Chapter 22

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

Tyler woke in a cell, he realized that he was in chains. He struggled to rip them off. He shook his head, he was filled with vervein and wolfsbane.

"Who are you?" He looked up at the woman before she touched his face and spoke one word in a language he hadn't heard before. That was the last thing that he remembered before everything went black.

Klaus, Caroline and Elijah were in the car driving to Bayou to check out the explosion. Caroline had this awful pit in her stomach. She was worried, about her friends back in Mystic Falls dealing with this warlock called Markos. If he could turn a vampire human, what could he do to the rest of them? She had thought that Silas was probably the worse they would ever meet at least when it came to Klaus. He was actually able to get into his head, and told of him being the first warlock and immortal. Clearly he wasn't the worse out of all of them. When they arrived in Bayou, Caroline could see Hayley standing there with the two males who she could sense were also werewolves. She followed Klaus and Elijah to where they stood while taking in her surroundings. She could see many werewolves that were wounded or moving bodies. She could still see smoke around, she could see a woman weeping over a body while some tried comforting her.

"Anything?" Elijah asked the man standing in front of him which she knew was Jackson. He shook his head.

"All we know is that it came from under the ground." He said. He glanced at Klaus. "Could you get a witch to help investigate what went on here?" Klaus glanced at Elijah before nodding.

"We will have to make a few calls seeing how Genevieve and Celeste were killed not too long ago." Klaus mumbled. He still was aggravated that Genevieve had turned on him. He never did like her that was for sure. For once his sister had been right. Before they had left though Klaus had grabbed the ring from her pocket. He pulled it out of his pocket, holding it out for them to see. "I took it from Genevieve after she was disposed of." Caroline studied the ring, it was gold with a red outline to it. The red was the color of blood.

"Well unless anyone wants to study underground and see if they can find anything then by all means. We haven't gone down there yet, afraid that we will be killed. But as we have seen I don't think Elijah can be killed perhaps he should go first." Jackson said with a smirk on his face. Elijah gave him a look. Caroline glanced at a werewolf behind them staring at her. She raised an eyebrow as he studied her. She was confused but he turned away helping his friends. Klaus put the ring back in his pocket and turned to Elijah.

"Shall we brother?" Elijah groaned but nodded and turned follow Jackson to the opening in the earth leading underground. Caroline turned to follow when Klaus stopped her. "Stay here," Caroline gave him look and folded her arms across her chest.

"Klaus-

"Caroline, there is a reason why Elijah and I are going down there. Because if there is anymore explosions we can't be killed. Remember love we are indestructible you are not." She glared at him.

"That doesn't mean I can't help." He glanced at Hayley.

"Watch over Hayley that will be enough help." He said and turned away to follow Elijah down into hole. Caroline glared after him.

"So what I am just a babysitter?" She muttered. She could hear his chuckle down there. She huffed in annoyance. But couldn't help but feel worried about him, she knew that he was indestructible, but what if something did happen or something else was down there. Hayley and Caroline glanced at one another clearly not really having anything to say. Oliver raised an eyebrow looking at either of them before smirking.

"Clearly there is some tension here. Should I be getting some popcorn will this be a cat fight or what?" He asked. Caroline and Hayley glared at him.

"Shut up!" They both said. Jackson rolled his eyes walking back over.

"Starting trouble again Oliver?" He shook his head.

"No, but they are going to. I am sure of it." Caroline flashed her fangs at him.

"Vampire girl is feisty." Caroline rolled her eyes. Someone touched her shoulder and she turned around preparing for a attack. But found that it had been the wolf that had been looking at her not too long ago.

"Caroline Forbes," He said. She raised an eyebrow.

"I'm sorry do I know you?" She asked.

"You're Tyler Lockwood's girl." Caroline swallowed hard. "He mentioned you in the Appalachians." He glanced to Hayley. "Hayley how have you been?" he asked.

"Pregnant." She muttered folding her arms across her chest.

"Was actually-

"Tell me what you're doing with Klaus Mikaelson of all people. Did he kidnap you?" Caroline bit her lip and shook her head getting agitated. Was Stefan one of the only people that could see that Klaus wouldn't do that to her of all people.

"No…he's…actually I am here because I want to be. I am helping him." He raised an eyebrow at her. Klaus and Caroline hadn't really discussed their status of relationship really, she wasn't sure if she could call him her boyfriend or not. Besides the fact that had been dating before she broke it off for what seemed like forever only two days before she confessed that she loved him. "Ah who are you?" She asked.

"Call me Shay,"

"Yeah, his real name is Seamus." Hayley said.

"You know I hate being called that." He grumbled. She nodded.

"I know." He rolled his eyes.

"Look Tyler was a friend, so if you ever need anything at all you can ask me." She nodded.

"How did you know that I was Caroline though?" She asked.

"I saw a picture of you, I wasn't sure but you confirmed it. How has he been by the way?" He asked.

"I wouldn't know haven't seen him in some time. We broke up actually almost five weeks ago. Last time I saw him he wasn't too happy." He nodded.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Well I have to go. But it was nice talking to you."

Klaus and Elijah examined the barriers of the tunnel that they were walking through underground.

"I see that Miss Forbes and you are back on friendly terms." Klaus glanced to Elijah as his roamed the wall of the tunnel trying to find anything that could have been used as a weapon of some sort.

"Yes well it had all been a misunderstanding it seems." Elijah nodded.

"I wanted to apologize for my harsh words on that night when you refused to grant Katerina freedom." Elijah said. 'It is such a hollow life you lead Niklaus.' Klaus glanced at him. "I should have never said that."

"You were right though," Klaus said. "In the beginning I had."

"With Miss Forbes, you seem much happier then you have ever been. Even when you were human. I am very happy for you brother." Klaus nodded, Elijah began to look at another side of the wall. "I had thought that the child would help our family. But I can see now that I was wrong, it was Miss Forbes that brought your humanity and hope back into this family again." Suddenly something flew pass them and landed on a wall. "Niklaus," Klaus and Elijah looked at one another before flashing away.

Outside Caroline, Hayley, and Jackson were being annoyed by Oliver with his not so funny jokes. Suddenly another the earth under their feet began to rumble before a burst from the ground. Caroline gasped, and Hayley cried out as the ground began break away revealing another underground tunnel. Caroline flashed to Hayley grabbed her and moving to the other side of the ground where it was more sturdy and did not collapse. Jackson and Oliver were on the other side of the crack. Caroline eyes widened.

"Klaus,"

He entered the room looking up upon the powerful warlock himself. He looked around the room taking in his surroundings. He had never been in such an abomination's body before. He felt disgusted by it.

"You sent for me Markos." He said.

"Yes," He didn't turn around as he spoke. "Julian I need you to bring a certain blonde vampire back." He looked at him confused.

"Why?"

"Because if she comes back then someone else will surely come back with her. Someone that fallen for that trap…that so called word love. He would follow her, I need him in order to complete a first act of in breaking this infernal curse. I have given you a body, go do this and we will work on getting your rightful body back." Markos muttered. "I suggest paying a visit to the sheriff, that should make her come running back." Tyler/Julian nodded before leaving the room in search of the Forbes residence.
