The Grill and The Plan

。，。，。

The next morning Caroline woke up in the Original's room. As she looked around a million bad thoughts popped into her head. Fear over took her, how was she suppose to face her friends, especially Bonnie who already disapproved of the whole idea that 'Klaus still has humanity'. She couldn't believe she just slept with Klaus, of all the people it had to be him. She knew she wasn't in love with him, but she also couldn't deny the fact that she felt something amazingly special. Caroline covered her face with her hands and moaned in distress.

"Well good morning to you too sweetheart." Klaus said; she didn't even realize that she was completely nuzzled into his chest for it felt so natural and she felt so safe. He used one arm to brush her hair away from her covered faced and kept the other arm under and around her waist. He pulled her a little closer and she just moaned sadly. "What's wrong love, I thought you enjoyed your stay."

"Everyone's going to hate me!" Caroline moved her hands away from her face and curled into Klaus. "And yes, I did enjoy my stay." She smiled and rubbed her and along his shirtless body. She used her finger to outline his defined abs and then settled herself in a comfortable position. "How am I supposed to tell my friends?"

"Love, you don't have to. It'll be our little secret." He said with a smile as he put a finger up to his lips. Then he moved it to stroke and play with her blond curls. He could tell she was completely freaking out. On the other hand, Klaus himself was in complete bless. He had a romantic evening with the girl he wanted to be his companion and it lasted much longer than he expected. He still didn't understand completely why he fell head over heels for Caroline, but by this point, he didn't even care. To him, she was as close, even closer, to being a family member than his actual brothers and sister.

"I do have to." Caroline mumbled out. She dug her face into his bare skin and let out a sigh. "I'm so dead." With that Klaus moved himself to kiss her on the forehead and then he slid out of her grasp smoothly to sit on the side of the bed. He looked back to see Caroline beautifully laying there in the morning sun. Boy did he wish he had his sketchpad, but he knew he'd have this image in his head for a while.

"Well, I could go with you, but your friends don't seem to fancy me as much as you do." He sarcastically said. She perked herself up on one arm and just glared at him. He smiled and then went to pick up his and her clothes off the floor. He could feel her intense stare, so he turned around to do the same. He was standing up in his boxers, holding a bunch of clothes and she was lying in bed with the covers covering the lower half of her body then the top half only covered by her black-laced bra. "You look beautiful by the way." Klaus tried to lighten the mood, and he succeeded. She laughed and tossed a pillow as him, which he let hit him, so then he could get back in bed a play around.

。，。，。

Finally the two came down from the bedroom to join the rest of the family for breakfast. Caroline felt awkward for she knew Rebekah didn't like her, Kol was narcissistic, and Elijah would probably be very judgmental.

"Well it looks like Bekah isn't the only scandal!" Little original, Kol, laughed out.

"Oh shut up Kol" Klaus immediately threw back at him. He watched as his little brother just laughed and walked out of the kitchen. Caroline could feel Kol looking her up and down as e walked by.

"Klaus, I think I should get going." She stated, feeling extremely awkward. She looked back as if checking if someone was behind her and then back at Klaus's eyes. Klaus then walked towards her and placed an arm on her back to lead her to the door. He opened it for her and she walked out, where he followed. "I can find my way back home." She teased.

"Well that's not what I'm worried about." Klaus said with concern. He walked over to his SUV and opened the passenger door for her. "Come on love!" Caroline rolled her eyes and smiled, she hopped in the seat and Klaus sped around the driver's seat. "To the Grill." Caroline looked at him in disbelief. She knew all her friends would be there and she wasn't even able to admit to herself what just happened. She's been trying to not be the "old Caroline" and now this just ruined everything.

"No!" She shouted shaking her head. The car was already moving in the direction of the dreaded confrontation.

"Calm down Caroline." Klaus spoke sternly, but sweetly. "You don't have to tell them anything, only if you want to."

"What would I say?" She questioned. She was gazing out the window, watching the scenery blur as the care drove.

"Something along the lines of; Tyler's an asshole, he attacked me again, Klaus saved me, he's not so bad." He looked over and smiled at her; she was looking down but laughing.

"Yeah, something along those lines." Her head shook in a teasing no movement. She saw the grill in her sight and her heart started to race. She kept thinking to herself that she is an idiot, how did she get in this mess. Love triangles were Elena's thing!

。，。，。

At the grill she saw Matt bartending and walked over. She needed a drink. After last night she was exhausted and overwhelmed, and with future events about to happen, she definitely needed some. Matt walked over and poured her a shot of vodka. He didn't say hi or anything, but just kept refilling her drink. Caroline also didn't say hi, just because he didn't. It was really juvenile of them both, but Caroline was just too overtaken by everything that had been happening.

"Hey blonde, isn't it a little early to start drinking?" A voice said from behind, as he took her shot and gulped it down. Caroline rolled her eyes; she did not want to deal with Damon right now. He would be the worst reactor, next to Bonnie, because of how much he cared for Elena. Caroline managed to convince herself the Damon was once just as bad as Klaus, he was manipulative and killed for fun.

"Its none of your business." Caroline snapped; Matt looked over and brought a shot glass for Damon.

Damon gulped down the shot and said; "Better turn that frown upside down, Elena and Bonnie are here." Caroline dug her nails into her hair and closed her eyes. She didn't want to face Bonnie and didn't want to hear Elena try to give her advice. She could here the doors creaking open, so she took a deep breath and collected herself.

"Hey Care! I haven't seen you in forever!" Elena said with a bright smile, and gave her a hug.

"Yeah sorry, I've just had a lot going on." Caroline replied. She gave Elena a very faint smile, and could see Bonnie given her a look. She gave a wave to Bonnie and shyly said, "Hey Bonnie."

