Memories: Part 3/3

Klaus POV

I had picked up on her scent the moment I exited my home, it lingered in the air like a beautiful early morning mist and I followed it as fast as I could, not wanting her to get her-self in any danger. New Orleans was known to be crawling with danger.

She flashed through the woods, I saw the faintish sight of blonde hair moving forward and I followed it with a much fast speed. She knew I was chasing her but she made no move to stop and I made no move to catch up to her. Truth be told, I wanted to get as far away from my family and any spying eyes and ears as possible, because I knew what I had to do but to do it, he must be alone with her, like they were in the forest.

It was the first time I was able to wear my heart on my sleeve; that dusty ole thing hadn't seen the light of day in centuries and it did that day.

When I had returned to my sister and exited Mystic Falls, it was a bittersweet moment for me; I was happy with the outcome of my day but sad of the fact that I would never see her again. I promised her and I did plan to keep my promise but in a way, I made the situation in way that she would come to me now, not the other way around.

When she was ready, she knew where to find me and I'll show her the world, just like I promised.

I would have told her on my own terms eventually, after all I did promise never to return to Mystic Falls, calls and texts were never mentioned in the deal. I would have called her and left a voicemail explaining everything to her and then I would allow her to call me.

Yet Hayley had to open her mouth the one time when she should have kept it shut.

Then again, she looked like she was ready to pop so I could see the fact that there would be no way to avoid the Q and A.

Since my arrival back to New Orleans, I have been in a wonderful mood for the first couple of weeks, I had thought that having memories of her and our coupling would keep me company until she was ready to be my last love but as time when on, the memories that I once thought to be a blessing turned out to be a curse in disguise.

The memories tortured him greatly. He felt nothing like this before.

I believed that being curse by a dead hunter was horrible; I was gravely wrong, so wrong. These memories kept reminding me of something I could have, it was at the tip of my fingers but if I reached for it in any way whatsoever, it would vanish in front of my very eyes.

My mornings were filled with agonizing dreams of my memories and so many different ways the night could have turned, all of them being something I wanted desperately from her, to come with me and leave Mystic Falls behind but I would wake and curse the hell I woke into, wanting to return to the heaven that is my dreams.

My nights were filled with desires only she can sate, needs and comfort that only she can provide, yet she isn't with me so I had to settle with the cold sheets and the cold bed and wallow in my agony until sleep takes mercy on me, and even then its mercy came at the price that I would relive those memories throughout the rest of my night.

Rebekah had noticed my sad mood and we went out for drinks. We almost drank the bar empty and came back home in a fit of laughter, reminiscing of the past.

That's when a familiar, all too familiar scent caught my attention and my eyes landed right on her…

In my home, standing right in front of me

Then everything happened in slow motion for me.

From the slap to her words, I had only snapped out of it when Rebekah mentioned those two words and in a flash, I was gone.

Now here I am, running in the woods behind her, hoping that she would let me explain all of this to her but it seems that I might have to stop her myself, something I was holding off but going too deep in these words isn't safe considering all the witch madness happening at this time.

End of Klaus POV

With that, he quicken his pace and in a flash, he grabbed Caroline, who squealed in surprise and darted away from the darkest parts of the forest before placing her back on her feet and against a tree, where she squirmed against his hold.

"Caroline listen to me" he tried but Caroline shook her head in response, she wasn't having it.

"There are dead powerful witches that I had the pleasure of killing many years ago, suddenly being risen from the dead, one I recently got rid of wasn't the most dangerous one and I don't need any of them getting their hands on you so running carelessly into the woods you are not familiar with is dangerous" he explained, causing her to stop squirm and sigh in frustration, before nodding in agreement.

"Now that you're done fighting me, let me explain…" she cut him off.

"There's nothing to explain Klaus" she sighed and she looked up at him "There's no space in my life for you and there's none in yours for me, we don't fit, we never did"

"Caroline, Hayley's condition does not change any of my desires for you, it never did then and it doesn't now, I meant it when I said that I intend to be your last love"

"You lied to me Klaus, I don't think…" he cut her off again.

