Chapter 16

Caroline was standing outside Elena's house. She knew that she would have to tell them all about where she'd been and why she had even begun to feel anything for Klaus, the big bad wolf of Mystic Falls, but where was she supposed to start? What could she say, that he had suddenly become this new man all for her in a matter of days? That he wasn't going to cause anyone any more harm, that he was saved and everything was okay now? He was forgiven? Because that wasn't true. She knew that he would still feed on people, he would still do almost whatever he wanted to do, he wasn't just going to become a saint for Caroline, but who was?

No one that she knew was a saint, especially in Mystic Falls; everyone had done wrong at some point. Elena had lied and betrayed Damon before, but now look at them, they were obviously working to keep themselves away from each other twenty-four seven. Tyler and Matt sure had their fair share of debts to pay, and there wasn't even a need to start mentioning Damon and Stefan aka the Ripper. Everyone had been forgiven, even Katherine on some terms, so why shouldn't they try to work to forgive Klaus? It would take longer, but it could be done…couldn't it?

"Screw it," Caroline figured that she was thinking about it too much, so she got it over with and knocked on Elena's door. There was a moment when she thought that maybe no one was there, a good excuse for her to start walking away and go back to Klaus' mansion where he would be waiting for her, but just as she started to turn back the door opened. Caroline turned around to find an awe-struck Elena, only a split second before she started running over to wrap her arms around Caroline.

"Oh my god Caroline, where have you been?" Elena pulled away to look at Caroline, keeping her hands on her shoulders and almost letting Caroline reply before turning back to the house and calling for Bonnie. "Caroline's back!" She turned back to face Caroline and tugged her away from the driveway back towards Bonnie, who hugged her just as soon as Caroline reached the steps of the porch.

"You know, I can't stay for too long, I have to go see my mom, I just came to tell you that I've been okay and everything, I just had to-"

"Caroline," Elena interrupted, and Caroline realized that she was talking way too fast, trying to give excuses that would sound the farthest away from "I can only stay long, because I can't think about anything besides getting back to Klaus so that I can hug him again, and kiss him again, and-

"Calm down, you sound like you're hyperventilating," Elena said,

"Right." Caroline followed them inside and sat down with them on the couch, "Look you guys, there's something I have to tell you,"

"Yeah, tons! Where were you? Are you okay, I mean Klaus didn't take you did he? Because he's been gone too," Elena said his name as if it were the name of the devil, and her face turned angry, which really didn't do anything for Caroline's nerves.

"That's actually what I'm here to talk to you guys about, umm-"

"I knew it! What did he do, Caroline, I can fight him again, I'm stronger now, I don't care who he thinks he is,-"

"Bonnie!" Caroline knew now why Elena had told her to calm down, Bonnie sounded just as hectic as she did when she arrived, "It's nothing like that. It's actually, well you guys are gonna hate me for this, but...I sort of...like him." There was a silence in the room.

"Um...what?" Bonnie was looking at her like she was insane. Caroline thought as first that telling the entire truth was coming on too strong, but she realized that if she didn't, the same reaction would just be prolonged. "Shit," she whispered to herself, "Okay you know what, I don't like him. I love him you guys, and I know that you're gonna think that I'm crazy like your faces already give away, but if you would just see what I see in him, you'd be amazed, and maybe you would start to understand that he's not exactly who everyone thinks he is, I mean yes, he's evil, but he's also...well he's not and it's just this confusing blob of emotions right now, and I don't know how to explain it so that you understand but I just had to say it, so there. I said it. I love Klaus. I love him," Oh my god, I love him," she thought to herself. Elena and Bonnie had sat back, mouths open and eyes wide. Caroline said everything so fast, and after a brief moment of silence, which almost gave Caroline hope, they spoke.

"Caroline, are you okay? What did he do to you? Bonnie can probably do some sort of spell to help because this is just not natural," Elena said,

"Yeah, seriously. I'm already thinking of one, this is just-" Bonnie and Elena started talking at the same time, going wild with thoughts and trying to figure out what was going on,

"You guys," Caroline silenced them, "he didn't do anything, I'm fine. I mean he did do things, but they were good things, no spells or anything like that."

"How do you know, Caroline?" Bonnie obviously was not taking this as well as Caroline had hoped, "Caroline, he almost sacrificed you. He killed Jenna, he sired Tyler, he almost killed Jeremy and pretty much everyone else we know, so what's going on?" Bonnie and Elena were giving her the same look, like she was defending genocide or something.

