Hey guys, so this is it. The chapter I've been itching for you guys to read ever since I wrote it. I hope you like it!

After a few hours, Caroline knew it was time. The sun was setting, and tonight was the full moon.

"Umm, Klaus?" she asked tentatively, her voice breaking the lingering silence between them. "I just wanted to say that thank you. For saving me, for killing all those hybrids for me-" she was babbling, trying to tell him how she felt, too distracted to notice Klaus drawing near her, his face less than a few centimetre away. Her words were cut off as Klaus pressed his lids against her.

Before Caroline's mind could even accept it, he had withdrew, his eyes downcast. "I'll be going now" he said, the tone of his voice flat.

He moved to leave, his steps taking the first steps away from her as she grabbed his wrist. Without saying anything, she swiftly kissed him. She could sense his surprise, he had expected rejection, never expected her to want him. At first he was tentative, his lips gentle against her. Caroline knew deep down that she shouldn't be doing this, that this would ruin the weird friendship that had developed between them, the unspoken bond of trust between them. She had to know, or she would spend decades regretting this moment.

That all changed the moment when Klaus realised what was happening, when he started kissing her back. He held her like she was the most precious thing in the world, his arms wrapped around her. She could feel her heartbeat increasing, loving the feel of her body against him, the heat that spread between them. Suddenly, Caroline wanted more, to forget where she began and he ended.

She pressed herself close to him, using her strength to push him against a nearby tree. Klaus tasted of heat, of pain and joy, and everything that she had ever wanted, all wrapped up in one. It was addictive. Her fingers wrapped in his curls, causing him to gasp. She smiled, her lips still against him, her teeth grazing his lips. She could feel the shiver that spread through him as her lips moved against his neck, lightly grazing the stubble on his neck. She could feel his heart beat even faster when there was less than a millimetre separating their bodies.

Forget kissing him in Tyler's body, this was entirely different, like when two live wires met, causing a blinding flash of electricity that could destroy both of them. She didn't care that she was supposed to hate him, that he was her enemy. She was simply revelling in the fact that she could do anything, be anything, as long as he was by her side.

The kiss ended with them still pressed together, both panting. She noticed that her hand had slid into his, but didn't dare move it. She wanted to stay in this moment with him forever. Klaus, for his part, seemed lost for words, staring at her like she was the only being in existence. She grinned, noticing that his hair was ruffled and his shirt askew. It made him look so young, so different from the distant and ancient creature she had always known him to be.

A rustle nearby brought them back to the world. Klaus instantly sprang back into defensive mode, his body taut, eyes flaring yellow. They heard footsteps: more than one person was nearby. Heartbeats, too slow to be human, surrounded them. Suddenly, a new noise began. Clapping? Caroline thought.

Suddenly a man appeared from behind a tree. Tyler. He was still clapping, a sarcastic smile on his face.

"What a wonderful performance Caroline, you deserve a standing ovation. I didn't know you were such a brilliant actress, had us all fooled. I bet Klaus actually believed it."

They were completely surrounded. Hybrids and werewolves surrounded them in a tight circle.

"You know, we couldn't have done this without you, Caroline. We owe you a lot" Tyler was still talking, his eyes fixed on her.

"Shut the hell up, Tyler" she hissed.

"Now, that's not a very nice thing to say to your boyfriend is it?" he replied, a twisted smirk on his face. "And if I were you, I'd be a bit nicer. You see, it's the full moon tonight, and my werewolf friends will be turning any minute now. I can control them, but only if you shut the hell up."

He gestured to Klaus. "Bind him" he said to a woman standing nearby. She was neither witch nor hybrid, her blood was thick with magic. A witch, probably a Bennett witch. She muttered some words that Caroline couldn't understand and slashed her hand with a knife.

Suddenly Klaus screamed, his eyes glowed yellow before he collapsed, his skin turning grey.

Tyler stood next to him, smiling. "You know, I got this idea from you. Having a witch around is so handy. It took us weeks to find the spell, but when we did, I knew we had you. Knew you couldn't resist rescuing Caroline, so we placed a tracking spell on her. We knew where you were all along."

"It helped, of course that she had already pretended to be interested in you. What, surprised?" Tyler said, more rambling to himself than anyone else. "You don't think that she'd ever be interested in you, you filthy Original piece of crap?"

Caroline, knowing that Tyler was distracted, was slowly moving away, towards the witch. All eyes were on Tyler, the hybrids and werewolves alike grinning as their new leader took his rightful place over the Original who had turned them and controlled them.

"Hey, Tyler" Caroline called. "You're so dumped" she said. Tyler stared back at her, eyes widening as she grabbed hold of his witch, her fangs extended. She ripped her teeth into the witches' neck, killing her instantly.

As if Caroline had set off a grenade, all hell broke loose.

Five hybrids jumped on to her. She hit one in the face, kicked one in the chest, until the remaining three tackled her to the ground. She was screaming, kicking, biting, anything to get free. The werewolves of the group started screaming as the moon rose, their bones cracking and eyes flaring yellow.

Caroline knew that she was about to die. Tyler was probably going to rip her heart out, or worse.

"You bitch!" Tyler screamed. He stalked towards her, face twisted with anger. "You have no idea what you've done!" he yelled.

"Oh yes, I do" Caroline smirked. One hybrid fell, its heart torn out, two, three. Caroline twirled with unnatural strength, breaking the neck of one hybrid, the other two fled off into the woods.

Klaus was a killing machine, slaying the werewolves before they turned, throwing their hearts to the ground. Tyler, watching his plan failed, was trying to escape. "Oh no you don't" Klaus whispered.

He slammed his fist into Tyler's chest. "Don't" Caroline yelled. Klaus didn't even look at her, too focused on ridding himself of this stupid boy who called himself alpha.

"Do it and it will be war. Do you want that?" she cried. Klaus, realising the truth in her words, let go of Tyler. "If I ever see you again, it will be the last thing you ever do, understand?" he whispered, his voice cutting. Tyler didn't reply, glaring at him as he lay helpless. "Get out of here before I change my mind" Klaus said. In a blur, Tyler left, taking with him the remainders of his group.

Silence fell. Caroline could sense Klaus's anger, threatening to boil over.

Klaus didn't even look at her, his whole face was twisted with anger. "Klaus…." Caroline whispered.

In a blur, Klaus was right in front of her. "What is it Caroline?" he asked, head slightly tilted, eyes hard and cold. "Are you going to apologise? No, why would you, according to you, I'm a monster. Think I don't know that? Think that some days I can't even look at myself in the mirror?" he laughed cruelly. "It's better than being like you, Caroline Forbes, the girl who pretends to be so high and mighty, to be so innocent, when really you're just as bloodthirsty and cruel as the rest of us."

He stared into her eyes, pupils dilating, voice dark and hypnotising. "I don't care if you're on vervain or not. Come near me again and I will rip your heart out. Now get out of here" he hissed.

Caroline fled, tears streaming down her eyes, leaving nothing but a slight breeze that rippled through the trees.
