1613 winter Caroline 10 years old.

Caroline curled up closer to the fireplace of the sun began to set. The cold air swept in to the living room as she wrapped herself in another blanket trying to keep warm. She had been living here over a year now. She had gotten used to being treated like a princess, And the royal family. The only problem was Klaus.

Sure he was good-looking but she was now sort of related to him and there could be no feelings between the two of them. And having to deal with Kol and Rebekah kept her mind off of it. The two children had been making her life a miserable hell since she got there. Klaus stood up for her every time but that didn't stop the children from doing it again. As she laid by the fireplace the room got colder but the fire got warmer. It was now December and everything outside was covered in a white dust making everything seemed to glow in the mornings. Winter was her favourite time of year when she was with her mother she used to go outside and make snow angels in the snow but now the royal family would not allow her to go outside without guards, as there had been rumours that people were planning on attacking the royal family.

But she wasn't worried. And as the skies turned from purple to black she got up from the couch and headed to her bedroom. Once there she changed into her pyjamas and got into bed making sure one of the maids got her an extra blanket for warmth. But as the night went on it only got colder to the point where Caroline was shivering under her blankets.

The middle of the night rolled around as Caroline was still up freezing cold until she heard a soft knock at her door. And in walked Klaus.

"What are you doing here? why are you still up?" Caroline barely managed to get without stuttering.

"I can hear your teeth chattering from two rooms away" He said laughing as he stepped forward towards her bed.

"I didn't know it was that loud" She said giggling as she wrapped her arms around herself trying to keep warm.

"Here" Klaus said as he as he walked over to her bed pulled the covers back got in and pulled Caroline towards his chest, under the blankets. "You'll be warm now" he said as Caroline snuggled into his chest and gently fell asleep.

Sunrise came the next morning the sun peeking into Caroline's window as it lit up her room and Caroline gently stirred over opening her eyes to the sun. She squinted her eyes to the sun as she rolled over and smiled about what happened last night with Klaus. She patted her bed on each side and felt nothing but her blankets and pillows,... Klaus was gone. In a way she was glad so the siblings wouldn't see and she wouldn't get in trouble, but at the same time waking up to Klaus wouldn't be so bad.

"Eh stop it Caroline, you can't have feelings for him" she said as she smacked her forehead with her hand. And after a couple minutes of lying in bed she decided to get out. So she got out of bed got dressed and headed downstairs for breakfast. When she was got in the dinning room the maids had already got breakfast out and Kol, Elijah and Finn were already eating, but Klaus was know where in sight. But she sat down, anyways as one of the maids sat pancakes on her plate and she ate them in silence with the rest of the siblings. As she finished she headed upstairs to find Klaus. As she walked along the stone ground of the second floor her heals clacked away at them, echoed off the walls and and into the white covered outside.

She knocked on Klaus's door as the sound bounced off. But there was no answer. Just as she was about to leave Elijah walked by.

"Are you looking for Klaus?" He said his accent thick and strong.

"Yes have you seen him?" She said.

"Not since last night" he said trying to be helpful.

"Alright" Caroline said as she went to go into the secret room that Klaus had showed her.

"I already checked there" he said as he saw where she was headed. "About five minutes ago, try the garden"

"Thank you" Caroline said sweetly with a smile as she headed to her room. She changed her little heels for soft white boots with fur, and a thick black jacket with black fur. She also added a black scarf and when she finished bundling up, she headed downstairs and out into the cold white winter.

She smiled as her feet made fresh footprints in the new white snow. "Klaus!" She called out into the yard but no answer. She walked around most of the yard not seeing him before she decided to go in. Her face was red from the cold and she herself was getting cold to.

But before she went in she went and tapped her foot on the pond. She smiled as she saw it was frozen and gently slid across it laughing as she slid across it and twirling in her feet.

Before the ice gave away and she fell though.
