You, my lovely reviewers, are like my own personal army of spoons against my writers block, mwahahah we showed that evil litter bugger, I'm properly back now! With a good length of a chapter and some serious Klaroine scenes ;) Ahhhh we are back in JoMo heaven guys, WE ARE BACK!

As per usual your reviews keep me motivated so please keep them coming, remember you are my own army guys, lol to all of you who offered to buy me bigger spoons, you guys are so epic! :D

Now to stop my rambling about spoons, which is a bit weird I know, I'll let you actually read this hehe, also for those of you who are confused why Katherine turned up I thought I'd quickly clear it up:

It's Katherine. I love her, had to include her.

She hates Klaus…I THINK he killed her family (can't really remember…) trying to kill Caroline was her revenge, she was also wanted her freedom…which I highly doubt she's gonna get… good luck Katherine…..have a spoon it might help you defeat him.

OH MY GOD I NEED TO STOP ABOUT SPOONS! … ENJOY XD (P.S Quick reminder if Niklaus dies Klaus dies. Also there are no spoons in this chapter. I'm upset I didn't include them.)


Caroline smiles as he steps out of the forest, the soft moonlight illuminating his face, she bites her lip as she realises that his eyes are full of relief.

"Well that was weird," She said motioning to the Salvatore house and crossing her arms walking towards him.

"Understatement of the century Caroline," He says stiffly glaring at one of the windows of the house where he sees the outline of the two brothers.

He smirked, Katherine must have run away scared only moments ago, it's a shame he missed her. His gaze rests on Caroline when she stands in front of him, he reaches out for her weakly, his hands brush the side of her arms delicately, then reach up to cup her face, he studies her intently.

"Are you sure you're alright?"

His breath is so close and she closes her eyes, for once not feeling guilty about his touch, she raises her hand to hold his, "I'm here aren't I?" She sighs opening her eyes and staring at him.

He surprises her by pulling her into a hug, his fists clench her jacket tightly and she giggles shyly, then his hand travels down to wrap around her waist as he pulls her closer, Niklaus wouldn't touch her like that, with such confidence and possessiveness and she immediately shoves him away gripping her hair, Niklaus.

"Where is he?" She asks panic flooding through her, "Please tell me you didn't leave him alone, unprotected."

Realisation dawns on Klaus and he grabs Caroline's hand, rushing towards his mansion, how stupid could he be? He would have let his petty jealously ruin everything? Ruin the life he now so desperately craved?

But Caroline's quicker then him, how is that possible? He sees the determination and worry on her face, he's still on the outskirts of the forest when she turns round from his front door, they're separated from several feet and he bows his head slightly, indicating that she can proceed alone.

"Thank you," She whispers and closes the door behind her, vanishing inside and heading towards his human self, the man he hates most in the world.

Klaus grabs his phone; dialling the number he needs to save his and Caroline's tumbling state of a relationship.

She picks up on the first ring, "What do you want?" Her voice is like ice, similar to Caroline's when he first met her.

"Elena, that's no way to formalise a greeting."


She finds him banging his fists against the cage, swearing that he'll find Klaus and end him, she's shocked, yet again by his anger, when she had first met him she had believed him to be untouched by rage, she kept forgetting about the man he would turn out to be.

He froze the second he laid eyes on her, a smile lit up his face and he stretched his hand out through the bars to her, she smiled warmly and twisted the lock off of the cage door and stepped inside.

He grabs her hand and pulls her towards him, placing a kiss on her forehead, "I'm so sorry," He mutter's, kissing her left cheek, "I take back what I said," He kisses her other cheek, "Please forgive me."

"Hey, shhh it's alright," She says stepping out of his embrace before he can kiss her lips, he falters a little and she shakes her head, "This is so much to take in, I feel like I'm loosing it a little bit."

He laughs and strokes her hair, "My future self is upstairs, I'm the one who's lost my mind. And I have the most beautiful creature in front of me, safe and sound, no damage done; I am truly sorry Caroline for my outburst earlier. When I thought you died I was so angry, I thought," He stutters before taking a breath and proceeding, his eyes tightly shut, "That your death is what made me that thing."

"He's better then you think," She says gently.

"You believe that?"

She nods and he smiles, "Then maybe there is hope for me yet."

Niklaus squeezes Caroline's hands tightly when he hears the floorboards above his head creak but when he looks back at Caroline her gaze seems transfixed on the door, waiting for Klaus to appear.

He's carrying an easel, a paintbrush and several paints, ignoring them both he sets them inside the cage and turns away, ready to leave again.

"I'll get bored soon," He jokes and Niklaus stiffens.

"We are not the same person," He hisses.

Klaus laughs, "Stop being stupid mate."

"Klaus," Caroline breathes and removes herself from Niklaus's grip, "Do not fight Stefan. Don't you dare, I swear I'll-"

"Hit me with your handbag?"

"That's sexist!"

She follows him out of the cage and Niklaus watches her shut the door behind her and wave at him, an apologetic expression on her face before she leaves him.


"Please Klaus;" She begs catching up to him on the stairs and pulling on his jacket like a child, "I'll do anything."

"Anything?" He turns round and looks her up and down, smirking.

"You're disgusting."

Before she can react he wraps his arm around her waist, grasping her tightly, he lowers his lips to her neck and she involuntarily moans then clamps a hand around her mouth when he releases her.

"You seem to like it, anyway Stefan's given up on the idea already, I'm a bit upset about it actually," He walks down the hallway, opening his bedroom door and stepping inside, "Who knew one call from Elena would stop his brooding?"

