not seem satisfied with my answer; she looked as if she almost had to get the exact information before she could be at ease, confirming my suspicions that she has been compelled. Knowing that Elijah wanted me to remain in Marcel's good book I thought up a plan, what would spike Marcels interest in me further than a shared dislike for Klaus?

Leaning in a little closer as if to tell her a secret I lowered my voice, hoping she would not see through my lies and the fake trust I was showing her

"Well actually my main reason to come was to settle a dispute with his brother Klaus. He crossed my temper not so long back and I wished to level the scores, but when I got here I found out that he has left town on some business with no word on when he plans to return. Although it is not a complete waste of a trip, I happened to stumble my way across a man."

I sat back with a smile and a fake giggle, hoping she would accept the information and take the bait. Her eyes narrowed slightly but she shrugged it off and offered me a slight smile.

"I can tell there is some difficulty between you and Klaus, your whole body tensed as you spoke his name, your eyes danced with fire."

Was she psycho analysing me? I felt a flutter of nerves and I thought she had seen through it all but was relieved when she smiled a genuine smile once again

"Sorry, I am a Psychology major! I can't help but try and get into people's heads!"

Little did she know that half the people or should I say vampires in this city could get inside her head and doesn't need a psychology major to do so. She quickly changed the subject and quizzed me on who that man I met is.

"His name in Marcel, I met him here two nights ago for the first time, and had drinks with him again last night!"

She smiled

"I thought you looked familiar, I was working last night I must have caught a glimpse of you at some stage"

I frowned, she had seen me, she came straight to me as I sat at the bar and served me a drink. There wasn't much of a crowd last night so there was no way she could have forgotten me, unless she was compelled to do so.

I nodded and smiled, knowing that I had caught her attention. She asked me more

"Are you planning to see each other again?"

I looked down shyly hoping she would catch it and spoke in a lower tone

"I don't know, I ended our time together quite suddenly last night. He walked me back to where I was staying when I received a phone call from my best friend who I haven't spoke to in a while and in my excitement of hearing from her I practically turned my back on him and went inside"

She smiled, at my shyness and answered

"I know Marcel, he drinks here a lot. He seems to be a bad boy if you know what I mean, he has that appeal. I am sure if you were to explain he would understand and not hold it against you. If you would like I could bring you up in conversation the next time I see him?"

I wanted to compel her by my private spy but with Marcel already controlling her mind it was too risky, instead I checked the time on my phone and made an excuse that I had to leave. With a big smile and an awkward and uncomfortable hug we parted ways. I was happy that I was at least able to keep my act going for Marcel, once he asks Cami later what I said she would be able to back up my story of visiting Elijah but also be able to let slip that I wanted to get even with Klaus, I hope he doesn't see it as an obvious attempt to get in his good books through his dislike for Klaus.

Making sure I was not followed or in any danger I made my back to the Mikaelson home, hoping that Elijah had returned. It was early afternoon now and he had left after our conversation this morning to visit Davina.

Hayley had fallen asleep on the sofa where she sat earlier when we talked, I could hear movement somewhere else in the house and sighed when I realised it must be Elijah. I made my way to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of blood from a blood bag that had been chilling in the fridge. I sat at the table reading through the magazine that Hayley had this morning, I hadn't noticed anyone joining me in the kitchen and when I heard her voice I spluttered and spat blood all over the magazine and table.

"What they bloody hell are you doing here?"

"Rebekah?"

I questioned. I thought she would have remained in Mystic Falls with Matt. Elijah had told me she left a few weeks ago when Elijah had managed to escape from Davina after Klaus traded his daggered body for Marcels trust; he said she was going to return to Matt, wanting to protect him from any possibly danger as Silias may target the one human in the group of friends.

"Clearly it's me, now tell me why you are here?"

I stood up, confused.

"Has Elijah not told you?"

A look of worry came over her face but quickly disappeared.

"Told me what? Caroline just spit it out!"

