Caroline woke up, her bed was cold without him beside her, even if when she woke up she knew that he would be staring at her. But now all she could do was clench the sheets tighter around her and reach for her damn annoying cell phone.

"Blondie, where are you? We're trying to enact phase two of Kill Klaus and you're not here!" Damon growls, he sounds frustrated and exhausted, "We've been out looking for you."

"You obviously haven't been trying hard enough." Caroline snaps at him, "I've been at my house this entire time."

Damon just snarls at her, "Why weren't you answering your door? Having more wet dreams about the Hybrid you're linked to?"

"Shut the fuck up Damon." Caroline shouts, she's getting pretty pissed off, "I do not need your snarky asshole attitude so damn early in the morning. For someone that's going to help you kill Klaus, you aren't being very thankful."

She can hear Damon huff, "It'd be nice if you weren't sleeping with him."

Boom.

Caroline can feel her vampire self making a appearance, "You shouldn't care who I sleep with Damon Salvatore. Considering you took advantage of me, drained my blood and raped me!" She's growling now and she can feel veins popping around her eyes, "Since you decided to be a narcissistic bastard, good luck finding some other chick linked to Klaus to help kill him." She clicks the end button on her phone and then assesses it. She's amazed that it's still in one piece.

Well, now she had to enact operation Save Klaus.


Okay, so cross out Operation Save Klaus, now it was officially renamed: Operation Find Klaus. He shouldn't be too hard to find, considering he popped up every time she was in a slinky dress or during a inappropriate moment. But before finding Klaus, she packed, she knew that there was no way that she would live after saying something like that to Damon.

Knowing Stefan he'd probably be able to restrain Damon for a few minutes.

Caroline didn't really care, she grabbed out a large suitcase and threw almost everything she had into the suitcase. She went over to her closet and bunched all her clothes up in her arms, then she plopped them in. She did this also when she went over to her make up table and dresser drawers.

"Packing, blondie?" A amused voice says from her doorway, Caroline slowly drags her eyes up, she knows who it is. Damon Salvatore.

He's standing clad in a black suit, a smirk layering his lips.

"It's not like I'm staying." Caroline hastily says, standing up from her suitcase, her heels clicking when she walks over to him, "No matter what you say."

Damon walks over to her, a smirk playing on his lips, "So you'd leave Bonnie?"

Caroline's eyes grow dark and she freezes, "Don't do this to me, Damon." She says with a broken voice, not wanting to look up at him.

"What about Elena?" Damon asks, she can feel his footsteps coming closer, "If you leave, Klaus kills her."

"No he won't." Caroline breathes, "Because he's coming with me." She stands up slowly, turning to face him, "I can't die yet Damon." She says.

Damon bites his lip, "Damn it Caroline! Don't you get it!" He grabs her roughly by the arm, "He's using you, Caroline. He's trying to keep you from everything you know to save his own ass."

"Are you two related?" Caroline snaps back, "Because I recall that you used to use me too!"

She's on the ground then, her cheek burning, she looks up at Damon with vampire eyes and lunges at him.

Her fist is just punching him, she's not sure where until she's pressed up against the wall, a hand surrounding her throat.

"I should just kill you now Barbie!" He growls, his own vampire eyes have come out to play, "Don't ever speak to me like that again!"

Caroline struggles under his vice grip, "Maybe you shouldn't have used me then!" She manages to snarl through tight lips.

He presses harder on her wind pipe, omitting a painful gasp from Caroline, "Holding a grudge, blondie?"

"You were used by Katherine. Remember how that felt?" Caroline gasps out, "You're holding a grudge against her too."

Damon drops her, "Fine, leave town with loverboy. But here's one thing that you should get through your head: the minute we find something that can kill Klaus, we hunt you down." He turns on his heel and storms out.

Caroline rubs her throat soothingly, she turns around to see her body made a imprint in the wall.

She takes a deep breath to calm herself, leaning against the wall, she stares helplessly out the window.

Bonnie.


She finds him drinking himself into oblivion at the Grill, she grabs him by his arm and doesn't bother to listen to his meek protests. He snarls at her, telling her how he won't go back to the 'damn bloody chamber' that she locked him in before. All she does is open her car door and wait for him to get inside.

"Come on." Caroline impatiently says, starting up the car.

Klaus eyes the luggage in the back, a eyebrow raising, "So you're taking me up on my offer?"

Caroline flushes a bit, "Don't be flattered. It's more of a do or die situation." She grumbles, pressing her foot on the gas pedal and peeling out of the Grill and heading towards the Original mansion.

"No promises." Klaus says with a smirk, "Where to first?"

"Your house, to pick up your stuff so you can say your goodbyes to your family." Caroline says, brushing a piece of hair out of her eye.

"You've already said your goodbyes?"

"No."

