Chapter 7

She felt a hand over her mouth. She tried to move but the grip around her tighten.

"Don't move…."

Caroline rolled her eyes. She bit down as hard as she could. The grip on her mouth lowered and she felt her body being pressed into another. The kidnapper hissed. He squeezed his hands around her waist. Caroline opened her eyes wide. She wasn't being kidnapped…she was being….Caroline tried to restrain a moan. She felt a pair of soft lips kiss the side of her neck. She flinched as she tried to see who was holding her.

"I've been wanting to get you alone, all night my little dove."

"Nikolai…" She said almost in a whisper. She turned around and saw the most beautiful gray eyes staring back at her. He was tall, lean and had the most stunning sun kissed skin of all. His hair was a raven color that made the darkest of nights shy away. She looked into his eyes and threw her arms around his neck.

Nikolai grinned as he held the young vampire in his arms. She always smelled of flowers and sunshine. "How is my my favorite girl?"

Caroline released her grip and hit him in the chest. "You dirty thing…you said you were going to stay in touch and never have.I am still mad at you…" She said giving him a pout.

He lowered his head and shook it exaggeratedly. "Oh…my sweet…sweet dove you know it breaks my heart when you give me that look. " He caressed the side of her face with the tips of his knuckles. She shook her head at his shameless flirtation.

"Nikolai…where have you been? You know it's not safe to be here…"

"Why is that my little dove?"

"Marcel has pushed all of the werewolves out of town. It isn't safe.."

"What Marcel doesn't know won't hurt him…at any rate I was in the area….how could I miss the opportunity of visiting my favorite lady?" He said as he grabbed her hand and kiss her knuckles.

Caroline rolled her eyes. "Come on then…you can escort me to the ball."

"Are you sure? You know how I feel about your husband." He said raising his eyebrow.

"That's why I want you there." She said giving him a wink.

He laughed and shook his head shamelessly. She laced her hand around his arm and walked into the hall. They were greeted with strange stares. She smirked as she signaled one of the Marcel's guys. "Tony…my friend here needs a jacket."

The vampire looked at him strangely. "What about a mask?"

Caroline looked at Nikalai and shook her head. "No…those beautiful eyes were not made to be covered."

NIkolai smirked.

Caroline saw Nikolai put on the tux jacket the vampire gave him and smiled.

"What do you think?" He said raising his arms in the air.

Caroline looked at him as she circled and smiled. She adjusted his collar and nodded. "You are just so perfect I can't look at you." She grabbed his arm and dragged him into the ball. "What would you like to drink?"

"Scotch neat." He said.

She rolled her eyes just like someone she knew. "Sure thing. Be right back. " She said as she flashed towards the bar.

She signaled the bartender and ordered a dirty martini and a scotch neat. She turned around and saw his warm gray eyes looking at him. He was standing near a table talking to Sophie. She smiled. She remembered how much he liked that spicy witch. They were like two magnets. The orchestra was playing another slow jazz song. She moved her hips to the music as she waited for the drinks.

"Caroline…"

Caroline turned around and smiled. "Stef..are you having a good time?"

"Sure…where did you go? I was looking for you after that tango with Klaus."

Caroline rolled her eyes.

"Are you okay?"

"Sure…why?" Caroline said.

"You looked a little stressed that's all." Stefan said.

"No..just annoyed. Marcel loves to agitate. "

"Yes…Klaus was…" Stefan closed his mouth abruptly.

"Klaus was what? " Caroline said frowning.

Stefan turned his head as he saw a dark haired vampire approach him.

Nikalai stood in front of Caroline and smiled. He eyed Stefan for a second.

Caroline smiled when she saw him approaching, "Nikalai…what happened you missed me already?"

"Of course my little dove." He said as he smirked at the blond.

"Nikolai this is Stefan Salvatore my oldest and dearest friend…Stefan this is Nikolai Sweetwater."

Stefan smiled and extended his hand. Nikolai squeezed his hand and smirked. Stefan eyes the vampire strangely. There was something oddly familiar about him. He just couldn't put his finger on it.

