Chapter 12

A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.

Caroline sat in bed thinking about the previous day. Klaus and Caroline had gone on a date. Though it wasn't perfect, she still enjoyed the time that she had spent with him. Caroline touched her lips and a smiled formed. She had finally given into her feelings and she had never felt happier. Klaus and Caroline had kissed. A smile had never left her face last night. She had felt herself smile even in her sleep. She couldn't remember the last time that she had felt this way. She didn't even know it was possible to feel this happy before. She moved the covers off her and jumped out of bed heading downstairs to get some breakfast. She found Elijah near the stove cooking what smelled like eggs. He turned to her and gave her a friendly smile.

"Morning Miss F-Caroline, it seems you have decided to stay after all." She nodded. He handed her a blood bag.

"Thanks. And yeah, I guess I did."

"May I ask what made you want to stay?"

"Umm,"

"And may I just comment that you actually seem like your glowing at least in the sense of happiness." Caroline shrugged.

"It's just a new day, new things. Sometimes change is good." She said. Elijah nodded. She wasn't ready to tell Klaus's older brother that they were well dating now. And he was the reason that she decided that she wanted to stay with him.

"I don't suppose that has anything to do with my brother." She nearly choked on her blood bag.

"Um…well ah…what would give you that idea?" She asked.

"Well either my brother has too many mood swings or his new mood has been the affect of your presence then." She raised an eyebrow and swallowed hard. "My brother is happy again. And when I say again, I mean since human. He has never been happy since he was well human and with my siblings not counting my father or mother. Thank you," She blushed.

"Oh I'm sure that he has been in good moods before." Elijah shook his head.

"Not like this, the last his good mood had been when he came back from Mystic Falls." She nodded.

"So where is Klaus?"

"He had some business with Marcel. But he should back soon. Apparently it has something to do with the attack last night. There had been another I suppose. Niklaus had asked me to give you this." He said. Caroline raised an eyebrow as Elijah handed her a new phone. She needed one that was for sure. But she still would have liked to buy it herself. "Niklaus, has already added his phone number by the looks of it. I hope you don't mind Miss Caroline, but I did add mine just for future reference if you need anything." She smiled and nodded.

"Thanks," He nodded.

"You're more than welcome," Elijah took the eggs off the stove and put some on three plates. One was probably for Hayley of course. Elijah moved to sit at the table with Caroline. He wanted to get to know Caroline more, not that he was trying to steal his brother's love. He didn't think of Caroline like that. He just wanted to meet the woman that had stolen his brother's heart. And also know her intentions with his brother. She was a nice girl and what he knew from Elena was she was the most controlled vampire that she had ever met. She didn't kill and always saw the good in people. That was how she was able to see Klaus's dark exterior and see past to his true self. "I must ask what are your intentions with my brother." Caroline had almost choked on her food again at hearing this. Great it was the old talk that most guys would have with the girl's father. But here Elijah was the father figure of the family concerned with his brother. He didn't want Caroline to hurt him.

"I don't have any intentions. I like him, and I want to get to know him more." She said. Elijah nodded and took a sip of his blood bag. Though Elijah went in between drinking from blood bags and feeding off people. But he hadn't done that in a few months. Finding drinking from a blood bag was much easier as well as he knew that Caroline drank from blood bags. He didn't want to make her uncomfortable on her stay here.

"Tell me about yourself, Caroline," She shrugged.

"Well I don't think there is that much to tell." She said taking a bite of her eggs.

"You have captured my brother's heart. I think that there is a lot to tell. I never did know how you two met." Elijah said. She shrugged.

"Uh well my ex that had been my boyfriend at the time bit me. Klaus was behind it at the time. He had intended for him to inflict it on me so that he could get my mother's support. I thought that he was going to let me die. And I would have let myself die. But he showed up having the intention on saving me. I told him that I kind of wished for death. Till he told me something that made me want to change my mind and then he saved me. But I guess we did kind of meet on senior prank day. But we didn't interact really." She answered. Elijah shrugged.

"I guess it wasn't hard to figure out that there had to be death in it."

"He was going to use me for the sacrifice." Elijah chuckled.

"Of course there had to be two ways that he would have tried to kill you. But I think at that point in time he didn't even know who you were." Elijah said. "So tell me what made you give my brother a chance? I have never met anyone that wasn't family give him a chance." Caroline shrugged.

"I stopped listening to what I thought I wanted which was that I must please my friends. But in the matter of who I have feelings for, I started thinking for myself and what I wanted. And I wanted to give him a chance." Elijah smiled when his phone beeped.

"This has been a lovely chat Miss Caroline but I must take care of this. Please don't hurt my brother. Treat him right Miss Caroline." Caroline nodded and watched him leave. She chuckled to herself. He was never going to just call her Caroline was he? She found her phone buzz as well.

Morning love, ;)

-K

She felt a smile creep up her face as she read the message.

Morning to you too. ;)

-C

What are you up to love?

-K

Nothing just got up and finished breakfast. Your brother is a really good cook I must admit.

-C

Of course he made breakfast. Always the gentleman.

-K

Yes, I can see what Elena means.

-C

And what does the doppelganger mean?

-K

That he is hot.

-C

-_- Careful love,

-K

She laughed and typed back.

My, minster Mikaelson are you jealous?

-C

No. I can cook breakfast to.

-K

I'm sure you can. Thanks for the new phone by the way.

-C

Anything for you, love. I have some matters to take care of with the creature it seems today.

-K

I could join you. Not much to do here.

-C

Too dangerous love.

-K

Klaus I'm with you, you're the most dangerous being on the planet unless someone has stepped up to claim that title now.

-C

Fine, but stay close to me. And on one condition.

-K

Shoot,

-C

Dinner, tonight.

-K

Fine, deal.

-C

I will come for you around noon.

-K

She glanced at the clock, it was ten right now. So he would be here in two hours. She might as well go take a shower. She smiled and typed before hopping off her chair and going to the shower.

Not too far Klaus felt his phone buzz and looked down to the message. Klaus smiled truly happy for once.

I look forward to it. See you soon.

-C

Notes: So here is another chapter. Sorry about the delay. So another chapter, next chapter will be when Klaus and Caroline work together. I wanted to get some Elijah and Caroline getting to know each other especially when Klaus and Caroline are dating. Next chapter: Klaus and Caroline look for the creature. And Elijah gets a well blast from the past. Review please.
