CAROLINES POV
To say I was confused would be an understatement. Here I was, back at home in Mystic Falls, thinking I had the perfect relationship with Tyler. We were in the middle of pretending to be broken up so that he could defeat Klaus therefore giving us a happy perfect Klaus free relationship.
But then there was Klaus who as much as I hated to admit it, had somehow managed to get under my skin with his stupid romantic drawings and his old time pick up lines...it was truly and honestly perfect. But he was completely off limits. Dating your best friend's enemy is strictly prohibited.
And then there was this entire future thing my dad had brought me here to see. And suddenly nothing at all made sense anymore. Everything I had lived in the past and thought I knew was slowly becoming one big jumble lie that even I didn't know what to believe or what not to believe.
If what I was seeing was true...that meant that Tyler went crazy and became the Klaus that we all saw when he first arrived in Mystic Falls. Tyler had started to care about 'his' hybrids and only his hybrids so much that he didn't even care that Hayley bit me. I knew I couldn't be with someone like that. Hell that's one of the reasons I'd never give Klaus a chance!
But then there was future Klaus who was still the same Klaus as past tense Klaus but just more...human. He had saved me - like he always does. He had been caring and protective and just...perfect. He had been there for me when Tyler wasn't able to. But that still didn't change anything right? Just because I see a glimpse at the future or something doesn't mean I should automatically dump Tyler to be with Klaus. Right?
My thoughts cleared the second I heard his voice.
Tyler sat in front of the large fireplace with a bottle of whiskey in his hand and tears fresh in his eyes. He had lost his best friend all because of some stupid werewolf bite that Klaus seemed to make a big deal out of. He had killed her. Tore her head from her body without hesitation. And he wasn't able to do anything but sit back and watch.
"Tyler..." Caroline started softly. Originally, she had shown up at house to break up with him and call him ever name in the book. But seeing him so upset made her instantly regret thinking about hurting him more than he already was.
"Don't," he sighed roughly, holding his hand out to silence her, "just don't."
"She tried to kill me. She could have killed me if Klaus wouldn't have-"
"Don't you understand Care?" he shouted, suddenly rising from his seat and turning to look at her quickly, "She wasn't just one of those werewolves working to defeat Klaus. She was my best friend and he killed her. She was a leader in my pack and she's gone."
"Correct me if I'm wrong," Caroline growled, her hands on her hips, "but isn't an alpha male's 'leader' also known as his mate?"
"Caroline," Tyler growled, using his two hands to rub up and down his face.
"Don't Caroline me. I don't agree with Klaus killing, but if he had to kill someone at least it was the evil fur slut who bit me in front of my boyfriend," she snapped back bitterly, "and in case you didn't know, we are so done."
"So you're defending him now?" Tyler laughed sarcastically, "That's fine Care. Run back to him. Just remember - I will kill him. And when I do, I'll also kill anyone or anything that stands in my way. Including you."
So that was that. Tyler had just basically threatened my life. Without caring. I stared back in shock..pain..hurt..confusion. How could someone who claimed to love me so much easily tell me that he would kill me without a doubt?
I turned my back to my dad as I wrap my arms around my body. I was sick of being the girl people wanted to kill. First my mom wanted to kill me because I was a vampire. Then Klaus wanted to use me as a sacrifice before he knew me. Then Damon wanted to kill me just to kill me. Then my own father wanted to kill me because I couldn't be 'fixed.' And now Tyler wanted to kill me because I wouldn't go along with his plan.
The tears came slowly and silently. Over the past few months I had managed to learn how to cry without drawing to much attention to myself. I didn't want anyone feeling sorry for me or seeing me as weak little Caroline. I closed my eyes and let out a deep breath as I tried to calm myself down. I knew Daddy could tell I was crying but he didn't even bother to come to my side. He never was there for me.
"Do you want to keep going?" he asked awkwardly. I let out a soft sigh before turning around and nodding my head yes.
It didn't take long for the scene to come.
Caroline beat her fist against the front entrance with full force. She could have easily broken the door down but she didn't want to earn anymore enemies than she already had. She knew he would come. She could just about feel his little stupid smirk from where she was standing.
"Yes?" Rebekah asked as the door flew open, clearly annoyed at how loud Caroline had been knocking, "Can I help you or do you plan to break down our door all bloody day?"
Caroline rolled her eyes and pushed herself past Rebekah, ignoring the shouts and commands Rebekah was hollering from behind her. She didn't care about the evil blood slut. She was here on a mission.
"Klaus!"
"Yes sweetheart?"
Her heart stopped on a dime as his voice came out from behind her...directly into her ear. Her body instantly became covered in goosebumps at how close he was to her causing her to lose her train of thought for a moment. She quickly covered her face in the best flirty smile she possibly could.
"Can we talk somewhere..." her eyes traveled to Rebekah, "private?"
"Of course," Klaus smirked as he offered his hand out to her. She looked down in disgust and rolled her eyes playfully before looping her arm through his own causing him to smile a true smile.
As soon as the door shut she crossed her arms across her chest and looked at him with a displeased smile. "You killed her."
"I've killed a lot of 'hers' sweetheart," he teased playfully.
"You know exactly who I'm talking about," she replied with a stern voice. She knew she couldn't give into Klaus's playful acts or else he would never give her a truthful answer.
"In my defense she almost killed you."
"But two wrongs don't make a right," she reminded him as he came up from behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist causing her voice to crack. Everything was silent as he lowered his lips to her ear and whispered slightly.
"Does this wrong make it right?" he whispered before lowering his lips to her neck and placing small kisses up and down her flesh. Caroline's eyes instantly closed at the amount of pleasure that had taken over her.
"Okay we are not watching this!" Caroline practically shouted as she grabbed her father's hand and ran as fast as she could. Her mind had a thousand thoughts racing through it and she did not need her father watching her and Klaus engage in foreplay or sex or whatever that was. "I'm done with this whole future thing if that's what I have to look forward to in the next couple of weeks."
Her voice was cut short as the sky around her grew dark and then back light again. She looked at her father wide fear filled eyes as everything around her started to spin. "Daddy?"
"Caroline!" he called out, his voice sounding miles away even though he was in front of her, "Care Bear. Can you hear me?"
"Daddy!" she cried out, fear instantly taking over her entire body.
"Caroline. Someone has broken the barrier. If you can hear me I love you!"
Caroline felt her entire body shake with sobs as the world blacked out.

She awoke with a start and instantly flew into a sitting position. Her hands flew to her face as she sobbed uncontrollably. She had just gotten her father back and had to go through the pain of losing him all over again. She was crying so hard she didn't even feel another body climb into the bed and sit besides her.
"Caroline," his voice called out with.. fear? in it, "Caroline, please answer me. Are you hurt love?"
She looked up as soon as the word love left his mouth. Only one person called her love.
"You!" she shouted through the sobs, "Just get away from me with your romantic drawings and hot hybrid sex and sweet nothings!"
She pushed him away with all her strength, surprising even his own self as he felt his body moving slightly away before climbing to her feet and speeding out of his room as fast as she could.
