Author's Note:

Hey guys! Thank you so much for all the reviews and they honestly do make my day! I'm so glad that you're all enjoying this story as much as I am. A word of warning, since I'm going to start writing mini drabbles aswell, the chapters may not end up being chronological like how it is so far. But anyway, hope you all enjoy this! Please carry on reviewing! I love hearing your opinions on how you think the story will go too!

This is how I think Tyler and Caroline will ask Klaus for help with decoding the sword in episode 4x14. This is based upon spoilers from the synopsis... Enjoy!


Klaus lay silently on the couch, in the same way he had been since she had left in the morning. He was growing more and more agitated by the minute, especially since all he could do was sit and wait for the damn spell to be broken. Boredom was taking its toll on him and so was his thirst for blood. The blood bag he had been given by Caroline had certainly not filled him and he was now becoming more irritated with his situation.

What made it worse was that he had nothing to do but lie there in deep thought about him feelings for her. He found that no matter what he did, his mind would come wandering back, full circle, to that blonde, fiery vampire that had him so entangled in her web. The more he thought about her, the more he would get angry at himself. How could he have allowed her to take his heart so easily? After all, he was not Rebekah. After a thousand years, how could she, a baby vampire, have made his humanity turn back on?

In all honesty, his humanity had never been fully turned off. Most vampires, even with their emotions turned off, could still feel something. For most of his thousand year existence, the only emotions still inside of him were rage, anger and sadness. His soul felt hollow with emptiness from loneliness and bitterness. What people didn't know about him was that, all he longed for was for a family. He wanted his family to be whole again; to be forever reunited without their lives being put in danger. Somehow, he felt that being with Caroline, filled that empty longing of wanting a family.

His trance of thought was broken when he heard the front door being opened. He didn't need to get up to know that it was her. He could smell her intoxicating scent filling the room but he could also smell that sickening wolf-scent for him with her.

"Well, well. What bring you two love-birds back here?" He spat the words out through his teeth.

"Or have you still not learnt your lesson?" His words were full of rage but he knew it was an empty threat for he couldn't bear the thought of harming Caroline once again. There was silence for a moment while Tyler decided what to say.

He hesitantly said, "We need your help, Klaus." This few little words intrigued Klaus for a few moments so he sat up to get a clearer look at the couple.

He saw that Caroline was looking as lovely as ever. She was now in a different outfit and her golden-locks were reflecting the sunlight coming from nearby window. She was looking at him with an emotion in her eyes that he couldn't seem to decipher.

"And what help would you need from me? After all, you did call me pathetic, if I remember correctly." Sarcasm was dripping from every word he spoke and she grew sick of it. He could see the familiar roll of her eyes before she stepped forward, in front of Tyler.

"Look, Klaus. We need your help with decoding the sword. The rest of them are nearing to finding the Cure and they need us to try and decode it. We know we won't be able to without your help." There was a tone of pleading within her voice which he could clearly hear.

"I told her that we didn't need you but she was insistent." Tyler interjected. A small amount of happiness jolted through him when he saw her roll her eyes at this comment. So, she was willing to put her pride aside and ask for his help? He was quite surprised, to say the least.

"What makes you think that I would help you and your silly, little friends? What makes you think that I care?" It was true what he had said to the Gilbert siblings. He had no intention of wanting the cure to make his stupid Hybrids. The only reason why he had wanted to make an army of Hybrids, in the first place, was to feel a sense of belonging but he had finally realised that his family were the only ones who could make him feel that. Unfortunately, he had realised that fact much too late and now he was paying dearly for that.

"Because Professor Shane wants to raise Silas and no matter how much you don't want to admit it, but that is a threat to even you." He considered this for a moment and knew it was true. If what Kol said about Silas was right, he really would become a great threat to all immortal beings, including himself.

With another moment of silence, he finally answered. "Fine. I will help you." He heard breathe a small sigh of relief and saw a thankful expression wash over her face.

"Thank you, Klaus." Those 3 little words that came out of her mouth meant much more to him than she would ever know. He was glad that finally there was something that she came to him, and only him for, even if it was to help her infuriating friends.

Her face changed slightly too as if to say that her thanks weren't just for his agreement to help, but also to say thank you for saving her. He kept a solemn look upon his face as the three of them turned silent before Tyler spoke up.

"Don't think for a moment that this changes. The only reason why we're keeping you alive is so that we don't die either as your bloodline." A flash of rage switched onto his face before then turning back to his cold glare.

"You know Tyler, at least if I die; I get to have the satisfaction of bringing you down with me. Quite ironic isn't it? That you tried so hard to break you're sire-bond to me and yet you're life is still tied to mine." His signature smirk spread widely across his face.

Tyler face lit up with anger and he quickly snapped, "Well not for much longer. Once I find the cure-"

"You two, stop it! All this stupid alpha-male fighting needs to stop! We need to work together Tyler so stop provoking him. Look how that turned out yesterday?" She quickly interrupted him and rightly so or Klaus really would have done something he wouldn't have regretted. His smirk grew even wider as she (sort of) defended him but only for her to tear him down as well.

"And you! You started all of this. It's your fault that any of this even began so wipe that smirk off your face." With that, his smirk dissipated but a look of amusement was still there. He likes how even though he had almost killed her last night, she was still not afraid of him. That was his Caroline. Fiery and fierce with a light that shone so brightly, that anyone could be blinded by it.

There was brief silence before Caroline spoke up once more.

"Well then, what are we waiting for then? Let's get started." And with that both her and the mutt entered his invisible cage.
