Disclaimer: I don't own The Vampire Diaries in any way. I give complete credit to L. J. Smith.

I've planned on writing a chapter a day, and baring any complications I will. Some shockers will come about during this chapter so be ready. Enjoy!

KlausPOV

He stood outside Caroline's window, knowing that he shouldn't be here. His heart drove him to her and he couldn't hold back. He knew that he needed to control himself and his love for her, but what was really stopping him except his affections not being returned? Was he more afraid of what his siblings would think about him being with her? Kol had already made it clear that loving anyone was a sign of weakness. He shook his head, about to walk away when he saw her in the window looking down at him.

She opened the window and her eyebrows rose, "What are you doing here?" She looked around, begging that no one was watching. She sighed and looked at him, "Seriously? Leave me alone." At that she slammed her window shut and scowled, laying back on her bed.

He sighed, turning away. As he did so he looked back just for another look at her. As he did he felt a pang of longing for her. He sighed, speaking quietly, "Believe me. If I could I would..." He sighed, turning away and walking back to the Mikaelson house. As he arrived he saw Rebekah and Finn sitting in the living room watching TV.

Smirking, she turned to look at her brother, "Where were you? Out killing someone?" She laughed, knowing he actually hadn't.

He sighed, shaking his head, "Yeah. I actually was." He grinned lightly at his own internal joke. Killing any hope of being with her was the more accurate assessment. He turned out of the room and walked upstairs to one of the many vacant rooms. He sat on the bed and sighed, knowing that this was killing him.

Knowing something was wrong, she followed behind her brother upstairs and knocked on the door lightly, "Nik, are you alright?" She looked at him, seeing the pained expression on his features. She frowned, hating to see him like this.

He sighed, shaking his head, "No nothing is wrong Rebekah." He knew she would never understand. Nor let him live it down. He knew she hated Caroline and all the rest of them. He should too, considering they had done everything to screw with his plans. But he didn't understand why he loved her so much, but he did.

Her brows furrowed as she watched her brother wage his internal struggle. She sat beside him and put a hand on his shoulder, "Nik, you can talk to me. You know that." She looked at her brother with deep concern. She hadn''t seen him like this in ages. Knowing he hadn't had any plans to do anything drastic recently, she was completely unaware as to what he was pining over.

He sighed, shaking his head, "I know. But some things need to be kept to ourselves Bekah." He looked down, hating every bit of this. He knew the real solution to his problem. Leave or kill her. He had the chance once. When he ordered Tyler to bite her. But he just couldn't let her die at his hand. She had all of eternity to experience pure and real beauty. Art, music, food, cultures, countries, the world was at her feet as eternity stretched out before her.

She frowned, "Nik, what is it that is bothering you so? I asked mother but she told me to leave it be. What is it Nik?" She frowned, knowing the right thing to do was to head by her mother's warning, but she cared for him to much to just let him be. She needed to help him.

He looked at her, "You had feelings for Damon. Real feelings?" He looked at her, not enjoying bringing up his sister's heartbreak, but knowing that he needed to have her identify with him about this.

She grimaced, nodding. She didn't like to think about how he had no real feelings for her, "Yes. Why?"

He shrugged, "I do for Caroline." He looked at her features to judge what she truly though.

She arched an eyebrow, attempting to absorb the concept of her brother falling for a twit like Caroline Forbes. She conceded that he always did have strange taste in women. Nodding, she offered him a kind smile, "Well, she's a fool to not share your feelings Nik."

He shrugged lightly, "She hates me. And with good measure. I've screwed up her life so many times and all those who existed in it. I don't deserve her." He sighed, standing up, "Don't tell anyone what I've said. Only you and mother know. Keep it that way." He sighed, walking out of the room and downstairs. He walked outside into the warm Virginia night, desperately needing a drink.

. . .

Arriving at the Grill, he ordered a drink and sat down, preparing to wallow in his self pity for the night. He took a drink of his glass or bourbon and looked around as he heard his name.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Tyler walked over to him, anger plainly set on his features.

He turned around, his drink still in his hand as he looked at Tyler, "I don't know what you're talking about mate. Sorry." He took another drink and continued to watch him.

His anger grew as he watched Klaus. He smashed the glass out of his hand and scowled, "Yeah? Stalking my girlfriend. Does that ring a bell?" He got closer to Klaus, anger building still, "Leave her the hell alone or so help me I will-"

His words broke off as Klaus stood up, putting a hand around his neck, "I don't believe you want to finish that sentence mate. It might not end well for you. Don't forget," His grip on his throat tightened as he spoke, "I'm an Original hybrid. I made you what you are and I can just as easily take your life away. Keep that in mind next time you want to threaten me." He let go of him and started walking out.

Following after him and exiting the Grill, he grabbed his shoulder and turned him around. Taking a swing at his face and his fist connected with a loud thud.

Staggering back, his eyes widened as he watched Tyler, "Oh, not a good idea." He blurred forward and grabbed Tyler by the neck, slamming him against the wall, "Now. I suggest you think again next time you decide you want the challenge me. I will do whatever I please despite your preferences." He dropped him and scowled, shaking his head.

Abruptly, she spoke in an angry voice beside the two, "What the hell is going on?"

Klaus and Tyler both looked up, astonished to see Caroline standing there.

"Seriously?" She glared at Klaus, walking over and grabbing Tyler's arm, "What did I say about leaving me the hell alone? What will it take for you to see that I completely hate you and your creepy obsession with me is seriously misguided. Everyone hates you and we all basically want you dead. So why don't you just hurry up and get it over with already." She glared once more before walking away.

Did Caroline really mean what she said? What will Klaus do to retaliate? You'll have to wait and find out. Hope you all liked it. Can't wait to see what happens? Well you'll have to.
