Caroline woke up with a hiss of agony as something was rammed into her hand, whimpering out. "Why are you doing this?"

Alaric shushed her, going. "Shut up."

She whimpered again, tears sparkling in her eyes, and Alaric scoffed. "Your tears won't work on me, hybrid fucker. I heard you and Rebekah. Sleeping with the enemy."

"But-"

"Shut up!"

-Marked-

He had to leave, he knew it.

Klaus stepped outside Carolines house, sighing as he knocked-

But he wasn't going without her and Elena. Or her blood, he was past caring. The doppelganger was nothing but bad luck and trouble now.

Klaus frowned as the door remained closed, stepping back and calling. "Caroline!"

The place was silent.

He rolled his eyes- still at the school no doubt.

So now, he returned to his doppelgangers house, knocking on the door and waiting.

It opened now, finding himself facing Jeremy. The hybrid cocked his head, asking. "Your sister here young Jeremy?"

"Go to your room."

Klaus smirked as his old friend appeared, standing before him. "Where's Elena?"

"Why are you here?"

The hybrid shrugged. "I'm skipping town. Just picking up a few things. A few loose ends."

"Oh? Like your fuckbuddy blonde cheerleader?"

Klaus' eyes narrowed as Damon stepped forwards, smirking. "Or did she grow bored of you already?"

"I've not finished with her yet."

"Well go fuck her somewhere else Dog."

Stefan rolled his eyes, ignoring their banter, asking. "You never answered. Why do you want Elena?"

"Well, I just said. I'm leaving. Taking my doppelganger and my-" he smirked at Damon once more. "My cheerleader."

"Nope, can't help." Damon went, slamming the door in his face.

Klaus stepped back and hissed in annoyance, yelling. "I think you're going to want to let me in!"

He listened to the clatters inside, stalking back and looking back to the house, eyes narrowing-

So infuriating.

He snatched up a rolled up newspaper now, throwing it through the window with a yell of. "Salvatores! I'm waiting!"

There was no reply, so he glanced around, a sly smirk appearing upon his face as he spotted a football, grabbing it and throwing it through the door, smashing it open, calling. "I'm still waiting!"

When he was shunned once more, he yelled. "Where is Caroline?"

Another no answer.

Klaus' temper rose now to a fever pitch, doubling back and going to the opposite white picket fence, shaking it and smirking once more, finding it loose. He tore them free of the nails, stalking back to the door and throwing one, growling. "I'm running out of patience boys!"

"Caroline isn't here!" Damon yelled, yanking a bracket off the wall and threw it at the hybrid who dodged neatly, throwing one in retaliation. Klaus ignored what he thought was a lie, throwing some more, running out and going round the back of the house now missing its fence, grabbing a can of gasoline and set the newspaper alight, stalking back up the steps, about to set the place alight when Stefan appeared in the doorway, going. "Stop it."

"Come out here and face me then." Klaus glared. Stefan said nothing, but when he stepped out, he told the hybrid. "Neither are here. Alaric has them at the school. He wants to trade you for-"

Klaus growled in annoyance, tossing the flaming newspaper down, hissing. "Where's Caroline?"

"Your cheerleader is being tortured." Damon said sweetly, stepping outside and Klaus smirked. "Still calling her my cheerleader?"

"Mmmhmm. Your fuckbuddy blonde cheerleader."

-Marked-

Caroline sniffed back tears as the vervain rag in her mouth stung, looking to Elena, eyes pleading. Elena looked to Alaric now, shaking her head. "So what if she did sleep with Klaus!"

At that, Alaric smirked and stood up, scoffing. "She told me she killed someone… and liked it. And now she slept with that monster?" he smirked. "Klaus will come for her. I'm sure."

Caroline listened, internally hoping that he cared that much.

If he came for her… he loved her.

If he didn't, she'd never talk to him again.

It was as she was thinking that she suddenly heard Alaric yelling in agony, hissing as Elena yanked the rag from her mouth, the pencils pulled from her hand as they ran.

Elena yelled for Caroline to go ahead, so she did, running out and crashing into someones chest, squealing, but there was a voice in her ear. One that should have scared her, but at this moment, made her feel so… safe.

"It's ok love, it's only me. You're safe." Klaus muttered into her ear, spinning her around and cupping her face in his hands, going. "Run home. Now. You'll be safe there. I'll be back soon, I'm leaving and you're coming with me. No arguing."

Caroline closed her eyes as he leaned forwards, pressing a soft and sweet kiss to her lips, muttering. "Now love. Run."

She paused, leaning up and kissing him back for a moment, whispering. "I love you."

Klaus chuckled, smoothing her hair back with a hand, looking into her eyes, going. "Go. Now." He pressed a kiss to her forehead, muttering. "I love you too."

After that, she was gone in a flash.

-Marked-

When Caroline got home, she fumbled with the lock, opening the door and slamming it behind her, heart racing against her chest.

She swallowed hard, closing her eyes as she leaned against the door, realizing-

She was running away with a hybrid.

Caroline's eyes widened as she remembered Tyler.

God… what had she been thinking-?

But Klaus, he was a new kind of love or whatever. She really cared for him. The Original Hybrid who never thought anyone would ever love him. He was messed up, more than a little.

He needed someone to care for him, at least, try to tame him.

Was that her?

The one who would… try to tame him?

Was it even possible?

She sat down on the sofa, running a hand through her hair, hearing a little while later a knock at the door.

Caroline got to her feet, running to the door, opening it, expecting to find Klaus.