"Caroline, if I did tell you that I was about to become a father and the mother of said child happened to be the woman who tricked us all in the name of family, you would have never been honest with me. You would have hidden your feelings under revulsion and I would have returned to New Orleans asking myself the same question over and over again" he said, knowing all too well, he would have felt guilty for something he had done on impulse and anger at her, as if he didn't spend every day regretting that night when he sees Hayley.

"You're right" she spat standing tall and proud and glaring at him "I would have hidden my feelings under repulsion and gone my merry way, and what happened in the woods would have never happened and I wouldn't feel the way I feel right now"

He almost winced at her words, did he make her feel guilty, and did she think that what had happened was a mistake?

He glared at her, angered by her words now "If you wish to lie to yourself and claim it to be just some random fuck or us having sex then go ahead love, no one's stopping you but know this" he stepped closer to her, backing her into the tree. He stood in front of her, a breath apart from each other. She could stretch her lip a little….

"You made your confession and now I'm going to make mine" he took a deep breath, his entire being suddenly trembling in fear of her reaction but it was either this or lose her forever "For a thousand years, I've believed love to be a weakness, it makes kings kneel and men stupid and I cannot have any weaknesses, especially since I run a kingdom where everyone's looking for a way to bring me down. However, since meeting you, I've realized that for a thousand years, I knew nothing if just how to spell the word 'love'. When I gave you Tyler's freedom back, it was not to get in your good graces but because I cared about you too much to hurt you by harming any of your loved ones." The last part came out in a hushed tone as if he didn't want anyone to overhear his confession "I never killed Tyler when he came after me, because I knew you would never forgive me for it, regardless of your current relationship status. The reason I never came back for revenge against the death of both my brothers was because of you, the reason Tyler still has a head is because of you, the reason I was never able to gloat over Katerina's corpse to be is because of you and if I had the chance to go back in time and change anything I wouldn't change a damn thing, I would do them all over if not sooner"

"Hayley was a 10 minute mistake and I've sentenced myself to a lifetime of torture by just looking at her and hearing her voice. She is the constant reminder in my life that I might not be able to get the one thing I want and I'll have to settle for some dull constellation prize. To this day I do not believe this hybrid baby madness but Elijah is so adamant of finding redemption for me that he'll believe that pigs fly if it coaxes emotions out of me"

"If you wish to stand there and honestly tell yourself that you have no idea what I feel then that's your choice, I have lived for a thousand years and never in my immortal life have I ever made love to another woman like I had with you. I cannot and I refuse to even think that what we shared, regardless of the place was some good fuck. It disgust me to ever think—"

He was cut off by her lips, and oh what a delicious way to shut him up.

Rebekah suddenly smiled at the news "Does this mean I can kill her for what she just did?"

"No" everyone replied, causing the blonde to glare at them all.

Nadia turned to look at Elijah "Now that we got all the ugly out of the way—" Hayley glared at her "Can you help us get Katherine's body back?"

Rebekah's head snapped at Elijah, as if silently telling him no but he ignored her "Of course Katerina, I'll have our flight set up tomorrow and hopefully, if Damon plays nice, we'll be back by nightfall"

Katherine actually smiled in return, not a smirk but an actual smile, one that Nadia didn't miss.

Rebekah glared at Elijah's head "You're going to seriously help her after Nik gloated in front of her soon-to-be death?"

"Actually" Katherine interrupted causing Rebekah to glare at her "Klaus never made it to the Salvatore's"

"What do you mean Nik never made it to the Salvatore's, if he didn't then where was he the whole—"

Rebekah was cut off by Katherine and Nadia's suggestive looks, which made her realize that Caroline was the reason for her brother's happiness but she never actually asked how she did it to begin with.

Rebekah then scoffed but the ghost of her smile was there "It must have been one hell of a—"

"Rebekah, I'd rather not hear about my brother's latest's conquests if you don't mind" Elijah stated, interrupting her from finishing her sentence.

