Chapter 15

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

Caroline opened her eyes finding that she had slept on the couch. She found herself curled into a hard body. She looked up to find Klaus sleeping peacefully. He seemed happy for once. She could also see the paint that was still on his nose. She chuckled before his phone rang. She groaned, of course whoever was calling him had to ruin the moment. Klaus groaned and woke to Caroline who was leaning over him to get his phone. She moved to hand it to him. Klaus moved to sit up and she slide down onto his lap, as he answered his phone.

"Elijah, there a problem in Bayou?"

"I think we have found something that you might want to see." Elijah said.

Back in Mystic Falls Bonnie was worried. She hadn't heard from Caroline in a while. And Stefan had left with Enzo. She knew that she probably had been harsh on Caroline, even if she had slept with Klaus. It had been almost a week, Elena was starting to come around to saying that she was worried about Caroline. But she was still holding a grudge as well. She was also worrying over what the Travelers had said.

"If you think too much it's going to cause you wrinkles darling." She groaned.

"Don't you have anything better to do then bother me?" She demanded. He shook his head.

"Nope, I should warn you that those Travelers will probably be back soon. And not too happy." He said. "But I say forget about the older Salvatore, I mean he is a loss cause as well as the world would be better off without him." The Travelers had Damon, and they would kill him if Bonnie and Elena didn't find Stefan's doppelganger and kill him.

"Well maybe since you have nothing better to do you can help me." Bonnie said. "I still need to find Caroline."

"She's safe and fine. Nothing to worry about." Kol said.

"What? How do you know that?"

"Ok…maybe she was kidnapped in the beginning…"

"What?! I have to call Elena, we need to find her and-

"She is safe now in New Orleans with my brother."

"She's with Klaus?" He nodded.

"I think she feels safer there and more wanted around. Much nicer company then the way how her so called best friends treated her when she slept with my brother. Did that stop the older Salvatore and younger from sleeping with my sister? Why does it matter who you people love, it's love isn't it?"For once Kol was actually talking wise.

"But it's Klaus…I mean he doesn't feel…" Kol gave her a look.

"You know I may be quite annoying and an original but does that make me rock. Everything feels." She sighed.

"I'm sorry," She said.

"It's just hard to believe after everything that he has done to us." He rolled his eyes.

"Stop claiming that you are the victims in this matter, some of it yes. It has been nothing but back and forth between us. You are just as much to blame as my brother is. You killed my brother, and me. I think we're pretty much even now, because in the process you're also killing a thousand other vampires through us. Your hands are just as bloody as mine now." Bonnie swallowed hard. "Oh and I think you should know that Miss Caroline is now officially dating my brother." Bonnie stared at him. Was he serious?

Klaus and Caroline entered the clearing of the woods. She could see many people among the woods in a small area. Elijah stood there waiting.

"Niklaus, Miss Forbes," She smiled and nodded.

"What is it that needs my attention Elijah,"

"The wolves, have shown me something that has been with them for the last hundred years." He pulled a ring out of his pocket and handed it to Klaus. Klaus studied it. A werewolf walked up to them. He had long dark hair and hazel eyes. Caroline then remembered that Elijah and this werewolf were the ones that got into a fight at the party. Clearly they didn't like each other at all.

"The ring has been in the clan for a while. Still no one knows what it is." The werewolf said. He glanced at Caroline, at first he didn't seem to like Caroline. Probably because she was a vampire.

"This ring, could have something to do with the curse." Klaus said.

"Curse?" Caroline asked. The werewolf turned to her.

"Well our werewolf clan has had a curse since the late and early eighteen hundreds or so." He said. Elijah huffed.

"Miss Forbes this is Jackson, he happens to be the pack lead of the Crescents." Elijah explained.

"Perhaps you should move back to the 1400s. I am sure that this vampire girl has a name." Jackson snarled. Elijah glared at him. Klaus rolled his eyes, Caroline decided to speak to break the glares that they were sending one another.

"I'm Caroline Forbes," She introduced herself.

"Nice to meet you, I'm sure I will be seeing more of you around." Klaus glared at him. "Or not," Klaus's jaw clenched. "You originals are so touchy," He commented.

"What is the curse?" Caroline asked.

"The Crescents or our werewolf clan can't turn on the full moon. Only for the remainder of the month can we turn." He said. "It was Marcel who wished to place it on us. To weaken us, and if we were untied I would think that we would have been able to beat the vampires." Jackson said.

"Why aren't you untied?" Caroline asked.

"Things have changed and been more complicated. My parents had hoped to be reunited through arrange marriage." He nodded to Hayley who was talking with the other werewolves few feet away from them. Caroline raised an eyebrow.

"Jackson and Hayley were to be married, therefore uniting the clans in one." Klaus explained.

"We are still currently betrothed." Elijah's jaw clenched. Jackson smirked at that. "Unfortunately for now she is still having this hybrid's child. Which I really don't think will be working out so well." Caroline swallowed hard, it was still hard to take in the fact that Klaus was having a child with Hayley. She brushed it off. Turns out Hayley was unfaithful during her betrothal. Although she didn't know, still she wasn't surprised if she couldn't be faithful. But she was finally with her family, so she got what she wanted in the end even if she had to betray them all for it. Jackson turned away walking back to his pack. Elijah turned to Klaus.

"I had heard that Genevieve might had, had something to do with the curse that was placed on the Crescents." Elijah said. Klaus turned to him. "I suggest you find out what she knows brother. I think I will be confronting Marcel on this matter as well." Elijah said. Klaus nodded, and Elijah turned back to the pack.

