Thanks for reading, still no beta. see you at the bottom.
Rebekah was driving her car with Klaus sitting next to her looking out the window. She was speeding down the road.
"That was a rather disgusting display of emotion from you brother. I'd say you've grown soft in your old age" Rebekah teased
"Quite!"
"You seemed rather enthralled by that human"
"She freed me"
"Is that all she did?"
"Quite, where is Elijah?"
"He's meeting us"
Caroline was helping her father walk into her house. She led him into the house and helped him sit on the couch.
"i'll make you some tea" Caroline said
Her father looked around her living room and saw the painting that Klaus was working on. It stayed there unfinished on the easel.
"Since when did you paint?"
Caroline looked up and saw the unfinished painting.
"I don't. It was Klaus" Caroline said
"He paints?"
"Apparently so. he says he didn't spend all this time killing people, that he had some class or something"
"So you're on a first name basis with him?"
"Not really."
"Where is he?"
"He left"
"Where did he go?"
"I'm not sure, he left with his sister, they said Mikael was after them"
"They're real, they're all real"
"Yes, and from them all vampires are descended from"
"I still can't believe you did it Care. It was incredible dangerous"
"I know, but I had to do something to save you"
"There was nothing you could do. The cancer took over, there was nothing the doctors could do"
"But I did it, I found him and I got him to heal you"
"What did you offer him in return?"
"Nothing, I set him free that's all, he was grateful for that"
"He is and has never been grateful"
"You don't have to worry about me dad. I'm not scared, weak, girly Caroline anymore"
"I just worry about the consequences of your actions"
Caroline looked at the unfinished painting and remember Klaus standing there shirtless painting it. And for a moment she did miss him. She felt it inside her and tried to push it aside. She poured the water into the teacup and let the tea bag steep. She picked up the cup and walked over to her father.
"Thank you Care"
"So you want to go on vacation?"
Rebekah was still driving to the spot to meet Elijah. Klaus felt something strange and placed his hand over his heart. He felt a longing inside him. But he knew it wasn't his.
"What's wrong?" Rebekah asked
"I'm not sure, I feel strange"
"Vampires don't get indigestion"
"Hybrid dear sister"
Rebekah drove past the sign that stated Welcome to Mystic Falls. They drove into the main square of the town.
"This place looks so dismal and small" Klaus said
"It is a small town"
"Is that what people are calling it these days?"
"We're here" Rebekah got out of the car
Klaus followed her, as they walked into the park. Elijah stood there dressed in a suit waiting.
"Elijah!" Rebekah called out
Elijah turned around and saw Rebekah running towards him and Klaus walking slowly towards him.
"Rebekah" Elijah hugged her, "Niklaus"
"Elijah" Klaus said
"Oh stop it you two. It's been 500 years, make up and hug already!" Rebekah said
"You were missed" Elijah said
"Doubt it"
"We did search for you, until they threatened to throw your body into the ocean, then you became untraceable"
"Good thing a human was able to dig me up then"
"Boys! Stop being stupid!" Rebekah yelled
Elijah extended his hand out. Klaus signed and stuck his hand out and Elijah pulled him in for a hug.
"You were missed" Elijah said
"Can we go kill the Salvatores already?" Rebekah asked
"After you Niklaus" Elijah said
"They're here?" Klaus asked
"Yes, along with the human doppelganger" Elijah said
"This day is turning out quite well for me" Klaus said
"Can we get on with it?" Rebekah asked
Caroline was checking on flights to Florida on her computer. She set her coffee down on the table and took a sip. She realized it was black and she never drank coffee that way. She stopped and looked back at the flights.
Her father was looking at some of the research she had done. He smiled at how much his daughter had accomplished without her. He knew she would be fine. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and leaned on the table for support. The pain became overwhelming and he collapsed.
"Dad?! DAD?!" Caroline screamed while running towards him
"This is where they're hiding?" Klaus asked as he looked at the Salvatore house
"The human is inside with them as well" Elijah said
"So can we do this already? We still have to get Kol after this" Rebekah said
"You undaggered Kol?!" Klaus yelled
"To be fair we undaggered him, then daggered him, then undaggered him again" Rebekah said
Klaus walked up to the door and knocked. Rebekah and Elijah stood by the car waiting.
