Caroline saw a blur flash by after Damon was hit. She figured Elijah would be angry, but she didn't expect him to act this way.
"Are you okay?" she asked Damon. He was lying on his back moaning. Elijah must've hit him hard.
"Just peachy, Blondie. Go find him!" Damon said.
Caroline turned around and ran Vamp speed to find Elijah. She hoped she would be able to talk to him before he went all "angry Elijah" on her, but obviously that wasn't going to work.
It didn't take her long to find him. That punch and run thing really took it out of him. He was weak due to not feeding in a few days.
"Elijah-"
"What do you want, Caroline?"
"Elijah, please let me explain."
He nodded in agreement with her. He could rip that dark haired Vampires heart out, but he would not hurt Caroline. Never.
"First, you have to promise me not to hurt those two Vampires outside. They are on our side."
Elijah pondered this for a moment. These Vampires meant nothing to him, but if Caroline said so, then they were trustworthy.
"You have my word," Elijah said.
Caroline could trust that. Elijah lived by a certain code of honor, and if he gave his word, he stuck by it.
"Here. I brought this for you," Caroline said as she tossed the bloodbag to him.
"Thank you."
"I know you're probably wondering why I unstaked you. Elijah, I need your help."
"With what?"
"Saving Katerina. She's been kidnapped and if she wasn't useful to me I'd say 'thanks' to whoever took her, but I need her. She has information that I need."
"And what information is that?" Elijah asked.
"He's coming," Caroline said.
Elijah stood there in silence staring at Caroline. She would work with the woman she hated to help someone else.
"I know," Elijah simply said.
Caroline was shocked. "Wait you- you know?"
"Yes, why do you think I needed the doppelganger?"
"You were going to turn her over to him? For what? To get back in his good graces?" Caroline was angry with Elijah. She could count on one hand the times she had been angry with him, but never this angry.
"No, Caroline. To kill him."
Kill him? "What do you mean 'kill him'?"
"I've come to put an end to him."
"After he killed the doppelganger." Caroline wasn't asking, she understood completely.
"Yes."
"Why the sudden thirst for revenge?"
"He daggered my family. Our family, Caroline. He cast them into the ocean, never to be seen again. I don't want all our family has been through to be in vane."
Caroline had to think for a second. She needed Elijah's help, but she couldn't let Elena die. She was torn.
"Will you please help me? Together we can save Katerina and maybe even find a way to stop Klaus without killing Elena."
"Why is she of such value to you?" Elijah asked. He wanted to know why Caroline was willing to risk everything for a Petrova.
"Because she has something none of the others had. She actually has goodness in her. Nothing like Tatia or Katerina. She has people here who love her. She's one of my students. She shouldn't have to die," Caroline said.
Elijah thought about what Caroline said. He would agree to help her and find a way to stop Klaus without Elena dying.
"Very well. I'll help you. But if Klaus comes and we have no way to stop him, please understand, I'll have to take her to him," Elijah explained.
"And please understand, that I'll do everything in my power to stop you," Caroline responded.
"How did I know you'd say that? You're still the same, Caroline. Naturally good," Elijah said. She hadn't changed at all.
"Not as good as you think. Now let's go. We've got alot of looking to do," Caroline said.
As they were walking out Caroline stopped and said, "Elijah, about what happened a few nights ago, I never meant to-"
"Caroline. it's alright. I understand. You did what you had to."
Elijah. Always understanding when it came to Caroline.
"I know. I just- it's something I'll never forget."
And they both walked in silence and headed back to Mystic Falls.
It was dark when Klaus returned to the apartment. He saw that Katherine had gotten out of her chair. He wondered if she had tried to escape.
"Katerina...where are you?"
"I'm right here," Katherine said as she crept from the shadows. She may be dubbed an 'airhead', but she's not stupid. She knew better than to cross Klaus.
"Ah, I was hoping you'd stay. I'm only popping by to get this." He said as he snatched Katherine's bracelet off.
"I'm not going anywhere," Katherine said.
"Safe than sorry, dearie. Wouldn't want you taking advantage of the fact that I'm in this body,now would I?"
Klaus started to make his way to the door when Katherine asked, "where are you going?"
"Sorry cant tell you that. But while I'm gone, I need you to do something for me."
Katherine didn't like the sound of this. "What?"
Klaus grinned his sinister grin and compelled her saying, "I want you to sit in this chair...and stab yourself with this knife until I get back."
Katherine knew what this was. a test of loyalty. She took the knife. She knew this would hurt. But she had no choice. She took the knife, and stabbed her leg. She groaned in pain. She wanted to scream and cry, but she would not give klaus that satisfaction.
Klaus looked at her and grinned saying, "Good. See you later darling."
Then off he went. He had a moonstone to recover.
Caroline took the Salvatore's and Elijah to Elena's house. When Elena opened the door she saw Elijah and said, "What's going on?" She was afraid. She didn't feel like being kidnapped again.