"Stefan…well any friend of my little dove…" He said as he eyed Caroline.

Caroline grabbed the drinks the bartender left on the bar and handed it to Nikolai.

"So where do you know Caroline?" Stefan asked as he took a sip of his drink.

Nikalai smirked. "We're lovers…"

Caroline started to choke on her martini.

Stefan and Nikolai looked at Caroline. "Are you alright?" They said in unison.

Caroline regained composure and gave Nikolai a stern look. "Nikolai…"

Nikolai laughed. He took a sip of his drink.

Caroline looked at Stefan and shook her head.

"No…we meet in Rome. I was traveling with a group of friends and I saw the most beautiful blond vampire with the clearest blue eyes. I knew I had to meet her. "

"So your friends…" Stefan asked.

"Unfortunately…but not for lack of trying…"

Caroline hit him on the shoulder. "How could I take you seriously. You are such a helpless flirt. "

Nikolai grinned.

"I see…" Stefan said as he looked at the interaction.

"No…Caroline's heart belongs to another hybrid."

Stefan stopped drinking midway. "Another hybrid."

"Yes…" Nikolai raised his glass to his mouth smiling at the vampire's confusion.

"Nikolai is a hybrid as well. "

"Really?" Stefan looked baffled. "Are you a ware wolf too?"

"Not exactly. I was a shift shaper before I turned. " He said. "Why is there another hybrid in New Orleans?"

Stefan snickered.

"Yes his name is Niklaus Mikaelson. He was born a werewolf before he turned. He's Marcel's sire." Caroline said.

"Really ?" Nikalai said. " Well, I won't hold that against him."

Stefan grinned. "Speaking of the devil."

"Not quite. The Original Hybrid is fine, Salvatore." Klaus said as he appeared from the shadows. "I don't think we have met yet. My name is Niklaus Mikaelson. " He said as he stretched his hand.

Nikolai smirked. "Nikolai Sweetwater. " He squeezed his hand a bit tighter then etiquette asked for.

Klaus grinned. " So what are shifters doing in the quarter?"

Nikolai stepped towards Caroline and kissed the top of her hand. "Visiting an old friend. "

Klaus suppressed a growl. That shifter was putting his dirty paws on his girl. His temper was starting to flare. His hands formed a fist on his side. He wanted to tear him limb from limb. "I see…" He said almost in a beastly growl.

Caroline looked at the annoyance in Klaus' face and smirked. "Nik…dance with me…" She said as she tugged on Nikolai's arm.

Klaus narrowed his eyes as he saw Caroline dancing with the shifter. He needed a went to the bar and signaled the bartender. He grabbed the drink and groaned. He needed something stronger. He watched as Caroline put her hands around the shifter's neck.

Stefan smirked as he saw the hybrid clenching his drink.

"Interesting…"

"What are you babbling about now, Rippah?" Klaus said as he gulped his drink.

"It seems New Orleans is a mecca for hybrids…" Stefan said smiling at Klaus' murderous glare.

"What are you babbling about?" Klaus barked.

"Caroline's new friend…he's a vampire and a shift shaper…I guess you aren't quite so original after all..." Stefan said as he saw Caroline dancing with her new boy toy.

Klaus growled as he saw Caroline lean back laughing at something the shifter said. Klaus eyes darken. He needed to get some air. He flashed away before Stefan said another word.

Caroline turned to look at Klaus as he storm off. She took a deep breath. He was on edge. An edgy hybrid isn't something she needed right now. Years of knowing Klaus told her that if he sensed a threat he would retaliate. She rolled her eyes. Great she was on damage control.

"Caroline…what is it?" Nikolai asked as he saw the annoyance in her face. He gave her a concerned look. "What is it my little dove?"

"Ah…nothing…that I can't worry about until tomorrow. " Caroline tried to say reassuringly.

"Are you sure my love?"

Caroline looked at him and rolled her eyes. "No its just….nothing…really."

