Klaus POV
After a few hours of driving, the sun slowly begins to rise, basking the sky in hues of red, orange and yellow.
I glance at the dashboard which flashes 5am.
3 more hours. 3 more hours till we hit the outskirts of Mystic Falls. I look over the rear view mirror and stifle my laughter at the sight.
Elijah. Let's just say he's far from his usual sophisticated self. His head is leaning on the window, obviously still exhausted from Caroline's bite. His mouth is slightly agape, letting a trickle of drool escape the side of his mouth.
Sophie and Marcel, once mortal enemies, look nice and cozy with one another. His head is cocked all the way back on the seat, while Sophie snores softly on his lap. That's going to be an interesting sight to wake up to, I muse.
Finally, I glance at my dear Caroline. Her halo of blond hair covers her face and I can hear her shallow breathing. I barely make out her soft pink lips that are in a slight pout.
I reach over, brushing her hair softly from her face. I feel the usual tingle I get when I touch her. I feel the want, the need to grab her and hold her close as I cup her cheek. She starts to stir underneath my grasp. A smile gracing her features without her opening her eyes.
"You really should watch the road Klaus," she murmurs sleepily.
"I'm multitasking," I reply innocently.
She opens her eyes, looking at me with affection as she kisses my palm, making my heart pound harder in my chest.
"You shouldn't tease love," I playfully rebuke her, looking briefly at the road.
She gives me an impish grin. "Who says I'm teasing?" She says innocently, sliding my hand off her face and down to her breast.
I let out a shuddering breath, my pants tightening as I stare at her again, licking my lips. What is this woman doing to me?
"You have that look in your eye," she says with a giggle.
"What look?" I say, barely keeping my voice even.
She leans forward and licks along my jawline, making me grab the wheel so hard i nearly break it. "the look that says you want to rip my clothes off," she whispers seductively.
I close my eyes when she starts kissing my neck.
"Eyes on the road, Niklaus."
I begrudgingly open them. "You're going to kill us all."
She giggles, glancing at the back. Satisfied with what she sees, she bends down into my lap and I hear the button in my jeans pop open, then the zipper as it goes down...
My eyes widen. She wouldn't...
When her mouth swallows my manhood whole, causing a guttural groan to escape my lips, I quickly realize the truth.
She would.
She unmercifully sucks me off. I can't help but glance down to confirm that this was a reality and not a dream.
All I could see is a mass of blond hair before she looks up at my naughtily and goes deeper.
I break a part of the wheel then, starting to lose focus as she goes faster and faster...
"Caroline..." I say breathlessly.
"Hmm?" She murmurs. The vibrations from her mouth don't make the situation easier.
"I'm seriously going to crash this car sweetheart..."
I hear a pop as she releases me.
"I thought you can multitask?" She says with an arch of her eyebrow. "My mighty hybrid?"
My smart response dies on my lips as she starts to go down on me again.
"Fuck..." I hiss, now resigning myself to my fate.
I feel the warmth of her mouth leave me, making me look at her in disappointment. "Damn you love. I said no teasing," I chatise, slightly annoyed.
She smiles as she dresses me up again. "You're vibrating."
I don't understand at first until she pulls my phone out of my right pocket.
Right. Vibrating.
"This isn't over sweetheart," I tell her, before I grab my phone from her hand.
"I'm counting on it...sweetheart," she ends, mimicking my accent.
I smile at her, looking at my phone, the smile leaving my face.
"What is it?" she asks.
I don't respond. Too busy rereading the text.
"Klaus?" She presses.
With a deep sigh, I stuff the phone in my pocket.
"It was Rebekah. She texted me."
"And?"
"She's complaining about being stuck in a car with Damon for 6 hours," I lie smoothly with a smile.
She looks at me cautiously, obviously trying to read my face.
"I guess I'd be ready to pull my hair out too if I were her," she says slowly. She's obviously still suspicious of the text but can't find any evidence of deceit.
"This isn't the way to Mystic Falls Brother," chimes in Elijah.
I glance back, watching him fail to straighten his wrinkled suit.
I bring my eyes back to the road. "I know Brother. Change of plans."
"Aah!"
We all whirl around at the sudden noise.
Marcel stares at Sophie, mortified.
Sophie, who is startled awake by Marcel's scream, looks around groggily, wiping the drool from the corner of mouth.
"What?" She mumbles, looking back at where her head came from and the puddle of saliva on Marcel's pants. she turns red.
"Oh...god!" She squeaks.
"What. The. Fuck?!" Shouts Marcel lividly, enunciating every word.