The five of them sat and talked for quite sometime. Bonnie gave her the cold shoulder the whole time, and it was mostly Elena and Damon talking. Caroline didn't say a word about Tyler or Klaus, and hoped that Bonnie hadn't said anything. Caroline stayed mainly in a daze, thinking about her past couple days. She was snapped out of her daydream, when she heard Elena say "Hey Tyler." That was Caroline's queue to leave.

Meanwhile, Klaus was outside eavesdropping the whole time. He got antsy when he heard Elena say Tyler's name. He didn't see him walk in through the front, but he knew Caroline would not be happy if he just waltz in right then and there.

"Hey guys." He said and pulled up a chair next to Caroline. She wanted to move, but she couldn't do anything in front of her friends. Bonnie was giving Tyler a cold stare, the same angry stare shed been giving Caroline the whole time.

"I got to go." Caroline stood up, which made Tyler get up and grab her arm.

"I just got here Care, lets have a drink." He said smiling at her. She was disgusted that he was trying to play off that nothing happened. She yanked her hand away making Damon and Elena flinch in amazement. Tyler got angry and grabbed her harder to force her to stay. Everyone was shocked at Tyler's aggressiveness.

"Let go of me!" She demanded, but he didn't loosen the grip.

"She said let go mate." Everyone looked up, no body saw how fast Klaus flashed in her. He broke the hold he had on Caroline and stepped in between them. Klaus and Tyler exchanged hate filled stares while everyone else got up to leave. Damon grabbed Elena and darted out of there, Matt went back to his bar and Bonnie just sat and observed every little detail.

"Klaus, its ok." Caroline said shyly. Klaus didn't back down, he still stood in between them like a wall.

"I hate you." Tyler spat at him.

"That's not really the issue now is it?" Klaus turned back at Caroline, and then used his eyes to look back at Tyler. "You don't really want to make a mess here, do you?" Tyler forcefully knocked into Klaus's shoulder and headed for the back door. Klaus followed in determination to crush the brat.

The second both of them were outside, Caroline turned to Bonnie in distress. "Bonnie, is there anything you can do?" Bonnie nodded and headed for the exit. Caroline could hear the breaking and clashing of bodies being thrown. She could hear every verbal attack Tyler spoke and Klaus's respectful defense.

The two girls came outside to watch Klaus throw a glass bottle at Tyler's face. The shards got into Tyler's eyes, but he still didn't back down. Blood was dripping off of Tyler in almost every spot, and Klaus only had smudges. The two male's continued to attack each other, although it wasn't much of a fight because Klaus was winning hands down.

"Stop it! Both of you!" Caroline went to intervene, but Klaus grabbed her gently by the waist to hold her back. Klaus touching her enraged Tyler, Caroline could just imagine his reaction if he knew what she did the night before. She still knew it was completely wrong, but for some reason it felt so right. Thinking about it made her bite her lower lip and space out. Tyler came to fight, but Klaus stepped in front of Caroline and knocked Tyler down with one hand. Tyler took a nearby wooden panel and threw it at Klaus. Klaus was a little distracted trying to get Caroline to go back with Bonnie, so it got stuck in his hand. "Tyler, stop it!" She yelled; she was still trying to understand why he was lashing out so much. Yes, it is killer Klaus, but he's been behaving himself lately and Tyler has been acting like an ass.

"Stop it, pft." Tyler sighed under his breath. "You're just as bad as him." With that he went to attack Caroline, but she was so angered that she was able to dodge and deflect. She grabbed one arm and forced her other hand on the back of his neck and slammed him onto the nearby dumpster. Klaus watched as his hand scar started to heal, he hated for getting Caroline involved and yet still couldn't come to terms with his feelings for her. Caroline struggled to hold Tyler down, and he was eventually able to break free and swung at her. His nails scratched her face, and blood fell off and she fell to the floor. Klaus wanted to attack Tyler, but he respected Caroline's wishes.

"Tyler, this is not like you." She said calmly, rubbing her face. She could feel the wounds closing up. Bonnie continued to watch in horror, and finally decided to take things into her own hands. She walked over to all of them and held out both her hands; one pointed at Klaus the other at Tyler. Both of them grabbed their heads, and Tyler was first to fall to his knees.

Scared, Caroline turned to Bonnie and called her name in a slow nervous voice. Klaus was much stronger than Tyler, so by the time Tyler collapsed completely he was still standing. Caroline went to leaned over to check on Tyler then went back to support Klaus who was now on his knees. "Bonnie!"

"You asked if I could do anything and I said yes." Bonnie put more force into the aneurism and finally knocked out Klaus. Caroline sat between the two incapacitated bodies; covering her mouth she looked at Bonnie. Bonnie walked past Caroline and gave her a cold answer; "Bring their bodies to the cellar in the woods."

。，。，。

Klaus woke up first and recovered quickly from the daze. He tried to tug off the chains from his arms, but it was useless. "Where are you witch?" He yelled angrily. This woke Tyler up, who also couldn't break away from the chains.

Bonnie and Caroline both walked into the cellar. "I told you, I don't like seeing innocent people get hurt." Bonnie said sternly.

"I've been good witch. Its' been far too long since I've tortured any of you." Caroline was disgusted that Klaus just said that. (He's like bipolar, he'll be his ruthless asshole self and then turn into this gentleman.) Klaus could see the disapproving look on Caroline face and made him look down. Tyler was still trying to break out of the chains.

"I brought you both here, because Caroline is my best friend, and I definitely don't like to see her hurt." Bonnie said sternly. Both of the two locked up wolves gave Bonnie and look of understanding. Bonnie opened her grimoire and started to recite a chant in Latin. The door slammed behind her and the candles started to flicker. Suddenly, everything returned to normal and Bonnie closed the book. "It's done."
