Earlier That Day

She pulled the hood of her jacket closer to her face using it as a shield to both the cold air and the possible fact that one of her friend's would see her waiting outside the Mikaleson's door. The last thing she wanted was Caroline popping up besides her and asking her twenty questions as to why and what she was doing here.

She wasn't exactly ready to face one of the Mikaelsons since they all were pretty tough to tolerate. She knew if Rebekah would answer the door she'd be in for a world of sarcastic remarks and eye rolls but if Kol would be the one to answer he'd shower her in compliments and unwanted attention.

"Bonnie," Klaus called out as soon as the door flew open to reveal the witch, "looking for something sweetheart?"

She let out a sigh of relief. She hated Klaus just as much as the next guy but she was beginning to see that he was surprisingly the sane one of the group. "We need to talk."

He slowly moved to the side and extended an arm, allowing Bonnie to walk into his home. She crossed her arms across her waist and held herself tightly before giving Klaus a warning glare and making her way into the home. "My siblings are out for the day so feel free to speak as you wish. Bourbon?"

Bonnie glanced over to where he was standing at a bar with a fifth of Bourbon in one hand and an empty glass in the other. He quickly filled the glass up and raised it to his lips, glancing back at her once more. "I'm not here to socialize, Klaus."

His lips twitched into his trademark smirk. Of course he knew the witch wasn't here to talk about the weather or about who won the football game last night but it didn't stop him from having a bit of fun. "You don't say."

"Do you want to hear what I have to say or not?" Bonnie snapped instantly. Klaus was wasting time and the less time she spent around him the better she would feel.

"You may want to watch your tongue sweetheart," Klaus warned as he fixed himself yet another glass of Bourbon, "it just may be removed from your mouth if you continue to snap at me. Carry on."

With a sigh she closed her eyes and debated on rather or not she was doing the right thing. In a way she could understand that Caroline would be upset with her but she was worried about her best friend and there was only one person who could save her without getting them both killed in the process. "When I touched her I saw something. More like two people. You and Tyler."

"Yes well it appears that is how Caroline and I have been meeting lately. With my defiant hybrid tagging along at her side," he shrugged, "it's a shame that those hybrids are a dying breed. I truthfully have no use for him any longer."

"It was different this time. It was two flashes - one with you and her acting...normal," Bonnie decided that normal would be the best way to describe the situation she saw, "and the other was of Tyler and her fighting."

He lowered his eyes to the ground as a small smile crept up onto his face. He knew it would come eventually. He was willing to wait a lifetime but he knew that one day she would show up at his door ready for him to show her what the world had to offer.

"Caroline was brought onto the otherside. To do what I'm not sure. How? I'm not sure of that either. Whatever magic was used I can't channel it. It's like it doesn't exsist," Bonnie explained, "but messing with the otherside can cause problems in the present time without even knowing about them until it's too late."

"My mother's doing?" he asked quickly, his head flying up to catch Bonnie's stare. If his mother had anything to do with what was happening to Caroline he would be sure to find her and remove her heart before sending her straight back to hell.

"No. No this is something different," Bonnie sighed while fiddling with her hands, "I'm sending her back. And since Tyler can be killed..."

"You want me to go back with her, end the source of the magic, and save Caroline's life once again," he replied, finishing her sentence for her.

"Right," Bonnie confirmed, "I don't like you and I do not trust you but if there's one thing I'm sure of it's that you won't let anything happen to Caroline. There's another problem. I'm still not strong enough for a spell like this. I can handle sending Caroline back but I can't send you back as well. You'll need another witch."

"Shouldn't be a problem. After all, you witches aren't exactly extinct nowadays," Klaus replied playfully. "But I do have one question for you, Bonnie. Caroline's body was left unprotected when she went to the otherside. Once I go to the otherside, mine will be left unprotected as well. What's stopping you and your friends from killing me?"

"Already figured out. Once you find you a witch, let me know. I have a spell that can be used to preserve someone's body until their soul returns. As long as your soul is away from your body, nothing can happen to it. It takes two witches to complete it so you'll need to find one soon."

"Right well," he paused, "it seems that my siblings have just returned home so if you want to avoid Kol's annoying comments I suggest you take the back exit."

Bonnie nodded silently as she quickly gathered her stuff up and started to walk away. She looked back one last time, "And Klaus? Don't make me regret this."