"Now relax. I totally fell asleep..." Sophie starts to explain.
"You violated me!"
Sophie's mouth drops.
"No I didn't!" She screams back.
"Then why are my jeans drenched?!"
"I didn't try to suck you off in a car full of people if that's what you're implying. Thats just disgusting, especially with you," Sophie snaps.
Caroline and I share a look then start laughing. It isn't long till Elijah joins in as well, to Marcel and Sophie's fury.
"It's not funny!" They shout together.
"Oh yes it is!" The rest of us reply back.
It's not long before I pull up into a hotel overlooking one of the best beaches on the eastern seaboard. We can hear the waves crashing from where I park the car.
"Uh. Not that I'm complaining," says Marcel, "but I thought Mystic falls was in the middle of Virginia."
"Well. Since you lot look totally exhausted and we know nothing of the doom that might await us in Mystic Falls, I felt it wise for us to take a detour and replenish ourselves."
I turn to Sophie. "Besides, I think it wise to have that cure ready sooner rather than later. What do you say love?"
"We will still need Henry's blood and Claire's," points out Elijah.
"But I agree with Klaus," chimes in Sophie. "We need a break anyway. I'll get as much of the potion done as possible. I'll need yours and Caroline's blood."
She pulls out a large vial from her jacket. Caroline and I bite open our wrists and let our blood mingle into the container.
"Okay. How about that beach?" Says
Caroline enthusiastically, once we're done, jumping out of the car.
I flash to her before she gets far. "Not so fast love. I have other plans for you," I whisper to her, brushing her hair back to lay a tantalizing kiss on her neck. I feel her shiver under my touch. "one that involves paying you back for your antics in the car," I murmur, licking her earlobe.
"Get a room," busts in marcel disgustedly.
"We are at a hotel, Niklaus" adds Elijah snidely.
Sophie just hurries past, her nose stuck in Qestiyah's grimoire.
I chuckle, grabbing Caroline's hand.
"I'm hungry," she declares as we walk. "Can we eat, shop, go to the beach, then rest?"
I laugh heartily. "You were practically comatose in the car with the lot of them, Caroline."
"I know but Sophie won't be done with the potion for awhile. I totally don't want to waste my time in a new place sleeping and where are we?" She asks, suddenly, completing her rant.
"Emerald Isle," I reply. "It's considered the crown jewel of North Carolina's Crystal Coast."
Caroline's eyes spark with excitement. "And you want me to spend my time in hotel room? We're definitely taking a look around!"
"You're wish is my command sweet Caroline," I say, unable to say no to her.
I guess that phone call will have to wait...
XXXXXXXXXX
After a few hours of doing everything Caroline wanted, we check into our suite. Once inside, I hear Caroline gasp, spinning around the room, like bloody Julie Andrews from the Sound of Music.
I can't help but smile watching her. It was always like this whenever I took Caroline somewhere new, whether it be Tokyo, Paris, Rome, wherever. It never got old to her. She enjoys the sights, the lavish hotels. She genuinely loved every aspect, every minute of it, which made me love traveling with her. Everything is so much more special just because she's there.
"I take it that you approve," I state, dropping evidence of our earlier shopping spree.
"It's gorgeous," she gushes.
The suite had two bedrooms (though we'd only be using one, both depending on my mood) a kitchen and large bathroom with a jacuzzi.
In the main living space, there were patio doors that lead out to a balcony that had two lounge chairs, a small garden and whirlpool tub overlooking a private part of the beach with stairs leading down to it.
The sun starts to set over the water as I wrap my arms around Caroline standing on the balcony.
She hums contently.
"So beautiful..." she says in awe, staring at the sunset.
"I know," I murmur, kissing her cheek.
"I was talking about the sunset."
"So was I," I lie smoothly.
When I pull away, I catch her glancing at the tub.
"We got to get in that," she says mischievously.
I smirk, thinking of all the naughty things I can do to her in there. "I'll try to see if we can fit it into our plans."
She turns around in my arms, letting me rest my hands on her waist.
"What are you planning Niklaus?" She says giving me an inquisitive look.
"Have I ever disppointed you with my surprises sweetheart?"
She bits her lip, thinking hard, to my amusement.
"No..." she admits hesitantly, "but..."
I press my finger to her lips. "No buts Caroline," I say softly.
"How about..." I walk inside and grab a long box, perfectly gift wrapped.
Her mouth drops as I walk up to her.
"You get into this, take a long shower, and do all the other stuff you females indulge in to get ready for a night out. I'll wait for you here."
