"So what… you're, sleeping with Klaus-? Have you lost your mind?"

Caroline ignored Elenas words as she marched through the corridor to her locker, scoffing. "Just… forget it!"

"Of course we can't!" Bonnie scowled, holding the locker shut as Caroline went to open it, adding. "I just want to know one thing; Did he force you, or did you let him?"

The blonde vampire said nothing, and Elena went quietly. "Caroline, please… say you didn't let him-?"

Caroline snapped at that, yelling at the pair as she yanked the locker open, making Bonnie flinch back, shaking her head in disgust, stalking off going. "After everything he's done, you let him do that? You're the worst person I know."

The witch stalked off, and Caroline felt tears spring to her eyes as she just shoved her books back into the thing, locking it and yelling at Elena before the girl could say anything-

"Fine, whatever! Think me a slut! At least I don't go around jumping between brothers!"

Elena was speechless as the vampire next to ran off out the school, letting out a heavy sigh-

She wanted to believe that Klaus had forced her…

But she doubted it.

-Marked-

Caroline utterly gave up, walking into the woods in the hope of calming down, tears still sparkling on her cheeks and at the corner of her eyes.

She stopped beside a stream now, kicking a stone into its depths, watching her reflection ripple. But then she frowned, cocking her head at it, realizing with wide eyes someone had stopped behind her.

The vampire turned, fangs bared and eyes dark, not in the mood at all, but her wrists were captured and herself yanked forwards, the man saying quietly. "Calm down love. It's only me."

Caroline did calm it a little, but then she yanked herself away, snarling. "No, how dare you ask me to calm it when it was you that fucking got me in this position! Bastard!"

Klaus looked thoughtful, going. "Well, technically, I am a bastard. My parents-"

"Don't you try and get smart with me you fuckfaced hybrid."

He chuckled at that, cocking his head at her. But as he noticed the tears, a light frown appeared. "Have you been crying?"

"No." She swiftly lied, wiping them away hurriedly, but knew there was no point. He'd seen them, and knew she was lying.

"So what if I was huh?" Caroline told him, staring into his ocean colored eyes. The hybrid was silent, but then raised his hands, cupping her cheeks and brushing away a new tear with his thumb, once more cocking his head as he answered.

"I care. That's what."

"You don't know the meaning of it." Caroline told him, just staring into his eyes, unable to stop staring into them. And it held true for the hybrid too, mesmerized by her own. Noticing they were like jewels while tears swam within them.

"Really? Is that so hard to believe?" Klaus asked, leaning forwards until their noses were nearly touching. Caroline closed her eyes so she couldn't see those eyes again, muttering. "Let me go."

"No." Klaus whispered, crossing the last inch and pressing his lips gently back to her own for a moment, tasting strawberry lip gloss and sneaking in another one, chuckling against them. "Your lips taste so sweet love."

"It's called lip gloss Sherlock."

"I know, and-" he kissed her again, lingering for a moment to taste her lips again, chuckling lightly. "–never change it."

Caroline had no idea to answer that, or the energy to kiss him back, or even slap him.

She should have slapped him.

But she didn't.

Klaus raised his hand a little more from her cheek, brushing her golden curls away so he could see her face, smiling lightly. "You should have your hair up more. It shows off just how beautiful your eyes are."

Caroline pulled away at that, shaking her head, muttering. "This is all too weird. I can't love you, Klaus. I can't even think about trying! My friends … they hate me. And it's your fault!"

The hybrid was silent for a minuet, or maybe two. But he eventually said.

"You forget, I gave you the option of backing out."

She knew he spoke the truth. He had… she'd…

Well, she'd let him do all this to her.

Felt no regret either.

Caroline was torn.

If she kissed Klaus back now, that old life, fighting him… that would be gone. A new life. A more dangerous one.

If she walked away, she knew she would never be able to allow him to get killed. Another new life… filled with guilt.

Whether it was a second, or a year, she didn't know. But what she did know was that she, grabbed the front of his dark coat, pulling him to her, crashing his lips back to her own in a passionate kiss.

"I care about you, Caroline." He muttered against her lips as they broke apart for a second, making her sigh and raise a finger to his lips, shaking her head. "Just… don't say anything."

He pushed her against the nearest tree, making it shake a tad, pausing for a second, but then was back at her lips in a flash, grinding against her while going to her neck, kissing it with a hungry passion, Caroline closing her eyes, her heart pounding against her chest.

