Info You Might Need To Know: Here, Klaus didn't come to gloat over Katherine's dying body. This is after The Originals season 1, episode 8 (Klaus' fight was badass by the way. I saw a clip of the coin scene from the show, and fell in love with the guy all over again) So Klaus has control over the city..

Summary: Where instead of jumping into Elena's body, Katherine jumps into Caroline's. And head off to New Orleans with Nadia.

Today's Special

Two are better than one,

If two act as one.

Mia turned to Katherine, "Repeat this spell so I know you understand how the passenger works."

Katherine shook her head, "I can't."

"Just say it. Jaryakat a zem. Daryeet acza." Nadia said, getting frustrated and desperate. Her mother was running out of time. "Say it and it's done. Your spirit goes inside my body and Mia will activate it by calling you forth and you get to live."

"Can I have a moment with my daughter please?" Katherine asks Mia. Looking at Katherine, Mia nods, and exits the room.

Nadia shook her head, "I know what you're going to say."

Katherine shook her head, "We don't have time for this. Nadia, letting my father rip you out of my arms...it was the biggest regret of my life. I should've fought harder to keep you, but I didn't. So I spent the next five hundred years making sure I didn't make that mistake again. I fought for everything, and in the process, I had a long, full life. And I got to know my beautiful daughter. You spent the last centuries searching for me."

Katherine picks up a syringe from the table. "Don't waste another minute on me. It's your turn to live."

It's now Nadia's turn to shake her head. "You can't do this."

Damon, who is still laying on the floor, regains consciousness in enough time to listen in on Katherine and Nadia's conversation.

Katherine was about to deny her daughter once again, when they heard a loud commotion form downstairs. "What's happening?"

Nadia rolled her eyes, "Caroline just came back."

Katherine was about to move on, when an idea formed in her head, and a smirk appeared on her face. "I think I may have thought of a way for me to live. To truly live without the fear of Klaus hanging over my head."

When Nadia had come down to tell her that Katherine had wanted to talk to her, Caroline had been hesitant. But seeing that she was a vampire, and the woman was dying. Caroline couldn't see the harm in it. So the baby vampire found herself walking into the room.

Katherine had grown pale, and you could clearly make out the wrinkles on her eyes. Asking if she was ok, seemed a little insensitive at this point. So Caroline settled for a kind, "You wanted to see me."

The doppelganger nodded, she patted next to her, asking for Caroline to sit down. The blond was tempted to draw the line here. But seeing the woman's condition. She couldn't find it in herself to say no. So she took the offered seat.

"It has come to my attention that I owe you an apology." Katherine tells her. "I'm the one who turned you into a vampire, without your permission and I'm sorry."

Caroline felt the hairs on the back of her neck rise. "It's fine. It turned out to be the best for me in the end." Despite the fact that Katherine had in fact killed her. She didn't want the brunette to die with any more baggage on her conscience. So she found herself nodding, "It's alright. I… I forgive you."

"I'm also sorry for this. If nothing else. You were probably the only one in this damn scooby gang that I could actually tolerate. Maybe even liked." Katherine says, confusing the blond. Without giving her a moment to understand what was happening the brunette takes her hand and says the spell, "Jaryakat a zem. Daryeet acza."

Caroline's eyes turn black. She slumps onto the floor. As she does, Katherine's body dies. Caroline is then woken up by her phone ringing. Still in a groggy state, she answers it without looking at the ID.

"Hello? Who's this?" Caroline asks.

The only response she received was Mia's "Vyjdi." Once again, Caroline's eyes turn black, indicating that the traveler's spell has been activated. Katherine has officially taken over Caroline's body.

Katherine hears her daughter's voice from the other side. "Hello. Are you there?"

"I'm here." The doppelganger answers.

"Talk to me. Did it work?" Nadia asked, hopeful.

Katherine, in Caroline's body, walks over to her own corpse and checks her pulse to make sure she is truly dead. "Of course it worked. I'm Katherine Pierce...I survive. I'll see you soon."

Katherine was in the bathroom, touching up her makeup when Caroline woke up. The original host of the body had caught the guest off guard. Enough to push her back and regain control of her body.

It took Caroline only an instant to realize what had happened to her. Klaus had told her all about it. She was assuming it was similar to what had happened to Alaric, Tyler, and Matt. Meaning there was definitely hope for her to get her body back and kick Katherine out permanently.

