I own nothing related to Vampire Diaries. Please enjoy and review! I am loving how quickly people have reviewed and added my story to favorites. Thanks to all!
Previously on A Second Chance At Love:
Klaus: Tyler is now free to return to Mystic Falls.
Caroline: What?
Tyler: I don't deserve you, Caroline.
Caroline: No, Tyler, please don't say that! We can be together and be happy again! Please don't leave me again!
Tyler went up to her, kissing her forehead. He hugged her one last time.
Tyler: Find someone, Caroline. Be happy. Live your life.
Klaus: Caroline, listen to me. Tyler was not worthy of your caliber. He dishonors you with this. You deserve much better than someone weak like him. You deserve everything the world has to offer you.
Caroline: Thank you. I have to go now, Klaus.
Klaus: Alright, love. My offer for you still stands. All you have to do is ask.
Jeremy: Hi Josh. Josh is a warlock.
Klaus: And what makes you think that I would even consider helping you?
Gina: Because if you don't then Caroline will never see the light of day again.
Klaus: And what is it that you need my help with, witch?
Gina: It's quite simple. I need your helping imprisoning Silas again.
And now chapter 2:
"You want me to help you imprison Silas?" he double checked.
"Yes," the witch said simply.
"The last witch who went up against him ended up dead and she was Katsia's descendent. I don't think that you have the power to even stand in the same room as him so you will forgive me if I refuse your help on little ludicrous farce."
Klaus began to walk away.
"Fine, then I will let my son kill her," She said walking away.
He vamped over to her.
"If you harm even a hair on her head, I will kill you and everyone you have ever loved."
"Then help me," she said confidently.
"What you ask is impossible. You are nowhere near strong enough for Silas."
"I'm not, but my family is."
Klaus looked at her closely.
"Why should I think to believe that your family will help?"
"Because, we are related to you, Klaus," she said, "My ancestor is your mother's sister. You are a very long distant cousin. We have the blood of the original witch, one of the most powerful bloodlines in the world. The power of our coven will stop him."
Klaus looked at fiercely.
"I don't believe you."
She moved her sleeve up to show him a tattoo. It was a mark that his mother had on her ankle which makes the symbol of their bloodline whenever the women become of age. Only his family would know that symbol and only his family as a human could have it. He looked up at her.
"Like it or not, we are family, no matter how distant. The spirits demand that Silas be imprisoned once again and I need your abilities to take him down."
Klaus looked up at his long distant cousin.
"Where do we start?" he asked.
She smiled at him, "First, we return to Mystic Falls."
Caroline and Elena were walking the old Lockwood property. All sorts of memories flooded between them. Now they were talking about college and whatever future they can have together.
"Where are you going for school?" Elena asked.
"Well, I saw a few good colleges like Purdue and Denver and all sorts but I haven't decided yet. You?"
"I don't know. I don't know what to do."
"You should go, Elena. I know that it will be what your family would want."
"Caroline! Elena!" a voice called in the distance.
Jeremy came up with Josh next to him.
"Josh and I were going to a party later, you guys want to go?"
"Sure," Elena said.
Caroline sighed, "I think that I'll go run some errands. I'll see you guys later."
She said her goodbyes and took off in her car. She drove until she found the old Lockwood property. She trudged through woods alone. She swung around a tree as she walked, smelling the air, hearing every little sound around her. This was her therapy; her way of letting herself feel free. This was where she and Tyler first kissed. She found the old tomb underground. This was where he first changed into a werewolf. Even though she should hate him, she just couldn't drop every feeling about him like that. A sound made her stop. She didn't expect anyone to be here. She's usually the only one here. Another sound came from a distance.
"Who's there?" she asked.
No one was there. Then she saw two hybrids appear. She stepped back from them.
"Caroline Forbes? Klaus is fond of you," one said.
"It's nothing personal, darling," the other said.
With that they attacked her. She threw, kicked and punched at them but they kept coming. She managed to drop one of them dead but the other go on top of her.
