First off, my love for you, my reviewers, knows no bounds, the response I got to the last chapter was so amazing that I had to write this straight away for you guys! I was gonna leave it a week so that I could sort out all my youtube collab parts and stuff but then I saw your reviews and had to write this! Please continue to leave reviews, they are like my motivation…with chocolate…and sprinkles ;)

Also lol at some of the reviews! So many people were like 'awkward threesome!' Lolol you guys are awesome and it was so hard not to make that happen in this chapter LOL!

Quick note about this chapter: I love the Salvatore brothers, but I believe both to have been pushed to their limits by the originals and I think if that had continued they could have gone down a dark path, I want to explore that slightly ;) BUT notice the gender of the person at the end of the chapter…you'll see what I mean…again ;)

Anyway gonna stop my babbling about a threesome with TWO JoMo's….ahhhhh

They were both rigid, like statues, assessing the other, thinking that if they moved the other would copy them, like a rippling reflection in the water, that would soon disappear, but when Niklaus's heart rate sped up and sweat started to appear on his forehead the same did not happen to his future self.

He raised a hand to his forehead to wipe the bead of sweat away which seemed to snap Klaus to his senses. He snatched Niklaus's hand and turned it over; watching as their palms matched exactly and he squeezed the man's hand tightly until he had to suppress a scream and released him like he had been burnt when he felt the pain as well.

"Caroline," They both said in unison, still staring at each other, "What is the meaning of this?"

Caroline tried to find the right words to explain herself but it was impossible, her eyes were trained to Niklaus, hearing his accelerating heartbeat and she clutched the sheet tighter around her body for comfort.

"Love," They both whispered, "Tell me now."

Klaus's voice was made of steel yet Niklaus stuttered the words, his eyes never leaving those of what he will become, he noticed the harshness of his body language and speech and tried to not be afraid.

Caroline let out a squeal when Klaus turned round to face her, his eyes shining with malice and he flashed towards her, pinning her against the mattress, his hands gripped her shoulders, keeping her in place and he shook her, impatient for answers.

It was the same position that he had found her and his human self in, yet this wasn't romantic, or sexual, it was threatening and her eyes blazed with fear and for a moment he felt smug, she had never looked at him this way before, he made a mental note to scare her more often then shook her again, almost snapping her neck in his frustration.

Niklaus staid silent, he couldn't process anything, he couldn't see anything, his vision was becoming black, and the last thing he thought was: Why am I still alive?

Klaus heard his human self fall to the floor and rolled his eyes, feeling embarrassed, "I wasn't used to anything supernatural," He explained before hitting her against the bed again.

"That's the second time you've done that," Caroline whispered, watching Niklaus's limp body.

A sarcastic laugh tore through Klaus's body, "Remember I asked you if you would prefer me if I was human?" He looked at Niklaus quickly and then back to Caroline, staring at her half revealed chest and smirking, "Guess we found our answer."

She tried to push him off of her but he was relentless and pressed himself further against her, his whole body threatening, "Why is he here?"

"Because you're a jerk," Caroline snapped.

"That is not enough of a reason."

"Let me get dressed," Caroline sighed, "Then we can talk about it downstairs."

"No," Klaus hissed, "You will get dressed, then we will go to mine and discuss it there," He released her and grabbed Niklaus, slinging him over his shoulder.

Caroline put her top back on quickly and buttoned her jeans, rushing after him.

"Klaus, he'll be safe with me, can't you just leave him here?" She asked pathetically.

Klaus stopped and she almost careened into his back.

"So you can fuck him again?"

"We actually haven't had sex," She said, her eyes on the floor trying to hide her embarrassment.

"Your right, we haven't." He turned slowly to face her, eyebrows raised, "I didn't realise you were so eager to change that."

She closed her hands into fists to try to stop her from shaking; she was so furious; angry at him for what he had done earlier and the fact that despite the situation he was still purposely provoking her.

"Why haven't you woke up yet?" She snapped gesturing to Niklaus.

Klaus grabbed his car keys from his pocket and carefully put his human self in the back seat, when Caroline tried to protest he slammed the car door shut.