"I can hear you breathing in there. Don't make me huff and puff and blow your little house down" Klaus said
The door opened. It was Elena standing there.
"You are the doppelganger" Klaus said
"My name is Elena"
"Alright Elena. Come alone we haven't got all day"
"No, I want to make a deal"
"You know you're in no position to barter for anything"
"I know you need my blood to make your hybrids. And if I die then you'll have to wait another couple hundred years for the next doppelganger"
"Your point, do be quick about it"
"Let Damon and Stefan go"
"Can't do that love. They are the reason they put me in that box in the first place"
"Then give them a head start"
"Oh they've already had that. My brother gave them the head start"
Elena took out a knife and Klaus merely looked at it.
"Do you really think that will hurt me? I'm an original"
"I know" Elena stabbed herself in her side and fell down
"No!" Klaus tried to push past the barrier of the house but couldn't
"Agree to the terms, let them have a head start"
"NO!"
"Then I'll die and you'll never get your hybrids"
"You stupid human!"
"Let them live, let them run and you can heal me and you can have my blood"
"You're all bloody insane!"
Rebekah turned around when she heard something. Elijah looked to the side as he heard it too. They both turned and caught the Salvatores before they could stake them.
"Look what the cat dragged in" Rebekah said holding Damon by his neck
"Do you honestly think anything can hurt us?" Elijah said as he held Stefan's neck
"We tried" Damon said
"Invite me in so I can heal you!" Klaus yelled
"Agree to the terms!" Elena said
"Fine!"
Elena stood up and stumbled into him. Klaus felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and saw there was a white oak stake in his chest, missing his heart. He grabbed her and threw her onto the ground outside. He pulled the stake out of his chest and saw his siblings walking towards him holding the Salvatores.
"You will pay for that" Klaus said
Caroline was back at the hospital again. Her father's condition had worsened. She sat in the waiting room alone. She hugged herself and tried not to cry. Matt came running in.
"Care! What happened?" Matt asked
"I don't know, one minute he was fine the next he was unconscious"
Caroline hugged Matt and tried not to cry. She had just gotten her father back and to lose him again would just be too much.
Klaus was holding the white oak stake in his hands. He already had Damon hung up on the outside of the house. A stake in each of his hands holding him up against the side of the house.
"Stop me if you've heard this one before, but Jesus Christ walks into an inn and gives the inn keeper 3 nails" Klaus says as he walks back and forth infront of Damon
"You may be a hybrid but you're not funny" Rebekah said
"And goes," Klaus shoves the white oak stake into Damon's stomach, "can you put me up for the night"
"Your jokes are terrible" Damon spat out
"Just kill us already" Stefan said
"Wait your turn" Klaus said
Elijah held onto Elena, while Rebekah had Stefan kneeling on the ground watching.
"Stop it!" Elena yelled
"Afraid I can't. See they dessicated me, and then buried me somewhere that none of my family could find me. I've lost out on 500 years. You could say I'm a bit upset" Klaus said as he shoved another stake into Damon's chest
"I'm getting bored" Rebekah said
Klaus turned around and glared at his sister. He then looked over at Elena.
"I'll give you a choice doppelganger" Klaus said
"My name is Elena" Elena said
"Whatever, I'll let you choose which brother lives and which one dies"
"What?"
"Ah, the curse of the doppelganger, always to be torn between two brothers. Never being able to choose. So what's it going to be? Damon or Stefan? I'll let one of them live"
"How do I know you're not lying"
"You don't"
Elena looked at Damon and then Stefan.
"Ah, even now she still can't choose. Because you know if you do, you'll lose them both"
"I have to say the original one was prettier" Rebekah said
"You don't have to do this" Elena said
"Actually I do, you tried to stab me with the white oak stake. But your aim was off, you're suppose to stake the heart, not my lungs"
Klaus turned back to Damon who was bleeding and nailed to the side of the house. He suddenly felt a wave of emotion take over and he clutched his chest. He shook his head. Rebekah looked concerned.