"You will pay for killing him," he said preparing to bite her.
In an instant, the hybrid gasped and grunted. He fell to the side to reveal Klaus standing over her with the hybrid's heart in his hand.
"Hello, love. I see I missed one before I left," he smiled dropping the heart. She let him help her to her feet.
"What are you doing here?" she sighed in relief. She didn't realize that she was grasping his hand still. She quickly let his hand go and cleared her throat.
"I came to see you again."
"Just me?"
"Well and to see about putting Silas out of his misery."
"How are you planning to do that?"
"I have a witch who believes that she has a plan to imprison him again. I think that it's time for a little pay back to him."
She smiled, so glad to see him.
"You somehow manage to appear when I need help," she pointed out, "the phone call and now this rescue."
He smiled with her, "it does appear so." He started pulling up his sleeve.
"What are you doing?" she asked him.
"Well unless you want to die a slow and painful death, you may want to have at it." He nodded toward her wrist.
She looked at her wrist. It was bitten. She held it up to see. She didn't even feel the bite.
"Here, sweetheart," he offered his wrist.
She slowly held onto his arm. She stepped closer to him. She kept eye contact with him as she slowly brought her mouth to his skin. He smiled in encouragement as she bit down. He was seriously turned on with her biting him. He kept his cool as she drank from him. When Caroline brought her head up from his wrist, she was nearly nose to nose with him. She froze at how close they were. Klaus just stared at her. God she was a goddess. She smelled like roses to him. He could sense her heart racing and her body reacting to him. He smiled gently to her. Slowly, he lifted a hand to her face as though if he moved too fast then she would bolt. He touched her carefully, assessing her reaction.
"I have missed you, Caroline. My only regret was leaving you to have to overcome such betrayal from another," he whispered.
She blinked as she breathed in his scent. His expensive cologne was intoxicating. She was so overwhelmed with the scent that she had to hold onto his shoulders to stay upright.
Klaus felt a sense of pleasure knowing that she needed him for strength. He gazed into her lovely eyes. He could see that she was unsure how to react to this moment. It was as though she was debating on what to do inside her head. Then he found himself leaning toward her face. How he wanted to know how she felt against his own lips. The taste of her as they kissed in the woods. He edged cautiously for fear of her deciding to deny him. Klaus could hear her heart beat racing faster as he drew nearer to her lips. He stroked her cheek.
"You are the most precious thing in the world to me, Caroline. Never forget that."
Caroline was panting silently. She body was hot and she felt some delight in him leaning toward her. Her question is, should she let him connect to her lips? Should she finally give in to him? What was the worst that could happen? She parted her lips as sensed him nearly against hers. She shut her eyes tightly as she waited for the kiss. Then Klaus did something that
she didn't expect. As though he sensed her inner doubts, he lifted his head to her forehead, planting his kiss there. He held his kiss there for a bit, savoring the moment. He rested his forehead against hers.
"I care for you deeply, Caroline. I can wait for you for an eternity if I must. I will never give up on you," he said.
She looked up at him with soft eyes. She smiled as he stroked her cheek with his thumb. Then her phone went off, they were so into the moment that Caroline didn't hear it right away. Klaus straightened and let go of her face. She sighed as she brought out her phone.
"Hello?"
"Caroline? Where are you?" Elena asked.
"I'm heading home, what's up?"
"Bonnie told Jeremy that Silas is coming back in town."
"Why would he come back?"
"He probably wants to kill us for ruining his chances of being reunited with Katsia."
"Okay, do you guys have a plan?"
"Bonnie's going to look into that. Until then be careful."
"With my luck? Right."
"Come by the house and we can try to figure it out, Care."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Caroline hangs up, looking at Klaus.
"Are you the reason why Silas is returning?" Caroline asked with a head tilt.
"I have no idea, but I can consult my witches about it."
"Okay, well, we should go over to the Salvatore house."