She takes the box from me, then stands on her toes to kiss me lightly on the lips.
"When did you get this?"
"When you went into the store to get that Loius Vuitton clutch that you just 'had to have,' " I say, reiterating her words from earlier.
She shakes her head. "You're something Klaus."
"Actually love, I'm the original hybrid, the Alpha male. The King of New Orleans. Pick one," I say with a lopsided smile.
She rolls her eyes. "I'll be upstairs, smart ass."
I watch her go up the stairs, then wait until I hear the shower running before I start dialing Bekah's number.
"Nik," I hear after the first ring. "Took you long enough to call me."
I ignore her. "Are you there yet? Where's Damon?"
"We stopped at some motel. Damon ran off, muttering about how he needed a break and make a phone call. I'm here with Henry."
"Put him on," I demand.
I hear some shuffling before Henry gets on the line.
"Father."
"You knew about the veil being down at Mystic falls," I accuse.
"I don't know for sure, but the probability is high."
"And still you allowed us all to pack our bags and go there? I'm failing to see the brilliance of this plan," I say harshly.
"We can't stay in New Orleans and twiddle our fingers waiting for this asshole to attack. He wiped us out because we did that. We need to take the offensive."
I take a breath. "How'd you know I'd follow you?"
I can hear the smile in voice as he says: "I knew you were you."
I can't help but smile back. "What's your plan Henry? I know you can't be so thirsty for Silas's death to simply walk into Mystic Falls guns blazing."
I hear silence on the other end, before he says: "You're just going to have to trust me on this. We'll get Stefan and you guys get Claire. We'll rendezvous and take out Silas together."
I sigh heavily. "Fine. Sophie is making the cure as we speak. Once she's done, We'll be in Mystic Falls in an hour. And keep that Salvatore in check. I don't trust him."
"Not a problem."
"Remember. Don't be an idiot and get killed," I add. I honestly like the kid. Not becausmy his my son, but because its obvious he's brilliant and more loyal than any hybrid or sibling.
Henry chuckles.
"What?"
"You always say that." He responds. "See you soon." Then the line goes dead.
I look at my phone, smiling to myself. I then dial another number, now focusing on making preparations for my date with my wife.

Caroline POV
I open the box, gasping at the contents.
I take the blue lace panties and put them on, frowning that there isn't a matching bra anywhere. Just the dress and the blue sandals with what looked like real diamonds encrusted in them.
When I put on the dress, I realize why.
The blue dress is unbelievably sexy. It hugs all my curves and flairs out in the bottom. The bottom of the dress is short in the front, barely brushing my knees and long at the back. The straps join behind my neck and the front plunges into a deep v line, showing my cleavage. The back is completely exposed, making it completely impossible to wear any type of bra.
He would definitely have no problem accessing all my womanly assets in this, the freak, I muse.
I grab the white, sparkly Louis Vuitton bag that of course perfectly matched my blue sandals that he bought for me, and walk out of the room.
At the end of the stairs, I see Klaus, smirking up at me.
God he looks awesome. He has on a white dress shirt that, as always, has the top buttons open revealing his flawless chest and his necklaces. He finishes his outfit with black, silk pants and shoes.
"You look absolutely ravishing, Caroline," he says, his eyes raking over my body as if seeing me for the first time.
He extends his hand to me and I place my hand in his. He immediately bends his head and kisses my hand, making me feel faint.
Why does he have to be such the charmer?
"You look...alright I guess," I say casually, acting unfazed.
He leans into me, whispering in my ear, "You're a horrible liar sweetheart."
I smile broadly. "Okay. Fine. You look incredible."
"I try," he says with feigned humility.
"So what's this surprise?"
He holds my hand tightly. "Let me show you."
He leads me out into the balcony and I gasp.
There were candles and red roses all over the place.
From the balcony, red petals lead to a white sheet on the beach that had a high enough table to allow us to sit on the sheet and eat comfortably. it's covered with tons of food and champagne.
I'm simply speechless when he takes my hand and walks me down to the beach.
He watches me as I sit across from him, eating. I couldn't believe this. We leave the car, eat, have an amazing time shopping. He buys me this amazing dress and sets all this up...it's just too much. Something is going on. Something is going to happen.
"You don't like it," he says, dragging me from my thoughts. I catch the hint of hurt in his voice and I look up.
"No. No! It's really beautiful Klaus. Thank you."
"Then what is it?" He asks, "Something is bothering you," he says narrowing his eyes at me.
