Chapter 18

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

"Genevieve said that Celeste should be around here." Elijah said. Klaus nodded. Klaus and Caroline followed behind him, but Elijah took one step when he cried out in pain. Klaus bent down to help his brother when a force hurriedly them back. Caroline noticed Celeste step out with another witch she grabbed Klaus and moved him away from the clearing seeing that Celeste was removing something from behind her back. Fear had creped up inside of her. Klaus shook his head.

"Let go of me, I have to help Elijah." She shook her head. Trying to make her focus on her.

"You can't help him," Suddenly Caroline grasped something in her hand. "And neither yourself." The white oak stake in her hand, she stabbed Klaus with it. He gave her a look before his face started to desiccate and turn grey.

"Why?" She backed away released the stake watching him burn. She looked down at the white oak stake in her hand with the blood dripping off it.

"Caroline, Caroline wake up."

Caroline gasped and scrambled up on the couch. She grasped someone's arms until her eyes met a pair of light blue ones. She stared at him feeling tears in her eyes.

"Caroline? Are you alright?" She shook her head.

"I killed you." Klaus raised an eyebrow.

"Good thing it was just a dream." Klaus tried to lighten the mood with a teasing smile. She bit her lip.

"What if it wasn't?" Klaus looked at her.

"Caroline, I trust you. I don't think you would ever betray me."

"But she said that I would-

"Love, Elijah told me about her, you heard him she lies." Klaus said. "She is a witch but like a siren because she lures men to her. Elijah happened to have been one of those men. If he hadn't used his cleverness he wouldn't have able to escape the seductress. She twists the mind around in her favor. It could just be another trick.

"Yeah but she still is very powerful." Caroline said. "The dream…"

"What about it?"

"It could be a premonition." She said.

"Sweetheart, you don't have the white oak stake and I know that at least of all things you won't kill me." She looked at him.

"So you still think I will hit you or something?" Klaus smirked.

"Very much so. In order to keep me in check perhaps." She rolled her eyes.

"You trust me?" Klaus nodded.

"Of course." Caroline buried her face in his chest. Sometimes Klaus could be sweet when he wanted to be. Always had showed his humanity towards her most of the time. Klaus wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer to him rubbing her back. She sighed. But Caroline, still had a feeling in the pit of her stomach that perhaps somehow she would betray him. And the feeling scared her.

Caroline was going through her texts on her phone. Stefan was keeping her updated in Mystic Falls most of the time. Caroline grabbed the pen and notebook and placed it on the dresser when she watched the pen shape into the white oak stake. She gasped and dropped it.

"Are you alright miss Caroline?" Caroline jumped hearing Elijah's voice from the doorway. She nodded and grasped the pen in her hand placing it on the dresser.

"Yes, couldn't be better." She lied. Elijah studied her for a moment.

"If you don't mind me saying, but you don't seem alright." Caroline understood that Elena trusted Elijah and he was the easiest to get along with at first but at the same time Caroline actually found Elijah much more scary then Klaus. Perhaps that was because she had feelings for Klaus and he had always shown a softer more human side. It would be lucky if she got a glimpse of his hybrid face or anger. But he always concealed that side of her. She had seen Elijah rip hearts out before and to her that was scarier.

"I am just cleaning,"

"A little too much I must say. Seeing how it hadn't been dirty what's so ever." Elijah said. When Caroline was stressed or worried she would clean. She was surprised that Elijah could figure it out, seeing how he really didn't know her that well like her friends. But then again he is an original and perhaps he just reads their faces or something or studies body language. "Please tell you are not taking what that she devil Laelia said to heart." Caroline sighed.

"Look I know you don't believe it, but that doesn't mean I don't. She's a witch and a powerful one. Bonnie predicted a murder once and it happened." She explained. Elijah shook his head.

"Are you saying that you would betray my brother?"

"No!" She turned to him quickly. "I don't think I would betray him, at least not on purpose no. But I could betray him by accident perhaps." Elijah entered the room and shook his head. "Last night I dreamt that I had the white oak stake and I killed him."

