Thanks for reading, no beta still. See you at the bottom!
Matt went to park the car as Caroline pulled Klaus into the doors of the hospital. They walked in and all the women turned their heads looking at Klaus. He was wondering where he was. Caroline seemed to know the route she was taking and took the elevator up. She felt nervous and anxious and hopeful. Klaus picked up on this and wondered what was happening. She walked past the nurse's station and waved to the nurses on duty.
"Hey Ellen" Caroline waved as she walked by
"Hey Caroline, he's waiting for you as always" Ellen said before she stared at Klaus with a slightly open mouth
Caroline walked down the hall. Klaus followed her and the female patients in the other rooms all looked at him. The machines all started beeping and the nurses had to rush over to see what was happening. Klaus smirked to himself as he followed the blonde.
Caroline walked into her father's room. She smiled and walked over to her father who was laying on the bed, attached to several machines.
"Hey dad, I'm back, you miss me?" Caroline said holding his hand
Klaus looked at the man laying in the bed, completely lifeless. It looked like a horror film with all the tubes and machines connected to him.
"I did it dad, I found him. I told you I would" Caroline said, "And then we can go on vacation, somewhere warm, but not too warm, with no head hunters or angry natives or witch doctors. A real vacation, maybe like Florida where we don't have to worry about the language or exchanging currency"
Klaus walked up to the bed slowly and picked up her father's chart. He started reading through it.
"You were right dad, it was on the Fell property. It took forever to locate the location of where they buried him, but I did it. You'd be so proud. I actually did it this time, on my own. And somehow I reanimated him, but he's real. It's all real dad. As soon as you wake up I can show you everything"
Klaus's eyes read through her father's chart rather quickly. His face became worried as he realized what Caroline wanted from him. He could hear her talk to her father as if he were awake and remained hopeful.
"I missed you so much dad. I remembered everything you taught me. Everything. You'll wake up and everything will be ok" Caroline turned and saw Klaus holding her father's chart
He looked up at her and placed the chart back.
"So this is your father" Klaus said
"Yes, you can meet him when he wakes" Caroline said
"And when is that?"
"When you heal him"
"Caroline, there's something I have to tell you"
"Well it can wait, heal him. Make him better, make him wake up"
"Caroline please"
"No, this is what I want. Heal him!"
"Caroline-"
"What is the hold up? Do that wrist biting thing, do you want to use the IV instead then?"
Klaus reached out and grabbed her shoulders, pulling her closer to him.
"You have to understand something" Klaus started
"Just hurry up and do it!"
"How long has he been like this?"
"What do you mean?"
"How long has he been in a coma?"
"He fell into it a few months ago. I was out looking for you. The last time we spoke was 6 months ago. I told him I'd find you and I did, so wake him up so I can prove it to him!"
"I need you to listen to me very carefully"
"I don't want to listen! I want you to heal him, the same way you healed me!"
"I can't"
Caroline's expression changed immediately. She pushed him away and walked towards her father on the bed.
"Why the hell not!?"
"It doesn't work like that Caroline"
"What? I dug you up, I freed you, you said you would give me anything I wanted! This is what I want! I want you to heal my father!"
Klaus could feel her anger building. He tried to remain calm. He slowly tried to approach her. She backed away.
"Do it! Heal him! I didn't waste a year of my life so you could tell me no!"
"I never said no, love, I just told you I can't"
"Why the hell not!?"
"It's not that simple"
"Yes it is! Give him your blood, he'll get better and you can do whatever the hell you want after he wakes. You can go exact your revenge or find whatever doppelganger or whatever! I don't care! I want him back! Give him your blood!"
He could feel her anger and rage boiling. He could feel her despair. He could see her eyes fill with ears.
"Caroline-"
"NO! Give him your blood! You owe me!"
"It won't work!"
"What?"
"Vampire blood can't heal diseases. Elijah tried during the plague, it did nothing. It just made them live longer, suffering, and then dying and turning. It can't heal cancer, it can't wake people out of comas, and it can't make people walk again"
"NO! I don't believe you!" Caroline yelled throwing whatever was in the room at him, "Your blood healed me! Why won't you heal him!?"
"Because vampire blood can't! It's not that I don't want to!"
"But you're a hybrid, you're blood is special! You can heal him!"