Caroline looked into the purse Katherine had been carrying, and found her phone. Lucky for her, Katherine hadn't thrown it away yet.

Caroline first called Bonnie, but it instantly went to voicemail. She tried Elena, but when she didn't answer after eight rings, Caroline hung up. She then tried Calling Stefan, but his phone was apparently out of service!

Caroline was running out of people to call. She tried Damon next. Every second she waited, only made her more anxious. She could feel Katherine trying to fight for control, and knew it was only a matter of time before the ones helping her realized she'd been gone for too long and came looking for her.

"What do you need, blondie?" Damon asked.

"Damon, I need you to find me. I have no idea where I am. I don't have long. Katherine's taken over my body and I can't get her out on my own. So please-"

Damon cut her off. "Yeah, I know."

Caroline's heart fell. "What do you mean you know?"

"Yeah, well it was either you, or Elena." With that Damon hung up. Caroline's arm limply fell to her side, the phone dropping to the floor. Caroline soon felt herself joining it on the ground.

Once again, she was second place to Elena. But this wasn't about grades, looks, or even who got the boy. This was life or death. And they had chosen Elena's over hers. Damon knew. Maybe they all did, and she was the fool walking into the trap.

Nobody had cared.

Nobody put her first.

'However long it takes.'

Caroline felt a sob rise up in her chest.

Klaus.

He was the only one who actually put her first. He had even chosen to save her… over his own sister.

And she had only used him.

Caroline cried into her arms. Realizing that it was too late.

He was gone. And he wasn't going to come back. He had wanted her to come to him. And by the time that she did find him, Katherine probably would have already made this permanent. She'd be gone.

Katherine would have her body. Maybe Klaus wouldn't notice and would get played by her. But she doubted that it would be anything worse than what she had done.

She had broken his heart.

The door to the restroom opened and Nadia walked in. Her eyes instantly zeroed in on Caroline, sobbing on the floor. A part of her wanted to comfort the sweet girl. But this wasn't just about her. This was about her mother. So Nadia instead said, "Vyjdi."

Katherine woke with a gasp. "What happened?"

"Caroline woke up." Nadia answered. "There's a witch in Mexico that we need to see. To make the transition permanent."

Katherine nodded. "But first, we need to stop by New Orleans."

"New Orleans?" Nadia asked. "But why?"

"Because Elijah is there." The brunette answered, washing the tear streaks off of Caroline's face.

"But so is Klaus." Nadia pointed out.

Katherine smirked, "Oh I know. But he wouldn't even suspect Caroline. I've been running from that man for five hundred years. God, the satisfaction of knowing that he'd be chasing after me."

"He'd be chasing after Caroline." Nadia corrects. "Which you aren't. What if he finds out."

Katheirne sighs, "I know that. That's why I'll try my best to avoid him. Something Carebear has done on multiple occasions. So I won't have to worry about my cover being blown."

Nadia doubted that they'd be able to enter New Orleans without the hybrid knowing. But this was the first time she'd gotten to spend time with her mother, practically since she was born. Not wanting to risk it, she chose to keep her thoughts to herself.

When Katherine went to sleep later that night, she found herself in a park. She saw Caroline sitting on a bench, with her arms around her knees, and pulled close to her chest.

Katherine found herself sitting next to her. "So what now?" Caroline asks, without looking up.

"Well you've always been the smartest of the bunch. I'm sure you already have an idea." Katherine tells her. "I'm going to be stealing your body. There's a witch in New Mexico who can make this permanent. We're still not sure what the spell will do to your soul. Just that it will give me full control."

A part of Caroline is telling her to stay strong, to lash out. The part of her that want's survive is demanding that she fight. But she's just so sick of it. Ever since she became a vampire. The only thing her friends have done is doubt her. And now, they even gave up her body for Elena.

"Why my body?" The blond finds herself asking.

"Because they wouldn't care nearly as much. They would barely even try to get it back. Sure they may try a couple of tracking spells. But after a certain distance, I doubt they'd even follow. And in a couple months, they would have pushed it all into the past." Katherine tells her. "Another bonus is that Klaus wouldn't even try to hurt it. For the first time in five hundred years. I'd be completely free. And even if he does capture me. It's not like he can exactly torture me and get his revenge."

