Chapter Seven

Caroline stirred a bit at the smell of bacon wafting into her senses. "Mmmm." She moaned happily, leaning toward the smell.

After a moment Kol decided the smell hadn't been enough to wake her up, so setting the plate of food on the coffee table he ripped the blanket from on top of her and yelled. "Fire!"

Caroline jumped up falling onto the ground in a startled state."Aaaah!" She screamed, looking up from the floor though she did not find a fire, she found a Kol who was having a hysteric fit.

He wiped fake tears from his eyes. "Well that was fun." He chuckled with a giant smirk.

With a glare Caroline stood up walked over to the plate, picked up a handfull of scrambled eggs and threw them right at him. "Caroline!" He complained loudly.

"Kol!" She mimicked with a grimace.

"No bacon for you." He began sticking his tongue out at her and reaching for the bacon on her plate, of course Caroline quickly slapped his hand away.

"Touch that bacon and you will wake up buried alive!"

With a roll of his eyes, he yawned. "Like you could ever get me Caroline. I'm not afraid of you, baby vampire." He mocked.

"Oh really?" She replied with a raise of her eyebrows before muttering, "You have to sleep sometime."

After looking everywhere he could think of her being, even the lockwood estate, he came up empty handed. Walking back into the mansion he frowned. "Caroline." He called out, hoping she had thought better of her plan to leave and had now come back. No answer. He collapsed onto the chair in his study, pulling out his sketchbook. Sketching usually calmed his nerves, though it didn't work quite as well this time since his muse at this moment was missing.

"Love, where are you?" He asked quietly, and he was actually hoping she had left on her own accord, because if not that would mean she was probably in pain somewhere, and he couldn't help her.

As he was thinking this over his eyes caught sight of something on the floor, a peice of paper. Picking it up he saw that it seemed to be some sort of mock imitation of the drawing he had made for Caroline the night of the ball. On the bottom it read: "Thank you for telling me things I don't want to hear even when I was staring at you like a serial killer. -Klaus"

In addition to being extremely annoyed with Kol his mind wandered to the only place he hadn't checked for Caroline. It made sense not to, I mean they didn't exactly get along. Somewhat they did he supposed, but they were usually fighting.

He stood up dropping the note to the floor, it couldn't hurt to check right?

"No! We are not watching the Notebook again! It's not going to happen." Kol huffed as he looked through his DVD drawer. "How about this?" He asked holding up some kind of horror movie, to which Caroline shook her head.

Suddenly her face lit up. "I know!" She yelled getting down on her knees in front of the drawer and pulling out a movie, hiding the cover from Kol, and slipping it inconspicuously into the DVD player.

"What is that?" Kol complained.

She only grinned at him. "You'll see, and no you don't have a choice! You must see this movie!"

He groaned as the words 'The Princess Bride' came across the screen. "You have to be kidding me! This looks worse then the last movie!"

"It's not! I swear, it's one of the best movies of all time!" She screeched, taking a seat on the couch and pulling Kol onto it with her.

It was right then that they heard a knock on the door. Her face went completely pale. Kol took a deep breath, nodding toward the closet.

She stood up and opened the door closing it behind her and hoping it wasn't Klaus, because they all new hiding in a closet wasn't going to protect her from him. He would catch her sent immediatly.

Pacing outside of Kol's cabin he rapped his fist on the door one more time, if he had to knock again he was going to just break the door down, and he was just about to when the door flew open to reveal Kol.

"Yes, brother?" He smirked. "Can I help you with something?"

"Where is she?" Klaus hissed through gritted teeth.

"I haven't the slightest idea of what you're talking about." Kol responded innocently.

Klaus narrowed his eyes at Kol before pushing past him into the house, immediatly he could smell her. His anger grew as he realized not only had she left without permission, but she went to his own brothers house. His own brother had kept her hidden from him. With a snarl he ripped the closet door open, grasping Caroline's wrist tight in one hand well the other was pointing at Kol. "I'll be back to deal with you. And you," He began, turning to Caroline, but was interrupted as Kol pulled her out of his grip.

"Klaus you're being-"

"Irrational." Another voice chimed in from the door, they all turned to see Elijah standing there casually. "I got a call from Rebekah. Now why don't we let miss Forbes decide for herself where she wants to be." He said shooting Klaus a warning glance.

Caroline looked up at him with a confused look, as Klaus rolled his eyes and ignored his brother. "No, Caroline is going to be with me, whether she wants to be or not."

Caroline felt the bond kick in when he said that, and she sighed unable to do anythin but nod along with it and walk over to him begrudgingly.

A smirk played across Klaus' lips. "See there? She wants this."