He watched Bonnie leave before making sure the door was shut firmly and walking back over to his couch. He plopped himself down casually as he reached over and grabbed ahold of his sketch book. Over the years he had numerous books filled with his artwork but this one would be the one book that he would never allow anyone to see other than himself.

He flipped the cover, revealing a drawing of Caroline from the night of the decade's dance. She had a smile on her face and was dancing happily but instead of Tyler, it was him. The next page was of Caroline sleeping peacefully - he had drawn it while watching over her body. The folllowing pages were of Caroline, each different poses and different locations. He had some of her laughing, some of her crying, and some of her glarring hatefully at him. He gaurded his sketch book with his life. If the book would fall into the wrong hands, they'd instantly go after Caroline to hurt him.

"You can't be here!" she screamed as she jabbed a finger into Klaus' chest earning a honest chuckle from him. "You need to go now."

She turned towards her dad quickly, "He needs to go now. Bye Klaus. Poof. Go. Gone!"

"Sorry love but even you know I'm not that easy to get rid of," he replied before walking past her and over to the man he assumed was her father, "you must be the infamous Bill Forbes."

"And you must be the famous Klaus Mikaelson," Bill replied bitterly with his arms folded across his chest. Klaus glarred at him for a moment before feeling his lip slowly cave into a smirk.

"So you've heard about me. Lovely."

"Okay now that you've met how about a good bye," Caroline suggested as she rushed to Klaus' side and grabbed his shoulder, "on you go. Back to wherever you came. Hate to see you leave so soon but you have to go."

She felt him stiften as her heart dropped to her feet at the sound of her voice. Every ounce of force that she had been using on him vanished as soon as he turned around with his eyes opened widely and his mouth slightly open.

"Klaus, please if you've ever had one ounce of respect in your body you should use it now. Please Klaus, please don't watch this," she pleaded, her voice coming out as a strain.

"What is this?" he asked, his voice coming out as barely a whisper.

"I was beginning to think I'd never find you," his whispered, his voice breaking as she walked over to him, stopping seconds away from him.

"Klaus!" Caroline begged, "Please stop. Please for me."

"As much as I hate you, I can't stay away from you. You're like this annoying tick. And somehow you've gotten under my skin and I can't shake you."

He turned back towards Caroline, his yellow eyes suddenly appearing as he roared loudly. "What is this!"

"Love is a vampire's greatest weakness. I am not supposed to feel but for some reason I do."

Caroline remained silent as each word played over in her mind causing her to close her eyes tightly and swallow the lump that had formed in her throat. She felt as his hands found her body and slammed her into some sort of barrier as his chest moved up and down quickly due to his heavy breathing. "Answer me!"

"Our future!" she screamed, finally regaining her strength and quickly pushing his body away from her. "Our possible future that we will never ever happen because no matter what you do or how many times you save me, you will always be the heartless monster who only cares about himself and his hybrid slaves!"

"Where are you Mother?" Klaus roared as he turned around and shouted into the sky, "I know this is of your doing. Show yourself so I can return you back to Hell."

"Take me home Daddy," Caroline stated bitterly, "I've seen enough. The sooner I can get the hell away from him the better."

"I can't say that your company is wanted right no either Darling," Klaus spat out earning himself an eye roll.

"Heartless physcopathic monster," Caroline muttered.

"Resorting to name calling now? Even I thought you were more mature than that," Klaus replied with a sarcastic smile.

"Enough!" Bill shouted after listening to the two threaten to kill each other, "Let me get one thing straight. You lay one hand on my daughter and I will personally see to it that you be killed. Understand?"

"Says the man that tried to fix his own daughter by nearly burning her to death," Klaus smirked. His smirk instantly fell as soon as he felt her hand collide with his cheek causing his face to move to the side quickly.

His hand instantly wrapped around her wrist and snapped it to the side, breaking it in the process. He hadn't meant to hurt her but he didn't tolerate abuse. He had gone through enough abuse with Mikael and he wasn't about to allow Caroline bloody Forbes lay one hand on him. "Try that again love. I won't be as nice next time."

She glarred at him before quickly using her other hand to twist his hand away from her. She rushed at him using her vampire speed as the veins beneath her eyes exposed and her fangs came seconds away from his flesh. "Go to Hell."

