Chapter 1
Caroline knew she should be at Stefan's, but for some reason she was walking through the town square area. She was hoping that everything went okay and she would be seeing Tyler soon. She hoped that Klaus was put in Rebekah's body and they would be free of the original hybrid forever.
She stopped walking when she heard voices coming from nearby. The town's winter celebration had already broken up and the families had gone home. She recognized the voices right off as Tyler's mom and Klaus.
She had no idea why Klaus was near Carol, he should be in his sister's body right now. She also didn't know why Carol was here alone. What in the hell had Tyler been thinking not taking his mom home before this went down tonight. Carol would be an easy target because she'd seen the drinks she'd been having.
Caroline picked up one of the metal stakes that was holding up a tent and took off at full speed. She couldn't stand by and not do something to save Carol. She was her boyfriend's mom, an ally in the battle that was going on, and she'd risked her life once to keep her safe.
She had gotten stuff together for Tyler and her to escape Mystic Falls, but that hadn't gone as planned. She sometimes still wished that Tyler and she could have left together. She already hated Haley and she knew that Carol hated the she-wolf. She had brunch twice a week with Carol so she knew a few things that Tyler didn't.

Klaus was covered in the blood of his hybrids. He was standing in front of Carol ready for his revenge on Tyler. It was really poetic because without Carol, Tyler had no one. He told Carol just that and that Tyler was all she had. He had decided what he was going to do to punish Tyler for what he had done to him.
It wasn't going to be killing him. That would be too easy. Klaus wanted him to suffer just as much as he was now. He had taken his family away from him, he would do the same. He was regretting every single day making Tyler a hybrid. He was becoming the thorn in his side.
Carol looked up at Klaus asking him not to kill Tyler. She couldn't live without her son. She wished that she had made Tyler leave with Caroline after Klaus had left his body. It had not been safe since then for the two of them. She had thought she was going to lose Tyler when he'd been shot point blank by the vampire hunter that came to town.
She hadn't wanted to agree to letting the hybrids stay at her house. It was for Tyler's protection though and she just wished she could do it differently now. She had thought she was going to lose Tyler earlier in the night, but he had said he found another way to get rid of Klaus. She didn't know what it was, but it hadn't worked.

She was worried now because Klaus was here and Tyler was missing. "What did you do with my son?" Carol asked. She just hoped that the blood he had on him wasn't from Tyler.
"Nothing yet," Klaus said, "But I am going to take the last person he has away,"
Carol didn't know what Klaus meant by that and she tried to get up. However, Klaus was stronger than she was and she felt the water on her face before she saw it coming.
"You're Wrong," Caroline said send, "He has me too," she shoved the metal stake into Klaus back. It wouldn't kill him; nothing would, but the white oak stake. However, it would hurt like a bitch because she twisted it making sure a huge hole was left there. She jerked it out shoving it back into his spine with all the force she had. She did all of that in under a minute leaving the metal stake in his back.
Klaus yelled out in pain, his face shifting as his fangs came out. His hand reached out for Caroline's heart, but she was already gone. Klaus fell to his knees noticing that Carol was gone as well. Klaus reached back jerking the stake out of his spine falling over. He was done with Caroline too. She might be beautiful, but the second he got the chance she was dead too.

Caroline sped into Elena's house because it was the only safe place. She let go of Carol making she didn't fall over from the quick stop. Carol was soaked from Klaus shoving her into the fountain of water. She knew that if she hadn't been out for a walk that Carol would be dead right now. That would have meant Tyler would have lost yet another family member. This town had taken too much from him already; she couldn't let it happen again.
"Are you okay?" Caroline asked doing a once over of Carol to make sure that Klaus hadn't bitten her too. She let out a sigh of relief because she didn't want to risk Carol dying from blood loss. She only had a small scratch on her wrist.
"He was going to kill me," Carol said looking at Caroline. She had seen her entire life flashing before her eyes. She had always known that living in this town could be the death of her. She just never knew how true that was until tonight.
"But he didn't, you're safe," Caroline said back, "I got you out of there," it was the second time she had saved Carol in a year. She had done the same thing last year when the tomb vampires had tried to kill her. "I just need to call Tyler,"
Carol held onto Caroline's arm when she went to pull away. She felt scared and she knew that Caroline could see it in her eyes. She didn't care however because Caroline had become like a daughter to her.
She had taken care of Tyler every time he needed her and she was doing it for her again. She wished that she could be fearless like Caroline was. "Thank you, for saving me again," she said not caring about the tears. She had just almost died she had a right to fall apart for once.

"You're Welcome," Caroline wrapped her arms around Carol letting her cry. She wouldn't tell anybody that she had broken down. She still hadn't told a soul to this day that the strongest person she knew cried sometimes. "It's okay to break, I have," she said because she sometimes still cried when it was a bad day.
She'd lie in Tyler's arms and he'd hold her while she let the tears out. She could take comfort in him every day. She had held him a few times when he'd been the broken one. He was the strongest person she knew alive or of the undead.
Carol knew that Caroline didn't have to save her. She had once vervianed her and handed her over to be dealt with. She knew the truth now though and if Tyler wanted to be with Caroline; she wouldn't do anything besides give them her blessing. She had apologized to Caroline for what she had done and still tried to make it up to her. Caroline was the right girl for her son and it was clear that Caroline would risk her life for them.
Caroline had long since forgiven Carol for the things that had happened. She was just glad that she had gotten to Carol in time. She couldn't imagine what would have happened if she hadn't. She didn't want Carol to die because Tyler still needed his mom just as much as she needed hers.

Caroline got Carol to the couch before she went upstairs to get some towels and see if there were any of Jenna's clothes still boxed up. She remembered Elena putting one box in the closet instead of giving it away.
Caroline took out her phone and she called Stefan telling him she wasn't going to be coming to his house, "Are you okay?" Stefan asked worried that Caroline had gotten hurt. She had a knack for putting her life at risk for the ones she loved.
"Yes, but Carol almost died Stefan, She was caught in this cross fire and it's not right," Caroline pulled the box of clothes she found down knowing that Elena wouldn't mind. "She's innocent Stefan,"
"I know, Caroline, is there anything I can do?" Stefan asked.
"No, I am getting her some dry clothes now, and we're at Elena's house. It's the only place she is safe in this town." Caroline said back before grabbing a towel from the bathroom. "I have to call Tyler; he has to know she is okay,"
"Just be careful, Caroline. Don't let Tyler go after Klaus, it's the last thing that needs to happen right now," He didn't know what had gone wrong or why Klaus hadn't been put into Rebekah's He had wanted the sword earlier that day, but nobody needed to die to get it.
"I will, and I think his mom almost dying will keep him here tonight," Caroline said before she said bye and hung up her phone.
She had tried calling Tyler first, but he hadn't answered. She sent him a text this time telling him to get his ass to Elena's house and now. She knew it would get his attention because she'd put it in bold. Klaus couldn't get in the house, but that didn't mean he wouldn't try and find Carol or her.
She went back downstairs and found Carol asleep on the couch. She put the clothes on the coffee table before going to make some coffee. She wasn't about to go to sleep because she didn't know where Tyler was at. She also didn't know where Klaus was at right now, which made her nervous. Once the coffee was made and if Carol woke up she would move her upstairs to the guest room.
