Previously on I've Been Roaming Around:
"Give me a reason." He firmly whispered as he kissed her neck. "Tell me you don't want me, tell me you don't want this and I will walk out that door and never come back."
He moved to the other side of her neck and placed soft kisses on it.
"I-I don't want you, I-I don't want this." A sigh escaped her lips as she tilted her head back.
He pulled his face away from her and looked down at her. "I don't believe you."
"I don't want you! And I don't want this!" She yelled.
"Are you completely sure about that?"
She firmly nodded.
"Are you one hundred percent sure?"
She nodded again.
He nodded and slightly turned. "Alright, but if I walk out that door, I'm never coming back."
She looked at him, her eyes cold, as well as her voice. "Fine, go. Leave, I don't want you to come back!"
He nodded. "Alright. Goodbye Caroline."
He turned and sauntered toward the door, turning the knob, he glanced back at her half way out the door before fully walking out. She stood unmoving, stubborn.
….
A loud knock the door had Caroline shoot up from the couch. She glanced at the clock, eleven-thirty. Who knocks at someone's door at eleven-thirty at night? Her first thought was Jeremy? But no, he was asleep in the guest room. Caroline walked over to the door and glanced out the side window.
"What the-"
She opened the door.
"Ethan? What are you doing here?"
A devilish smile spread across his face, which made something in Caroline shift.
"Nope, guess again."
Her eyes grew wide. She had seen that smile before, it felt like years ago. Her breath caught in her throat, he was evil, pure evil.
"Klaus?"
The devilish smile appeared on his lips again. Fear struck her. Jeremy. Save Jeremy. She tried to close the door but his strength was too strong. He stepped in and swiftly walked towards Caroline. Right, she had invited him-Ethan-in when they had gone on their date. As Caroline backed away from him she hit the entryway table and knocked over the lamp. The sound of it crashing to the floor would surely wake Jeremy. And soon enough she heard the guest room door open, and his groggy voice soon followed.
"Caroli-"
"Go back to bed Jeremy."
"Care-"
"Go."
He didn't move. Klaus' movement was so quick that Caroline didn't even have time to blink. He had her pinned against the wall, his hands pinned her own hands above her head, as he moved his face to her neck. Caroline turned her face away from him.
"Jeremy! Get out of here."
"Caroline."
"I said GO!" She yelled.
Jeremy stumbled backwards before turning and running out the door. He ran to the car before fumbling with the door handle. He let out an aggravated grunt, before getting his phone out of his pocket. He dialed the same number he had only three weeks ago.
"Jeremy?"
"Stefan! You need to get here now!"
"Why? What's wrong?" His voice sounding worried.
"It's Caroline, Ethan-Klaus is back and-and. Oh god, she told me to leave and I did and he's got her, he's got Caroline."
Horror struck him. Caroline, his Caroline was in danger. Klaus? Klaus was there. He would kill him, he would torture him. First he had to save the girl that he's always loved, and always will, for all eternity.
"I'm on my way."
The line went dead and Jeremy knew that Stefan would be there soon.
...
"Do you know how easy it was to meander my way back into your life?" He questioned, his British accent coming through.
"Why are you here?"
"To finish off what you started."
"What I started?"
"Precisely."
He ran his hand up her body and inhaled her scent.
"You're scared. I can smell it."
"Of course I'm-"
Her sentence was cut short when Klaus wrapped his hand around her neck.
"Stop talking." He ordered.
"Let go of me." Caroline croaked. Her throat was closing.
"You're not as strong as I thought you were." He teased.
"I am."
"Prove it." The devilish smile from before was now reappearing.
Caroline growled. "Watch me."
With that, she brought her legs up to her stomach and kicked him backward. Klaus went flying through the air and collided with the opposite wall. She was out of his choke hold and fell to the floor gasping for air. Standing on two feet, finally able to breathe, Caroline prepared herself for his attack. She watched as he stood and in a blur he ran towards her, she blinked waiting for him to collide with her but he didn't. She felt the wind of someone rush in front of her, and then the sound of body-connecting-with-wall. She opened her eyes and saw Stefan, eyes dark, mouth open with fangs contracted.
He growled, "Klaus."
Klaus stood again, brushing off his hands. "Stefan Salvatore." He stepped towards them. "I thought you were dead. You know, considering how truly saddened you were after everything that happened with Elena."
Stefan charged at him, growling as he pinned Klaus against the wall.
"Don't bring her up."
"Why? Still hurting?"
Stefan didn't answer.
"I'll take that as a yes." He glanced at Caroline and then back at Stefan. "It's a shame really. Because she," He pointed to Caroline. "is really into you. However, I get the feeling that you're still not over your dead girlfriend. Wait, correction, ex-girlfriend. She chose your brother after all, didn't she?"
Stefan shoved him into the wall. "Shut up." He growled his voice low.
"After all those promises she told you, of how she would always love you and only you. And all that time you spent protecting her from me, what a waste. Really, I pity you."
"I said shut up."
Stefan threw him with such force, that he landed across the room. And in a blur both vampires charged at each other, coming to a standstill with both their hands wrapped around each other's necks.
"Caroline, get out of here."
She shook her head. "No Stefan, I'm not leaving you."
"Go!"
"No!"
She charged towards them and released Klaus' grip on Stefan, by throwing him off and against the wall. Stefan grabbed her.
"You need to leave."
She shook her head. "No, I won't leave you. We can work together, we're stronger that way."
Stefan nodded. "Alright."
He swiftly pushed her out of the way as Klaus came at them. Stefan pushed him back again and Caroline came to his side.
"Are you ready?"
She nodded, determined. "Yeah."
Klaus broke off a piece of wood from the coffee table and charged at Stefan, Caroline tried to push Klaus back but the wood connected into Stefan's arm. He let out a painful groan as he fell to the floor, carefully pulling the stake out. Caroline ran at Klaus, ready to attack him when he swiftly pushed her through the window. The sound of shattering glass had Stefan up on his feet in seconds and toward Caroline. Jeremy came around the corner, worry etched on his face.
"Jeremy, stay back." Stefan warned.
Caroline slowly rose to her feet and everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Klaus came through the window with the piece of broken table that had seconds ago been in Stefan's arm. He charged at Caroline and stabbed it through the left side of her back, sinking it through her heart. She heard herself scream in agony which was followed by Stefan and Jeremy both yelling 'NO!' as they ran towards her, Stefan ran past her and threw Klaus onto the street. Then she heard his haunting voice.
"My work here is done."
