Hey guys! Sorry that it's taken so long for me to update but I had some problems with uploading and then lost all the work I had done and had to start again. This was then made worse by me becoming ill. I promise that I will upload more regularly from now on. Hope you enjoy chapter three!

Caroline's POV

I wake with a start, not knowing if I am dead or alive. My head is pounding! I look around the room, trying to figure out if this is real or not. I noticed someone in the corner of the room but my eyes hadn't adjusted yet, so I couldn't identify who it was…

Tyler?I thought, avoiding saying anything in case it wasn't him. I willed the thick cloud of blurring in my eyes to subside. I squint, trying to speed up the process, but it doesn't really help. Moments later, the person turns around and walks towards me and I know exactly who it is-Klaus.

The events that I assume occurred last night was last night, all of a sudden come flooding back to me. He saved me. He actually saved me. I thought for a minute that his need of revenge for Tyler was going to overthrow his feelings for me, and that this was going to result in me in a shallow grave in the middle of the woods. I knew that I saw pain in his eyes when I brought up the fact that he may actually have emotions. OH, MY GOD! He practically admitted that he was in love with me. I knew the whole time, but I never expected him to admit them to anyone, let alone me, in a million year, literally! I must have been lost in thought because when I flashed back to reality, Klaus was sitting on the coffee table right next to the couch I am laying on, stroking my hair, smiling. Why didn't I trust that smile?

"You're awake." He says soothingly, I never knew that a gentle sound like that could escape his lips. His smile grew even kinder.

"So it's true. You're not just a pretty face." I croak, sarcastically, forcing a smile on my aching face. He chuckles, sending electric shivers up my spine. Where's Tyler?

"Seems that even a near death experience doesn't cause you to stray from your quick wit, hey love?" He says, looking at me with such strong emotion that I would have made my knees go weak and my head go fuzzy I was stood up…..I push it down, blaming it on my fragile state physically and mentally. He can't have those kinds of effects on me, can he? I start to try and force myself into a seating position, but am stopped by his gentle hand slowly pushing me down. "You need to relax, love. Let me help you" He pauses, looking straight into my eyes for permission, but it feels like he is looking straight into my soul. I take a deep breath and nod. His concern and ability to make me feel both sick and, well…other things, made my dead heart flutter, but again, I force them as low as I can. I feel a ribbon of guilt wrap around my chest. Tyler…

"Where's Tyler?" I ask, weakly. He looks away, spiking a suspicion I didn't know was there in the first place. "Where's Tyler, Klaus?" I question more urgent than before, swinging my legs around so that I was completely facing him, despite my body's protests.

"I told him to leave when he came to see if I had let you die." He says nonchalantly, but avoiding eye contact.

"Are you kidding me?" I scream, as loud as I can with a throat that feels like sand paper. How could he do something so evil? After everything that happened last night, I seriously thought he could change-that there was still some good in him.

"Well, it was either send him away or kill him. And I know that you would have wanted him to live, so here we are." He said, turning his head and looking me straight in my eyes. Anything that I used to think I saw in them had disappeared now, making me wonder if there was even anything there in the first place.

"Are you seriously trying to make this sound like my fault? If I actually did get a say, Tyler would be here right now!" I stand up, wincing as my body feels its weight for the first time since I woke up. I stumble, almost falling, but I regain my balance, slightly light-headed. Klaus move forward as if to help me but stops when I put my hand up and mutter that I am fine.

"I sent him away because he doesn't deserve you. He can't give you what you want. You would never be happy with an ordinary town boy. Well, hybrid. I just want you to be happy." He says quietly. I look in his eyes, and they look like they are pleading with mine to be okay with his choice, or at least why he had done it. Unfortunately for him, I was far too angry for any kind of reasoning he might want to try. I unnecessarily take a deep breath, which helps me calm down slightly.

"If you really wanted me to be happy, you wouldn't have sent Tyler away in the first place." I state. I start to make my way towards the door of the Gilbert house, determined to get out of here as soon as possible. I had intended my voice to sound more angry and threatening, but all that came out was disappointment and sadness. Why do I have such high expectations of Klaus? Except from saving my life last night, what has he ever done to deserve all of the second chances I have given him? I am almost out the door when I hear him coming towards me. Pity there is an invisible barrier stopping him from getting out.

"Caroline, don't leave." He begs, as if reading my mind and realising that he can't follow me. I ignore him and walk out onto the porch, shutting the door behind me. I stand next to the steps, looking out towards the street. WHERE AM I GOING TO GO? My mom's at work, Tyler's been BANISHED, and everyone else is on that island looking for the freaking CURE FOR VAMPIRISM! Suddenly, I feel a surge of energy pass through me and all of my surroundings.

"What the hell?" I say to myself, confused. What the hell was that? Is someone here? I step down the steps slowly, looking around the front yard to see if anyone was lurking or hiding somewhere near. The street is pretty much empty except for a middle aged jogger, a teenage girl walking her dog and a toddler riding a bright blue tricycle. I decide to focus on a different on of my vamp senses. I close my eyes and listen to my surroundings: leaves rustling in the breeze, children giggling in their back yard. I try harder. Someone gossiping on the phone next door, the squeaking chain of a swing and…..a chuckle. Of course. It isn't just any chuckle, it's the satisfied chuckle of a certain delusional, sociopathic, British vampire. I clench my teeth and turn around to see Klaus sitting on the porch swing, pretending to expect his nails, apparently out of his magical cage. He vamps behind me.

"You might want to check on the Bennett witch. It seem that something terrible has happened." He whispers in my ear, with no other emotion than the not so slight hint of fulfilment.

When I am over trying to hide blatant shiver down my spine, caused by Klaus' breath on my neck, I think of something to say, but decide that he really isn't worth it. I grunt in frustration and whip around to give him the most intimidating look I can muster and walk away from him. I pull out my phone and dial Bonnie's number. No answer. There really is something wrong. I resolve to not call Elena in case they are in some battle or something. With worry filling my to the brink of exploding, I try Tyler. Hopefully he hasn't left yet. He is all that I have right now.
