Dying. Death. One word, that could mean the difference. Hurt so many people, and yet, it was just a part of life. Though the second time around hearing such a word, stung. Caroline shook her head clear of those thoughts and looked at Damon, "I know what a wolf bite can do." She whispered.

"It kills." Damon commented.

"Yeah. I know. Though, you're not even slightly suspicious of why the hybrid bit you? I mean, Damon, this happened before. When Tyler bit you, and then.." she trailed off her sentence, not bothering to bring the past back up.

"I know."

"Then start explaining."

" What's to explain? I mean, if it's obvious to me, you should be able to tell."

" It's my fault." She said, a look of horror on her face as she realized.

" He knew, that if a hybrid bit me, I could, more so likely would, die. If I did indeed die, it would hurt not only me, but you."

" Then he's…" she couldn't think straight. The date with Klaus, she had enjoyed the evening, even kissed him. And to come back to the place she had been calling home for a day or so, to find Damon, with a fatal bite on his wrist? That wasn't love, it was sick, and sadistic.

" He never really…loved me…" she said.

" I'm just sorry you had to find out like this,"

" No." Caroline said abruptly, digging her nails into the side of her palm, as she tried to fight back the anger raging inside of her. " If he's going to hurt the people I care about and love, then I say he get's a taste of his own medicine." She hissed.

A small smirk appeared on Damon's lips, " Is Vampire Barbie going to kick some Hybrid ass?"

" Oh, you bet." Caroline said, a smirk appearing on her lips.

"Just couldn't get enough of me, could you love?" Klaus asked, as the door opened and he was let in.

"Something like that." Caroline returned, turning on her heel to face him.

"Are you here…alone?" he asked.

"Would it matter?" she asked, raising a brow.

"No, not at all. The house just seems…eerily quiet."

"Old house. It's bound to be quiet."

"Where's Damon? I'm sure they wouldn't just leave you, unprotected." He smirked.

" Shut up. Just stop talking." She hissed, becoming angrier by the second.

" Is it really that hard to believe that I fancy you, Caroline?"

"No, I know you do. I just didn't know that I draw attention to liars."

"Liar? I am no liar, I can assure you."

"You're lying about, lying. Unbelievable!" she said, throwing her hands up in frustration.

Suddenly, Klaus was in front of her, only a few inches apart. "What, is this about?" he asked, furrowing a brow.

"What is this about? This about you and you're damn hybrids." She growled.

"What?" he asked, confused and taken aback.

"You heard me, and because of your fucking hybrids, Damon's dying."

"Care to explain to me what you're talking about?"

" When Damon left the other day, He was jumped by your hybrid's and they bit him. Now, he's dying. Or, coming pretty close to it. This is your fault, you did this."

"I didn't do this, Caroline. As much as you want to believe that this was my doing, it wasn't. The Hybrid's, seem to have minds of their own and believe me they'll be punished, I'm sorry."

"Sorry isn't going to fix anything." She said, pausing to pinch the bridge of her nose. "God, don't you get it?"

" I know that without wolf blood soon, he will die. For good."

"Well, yeah. Your blood is what healed him the first time."

" Is that why you asked me here? To help him? Cure him?"

Her eyes glanced at the floor, "When you put it like that, it seems like I'm using you."

"Well, because you are. That's exactly what you're doing. But," he said, rolling up his sleeve. "I'll help you."

"Why?" she asked.

" I'm not going to let someone I love, watch someone they care about, die."

"…Thank you." She said.

He nodded, "Do you have a glass?" he asked.

She nodded, and walked over to the bar, grabbing a cup, and walked back over to him. "There."

"Thank you." He said.

Klaus quickly bit into his wrist, watching as the red liquid began to run, holding his wrist over the cup, he watched as it began to fill up with blood. Pulling back his wrist, he handed the cup to Caroline. "This should help."

"Thank you." She said softly, taking the cup in her hands.

He nodded curtly, "I should go. I've got…Hybrid's to scold, people to kill. And such." He said, as he headed towards the door. Caroline followed closely behind him.

"Really, thank you." She said softly.

He nodded, "You're welcome." He whispered, kissing her cheek gently, before turning and leaving. Shutting the door behind him, Caroline sighed aloud. Her heart fluttered in her chest, and she knew that was falling in love. With Klaus.

Heading up the stairs, she found Damon in his room, she had told him to go and rest while she got the blood from Klaus. He had, surprisingly, cooperated. "Hey," she said softly, walking into the room.

"Did you get it?" he asked, a brow raised.

She held the cup up for a moment, before setting it down on the bed side table next to him. "When Caroline Forbes is after something, she get's it. Usually." She said, a small smile on her lips.

Damon smiled softly, patting the space on the bed next to him, a weak cough coming from his lips. "Good, because I can feel myself getting worse by the second." He said, as she took the seat next to him, glancing around the room. "What's wrong?" he asked suddenly.

"Nothing," she said, and took the glass off the night stand and handed it to him. "Here, you need this." She said.

Damon complied, and drank the contents in the cup, with a sigh. Licking the blood off of his lips, he sighed. "Well, it's working that's for sure." He said, as he rolled up his sleeve and looked at the wound as it slowly began to get better. Caroline nodded, setting the now empty glass back on the table.

"Now, are you going to tell me what's wrong?" he asked.

Small tears had began to form in her eyes, and she couldn't seem to blink them back. Instead, letting them fall down her cheeks. Turning to face him, she sighed. " I love him, Damon."

It hurt to hear he say that, but he knew, in way that it was coming. "I know you do, Caroline."

" I'm…sorry. I let my emotions get in the way of our plan, and th-"

"No, Caroline. If anyone let their emotions get in the way, and screw up our plan, it was me. I shouldn't have let myself love you. I knew I should've just stuck to the plan. And for that I have to apologize. For leading you on, having you in turn fall for me, when I knew that you loved him all along. It was selfish of me, and childish." He took her hands in his, and gave her a sad smile. "All I want, is for you to be happy. Clearly, you're happiest when your with him. So, don't worry about me. I'll be fine, I'll find someone, and if not, that's perfectly alright too. I just want you to be happy, okay?" he asked.

The whole time Damon had spoke, she listened, drinking in his every word. Nodding, she wiped the tears from her eyes, and sighed. "Thank you, Damon." She whispered. He nodded, and wrapped his arms around her in a comforting hug.

"You'll be okay, Caroline. This isn't the end of the world."

"I know." She said. Getting up from the bed after a few minutes, she grabbed the cup and gave him a soft smile. "You should rest for the rest of the night, and I'll check on you tomorrow. I already let Stefan and Elena know what happened, and I told them I'm nursing you back to health." She said, a cheeky grin on her face.

"Thanks, Care."

"You're welcome." She said. "Get some rest, you need it." She said, before flicking the lights off in his room, and heading downstairs.

If either of them knew one thing for sure, it was that they could sleep peacefully tonight.

A/N: So? What do you think? I know the Klaroline was kind of rushed in the previous chapter, and I feel like this chapter was slightly rushed, so I must apologize. Sorry!

Don't worry though, I'll try not to rush anymore. Next chapter should be up soon, and we'll be seeing some more Klaroline! Oh, and the Stelena wedding shall take place. So, we'll see how that works out. I love the feedback and reviews, so please, keep reading and reviewing! :3