Caroline leans against the wall whilst Klaus sits on the floor in front of his chest of draws, opening each one and chucking several clothes behind him.

"How did Elena know? She wasn't there."

"I called her."

Caroline's stunned, "Why?"

"You don't want me to kill your friend do you?" He says opening another draw, oblivious to her reaction, "I knew Elena would beg him to run back to her and he did, with his tail between his legs, pathetic actually."

"You did that for me?"

"I'd do anything for you," The words are out of his mouth before he can stop them and he feels Caroline's presence beside him on the floor, he turns his head to face her but before he can even blink she's grabbed hold of his jacket collar and leant towards him, her lips finding his.

Her other hand snakes round to loose itself in his hair and he grabs her waist, pulling her onto his lap, her legs wrap around his waist and she moans when his tongue enters her mouth.

"What are you doing?" He stops the kiss and asks her huskily, his eyes full of Caroline, she's breathless and she seems to be considering his words, he curses himself for asking and before she can respond he kisses her neck, her hair falls to the other side of her face and she closes her eyes.

"I'm thanking you."

Klaus kisses his way up to her lips again and captures them with his own, her legs squeeze his waist tighter and he runs a hand up them, laying her carefully on the floor, his body hovers over hers and her hands wraps around his neck and she sighs contently into the kiss.


Niklaus picks up the paintbrush, he's thankful for Klaus's gesture but he won't show it, the beast still disgusts him, he begins to paint the canvas in black, that thing he will become truly terrifies him.

His paintbrush becomes enveloped in the gold paint and he begins to create her face, the one of his saviour, he's convinced that she'll stay with him and help him become a better person, he can see it happening already, she had walked away from him easily only moments before to follow his future self.

"Such a sensitive action," The witches voice floats towards him and he drops his paintbrush in shock, the supernatural creature forms from the black smoke behind him, but he does not look, he refuses to let her see his fear.

"I suppose you're here to kill me?"


Caroline rakes her nails down Klaus's back and his kiss becomes filled with more passion, he hasn't understood her lack of response yet, she feels dizzy, dizzy that she sparks this much of a reaction in him but there's a gnawing feeling in her stomach, and she can't decide if she likes it or not.

"Not necessarily."

She freeze's, her hands drop from Klaus and he looks at her quizzically, his smirk vanishing when she points to her ear then to the floor.

"What's your purpose then?"

They look at each other and their feet pound on the floor as they run to the basement together, but when Klaus tries to open the door it doesn't budge, doesn't even move, Caroline pushes him out of the way furiously and tries it herself, she looks up at him, worry on her face and he pounds on the door trying to get through but within moment's he falls to the floor giving up, with his head bowed he breathes, "I'm going to die."


"What is the purpose of you being here Klaus?" Bonnie hisses.

"Niklaus."

She laughs, "Of course, you're not him out there yet are you? But I suppose you're interested in your future, his past, are you not?"

Niklaus remains motionless, he watches as she strides towards him and doesn't flinch when she grabs his hand and holds it out, she takes out a glinting knife and he can see his stunned expression before she slashes his palm with it.

He winces in pain but still doesn't utter a sound, they watch together as the blood splatters on the ground and an image of Klaus and Rebekah shimmer before them, Niklaus reaches out a hand towards his sister but she's a translucent, frozen figure and he merely touches air.

"This is witchcraft," He breathes, "Whatever your about to show me is false," He takes a step back as he sees a weapon in his future selves hand, "I would never harm my sister.

Bonnie ignores him and waves her hand at the figures that instantly come to life.

Tears are streaming down Rebekah's face, Klaus looks regretful, but only for a moment before he plunges a stake through her heart, Niklaus screams in horror and rushes towards his sister who falls to the floor, her face turning towards him as her skin turns grey, her gaze is full of hatred before she shuts her eyes.

The figures vanish and Niklaus is left shaking on the floor, tears clouding his vision, "I don't believe you."

"But why not? You've seen that creature outside, he's capable of this, you're a murderer dear."

Another images appears, almost the exact same scene but instead of Rebekah it's his youngest brother Kol, the teenager's eyes are full of rage as the dagger is twisted inside his body, he kneels over trying to pry it from his chest before he meets the same fate as Rebekah.

"STOP!" He roars stalking towards the witch, his hand raised as if to strike her but when he finally reaches her he falters, looking at his raised palm he cries out in shock, "Its true isn't it?"

"Of course it is."

"What happens to Caroline?"


"IT'S NOT TRUE! THEY'RE NOT DEAD!" Caroline screams pounding on the door, she ignores Klaus on the floor who is holding his head in his hands, utterly defeated; it's a shocking sight, "Why can't he hear me?"

She leans against the door, her palms flat out pressing herself against it trying to get through, she sighs and joins Klaus on the floor, "Bonnie's put a silent spell thing on it hasn't she."

"I assume."

Caroline exhales loudly and bangs her head against the wall, her hand find's Klaus's and she holds it firmly, tracing soothing circles in his palm with her thumb. He stares ahead at the opposite wall but she can see that she's made him more relaxed.

"Who knows?" Caroline grips Klaus's hand tighter when she hears her old friend's voice.

"I won't hurt her, not Caroline," Niklaus sounds angry, determined.

"What makes her different then the others?"

Caroline leans against the wall more, desperate to hear his response, Klaus mutters, "Not now," under his breath and Caroline frowns at him.

"Because," Niklaus's voice drifts towards them, "I love her."

Caroline freezes.

Klaus hits his head against the wall.

And from inside the dungeon, Bonnie snickers.
