Hey guys so here chapter 4. I'm really excited for this chapter because Caroline and Camille will get to meet. Anyways, here is chapter 4!

Caroline was lying down in bed staring at the ceiling. Klaus had told Caroline about everything that was happening in New Orleans. Some guy named Lucien is reeking havoc in the city and Klaus needs to stop him. He also told Caroline that he was with a bartender named Camille.

Caroline had ignored the twisting in her stomach and smiled at him telling Klaus that she was happy for him. She didn't know why she felt like that. Klaus wasn't with her. He never was. They slept together once. Klaus was going to live forever, she couldn't really expect him to actually wait forever for her.

She rolled to her side. If New Orleans was really as dangerous as Klaus told her it was then she definitely couldn't stay. She would leave tomorrow morning. Go to Mystic Falls spend some time there and then just travel. She hadn't lived her life for two years. She wanted to see the world. For years she saw nothing but the darkness of that cell. Now she wanted to see light.

She wanted to feel free.

Caroline closed her eyes and welcomed sleep.

Klaus was lying down on his bed staring at the ceiling. He had told Caroline everything that was happening in New Orleans. It was incredibly dangerous here. He couldn't let Caroline stay. She had already been kidnapped because of him, he wasn't about to let her potentially die because of him. And this time it would be real death.

But then why did a selfish part of him want her to stay? Why did he want to keep her here and never let her go?

Klaus turned to his side. No he couldn't to that to her. He had to let her go. He couldn't feel that way about her. He's with Camille.

Klaus felt like he needed to protect Caroline and this was the only way he could. Even if it killed him to let her go again. Again. Hmm. No. This time he wouldn't fail. He will protect her with his life. She will stay in New Orleans.

Klaus closed his eyes and welcomed sleep.

Caroline woke up and got ready for her day. She showered and put on a light pink flowered dress with light brown sandals that Klaus gave her. Since she didn't have any of her stuff here, Klaus gave her some of Rebekah's. She opened the door to her room and made her way down the stairs to the kitchen.

"Good morning, love," Caroline turned to face the hybrid. She wasn't planing on telling him that she was leaving yet and wasn't sure how he would react. "Hey," she replied. "So how did you sleep?" This was most definitely a conversation that she never expected to have. "Klaus I'm leaving."

Klaus immediately tensed. "What?" He looked at her with a blank expression.

"I'm leaving I have to. I cant stay here Klaus its too dangerous." Klaus stepped forward moving closer to Caroline "I'll protect you" he promised. "I wont let anything happen to you." She shook her head. "Klaus I can't. You have your life and I have my own. You have other things to worry about besides my safety I can take care of myself." Klaus cupped Caroline fan in his hands.

"I won't let anything happen to you. I promise you." Caroline slowly nodded her head.

"Fine, I'll stay with you." With you. Klaus left his hands around her face. They just stayed together staring at each others eyes.

They were interrupted by the sound of the front door being closed and someone screaming his name repeatedly.

"Klaus!" Caroline frowned expecting it to be Rebekah or Hayley but she didn't recognize the voice. Klaus pulled away from her and faced to front door.

"Oh there you are I've been texting and looking for you. Who's this." Caroline looked the woman standing in front of her up and down. She had shoulder length blonde hair. She had green eyes and was wearing a pair of jeans with a light purple top and a denim jacket. She looked like a future Caroline had she not died and stopped aging.

Caroline stepped forward holding her hand out. "I'm Caroline." She eyes widened slowly and she began drinking her in. She shook Caroline's hand. "I'm Camille. Klaus girlfriend." Caroline knew that she was warning to back off of Klaus without actually saying the words.

Camille walked forward and placed a quick kiss on Klaus' lips. Caroline had to fight the urge to roll her eyes. Klaus wasn't with her. He was with Camille. Camille turned to look at Caroline.

"So how long are you staying?" Camille crossed her hands over her chest. Caroline shrugged "I don't know. Ask your boyfriend." Caroline copied her stance and crossed her arms over her chest while smirking. She knew she was being petty and a little bitchy but she couldn't help it. Something about that girl just got on her nerves.

Camille's mouth dropped slightly and Klaus looked incredibly uncomfortable. "Well I have to go to work. I just wanted to stop and say hi. I'll talk to you later Klaus."

She turned and gave Klaus one more kiss before turning on her heel and walking out the door. Caroline walked around Klaus and made her way up the stairs.

"What was that about,love." she stopped in her tracks.

She turned to face Klaus. "Nothing."

Klaus tilted his head to the side. "Are you sure? You seemed a little jealous." he had to audacity to give her that playful smirk.

Caroline scoffed. " I'm not jealous."

He nodded his head before turning around and heading to the door. "Sure you're not love." he called over his shoulder.

She rolled her eyes. "I"m not." Well maybe just a little bit.