"I don't think that you would do it. It's probably just the witch messing you're your mind."

"But it seemed so real." She turned away.

"Laelia just wants to get to you." Elijah told her. "That's what she does, she twists the mind into believing what she wants them to believe. And your letting her win. Don't let her win Miss Caroline." She swallowed hard.

"Alright,"

Caroline, Klaus, and Elijah were heading back to the courtyard, Davina and Genevieve were there. They looked as if they were arguing. Davina scoffed and stormed off. Genevieve glared at them as they approached no doubt not forgetting how Klaus had rejected her, and she was sure that it had everything to do with the blonde baby vampire that was with them.

"Back so soon?"

"Not for you, though." Elijah said. She glared at him. Klaus moved to find Marcel along with Elijah while Caroline sat and waited.

"So who are you again?" Genevieve asked. Caroline glared at her and folded her arms across her chest.

"Caroline Forbes,"

"And what's the deal between you and the originals?" She asked.

"Were old friends." It was true they were kind of seeing how they had been in Mystic Falls for about a year or two.

"Really? And what do you think of Klaus?" She asked.

"He's a hybrid that kills for pleasure." A lie. Caroline could see the true person that he was. She knew that it wasn't really for pleasure it was more to make others feel the pain that he felt. At least whoever was the one to strike him.

"Right." Genevieve said.

"Leave her alone Genevieve." Caroline turned to the young witch who look a year or two younger than her. Genevieve just rolled her eyes.

"Whatever," She snapped and left.

"Hi, I'm Davina Claire by the way." Caroline nodded.

"Caroline Forbes," She nodded.

"Camille talked about you briefly."

"So are you really friends with Klaus?" She asked. Caroline shrugged.

"Ah kind of. You could say that."

"I don't trust him only because he killed the first guy that I liked." She shook her head. Caroline nodded.

"Yeah, well I went through something like that. But he didn't kill him. It's complicated how we came together but we did." Caroline said. She nodded. Caroline and Davina ended up talking for the reminder of the time together. When Davina's bracelet fall off. Both reached to pick it up when Davina touched Caroline's skin. Davina had already known that Caroline was a vampire, but that's when she saw the vision.

"You betray Klaus…" Caroline eyes widened. "But- She shook her head. Caroline stood and flashed away fear grew inside her more. Davina swallowed hard. She didn't let her finish. She shouldn't have said anything because now the fate was set in motion.

Caroline grabbed the things that she had and put them away in her small bag that she had brought. Not like she had a lot. She couldn't be here any longer if the fate was true that she would betray him then she couldn't face that. She would have to protect him from her. Caroline was preparing to leave a note when the wind shifted and she turned to find Klaus standing there.

"Love?" She swallowed hard. She straitened up and moved past him.

"I'm leaving, I'm going back to Mystic Falls." Klaus shook his head confused.

"Caroline, please tell me this isn't because of you worrying that you will betray me?" Caroline shook her head. She could see that he wasn't going to let her go or keep this up.

"No, this is about us…" Klaus looked at her. Her jaw clenched. She didn't want to do it but she also knew that she didn't want to be his betrayer in the end. Especially if that end had anything to do with his death. "I don't think this is going to work."

"Caroline,"

"It's not you, it's me. I think it's best if we just take a break. I want to see my mom. And this would be a good time to." Klaus grabbed her by the arm.

"If you're going to end this then tell me the truth." She looked at him fighting every fiber in her body to keep herself from losing and going back into his arms. "Tell me you don't have the same feelings as I do for you, you admitted them not to long ago."

"Key word long ago." She hissed. She composed herself. You can do it Caroline. She told herself. Just until this passes. You are doing it to protect him. She thought. "My feelings for you are gone. I don't have any feelings for you anymore. And I never will." And with that she turned away leaving him with her false confession.

Notes: So here is another chapter. So Caroline broke off the relationship with Klaus. I know sad. But don't worry guys it won't be for good and that long. What did Davina have to tell Caroline before she had already raced off. Review please.
