Never let me go
The stars never shone so bright as that night on a hill near Chicago. The stars never shone so bright in one girl's eyes as that night that changed it all. The girl's name was Caroline Forbes and she finally after 19 years of her life felt something, something real, something hers and hers alone. On that hill near Chicago she felt safe, she felt she was right were she was meant to be, tucked into his amorous arms.
"We should go." She said although unwillingly.
"Why?" he asked
"Well, we can't stay here forever."
"And why not?"
"Nik … You're not making any sense."
" Really? Because for the first time in my life I feel like I'm making perfect sense." he said and kissed her once more. Gently, but yet passionately. She had kissed a few guys when she was in her all girls' school; don't ask how she managed to, but after tonight she knew she was never truly kissed before. He kissed her like she was the only thing that existed in this world, like she was the air he couldn't live without. He was kissing her like she mattered, like she was the only thing that mattered. His kisses made her feel wanted and beautiful. His kisses made her want it all, and want it with him. As you can see, his kisses were making her lose her mind, so she pulled herself away, just a little bit.
" No seriously, my God it's almost morning. You have to take me home."
" But why? Why can't I just keep you? I have kidnapped you after all." Klaus was teasing her while kissing her earlobe and making her dizzy.
" No, stop. We … We really should get going."
" You don't mean that." now he was putting small, gentle kisses across her hand and it made her heart and her head twirl.
" Nik …" she whispered in ecstasy.
" See? It doesn't sound like you want us to part."
" Nik, be a gentleman. I really need to head back home before my father calls the police."
" I guess you're right." he finally admitted.
" I deeply apologize on my ungentleman like behaviour, it's just you completely distracted me. You have that affect on me, if you haven't noticed." He said and winked at her.
Oh no, why did he had to wink. She hated when he was winking at her. It was just too damn sexy for human eyes to bear. She really couldn't help it when she knocked him back on the blanket and started kissing him forcefully once more. He was like a drug running through her veins, the sweetest drug she had ever tasted. So it took them almost a half hour more to finally release one another and to head back to Chicago.
She was looking at the window and a shiver suddenly came over her. What did just happen? What did she do? What did they do? What would tomorrow bring?
" Penny for your thoughts?" he said
" Oh, not sure they're worth as much."
" For one thought from that pretty little head of yours I would give everything I have."
" Oh Nik …" she turned around and faced him while he was driving, but still looking at her from time to time.
" Caroline …" he whispered gently and at that moment she knew she had no clue what tomorrow might bring but as for tonight … She regretted nothing. But nonetheless she was still scared to death.
"What are we going to do Nik?" she asked bluntly because she had a hole in her stomach that was burning her up alive.
"Whatever do you mean sweetheart?"
"I mean that this is crazy, and I mean that the whole world is against us. I mean that this could never work." she said half crying. Suddenly he pulled the car to the side of the road and took her face into his hands.
" Look at me. I know this is crazy but that's why I trust it. The best things in life are the crazy things. The crazy things that take one's breath away, the way you took my breath away the first time I saw you two nights ago in that little white dress falling into my arms. Now that was crazy and I trust it, I trust in us."
" But …" she started speaking but he put a finger onto her lips.
" Sssh, do you trust me?"
She saw the fear in his eyes, and how much he longed to hear that yes from her lips. And she knew she did trust him, it didn't matter she had only just met him. She has been waiting for him her whole life, so how could she not trust him?
" Yes." she whispered but with assurance in her gentle voice.
" Then trust me when I say we will figure everything out, together."
"Together." he whispered into her hair as he held her close and as she wished he would never let her go.
But he did have to let her go. At least for tonight/ almost morning. They said their goodbye, with a dozen of kisses of course, not far from her house. She didn't want him to drive her right in front because she was afraid some servant might still be up, or God forbid her father. She looked at the little clock she had in her handbag, my God it was already 3 in the morning. Being reckless comes with its consequences … Being in love, a part of her still nerve-wracking heart thought, comes with its consequences. So she took a deep breath and entered her house trying to keep the noise to a minimum. She closed the door behind her and took off her shoes. She was just about to hit the stars on her fingers when she heard a voice behind her … A voice that made her melt on the spot … But it wasn't a good melt, like when Nik whispered how beautiful she looked like into her ear while touching her … It was that melt that made you want to scream in fear, but you were so scared you couldn't even do that.
"Caroline …" the voice repeated her name, sounding even more threatening the other time around. So she had no choice than to turn around, although her feet were ready to make a run for it, but no … She was a woman, not a child, and she had to behave accordingly.
"Father …" she answered. "What are you still doing up?"
"What do you think? Waiting for my daughter, a respectable member of this society to come home in the morning."
"I …" she tried to say something but her voice just cracked.
"Where the hell have you been?"
"Father, please calm down." she was trying to calm herself down and speak as normally as possible. Everything was at stake, she had to be strong, she had to be the version of herself Nik would never want to let go off.
"Don't tell me to calm down you ungrateful child. Now tell me where you have been."
" I have been at Tyler's club with Katherine and Stefan. I am so sorry I came so late, the time just ran out on us. We were having fun and Tyler insisted I stayed a while longer …" she was rambling, she was rambling like hell, and sending all her prayers to God he wouldn't figure it out. Truth to be told she was always a horrible layer, especially in front of a man she feared so much at times. But maybe … Maybe he had bought it?
