Chapter 4

Tyler arrived at Caroline's house and didn't see Caroline's car in the driveway. 'Hmm, weird,' He thought to himself. He knocked on the front door anyway. Sheriff Forbes answered the door. "Oh, Tyler. Hello." She sounded sad.

"Hello Mrs. Forbes, um, is Caroline home?" Tyler knew the answer but he asked anyways.

"No, I'm sorry. She left about an hour ago and she said she wasn't coming back."

'Dammit! She compelled her mother.' Tyler felt himself getting angrier by the minute. He gathered himself and calmly said goodbye to the sheriff. What was he supossed to do? The girl he loved left town and noone knew where she was and he may have mutilated her father.

Meanwhile; on the borderline of North Carolina and Tennesse, Caroline pulled her Grey Jeep to the side of the road. She thought to herself about what she was about to do. She knew Klaus would be in Tennesse, now all she had to do was convince him to leave her friends and boyfriend alone. She needed them to be safe. They didn't have forever like she did. Their lives would soon fade to nothing; she wanted their lives to be as normal as possible. That wasn't possible as long as Klaus and his hybrid minions were terriozing Mystic Falls. She'd do whatever it took to keep her friends safe. That's why noone can know where she is. If they find out, they are all in danger. For the first time in years, Caroline cried. She cried because she was basically giving herself over to Klaus to save her friends and she was scared.

Caroline wiped her tears and set forth on her journey. She started her jeep and drove across the Tennesse line. 'Now where would an all powerful hybrid be?' Caroline thought to herself. She decided to check out the night life. She went to a club called, Spark!. Her vampire instincts must be working, she spotted Klaus sitting across the club at the bar. She slowly walked towards him afriad of what he would do to her.

As she approached, Klaus turned to face her. "Ah, Caroline. What a pleasant surprise."

"Klaus." Caroline wasn't here because she wanted to make small talk. "I'm here to ask you for a favor."

Klaus' eyes brightened. "What favor sweetheart?"

Caroline was trembling. She couldn't even look him in the eyes. She had to admit though, he had some dashing qualilites. She looked at him and felt her cheeks get hot. 'Am I blushing? No; not possible. It must just be hot in this club.' Caroline silently argued with herself.

Klaus was getting impatient. "Caroline?"

God that accent. 'Just do it.' She thought to herself. 'Just give yourself to him'

"I..um..came to ask you to leave my friends alone."

Klaus chuckled, "Haha, You want me to leave them alone?"

"Yes." Her voice was more confident now.

"What will I get in return for leaving your friends alone?" Klaus wondered what the baby vampire was up to.

"Me."

Klaus thought about her offer silently. 'hm, she is willing to give herself over to me, to save her friends?' 'She's cute and I could use some spare hands since Stefan decapitated all my hybrids.'

"Have a drink with me Caroline."

"Deal or no deal? If you aren't going to make a deal with me then I shall leave."

"Deal."

With that Caroline sat down on the bar stool next to Klaus and had a drink with him. Klaus and Caroline were both wondering roughly the same thing; what now?
