I'm back!:) I kind of played with the character's emotions a bit here. Do you think I should voice out more of Klaus and Tyler's opinions here or do you like how this is written? Just curious...
Klaus had been taken back by Caroline's bold, quiet comment. It was the last thing that he had expected to hear that day.
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know why I keep dreaming the same thing over and over again!" Caroline looked up into Klaus's eyes. "I'm tired Klaus. I'm so tired and I can't fall asleep without seeing you dying in front of me." She was freaking out as the realization of her dreams came back to her.
"Hey hey, Caroline calm down." Klaus put his hands on her shoulders. "I'm right here. I'm alive and I can't be killed."
"But in my dream…" Caroline tried to explain.
"But that's all it was, Love. Just a dream." He reassured her. His guard went down for her. He always melted when he was around her and he couldn't stop it. The little blonde would always have a place in his heart.
"Take your hands off of her!" An angry hybrid stealthily stalked over to the pair.
Caroline looked over just in time to see Tyler shove Klaus away from her. She was grateful for Klaus releasing his grip from her shoulders before Tyler shoved him. If he would have still been holding onto her there was no way she would've stayed upright.
Klaus's eyes lit up as his body started to change into the beast that he was known for. He quickly pulled his temper under control and, with that, his body as well. "Tyler…" He growled out the name in warning.
"Trying to take my girl, Klaus? Touch her again and I swear I'll make you pay!" Tyler yelled at Klaus in a low voice. The hybrid side of him was starting to show through. He was having a hard time keeping his temper down. Unlike Klaus, he had a harder time controlling his emotions and, at times, when he turned. All he could picture was Klaus's hands on Caroline. That image alone fueled his anger.
"Tyler!" Caroline snapped at him as her brain processed what was going on in front of her. "Stop! You don't understand!" She reached for his arm in an attempt to pull him back.
Tyler's reflexes kicked in. Without thinking he turned around and shoved Caroline away from him. Instantly he realized what he did and the hybrid side of him was quickly suppressed. It was too late though; the damage was already done.
Caroline had fallen hard to the ground. She could feel pain flash through her whole body. Klaus was down on the ground next to her in a blink of an eye. He slowly raised her up a bit. Caroline's body tensed and she let out a cry of pain. The force that Tyler had used was enough to crack a few of her ribs. She wasn't healing as quickly as normal and the pain was becoming worse. Her breathing was shallow and labored.
"Caroline?" Klaus waited for her to speak. He brushed a few strands of hair out of her face.
"Care… Care, I'm sorry!" Tyler tried to apologize and stepped closer.
"Don't come near her, Tyler." Klaus warned him. The agitation in his eyes was not a match for Tyler – they held a look of protection and wariness. He wasn't a force to reckon with right now and Tyler knew it.
"She's my girlfriend, Klaus!" Tyler decided to push back a bit. He wanted to test Klaus a little bit further to see how serious he was.
"I believe that you're trespassing, Tyler. You need to leave." Klaus ignored Tyler's comment. He wasn't going to let him stay there. Not only was he a threat to him, but also to Caroline right at this point.
Tyler hesitated; he didn't want to leave Caroline behind. He was angry with himself for obviously hurting her, but was angrier that Klaus was taking his place next to her.
"Don't' make me have you removed from the property, Tyler." Klaus warned without looking at him.
"Please go, Ty." Caroline quietly sided with Klaus on the matter. She could feel her ribs start healing themselves, but the slowness of the healing process led them to ache more. She did everything in her power not to cry out in pain. She wanted to be stronger than that.
Tyler once again hesitated, but finally with a look of anger and defeat left the Mikaelson's property.
Caroline knew that he was fuming in anger. She knew that he'd probably yell at her later and then apologize for it. That thought alone made her cringe inside. Her thoughts jumped back to the nightmares that she had been having. When could she tell Klaus about them? Would he cut her off again before she had a chance to tell him? And why the heck wasn't she bouncing back as fast as she should? The questions began to swirl around in her mind, leaving her dizzy and even weaker than before.