"I don't know what it will do to him! It may just make him live longer and suffer more"
"NO! I did everything I was suppose to! I found you! I dug you up! Everyone thought I was crazy! But I did it! I did it!"
"Yes you did"
"Then do this for me! For him!"
"If I give him my blood and he dies, he'll turn. Do you understand?!"
"Save him! You owe me this! Save him! He's all that I have left"
Caroline was hysterical, she was starting to cry and sob. Klaus tried to reach out to her but she pushed him away.
"No! Do this for me! You owe me! You said it yourself!"
"I will give you anything in the world!"
"Then give him back to me! Save him! SAVE HIM!"
"Sweetheart..."
"What do you want? Heal him and I will do whatever you want!" Caroline pulled her shirt open, exposing her bra to him.
Klaus stopped where he was. He could feel the despair and hysteria taking her over. It was overwhelming. Being close to her made it worse.
"You want my body? You can have it!" Caroline took his hand and placed it over her heart, "You can have whatever you want just heal him!"
Klaus pulled his hand away.
"What? Do you want it dirty like Hayley is that it?! FINE!" Caroline reached down to his jeans and started unzip them, "I'll be a dirty whore then, whatever it takes"
Klaus stopped her hands, and held them still.
"What do you want!? My soul? Name it and you can have it! Just heal him!"
"It won't work Caroline," Klaus said
"No! I did everything I was suppose to! It's going to work! It has to work! It has to!"
Klaus released her wrists and held her as she sobbed out. She kept hitting him with her fists trying to break free.
"I did what I was suppose to! It has to work! It has to work!" she sobbed out
The door opened and the nurse came in.
"What is going on in here?!" the nurse yelled
Klaus let go of Caroline who went back to her father, screaming and sobbing. Klaus went up to the nurse and compelled her to forget and leave. He did the same with the other 2 nurses that came. He turned back to Caroline. She was completely gone. Her emotions were taking over and there was no reasoning with her. He could feel her desperation. He could feel her despair.
"Just tell me what I have to do! Just tell me! I will get you whatever you want, just heal him!"
"Caroline," Klaus flashed infront of her and held her face in his hands, "Caroline you need to calm down"
"No! You owe me this! I said I would do whatever you wanted! What else do you want?! HEAL HIM! JUST HEAL HIM!"
"Caroline, you have to calm down"
"HEAL HIM!" Caroline struggled against him
"Let me in Caroline," Klaus tried to compel her, "Calm down please sweetheart, you scaring everyone here"
Klaus could hear her heart pounding, thundering out of her chest, as if it were about to explode. She was too emotional right now for him to talk to her.
"Heal him!" Caroline yelled, hitting him
"Calm down," Klaus tried again, "Just let go"
Caroline stopped struggling against him, her body stilled, her heartbeat slowed down. He wiped the tears from her face.
"Go to sleep and wake when your body is no longer tired" Klaus said
Caroline closed her eyes and went limp in his arms. He scooped her up into his arms and turned for the door. Matt stood there dumbfounded. He had seen Klaus compel Caroline.
"What the hell is going on here? The nurses are just ignoring the screaming in here" Matt said
"We're taking her home, now" Klaus said as he carried her out
Matt closed the door and followed him down the hallway.
"What happened?" Matt asked
"Get the car" Klaus said
Caroline was asleep in her room while Matt and Klaus were in the kitchen drinking whiskey.
"So you're saying that your vampire blood can't heal her father" Matt said
"Hybrid blood, and yes"
""Why not?"
"Vampire blood only heals physical injuries, it can't make the insane sane, it can't heal cancer or whatever plague you humans have now. I didn't refuse Caroline's request. She needed to understand the consequence of it"
"What consequence?"
"We had tried to heal those who were infected with the plague around us. Our food supply was getting low. We thought if we could heal them, then we wouldn't have to leave Europe. Instead it just prolonged their suffering. Instead of days it was week before they finally died. And then they turned"
"Into vampires?"
"Yes, we didn't realize it, but we had turned people who should have remained dead"
"What do you mean?"
"You've never seen what effects the plague has on the human body. Vampire blood does not grow back fingers or body parts. It doesn't heal scars or the fact that half your face looks like it melted off due to stroke."
"Harsh"
"Is that all you can say?"