"Nik?" Rebekah called out
He felt it again, this time more intense. He felt this overwhelming despair and sorrow. He grabbed his chest again, almost falling to his knees.
"Nik! What's wrong?!" Rebekah yelled
"Bloody hell!" Klaus said as he stood up
"You said the stake hit your lungs not your heart!" Rebekah yelled
"It did!" Klaus held his head as he felt it again
He felt her despair, her hopelessness, her grief. He could feel her pain. He felt it and then it was gone. He couldn't feel her anymore. He lifted his head up.
"Caroline..." Klaus flashed away
Rebekah snapped Stefan's neck and turned to her brother.
"He's lost his bloody mind" Rebekah said
"Where did he go?" Elijah asked
"To that stupid human girl"
"What girl?"
"The one that dug him up, she's in some stupid college town"
"What is wrong with him?"
"Besides the obvious? I think he feels some form of attachment towards her"
"Our brother does not feel anything for anyone"
"I'll go find him"
"No, I'll go, if Niklaus is attached to this human as you say, I'll be able to talk him down from it. We both know I can handle him better"
"Till he daggers you"
"Well then you can find Kol"
"Where is he headed?"
"I'll text you the address. dreary little college town" Rebekah took out her phone and texted Elijah
"I'll be back soon"
"What am I suppose to do with them?"
"Be creative"
Klaus was running across the woods when he heard a howl. He stopped for a moment and looked up. It was a full moon. He felt the draw to the moon, the urge to shift, but he had to maintain control and get to Caroline.
He heard a giggle and laugh and the sound of two bodies running in the woods. Klaus looked over and saw 2 figures running naked. They were running and stopped when they saw him standing there.
"Oh, it's you" Hayley said
"You know this guy?" Tyler said
"I don't have time for this" Klaus said
"Are you here to run, cause this is his property" Hayley said
"Unlike you I have more pressing matters to attend to" Klaus said
"You mean Caroline? She's a lost cause" Hayley said
"How do you know Caroline?" Tyler and Klaus both said at the same time
Hayley rolled her eyes.
"Stupid boys" Hayley said
Klaus looked at Hayley and then Tyler. He realized that Tyler was the werewolf boyfriend that had cheated on her with Hayley. It was a small world indeed.
"You're Caroline's ex boyfriend" Klaus said
"Who the hell are you?"
"Her future"
"Blah blah blah, cmon Tyler let's go run" Hayley said
"How do you know this guy?" Tyler asked
"She doesn't, but her mouth does, rather intimately" Klaus said
"Hayley!?"
"It was a dirty gas station bathroom, smelled like wet dog"
Klaus smirked and flashed away. Tyler glared at Hayley.
"We were on a break" Hayley said
Matt sat in the hospital room next to Caroline who lay in the bed. She was hysterical and wouldn't stop screaming when the doctors had told her that her father had died. The doctors didn't know what to do with her so they sedated her and admitted her. The dosage they gave her wasn't large and she should have awoken by now, but hadn't. Matt sat there worried that his friend would never recover or wake up from this. She had just gotten her father back only to lose him.
Klaus made it back to her house and looked around inside. He saw his painting was still there. He saw the tea cup on the floor, spilt tea, he saw a few things knocked over. He knew Caroline was here. The house was empty. He left quickly to search for her. He only knew of another place she might be.
Klaus ran to the hospital and ran inside. He knew she was here somewhere. He began searching all the rooms. The connection they shared spiked when her emotions ran wild. But then they just stopped. It was strange this connection, he didn't know what to expect. He wanted to find her but couldn't. He continued searching the hospital.
He saw the nurse Ellen that Caroline was talking to before. He walked up to her.
"Oh hi, I remember you." Ellen said
"Have you seen Caroline?"
"Oh yes poor thing. She didn't take the news very well, We had to sedate her"
"Where is she?"
"Room 708. Matt's with her"
Matt sat next to Caroline holding her hand.
"Wake up Care, you have to wake up. You're really freaking me out" Matt said as he squeezed it gently
"I know things didn't turn out the way you wanted them to. But cmon, you have to wake up. Please just wake up" Matt said
Klaus walked into the room and looked at the sight before him. Caroline lay there as if she were asleep with Matt holding her hand.