Caroline sighs, "Well you were right about one thing." Katherine turns to her, raising an eyebrow. "Damon picked up my call." Seeing Katherine's panicked face, Caroline chuckled humorlessly. "Don't worry. He told me he knew you had my body… and that it was better than you having Elena. Bonnie, Elena, and Stefan didn't even pick up the phone. So I'm assuming they know to."

Katherine's eyes widened and she subconsciously found herself feeling sorry for the girl. She had been abandoned by all her friends. All for little old Elena. Constantly time and time again she was put in danger. Heck, it was the reason Katherine even changed her into a vampire. And now, she was going to lose her body. In a way, she was only in this mess because of the doppelgangers. In a way they were alike…

The brunette quickly shook her head. Her life was on the line. Her only chance to be with her daughter. She didn't have time for this. She needed to say her goodbyes to Elijah, get the spell to make this body hers, and then finally move on with her life… and be with her daughter.

"So… where are you going?" Caroline asked.

"New Orleans."

Hearing the name, a spark of light appeared in Caroline's eyes. "Isn't that where…"

Katherine nodded. "Klaus is there. So is Elijah. I intend to say goodbye to him."

Caroline nodded.

The sun around them began to set, meaning Katherine would soon wake up.

Katherine was standing up, when Caroline grabbed her hand, "Please don't hurt Klaus. You in my body…which means you do have the power to."

"But didn't you?" Katherine finds herself asking. And instantly finds herself wincing at the harshness of her tone.

Caroline's face fell, "I know… but…"

Katherine sighed. "I won't. In fact I intend to stay as far away as I can from him."

Caroline nodded. The fear and aching was still growing steady in her chest. But she felt relieved. At least now Klaus wouldn't be dragged into another one of her messes… that were really Elena's messes that she always ended up dragging him into.

Katherine and Nadia had been traveling in a car for six hours. So as soon as they had checked into a hotel room. The first thing they wanted to do was explore the city. Katherine was dressed in black, skin tight jeans. A blood red halter top with an open back. She finished off her look with a black leather jacket.

"Hmm. Not so sure how I feel about the blond. But I gotta admit. It can go well with a lot of looks." Katherine said, aspecting Caroline's image in the mirror.

Nadia sighed. "Come on. Let's go. I could definitely use a drink."

"All right, all right." Katherine sighed, following her daughter out.

Nadia stopped in front of a bar. "Rousseau's, come on. Let's try it."

It was noon. So the bar was pretty empty. They were greeted by a blond woman behind the counter. "Hi. Just give me a sec and I'll be with you."

Katherine nodded.

"Caroline?" A voice asked. Katherine felt the blood in her veins freeze. She'd heard that voice many times before. And even when she didn't, there wasn't a night that went by that it didn't haunt her dreams. But it was lacking it's usual malice and threats. Of course it was. It was calling for Caroline, not Katherine.

Katherine forced herself to turn around to see Klaus. Elijah stood just a few feet behind him. From the corner of her eye she could see Rebekah sitting on a bar stool. Both were just as surprised to see Caroline in New Orleans.

Katherine pushed her fears aside, and painted on her best smile. "Hey Klaus."

"Not that I'm not happy to see you, love. But what exactly are you doing in New Orleans?" Klaus asked, smiling.

Katherine shrugged, "I was getting bored. So I decided to go on a road trip."

Klaus raised an eyebrow, "I thought you'd be starting at Whitmore this year?"

Katherine resisted the urge to scream. Why did Klaus have to remember everything about Caroline. You'd figure that as the bloody hybrid, he'd have more pressing concerns then a baby vampire. "I decided to take a gap year." she answered.

Klaus nodded, accepting the answer.

"Why don't you join us for a drink?" Rebekah said, flashing a smile. She could see that the baby vampire wanted to get out of here, and decided on angist letting that happen. Something about the baby vampire was off. She could tell that Nik had picked up on it too.

Katherine was about to turn her down, but was cut off by Klaus. "That's a great idea sister." He said, leaving no room for Katherine to refuse.

As Katherine and Nadia sat down, Rebekah spoke again. "Since when do you wear leather jackets? I thought your thing was supposed to be sweaters."

Katherine cursed herself for not being more careful. "Nadia chose it for me. I figured trying something new wouldn't hurt."

Klaus turned to Nadia, "I'm assuming your little friend here is Nadia?" The brunette nodded, on guard. This was the man who had hunted her mother down for five hundred years. "Where exactly did you meet her love?"

"On the road. We ended up becoming travel buddies." Katherine answered at once.

