Hello everyone! So here it is! Thank you so much to those who have put this story on Alert! You have no idea how much it means to me. No IDEA! *klaroline fangirls*
So without further ado, enjoy!
Caroline was pacing the living room in a rage while Bonnie tried to explain herself.
"I had to do it!" bonnie repeated in despair, "I couldn't let you and my mom die."
"Oh, so you choose Tyler." Caroline said it like it was the most logical choice.
"He was the strongest supernatural around. I thought that in order to protect you guys I must protect Klaus. I couldn't exactly transfer him into a rabbit's body." Bonnie said. Caroline was in deep thought. Her pretty eyebrows were drawn together as she stole a glance at Tyler/Klaus. He was smirking up at her from his seat, completely stretched along a brown couch looking like he didn't have a care in the world. He was very amused with her. She paused from pacing and looked at her friend seriously, "can we do that?"
Bonnie looked at her disapprovingly.
"Alright" Klaus got up and looked at the two girls. "I can tell, you girls have a lot to catch up on, however, I have more pressing issues to attend to." He turned to Bonnie, who instantly froze in dread.
"Now, sweetheart, I'd like to get back to my own form. This new hybrid body is too weak for my liking." He said with a "Klaus" smirk. Caroline looked at Tyler's face but all she saw was Klaus. She felt tears in her eyes as she remembered Tyler's goodbye.
"We'll do it." Caroline blurted out. Bonnie and Klaus looked at her in shock. "We'll do it" she repeated.
"What?" Bonnie shrieked.
Caroline looked at Bonnie pleadingly. "It's the only way to get Tyler back. And I suggest this time we put him in a little bird cage"
"Ah love, you don't mean that at all." Klaus whispered. Caroline rolled her eyes.
The witch looked down and sighed sadly. Just a couple hours ago she was all ready to leave town with Caroline, to finally leave all the drama behind. Guess it will always follow them around no matter what they do.
Suddenly Bonnie's chin was forcefully jerked up. She found herself staring into Tyler's angry eyes. She saw Klaus. Her witch powers enabled her to feel Klaus's anger, frustration and hurt. Hurt at seeing Rebekah fall to the ground, mourning her brother's death. Hurt at seeing Stefan, someone he once considered a brother, drive his fingers through his chest.
Caroline was at their side instantly, pushing Klaus so hard he met the wall with a loud bang.
"Keep. Your. Distance."
Klaus's glare softened by a fraction as he looked at Caroline. He was in front of her in a flash.
"I don't intend on staying in this pony town, mind you. Once I'm in my true form I will make sure I put as much distance between me and Mystic Falls as I can." Klaus spat out. Caroline glared back into his eyes.
His eyes softened considerably, "You can join me if you want to." Caroline was shocked with how genuine his invite was. Her glare softened for a moment before returning.
"No thanks, I'd rather have my boyfriend back." She walked to bonnie leaving Klaus to his own thoughts. He was used to rejection from his family, yet strangely enough, when it came from this one girl it became much more… real.
The door bell started to ring like crazy. Bonnie jumped forgetting it was her home. She ran to the door and opened it only to find Sheriff Forbes and Mrs. Lockwood looking panicked.
"What are you two still doing here?" Mrs. Lockword shrieked with a high pitched voice. "You, young man, will get yourself killed!" She said as she strode over to Tyler who had one eyebrow raised sharply. Mrs. Lockwood – much to the girls' dismay – hugged him tightly. She then took a step back slashing away at some tears. Sheriff Forbes hugged her own daughter dragging Caroline's attention from the awkward scene. "You two should leave. Someone around the neighborhood saw you talking outside and asked us how you were doing. Leave now before someone on the council hears this." Sheriff Forbes warned Caroline and Tyler.
Before Alaric died he was able to rat out the Forbes and Lockwood families for being sympathizers with supernatural beings, since their children were ones themselves. If the council heard they were in town they will stop at nothing to ensure Caroline and Tyler were dead.
"Well, I have had more hugs today than I've had in a thousand years." Klaus laughed. He turned to Mrs. Lockwood and added, "Literally." He smirked at her. Mrs. Lockwood's eyes were as big as they can get as she looked at her 'son'.
