Luckily, I managed to get a little free time and I updated as fast as I could. I will be uploading another story by the end of the week, but no promises. And I HATED what happened in the last TVD episode! GOD! How can Caroline reject Klaus again again? Okay, enjoy!


Caroline was horrified when she saw Klaus about to flame Elena's house. She cried out, "Klaus don't!" She saw that he stopped and he shut off the lighter. Surprised that he had listened to her, she ran up to him. "No Klaus! Don't do it!" She put a hand on his arm. He stiffened at her touch, but did not meet her eyes. But Caroline would have none of that. Surprised at her own boldness, she went and stood in front of him, blocking his view of Damon and Elena. He still wouldn't meet her eyes, but she held his face between her palms and forced him to look into her eyes. "Don't do it. Back off." She ordered him. Then, to his surprise, she winked at him and tilted her head slightly towards the couple on the threshold and silently formed the words 'Follow me' silently with her lips.

Confused, he followed her as she walked upto the Elena and silently hugged her with her arms and whispered "I'm not sorry Elena." Elena pulled back, confused. "What?" Caroline raised her arms to her neck and snapped it. Before Damon could act, she stuck her knee in his gut and kicked his knee. As he fell to the floor, she pushed him out of the house where Klaus caught him and held him tightly by his neck. Caroline upto Damon and hissed in his face "You are the sorriest and most pathetic excuse of a brother I have evermet. And just so you know, Elena is not worth it. And I'm not sorry for snapping her neck. I would gladly repeat it a hundred times if I had to. But I'm sorry that you are suffering as well." Saying so, she nodded at Klaus, who snapped Damon's neck. He threw Damon into the Gilbert house and pushed Elena further into the house so that he could shut the door properly.

"Well." She said, clasping her hand. "Now that thats done, let me go get back to Stefan. And thank you for your help Klaus. I seriously needed to do that." "My pleasure, love." He smiled at her. "Oh! And just so you know, Bonnie will probably be calling a meeting tomorrow. Even if she doesn't, I will. So be at my house at around one tomorrow, ok? We usually use the Salvatore boarding house as our headquarters, but I'll probably go on a killing spree if I see that house again. So, if Rebekah is feeling better, bring her along, okay." Saying so, she flitted off. Klaus just smiled at his blonde angel before going to check on Rebekah.


"Stefan?" she asked tentatively as she peeped around the corner of his room. He lay there, just staring at the ceiling impassively. She went to him and sat down on his bed beside him. He did not react. She softly caressed his face. He remained motionless. Seeing her friend so broken, Caroline started sobbing. Stefan turned his face to look at her, his face still expressionless. She slid into his bed next to him and drew the covers over them both. She turned on her side, facing him. He kept staring into her face. At seeing Stefan so pained, broken and lifeless, Caroline felt so helpless and she couldn't control herself anymore. She moved into his side, and rested her head on his chest and clung to his shirt tightly, sobbing quietly. His arms slowly rose and enveloped her sobbing figure. At this, Caroline started sobbing even harder. Typical Stefan. He thought about others and comforted others even when he over the edge of sanity and was probably dying. He was just so damn selfless! He was so pure! He didn't deserve this! She drifted into sleep, clutching his shirt, sobbing uncontrollably for her friend with his arms protectively covering her.


Caroline awoke next morning to see a very uncomfortable looking Klaus and Rebekah standing over her. She asked, still groggy "What? What are you guys doing here so early?"

"Ahem..."Rebekah cleared her throat and looked away, nervously tucking her hair behind her ear. Caroline was confused. Why was the freaky insecure Original nervous? Klaus just kept staring at the wall. "What is wrong with you guys?" Caroline said, irritated. "Now, I'm going back to sleep if you don't mind. I was very comfortable before." Saying so, she rested her head back on what she thought was her pillow. "Yes, I'm sure you were very comfortable love" Klaus said in a smooth voice. Caroline fluttered her eyes open. "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked, suspicious of his tone. "Nothing love, I just came to wake you up. You said you would be calling a meeting at around one, and seeing now that its nearly a quarter past one, we just came to check on you."

"What?" Caroline asked, surprised. Her pillow suddenly moved at its own accord. It was then that Caroline realized that she was not in her familiar room. She was in the spare room. Wait, what was she doing here? Last night's events rushed back to her. She looked down to see her unnaturally firm pillow rise and fall. She suddenly became very aware of the fact that she was in Stefan's bed, snuggling into him and using his chest as a pillow, with his arms enveloped around her.

"What the hell!" She jumped off the bed, and fell stumbling right at Klaus. He caught her before she knocked him to the floor. "Careful, love" he whispered. She looked into his deep blue eyes, lost in them. "Sorry." She breathed, still not aware at their proximity. Suddenly, she heard a groan. She turned back to see Stefan stirring in his sleep. Immediately, she was at his side, stroking his face and ushering him back to sleep. 'He looks tired. He must sleep. I won't let him worry about anything else right now.' she thought. He slowly fell back into his deep sleep. She turned to face Klaus and Rebekah, straightening out her clothes.

"Well, sorry. I just came to visit him at night and just fell asleep." she tried to explain, dramatically gesturing with her hands for good measure. "Oh, for what are you sorry love? For sharing a bed with Stefan or sorry that we found out?" Klaus questioned in an amused tone. She glared at him and shot back "For neither. I'm just sorry that I'm late. That's all. And now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready and call the others." She headed out of the door. "Oh! And just make yourselves comfortable. I won't be back soon. I am in serious need of a shower." She muttered the last part to herself.

"Do you mind if I come with you? I can help you pick out your outfit if you want." Rebekah offered. Caroline looked at her suspiciously. Rebekah shrugged. She said, "You saved my life Caroline. And my brother's as well. You may think I am a bitch, but I don't take what you did yesterday lightly. I owe you one." Caroline laughed "Well! You may not be the bitch I thought you were. Since you and I both have a vacancy in the girlfriend spot, why not you and I help each other out. " She offered her hand to Rebekah. "Don't you have Bonnie?" Rebekah asked, surprised. "No. Bonnie is not the carefree I-dont-give-a-damn-to-what-you-say-I'll-do-whatever-I-want type of girlfriend. But you are, and so am I. So, we both are very alike and I've got a feeling that we'll get along pretty well. So, what do you say?" Rebekah laughed and took Caroline's outstretched hand. "You are right. We are pretty much alike." Saying so, they both headed towards the stairs, hand-in-hand. "Try not to destroy anything just because you are bored, will you. Oh and please try not to kill any of the neighbours too. If you are hungry, there are a couple of blood bags in the freezer in the basement." called Caroline. Rebekah sniggered, knowing that Nik had never drunk from a blood bag in his life. She shouted, "Oh and Nik! Please take some pictures while you are at it. I would love to have a picture of that. It'll be fun taunting you about drinking from a blood bag for the next decade." Saying so, both the girls flashed upstairs, sniggering at Klaus's disgusted look.

"Girls!" he muttered, exasperated. It looked like he would have a lot of free time on his hand. Why not use it to get to know Caroline better? He thought, a smirk on his face.


I LOVED writing this chapter, and just to remind you guys, the night before, everyone's emotions were heightened. That's why everyone were over reacting- Kol threatening to force himself on Caroline, Caroline crying to see Klaus in such a weak state, Caroline snapping Elena's neck(not that she regrets !:D) So, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Please keep the reviews coming.
