Sooo sorryyyyyy for not updating in like forever, but i've had so much to do! But now i'm on a break and i'm gonna write and update a lot! Please review and if you have some interesting oppinions or suggestions please tell me :) xx

After a few days of riding they finally got to Florida. Klaus was getting convinced Caroline was falling into his grip. Soon she would hand herself over. It buggered him that Tyler still was dragging along though, really, he was nothing he needed at all. Willow, well she was alright. After all, she could help them … a bit, and he had promised himself since the night he and Caroline sat by the river to not be his normal self. Though this was him too, he wasn't always like he had been in Mystic Falls. It's just that he had been that Klaus for so long, almost forever, and actually the only ones he had opened himself up to like he had for Caroline was Rebekah, Elijah and Stefan, and not even this much. Caroline was special, he felt like she understood him some kind of way. She had a bit of a screwed up life and so did he, but they were both to put it together and hopefully to do it with each other.

It took a lot to not rip out Tyler's throat or heart, or just hurt him in any kind of way. He was like a bug you can't get rid of. But every time Klaus felt his rage coming up, he pictured Caroline in his head. Beautiful Caroline.

It was so amusing seeing her face as they entered the village of the Indians. She was stunned, with her mouth wide open and eyes glowing with delight. They let the horses run away as they walked in to meet the residents.

"Are you sure they have something for us?" , Caroline asked as she walked in front of him past the huts and fireplaces. "I mean, will these people have any of the objects?"

"I hope so. I have a feeling they will know a lot more than we think they will. Just like witches they are very fascinated in the nature and do also believe in magic and monsters" , she looked up at Klaus, "excuse my language."

"No, you're right. We are indeed beasts."

"And we'll make sure they know that too if they're not to cooperate" , he said and made one of his grins. If they wouldn't hand the things over, they would just take it from them. In sake of his relationship with Caroline, he hoped the first suggestion would be the one to use.

"Where are they?" , Tyler's annoying voice spoke.

"Oh, will you just shut up?" , Klaus sighed and then almost threw himself into one of the huts. "Good day" , he said as he found a man sitting whittling some figure.

The man looked up in chock and then flung up in a defending position with his knife pointing at him. Klaus let out a chuckle and then took a grip of the man's neck, staring into his eyes. "Lead me to your headman" , he compelled him.

The man nodded his head after Klaus had loosen his grip and walked out to the others to lead Klaus to their leader. In the back of a rather small hut a fat man with long black hair sat with a worried look upon his face. As he saw Klaus enter he wrinkled his forehead in a strange way.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your day, but I'd like to find out more about JNEL, and I think you might have the answers I'm looking for" , Klaus spoke directly at the fat man.

"What about it?" , the man's dark voice asked curiously. Klaus knew it wouldn't be easy just barging into this village and get answers in just a second. Of course they would ask questions, he was just to play the cards right.

Klaus waved his hand in an majestic way to show the others who stood behind him with scared faces. "We need some items" , he answered. "And help."

"Who are you?" , the man continued.

"I'm Niklaus. This is Caroline, Tyler and our friendly witch Willow" , he said as he pointed them all out. "We're to negotiate if it's needed."

"Nyos!" , the man who had led them here shouted at his leader before walking up to him. He leaned in and whispered so that they would not hear, but everyone except Willow heard. "You can't tell them. It's too dangerous. The gods will punish us all!"

"Aadi" , Nyos said out loud to the man, "let me deal with it."

Klaus stood and waited patiently. He would keep calm. No need to hurt anyone if it wasn't necessary. For Caroline, he thought.

"Why do you need my help, stranger?"

"Well, you could put it this way," , Klaus started, "we've lost some years. Actually we're from the future, trying to get back home again. Willow here" , he nodded at Willow and then got back to Nyos, "said that you could know things about this. She has a book we're JNEL occur and there's this spell that can make you travel through time. To finish the spell you need items, or it won't work." He paused and waited for Nyos to imply.

"You have the book?" , Nyos said and stared at Willow.

"It's my family's grimoire" , she said and stared back.

"Give it to me" , he said in haste. Aadi came up to Willow and ripped the bag of her and took up the three books. He gave them all to Nyos.

Nyos searched through them all three in silence. All that could be heard was his small sighs and him smacking his lips now and then. "How did your family come upon this spells? JNEL's spells are supposed to be only found in one book and it's not any of these!" , he then yelled.

"How would I know?" , Willow said with a powerful voice.

"Okay, no need to fight" , Klaus said to have the control over everyone and then walked up to Nyos. "There's another book? Where is it?"

"That is what I would like to know too" , Nyos said and raised his chin in an offensive way. "Because I don't know where it is. It's gone. Missing."

"What a coincidence we happen to have. There's one page in this book that's missing" , Klaus said as he knocked with two fingers at one of them.

"I'm sorry to hear. Now, I do not seem to find any reasons for you to stay. I do not need your help with anything. I have everything I need, well of course I do not hold onto the book, but it is nothing I am desperate to have. You may now leave."

"I'll give you gold, food, horses, anything" , Klaus said in a serious tone as he tightened his jar. He stared at the man, but didn't compel him. Not yet.

"I see that you're desperate, stranger" , Nyos said with a grin. "Alright. I will be kind. It would be fun to be the books owner, after all."

Klaus got a smirk on his lips and thought that this wasn't as tough he had thought. You fools, he though and laughed in his head. "Brilliant." He turned around and pushed a bit on Caroline's shoulder so that they would leave. She hadn't said anything, maybe it was for the best. Her mouth could say some crazy stupid things sometimes. How could that man think Klaus would hand over a book that he too wanted? Extremely dumb.

"What's the plan?" , Caroline whispered to him as he lead her to a fire place.

"You'll see."