"Would you have believed in this stuff when you were a human? No, thought not, and that is myself from centuries ago, do not believe me to be inferior simply because my human mind can't currently handle this situation."

"I bet getting a beating from your father didn't help," She said, then instantly regretted it, her eyes closed as she waited for Klaus to lash out, "I didn't mean it like that," She whispered.

"I know," Klaus said and pushed her into the passenger seat of the car.

She crossed her arms and stared out of the window as Klaus reversed the car and sped down the street, they remained in uncomfortable silence, Klaus was obviously focused on getting his one true weakness to safety.

Caroline heard Niklaus let out a small gasp and twisted in her seat, her fingers reaching out for the human in the back who grasped them immediately, clutching them so hard that if she was human he would have broken a bone.

"Guess this is why I wasn't allowed out of the house," He muttered, trying to lighten the situation and Caroline laughed weakly.

"Yeah, I suppose."

"What happens now Care?"

Klaus gripped the steering wheel tighter at the nickname and tried not to be consumed by this ridiculous jealously swelling in his chest, was he jealous of himself? How preposterous.

Caroline turned to look at Klaus, her hands squeezing Niklaus's lightly and she smiled sweetly at him when he kissed her palm. Klaus seemed to momentarily forget that he was driving as he stared at the couples entwined hands.

When he looked back up he saw Caroline bite her lip nervously.

"You do realise I just kissed you?" He said laughing humourlessly.

Niklaus flinched and dropped Caroline's hand, pushing himself further back in the seat, further away from her.

"You idiot," She hissed at Klaus, "We could have said you were his relative."

Klaus grinned, pretending that that thought had occurred to him, inside he felt stupid, she was right, he should have done that, it was the logical thing to do.

"You would have lied to me?" Niklaus whispered and when Caroline sighed and tried to meet his eyes he refused to look at her.

"You fainted again Niklaus!" She breathed, "I didn't think you'd be able to cope with this."

"I'm not weak," Niklaus and Klaus said at the same time and Caroline stiffened.

"That's really starting to creep me out."

Klaus chuckled but Niklaus staid silent and Caroline turned to face the front again as the car steadily approached the driveway.

"Brother!" Stefan called happily as he entered his house but he stopped when he saw Elena sitting on the couch, she stood up and went to move towards him but then seemed to reconsider and staid where she was.

"What can I do for you?" He asked pleasantly trying not to let his feelings overcome him, he had to talk to Damon, he had to finish off the hybrid.

"Damon's not here," Elena said nervously, fidgeting with her bracelet, "I wanted to see you. Stefan, listen to me, I know."

Matt's words about his and Elena's relationship flooded round him, enticing him to admit his love but when he opened his mouth she raised a hand.

"You and Damon sending Caroline out on a mission? That's sickening! How far gone can you both be?"

"Not that far gone," A voice said behind her and she turned to face Damon who was copying Stefan's image of leaning against a doorframe, looking nonchalant.

"We have brotherly issues to discuss," Stefan said motioning for Elena to leave, she look exasperatingly at Damon who merely smirked and then she walked out with her head held high.

When Stefan was sure Elena was out of earshot he said, "Caroline's his weakness, and it appears that Caroline has feelings for him."

"That's disgusting; I thought she was the nice one of our little group, your sure?"

"Of course I am. She looks at him the way we look at Elena."

"Brilliant, we have a traitor" Damon whistled, "But hurt Caroline and we will loose Elena, you willing to risk that brother?"

Stefan hit his head on the doorframe and closed his eyes, whispering, "No."

"We'll take her from him," Damon says walking towards Stefan with a drink in his hand.

Stefan remains silent.

"We can see how far he'll go to get her back, maybe walk into a stake repeatedly, that, I would love to see," Damon winked and drained the alcohol from his glass, setting it on the table, picking up a coin and tossing it to Stefan who effortlessly caught it.

"Coin toss for who snatches her?"

Stefan nods.

Klaus got out of the car and grabbed Niklaus by the back of his hair and pulled him inside quickly, glancing around him to make sure that no one witnessed them. This weakness could not be exposed.

Caroline ran behind them, begging Klaus to be gentler but he ignored her and continued down the stairs to the basement and Caroline stopped when she saw how identical it was to the Salvatore house with the prison cells.