"Oh Klaus-!" she breathed, eyes squeezing even more tighter closed, trying to stop herself from feeling so turned on by how he was grinding against her. But he knew just what she liked, what pressed her buttons.

A light moan escaped her as he went to the sensitive spot under her ear, nipping at it, biting her lip a second as his hand sneaked down, rubbing the front of her jeans hard, making her mutter. "Klaus, please-!"

"I thought you were the one who didn't want words spoken?" he muttered into her ear, tugging at her lobe with his teeth, running a finger along the waistline of her jeans and slipping a hand between them, Caroline wanting to tell him to stop now… but deep down, she kept her mouth shut as his hand invaded more and more of her most private area.

God did she want him.

So bad it hurt.

Caroline pushed her hips more into his hand, muttering. "Just…"

"Make you regret? My pleasure-" Klaus growled huskily, roughly shoving in two fingers into her hot core, making her breath catch in her throat, muttering. "Oh god-!"

Klaus never mentioned the 'God' thing again, satisfied she was growing moister, tilting her head back as he went to her neck once more, kissing it with a fiery passion.

She said nothing, but gasps of pleasure escaped her lips at a regular pace, muttering. "Stop teasing me."

He smirked at her words, making her gasp louder as he suddenly pushed his fingers in deeper, brushing her sensitive bud, making her cry out. "Please!"

"Oh? Are you begging now?"

Caroline refused to answer that, so Klaus rubbed her in a more persuasive and sensual manner, making her groan. "Please-"

Klaus just leaned forwards, whispering into her ear. "Tell me you want it, here and now, and I will."

"Klaus, please, I-"

"Holy shit, slut and the beast."

Caroline gasped for a whole new reason now, looking around with alarmed eyes to see a figure there, looking surprised himself, eyes full of hate.

"Damon-" Caroline muttered, backing off so the hybrids hand was torn from inside her, heart racing.

Damon stared at the pair, shaking his head in disbelief. "You're fucking him?"

Klaus cocked a brow at that, smirking at the vampire. "Well, I was going to. Before you came along and became an instant turn off. But then again, your face is anyway."

There was silence as Damons eyes narrowed, and Caroline went, standing between them. "Just-"

"Oh I wasn't planning on fighting." Damon spat, smirking at the hybrid. "Unless he touches me with that hand. I will punch him then."

Klaus smirked. "Try it."

"Eurgh, no thanks man. I know where you've been." Damon smirked, looking to Caroline, snapping. "At least we know what side you stand on. Or should I say between his legs."

"Damon-"

"No, no." Klaus suddenly said, staring at the vampire. "She's at liberty to have sex with whoever she wants."

"Huh." Damon scoffed, looking back at Caroline. "You're just like Katherine."

Klaus' eyes flashed gold at that, going. "Excuse me?"

Damon just walked off, smirking to himself, making Caroline go to the hybrid. "I gotta go- I'm more than late for clearing up."

The hybrid made no attempt to stop her.

-Marked-

Caroline ignored Rebekah as she walked into the hall, sighing lightly.

The Original snorted, going. "You're late."

A scowl later, and Caroline went. "By only a few minuets!"

"I didn't even attend the dance, and guess what? I was early."

"Good for you (!)"

"And you were out there getting sexed up by my brother."

Caroline froze at that, about to retort that she hadn't, but Rebekah went. "Don't try to lie. You smell like wet dog and shame, aka, my brother. He has that effect on women he screws."

A growl later, Caroline threw down the can, snarling. "Look, I've had enough of everyone going on and on and fucking on at me! I'm not having it off you as well!"

Rebekah chuckled, tipping the bottles into the bin, going. "I wasn't going to mock you. If you want to screw my brother, be it. Your actions are your own, as are his."

Neither said nothing after that, and eventually, Caroline sighed, muttering. "I'll be back in a moment."

Caroline walked into the corridor, hugging her arms to her as she sighed-

No doubt Elena and the others knew about her… fumble in the woods by now.

God, she was an outcast.

There was footsteps now, and she looked up, eyes wide to see the figure at the end of the corridor.

Oh shit.

Alaric.

Caroline ran for it, cursing herself, feeling the man grab her from behind, slamming her elbow back and into his face, making him let her go for a second.

Now Rebekah, drawn by the noise, grabbed Alaric, Caroline snatching the stake and next to ramming it into his chest.

The girls eyes widened as he hissed, but didn't die.

"Oh god-" Caroline muttered, turning with the Original and running for it.

As she reached her car, she heard a rush, then a snap, everything going black.