"Is this about your friend…what's his name Kass…"

"Klaus." Caroline laughed. "You know his name…you never forget a name…ever."

"Yes, well…" Nikolai said shortly.

"What? What is it?"

"Is he?" Nikolai shook his head.

"is he what?" Caroline said raising her eyebrows.

"Is he the one?"

Caroline lowered her eyes. She opened her mouth and closed it again. She felt a chill down her spin.

"May I cut in?"

Nikolai smirked and shrugged his shoulders. " You are the husband….at least for now…" He grabbed Caroline's hands and kissed her knuckles. She gave him a smile before she relinquished her hand and faced her husband.

"Who invited him?" Marcel asked.

"I did…he was my plus one." Caroline said as she smiled.

Marcel narrowed his eyes for a second but plastered his signature smile shortly after. "What is he doing here?"

"Just visiting…why am I not allowed any friends, Marcellus?"

Marcel snickered. "Within reason."

Caroline looked away and she felt a pair of eyes burning the side of her face. She gave him a short smile.

"Have you found anything out?"

"No." Caroline said she turned away guilt was starting to creep in.

"Caroline…you know I am a patient man but…my mercy only goes so far. " Marcel tighten his grip around Caroline's waist.

"I don't know anything yet. You know that he doesn't trust anyone. It's going to take some time. " Caroline said as she tried to move away from his grip.

"Don't take too long Carrie, you wouldn't want to anything to happen to Davina."

Caroline pushed his hands away from hers. "You hurt her so help me…."

Marcel grabbed her arm. "You'll what? It would be a shame if anything were to happen to poor Sophie while you were taking your time…"

Caroline looked at a pair of Marcel's minions circling Sophie. "Okay…" Caroline said through clenched teeth.

Marcel smiled. "Good girl." Marcel released his grip. "Go get 'em tiger…" Marcel said as he slapped Caroline's ass.

Caroline stopped mid step and gave him a glare. She shook her head she didn't have time for this right now she had to find Sophie.

Caroline examined the room. She located Sophie and sighed a breath of relief. She grabbed a drink from the bar and decided to make her rounds. She knew the party was starting to die down but she had to make sure everything was in place. She saw Marcel dancing on the dance floor with a blond in a white angel costume. She took a sip from her drink and rolled her eyes.

"He always was a shameless flirt…."

Caroline turned around and gave a solemn look. "Apparently some things don't change."

Rebekah snickered. " And some do…"

Caroline smiled at the thinly veiled comment. "Are you enjoying yourself, Rebekah?"

"It is grand…your tastes have quite improved since Mystic Falls…"

Caroline laughed. "I am so glad you approve." Caroline didn't know if Rebekah was paying her a compliment or an insult. "Well I am glad you and Stefan have found each other. He seems happy."

Rebekah smiled. " Are you?"

Caroline smirked. "I…" She looked across the room and saw Klaus dancing with a dark haired woman. She was dressed in a white gown that feather out giving the illusion of a mermaid tail. She started to feel a tinge of anger in her chest. He was grinding on her and she looked happy to oblige. She narrowed her eyes and clenched her teeth. Caroline get a grip you will not let that man unnerve you.

Rebekah raised an eyebrow at the change in humor in her face. She followed Caroline's range of vision and smirked. She saw Klaus dancing with a human he was feeding from. Caroline was jealous. That was interesting. Rebekah smirked. "You know as vampires being with the wrong person for eternity could be a lot more painful to bear than any torture one can endure."

Rebekah took a sip of her champagne.

"What? What are you talking about?" Caroline asked. She shook her head in confusion.

Rebekah smiled. She was about to answer when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Bekah are you behaving?" Stefan said giving her a slight frown.

Rebekah rolled her eyes. "Of course…"

Caroline looked at the silent interaction between the two and couldn't help but smile. She looked at the love in her friend's eyes and felt a warmth inside. She was so happy for Stefan. He finally got his happy ending.

"If you'll excuse us we have some unfinished business to attend to.." Stefan said as he smiled to Rebekah.