"What did Rebekah text you earlier?" I say abruptly.
He sighs and pours the contents of the champagne bottle into a glass. The smell of blood hits me, nearly distracting me.
Seeing my expression, he extends the glass to me, takes my glass and pours some for himself.
"It's wasn't good news Caroline. Do you really want to ruin what's been such a great day?"
"Just tell me."
I watch his jaw clench as he downs his glass. "All I want, is to be with you Caroline. To have dinner and to make love to you all night without worrying about what's waiting for us in that bloody one pony town."
"What's waiting for us?" I press, now moving to his side, as he pours himself another glass. I take it and drain it myself. I wait for his answer.
"Not tonight Caroline," he says quietly, nearly pleading with me. "Not tonight."
"So you just want to sit here and hide all your troubles behind a romantic dinner on the beach?"
"Yes," he replies stubbornly.
I narrow my gaze at him. I see this conversation isn't going anywhere.
"Then you can have dinner by yourself," I snap standing up about to stalk away.
I feel him grab my wrist, pulling me down on his lap.
I begin to glare at him but stop as I look at his face.
It's full of pain and vulnerability that just scares me.
He takes my face into his hands, stroking it tenderly.
"I don't ask you for much Caroline," he says, his gaze hot and intense, "but I'm asking you this, just for tonight, let me simply be a man. Not a vampire, not a werewolf, not a hybrid, but a man. A man who adores you, a man who simply wants to show you how much."
He runs his hands through my hair as I get lost in his stormy blue eyes. He kisses me gently, hesitantly.
"Let me make love to Caroline," he murmurs breathlessly, breaking me.
I crush my lips against his. He returns my kiss with just as much passion as I give him. Our tongues both wrestle each other for dominance, our hands running over each other's bodies as we hold on to one another for dear life. He breaks the kiss to travel down my neck, my chest.
I throw my head back, letting out a load moan as I run my hand through his hair.
I feel his hand reach behind me and unsnap the straps behind my neck, allowing my dress to fall from my body. He lays me gently on the white sheet as he takes a breast into his mouth, making my hips buckle against him.
Needing to feel more of him, I pull his shirt from his body, getting more wet as I hear him growl with approval as I glide my hands on his back, his arms, relishing the feel of his muscles.
I slowly leaves my reach when his kisses, his tongue runs down my stomach, my thighs.
When I feel his hot breath, and fingers massage my folds through my panties, I feel like I'll go mad.
"Please Niklaus..." I beg.
I feel his smile aganist that stupid underwear that just had to go, so I could feel his sweet tongue.
"I haven't forgotten about this morning in the car sweetheart."
He licks my folds without removing the damn fabric, making me grow even hotter with lust.
"Oh...Klaus. Please."
"An apology," he murmurs, continuing with his torture.
Ugh. I was going to get him for this later but now, he could ask me to stake myself if it meant him taking off that damn underwear!
He grabs one of my breasts now, rubbing my nipple.
"You're so wet Caroline," his voice drenched with want.
And I knew how much he meant it when he asked me to let him make love to him. How much he wanted to just worship my body.
The euphoria of that knowledge sends tingles throughout my body, increasing yearning for him.
"Sorry..." I manage to gasp. "So sorry."
In a millisecond, he tears the panties off my body. He wastes no time licking up my juices, stroking my folds and insides with his fingers until I come hard, screaming his name.
But I knew he wasn't done with me. He wants to feel me more, to be one with me. When he takes off his pants and slowly slides himself into me, staring into my eyes, I know there's no place I would rather be, no man that I would want as much as him.
He grabs me up to him as he pushes himself inside of me over and over.
His eyes glow a bright yellow, his desire for me taking over.
He runs his fingers around my eyes, feeling my veins there, knowing he wasn't the only one exposing their hybrid features.
"So beautiful," he murmurs as He kisses my neck, sucking on it not biting it though I can feel his fangs on my skin. "Come for me again Caroline," he mumbles against my skin, finally piercing it.
The feel of his bite is orgasmic, making me grab him for dear life as I fall off the edge.
Feeling the burn of his venom, I wrap my lips around his neck and bite him back.
"Caroline..." He moans into my neck, trembling slightly under my touch. I feel him throb inside me as he gets close, holding my head when his strokes gets faster and deeper, "God help me I love you so much."
"I love you too Niklaus," I say, now licking the blood of his neck, feeling myself getting close again.
After a few more thrusts, we come together with a loud groan.
We collapse on the sheet, out of breath.
"Thank you," he whispers as I cuddle against his chest.
