Thanks for reading. No beta still. See you at the bottom.
Rebekah sat in a chair filing her nails. She had Damon and Stefan chained up with their necks snapped. Elena remained chained up on the ground in a corner.
"You know you don't have to do this" Elena said
"Are you still talking?" Rebekah said annoyed
"Why are you doing what he tells you to do?"
"Will you shut up? Honestly I don't know how anyone puts up with you. So needy and whiny"
"Why are you doing this to me? I've done nothing to you"
"Your boyfriends there took my brother away for 5 centuries. Maybe you don't know what family is, but when someone messes with my family they mess with me"
"But he daggered your siblings"
"Your point?"
"How can you be all about family when all he does is try to keep you apart and in boxes?"
"You know nothing human. Too bad I can't kill you, it would be fun for about a minute"
"I have a brother, I know what it's like to lose someone"
"Is this the part where we pretend to bond over some pretense of losing someone? I'm an original not some lovesick Salvatore that's licking your ankles"
"I have to use the bathroom"
"You're in the corner"
"I'm not a dog!"
"I'll get you a wee wee pad"
Klaus was leading Caroline to the hospital morgue. She had changed her clothes and Klaus had compelled the workers that they did not see them and to go about their business. Klaus walked into the morgue and compelled the workers there to leave.
Caroline looked around at all the dead bodies lying on the metal tables. One of them was her father. Klaus walked around looking for her father. He found him and pulled the sheet off to reveal his face. Caroline walked over to him looking down at him. He looked pale and lifeless. Caroline wanted to reach out to touch him, but then it would be confirming that he was in fact dead.
"What's going to happen?" Caroline asked
"He'll wake up, he'll transition."
"That's it?"
"He has to drink human blood to complete the transition. Otherwise he'll die"
"Good thing we're in a hospital"
Bill Forbes gasped for air as he sat up abruptly. Caroline jumped back and Klaus stood in front of her. Bill looked around, his vision was blurry for a second and then became clear. He could hear everything, smell everything and he turned to see Caroline standing there.
"Caroline, what happened?" Bill asked
"You died" Caroline said
"Then how am I here?"
"You're in transition" Klaus answered
"Into what?" Bill asked
"You already know the answer to that" Klaus said
"No, NO, NO!" Bill yelled
"Calm down dad, please, it's not so bad" Caroline said
"Not so bad? I'm dead, really dead!"
"You're going to became a vampire. You'll never die" Caroline said
"No, this isn't what I wanted, I can't be one of them"
"Why?" Caroline asked
"I'm a monster, I'm dead, I'l be forced to drink human blood, this isn't what I wanted. This isn't how I want you to remember me"
"Dad, it doesn't matter, you're here with me, you're back" Caroline ran over and hugged him
"Caroline, I'm dead. I have to kill someone to drink their blood so I can live. This is wrong, so wrong" Bill pulled away
"Humans and their morals. You'll find morality is over rated" Klaus said
"I can't do this, I can't be this" Bill said
"Why not?" Caroline asked
"Because it's wrong, because I should be dead. Because no parent should ever out live their child"
"I don't care, I need you dad, I need you to be here with me" Caroline said
"No you don't, we both knew this day would come, and you would go out into the world on your own. You don't need me, you're a grown ass woman."
"No, I did everything that I was suppose to, I dug him up, he healed you, you can't be dead"
"He has to drink human blood to complete the transition, otherwise he'll burn out" Klaus said
"Dad, we're in a hospital, we can get you blood" Caroline said
"No Caroline, I don't want to be this. I don't want to be a killer, I don't want to be one of those things that we read about in crypts and graveyards. I don't want to be that thing that we're afraid of"
"How can you hate me for this?" Caroline cried
"I don't hate you, I'm so proud of you. So proud that you found him. That you did it on your own. I feel so incredibly loved by you, that you would do all this for me. But I can't be this thing, it won't be me, do you understand that?"
"Please don't leave me. I can't do this without you"
"Caroline you are stronger than you think. You're don't know your full potential yet. You are so strong and full of light. You'll go on without me just like everything else you do in life. You don't need me"
"I do need you, don't you understand? You're all I have left"
"No I'm not. You always have yourself. You are going to do such great things Caroline, you just have to believe in yourself"
"But I need you, I want you to be there with me"
"I'll always be with you"
"No! I don't want some stupid hallmark card quote! I want my father! I need my father!" Caroline sobbed out
She turned and looked at Klaus who was leaning against the wall.
"You can make him do it. You can make him transition" Caroline said
Klaus merely looked up at her and then back at her father.
"Is that what you really want? To force your father into this life? A life that he has expressed quite vividly that he wants no part of?" Klaus said
Caroline cried while she fell to the floor. Klaus picked her up off the floor and she clung onto him, sobbing.
"He has a full day to decide. Convince him" Klaus whispered to her ear
Elijah was parking his car. He looked at the quaint house that Rebekah told him about. He walked closer to the house to look at it. He could see the various charms and amulets that were around it. He listened and could hear the house was empty and his brother was no where in sight. He adjusted his tie again in frustration as his brother was no where to be found. What was he doing? Running off like that without a word for a human of all things. He heard the sound of a truck parking behind him and flashed away.
Caroline was helping her father out of the car. Klaus got out of the car and looked around. It was as if he could sense someone was here. He looked over at Caroline who was holding onto her father.
"Get inside now" Klaus said
Caroline looked at him confused.
"NOW!" Klaus yelled
Caroline turned back and Elijah appeared in front of him.
"Hello there" Elijah said
Klaus flashed next to Elijah and pushed him back. Elijah looked at where Klaus had wrinkled his suit.
"What are you doing here?" Klaus asked
Caroline helped her father into the house. Klaus took a step back and removed his hand from Elijah.