Caroline frowned slightly.

"Nik has us gathering intel. " Stefan said as he held onto Rebekah's waist.

"You should ask his humber two, Diori. He is always by Marcel's side. " Caroline said as she turned to look at the light skinned vampire with the ball cap.

Rebekah nodded and pulled Stefan to the dance floor.

Caroline smiled and walked over to the bar. She ordered another martini.

Caroline got her drink and scanned the room. Where was Nikolai? She could of sworn he was nearby? I hope he's alright?

"Looking for someone, sweetheart?"

Caroline smiled. She didn't have to turn to know who that was.

"Actually yes, I was looking for a tall dark hair stranger. Have you seen him?"

"Maybe, how much do you want him?"

"What are you offering for the information?" Caroline said as she turned around and saw a pair of silver eyes.

Nikolai smiled. He offered his arm and she graciously accepted.

"Where did you go?"

" Your not the only drop dead gorgeous blond in the room."

Caroline raised an eyebrow. "So I've been replaced…how can I go on…" She said in mock defiance.

Nikolai smiled. "No of course not…I was talking to some of my contacts here…there are a few omegas I was trying to get them past the city limits before Marcellus got to them."

"Do you need any help?" Caroline asked.

"Maybe…for now no…" Nikolai said. Nikolai looked at the look of annoyance in Marcel's face and smirked.

"Caroline…"

Caroline turned and saw Sophie walking over. "Sophie…"

"Hey Care…I know I should stay but my feet are tired…is it okay if I go early?"

"Yeh, sure…just give me a minute…"

"No…its okay I'll take her where ever she needs to go…" Nikolai said as he gave Sophie a slow consuming look. He licked his lips as he saw the dark haired witch smile. He smirked looking at her blush and put a stray hair behind her ear.

"I…I'd love that." Sophie managed to say.

Caroline tried to suppress a smile. "Okay…that's settled. Call me if you need anything. "

Sophie nodded and was whisked away before her eyes.

Caroline smiled. She felt the heat that was emitted from those two. It was incredible.

Klaus was in the dance floor dancing with a tall thin dark hair woman. He placed his hands around her waist drawing her close to him. He nodded as he concentrated on the beating of her heart as he pulled her closer. He pushed her hair back away from her neck. She stiffened a bit. Her grip around him loosen. She was starting to stir.

"What…what are you doing..?" She said breathlessly.

He turned his head to face her. His eyes darkening. His eyes starting to dilate. "Be quiet. Don't move…" His fangs elongate as his eyes turned golden. He sank his fangs deep into his throat. He drank her in completely. Klaus closed his eyes and all he saw was his Caroline dancing with that gray eyed mongrel. His filthy hands were all over her. All over his girl. His anger started to inflame. He opened his eyes and sucked the brunettes blood in. Her heart was starting to cease. Her grip on his shoulders was starting to loosen. Her body felt limb.

"Klaus…"

Klaus' eyes turned towards the sound. He pulled out of the girl's throat. Caroline grabbed the girl from Klaus grip and drew her closer. Her eyes started to dilate. "Go home don't look back." She watched the brunette go and shook her head at the hybrid. "What are you doing?"

Klaus smirked. His eyes saturated with the high from the blood lust. His eyes dark and void of emotions. "Why don't you go and play with your toy boy. "

"What…?" Caroline snapped.

Klaus walked away bumping her as he passed.

Caroline's eye widen in shock. The nerve of that man. What the hell is his problem. Why was he snapping at her for now? Caroline shrugged her shoulders as she saw Marcel give her a strong stare. She rolled her eyes. She knew she had a part to play but the idea of it made her sick to her stomach. She grabbed a glass of champagne and finished it in one gulp. She walked over to where the hybrid stood sulking.

"What do you want?" Klaus said annoyed.

"We need to talk…now MIkaelson." She said as she walked towards a private room. She waited for him to enter before she locked the door checking to see that no one had followed her. She took out a pouch from her boot and took out a dark green powder. She blew the powder on the door and replaced the pouch.