Klaus threw Niklaus inside and the human scampered to the other side of the cell, his fists digging into his sides and Klaus paused with his hand on the door, he recognised the terrified facial look which showed it's awareness of violence, the way the fingernails digged into his palms, almost so hard that it would draw blood and how the hair covered most of the man's face, it was what he had done when Mikael would attack him, how he would look, trying to shield himself and accept the inevitable.

"One day," Klaus whispered so low that Niklaus had to strain to hear him, "He'll stop it."

"When?" Niklaus asked, pushing his hair away from his eyes, meeting Caroline's gaze, who stood behind Klaus, her hands on the man's shoulders and Niklaus instantly looked away.

"Can't tell you," Klaus said and shut the door slowly but before it was just about to close Caroline stopped him.

Her hand's moved from his shoulder and instead rested on the door, she looked back at him, a pleading look in her eyes.

"You can't keep him locked away like an animal."

"If it keeps me safe then I will," And with that he pried her fingers off of the door and locked it, walking away from his pathetic human self and the vampire who had feelings for it.

Caroline heard his footsteps echo on the stairs and she gripped the bars of the door tightly, trying to pry them apart but they were resistant to her strength and she leaned her head against the cool metal.

"I would say I can get him to change his mind," She muttered, "But he won't."

She waited for Niklaus to respond but instead he stared at the spot above her head defiantly.

"What's wrong with you? Why won't you look at me?"

"You're not him," Niklaus said his eyes finally meeting hers and she took a step back from the harsh impact of his mimicking, "You're so innocent. I understand what that means now. I become violent don't I? Cruel? I can see it, he acts as if this situation occurs in regular life, he is dangerous, I will soon turn into this essence of a man. Stalking around at night, in the shadows with no one to hold and no one to love, because I am not capable of it."

Caroline tried to reach for him but he was to far away and her hand fell limply back to her side and she watched as Niklaus stood up, advancing towards her, anger flashed in his eyes but she remained where she was.

"That's my future isn't it?" When she remained silent he banged his fists against the bars next to her head, "ISN'T IT?"

Klaus sat on the stairs, his foot tapping silently against the tile, trying to understand the purpose of his ever changing life. He remembered Stefan's words about a weakness, how Caroline was sent to uncover it.

"Klaus has a new weakness, we need to find that weakness, and we need to expose it."

But if that was the case why hadn't the man locked away been killed already? And why hadn't Caroline told her best friends about him? What was her reasoning?

Her shocked and betrayed face swam into focus yet again from when she had found him in the alley, his teeth pressed against the human teenager's neck, if it was just an act why did she look at him like that? As if he was a stranger?

He stood up, what if it wasn't an act? What if their date and the presence of his human self forced her to consider the possibility of them?

"You don't connect with people because you don't even try to understand them." Her voice from the Mikaelson party floated around him, pressing into his head.

He grabbed hold of the rails tightly, if she was considering them and seen that then the reason she'd almost been with Niklaus was because it was an easier choice, a one free from guilt.

"ISN'T IT?" Niklaus's scream shook the walls and Klaus raced downstairs to where Caroline was pressed against the wall, staring at him in shock.

"No," She whispered, tears leaking from her eyes as she shook her head repeatedly.

"You really want to be with that thing," Niklaus said blankly, pointing to Klaus who stood between them, shielding Caroline despite the prisons bars, "I'm just a mechanism for you to feel good about picking that creature!"

"Calm down mate," He said, "You're upsetting your lady."

"Don't you mean our lady?" Niklaus spat.

Caroline pushed Klaus away from her and rushed towards the staircase and left without looking back, she flung open the doors of the mansion and walked quickly into the forest, her visions blurring as she wiped the tears away from her eyes.

"Caroline!" She heard Klaus shout but she kept going, "Caroline!"

"Shut up!" She twirled round and screeched in the direction of the mansion, she couldn't see him but she was certain he had heard, a tree branch snapped behind her and suddenly a hand clamped over her mouth, stifling her scream.

"Trouble in paradise already?" A female voice hissed before snapping her neck.