Rebekah smiled "Don't be such a virgin brother"

He smiled in return "Oh I'm anything but dearest sister"

Rebekah frowned at that "Now who's being disgusting?"

"Great" Nadia exclaimed; wanting to get out of this place as quickly as possible "Now that we've settled this, I'm going to book us a room, and get some vervain" Nadia made move to leave the room when Katherine stopped her.

"What's the vervain for?"

"Elena will be waking up, not you. Remember?" Nadia reminded her but Elijah stopped them.

"That won't be necessary; you're welcome to stay here"

"In the very home of a thousand year old hybrid who literally travelled all the way to Mystic Falls to gloat over my corpse-to-be? No thanks" Katherine deadpanned "You however are very welcomed to join" she smirked.

He smirked in return "You have my word; no harm will come to either of you under this roof"

"That's funny, because I'm not worried about the roof" Katherine smirked "Try again"

He actually chuckled this time "No harm will come to you; you have my word, Katerina"

"Better" she turned to Nadia "His word is as good as gold. He'll quicker kiss your feet than break it"

"Katerina" Elijah warned.

"She's not wrong" Rebekah quipped, causing Elijah to glare at her for agreeing.

Hayley, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke up "So what happens now?"

Everyone turned to look at her when she spoke.

Elijah and Rebekah shared a look before returning their attention to her.

"You should leave the city, call Tyler and tell him this new revelation and confirm that the child is in fact his and not my brother's. Niklaus would throw you out when he hears of this and I will not have any more unpleasantness to occur on such a lovely night" Elijah replied in a dismissive tone.

Rebekah smirked and turned to Hayley "Come on, I'll help you pack. The faster you leave, the better"

With that, both Hayley and Rebekah exited the room.

Nadia made her way towards the door as well but Katherine stopped her "Where are you going?"

She turned around with amusing eyes "I will not stand in a room filled with sexual tension between the two of you, you're still my mother, it may be cute but it's still disgusting"

"Going to seek Rebekah then?" Katherine asked with knowing eyes and Elijah glanced at Nadia then.

"You're the one who killed my boyfriend, I blame you if I seek my pleasures elsewhere"

"He was planning to kill me, I did you a favor" Katherine gasped dramatically, defending her actions.

"Thank you mother for killing my boyfriend without solid proof that he was actually going to kill you but now I seek my pleasures where I know I'll get it" Nadia smirked.

"Of all people, the Original Blonde? Where did you meet her anyways?"

"Paris and I didn't meet her, Rebekah and Matt Donovan met me. I just joined the party" Nadia laughed at Katherine's frown.

"That's enough, I'll still your mother"

"Fine, stay out of my sex life and I'll stay out of yours"

"Fine"

"Fine"

Nadia left the room, leaving Elijah and Katherine to their devices.

The room was then filled with...that sexual filled tension again as they stared at each other intensely. Neither one of them was plannnig on breaking their eyes away from each other anytime soon.

"So" Katherine said softly, breaking the silence "What did Hayley do to deserve your venom?"

He cleared his throat of any and all uncertainty "She made me break my word"

Katherien gasped dramatically, causing him to smirk "Your golden word? Off with her head"

They both chuckled at her words.

Then that deafening sexual tension was back and the silence followed.

He knew what he wanted to say, but he feared her reply. He feared her words. He chose his brother over her and it would be a choice he would make again in a heartbeat but that didn't stop his heart from breaking. He had to put his family first before himself.

Katherine suddenly smiled sadly "Elijah I understand. Nadia is here so I understand why you did what you did. It's not that I was attached to my own body too much to ever take up Nadia on her proposition, I don't want to take her life away from her. I put myself in this position, if anyone was to die becase of it, it would be me so I understand. Doesn't mean that it didn't hurt the way it did because it does but I understand" She maneuvered her way towards him and he met her halfway.

"Where does that leave us then?" he asked, taking a step closer to her.