Klaus raised his eyebrow. What is she about?

Caroline smiled. "Its so we won't be overheard. "

Klaus remained silent. What was she plotting now? Was she luring him to kill him or what?

"Relax Niklaus I'm not here to kill you…I just have some news and I don't want anyone to hear us…"

Klaus nodded. The way she said his name still gave him chills. She was a weakness he hated to admit or forget for that reason.

Caroline's eye's widen her heart was starting to pound faster. He still felt something for her. What was it? Fear? Pain? Resentment? Or could it be…love? No. She lowered her eyes. She wouldn't allow herself to start dreaming or even try to fantasizing of what would have been. She stepped closer to him wanting to tell him she still felt the same. She was there all he had to do was…ask. But she stopped after he took a step back.

"What is it love?" Klaus said impatiently.

"Oh…I…" Caroline blinked back the urge to reach for him again.

Klaus raised an eyebrow. "Yes?"

"There is going to be a blue moon in a fortnight. We have to move quickly…"

"Yes…?"

"The witches can harness the energy of the moon and bring back Kol…but you need some of Marcel's blood." Caroline said as she crossed her hands over her chest.

"What does Marcel have anything to do with it?" Klaus said coldly.

"Nature demands balance…a life for a life."

Klaus walked around her in a dizzying cycle. He looked like he was stalking his prey. " I see…"

Caroline's eyes followed his. He stopped walking. He frown as he was calculating a scheme. "It has to be as flawless as possible. He could never know what we are doing. "

"And how pray tell do you expect me to get his blood. Say ooh mate can I have a vial of your blood…its for a good cause…" Klaus started to raise his voice. He grabbed her shoulders. His grip tightening around her in annoyance.

Caroline saw the dark glare in his eyes. His eyes were giving her a icy stare. Caroline winced. She tried to get free from his grip. "Klaus…"

Klaus smirked. She had finally sought him out and for what…to plan to kill her husband. The thought was making him sick to his stomach. He felt the bile starting to build up.

"Bite him…" She said softly.

Klaus was taken back. "What? What did you say?" His grip loosen. He took a step back.

Caroline rubbed her aching shoulder. "Go confront him and bite him…when his blood is in your mouth wipe it on something…a napkin…a handkerchief whatever…and then give it to me or Sophie…all we need is a little blood…"

Klaus nodded. "When do you need this?"

"The day of the blue moon…when the moon is in its apex we can perform the ritual. "

"What are you going to do?"

"Its better if you don't know, love." Klaus said grinning at the blond.

Caroline shrugged her shoulders. Caroline gave him a quick look and smiled. She walked towards him slowly. Her eyes were hypnotized. A drop of the brunettes blood was still on the side of his crimson lips. She licked her lips. She leaned in and wiped the stray blood on the side of his mouth. She looked at the blood on the tip of her finger and put it in her mouth. She closed her eyes. She sucked her finger until it was clean.

Klaus raised an eyebrow. Her touch sent a surge in every pore of his body. His eyes darken at the sight. She was a vision. Her eyes became a deep obsidian. His own matching its dark hue. His attention was captivated. She closed her eyes and moaned softly. The sound was only audible by his hybrid hearing. Her moan enkindled his senses. He flashed towards her and placed his hands on the side of her face.

She looked up and slowly took her finger from her mouth. Her eyes clouded with hunger. She saw him lean in and place a ferocious kiss on her lips. She closed her eyes and surrendered to his kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. She inhaled his unique musk, he smelled of spice and nature at its most raw and primal. She sighed as her fingers roamed his soft golden locks.

