Ceaa: Thank you my dear, here you go! :D

justine: Ooh yes I know, his character is quite psychotic but it had to be for the purposes of the story I'm afraid. :( Ah my lovely you shall just have to wait and see! But here's another for you.

Guest: Well he hasn't actually hit her yet deary, but no, I will not write about something so horrific. Rape is something that will definitely not be in this story, sorry if that spoils anything but I do not condone it and do not wish to glorify it by putting it in my story. And you are right, Caroline is definitely too strong to tolerate something like that. Thanks for the review and I hope this clears up your worries!

Thank you all for reviewing! This next chapter is dedicated to you all, enjoy!

Chapter 2

Caroline opened her eyes, her head and neck aching painfully as she attempted to lift herself from the floor. Disorientated, she finally began to focus on her surroundings and realised she was still in her bedroom. What happened? Then she remembered, Tyler! That son of a bitch had snapped her neck! Her thoughts came to a halt as she felt another presence beside her. Thinking it was Tyler, she prepared herself for round two and, forgetting her injuries, she sprang up to attack, stopping as she saw Stefan, who was crouched next to her, falling backwards and speedily jumping back up.

"Caroline?" He said shocked, a look of worry on his face. "Are you alright? I've been calling you for the last 4 hours and when I come over to check on you I find you unconscious on the floor with your phone smashed to pieces. Then when you finally come around you attack me? What happened?" Caroline, who was still slightly groggy, dropped her defensive stance and move slowly to her bed. She dropped herself slightly in the centre of it and held her head in her hands, reaching down to massage the sensitive kinks in her neck. She felt the bed dip slightly alongside her, and sighed mercifully as Stefan handed her a blood bag, tearing it open and drinking it greedily as the strength returned to her body. Throwing the empty bag to the floor, she smiled up at Stefan, who still looked concerned, and thanked him.

"Now Caroline, you want to tell me what happened?" He said, taking a deep breath in preparation. She just smiled sadly back.

"It was Tyler," Caroline whispered sadly. "Tyler did this to me Stefan. And I don't even know why." She began to cry as Stefan pulled her into his arms, holding her gently and softly speaking words of consolation as she sobbed the whole story into his chest. When the sad tale was over, she sat up and wiped her eyes with her sleeve. Suddenly a thought occurred to her; her phone had been ringing while Tyler was here? Was that Stefan calling then?

"What did you call me for Stefan?" She asked gently, voice still strained from the previous tears. Stefan didn't seem to understand her though.

"Call you?"

"Earlier you said you had been calling and I assume it was you calling when, well you know, but I just wondered why? Is there another Elena emergency?" She explained as he let out a soft laugh.

"To be honest Care, I'd forgotten all about that by the time I got to your house. But yeah, you could call it that I guess. She's moved into my house and I don't want to see her with Damon when we've just broken up so I was wondering if I could crash here? But it's alright if there's too much going on for you right now." He made to stand up but was dragged down by Caroline's arms going around him in a tight hug.

"Are you kidding me? Of course you can stay here! If anything I'm even more self-conscious about being left alone here now then I was before. Now let's both stop wallowing and we'll go veg out on the couch and have a drink, okay?" Caroline smiled as he laughed at her, nodding his head agreeably. As they moved to the front room he told her all about the newest developments with the 'Salvatore/Elena' triangle. She was glad they were friends on days like this; she knew she could come to him with anything and he would not judge her. She also admired the fact that he told her his fears and troubles even if they were about Elena, always in the knowledge that she was one of her best friends and could tell her at any time. She enjoyed having him as an 'older brother' type, having never had any siblings of her own, ever since he first taught her to hunt and helped her through the difficult stages of her transition, Caroline had looked up to him and felt she owed it to him to be there for her in return. When they were both settled, Caroline poured Stefan a large tumbler of brandy and then another for herself

"So," He said, as they sat down on opposite couches in the lounge. "How was the 'date' with Klaus?" Stefan smirked slightly as Caroline looked down at the floor and blushed lightly.

"It actually was quite enjoyable, we umm, we're going out for coffee tomorrow morning." She replied hesitantly. Caroline was no fool, she knew of Stefan and Klaus' past together and their 'friendship' which had turned sour since their reunion, but she couldn't help but think that of all the interactions she had observed with Klaus, his and hers, were the most honest and meaningful. Stefan however seemed quite at ease.

"Caroline," He hushed, sensing her unease. "I have no right to judge you. After all this time I still consider Klaus my ally and at times a friend, term used loosely of course, if you choose to spend your time willing with him then that is up to you. I will however warn you to consider your choices carefully when it comes to him; he is 'Niklaus Mikaelson the Original Hybrid' after all. As you've seen he has quite the obsessive, possessive and passive aggressive nature, and although that may be a good thing when it comes to your safety, you shouldn't throw yourself in the ocean if you're not prepared for the strong currents. I don't want you ending up hurt because of your kind heart. And I won't pretend that everyone is going to be as excepting of it as I if you do choose to start a real relationship with him. But, I do promise to stay your friend regardless of any choices." At this Caroline, raised her glass in the air and gestured for Stefan to do the same.

"To, the best speech I have ever heard you make, crazy ex-boyfriends, dates with mass murderers and depressing break up stories, leading us to this very point in time." She chinked her glass with his as he laughed loudly at her outburst. She really did remind him of Lexi sometimes and although he missed his old friend, he was glad of his new one.

"Also," He added. "To the guy who invented brandy and alcohol in general, without which none of us would be the same. Cheers!" They cried loudly laughing as the effects of the liquor warming their spirits slightly.

OoOoO

Later on, after Caroline had fixed Stefan a bed on the sofa and said goodnight, she traipsed into her room and picked up her phone that had been repaired earlier in the evening. She switched on the screen and saw that she had a message. Opening it up, she read it and smiled cutely. It was from Klaus.

Just wanted to say that I'll be picking you up instead tomorrow morning at 7.45 love, so be ready for me. ;) – K

She laughed as she re-read the text and sent him a quick reply.

I thought I was meeting you there? What if I wanted to walk, I really could use the exercise you know after all that alcohol today. ;) – C

Almost as soon as she'd text him he texted back, his reply making her roll her eyes.

Honestly sweetheart, someone as lovely as you doesn't need exercise. But if you're worried I can think up some activities for us to do together. ;) – K

As much as she was enjoying their banter, her eyes were beginning to droop so she replied quickly and began getting ready for bed.

Seriously? Can you not behave even whilst texting Mr Mikaelson? ;) Now I've G2G, really must get some beauty sleep before tomorrow. – C

Caroline went into the bathroom and brushed her teeth, the one thing she hated about being a vampire was the stains around her canines that she almost always seemed to get. Thank god for electric toothbrushes. As she finished up and climbed into her pyjamas her phone flashed. Retrieving it, she climbed into her bed and read the newest text.

Mortified to have caused offense Ms Forbes, even though you could not sleep for years and your beauty would remain unaffected, I would not wish to prevent your resting. Night love, have sweet dreams of me. ;) – K

Shaking her head and sighing, Caroline replied swiftly, and placed her phone upon the bedside cabinet. She closed her eyes, still smiling as she began to drift off. The message just sent still glowing on the screen of her phone.

Flattery will get you everywhere. G'night, Klaus. – C

OoOoO