"Elena, it's okay. He's on our side. He won't hurt you," Caroline assured Elena.
"Okay...why are you all here?" Elena asked.
"We need you to get Bonnie over here," Caroline said.
"Why?"
"We really don't have time to explain, but it's for your own good. Please trust me," Caroline said.
Elena looked over at Stefan and after he nodded his 'its okay' she invited them in and called Bonnie.
After Bonnie came, Caroline said, "We need you to do the locator spell again."
"why?"
"I can't explain, but trust me when I tell you it's in Elena's best interest that you help us," Caroline said.
"I'm not doing anything until you tell me what kind of 'danger' Elena is in," Bonnie said.
Caroline sighed. "Listen. I don't have time for this. Elena's life is in danger. That's all you or anyone else needs to know. So please, take Elena's blood and pour it over this map. Now."
At this point, Caroline didn't care if Bonnie was from a line of powerful witches. She needed Katherine. And wouldn't take any crap from anyone.
"Fine," Bonnie relented.
After using the spell, they found Katherine right in town? She was right there under their noses. This kidnapper obviously wasn't a very smart one.
"Okay, thank you for your help Bonnie. I promise I'll explain everything when we get back."
And with that, they left. Heading towards a apartment building in the middle of town.
When they reached the building, Caroline led the group inside. They started looking for the room Katherine was hidden in. When they found it, Damon pointed out "this is Alarics apartment."
"Why would she be in here?" Caroline said.
"let's find out." Stefan said.
Caroline knocked on the door. A man answered and said "can I help you."
"maybe you can. My name is Caroline. I teach with Alaric at the school and these are a few of mine and Alarics friends."
"Oh my name is James," said the man. He extended his hand out to Caroline to shake it.
"Sorry. Germaphobe," Caroline said. She knew this man was a witch and she didn't want teve found out.
"I see. May I ask why you've all come?"
"We here to check on him. He was sick the other day and we wanted to stop by and surprise him with some company. Is he here?"
"No. Not at the moment."
"Oh well may we come in and wait for him?"
James looked rather shaken at her question. but he thought they were humans so he didn't see any harm in it. Besides the Vampire was locked in the other room.
"Sure. Come in."
And they all stepped over the threshold. Damon and Stefan looked around while Elijah and Caroline stayed with the witch.
Then it hit her. Blood. She smelt it. They all smelt it.
She saw it on the carpet in front of her. Oh God, don't let it be Alarics. She leaned over and touched it. Katherine and Alaric must be here.
"Oh I'm sorry. There was an accident earlier and I forgot to clean it up." then he paused and said, "for a germaphobe you seem to not have a problem touching blood."
Caroline said, "oh did I say germaphobe? Sorry, I meant 'Vampire.'" And Elijah had him pinned to the kitchen wall.
Elijah tried compelling him to tell them who sent him, but the witch was on vervain. Caroline went into the room with Damon and Stefan looking for Alaric while they got Katherine. They tried to pull her out of the chair, but she couldn't move. She was compelled there.
Caroline noticed Alaric wasn't in the room. Where is he?
Then she heard someone walk in the apartment. It was Alaric.
Caroline went into the living room to him.
"Well, well, well what do we have here?" Klaus said.
"Alaric! You're alright. Who held you here? Is this why you were acting strange?" Caroline said. She was happy to see no harm came to Alaric.
Elijah walked in and said, "I could not compel him, nor would he explain anything so I disposed of him." Caroline knew what that meant.
Damon walked in and told Caroline, "she won't move. It's almost like she's been compelled."
"Compelled? By who?"
"we don't know. Whoever took her. But we have to get Ric out of here." Damon said.
"Alright," Caroline said.
Then Damon left to get his brother. Elijah followed behind Leaving just Caroline with Alaric.
"it's a shame you killed my accomplice here. He was a good one." Klaus said.
Caroline looked at Alaric. What was wrong with him?
"Alaric?" She asked.
"No I'm afraid your friend has loaned me his body for a while." Klaus said
"Who are you?" Caroline asked. If this wasnt Alarics body he would've had them pinned against the wall, strangling them, but she couldn't hurt Alaric.
"Oh darling, come now, it hasn't been that long has it?"
Caroline stared at him. Darling
The only other person who called her "darling" was...
"Look into my eyes,darling. You know who I am."
Caroline stared into his eyes. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. And Caroline had the gift to see into someone's soul through their eyes. And she saw this one.
"No. No, this can't be happening." Caroline stumbled back in terror.
"oh Im afraid it is." Klaus said walking up to her until her back was to the wall and he was an inch away from her. He was drinking in her scent. The one he missed so much.
"Klaus." Caroline couldn't believe it. What she's been trying to stop from happening has unfolded right in front of her eyes. Klaus was here. An inch away from her. His eyes burning into hers. She was paralyzed by it. Paralyzed by shock and fear. Shock that he was here. And fear of what was to come. And she couldn't get away from him.
And...scene! Wow!
