Hey Guys,

Again, I apologise for the break, but my phone is finally fixed properly! This chapter isn't quite long, but it's the last set up for the holiday! Let the Klaroline commence! Whooo! I've just realised, my story might be slightly longer than planned, maybe 20-30 chapters, is that okay? But thank you for sticking with me this far!

Until Next Time,

Caroline's POV

We had collected clothes from Klaus' mansion and were now in his car on the way to the airport. I wasn't surprised by his choice of car; a rather large black SUV. It was so Klaus it actually amused me, and I giggled internally. I tried to keep on my bitchy Caroline face, but I just couldn't. I was going on holiday, for the first time away from Mystic Falls, and I was close to Klaus. I knew it couldn't be a good idea, but damn he smelt good.

Eventually we arrived at the airport, but I still hadn't spoken to him since the ground rules. I stepped onto a plane for the first time in my life, and i was shaking with nerves.

I looked around the plane, and it looked very high class, but there were very few seats, only about 10 actually. I looked at Klaus awaiting my explanation.

"Oh yeah, forgot to mention love, we're using my family's private Plane. Just you and me," He smirked directly at me whilst he spoke, just to see if my face changed.

"Fantastic. Bloody fantastic." was all I said

We had 20 minutes before take-off and I was quite exited, but I was actually angry at Stefan. He had no idea of the extent of Klaus' infatuation with me, yet still offered me up as a hostage. I'm so gonna snap his neck when I get home. But that reminds me, I was actually a hostage, if Klaus even thinks of doing anything about that, I swear ill find a white oak stake. I decided it was finally time to speak again; I was never one for silence.

"When we come home, can you remind me to snap Stefan's neck?" I asked in the sweetest voice I could muster.

"Am I really that bad love? Personally he's done me a favour, I rather enjoy your company" he replied, the smirk on his face never wavering.

"You're alright I suppose, better than Damon. Ugh...Damon," I cringed at the sound of his name, I could never forgive him for what he did to me as a human. Although his love for Elena was pure, and made him a better person, I still believe that Stefan is Elena's epic love. They're just meant to be. Even though he did horrible things to me, I still want Damon to be happy, he's changed lately.

My thoughts were interrupted by Klaus' chuckling.

"Someone not a big fan of the elder Salvatore? I can't say I disagree with you though love, Stefan's much more fun," he was clearly amused, but I wasn't laughing.

An unexpected anger bubbled inside of me. Who does he think he is? He knows nothing about any of us.

"Maybe I do, because sorry, but before you got to town, there were other bad guys, and Damon just happened to be one of the worst. And you just like Ripper Stefan, you know the one who ruins lives? Guess you can relate!" I snapped, I really didn't need reminding of the pitiful excuse of a human I was. Damon will never treat me like that again. No one will, I promised myself that for the 100th time.

"Oh sorry love. Did I upset you? Well wait I don't care, after all I'm only the evil Original Hybrid. You don't deserve to be a vampire, you're too human. Pathetic really." He spat at me, his mood had changed from happiness to bad-guy Klaus in a matter of seconds.

I actually felt guilty for what is said, he didn't know of my past, it wasn't his fault. I guess I better make it up to him, will be easier if he's in a good mood.

"Look I'm sorry, but I really don't need reminding of what Damon did. Elena's happy with him and I'm trying to understand but you bringing him up isn't helping." I tried to explain without going into too much detail. He doesn't need to know what Damon did, nobody does, I won't be known as 'Victim Caroline'.

His face softened as soon as the sentence left my mouth. But I saw something else flash through his eyes, was that rage? It's slowly built, until face was almost fully hybrid.

"Caroline...what..did..he..do?" He said it through gritted teeth, he was trying to compose himself.

"Nothing. It was a long time ago, it doesn't matter anymore." I was unsuccessfully trying to hide the pain in my voice, and I knew he wouldn't let me leave it there.

"Love, if that bastard dared to touch a hair on your head, his heart will be ripped out in a matter of moments, that's a promise." He wasn't even trying to cloak his anger anymore, and he was staring at me, just waiting for me to confirm his suspicions.

"I'll tell you, if you promise not to hurt him for it," I knew he was going to get it out of me eventually, but I might as well give Damon a chance of survival.

"No. I promise I won't KILL him for it, and that's it. But if its bad enough to scar you I'll make him beg for death." His response was instant, and I knew that was the best I was going to get.

"When I was human, he sort of um...used me as his personal blood bag, toy type thing. It was to get to Elena, and he compelled me; a lot. He made me feel weak, dirty and used, but I just didn't know why. I had no choice. That's why I hate compulsion, and that's why I cling to my humanity. I refuse to make anyone feel the way I did." By the end of the sentence, my voice was cracking and tears were threatening to spill. I composed myself and looked up at Klaus.

He was literally shaking with rage, I've never seen him like this before. I put my hand on top of his, and I said;

"It's okay, he's changed. I beat the shit out him already for it. It's over and I'm fine."

He let out a shaky breath, grabbed my hand and kissed it lightly. He was slowly regaining human features, his eyes back to their normal blue.

"Caroline, I will never ever touch you in that way. Why would anyone dare ruin your light? You are perfect, Caroline Forbes. If that bastard didn't have you protecting him he'd be lying on the ground dying now. I will avenge you for this sweetheart, but I won't kill him. Only as I promised you, and I'm sorry, you didn't deserve it in any way." He looked at me, and I saw how sincere his words truly were.

Without warning, hot tears started rolling down my cheeks. He said nothing more, but just pulled me into his embrace. He kissed my forehead and let me snuggle into his chest. And that's when I realised, no one had ever actually apologised for Damon's actions. To them I was just collateral damage, but Klaus...cared.

'I think I might feel something for him' I thought, as I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Im not going to lie I'm pretty proud of the chapter! I love Damon to bits, but I hate what he did to Caroline! Let me knohow what you guys think.

Until Next Time,
