A Different Kind of Ending
Request: can you write something where Caroline comes back and saves Klaus from Silas?
Caroline was livid as she continued walking away from him. At him, at herself, at the crazy messed up life she was a part of. And the next thing she knew, she was walking back in the direction she came. Back to him. To apologize for her words, to yell at him for not comforting her when she so obviously wanted him to, she wasn't sure. She just knew without a doubt that she wasn't going to leave things like that.
It was so much easier to find a witty retort with him, take him down a peg and make herself feel better, when she felt she had the moral high ground, but she wasn't sure anymore. Did good and bad really exist as separate entities though, or could they mix and mingle with each other? She wasn't sure anymore, all she knew was that the lines were blurring and good and bad seemed to be subjective. No, she wouldn't call herself bad or evil, she knew the motivations for her actions, but anyone else, an outsider, a family member of one of the witches might consider her so. And that made her consider Klaus. Klaus who she had always thought to be evil just because that was the way his actions came across, but was he really? At his core did he have the same kind of motivations she had? Was wanting to live, to not be alone, to have a family and protect them, really that bad of a thing. She didn't doubt his methods were wrong, but the motivations... well, she wasn't sure anymore.
Then she heard it, the sounds of a struggle, and she wondered what exactly she was walking into. Shane- Silas, her brain corrected quickly, had the white oak stake plunged into Klaus' back. She had a moment of panic, what could she do against him. But she had the element of surprise, and maybe she could get Silas away from Klaus long enough...
Caroline flashed forward, using every once of her strength to push Silas off and away from Klaus. He flew into a tree, and she ripped the stake out of Klaus' back quickly, dropping it to the ground beside him. Silas rushed her then, hands wrapping around her throat, crushing her wind pipe as she tried to fight him off to no avail.
His weight was removed from her rather suddenly, and she sat up, gasping for breath in time to witness Klaus push him against the same tree she had thrown him against earlier. "If you ever, ever lay a hand on her again, I will find a way to destroy you. I don't care what it will take, you will never so much as look her way." Klaus threw Silas to the ground, the man getting up quickly and rushing away, before Klaus approached her, offering her his hand to help her up from her position on the ground.
He said nothing once she was on her feet, merely enveloped her in his arms, and she sighed happily against his chest. It wasn't much, but it was a start down the path to forgiveness for both of them.