Then it all happened so suddenly. He took two steps towards her and slapped her so hard she lost balance and fell to the floor. She felt her cheek burning and her head hurting. She was still a bit disoriented when he pulled her off her knees and held her in a painful grasp.
"You little whore." was the only thing he said.
"Please, you're hurting me." she tried to push him away but the held her even tighter, probably leaving bruises on her arms by now.
" You think I'm an idiot? Do you?" he yelled at her.
" No, I don't … Please …" she looked him in the eyes, begging him to let her go, and so he finally did. But he threw her so hard she almost lost balance again and stumbled before restoring her balance and rubbing her arms in places where he left his marks.
"I know you left the club with that Nik Mikaelson bastard. You see, I never trusted you, so I had you followed. You're a little bitch; you get that from your mother. "
" Daddy please …" Caroline was desperately trying to calm him down.
" Don't …" he yelled so hard Caroline had feared he woke up the entire house, not that anyone would dare to come down while he was in this mood, not even her mother.
" Don't call me that. You are no daughter of mine. I gave you everything. I have arranged a perfect marriage for you. And how do you repay me? By mocking me in this way?"
"This isn't about you." she finally yelled and waited for him to lash out at her one more time, but he didn't move an inch, and nor did she.
"Oh, and what is it about? Love?" he started laughing so hard it made Caroline's ears bleed.
" Love? You know nothing about love, or maybe you do …" he said and approached her once more. She could see the evil glare in his eyes.
"You are going to marry Tyler. You'll never see that guy again, unless Tyler asks you otherwise. If you ever go to him again … I promise I'll kill him in cold blood. I'll tear limp by limp from his worthless body and feed it to the dogs while he's screaming your pathetic little name. "
"You wouldn't do that." Caroline whispered, but she knew very well he would.
"You want to test me?" he said still having that evil glare in his eyes.
"Now go to your room, so I don't have to look at your despicable face anymore."
He didn't have to tell her twice. Although her feet were shaking and she could barely move she ran to the stars when she heard a voice behind her say.
" Oh Caroline? One more thing. If you try to run I will hunt you both down and kill you like dogs. Hope we're clear on that sweetie."
Caroline closed the door to her room and fell to the floor. She started shaking and gasping for air. She closed her eyes, and the tears she was trying to hold back so desperately downstairs came.
"Oh Nik …" she whispered into the darkness.
After a while of sitting on the cold floor and crying in silence she finally somehow, in a blur, managed to get up, get undressed and go to bed. But sleep never came to her eyes. She was millions of years far from sleeping. "Do you trust me?" echoed in her ears, but it was followed by a: "I promise I'll kill him in cold blood." What the hell was she supposed to do now? There was a no way out for her … She would die herself if anything happened to him … Although she would die far from him as well… But at least he would be alive … Oh God, she needed to talk to somebody … So she waited impatiently for the sunrise. She waited to hear her father's footsteps on the steps. She waited to hear him walk out. Then she called out to their servant Maria and told her to go to Katherine's house and tell her to come at once, that it was an emergency. She knew Katherine would hate her for waking her up so early, but she also knew Katherine would always come to her, no matter what. And she wasn't wrong, an hour later Katherine Pierce stormed into her room.
" Are you insane? Do you know the hour? Didn't you hear us beauties need our beauty sleep? Care …" she stood in half of a sentence when seeing her face, a very ugly bruise was forming on the one side of her cheek.
"Caroline, my lord … Who did this to you? Was it Nik?" she said in disbelief, feeling guilty she ever let her friend go with a stranger, no matter how charming he was.
" Oh Kat." Caroline started crying and Katherine almost cried as well when seeing her friend in so much pain.
"That bastard. I'm going to smack him personally … How dares he … I'm going to …"
"Katherine, it wasn't him. Sit down."
Caroline suddenly had such a sense of deju vu. Was it just yesterday afternoon that they were sitting in the same position talking about her marriage to Tyler? Was it? Because she didn't feel like the same person anymore. She felt ten years older, but none the wiser. She knew in her heart what she had to do, but that didn't mean it was hurting any less. First step was to say everything to Katherine. She would be the only person to know, the only one that could help her. So she spoke and spoke until her mouth went dry. And for once Katherine was perfectly quite, not interrupting her, just listening. When Caroline finally stopped Katherine just looked at her with a tear in her eye and said: "You know what you have to do."
Caroline stood up and went to the window. Although it was daylight she was trying to see the stars one more time. She closed her eyes and thought: "No matter what I do Nik. Please, never let me go."
First of all I have to say- THANK YOU,THANK YOU, THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU! I have never thought I'd get so many reviews, but every one of them made me so happy ... That is why I decided to write the next chapter so soon. My boyfriend's coming tomorrow, so I'll be dealing with my love life instead of Klaroline, so I wanted to publish this so you wouldn't have to wait a week.
I'm also happy to be publishing it just before the FINALLY Klaus and Caroline moment in TVD ( I almost died two days ago when seeing the still of them dancing) and that is why I'm a bit sorry this is such a hard chapter but as Klaus and Caroline in the show, the 20is Caroline and Nik will have to go through a lot to fight for their love. Poor Care though ... Her father is really horrible ... But I still think this is a pretty decent chapter,very emotional and everything, PLEASE REVIEW AND MAKE ME HAPPY AGAIN. AND ENJOY OUR LONG AWAITED KLAROLINE MOMENT TONIGHT. LOVE YOU ALL KLAROLINE LOVERS OUT THERE :)))