"You're pathetic. You know that right? You can't do anything right. You ruin everyone's plans all because you were so worked up about saving Klaus. Well congrats Caroline. You saved him alright and it's because of you that he's coming after me."

She removed herself from his body as her head snapped at the sound of his voice. Her eyes quickly found Tyler standing inches away from the future her. "No. No. Please no. Please."

"Hayley's werewolf bite should have killed you. It would have been better for me. I could have killed Klaus and easily became alpha male, but no, like I said. You ruined that for me."

Klaus felt every single ounce of anger that his body was capiable of holding swell up at once. How dare he even think he could speak to Caroline in that way? She wasn't pathetic - she was breathtakingly strong. He would kill Tyler the second they returned home and he would force that Hayley to eat his heart the second it was removed from his body.

His eyes broke to find Caroline grabbing on to him desperately, her blue eyes searching his with the most fear he had ever seen in her. "Please don't watch this. Please..."

Her voice broke on the last word as a single tear leaked down her cheek. But he couldn't break his eyes off of the scene in front of him. Tyler was hurting her - not physically - but emotionally and that was enough to upset him.

"Klaus," Caroline shouted, punching her fist against his chest to catch his attention, "Please. I'll do anything. If you stop listening I'll go on a date with you!"

The words were out of her mouth before she could even register what had been said but it seemed to do the job. He looked down at her with a smirk on his face, clearly not interested in what was happening behind them any longer. "A date as in actually take the chance to get to know me and enjoy your time with me?"

"That would be what a date is considered," she sighed sadly. Tyler would love this one. "But! No expensive dresses and do not try to buy me off."

"As you wish-" Klaus started but was silenced by placing a hand over where his heart should be. He gripped at his skin as the burning started to take over his entire body. He opened his mouth to accuse Caroline of doing something to cause the pain but shut it as soon as he saw her doubled over in pain with her hands clawing at her head. Whatever was happening had nothing to do with Caroline.

"Daddy do something!" Caroline begged but looked up to find herself alone with Klaus - the world that was just before them completely gone. "What's happening?"

"Monster. Monster. Monster. Monster."

Klaus shut his eyes as tight as they could possibly go as Caroline's voice sang the word monster through his mind. He had heard it before but there was something about the way her voice was speaking it that was driving him mad. His eyes flew open as soon as the voices stopped.

She was sitting in a chair besides him, chains on her feet and vervain ropes tied around her wrists. Her mouth was stained with her own blood and her shoulders were lined with wooden stakes. She was on the verge of death judging by her current appearance and way of speaking.

"Klaus? Klaus! What's wrong?" Caroline asked quickly as she stuided his facial expression. His eyes were glarring hatefully and his mouth was shut straight.

He hung from chains besides her. The chains obviously had to be spelled by a powerful witch to be able to hold him. He roared at the Salvatores as they happily used a white oak stake to draw across his chest, leaving a burning red line of blood to never heal.

Elena turned towards Caroline with a wicked look upon her face as she held two vervain plants. Slowly she placed them against Caroline's eyelids, causing the girl to scream out in pain. Klaus faught as hard as he possibly could to get to her side - kill the doppelganger and everyone else but found himself unable to break free.

"She's his weakness," Elena laughed sourly, "if we kill her first - he'll suffer more."

"Klaus?" Caroline shouted as the panic set in, "Klaus. What's wrong?"

"Don't you see it?" he answered with a low growl, his eyes never leaving the empty air resting before them.

"See what?" she asked slowly, squinting her eyes in hope to see whatever he was talking about.

"Oh Tyler," Damon snug out. Klaus watched as his old hybrid walked over to Caroline like he was something worth getting excited about. He kissed Caroline's wrist slowly causing even more anger to arise inside of him. Her screams filled the air as his yellow eyes appeared followed by the fangs. Within seconds he had managed to place at least six bite marks into Caroline's arm.

Klaus grabbed at Caroline's neck before she even had a chance to move. He tightened his grip on her making her almost positive that he had broken at least five bones. Her hands instantly found his as they tried to free her body from his hold but was unable to.

"Klaus," she coughed out, "it's me."

His dark eyes changed to a lighter shade suddenly as his hold on her loosened up. He looked at her with confused eyes as she returned the stare. Both opened their mouths to speak but each shut them back without one word being spoken.

"What's happening?" she whispered out right before releasing a loud scream.