He wrapped his hands around her waist. He hissed as he felt her chest crush his. His fingers squeezed her back. She moaned as she gave his earlobe a soft bite. His hands searched her body. He caressed her bottom eliciting a purring sound from Caroline's mouth. She wrapped her legs around his hips grinding them as she felt him close to her. She broke their kiss and attacked his neck with her tongue. She licked and sucked his neck leaving him panting for more. He flashed them to the nearest wall with a loud thump. She lifted her head and groaned. She bit back the pain and continued her attack on his neck. He lowered his head and placed kisses on the top of her chest. She arches her back giving him more access to her molten hands stroke his chest. She smirked as her fingers memorized his chest. She unbuckled his jacket and unbuttoned his dress shirt a button at a time. He grinned as her fingers roamed his chest. Her fingers caressed the top of his chest until they reacted their destination, his curve of his hip bone. Her hands reached underneath his belt buckle. His eyes became golden with need. He had to have her. He needed to feel her. He held her with one hand as the other raised her dress over her hips. He plunged a finger into her wet core. He smiled a sweet smile of victory as he moved and teased her sensitive core. She moaned and held him tight scratching the back of his neck. She moved and gyrated to the sweet rhythm of the tingles attacking her spine. She tugged his belt buckle loose and released him. She moaned looking at the passion in his eyes. He saw the look of need in her eyes and bit his bottom lip. He needed to have her now.

He closed his eyes and thrusted into her wet core. His movements rough and savage. Her vampire face fueled the fire inside of him. He thrusted into her fast and deep. She held on to him as he moved in an inhumane speed. His movements created a pool of need inside of her that became unquenchable. She grounded and moved her hips encouraging his vigor. He growled. She was making his control diminish…the beast within was clawing its way out. He needed to claim her…make her mis. His hybrid fangs started to pierce through. His gums were aching for relief. He needed to taste her. The smell of her blood was calling him. He needed to taste its sweet nectar…the beast craved it as his body craved her touch. He pulled his head back trying to control the urge to pierce her skin. He closed his eyes and tried to ignore the pull.

Caroline felt the hesitation in his body. She looked into his eyes and say the eyes of the beast within. She moved her hands on the side of his face and he opened his eyes. His eyes remained golden and in painful need of release. She smiled and leaned into his ear. " Make me yours…"

Klaus' eyes widen for a second and obeyed. He sank his fangs into her neck. She winced for a second as the pain resided. He drank her in gulping her in at first.

"Slow down baby…" She said in a whimper. She placed soft kisses on the side of his ear licking his lobe.

Klaus found an inch of control as his hunger ceased. He drank her in listening to the beating of her heart. It was still beating strong. He loosen his grip on her neck slowing the flow of his devouring thirst.

Klaus thrusted into her aching core faster and deeper longing for release. His body continued its relentless need to claim her until he felt her body convulse. She held him tighter holding on for dear life. He continued his rhythm until his release was met. They remained in each others arms trying to catch their breath. He rested his head on her shoulder. Her hands laid limp on his shoulders. She took a deep breath and controlled her breathing. Her hands moved his head to face her. His eyes still golden, his veins an ebony hue. She placed her hands on his face tracing the path of his veins. He closed his eyes relishing in her touch.

"Look at me Klaus…" She said. She licked her lips in anticipation. He opened his eyes and smirked. His breathing starting to go back to its normal state. She placed kisses underneath each eye making his darken veins cease. She smiled as she saw a pair of azure eyes. She kissed the top of his lip. He moaned softly. His hands tightening around her waist. She placed a soft kiss on his bottom lip. She leaned in and kissed his mouth softly. She closed her eyes and released her fangs. She bit into his bottom lip sucking the trail of blood that followed. She sucked and drank him in. He tasted divine. Her tongue licked his blood stained mouth until it was clean. She felt her neck start to heal and placed a soft kiss on his lips. She broke the kiss and whispered in his ears, " I missed this…"

He smirked and released his hands from her waist. She unwrapped her legs from his hips slowly making sure he felt every inch of her essence before she got on her feet. He groaned as her body left his. "Do you now?"

She released her hands from his neck and raised an eyebrow. "Klaus…?"

"A lot of things have changed, love." He said as he stepped back putting his pants on.

Shame filled Caroline. She pulled her dress down. She looked at the coldness in his eyes. "Have they?" She felt a sadness overcome her.