It wasn't, but Tyler.

"Oh." Caroline went, and Tyler sighed, shaking his head. "I'm not staying long. I just want to say Goodbye."

"Wha-?" Caroline scowled, shaking her head. "Where are you?"

"Look- I know about you and Klaus." Tyler butted in, shaking his own head. She just went. "Oh."

Tyler sighed once more. "I'm not going to argue. It's too pathetic for that. Just…" he rolled his eyes. "I don't care. I'm past caring. Have a happy life." He smirked slightly. "Since Klaus is dead, have fun on your own."

He walked off and Carolines eyes widened, calling. "Tyler!"

The hybrid ignored her, and dread entered Carolines head at his words-

Klaus was dead-?

No.

No.

That couldn't be… possible-?

When Elena arrived after a little while, she demanded of her.

"Where is Klaus?"

Elena sighed, going. "He's dead."

Caroline spluttered. "D-dead-?"

"Yes." The doppelganger nodded, rolling her eyes. "Desiccated. Stefan and Damon are on the road to throw him in the Arctic."

"What did you all do to him-!"

"Do you remember how Mikael was?"

"Yes-? All… manky and deady and stuff?"

Elena nodded again and Caroline frowned. "All you need to do is feed them blood, and he'll be alive again?"

The doppelganger shut up now, and suddenly realized she'd spilled too much, not realizing just how much the blonde cared about the hybrid-

Klaus had saved her…

She had to save him in return.

Elena yelled after her as she blurred off. "There's nothing you can do Caroline!"

"I can try!"

-Marked-

Damon swore as he ended the call, groaning and shaking his head. "Fuck-!"

Stefan frowned at that, going. "Who was that?"

The elder brother sighed, closing his eyes and leaning his head back. "Elena spilled to Caroline."

"Wh-? About Klaus?"

Damon glanced back at the coffin, hissing. "Yes."

"Well, what can she do?" Stefan frowned and Damon shook his head. "Probably nothing, but eh. I suppose-"

But the back of the car was suddenly rammed into now, making Damon jolt forwards, going. "The hell was that-?" he looked out the rear window, going. "I think Miss Cheerleader wants her fuckbuddy hybrid back."

Stefan glanced back now, seeing the determined eyes of the blonde vampire, hissing. "Is she out of her mind-?"

"I don't think she's operating on all levels at the moment."

Caroline rammed the car again, making Damon yell. "For gods sake woman!"

Stefan swerved, missing another ram, but then felt the bumper clip the rear, slamming the breaks and the car tilted, turning over and smashing onto its side, rolling down into the ditch after a few violent crunches and screeches of tarmac.

It all went silent after that, and Caroline jumped out the car, speeding forwards and ripping the door off, yanking the coffin in the back open, pulling the person inside out and was back at her car in an instant, the man in the back, speeding away-

Fuck the vampires in the car.

-Marked-

Caroline drove for miles, ending up at a motel in the middle of nowhere, compelling them a room and heaving the hybrids body into it, placing him on the bed.

She sat on the end of it now, eyes wide, staring at the floor-

What had she just done-?

Oh god. Damon would kill her now.

They all would.

She and Klaus were going to have one hell of a talk tomorrow.

Caroline looked to the hybrid as he lay there, eyes closed, his face not looking at all peaceful. She sighed lightly, raising a hand and running it over his cheek, thinking-

She could take him back now. Get on with her life.

Or she could wake him up…

Who knew what would happen then?

But Caroline raised her wrist to her mouth, biting down and moved it to his lips, muttering. "Come on. Blood is blood. Just drink it."

It seemed like forever, but eventually she saw his throat contract a little, hearing a light cough as his eyes opened a little, hands shooting up and grabbing her arm, tearing into it, ignoring her hiss of pain.

Before he had chance to drain her completely, Caroline managed to yank her arm away, whimpering as she stared at the bite, growing and spreading like poison up her arm.

"Klaus-" she groaned, sitting back on the bed, breathing heavy as she flexed her fingers, feeling nothing.

The hybrid heaved himself into a sitting position, eyes golden and both sets of fangs out, but not bared at her as he raised a hand to his heart, coughing for a moment, groaning as he raised the other to his head, winding into his hair.

He now looked around to Caroline, and she watched his eyes turn from gold to their normal sky blue. Klaus seemed almost dozy Caroline noticed as he leaned forwards, resting his head on her shoulder, muttering. "I feel rough. I need to sleep."

"Not the only one." Caroline muttered, and Klaus' eyes flickered down to her bite, sighing and raising his arm. "Just bite me love."

Normally, she would have refused, snarled at him too. But this time, she bit into it swiftly for a moment, letting it go after a second, feeling her bite heal up.

Klaus lay back down on the bed now, closing his eyes, muttering. "What did you do?"

"Excuse me?"

"Well… I hardly believe that the Salvatores would just give you my body. Tell me love, why save me?"

Caroline lay down next to him, turning onto her side to face him, going. "You tell me."

Klaus was silent, but he leaned forwards, touching his lips gently to her own, muttering against them. "Thank you, Sweetheart." He pulled her into his arms, resting his head on the motel pillow and closed his eyes as she turned the lamp off, pulling the thin covers over them, thankful for his already warm embrace.

All Caroline could do was raise a hand, running her slim fingers through his hair, leaning forwards and pressing a kiss to his cheek, going quietly as she nestled into his chest, closing her eyes-

"My pleasure Klaus."