They started walking into the woods together. Klaus offered his arm to her. She hesitated for a moment but shrugged and wrapped her arm around his.
"Are Elena and Jeremy living there now?"
"Yeah, um," clearing her throat, "After Jeremy was brought back to life by Bonnie, he needed a place to stay and the Salvatore house was really the only place next to living in Tyler's old house with Matt, so."
Klaus looked confused.
"How is Jeremy back to life? Even the most powerful of witches couldn't defy the forces of nature that way."
She looked sad all the sudden, "Bonnie performed the spell, but it ended up killing her. That's how she died."
Klaus nodded as they went.
"A girl sacrificing herself for the one she loves," he noted.
Caroline sighed as they went.
Elena was sitting near Damon on the coach. Stefan was leaning against a door frame. Jeremy looked like he must be talking to Bonnie while he stood near the fireplace.
"What should we do about Silas?" Elena asked everyone.
"Well, without Bonnie being here anymore the spell that turned to stone failed so we may not be able to find a witch strong enough to do it this time," Stefan said.
"Bonnie's trying to figure out how to at least protect ourselves from him but until then, we need to be careful in case he appears as one of us again," Jeremy said.
Just then, Caroline entered the house. The others looked confused when Klaus followed her inside.
"We didn't expect you to show," Damon snarled, "I thought your ass would be have wasted with the Marde Gras."
Klaus did his side grin, "Yes, well, I figured I would stop by and see if I could lend my assistance with your little Silas problem. If I hadn't arrived then the lovely Caroline wouldn't be standing here with us."
"What?" Stefan asked.
"Caroline, what happened?" Elena asked.
"It's not a big deal. Some of the surviving hybrids tried to attack me and Klaus saved me," Caroline said casually.
The others relaxed a little. Damon stood up to look at Klaus better.
"More like he sent those hybrids over to Caroline so he could show up as her knight and shining armor, hoping that she would fall for him, finally," he mocked.
Klaus flashed in front of him.
"My hybrids have deserted me and know that I would kill them without a second thought if they so much as look at her the wrong way. You mind your tongue before I rip it out," he snarled.
A hand touched his shoulder. Klaus turned his head slightly to see Caroline standing next to them, prepared to break up a fight.
"Guys, not the place and not the time," Caroline snapped.
"She's right. We need to work together if we are to find out how to stop Silas," Stefan said.
"And I think I have the solution," a voice said from the halls. Two sets of steps came through the house. Everyone turned to see who it was. Klaus wasn't worried at all.
"About time you should up," he growled.
"Sorry Klaus, not all of us can move faster than humans," the woman voice said. She rounded the corner and stood at the entrance to the room.
"You're a witch," Jeremy said.
"You know her?" Caroline asked Klaus.
"I met her at New Orleans a few days ago. She had the gull to threaten to hurt you if I didn't cooperate but it would appear that we have a mutual agreement that we all wish Silas out of our hair," Klaus said glaring at the witch.
"How do you plan on accomplishing this?" Stefan asked.
"With the power of a witch's circle," she said, "And with that, I need all of your help."
"You are related to the original witch?" Jeremy asked.
Bonnie must be telling him all this.
"Yes I am."
"If you are a relative to the original witch, then how do we know that we can trust you? She tried to kill all the originals which would have killed most of us here since Klaus started our bloodline. How do we know that we can trust you at all and how do we know that this isn't another backstabbing plot to kill every last one of us?" Damon said walking up to her.
"I can only give you my word. Silas is a plaque that must be stopped. The spirits demand my family of this."
"Why you?" Elena asked.
"Because Silas is trying to find a way to see Katsia again and I fear that he may have found another way."
"And how would that work?" Caroline asked.
"By sacrificing everyone from this town," a male voice said. The man stepped around the corner behind the witch.
"Josh?" Jeremy asked.
Say what?! LOL I know I'm a brat for ended chapters with suspense but that only makes readers want to read more right? I hope you enjoy what my story has to offer!