Caroline took a breath and realized that this was going to take a while for them to get used to, "I don't know, you guys, if you would have just seen what he's done lately and heard Mags,"

"Who is Mags?" Elena interrupted, looking even more confused.

"She's-" Caroline was intercepted by Damon bursting in, blood on his hands and shirt, a look in his eyes like he was seriously pissed off and worried at the same time.

"He has Liz, Elena." And that's when he realized Caroline was in the room, "Caroline, you're back. Wait, okay what the hell is going on? Does she know?" Damon was looking at Elena and Caroline was more confused than ever. She looked back at Elena with expectation of a fast and clear explanation,

"Well I was going to tell you, but then you came in and dropped this bomb on us, what was I supposed to do, interrupt you while you were talking about falling in love with Klaus?"

"Whoa, what?" Damon walked over and the simultaneous talking between him, Elena, and Bonnie began again for a short moment before Caroline yelled to quiet them,

"You guys!" They all looked at Caroline, "What the hell is going on? Who has my mom?" Caroline was so angry that her eyes were starting to turn, but tears were starting to well up in her eyes at the same time,

"Kol has been acting really weird lately especially with you and Klaus gone, and I guess now," Bonnie couldn't finish before Caroline was out the door.

Damon just looked at Elena and she shrugged, letting him know that she had no more clue as to what was going on than he did, "Why do you have blood on your hands?" she asked him,

"There was blood at Liz's house, it's not mine," He sighed, "as if things couldn't get any weirder," Damon sat down next to Elena creating a space between her and Bonnie who rolled her eyes but didn't seem to care.

"Well," Elena said to Damon, and he knew her well enough so that he didn't even have to ask,

"Oh are you kidding me? She can handle it, can't she?"

"Damon! It's Caroline," Elena looked at him and grabbed her shoulder, knowing that he would help whether she urged him on or not,

"Ugh, fine. Let's go." He said, and after quickly cleaning off his hands and talking with Bonnie about what to do, they left, knowing exactly where to go.

Klaus was pacing his room, worrying about Caroline and how everything was going. He had lots to work through, with all of his hybrids and Tyler and his siblings, especially Kol, where was he anyway? No one was home, and he could only become suspicious. He hadn't noticed since all he could think about was Caroline, but know he was starting to worry. He would have thought more about it if the doorbell hadn't rung, interrupting his thoughts.

If you want to see Caroline at the door, read below (Ending 16A). If not, skip this section and move on to the small section below it (Ending 16B). Enjoy!

He flashed downstairs, leaving Kol at the back of his mind, caring only to take Caroline in his arms again. He never felt the way he did with Caroline before, not even with Tatia. The way that he missed her after only hours, only minutes, concerned him, but he couldn't help it. He couldn't go long at all without becoming restless with the thought of the emptiness that surrounded him without her in his arms. He was about to change that. He would change it right now. He opened the door and gave her no chance for her to speak, instead he took her in her arms and kissed her passionately. She would have pulled away to tell him what was going on, but she just needed his arms around her and his lips against hers for just a moment. Klaus pulled away he let the image of her standing in front of him sink in. Her face had an incredibly worried look on it, and she had tears running down her face. He looked at her and saw her in front of him, eyes closed and tears staining her cheeks. He wiped her tears away and felt his heart drop along with hers,

"It's okay, Caroline, they'll come around. Even if they don't, we don't have to stay here, we could travel the world together, as long as you're with me we could do anything, we could do everything, love." He was stroking her cheek and realized then that he would leave it all behind just to keep her by his side. She could light up his entire world, and he was finally ready to let her.

"Klaus," Caroline tried to get his attention, flattered that he was saying such lovely things, but too focused on saving her mom to address it right now. "It's not about Elena," Klaus got that same worried feeling in his stomach again,

"What is it, sweetheart, what's wrong?" He took her hands in his and looked at her with pure love.

"It's Kol, Klaus, he has my mom. I have to go save her, I have to do something, Klaus-" She had broken down, and she was gripping his hand, trying to make him understand, make him help her or something, anything. She didn't know what to do. Klaus interrupted her with a hug, fighting the side of him that was full of rage for Kol and wanted to just find him to rip out his liver.

"It's okay, Caroline. Hey, look at me," he gently wiped away another tear and brought her eyes up to his, "We'll get her back. I won't let anything happen, love, I swear it." He grabbed her hand, knowing that there was no way he would be able to convince her to stay behind, and he went off with her into the woods, knowing exactly where Kol would be...

He practically ran downstairs, a smile plastered onto his face, waiting to take Caroline in his arms again, but his smile soon changed when he was shocked to see the girl at his door…

"Elena?"