"Are you… are you adopting an English accent." She laughed nervously before looking at Caroline and Bonnie, "Why is he adopting an English accent?"
"that's because he's an ass not Tyler." Bonnie stomped on her friend's foot. Sheriff Forbes looked at Tyler skeptically, "what do you girls mean?"
"He's Klaus Mikaelson." Caroline answered again. Bonnie gave up and covered her face with her hands.
Mrs. Lockwood gasped and backed away from him. "Oh… my…" she started to hyperventilate. "Mrs. Lockwood?" Bonnie asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"
"No" she replied before falling to the floor unconscious.
"Oh my God!" Elizabeth Forbes whispered rushing to her friend's side. Klaus watched, eyebrow still up. Caroline looked at him with distaste. He was enjoying himself she could tell. She bent over Mrs. Lockwood, carrying her bridal style to a nearby couch. Bonnie whispered over her shoulder, "wanna make a run for it?"
"Yes." she whispered back, rolling her eyes.
Klaus watched as Caroline attended to Mrs. Lockwood. She made tea for the elder woman and was whispering soothing words to her. So full of light, he thought. It was hard to think of her as a vampire. Caroline looked up, her eyes meeting Tyler's. She would have continued to think they were Tyler's if it weren't for the expression on his face. The same expression Klaus had when she entered the Mikaelson household for the ball.
Tyler never looked at her that way…
She shook the thoughts away before they crept into her head. She was only feeling gooey around Klaus because she was looking at Tyler, who she missed a lot. She looked at Bonnie and her mom instead. Bonnie was trying to explain the whole thing. Luckily her mom was quick to learning the details. She was a cop, it was their thing.
"Well." Elizabeth Forbes let out taking authority, "Here's what we'll do. We will bring back Tyler, and we will return Klaus to his original body. Then you" she pointed at Caroline, "and you" she pointed at Bonnie, "and Tyler will get out of this place."
"Right, sheriff." Klaus replied politely, "now if you'll excuse me I have some unfinished business with the Salvatores." Klaus got up and strode to the door. She watched him as he walked out, making eye contact with him for a moment.
She sighed heavily, sitting on a nearby chair. The Salvatores were big boys they could handle themselves, she thought, as she rested her head into the palm of her hand, elbow hoisted up on the dining table.
"Caroline." Her mom called to her. She looked up tiredly. "It's gonna be okay." Her mom reassured her.
Caroline thought of many retorts she would like to say to that, but her renewed relationship with her mother stopped her. Her mom truly cared. She was just too blind as a human to see that. Caroline smiled before replying, "I hope so."
Her mom smiled back at her. Caroline got the sudden urge to run into her mother's arms and cry like a child. Sheriff Forbes watched her daughter with love, "It will be okay soon." She repeated.
With a loud bang the front and back doors fell to the floor to reveal dozens of police men. Everything was happening so fast it was a blur. She stood up with inhuman speed, grabbed her mom, and joined her with Bonnie and Mrs. Lockwood. Everywhere she looked she saw men with blue uniforms yelling chaotically. She started to feel dizzy not knowing which officer she should attack first. They were just so many! A dozen, 30, maybe 40 officers? Caroline revealed her true form hoping that would scare some of the men away. They only piled in more, closing in on them faster and faster each second.
"Caroline!" she heard her mom scream. She looked at her mom. She was trying to fight off some officers who were attempting at carrying away the unconscious Mrs. Lockwood. Caroline pushed the officers away from her mom causing a chain reaction of falling police men. Bonnie was mumbling in a foreign language and in within a minute the rest of the officers fell to the floor as if a large gust of wind toppled them over. It didn't help stop more police men from entering the house, though. New ones came in replacing the old.
"Ahh" Caroline bent backwards. Someone injected her with vervain.
"Caroline!" Bonnie screamed. Caroline watched as an officer snuck up behind Bonnie. He hit a soft spot on her neck with the back of a gun causing her to fall to the floor. Caroline opened her mouth to let out a silent scream, before everything went utterly black.
Whew, that was long. Hope you guys didn't fall asleep. I'll try and post the next chapter up as soon as possible. For the time being: keep calm and love klaroline. :D