"How long has she been like this?" Klaus asked
Matt stood up.
"What are you doing here?" Matt asked
"How long has she been like this?" Klaus said as he approached her
"Hours, she flipped out royally, they had to sedate her, she should have woken up by now, but she's not. They're worried"
"Is she hurt, physically that is?" Klaus asked
"I don't think so"
Klaus bit into his wrist and moved her chin to make her mouth open and placed his wrist there.
"What are you doing?" Matt asked
"Trying to wake her up"
Klaus pulled his wrist away and sat onto the bed. He held onto Caroline's hand, rubbing circles on it.
"Caroline, I know you can hear me, I know you're in there, be a good girl and wake up" Klaus said
"She won't, her father's dead"
"That's what I felt. I was in Virginia when I felt it. This overwhelming sense of despair and sorrow. And then it was gone. Give me a minute with her"
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to try to wake her up"
Klaus held onto her and and concentrated and entered her dream. Except this time it wasn't a dream. It was just darkness. Klaus found himself standing in darkness.
"Caroline! Caroline I know you can hear me!" Klaus yelled out
There was no response. He changed the scenery, or at least he tried. It remained the same. He reached out and found something, a wall. He followed along the wall and found a light switch. He flipped it and the lights went on. He found himself surrounded by many different walls and doors. Endless amount of doors, from the floor to the ceiling, all over.
"Caroline! It's me, I'm not going to hurt you" Klaus yelled out
One of the many doors opened. Klaus took that as a sign and ran to it and walked through it. He found himself outside in the country. Green grass, tall trees, and a massive castle was in front of him. He looked down and saw that was also a massive moat filled with crocodiles and sharks swimming around with lasers. Klaus wasn't sure what the sharks were wearing on their heads but he took it as a bad sign.
"I hate swimming" Klaus said as he walked up to the edge of the moat. He looked up and saw there was there drawbridge or any way of getting into the castle.
"Rapunzel let down your hair?" Klaus said
Klaus was only greeted by silence. He took a few steps back and then jumped over the walls of the castle and landed inside. He looked around and saw that it was empty. He looked up at the towers and wondered if she was in one of them. He ran up the stairs to the top of the walls over looking the castle. He looked around the towers for a door. There was none.
"You're not going to make this easy for me are you love?"
He looked up at the towers and noticed one of them had a yellow flag flapping in the wind. He walked over to it and looked up. He touched the stones on the tower and some of them started to push forward. He saw only a few of them pushed forward and looked at the pattern. It was almost like a ladder. He started climbing. The tower seemed to be getting taller and taller as he climbed. He reached the window and pulled himself in. He saw that he was inside a dark room. He looked around and saw a figure sitting in the corner. He couldn't make out who or what it was. He could only see that the figure was covered in a black cloak, hiding themselves from him. He walked slowly towards it.
"Caroline..." his hand reached out and touched her shoulder
The black cloak fell to the floor. Klaus felt the room change. He looked around and found himself standing in another room filled with puzzles and formulas written on the walls.
"Caroline, where are you?" Klaus called out
He looked around and saw the various puzzles. He had seen some of them before during his travels. He picked up one of them. It was sphere with several interlocking pieces. He had seen them before when he was living in Italy during the Renaissance. He had played with one just like it when DaVinci created one. Klaus looked at the pieces and then slowly started moving them. The pieces locked and the sphere opened. Inside was a key. He took out the key and looked around. He saw there was a door of sorts written over with several formulas and computations. He placed the key into the keyhole and opened the door. He walked inside and saw a rubix cube. He didn't know what exactly it was. He picked it up and looked at it. He turned it around and realized you had to get all the colors to match up on one side. He turned it around and around and got frustrated. He heard a giggle and looked around.
"Caroline..."
Klaus held the rubix cube in his hands and tried to figure it out. He used his vamp speed and eventually got it.
"That's cheating" Caroline's voice said
"Then show me how to do it" Klaus said
Another door opened and Klaus walked through it. He was surrounded by mirrors, different types of mirror. His reflection looking back at him in all the mirrors. He realized he was still holding the rubix cube in his hands.
