AN: I don't own this, please don't sue me :)

I loved the scene in 3x20. It conveyed Klaus is age, he is one of the oldest beings on earth. If he wants something he will wait for it. He has all the time in the world.

This story takes place after the decade dance. Disregard everything after that. I love feed back so please review.

Rebecca stormed into her brother's study

"Nic,!"

Klaus looked up from his computer screen to meet the gaze of his furious sister.

"Nic, What did you do?" She asked coming to stand in front of his desk.

Klaus raised his eyebrows "What are you going on about now Becca?"

"Don't play dumb. Caroline. What did you do to her?"

"I don't know what you are talking about" Klaus replied his expression blank.

Rebecca scoffed at his answer. "Don't bother lying to me brother. I know you too well"

Klaus sighed, "What makes you think that I did anything to her?"

"We had plans to meet up for the 2048 Spring Fashion show in Pairs and she didn't show. When I tried to call to see if everything was all right her phone was disconnected."

Klaus stood and walked over to the pool table. He made a show of racking up the balls before replying " What exactly does that have to do with me?"

"I know you had something to do with it. I checked with the others, no one has seen or heard from her since the funeral. That was 5 months ago. I saw you in town that day. You must have talked to her. So tell me what you did!"

Klaus leaned over and lined up his first shot. " That doesn't prove anything. Her mother died. She probably wants some time to herself; or perhaps she grew bored of you. I can relate to that."

Klaus instantly felt guilty as look of hurt flashed across Rebecca's face, but he needed to distract her. He didn't want Rebecca's judgement. He knew what he did.

Unfortunately for Klaus, Rebecca wasn't that easily deterred.

"So I guess it was just a coincidence that the mansion burned to the ground the day after her mother's funeral?"

Klaus missed his shot at her words and Rebecca smiled triumphantly. "Nic..."

"God damn it Rebecca! Just leave it alone." Klaus almost yelled.

"No Nic. Believe it or not, this doesn't just effect you... She is my friend."

"Becca..."

"No ! Don't be stupid Nic. Caroline is well know for be associated with us. We have a lot of enemies, more than most can fathom. As unbelievable as it is, I care for the girl and don't want her to get caught in the cross fire."

Klaus rolled his eyes. " Stop being melodramatic. I assure you that she is perfectly safe."

"So you know where she is then?" His sister asked as she a step closer to him.

Klaus turned away order to under Rebecca's probing gaze.

"YesI know where she is and, no I wont tell you".

"Why the hell not?" Rebecca demanded.

"Leave it alone Rebecca" Klaus said in a warning tone as he threw the pool cue down on the table.

Rebecca shock her head in exasperation. "What did you do?"

Klaus sped over coming eye to eye with her. " I did what was necessary. I don't have to answer to you. Now I said leave it alone. I will not tell you again." He growled at her.

With that, Klaus pushed her out of his way and he walked out of the room.
