Hello! I'm trying to update asap. Thank you for all the reviews! They really encouraged me! :D
PM me if there's anything you would like to see happen, and I'll try to add it! :)
And also, the facts are a little unclear. In the sense, I'm not keeping to the story, per se. To add a little bit of my imagination, some events occur that are not so on the show. But please don't mind, and enjoy!

CHAPTER 4

Klaus and Caroline had spent the past few hours doing what Klaus had originally wanted, getting to know each other. Caroline was finally taking a chance, he realized.

It was now three and they were about to reach the Salvatores' in a matter of minutes.

"It's a little scary, you know."

"What is, Caroline?"

"The fact that we were attacked. That too, Damon and I were. Everything seemed calm for the past few days. Guess that was the just eye of the storm." Caroline sighed.

"Or this is the final blow, after which everything will be calm forever." Klaus immediately wanted to take this back. It had been a lame attempt at cheering her up and he knew it. He waited for her reply to come as he knew it would.

"Even if we get rid of these vampires, there is no 'peace', Klaus. You will still want my best friend's blood. You will still be responsible for Tyler and me going through all of this. And you will still be here." Although Klaus knew this was what awaited him, it still angered him. He did not take arguments well.

"That is no way to talk to your savior, Caroline."

"Excuse me? So you saved me just so you could rub it in my face later, just so you could blackmail me into doing whatever you wanted later?" This, they both thought, was beyond the belt.

"Enough."

"Wh—"

"I said enough!" Klaus yelled. Caroline was taken aback. They had reached, and she stepped out of the vehicle. Without waiting for Klaus, she rang the bell. By the time Elena opened the door, Klaus was standing right beside her.

"How are you two here together?" Caroline opened her mouth to answer but Klaus interrupted her.

"Let's just get started with the damn meeting already."

They seated themselves in the living room. Bonnie, Matt and Damon were already there.

"So, what exactly is happening?" Bonnie asked, puzzled. They had waited for Klaus and Caroline to start so Bonnie didn't know.

"Well, Elena, Blondie, quarterback and I had been out in the forest last night when a couple of vampires attacked us."

"So? Maybe they thought you were human and they could feed on you."

"That's the thing" Elena continued. "Matt was able to escape. It isn't very likely that a human outruns a vampire. And they weren't just there randomly, they had a motive. They harmed only Damon and Caroline, not me."

"Maybe they're here because you are the doppelganger. They want something from you." Klaus said.

Matt suddenly perked. "Well, maybe we can set a trap. We can lure them into coming to us and with the help of Klaus, Damon, Caroline and Bonnie, we'll be able to catch at least one to extract information."

Nobody had noticed Caroline stay quiet. "And how do you suppose we lure them?"

"We can set up bait." Elena responded. "But it's tricky. And who'll go?"

"I will." Caroline herself didn't know where this had come from. "Seriously, guys" She answered to their questioning looks "What have I to lose?" Everyone was shocked.

Klaus glared at her. He didn't know why he didn't like this idea. Bonnie couldn't have gone; she was definitely needed for spells. Elena? No way. She was THE doppelganger. Matt was human, he would've been killed instantly. And if he or Damon would've gone, he doubted anyone would have come to kidnap them. Caroline was the fittest choice. Then why wasn't he okay with it?

"If Caroline goes as bait, I will go as her protector." Klaus was fully aware of the awe this was going to generate in the room, but surprisingly, he didn't care. And Caroline just liked the sound of 'protector'.

"Umm, okay. Klaus and I will be at the woods at 9 o' clock. Elena, Matt and Bonnie, you will be here and Caroline will reach the forest at 9:30, once Klaus and I have, what's the word for it, 'set up shop'." Everyone nodded in agreement and began scrambling around, preparing for the following night's events.

At 9:30pm sharp, Caroline was standing outside of the forest. She gulped, and entered. Was this a dumb idea? Of course it was! Are you trying to get yourself killed? If it means Klaus saves me again. Do you know exactly how SAD that sounds?

Caroline didn't get time to finish the argument with herself. She had been walking for God knows how long. What was even the time? She hadn't brought her cellphone. Well that's a dumb thing to do, she thought.

Suddenly, she saw a flash ahead of her. Her mind soon was imagining the worst case scenarios. It could be a vampire. Worse, it could be a werewolf. It could kill me. Oh, where is Klaus? Caroline was terrified, and apparently her face betrayed her.

"I'm right here, love." It had been Klaus. He was the one who'd just gone swooshing by.

"Klaus? Why are you showing yourself?"

"It's 10:30. I don't think they're coming. And I guess I gave you a little scare, sorry about that. Damon and I have been following you since you entered, I just happened to wander too close."

"So this is it, then? Our plan failed?"

"Seems like it, since they didn't attack. But I wouldn't call it a failure if it means you remain in one piece." Caroline chuckled and mentally blushed at the same time as they headed to his car.

"I'll drop you home, love."

"Okay."

They reached the car and sat inside.

"It wasn't the wisest of ideas, you know."

"I know", Caroline sighed, "it seemed pretty good at the moment." The rest of the car journey was spent in silence.

Soon, they arrived at Caroline's house. Sherriff Forbes wasn't at home that night, she had had a meeting which ended late and so she had stayed at the office. Caroline thanked Klaus and unlocked her house. Klaus had almost seated himself in the car when he heard her.

"OH MY GOD!"

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" He yelled, running.

Klaus entered the house and was faced with the same horrific scene that Caroline had been a few minutes earlier.

Her entire house was a mess. The paintings were torn apart, tapestry ruined and all the things strewn around. They had been looking for something and by the looks of it, they'd found it.
