Caroline sat on the edge of Bonnie's bed, while Bonnie impatiently flipped through a spell book, Caroline noted that her hand was shaking.

"Are you okay?" Caroline carefully asks, eyeing Bonnie as a hiss escapes her lips after skimming a page.

Bonnie looks up abruptly from her book, "Can I be honest with you about something?" She asks, tapping her fingers against the page.

Caroline nods, "Of course you can, Bonnie." Caroline stretches her legs out.

"How bad would it be if I said I wanted to rip the Salvatores hearts out?" Bonnie says, a dark look crossing her usually calm face, her eyes searching Caroline's.

Caroline can't help the soft gasp that escapes from her lips, seeing Bonnie acting so dark makes her worried, "Um, considering the situation.." Caroline looks towards Abby's room, "It'd be... normal, for you to want to do that. But you won't actually do it will you?"

Bonnie's eyes are now becoming misty, "Of course not. They get to go on, living their happy immortal lives, and I get to help my Mom through a transformation and then slowly wither away in front of her eyes. I always thought it would be her withering away first, not me."

Damn, Bonnie was seriously hurting about this entire thing. This wasn't a one time deal, Bonnie would have to deal with this everyday, she'd have to stare at her mother and tell her I love you before she goes to sleep every night, but Caroline felt that Bonnie would always look at her Mother as a monster.

"I barely even know her." Bonnie whispers, clutching her knuckles, "How is that fair? I get to care for a woman who left me, why shouldn't I leave her?"

"Because she needs you Bonnie." Caroline puts a arm around Bonnie's shoulders.

Bonnie sniffles, "She wasn't there for me when Gram died. She was never there."

Caroline pulls Bonnie closer to her, hugging her, "She's here now Bonnie, and she needs you." Caroline lets out a chuckle, "Hell, I need you."

Bonnie lets out a breath of air, "I know. I need you to help me through this."

Caroline laughs, "Do you even have to ask?"

Caroline slept over that night, the girls were intertwined by the side in Bonnie's bed, whispering and laughing every now and then.

Waking up in the morning, she found Bonnie in the kitchen with Kol.

"Good morning, sleeping beauty." Kol says to Caroline when she enters the room with a suspicious look.

"What are you doing here?" Caroline asks, sucking in her lip.

"I thought I'd pay the most beautiful women in Mystic Falls a visit." He says with a pointed look towards Bonnie.

Obviously his interests were elsewhere besides Caroline.

Bonnie supplies a answer to Kol's question, "He's been helping me get blood for my Mom."

"Since you're currently feuding with the Salvatores." Kol says to Bonnie, quirking a eyebrow, "All you have to do is tell me to rip their hearts out, you know I'd do it. You have, after all, ripped my heart out and kept it for yourself." He says, bumping his hips with Bonnie's.

Bonnie rolls her eyes at his pitiful attempts at flirting with her, "You're hardly the person I'd go to. Knowing you, you probably have some sort of condition in mind."

Kol leans toward her, "Is a kiss too much to ask for?"

"Far too much." Bonnie replies easily, but her cheeks spread with the color of red and she glances away from him, her eyes now on Caroline.

"Well, I'm just going to head home then, since you obviously have company." Caroline begins to back out of the kitchen, "Besides, I'm in desperate need of a shower."

"Is Nik going to join you?" Kol says, a light tease to his voice.

Caroline feigns a disgusted face, "No." She rolls her eyes before departing the kitchen.

Bonnie turns to Kol, "You can leave now." Bonnie says with a soft tone, that is obviously meant to be threatening.

Kol puts a arm around her shoulders, "But you seem to need someone at the moment, and since your blonde friend isn't around.."

"I hardly need you." Bonnie shrugs his arm off and walks into the living room, he's right on her heels.

Caroline walks into her house, pleased to find it empty for once, she goes into her shower with ease and takes a nice long shower. The water is burning hot, the way she likes it as her skin glows with heat. She comes out of the shower, wrapping a towel around her and walking into her bedroom.

A gasp escapes her lips.

"Elijah." Caroline squeaks, tightening her robe around her, suddenly feeling naked despite the silk pink robe that is covering her.

"Sincerest apologies, but I was wondering when you were going to tell Klaus about you and Stefan." Elijah says, folding his arms.

Caroline rolls her eyes, "I've already told him, didn't Klaus bring you Stefan's heart yet?" Caroline pauses, "Okay, are you like stalking me or something? This is getting creepy."

Elijah strolls over to her window, drawing the curtains, "I'm afraid to tell you that Niklaus has disappeared."

Caroline's eyes widen, she can barely rasp out, "What?"

"I believe he confronted Stefan last night, prompting his disappearance, I was hoping you'd be able to find him." Elijah folds his arms across his chest.

"Me?" Caroline squeaks.

"Yes, you." Elijah says, walking to her bedroom door, opening it, "I want him found, Caroline Forbes. Or that Bennett witch won't be seeing daylight for a very long time, I've already made arrangements with Kol."

Caroline lets out a gasp, "Kol? You brought Kol into this?"

"Best of luck in finding Klaus." Elijah walks out then, leaving Caroline alone.

Caroline immediately went over to her cellphone, dialing Klaus's number, she knew that it wouldn't do anything, but damn, it didn't hurt to try. The phone didn't even ring, she was sent instantly to message, so that must mean his phone is off.

