Hello! Been a long time since I've actually written anything but this came to me the other day so I've decided to try and get back into it. Sort of AU Klaroline mostly just going along with S4 but in a storyline Tyler did cheat with Hayley. Starts after 4x07 (their date). (Italics are thoughts). Sorry to any Tyler lovers out there but this is a Klaroline story and although there will be Forwood but I'll warn you it won't be good…

So without further ado, enjoy!

How to save a life

Chapter 1

Klaus pulled up outside Caroline's house and smiled at her. She was looking out of the window and seemed to be in deep thought. The sun caught in her face, making her appear more radiant than ever, reflecting in her green eyes and turning her hair into pure gold.

"We're here love." He chuckled as she looked over at him in surprise and confusion, noticing her surroundings and blushing gently.

"Thanks," She turned to get out of the car, only to see him already there, door open and hand outstretched to help her out. "Seriously?" She scoffed. He looked confused for a moment or two until she gestured at his hand, eyebrows raised.

"Sorry love, I assumed this is what gentleman did at the end of a date?" He said, hand still raised in front of her. Caroline was genuinely surprised by this, Matt had never done this for her, neither had Tyler, although her was a cheating jerk who probably didn't know how to spell gentlemen. She couldn't stop the smile that crossed her face as she took his hand and climbed out of the vehicle. Klaus held on to her hand a little longer than necessary as she stood up and although she didn't say anything the smile still remained. He walked her to the front door and grinned at her, his dimples making her look down at the ground and giggle.

"I hope you had an enjoyable time today with me love?" He looked a little nervous as he spoke, looking down and rubbing his palms together. What the hell is going on? Original Hybrids do not get sweaty palms.

"Yeah Klaus, it was actually a great date." At this he looked up and smiled again, making her swoon internally. God he's adorable when he does that. What the- Did I just call the enemy adorable?

"Right, well I'll be off then. I hope to see you again soon Caroline." He said, turning away with a half wave.

"Well, you know you could always come in for coffee? If you wanted, or not you know it's entirely your choice, yeah so…" She began to babble as he turned back to her, a soft smile crossing his face.

"As much as I would like to Caroline, I have to remind you that this is a first date and the rules state that we can't do the coffee thing until at least the third. You wouldn't want to break rules now would you Ms Forbes?" He teased gently, as she laughed jovially.

"The man who's broken every rule since the beginning of time is lecturing me? Okay then Mr Mikaelson, we'll compromise, second date is coffee on me tomorrow morning at the grill." Klaus looked surprised and Caroline suddenly blanched. God what am I doing? This was supposed to be a onetime thing! What if he says yes? What if he says no?!

"Alright then Caroline," He said suddenly nodding gently, instantly relaxing her. "You've got yourself a deal, 8 o'clock and I'm paying for the coffee. Goodbye love." He dropped a swift kiss on her knuckles before she could protest he had sped to his car and driven away, winking as he sped off home. Caroline let out a large breath of air, how one date in exchange for her friend's sanity turned into another at her behest she would never know. As she entered her house she froze, her vampire senses primed and ready as she heard someone moving around in her bedroom. It wasn't her mother and the scent was distinctly animal, she sped upstairs only to sigh loudly when she saw Tyler sitting on her bed. He was stinking drunk and had a hold of the drawing Klaus had made for her.

"Tyler, for God sake, what the hell are you doing here?" She sighed irritably; she did not want her happy mood spoilt by some cheating ex-boyfriend who was as drunk as Damon on a Friday night.

"Really Care-rer," He slurred drunkenly. "We broke up three, thee, tree- days ago and you're all 'ready set go'! Already doing the enemy… F-U-C-K-I-N-G KLAUS!" He yelled and stood up, getting right in her face. Grabbing her shoulders and giving her a shake, as she tried to back away from him.

"Tyler, what the hell? You have no right to come into my house and start yelling about screwing other people, since hello? You're the one who cheated with Hayley the werewolf skank? Secondly if Klaus and I were involved which we aren't, yet, it would be none of your business since we are no longer together." She ripped herself from his grasp and turned her back to him, reaching for her phone, which was vibrating on her pocket. She heard Tyler move behind her but thought nothing of it, until he started to growl, deeply and forcefully, the noise began to scare her, and as his face she yelped in fright dropping her phone to the ground. It smashed into several pieces and stopped the incessant buzzing.

"You may not be mine now," He hissed, fangs elongating. "But you will never be his, I'll see to that." And with that Caroline felt a crack and everything went black.

OoOoOoOoO