"You tell me. When I get my body back, Klaus is going to continue to hunt me down, he might kill Nadia as a way to get back at me or something but there are only two things that can happen when I get my body back. We can either ditch this city and go to my Villa in Rome and fuck each other's brains out or I can get my body back and we'll never have to see each other again"

In a flash, he grabbed Katherine, linked her legs around his waist and slammed her against a wall, causing her to gasp loudly at the pain that shot through her core. Her arms automatically linked around his shoulders and her fingers lingered on his hair.

"I vote for none of the above" then attacked her lips with his with a hunger that both shocked and pleased her.

Klaus slammed her against another tree and proceeded to remove her jackeet, just like she had done to him and flung it to the side, not particularly caring where it ended up. She worked to remove his jacket as well and tossing it to the opposite side as their lips never parted for even a millisecond. He meant it when he said that she was a glorious kisser, she kissed with fire and passion like no other and he was obseessed with her lips. He thought about ripping her shirt but she immediately removed his hands and proceed to part from his lips, quite reluctantly to remove the offending clothing.

It was like a war they were having in the woods, they attacked each other with kisses while their hands removed any and all clothing from them, leaving both Caroline and Klaus stark naked in the dark forest.

That's when everything suddenly slowed down between them. They stood in all their naked glory just staring at each other. Both panting in desperate need for air and each other but Klaus wanted this time to fully admire her, in all her glory.

Suddenly, she feels nervous and shy, like the first time...god he made her feel so, so good so beautiful so wanted, but also so inexperienced compared to a thousand year old man that had to perfect the art of sex and what a woman wants and oh how perfect it was.

Now she stands fully naked for his eyes to see. Its pitch dark out but her pale skin illumitates her into a glow.

He takes his time, walking towards her and she stays standing where she is, against a tree, hands clawing at the barks as if beggng them for him to move faster.

Suddenly, he's in front of her, looking down at her while she looks up into his eyes, so much adoration and love in them almost makes her cry but the shiver that runs down her spine when a lone finger touches her cheek stops her.

Then, out of nowhere because if she knew he was going to lift her, she wouldn't have squealed out so loudly, she's lifted into his arms, against the tree. Her legs are wrapped around his waist and she locked her ankles together around him.

Then again the smile she was greeted with when she looked down at him was so full of happiness she couldn't really complain.

They stare at each other for so long that the anticipation of what's to come has them both sweaty and panting. Then he enters her and he has to fight with his eyes to keep them open. That's how strong the sensation was. The slick wetness that sucked him in greedily and the warmth that spread through him like a wildfire, weakening his legs only slightly but he fought to keep his composure.

Its been too long, far too long.

Its only been two months but it feels like forever, no it feels like a thousand years. She wonders if he can keep her up like this the whole way. She knows he's strong and she is up against a tree, that much she do know but can he stay like this, holding her up for so long, right?

He doesn't move, neither does she, they stay like that, joined, panting heavily at the feeling, clinging to each other desperately and she wants him to move her so bad, she will beg if she has to, he just stares at her, no smile, no frown, just an intense look that has her head dizzy.

Then he slips out almost completely before slowly and sensually, while still staring at her, slides right back in, causing her to take in a sharp breath and he sucked in sharply.

He knows what's doing. He's punishing her, torturing her. Just like she had tortured him. For two months, well a couple of weeks, give or take a few, he had been tormented by his memories of her, the memory of her hands, of her lips, her body but most importantly, her smile. He'll never forget that smile for as long as he shall live. He hadn't truly known torture until those few weeks.

He kept the slow pace, torturing her and him-self in the process. They breathed into each other mouths deeply, the occasional moans would be thrown in here or there and he hadn't realize what she had done until after he smelt it, but she was clutching his scalp so tiightly that the scent of blood clung to the air like a child to its mother, further arousing them.

Mystic Falls was different, he had promised her, whether she remembered or not that they would have hot hybrid sex and the forest, the very forest she had mentioned this to him so long ago, seemed fitting.

