Chapter 16

A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.

Klaus was happy that Caroline had turned her humanity back on, but he was going to make her happy. Klaus and Caroline were walking down the sidewalk as a parade walked by full of music and crowds of people in costumes. Klaus couldn't help but remember this had been where he had called Caroline that day when he had first arrived. He glanced to her who was still looking rather sad. She had only lost her mother a week ago. But she had turned her humanity off for some time. And when she turned it on it was worse than it had been before. Klaus showed Caroline many things such as the history in New Orleans. Despite that Caroline was sad she felt somewhat happy that Klaus was trying his best to comfort her as well as make her happy of course. Klaus than brought them to a restaurant where they sat down. Caroline and Klaus talked as they waited for their food.

"When did you last come here?" She asked. Klaus looked up at her.

"Well the last I came here was 1719 just after it was founded. I had helped build this city actually." Klaus said. "I had just returned from England I had been in Europe for almost three centuries and decided to come back here when it was founded. It has a way of attracting most of the supernatural really. Rebekah and Kol were with me at the time and that is also where…" He paused and gritted his teeth. "I left after ten years there and came back and I had met Marcel in 1805. He had been a slave. I didn't approve much of this at the time and Marcel and I had become friends, I had turned him. "

Flashback:

Klaus, Rebekah and Kol looked at the city and how it had grown. Klaus smiled. New Orleans. It happened that after all these years it was still his favorite city. Klaus, Rebekah, Kol, and Marcel all sat together at the bar. Well not so much Kol since he kept flirting with the women.

"Marcel, this is quite the party," Rebekah said.

"Well we all need to have some fun in a while Miz Rebekah." Marcel said. She smirked.

"Yes well New Orleans is fun, I think I am going to have a snack now." Rebekah said eyeing the man by the door. She licked her lips as she stood and walked over to him. Marcel couldn't but watch her. He happened to be quite taken with his friend's sister. She was beautiful and strong as well.

"Klaus, my creator, my savior my friend why are you looking so 'worried'?"Marcel asked. Klaus sighed.

"I have been hearing rumors of a man that has been killing vampires. In other states." Klaus said.

"What? Why would that worry you? You an original as you claimed. What could this man have against you?" He asked.

"The man is a vampire hunter. And he is also my father. I am wondering if we should move on now." Klaus said.

"Perhaps we can take him on," Klaus shook his head.

"My father happens to be a lot stronger and his only mission is to kill me and my family. He has been hunting us for centuries almost a thousand years now." Klaus said.

"Just don't worry about it. I'm sure he can't find you here. I mean you might blend in with all the other vampires in this town. I mean this is a popular vampire city really." Marcel said. Klaus nodded. For now he would put aside the worry that he had for his family. He hated that Mikael was stronger than him, and that he made them run.

A few hours later Rebekah rejoined Klaus and Marcel talking. Kol was suddenly there with a worried look.

"Nik he's- He was cut off by a scream not long before others followed. Klaus, Rebekah, and Kol stood staring at their father as he began ripping apart each vampire he could. Plucking them off like they were nothing birds. Marcel looked to Klaus and than back to Mikael. Kol and Rebekah looked at there older brother wondering what to do. Klaus nodded for them to leave. Rebekah began protesting but then Kol dragged her out. Klaus turned to his father. He swallowed hard. His father glared at him and stepped forth.

"Sorry to interrupt your party boy," He said. "You're still as weak as when you were born. Still can't even fight boy," He smirked. But before either them could engage in a battle really. A vampire stood up.

"You killed her!" He yelled. Mikael had apparently killed someone lover and the vampire was furious as was some other vampires who tried to face Mikael. Klaus took this time to flash away. He met Rebekah and Kol before Kol turned to him.

"We can make our escape now." Klaus said.

"No I want to stay," Kol said. Klaus glared at his brother.

"We can't stay not with Mikael walking around." Klaus said.

"I don't care Nik, I am tired of running."

"Kol what are you saying?" Rebekah asked.

"I'm saying I have to leave you, I need to leave all of you." Klaus glared at him.

"You are being an idiot. This is no time for arguing Kol now come on." Klaus said. Kol shook his head. Klaus felt rage sipping in and he nodded.

"Very well, you do have a choice. And you have made it. And I can't let that happen or take the risk of Mikael." Rebekah and Kol looked at him slightly confused. In a flashed Klaus had a dagger in Kol's chest. He grunted and looked down to find the dagger. Rebekah gasped in horror watching her brother stab the other. Kol glared at his brother as he could feel himself being put into a sort of sleep but was dead. Kol soon fell to the ground and Rebekah looked at her brother.

"What have you done?" She could feel tears in her eyes. Klaus turned to her.

"I did what was necessary for us to survive. I can't have Kol die. But this is the only way to save him from his stupidity and get him away from Mikael."

Flashback ended:

"So that's why you daggered Kol? Because he chose to leave you and you couldn't handle that." Klaus sighed.

"I was desperate at the time. Mikael had been hunting us down for so long. I couldn't have Kol be so reckless. Daggering him was the only solution." She gave him a look.

"Why not just let him go?" She asked. "I mean he could run from Mikael but he still has every right to leave." He sighed.

"Caroline, at the time I had felt as if my family was abandoning me. They were all I had at the time and I was afraid of losing that." He said. She nodded. Caroline and Klaus were walking along the sidewalk till Klaus stopped them and wanted Caroline to follow him. He stopped them in front of a man that appeared to be painting. She looked at him.

"What are we doing?" She asked.

"Like I said a long time ago Caroline, I am showing one of my passions." She looked to the man painting. It was of all sorts of colors but only red black and blue. It was like it spoke to her somehow.

"He's angry or in rage but yet somewhat sad at the same time." Caroline began. Klaus looked at her. "He wishes he tries to control his demons than let his demons control him."

"We all wish that, and sometimes we can't control our demons." He said. He turned to the music that was playing and watched as others danced. He turned back to Caroline. "How about a dance love?" He asked. She turned to him.

"But no one's really dancing," She said. He smirked.

"One dance Caroline, I won't bite." He held out his hand and she sighed before putting her hand in his. He tugged her closer before giving a cocky smile. "Unless you want me too." She felt her cheeks redden and she shook her head before Klaus put his hand on her waist guiding her closer as she put her hand on his shoulder. They began swaying to the music slowly. Klaus and Caroline had danced before but this time seemed different from there last. Caroline was no longer grasping on to the feelings that she had once felt for Tyler and new ones seemed too emerged every time she saw Klaus or was near him. And when he touches her she feels as if she is on fire. Everything is new and it's so different than anything she has ever felt before. Not with Matt or Tyler. Klaus had never felt like this before, Caroline was bringing out feelings in him that he has never experienced with anyone. He didn't know what this girl was doing to him. They glanced at each other's lips before their eyes met once again at the exact second. They seemed to move closer there faces just a few inches away from each other.

"Am I interrupting something?" A voice said from behind them. They turned and Klaus glared at him. "Well Klaus this is quite interesting,"

"Marcel,"