Klaus leans back nonchalantly. Something was wrong, and he intended to find out what. Klaus was just given the perfect opportunity to test her.

"Well my offer still stands, love. I did give you my word that I would show you Italy, Iceland, Switzerland?"

Katherine laughs and agrees. Within a second she felt the world spin around it's access as she was pinned against a wall. "What?!"

"Wrong." Klaus growls. "I promised Caroline Rome, Paris, and Tokyo."

"Fine. You're right. I'm not Caroline." Katherine confessed. As she felt Klaus put more pressure on her throat. She quickly went on. "But this is her body."

Klaus loosened his grip, but kept a firm hold on her. "What do you mean?"

"I was dying. So we transferred my soul into Caroline's body. It's still her body. And she's still in there somewhere." Katherine informed him. "So go ahead. Try and hurt me. You'd only be hurting your precious Caroline."

"Then who are you?" Klaus asked.

It was Elijah who answered, "Katerina." He had been in love with the woman for five centuries. Of course he knew all her mannerisms and the way she dressed to the way she carried herself.

Klaus growled, "You took her body."

"Karma's a bitch." Katherine laughed. "You can't do anything to me."

"I wouldn't be so sure." Klaus growled, his eyes flashed golden. "You will give Caroline control of her body back. You will stay quiet and still, until we can find a way to remove you from her body. Permanently." He compelled.

But Katherine just shook her head, "Vervain. And you can't bleed it out of me. Unless you'd enjoy watching this baby vampire's blood drip down her arms as you bleed her dry."

Klaus shook his head. "Fine. You bought yourself a couple more days. But as soon as that vervain passes through your system. Your fate is sealed. Consider yourself lucky that you are in her body. If you weren't…" Klaus growled.

"You can't, I won't let you." Nadia stepped in.

Katherine's eyes widened. She had completely forgotten about her, judging by the looks on everyone around thems faces. She wasn't the only one who'd forgotten.

"Oh, and pray tell, how do you think you're going to stop me?" Klaus asked.

"No!" Katherine shook her head. "Leave her out of this."

"Mother!" Nadia cried.

A smirk appeared on Klaus' face. "Mother? And here I could've sworn I had already killed all of your family." he then turned to Katherine. "I may not be able to currently harm you. But she's a whole other story. I could always make you watch, as I slowly torture her to death."

Katherine shook her head, and turned to Elijah, "Elijah, please. If there was even a tiny part of you that ever loved. The please. Protect my daughter."

Even on Caroline's face, Elijah could clearly see Katherine's fear. "I will."

Klaus turned his head around, his grip on Caroline's throat had moved to a firm, but gently held on her arm. "You're kidding me right? Now, you choose now to make your stupid promise. Isn't your plate getting a little full. With the promise to Hayley, Sophie, and Marcel's little witch as well? You wanna add your soon to be dead lover's daughter onto there as well?"

Elijah stayed silent, so Klaus turned to Katherine, "I suggest you enjoy knowing that as soon as that vervain passes through Caroline's system. I'm making sure she regains control over her body once again. And then, finding a way to remove your parasitic soul from her body permanently."

Caroline's heart pounded rapidly, giving away Katherine's fear.

"Come on. We're going home." Klaus told his siblings. "Normally I'd be more than happy to leave Katherine to the wolves. But right now, she is in Caroline's body. I'm not gonna risk anything." He then turned to the woman in question, "and remember this, if anything happens to Caroline or her body. Your daughter will be the one paying the price ten fold. Elijah's promise be damned."

I got the original idea for this from venomandchampagne over on Fanfiction . Net, who has her own Klaroline one shot book.

Was the idea of Katherine going to New Orleans before the spell was permeant, stupid? Yeah. But in my defense, their really wouldn't be much of a plot without it.

There will definitely be a part 2 of this coming out. (I do have it planned out. Just need to write it. I'm trying to write the part two's to several of the Klaroline one shot's I have lined up. It's just that I have so many ideas (Literal six google doc's pages worth). It may take some time (Even years) but all the part two's I have told you guys about, will come out… Eventually.

Also, I saw this on YouTube, and just had to share it. (One of the few things I actually am looking forward to, when watching the originals). Like that moment when Rebekah realised that they were screwed. Loved it.

For those of you reading on , I sadly can't add the video or the link. So here's the name of the video: The Originals 1x08 Klaus fights Marcel

Anyways,

KLAROLINE FOR LIFE!