"The witch?" Caroline said. Klaus shrugged and nodded. Great, she thought. They were back in the car, driving back to New Orleans. Genevieve of course it had to be Genevieve.

"So Genevieve was the one that placed it on the werewolves?" Caroline asked. Klaus shrugged.

"I don't think it was just her, I also think that it was Celeste and a few other witches. Which means that it probably won't be easy to lift." Klaus said.

"Much like yours." She said. Klaus glanced at her. "It did take you a thousand years."

"Only because Katerina escaped me." She shrugged.

"Yeah well she is pretty much is a natural for escaping. Like surviving in Elena." He raised an eyebrow. "She possessed Elena, I believe. I don't know what Bonnie did but she's gone now."

"Katerina Petrova always found a way to escape. I wouldn't be surprised if she found another way to escape your friend." Caroline shrugged. "How long did she put up with pretending to be the dopple-Elena?"

"A few days…after you and Rebekah left Mystic Falls. She pretended to be Elena at the party. I sort of figured out that something was off about her."

"You sure that your friend sent her to hell for good." Caroline rolled her eyes.

"Well as sure as I know. Because after Bonnie took care of Katherine, Elena was back to her old self. And she wasn't happy, with me especially. Not that anyone was really happy with me that night." She explained.

"Why would your friends be mad at you?" She bit her lip.

"I kind of confessed…to sleeping with you." Klaus shrugged.

"It's understandable seeing how your friends hate me. But shouldn't your friends still be there for you." She shook her head.

"Only Stefan and Matt really were. Damon was being an ass, and Enzo was just Enzo he really didn't know you so he didn't care just annoyed me about it." She said. Klaus looked at her as she stared out the window.

"I'm sorry," She turned to him.

"For what?"

"For putting you through all that." She shook her head.

"It wasn't your fault I made my choice." She sighed. "And I don't regret anything." Klaus looked at her. "I may have regrets of not feeling guilty only because at first I felt bad about not telling them. I think Tyler was the worse." Klaus's face hardened at the thought of Tyler.

"How did your mutt take it?" He asked. She gave him a look. "Tyler, take it." She shook her head.

"Not so well, he was really angry. I had hurt him. But he reacted probably the worse." She sighed. "I thought at one point he had lost it and was going to bite me, I think he would have if Stefan hadn't stepped in."

"He was going to bite you?" Klaus's hands gripped on the steering wheel.

"Stefan stopped him though. He was just drunk." Caroline said.

"And what if you were." Caroline sighed.

"Then I guess you would have had to come back." Klaus swallowed hard remembering his promise of never returning to Mystic Falls and forgetting about her. Even then he couldn't stop thinking about her. He had never been more happy to have her in New Orleans with him now. He had been chasing after her for so long, that now here she was with him. Even if she had to be kidnapped by the witches to come see him before deciding to stay with him. He didn't want her kidnapped or in danger because of him. But the witches such as Celeste had found out about her. He still hated the idea of anyone hurting her.

When they arrived Marcel was sitting with Davina and Camille. He looked up at them.

"Klaus," he said.

"I need to speak to Genevieve."

"Right here hybrid." Klaus and Caroline to her. She walked over to them. "Like I say, they always come crawling back." She smiled at Klaus. Caroline folded her arms across her chest.

"What do you know about this ring?" He asked handing it to her. She studied it for a moment before speaking.

"Ah the werewolf spell bound by the ring itself. I am surprised that you didn't know that. I could have sworn that your curse was bound by something."

"Like the moonstone?" Caroline asked. Genevieve glared at her.

"Yes, like the moonstone." She turned back to Klaus ignoring her presence.

"You will need a spell." Genevieve said. "I think I can get you the spell but it's going to cost you." She said.

"Name your price." Klaus said. She smirked and touched his arm to which Caroline gritted her teeth having the urge to rip it off.

"How about a nice dinner, my price is a date." She said seductively. Caroline felt empty and looked at Klaus waiting for his answer. She waited expectantly.

"How about something that doesn't result in rejection." Klaus said folding his arms across his chest. Caroline felt that she could breathe once again. Genevieve glared at him.

"Then I won't help you." Caroline glanced at Klaus. He still needed the information. She knew that Klaus, wouldn't cheat on her, at least not do anything other than dinner. It was Genevieve she didn't trust. She was about to speak when Klaus spoke.

"Very well then the answer is still no." He grasped the ring from her and turned away. Caroline noticed Genevieve anger through her eyes. She gave her a look. Caroline for once knew that she should stay close to Klaus. This witch clearly knew that there was something between Klaus and her, and she didn't like it. Caroline moved to Klaus as they exited the courtyard.

"Klaus, you could have gone on the date with her." Klaus turned to her.

"What?"

"Well I mean I trust you, and you need to find out that information. I mean it's important right." Klaus shook his head.

"You are important. And even if I wasn't with you, I wouldn't have agreed to that. I have no desire to be with that witch. She has always been a thorn at my side."

"But Klaus the information the spell." Klaus rolled his eyes.

"You didn't think that just because Genevieve wouldn't corporate, I didn't have a back plan. Trust me love, when you live as long as I have you always have one and there is always a loophole in everything." He said. "I am sure another witch could find the spell. It might take longer but I still think that they could."

"And if they can't?"

"Then I will track down Celeste knowing that she probably knows of the spell." Klaus said, he grabbed her hand and squeezed it in his. She smiled at him as they proceeded to walk back to the plantation. Normally Caroline had always been second choice. But with Klaus, she felt like first choice to him. And she always had been, even when she was with Tyler. She tried to not see the truth believing that Tyler would have been her last love. But in the end she was second best as well. To Klaus, she would always be first choice.