Klaus flashed in front of her. " What are you doing here Caroline? What are you doing with Marcel? That shifter? "

Caroline swallowed the lump forming in her throat. "I…"

"Why are you with him?" He grabbed her arm pulling her close. "Why Marcel…it couldn't possibly be any form of affection…unless you give it away as freely as you did just now." He released her the minute he saw the hurt in her eyes. He closed his mouth in shame.

Caroline's anger started to boil over. The nerve of him. She raised her hand and slapped him with all the strength she could muster. He took a step back. He looked at her in a fugue of ire.

"How dare you…talk to me to me like that?" Caroline spat. "You…you bastard…"

Klaus flashed towards her. He held her other hand before she could slap him again. "I may be a bastard but what are you …a whore…"

Her vampire face in full force. She tried to get out of his grip. He was too strong.

"Is that what happened you whored yourself off to the first vampire you saw…was that what happened with Marcel…you saw he had power and what did you open your legs as soon as he gave you a smile or was that what happened with the shifter…"

Tears started falling down her face. "I…I…came to New Orleans to look for you…after you left Isla Nena…I came here for you…"

Klaus released his grip on her hands. He took a step back. "What?"

She wiped the tears that were falling form her eyes. " I came to look for you…but you weren't there…I needed to find you and I had my daughter we needed protection…you weren't there…so…I made a deal with Marcel…I…had to marry him in order to save my…daughter…at first he was kind…them when he found out of her power he took her…hid her from me…he threatens her life whenever I…disobey his stupid rules…he…doesn't know she's my daughter….he thinks…he thinks she's my niece…"

"Why the lie….Caroline."

"Because if he knew who was he would kill her…"

Klaus frowned. "Who is she? Who is she, Caroline."

"She's…my daughter…what do you care…who she is? I'm just a whore…it doesn't matter where she came from…" Caroline looked at the shame and remorse on his face. "I will keep my end of the bargain. Make sure you keep yours, hybrid. " She said sharply her voice filled with as much venom as her broken heart could muster.

"Caroline…" Klaus flashed in front of her. "I…"

"What, Klaus…your sorry…are you really?" Caroline said frowning at the hybrid.

"I…"

"You told me a long time ago love is a weakness…and you the original hybrid is not weak…or has that changed. "

Klaus remained silent.

Caroline bit her lip. She shook her head. " For whatever its worth…Marcel never touched me…"

"But what about the mongrel?" He bellowed.

"He's a friend…nothing more…I gave my heart away a long time ago…"

Klaus clenched his teeth. "Did you?"

"I did…to a coward how was afraid to love."

Klaus remained silent. His heart stopped. His body frozen in time.

"Get the blood. "

Klaus nodded.

She started to walk away but stopped midway. " Marcel wants me to play spy…if I don't he's going to kill Davina…I…"

"Caroline…"

She raised her hand. " I'm not... but I need to tell him something…anything…"

Klaus nodded. " I'll give you a name…" He walked towards her and raised his hand to her face. She turned her head away. Klaus lowered his hand. "Love…I…I'm sorry…"

"Me too, Niklaus…I love you but I can't…my heart can't take your distrust…I have to think about my daughter. She doesn't deserve this life…she doesn't deserve to be caught up in the war of her parents..."

"Caroline…" Klaus said raising an eyebrow.

"I've said too much…I…" She raised her hands and fixed herself. " I should go before I'm missed. She turned to the opened the door and moved her hand on the green powder in the door. She chanted a few words and left it as it was before. She turned her head and gave Klaus a quick look. She took a deep breath and started to walk away. She closed her eyes for a second. She stopped as she ran into something solid. She opened her eyes. "Elijah…"

"Miss Gerard." He said as he took a set aside.

She smiled and flashed away.

Elijah raised an eyebrow. What has got her so rattled? He turned his head when he heard foot steps. He remained silent. Of course. He nodded when he saw Niklaus. "Brother…"

Klaus clenched his teeth. Great."Elijah…"

"Brother we need to talk…"