I folded my arms across my chest and answered

"Klaus is being held captive by Marcel, he is being tortured and starved and they want his blood for something"

She smiled

"Well it's nothing he doesn't deserve. Somebody needed to teach him a lesson. He will be fine, he's the original hybrid he cannot be killed; Marcel will tire of him and let him go. If he has Klaus then he does not know about Hayley and the baby and that is the main thing"

My eyes shot up in surprise

"He is your brother? And you don't care? He has the help of that powerful witch, what if she has found a way to kill him?"

This time her eyes shot up in surprise and she smirked at me

"The question is Caroline, why do you care? Have you come here to finally take my brother up on his offer?"

This is why I cannot stand this woman, she is so infuriating, just like her big brother. They have a way of getting under your skin and annoying you to no end. Her face softened a little, realising what she had said. Knowing how the circumstances have now changed what with Hayley and the baby. Even though I saw her regret her words I knew I would not get an apology, not that I really wanted one. I didn't want to admit to Rebekah about the connection Klaus and I shared but if she is going to help us get him she will find out eventually.

"I am here because apparently Klaus and I are weirdly connected, through blood sharing. I seen him in my dreams and came to tell Elijah, and now I don't know why I am still here"

I said looking out the window above the sink as I said the last bit, her silence made me look back to her face which was in a state of shock. She came to the table and took a seat, feeling as if I was towering over her I sat back in my own chair.

"Klaus blood shared with you?"

I nodded, still watching the shock on her face

"But he knows how personal that is … I mean he would never … "

Her reaction was quite similar to his, she was definitely stunned. She looked up at me with a small smile on her face

"I have underestimated you Caroline; you really do have an effect on my brother. He claims to love you but he also claims to love Elijah and me but he does not second think about daggering us when we fight. For him to take this step with you, after no commitment or declaration of love is a big deal, bigger than I think you realise"

"It doesn't matter now, everything has changed. Klaus and Hayley are having a baby and as soon as he is free I will leave and return back to my own life"

I could hear the clear ring of sadness in my voice, and I couldn't pinpoint the exact emotions I was feeling at the minute.

"Caroline, we have our differences you and me. My brother may treat me terribly but I love him as I know deep down he loves me too. Elijah is confident that the birth of this child, Klaus' own flesh and blood will heal our family, bringing to light the humanity Klaus has fought so hard to keep hidden these past one thousand years and make us complete, but I know now that Klaus will never be fully complete without the love of a woman. A woman who can match him for stubbornness and determince, someone who challenges him daily. With the two of you connected through the blood bond I know that you are that woman."

Her honesty and emotion confused me, was she playing an angle on me? Why after never showing me a hint of kindness is she now telling me that I am the right woman for Klaus, why is she pleading his case?

"Rebekah our blood bond as you call it changes nothing apart from the fact we share dreams and that we will know if the other is in danger. The truth is that whatever possibility there was of me loving your brother is gone now, things have changed and we both need to accept that change"

She didn't fight me on it, knowing it was too personal a conversation for us to have. Rebekah offered me one last smile and an unexpected comment

"Thank you for helping him. I'm not saying that we are besties now but I hate you a little less"

I smiled, true Rebekah behaviour. Deciding to play along I answered

"I hate you a little le… Nope I can't, I still hate you the same"

She smiled and then flashed out of the kitchen getting back to whatever it was she was up to. Possibly trying to get in touch with Elijah to get the full story and find out our plan.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, I did not recognise the number on my screen, I knew it wasn't actually him but the message sounded like him especially the 'love' part, someone, most likely Marcel was playing with me

"Caroline, love. How are you keeping?"

A message from Klaus would have had a sweetheart in there somewhere along with something more witty and annoying than that simple text. Marcel has clearly spoken to Cami and is trying to see if what I told her about Klaus is true

"Unless you are going to apologise for all that you have done, I do not see a reason why you are texting me Klaus"

Simple and not giving too much away I hit send and waited on a reply, interested to see where this would lead.

A/N Do we want Caroline and Rebekah to get along? Or is their bitchy relationship better? I wanted to have a little bit of action between Hayley and Caroline, just to show Caroline's ability to be the bigger person.

Is there anything you would like to see more of?

As always reviews make me happy !

Thanks