I look up at him, bewildered. "Why?"
He gives me his characteristic smirk.
"For letting me pay you back for this morning."
I laugh. "You're an ass."
"And you love it," he replies confidently.
"Yes," I kiss him on lips, "I do."
"Then how about we make it official again?"
I watch him sit up and take one of his necklaces from his neck. He pulls the rings that are looped in it, looking into my eyes.
I feel my heart thundering in my chest, as he speaks.
"Will you be my wife again Caroline Forbes? Always and forever? Even when I'm being an insufferable, original ass?" He ends with a smirk.
"I'll think about it," putting on my best serious face. I laugh at the flicker of hurt that I see cross his face. I grab his face, kissing him. "Of course I will," I say softly. I watch him slip the rings into my finger. I take the ring off his finger, watching him arch his eyebrow with a mixture of curiosity and amusement.
"Will you be my husband again Niklaus Mikaelson?" I say with a smile. " Will you promise to never push me away, to let me be with you through the good times and bad?" My face falls a little. " Even if you get tired of me?"
All amusement leaves his face then. He cups my cheek, his gaze serious and piercing, desperate to impart some critical information. "I will NEVER tire of you Caroline. And I'll never push you away again," he vows.
I nod slightly, averting his gaze.
He lifts my chin. "I need you to believe that Caroline."
"I just don't get what you see in me," I confess.
"I see a caring, passionate woman, full of light. My salvation..." He says stroking my cheek.
My eyes fill with tears. "And I'll spend the rest of my eternity making you believe it," he whispers, bringing my lips to his for a sweet kiss that eradicates all my insecurities and fears.
XXXXXXXXXXX
A voice makes me wake up from Klaus's arms. I look down at him, snoring peacefully. I try to cuddle back into him but I feel what I can only describe as a magnetic pull. Like a sailor being drawn to the siren's song, I slowly get up from the white sheet, careful not to wake Klaus.
I grab my dress, secretly thankful that he didn't rip it off the way he usually does with my clothes during our lovemaking.
I cant stop myself from following the voice for what feels like miles before I make out a woman with straight brown hair and caramel skin.
I already knew who she was before she turns to me with a smile.
I no longer feel the pull, but I stay anyway.
"Bonnie. Or should I say Qestiyah?"
"Hello Caroline."
"Let Bonnie go," I demand strongly.
"I still need to this body to carry out Silas's will."
"He's using you!"
Her eyes narrow angrily at me. Instantly I'm on my knees, grasping my head in pain.
"Why don't you just kill me and be done with it?" I shout at her through the pain.
"Because Silas has different plans for you," says another voice that I haven't heard for three years.
"No," I whimper as I watch Claire walk up to me with Klaus's blue eyes and Hayley's chestnut brown hair. She reveals a stake in her hand.
"No...please Claire. Don't do this."
"Sorry, Care," she says with her Klaus like smirk. "Silas demands it."
Then she stakes me and I feel nothing but cold.

Klaus POV
I groan, my back stiff from laying on the beach surface all night.
I feel someone throw clothes at me. I get a sense of Deja Vu, remembering the time I broke the curse and shifted.
I grab them, looking up and seeing Elijah who has a grim look etched on his face.
"What is it Elijah?" I ask carefully, not liking his expression at all.
He simply hands me a piece of folded paper and I read:
"Hello Niklaus-
I hope you don't mind that I borrow a few of your pieces for the game of chess we've been playing lately. I just took you queen, your most powerful piece. She's looking a bit grey, but I believe you would want her nonetheless. I feel confident that such a move has put you, the king, in check."
Till we meet again-
Silas"
My hands tremble as I feel the weight of the letter's words shackle my heart and tear it in two.
I took your queen, I think replying the words in my mind. She's looking a bit grey...
"He killed her," I manage to say, not recognizing my voice as the tears prick behind my eyes, threatening to fall.
"He killed Caroline," I repeat brokenly, feeling the world crumble under my feet.
A/N now this chapter i enjoyed writing and I can't wait to hear your thoughts. This is kinda a filler chapter, but I thought a big Klaroline chapter was overdue and had to happen before this fic ends. Originally, I planned to put both Silas's power plays in one chapter, one affecting Damon's team and the other, which we saw this chapter, that affected Klaus's, but then the chapter would of been too long so I broke it up.
Don't hate me :). Im dying to hear your thoughts. I accept all reviews good and bad. Also, please let me know anything you want to see before this ends and I'll try to fit it in.
Next up - Silas makes another earth shattering move!
