Chapter 20

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

Elijah and Elena had gone back to the house to Katherine going through her things. Elena glared at the girl that looked exactly like her. Katherine rolled her eyes at them.

"You really don't have any fashion sense. God you have such 'lame' taste." She said tossing her jeans to the side. Elena began picking up the mess annoyed with Katherine as she turned to Elijah.

"Even when we were together you liked her more." Katherine shook her head. Elijah turned to her. "That's how you even defended her with her humanity off. And how she basically insulted you." Elena looked at them. Elijah sighed.

"Like you haven't done worse Katerina," He said. She was about to retort when she realized that she didn't have anything to say to that. She groaned and grabbed her coat before leaving and slamming the door right behind her. Elena turned to Elijah and gave him a small smile.

"Now what should we do?" Elijah shrugged. "What about a game of poker?" Elena smirked. Elijah gave her a look.

"Are you asking an original to play a game with you? I lived so long and was the first to really know how to play poker. You sure you want to play against me lovely," She gave him a look.

"Just because you're older than me doesn't mean you can beat me in poker. I happen to be the best at this game. Caroline and Bonnie haven't beaten me yet."

"Is that a challenge Miss Gilbert?" She gave him and evilly smile.

"You know it,"

Caroline was staring at the ceiling. She thinking about the kiss that she had initiated with Klaus. It felt weird to think about kissing Klaus in her mind but it made her heart skip a beat.

Flashback:

Caroline kissed Klaus. Klaus made a strangled noise taken back a bit by her forwardness. He hadn't expected that. As he had promised that he would be her last love but hadn't thought it would have been any time soon. Klaus kissed her back just as fiercely. Caroline cupped his face with her hands. The kiss started out slow but slowly became more passionate. The kiss escalated and suddenly Caroline realized that she was now in a full make out session with Klaus. Caroline wrapped her arms around him and pressed her body closer to his making him growl and wrap his arms tightly around her waist holding her to him. Klaus broke the kiss to lean his forehead against hers.

Flashback ended:

Caroline touched her lips and couldn't help but smile. She didn't understand how of all the people that she could like or love it was Klaus. Klaus who had done so many horrible things. She couldn't, didn't understand how she had come to love him but she did despite that she had tried to fight the connection that she had felt to him since the very beginning she had met him. He had always seemed so different around her. And Caroline had started to see that she liked him when he had left and she began to miss him. One person had come to her and made her realize her true feelings for him at the time. One person that she felt honored to meet. Someone that she would never get the chance to meet again.

Flashback:

"So you Caroline?" Caroline nodded. "Stefan talks about you. And I have watched as you two have become the best of friends. You help him. And I think the thing that he needs right now is a friend. I thank you for watching him and helping him." Caroline nodded.

"Stefan is like my big brother, I would do anything for him." Caroline said.

"I also see that you have put Klaus in his place really." Caroline swallowed hard and tried to ignore the feeling of her heart as it skipped a beat hearing Klaus's name. She hadn't heard it in a while. "You know despite being on the other side I can see that you really have that original wrapped around your little finger. It's kind of impressive actually." Caroline shook her head.

"I do not,"

"Caroline, we both know, you are not dumb. I am sure you can't admit that Klaus feels something for you or that he would do anything for you. But I know that deep down you trust him for some reason and never give up on him. And as much as you want to hide it you also feel closer to him. The problem is your young and don't want to change. You won't change physically but you will mentally. You will learn new things change your ways. Caroline you can lie to your friends, Klaus, Tyler, Stefan, even me. But don't fool yourself. If there is one thing I believe in is that everyone has humanity even if they don't want to believe it. And Klaus has shown that. Don't you see Caroline? You're his humanity. Don't always judge a book by its cover. And I know that one day you will be together. I am hoping and knowing that you will." Caroline looked at her confused.

"How do you know?" She asked.

"You see a lot of things on the other side, take care of Stefan for me."Before Caroline could protest she was gone.

"It was really nice meeting you, Lexi."

Flashback ended:

Lexi had been right when she had said that Caroline had feelings for Klaus. And she was started to see that Lexi could be right about Caroline being his humanity. There was a flash of light. It made Caroline jump and the second a rumble of thunder was behind it. Caroline swallowed hard as she looked outside to the windy thunderstorm. Caroline hadn't liked storms since she was little they freaked her out. She knew she was a vampire and shouldn't feel scared but she also felt as if she was being watched somehow. She opened the door and entered the hallways looking for anything suspicious. Nothing. She walked down the hall and stopped at a door. She took a deep breath before she slowly opened the door. Klaus lay on his back with a hand over his face. By the way his chest was moving up and down she could tell that he was asleep. She shook her head. She shouldn't be doing this. She couldn't help but look back at him noticing that he wasn't wearing a shirt. She couldn't help but look at his tone chest. She felt heat raise in her cheeks. She shook her head trying to control herself and turned to leave.

"Caroline?" She swallowed hard and turned to Klaus. He looked at her removing his hand from his face. "Is everything alright?" He asked.

"Ah… sorry I didn't mean to wake you I just felt as if the storm wasn't the only thing that was out there. And I was hoping that perhaps I could join you." Klaus smirked.

"Don't tell Miss Forbes is scared of a thunder storm." She rolled her eyes and waited for him to answer. He pulled back the covers and Caroline hoped in with him. Despite that Klaus was still slightly nervous about if he should touch her still or not Caroline made up his mind for him. She moved to him snuggling up against his chest.

"I really did think that there was someone watching me though." She said. Klaus's grip tightened around her waist.

"Caroline, your safe here. No one would dare enter the original hybrid's house. Much less with his siblings living here." Klaus said. Caroline knew that Rebekah and Matt had been staying at a hotel together.

"Speaking of them, where is Elijah?"

Elijah cursed while Elena jumped with glee. She danced around crazily while Elijah shook his head. He couldn't believe this, he couldn't believe this.

"Well Elijah I win, looks like you owe me." Elena said. Elena had beaten Elijah at poker almost every time. It had been a fair game but she still beat him by one. So much for being this all powerful original.

"Well what was the bet on?" Elijah said getting his wallet out. Elena shook her head.

"Sorry Elijah but I can't take you money. You still owe me though. And I think I get to chose what I want." Elijah would have rather just paid. He didn't feel like doing much of anything else. "Let's see, what do I want?" She asked herself. As she was thinking Elijah began picking up the cards. "I know what I want!" Elijah turned to her.

"What do you want?" He asked. She smirked.

"A kiss."