"Klaus" she moaned. It was meant to call him but it came out as a moan, sue her if she moans, he knows what he's doing for crying out loud!

Instead and leaned down a bit and pecked his lips before whispering "Lie down"

He freezes and looks up at her, really looks up at her and he could see her eyes, the blue-green in her eyes glisten at him. Who was he to deny her what she desires?

He pulls out of her, relcutantly of course and lowers her to her feet. She then takes charge by using her vampire strength to push him down.

He looks up, shocked by her move but she doesn't give him the time to dwell on it, because she climbs on top of him and enters slowly, just as he had done to her, until she has taken him all him. Inch by glorious mind blowing inch.

He clenches his jaw to prevent himself from moaning and watches as she pulls her hair back so that he has a better view of her and oh he loves what he sees.

She slowly rides him and stares straight into his eyes. She sees his jaw clench and his eyes stare intensely into hers and the urge to make him lose control is building. He took the control from her, can't she do the same?

He wants a better view at her so he elevates his upper body using his elbows to look at her as she takes gives him pleasure. She has no idea what amount of control he truly is holding onto. His throat is getting scratchy and the urge to drink her blood makes his gums ache. His eyes are burning to show his true nature but he cannot bite her, his bite is lethal to a vampire, he can kill her because of his inability to keep himself under control.

She can feel that familiar burn in her gums and the familiar ache in her throat. She gets it when she's hungry and not for dinner but for blood. Only this time, it's not any human blood she wishes to taste, but his. The urge is there, attempting to break out of her control but she will fight to keep it at bay.

She quickens her pace a little and loves the little growl she heard from the back of his throat, she can see his fingers clawing at the dirt beanth his fingers from the corner of her eye but what really catches her attention, is the hint of amber in his eyes she can see, as if he's also holding on to the same control she is.

Her pace quickens, trying to make him lose control, so she can control his pleasure like he controlled hers... he's lies back down on his back and looks up at her with hooded eyes now and his hands move from the dirt to her hips. Not guiding her but just massaing her skin there. It feels good, but she wants his hands elsewhere...he doesn't need to ask, does he?

She removes her hands from his chest and places them over his hands, then she glides them up to her breasts and helps him to squeeze them, she moans in response.

She removes her hands and he massages her breats on his own, switching from massaging them to pinching her nipples.

She keeps on moaning and his touches continues, he trails a hand to her stomach and trails it back up to her neck. He makes move to sit up but she pushes him back down and to keep him there, she clenches him, tightly.

He groans in response and she can see the yellow in his eyes as clear as day. His mouth is open slightly and she can see the fangs, begging to be releaasd.

She decides that he needs encouragement so she allows herself to be completely bare before him, eyes red with desire for blood, veins around her eyes visible thanks to the moonlight, and her mouth hung opens, showing off her fangs.

Klaus has never seen a more beautiful creature in his entire existence, even as a vampire ,she is stunning, in all her glory.

"Beautiful" he mutters in a raspy voice.

She bites back the urge to smile at his words.

She quickens her pace, feeling herself coming close to that wonderful edge and she wants him there as well.

Her face hasn't changed back to normal and this gives him the urge to have her bite him. To have her drink from him,.

He raises his hand to her and says "Bite me"

She wants to, she wants to bite him so badly, but the vein in his neck she had been eyeing for quite some time was what she wanted, not his wrist.

She grabbed his hand and instead of sinking her teeth into it, she pushes it aside and attacks his neck with a brutal force and she grinds down on him even faster.

He hisses at the attack but his arms he previously offered now wrapped around her, keeping her close to him as he allows himself to let go of some control.

His amber eyes glisten in the darkness, his fangs elongated as he pants heavily against her shoulder.

His blood taste amazing. Just like she remembers, he throbs inside of her; she can feel him getting close as well. She pulls away from his neck to lap up the remaining blood that trickles down his shoulder. She then whispers "Come with me Klaus"

He growled and before she knew it, he flipped her on her back and he thrusted into her, causing them both to moan at the feeling and he buries his face into the crook of her neck as she cries out, being undone in his arms.