"Look, Caroline put a lot of faith into you, everyone thought she was crazy for trying to find you. They told her you didn't exist. And she still looked for you because she believed that you could heal her father. That's what kept her going all this time. If it wasn't for the idea that you were real she'd be in the hospital right next to her father"
"She really loves him doesn't she?"
"He's all she has left"
"Her mother?"
Matt shook his head and finished the rest of his drink. He poured himself another one.
"They weren't very close to begin with. Her mom blamed her for her father leaving them, for another man and all"
Klaus raised his eyebrow.
"Yeah her father's gay. Her mom kinda flipped out on her. You know her husband leaving her for a man and all. She just worked all the time and left Caroline alone. They were so detached. Caroline grew up by herself. I tried to look out for her, but you know how she is"
"Quite stubborn?"
"That's putting it lightly. She made a lot of mistakes, and I got into a lot fights. Her father finally came back for her when she was 16."
"Why the sudden change of heart?"
"Her mom was the sheriff in town. She got shot and died. Care never talked about her after that. Her dad came and got her out of there"
"And where were you in all this?"
"I didn't meet up with her until college"
"And you re-kindled your romance?"
"No, she's my friend. She went through hell and she deserves a break. Her father got her out of that small town. She was suffocating there."
"But you were perfectly content"
"Caroline is meant to do something amazing, I'm just along for the ride"
Klaus stopped and could hear Caroline tossing and turning.
"Is she up?" Matt asked
"No, she's tossing and turning right now. I think she's dreaming. Can't exactly see what it is"
"You can enter her dreams?"
"Yes, but I can't do it from here"
"Can you change her dreams?"
"Sometimes, I don't particularly enjoy seeing what goes on in someone's mind"
"How were you able to compel her?"
"I'm not sure, she was highly emotional and distraught. I suppose all her training only allows her mind to be immune when she is in full control"
"You exploited her weakness"
"I did no such thing. She was hysterical, I already compelled 3 nurses. How else do you suggest we calm her down?"
"She would go to hell and back for her father"
"I don't doubt that"
"She even dug up the devil to save him"
"Careful human"
"If your blood can't heal her then don't you know of a way to help her father? Don't you know some real witches?"
"I do, but witches cannot heal disease"
"Why not?"
"Do you think that we can just magically heal and make things disappear? Witches are in tune with nature. Nature created diseases, plagues, and decay. Witches cannot heal cancer."
"You sound like you tried"
"The plague in Europe caused many problems for us. We did try to keep the humans alive, but they ended up dying regardless"
"But you're immune to it. There has to be something you can do"
"I'm a 1000 year old hybrid not a fairy godmother, where I can just wave a wand and magically fix everything"
"She's not asking you for the world, or your fortune, hell she's not even asking to be immortal, all she wants is her father back. She's not asking for that much"
"I'm also immune to guilt"
"Whatever," Matt finished his drink and got up, "Tell her I'm looking into another lead for her"
Matt opened the door to leave. He stopped and looked back at Klaus.
"You could at least try, for her" Matt said as he left
Klaus down his drink and pour himself another. He got up and went down towards her room. He saw her sleeping there, tossing and turning still. Whatever she was dreaming of, wasn't pleasant. He sat down on the bed next to her. And slowly he entered her dream.
Klaus looked around to see where he was. He was on the side of a mountain. He could see 2 figures climbing up the mountain. It was Caroline and her father.
"Did they really have to hide the idol on the side of a mountain?" Caroline complained
"It faces the east, the sun shines upon the idol, so yeah it has to be on the side of a mountain" her father replied
"How much farther?"
"Caroline, if you're just going to complain, I can just leave you at the bottom where the native boys want to talk to you"
"Ugh, no, they act like they've never seen a girl before"
"Well to be fair, they've never seen a blonde before"
"Dad!"
"We're almost there"
Caroline climbed up along side her father. She lost her footing and fell back. Her father grabbed her wrist. Caroline looked up at her father holding her.
"Careful sweetheart, can't have you falling for those boys just yet"
"Thanks dad"
Her father pulled her up and she grabbed onto the mountain again. They made their way to the carved out cavern and found the idol. They sat and watched the sun reach its apex and the rays shone down onto the idol. The hidden jewel inside glowed brightly and then reflected the sun's rays inside the cavern. Caroline looked around in amazement.