"You were going to show me how this thing works" Klaus said
"No" Caroline's voice said
"Why not? You think I can't figure it out?"
"You're just going to leave"
"I'm here now"
"They all leave"
"I'm here Caroline, I'm here"
"NO!"
The screamed pierced through all the mirrors shattering them. Klaus stood there and realized there was one mirror that was still intact. He walked up to it. He placed his hand on it.
"Caroline, I know you're in there, let me in"
"Go away"
"I can't, I'm drawn to you for some reason, I can't explain it"
"It's the blood"
"No, it's not just the blood. It's how you are. I can't get you out of my mind. My thoughts are consumed by you. I was in Virginia when I felt you calling out"
"Then go back to Virginia"
"No, I'm here, just let me in"
"No"
"Why not?"
"Because you'll just leave. Everyone leaves"
"I won't leave you"
"You just want revenge on the people who hurt you"
"I won't leave until you send me away, I promise"
Klaus heard no response. He was getting a bit freaked out talking to a mirror and seeing himself.
"Caroline, you freed me, you're my angel. You're strong and beautiful and full of light. And you run around and dig up dead bodies which is beyond me and you're fearless and reckless and I find myself wanting to be near you"
Klaus saw the mirror crack. He placed his hand on it and felt his hand go through the mirror.
"Caroline...let me in..." Klaus said as he walked through the mirror
Klaus walked into a dark room. He looked around and saw a little blonde girl sitting on the floor wearing a yellow dress. She rested her head on her knees while her arms were wrapped around them.
"Caroline?" Klaus said as he walked closer to her
The little girl looked up at him. He could see her face was red from crying. He crouched down onto the floor and reached out to her.
"Caroline, you have to wake up" Klaus said
"No, I don't want to "
"Please sweetheart, you're scaring Matt"
"He's a big boy he doesn't need me"
"Please wake up"
"No! You can't make me"
"You're right I can't"
"Then go away"
"What's wrong love? What's so horrible out there?"
"He won't be there when I wake up"
Klaus reached for her hand and held it in his.
"But I will be. I'm sitting on the bed right now next to you, hoping you'll wake up"
"Why?"
"Because I want you to wake up, I need you to wake up"
"NO!"
"Please love, you have to wake up"
"He won't be there"
"You can't hide in here forever"
"Watch me"
"Alright, stay in here then. I'll be out there waiting for you, whether it takes you an hour, a day, a month or a year, I'll be waiting. I have nothing but time. You forget that I do have forever"
Caroline looked up at him.
"Why would you wait for me? I'm just human"
"You are special, you're not just human, I need you Caroline"
"Why?"
"Because you've made me feel something. Something I haven't felt in centuries since I was human. And I will not abandon you"
"You came back for me?"
"Yes, I came back for you"
Caroline threw her arms around him and hugged him. Klaus held her close and smiled.
"Caroline..." Klaus said
Caroline's eyes opened and she saw Klaus sitting on her bed holding her hand. She saw Matt sitting in the chair near her.
"Care you're awake!" Matt said
"Hey Matt" Caroline smiled
"I'll get the doctor!" Matt ran out of the room
"Did you mean everything you said?" Caroline asked
"Yes, I'm here for as long as you want me to" Klaus said
"My dad's dead" Caroline said as she started to cry
Klaus pulled her closer and held her as she cried.
"Sweetheart, he's not dead, he's in transition" Klaus said
Caroline gasped as she pulled away to look at him.
"What?"
"I told you that my blood cannot heal cancer, and since he died with my blood in his system he will transition"
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Because you needed to wake up on your own"
Thanks for reading, I'm still sick and dying and now my eye is screwed up too to add to it. But hey here's another chapt and I hope you are amused by it. Aren't you glad the originals are together? I know Klausy and Caroline didn't exchange that much blood but her emotions were all over the place and he felt it. Please feel free to review, I get excited and happy when I get that email saying I got a new review, plus I'm sick so I really can't do much right now...find me on tumblr. Thanks.