"Did you even consider saying them?"

"I don't need it."

"Don't need what?"

"I don't need them to try and keep me here just to kill you." Caroline sighs, "If I died right now, I wouldn't have even lived a duration of a normal human life. Humans live up to be in their 90's, I'd live to be in my teens still. I can't die yet."

"Yet?" Klaus scoffs, tapping his fingers against the dashboard, "You act as if I'd let you die."

Caroline covers her ears in a childish attempt to stomp out his advances, "Stop doing that!"

"Doing what?" He asks.

"Being all romantic and stuff!" Caroline uncups her ears and looks at him, "And that!" She points at his eyes.

Klaus raises his eyebrows at her, "What?"

"Your eyes! Stop looking at me like I'm some sort of puppy or something." Caroline jerks the car to a stop in front of his house, "I don't think I can do this."

Klaus cocks his head to the side, "Do what?"

Caroline points a finger between the two of them, "How am I supposed to travel the world with you when you're like, in love with me?" Caroline keeps her eyes on the road in front of her.

Klaus chuckles.

"It's not funny!" Caroline insists.

"Caroline, I'm not going to push you into anything." Klaus turns to look at her, "So don't freak out on my account, love." He smirks, "I won't push this."

Caroline takes a sharp intake of breath when he's suddenly coming closer, she thinks he's going to kiss her. His lips are so close, she almost wants him to kiss her, but instead, he places a light chaste kiss on the side of her mouth before opening his car door and running to his house.

Caroline dreamily sighs, sinking into her chair and closing her eyes. Her breathing was erratic and irregular, she wasn't sure how long it would take for her to snap again.

Klaus came back out with a few suitcases, he puts them in the back of the trunk, and who else but Vampire Princess comes hobbling down the steps, a bright pink suitcase in her hands.

He puts all of the suitcases in the trunk and Caroline's in disbelief.

"You're kidding, right?" Caroline asks, glaring at him.

"She insisted." Klaus shrugs and dives into the drivers seat as Rebekah climbs into the backseat.

"Did you not get the memo?" Caroline questions, "We kind of - absolutely hate each other."

Klaus tugs his seat belt on, "I figured it'd be a great time for my two favorite ladies to be friends and let bygones be bygones."

Caroline rolls her eyes and scoffs, "She tried to steal my boyfriend."

"Ex." Rebekah supplies, "Just not at the time."

Caroline turns around to give her a heavy glare, "What's your ulterior motive?"

Rebekah scoffs, "Must you always assume that Originals have ulterior motives?"

"She has someone she fancies in Rome." Klaus supplies, "She's merely coming along to see a boy, nothing more."

"Hm, Rebekah, that sounds remarkably human of you to have emotions." Caroline snaps childishly, they were like two bickering sisters, "I never knew that heartless bitches could actually fall in love."

"You fell in love didn't you?" Rebekah scoffs, leaning back in the seat and kicking her feet up.

Caroline rolls her eyes, "You were human once, weren't you?"

Rebekah growls under her breath and looks out the window, furious, "Don't make me rip your heart out here. Nik may hold a grudge on me for a decade or two, but I'd be willing to suffer the consequences."


They get to the airport, and to Caroline's astonishment, Bonnie is there. Standing in the fray of people, she looks like a lost child.

"Caroline!" Bonnie cries, running over at her perfectly human speed to wrap herself around Caroline, "I was so scared that you'd already left."

"Not yet." Caroline grumbles into Bonnie's hair, "I can't stay for long, they'll know."

"I didn't tell anyone." Bonnie says with a husky voice.

"I know."

"I want to keep you here so badly." Bonnie quips, her arms growing tighter around Caroline to support her statement, "But you'd die."

Caroline sighs, "I'll call you every time I get a chance, don't worry about me."

"Caroline, love. It's best if we get going." Klaus says, interrupting the two friend's embrace.

"Bye Caroline." Bonnie says.

"Goodbye Bonnie." Caroline gives her a smile before walking off, Klaus shoves a ticket into her hand. She opens the ticket, "Rome?"

Klaus puts a hand in the middle of her back as they head for the gates, Caroline turns to see Bonnie sobbing and watching them.

"Is she going to be okay?" Caroline asks, more to herself than to Klaus.

"They always are." Klaus says.

Of course he'd know, he's perfect at running away.

Bonnie sees Caroline staring and she picks up her hand in a meek attempt to wave goodbye to the trio. Caroline waves her hand back to Bonnie and offers her a bright smile.

Klaus is staring at her throughout the exchange.

She's still full of light despite all the darkness that's come in her path.

"You're clear." The security guy grumbles, and Caroline, Klaus, and Rebekah pass through the gates.

Bonnie takes a few steps backward before she begins to leave the airport.

She receives a text from Caroline.

Miss you already.