"It's beautiful" Caroline said
"Told you it was worth it"
Caroline looked around the cave and suddenly it became dark.
"Dad?!" Caroline yelled out
Caroline reached out trying to find her father.
"Dad where are you?!"
Klaus looked into the cave and saw Caroline was alone and scared.
"Dad?! Dad! Don't leave me!"
Klaus felt this strange urge to reach out to her. He hated to see her cry for some reason. He couldn't explain it. He changed the scenery slowly. Caroline looked up and saw that she was no longer in a cavern. She was outside somewhere. She saw there was snow on the ground and she was standing next to an igloo. She was wearing furs and the night sky started to glow. She looked up and saw the colors dance across the sky. Shades of green, to shades of pink and white dancing across the sky. Caroline had only seen videos on this, she had yet to see it in person, but the colors were so bright and vivid it almost seemed real. Klaus was showing her one of his memories when he traveled up north. He stood there in watching her, remembering how hauntingly beautiful it was up here.
Caroline was mesmerized by what she was seeing. She seemed at ease. She looked over at the igloo. She wondered what was inside and crawled inside.
"My power animal is not a penguin" Caroline muttered to herself
Caroline went inside and saw someone lying on a bed of furs. She wondered who it was. She crawled closer and realized it was Klaus. He was sleeping peacefully. Why was she dreaming of Klaus? She reached out to touch him, but before she could he had already awoken and grabbed her. She was pinned underneath him before she could gasp.
"What are you doing here?" he asked
"It was cold outside" Caroline answered
"Was it? Shall I warm you up then?"
Klaus began pulling the furs off her body, exposing her bare skin to the cold air. He pressed his body against hers. How was he so warm? Her mind was thinking of a million things and they were all silenced when she felt his lips on hers. Her nails raked down his back as he pushed her further into the furs. His hand found its familiar spot over her heart.
"Why do you keep groping me?" Caroline asked
"Because you have lovely breasts"
Klaus's knee pushed her thighs apart. His hand glided up up her thigh and then between her legs and Caroline gasped.
"Be mine"
Caroline awoke abruptly. She looked around and saw that she was in her room. She wondered how she got there. She saw a steaming cup of coffee on her nightstand table. She sat up more and saw that her shirt was open. She was trying to remember what happened. She remembered being the hospital, and Klaus telling her he couldn't heal her father. She picked up the coffee cup and got out of bed. She opened the door and walked down the hall to find Klaus. She knew he was around. He was in her living room painting. He was working on a piece, painting on a canvas. She wasn't even going to ask where he found an easel, let alone canvas. She was taken back by the sight of him standing there with no shirt on.
"Well rested?" Klaus asked never leaving the canvas
"How did you, nevermind. Why aren't you wearing a shirt?"
"Because I know you wanted to throw that coffee I left for you in my face. I rather liked the shirt I was wearing"
"You can read my mind now?"
"No love, I can still feel what you're feeling, and when you woke up, I felt your anger, towards me"
"How long does this freaky bond connection thing last?"
"Not much longer"
"Good, stay out of my head!"
"I wasn't in your head!"
"Whatever" Caroline sat down on the couch and took a sip of coffee.
Damon was throwing bags into his car. Stefan walked up to him.
"She's never going to go willingly" Stefan said
"What do you want to do Stefan? Hey, there's like a 1000 year old vampire that's totally pissed off at us and will probably torture for days before using our heads to decorate his mantle, oh and he wants to use you as a blood bag. But if we leave now we can live a little longer"
"She's not involved in this"
"She is! She's the next doppelganger, and he won't stop at anything till he gets her! He's not going to stop until he gets her, and kills us. Did you forget who put him in there?"
"I remember"
"Then you should remember how pissed off he's going to be when he finds us. His brother barely let us go because we threatened to dump his body in the ocean"
"Yeah, now we have him and the rest of his family to worry about"
"That's why we should run"
"Where are we going to run to? They'll find us"
"Then what should we do? Sit here and wait? Wait for him to come get us and take her?"
"We should at least tell her"
"Tell her what? That a 1000 year old vampire wants to use her as a blood bag so he can make freaky hybrids?"
"What?" a female voice said from behind them
Damon and Stefan both turned around and saw Elena standing there.
"What's going on?" Elena asked
