Chapter 3

"Who are you?" Caroline asked tentatively.

"Klaus, you've been in an accident. I brought you in you have injuries in your leg and bruises all over. You also suffered a concussion. Do you remember anything about the accident?"

'No, I don't know what happened. I can't remember. I can't remember. Why can't I remember? I can't remember anything about today." Frowning and suddenly panicking, "I can't remember who I am, where I live!" and suddenly started a frantic cry.

"You're safe. You're with me. I'll take care of you." Klaus automatically responded. Then asked himself why he said that, his inner battle with himself must has reflected in her face.

With no memory and nowhere to go, she reluctantly went with the suggestion of Klaus that she stay with him. At that moment, he seemed to be the only constant in her life and she was afraid to let go of that constant.

The ride from the hospital to his mansion, and it was indeed a mansion, was scary but at the same time it was a relief to get out of the hospital were she felt so alone. She knew had she not been in the state she had been she would have loved the room she was ushered into, the room was almost as big as her own shoebox apartment with its own en-suite bath. As her head hit the pillow in her bed, she drifted into a dreamless sleep.

Meanwhile at the mansion's den, Klaus was just about to settle down for a nightcap into his favorite chair by the fireplace nursing a glass of bourbon when Elijah walked in.

"Brother, you seemed to be forgetting that urgency of matters the last few days. Father might as well be seething in his grave seeing as he believed you and only you could carry on the Mikaelson legacy without distraction. It seems to me that a slip of a girl has you all flushed like a teenager, is she worth the million a day that we are loosing to the Salvatores?" Elijah quipped.

Klaus looked at his brother and smirked "Do not mistake my casual stance as weakness. Do not mistake me for you. I have everything under control." Suddenly standing up and walking into his brothers personal space "And never again question my judgment, brother or not, you are not irreplaceable. Your loyalty to the family has not yet been proven beyond reasonable doubt. The Salvatores are the least of my concerns they have shallow minds and think with their dicks, which is why their downfall will not be far from now. Now leave me." With that Elijah left fuming.

The Salvatores, Damon and Stefan. Damon who now runs the Salvatore Empire has always been a good and faithful lieutenant to his father but was never a grand schemer. He was always thinking short-term rather than long-term, planning ahead picturing several scenarios in his mind. He was an action-man, acting before thinking but he also had a huge ego which was why he never had patients for consultants and opinions of others, not only because they always contradict his decisions but because they made his feel lacking, questioning himself in the process, if he could he would rid himself of his "lieutenants".

Stefan on the other hand, being the second son has early on known that his role would always be a spare, like a tire, only needed when one wheel broke both otherwise could go on his merry way. Off course he was a Salvatore, therefore he had a role in the Empire, but his role was relegated to running a magazine in the publishing empire of the Salvatores. Coffee Talk, the monthly magazine that focused on light topics including featuring restaurants, coffee and tea houses, despite its purpose, keep the younger Salvatore occupied, the magazine was not really required to turn in a profit, it was actually a graduation gift from Guissepe to his younger son, something to keep his younger son occupied and tied to the family business without keeping his hands dirty until the time came for that to happen. But a few months into the launch of the magazine, Guissepe had died forever leaving the younger Salvatore in his much diminished role. This suited Stefan well as he never had the heart to run with the big boys, Damon and Stefan were as different as night and day, they had never been close growing up and could barely tolerate one another. They tried to stay out of each others way as much as possible, except for the monthly get-togethers the lieutenants demanded continue even after Guissepe's death, the brothers agreed they keep the face to face to a minimum.

"It's been four days Kat. Caroline has never been silent and absent this long. It's just not her, she's the one always texting and calling to find out where we are and want were doing. For the love of God, we all grew up together, this is just not here. This place is upside down without her and im not saying that only because the kitchen has never been the same without her drill-sergeant like precision. She's our rock." Bonnie said almost hysterical at Katherine.

Katherine responded: "Bon, I've gone to her apartment she's not there. I've talked to her neighbors no one has heard or seen her. Maybe we go to the Police? They know how to deal with something like this."

"Maybe Tyler would know? I know they broke up several months ago but they may have been seeing eachother again or maybe she has a new boyfriend we don't know about?" Bonnie sighed, "We are bad bestfriends to her."

"We'll find her. Maybe she did meet someone and she's seeing the world. In the meantime, you go grocery shopping we are short on everything and the things we need are not going to magically appear in the kitchen. We have guests I need to attend to". With that Katherine went to the reception to welcome and entertain guests.

Caroline woke up mid-afternoon momentarily disoriented.

"Ah good, you're finally awake. I'm Esther, my son has informed me of your predicament. While I am not a nurse I know enough about injuries so this is what will happen. You" looking Caroline in the eye "will stay in bed in the next two days then and only then will you be allowed outside. We have a lovely garden, its something I am very proud of as I designed it myself maybe you can spend an hour in the sun."

Caroline stared at Esther not knowing how to react. She assumed the son she referred to was Klaus, as she was the only person her mind seemed to recall. She continued to frown trying to recall more.

"Don't fret child. My son seemed quite taken with you. I have never seen him this flustered about anyone in…..never. You therefore intrigue me, I don't think you are aware of what or who is currently offering you safe haven to recover but know that no harm will come to you and you will not want for anything. You have compassionate eyes, my reading the eyes of each one, its how I am able to read people, it is the window to one's soul. I haven't been blessed with a daughter, but I have four sons, three of whom are alive. You have met Niklaus, Nik to family, Klaus to outsiders. My other sons are Elijah and Kol, you will acquaint with them soon enough. In the meantime, rest my child, I will have food brought up to you. I will visit you later." With that Esther took her leave.

That's it for Chapter 3, it was a long one as I wanted to establish all three storey lines and characterizations by the 3rd chapter, the Mikaelsons, the Salvatores and Caroline's friendships. I know I said I will post one chapter a week, I posted Chapter 2 just 2 days ago but inspiration struck hence the new chapter. I will however really post the next chapter in a weeks time as I still have to picture the chapter in my mind.

Esther is also in this Chapter, I thought I would make her motherly. After all she lived in a male dominated environment for so long that she welcomed female company since I do not intend to bring Rebekah to the storyline.

I'm sorry not so much Caroline-Klaus interaction in this one. But I promise the next one will be a cute chapter as Klaus will be floundering and questioning who Caroline is in his life. Kol will also make an appearance as usual goading Klaus about Caroline.

So many storylines are clouding my mind but I wanted to finish this story first before starting a new one, so the others will probably be in my notebook for sometime.

Again, reviews and comments are much appreciated. Ciao.