"Klaus, where are you? I told you it meant nothing - Elijah just broke into my house to tell me you disappeared, oh god, please don't do this. I need you." Her voice sounded so broken towards the end, "I'm going to find you Klaus, I'm not giving up on you." She says with a raspy tone, her voice catching at the end when a tear escaped her eye, "I'm coming for you." She whispered, hanging up the phone and running to her closet.

She puts on a ruffled shirt with a black blazer and skinny jeans. Then she goes under her bed, grabbing her suitcase and dragging it out, opening it and throwing toiletries and clothes into the suitcase. She turns to her phone, ordering tickets to Rome and Paris.

Damn it Klaus, I'm not giving up on you just yet.

She scribbles out a quick note to her Mother, writing how she needs to take a vacation for a while from everything. From her life. She makes the details haste and rash, writing she'll be back as soon as she can. But when Caroline picks up her suitcase and turns to face her room, she takes a deep breath and blows a kiss to her previous life.

For now anyways.

But Caroline doesn't race to the airport, she has a few hours to burn before eight o'clock rolls up on her, so she heads for the Salvatores.

Caroline knocks on the door, she left her luggage in her car to make sure they didn't question her as to where she was going.

"Caroline." Stefan has a smirk on his usually gentle face when he opens the door, "Come in."

Caroline steps into his house, turning to face him when the door is closed, "What have you done?"

Stefan quirks a eyebrow at her, "Me? Was I supposed to have done something? Is that the only reason you visited me Caroline, or do you have.. a more.. seductive purpose in mind." His hand trails her waist.

Caroline steps away from him, a little dizzy though at his sudden touch, "Why are you doing this Stefan?" She says through gritted teeth.

"Doing what?" Stefan asks, his eyes too innocent for her liking, "I'm just tired of coming in second place to you."

"Rebound doesn't feel too good either." Caroline snaps, "I don't care if your some monster. You're still in love with Elena, Elena Gilbert, remember her? You took her heart and pounced on it until she ran into Damon's arms?"

Stefan is glaring at her, "You came here about Klaus, didn't you?"

Caroline looks away for a moment, wanting him not to be right, "Yeah, I did."

"Yeah, your lover boy showed up here last night, threatening to rip my heart out."

"Then?" Caroline asks.

"Then he said that you deserved better then him."

Caroline swallows a painful lump that seemed to have built up in her throat.

"Then he just, left. My heart still in tact. Is that what you wanted to hear so badly?" Stefan asks, taking a step closer to her, "He said it himself, you deserve better."

"You think your better then Klaus?" Caroline questions, looking up at him.

Stefan takes her hand, "Of course I do."

Caroline rips her hand out of his and slaps him across the face, "Never talk to me again." She turns on her heel and she walks out, jogging to her car and slamming the door and speeding away.

She can see Stefan in the doorway, holding his cheek, slightly swearing to himself. He punches his fist against the door frame before walking back into the house.

Caroline turns on her phone, calling Bonnie, "Come on Bonnie." She whispers to herself.

"Hello Caroline, Elijah told me you'd call." Kol says, answering Bonnie's phone, "So I take that you've found Klaus?"

"Where's Bonnie?" Caroline leaves his question unanswered, "What have you done to her?"

Kol grins, "Nothing yet, why, are you worried for your witchy friend? I can assure you I'm going to need heavy doses of burn ointment when I'm done with her."

"What do you mean by done with her?" Caroline's breath is becoming more quick and rapid.

"You decide what I mean by that. Time is ticking, Caroline Forbes." Kol hangs up the phone, Caroline can swear she could hear Bonnie's weak protests in the background.

Caroline begins to speed to the airport.

A few hours into the plane ride, she falls asleep, she wakes up with a note on her lap.

You're getting closer, love.

That's all the note says, she sits up wildly looking through the airplane for Klaus, but finding no one.

She sighs, leaning back in her chair, his cologne is heavy in the air.

They land and she is the first off the plane, grabbing her luggage and renting a car, she checks into a hotel, and she has no idea where to begin.

"Have you seen the top of the Eiffel Tower in the dead of night, Caroline?" He asked her, while stroking her bare tummy as they lay side by side.

"I have a feeling you're going to tell me about it." Caroline laughs, turning to him.

Klaus smiles down at her, "It's exquisite, we must visit sometime."

She suddenly has a feeling as to where he is.

But firstly, she checks into a hotel room with her Mom's credit card, whatever, she can compel her way out of the bill. She goes up to her room and takes out a gold shimmering dress, sliding it on and lightly curling her hair, adding lip gloss to her lips and strapping on black heels.

She waits until the clock strikes midnight before racing through the streets of Paris. She barely has time to acknowledge the sights as she hops out of the car, racing through people and shoving past them impatiently. Her heels are loud across the pavement as she waits in the elevator for the top of the Eiffel Tower.

It's so crowded, it'll be difficult to find him anywhere.

"Klaus! Klaus!" Caroline calls, but she's afraid he'll disappear again, so she stays quiet.

"Excuse me, madame." A french voice says, and she turns to find herself face to face with a stranger.

"Um, hi." Caroline says meekly.

"I was told to deliver this to you." The man holds out a invitation, his eyes are glowing with compulsion. He's been compelled, the poor soul.

"Thank you very much." Caroline takes the note from him, turning her back on him. When she looks back over her shoulder, he's gone.

You're getting much closer love, but not close enough.

Try harder, I know you're smart. Start at your hotel and work your way up.

XOXO,

Klaus

Caroline crumples the letter and flings it off the Eiffel Tower before heading to the elevator.
