Caroline

"She's the subject of Klaus' affection?" Some stranger's voice commented.

Was he referring to her? Caroline awoke to voices and she remembered what happened – Tyler and Katherine were going to use as to get back to Klaus. Where is she? She decided to go back into pretending she was still out cold, and listen further.

"Are you out of your mind? It's been a year, how do you believe fully that Nik's thinking hasn't changed? What if he doesn't care about Caroline anymore? I don't really care about her but I am not willing to put her up at risk as well as myself and Marcel because of one stupid idea of you two idiots."

Oh my god, Rebekah. Caroline recognized the Original vampire's voice immediately and tried hard to not squirm and remain stationary. She had this instinct that the two idiots Rebekah was referring to are Katherine and Tyler.

"I have seen Klaus with Caroline more than I'd like to. I, more than anyone else wants to say that it's a moment of infatuation, that it's not anything serious, but I don't think it is just a simple moment of interest Klaus has for Caroline." Tyler spoke up. Caroline was right about one, now the other.

"That's right. And I heard that Klaus was going to punish me at my deathbed a year ago, but he was a no show in the end and apparently Tyler here can prove that Klaus was with that baby vampire. It's a big deal if she can stops Klaus from coming after me after all these 500 years." Katherine continued.

Annnnnd I was right, Caroline thought to herself. She didn't know what to feel, still. She felt so betrayed. Katherine, she had been forgiving with her once, working with her in Whitmore. And Tyler… even though they had ended things bad once, when he returned, they had became friends again. Though Tyler was angry once, when he found out Caroline hooked up with Klaus, but after that horrible accident, Tyler, along with the others, had stayed by her. She had been thankful, but now? She wasn't so sure. She was disgusted. She had to get out of here, but she had no idea how. She should be in New Orleans now, judging by the presence of Rebekah.

Klaus… She hasn't thought about him in a long time. When that accident first happened, he did come to her mind. Caroline was still confused as to how she truly felt towards Klaus, and she had made him promise not to come back, so she had quickly pushed the thoughts of Klaus away. She had tried so hard to be strong since then. But something inside her has changed. She's not the same Caroline in a way. And that had her thinking about Rebekah's words, it's been a year, she's right, maybe Klaus doesn't feel the same way anymore. After all, a year may seem short, but Caroline herself has changed so much. How is he now? The thought of Klaus brought a weird feeling to her heart, she quickly shrugged it off and decided to focus on the current situation.

Rebekah

After hearing what Tyler and Katherine said, it really had Rebekah thinking about the deal. She's desperate now, Marcel and her needs Nik to let them off, and she herself has been saying they need to deal with and not negotiate with Nik. Negotiation has proven to be pointless so many instances. But, this was still a risk. Will they be able to take this?

"Bekah," Marcel started slowly, turning to her. "If what they are saying is true, we have to at least try. We have to take on any resort we have now. If Klaus' affection for this Caroline vampire is really more than what it seems as an infatuation, it will prove to be useful. You and I both know that Klaus is sensitive to people he care for, even the two of us. It's a chance worth taking, for you," He touched her arm and looked her in the eyes. "For us."

Rebekah felt tears forming in her eyes at Marcel's sincerity, she believed him. He wanted them to finally work as much as she wants it. She quickly held back her tears, she's not showing a side of weakness in front of two of her foes.

"Come on little Original sister. Sometimes it isn't about who you're standing with, it's about who you're standing against. We both have a common target, and I offer you a hostage. Do you want to hold up your end of the deal, or not? I haven't got all night to waste." Katherine smirked at her. Rebekah felt disgust crawling up on her. She hated this girl. So much. But she hate to admit that Katherine was right, they have a common enemy to get at. And Klaus did cared about Caroline – she remembered her brother once chose to save Caroline over her and she had been so mad. Maybe this could work.

"What do you need from Marcel and I?" Rebekah asked.

Katherine let out a cunning smile, seemingly glad that a plan is in order. "I've been gathering information from all around over the past year. And I happened to know you both got a pretty nice amount of witches behind your back. So a witch, one who can hold Klaus down while we meet him, in case anything goes wrong."

Marcel looked at Rebekah and a silent agreement passed through them. "I'll get the witch." Marcel told Katherine. Just as Marcel got his words out, there's a shift in motion and Caroline was trying to flash out of the place. Katherine flashed in front of the blond vampire and held her by the neck before she made it out. "Let. Go. Of. Me!" Caroline struggled against Katherine. Rebekah took the chance and planted a small wooden stake onto Caroline's shoulder.

"Hello Caroline. Sorry we had to meet again like this, but the situation doesn't allow otherwise." Rebekah told the baby vampire while Caroline glared at her, but with far too little strength to get back at her.

"Hey! No hurting her okay? This is about getting back at Klaus. Nothing to do with Caroline personally." Tyler stood up before Caroline.

"You fool. She's a pawn in this game plan. No guarantees that she won't be hurt in the process. If you loved Caroline that much not to let her get hurt, you wouldn't have betrayed her." Rebekah said, she was really surprised Tyler was part of this plan in taking Caroline as a hostage. She knew he loved her, so it seems revenge really eats at him. This hybrid is getting more and more alike to Nik day by day. She shook her head in dismay. "Caroline, I'd hope you have better luck in finding guys than I do. But seemingly not, with Nik and Tyler. Pity."

Caroline let out a short and weak laugh. She tried to muster up something but was too weak to do so.

"Alright, I have Davina ready. Let's set the plan in action." Marcel returned with his phone in his hand. "Now time to contact our man."