"You left without so much a word to where you were running off to. We were worried" Elijah said smoothing out his suit
"More like checking up on me"
"Well you did leave abruptly, leaving us with the Salvatores. This was your idea to torture them, and you just left. Isn't a bit rude?"
"I had to take care of something"
"A human? Really brother"
"It is no concern of yours"
"Rebekah was right, you have some strange attachment to this human girl. And it's more than the fact that she released you. And you were the one who said love was a vampire's greatest weakness."
"I'll be back by tomorrow"
"What's the rush? I find this human fascinating"
"Leave her alone"
"Why? Is she yours?"
"Yes, she's mine!"
"This isn't like you at all. What has happened to you?"
"Just go, I'll be back to deal with the Salvatores tomorrow"
"And you just leave the doppelganger? After waiting how long to create your own race you just leave her there as if she were nothing"
"She is a means to an end that is all"
"What is so special about this human?"
"Nothing"
"Then why are you here?"
Before Klaus could answer Elijah flashed to the house. He saw the markings of a devil's trap under the welcome matt and was careful not to step into it. He pushed the door open and looked inside.
"Human girl, the one that my brother seems attached to, where are you?" Elijah called out
"I have a name you know!" Caroline said reaching the door
"Alright, I'm Elijah, Niklaus's brother, and you are?" Elijah said
"Caroline, and no you can't come in" Caroline said
"Caroline go back inside" Klaus said appearing next to Elijah
Caroline looked at the two and then went back inside to her father.
"She smells like you" Elijah said
"And?"
"Did you give her your blood?"
"I might have"
"Did you share blood?"
"What concern is it of yours?"
"The blood is scared! You said so yourself!"
"I say a lot of things, I'm surprised you remember all of them"
"You've created a connection with her, that's why you're here. It's not permanent is it? Please tell me you weren't that stupid"
"I'm not stupid! It just happened once, and only once"
"Then it will fade"
"I'm well aware of that"
"Then why do you need to stay?"
"Her father is transitioning"
"You turned her father?!"
"I didn't mean to"
"Have you forgotten how to turn vampires? Have you really been gone that long that you've forgotten the basics?"
"She begged me to heal her father, and I did. He died because of the disease he had"
"You think he'll kill her when he feeds"
"He's chosen not to turn"
"What is this insanity?"
Bill Forbes in the living room looking at the pictures of Caroline and him together. Caroline walked over to him and smiled.
"Who would have ever known that this little girl would have grown into a modern day explorer?" Bill said
"I made it because of you. I would have died countless of times"
"But you're a survivor, and you'll survive this"
"But think of the possibilities. You can keep exploring, you'll be able to find everything and anything. You won't have to worry about running out of time"
"Oh honey, you don't get it do you? When time is against you, everything seems more real, everything is much sweeter, because you know at some point it will all end. And knowing that makes life worth living. I can look back on my life and see all the things I've done, the things I've accomplished. I can honestly say that I lived with no regrets"
"But there's so much more to life to see"
"There is, but you can't cheat death. It is the one thing that is absolute in this world"
"But I need you daddy. I need you"
"You don't need anyone. you're ready to take on the world"
"No, no I'm not"
"You are, and after everything you've been through, you're exactly who your mother and I hoped you would be."
"Don't do this, please, don't leave me" Caroline cried
Bill Forbes held Caroline as she cried, stroking her hair.
"I'm afraid, I don't know how to do this without you. I screw up all the time!" Caroline cried
"Remember what I taught you. Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Fear is a choice. You can choose to be afraid or you can choose to live your life."
"Please, daddy, please don't go"
"It's ok, it's all going to be ok. This is life, this is what it means to be human"
Klaus stood outside the house with Elijah. He held his head for a moment as he felt Caroline's despair again. He shook his head and looked back at his brother.
"What's it like?" Elijah asked
"What?"
"The connection, is it true you feel what she feels?"
"Somewhat, when I'm closer to her, it's stronger. Her human emotions are erratic, but when they're intense I feel it. Sometimes it can be overwhelming"
"Can she feel yours?"
"I don't think she can yet, of if she does she doesn't know what it is"
"Your emotions are always under control it seems. Is it true that it makes an intimate encounter much more-"
"Do not finish that sentence, for both our sakes"
"It's a question"
"I will not discuss her in such a way"
"So it is true. You have feelings for this human"
"I feel nothing"
"Then why are you still here?"
"You ask too many questions!"
"I will admit it's strange seeing you like this, but you seem happier. I hope it works out well for you then"
"Why would you say such a thing?"
"Because you deserve to be happy"
Klaus felt it again. He grabbed his arm and felt a pain searing through it. He flashed into the house. He found Caroline kneeling over her' father's lifeless body. He could smell it. He turned her and saw that she had cut into her arm and was bleeding.
"He died, and he wouldn't drink the blood. I thought maybe if I did it-"
"Caroline!" Klaus shook her roughly as she began to cry
"If I did it, it wouldn't be his fault"
Klaus bit into his wrist and shoved it onto her mouth. His eyes had turned and he couldn't control it. Not when he was around her. He lifted her arm to his mouth. His tongue darted out and licked the blood. His fangs scraped against her skin as he tasted her. He felt the wound close and lifted his head. He pulled his wrist away from her mouth. She touched her mouth.
"He's gone" Caroline said
"I'm here" Klaus said
Caroline reached out to him and placed her arms around his neck. He held her close and felt her rest her head on his shoulder.
"I can feel you" Caroline said lifting her head up
"I'm here for as long as you want me to be"
"I can feel what you're feeling, I felt your fear when I was bleeding"
"Well isn't this interesting?" Elijah said from the doorway
