I am back and ready to write. I really haven't been writing because of my laptop breaking down. Then Christmas came and I got a new laptop so now I can start writing again. Sorry for the wait. I will try to post sooner and sorry for the wait. The only reason for me to post this now is because of me staying home from school. Once again, sorry about the wait. Happy Reading!

Chapter 8

It was noon by the time we finished cleaning up, I was so tired. I was now sitting on the couch drinking some water. Kol and Bonnie finally came down helped us around 11. Those two lazy lovers. Even though I knew that Bonnie and Jeremy were a thing at one point but there was something about Bonnie and Kol that made me want root for them. I looked over my shoulder at Bekah who was drying off the last of the dishes with Elijah and Elena. Who knew maybe they will get together?

"What are you thinking about, Care?" I felt someone sit down next to me. I glanced over and saw Tyler picking up my legs and setting them on top of his lap.

"No-nothing." I stuttered. "I was just thinking about the fact that…" That you and Klaus know about the baby...About who is the father...That you are actually not being a total ass. "Kol and Bonnie are now a thing."

"So… you think so." I heard Kol say.

"I have a question for you Caroline." Kol asked as I heard him come closer. "Who do you think the father is?" Kol whispered in my ear. I knew my eyes went wide. "Ow. What the hell was that for?" I looked up to see that Kol was rubbing the back of his head and Bonnie was holding a book in her hand.

"Don't ask such things if you don't want to get hit." Bonnie told him as she started to set the book down. "Next time, it won't be a book."

"Why the hell would you ask her that?" I heard Bekah yell. "Of course, we know who the Father is. The real question is if it is a boy or girl. I really want a girl."

"Right, then who is…" Bekah cut off Bonnie from finishing but saying, "Nik is." We all just stared at her. Why the hell would she say that with Tyler sitting right next to me? "Right, Caroline? Nik is the best bet. The pup over there couldn't have done this and you know it is true." I just rolled my eyes at her and looked away. I could feel Tyler's nails sinking into my leg. I looked at him.

"There is no way that the original bastard is the father." Tyler growled as his nails went deeper into my skin.

"Tyler, I…" He looked up at me. His eyes were yellow. "There is really no real way to tell you but…"

"Don't say it." He growled again. I yanked my legs away from him. As I did that though, his nails scratched me. "It's not true."

"I have... to agree with her. It really… is possible that... this baby… does not belong to you." I dragged out as I got up from where I was sitting only to be yanked back down. I only had to glance back at his to see that he was angry. "Tyler let go." I whispered as i felt his hand squeezed my hand until I heard the bones start to break. I knew that at this point everyone was on edge because of how heavy the room was.

"Let go. You are starting to hurt me." I say as I pulled my arm away from him but his grip stays tight. I could see his eyes growing more yellow and his teeth start to grow. Is he going to change? He then stood up fast taking me with him and started to walk away from the group. He walked us up to Klaus's bedroom and kicked the door in. Klaus was sitting on his bed checking his phone or something. Klaus's eyes shot straight up and stared into my now scared eyes. Tyler then whipped his arm up and pulled me close to him. "Tyler, what are you…" I was cut off due to Tyler leaning down and biting my neck. "What the hell? Let go, Tyler." I yelled as he let go of my neck.

"What is wrong with you?" Klaus asked as he started to stand up. "You do know that I can just heal her, right?"

"Yes, but you can't heal the child." I knew my eyes when wide with fear. "You will have to choose Klaus: the baby or Caroline? You and I both know you can't choose both." I just stood there, holding my neck as I watched Klaus smirk grow wide.

"Or I could just heal both of them at the same time." I felt Tyler let go of my hand and grip onto the back of my neck. "You know, for someone who says he is smart, is actually really stupid. What exactly will this prove?" I wanted to be let go. I slammed my elbow into his side and he instantly let go of me and I fell to the floor.

"Screw this. I am done playing second, Care." He leaned down and gripped my hand again. "This is only a question. But what would you choose, Care. The Baby or you?"

"I would choose me." I said as I let my hand fall from my neck. Tyler just looked at me shocked.

"You would save yourself instead of our baby." He squeezed the back of my neck.

"You said to choose, Tyler. I chose myself to die." I said as I felt a tear roll down my face. "I can the venom slowly make its way through my blood… through my nervous system… through my veins… it will eventually reach my child and slowly kill him. So if you are going to kill someone kill me." I felt the rest of the tears rolling down. "Don't kill Nik or yourself or Elena or Kol or Bonnie or anyone other than me. Kill me. Leave our friends and family alone. If you are out for blood, take mine. But leave my child and his daddy alone." I could feel his hand tighten even more. He then threw me to the floor at Klaus's feet.

"You chose Caroline. I hope you happy with it." Tyler said as he turned.

"Just a little reminder pup." Klaus was right behind Tyler with his hand through his stomach. "If you ever endanger, the people I care about again. I promise I will not missed a second time." Klaus then threw Tyler away like he was a piece of paper and slammed the door in his face. He sighed and walked over to me.

He held his wrist up to my mouth and I bit into it as he picked me up and laid us down on his bed. "Don't ever scare me like that again."