He growls into her neck, following behind her as he too comes undone and they lay in the dirt, panting against each other, entangled in sweat and blood on the forest floor.

Katherine had tried to sway his attention to her lips and keep him there, because as much as she wanted to be with him, she will not have sex with him in Elena's body. If her body was invested with worms she would have had a different say on the matter but her body is fine and well and she would not sate her core with Elena's….well core.

Still, she allowed him to remove her jacket and pull down the straps of her dress so he could reach her shoulders but that is as far as she would allow him to go.

But his head was getting lower to Elena's cleavage and she tried calling him, she really did but it always came out in a moan.

Also, he had her pinned under him on his bed and she may be 500 years old but he was a thousand years old, she had no chance. To make things worse, his hands were trailing her Elena's thighs so softly, you would think he's a gentle lover but whoever thinks so is a fool.

She did the one thing that usually knocks him out of his cloud of desire. She grabbed onto his hair softly, massaging his scalp and very gently-

Who are we kidding, he's an Original for crying out loud-

SHe pulled his head up to meet her gaze and called him.

HIs eyes looked like he was clouded with lust and desire and sometimes she loved that, right now, she didn't need it.

"Elijah" she called "Try to remember that this is Elena's body"

His eyes widened slightly, remembering the fact that He had yet to retrieve Katerina's body and he jumped off her in utter shame.

"Katerina..." she put her hand up to stop him.

"It's all right Elijah, it's a good thing we didn't go too far then" she sighed,

"It seems we'll have to postpone this until you return to your body"

Katherine smirked "It seems we do"

They stared at each other in complete silence before they heard Nadia's voice from behind the door.

"Now that you're done, the hybrid and Caroline is coming back and I'd like to not be here alone with him please" she stated.

They both rolled their eyes but Katherine got up and fixed her clothing as Elijah straightened his tie.

Caroline and Klaus entered the Mikaelson home, smelling of woods, blood and sex and Nadia held back the urge to puke in her mouth. Caroline noticed Nadia and asked "Where's Katherine?"

Before Nadia answered, Katherine did, exiting Elijah's room with Elijah in tow "She's right here"

Caroline and Klaus looked up to see Katherine flashed down the stairs with Elijah right behind her, Klaus smirked at that.

"Don't worry brother—"

Before Klaus could finish his sentence, Elijah had grabbed him and lifted him off the ground, before throwing him against a wall. Klaus grunted in pain before looking towards Elijah for an explaination, but Elijah was in front of him in an instant and he was punched to the other side of the room before he could utter a word of questioning.

Caroline, Katherine and Nadia all just stood there and watched, all of them knowing why Elijah was attacking Klaus.

"Let me guess, you're mad I didn't allow you to say goodbye to your beloved Katerina"

Elijah's responded by kicking him in his stomach hard, watching as he flew against a wall and he grunted at the impact.

"You know how I feel about her, yet you kept this from me" his voice held no vemon or spite but a calmness that said volumes to those who knew Elijah. Elijah then started to roll up his sleeves, not wanting to get blood on his clothing.

"Well I was perfectly fine with allowing you to move on with the mother of my child, I see no reason to allow an old flame to come between two people in love—"

Elijah picked him up and flung him across the room, Klaus landed on a table not too far from the girls who just stood there and watched.

Caroline turned to Katherine then "Wait, Hayley and Elijah?" she asked in a hushed tone, realizing what Klaus had said.

"I wouldn't worry about that ever happening or Hayley for that matter" Katherine stated dismissively "You know how Hayley has a way of pissing everyone off"

Caroline was a little intrigued "What did she do?"

Katherine watched as Klaus and Elijah go at it like children while explaining everything to Caroline "Elijah will quicker learn to fly than break his word and if you make him break his word, you're as good as dead to him. To his siblings, he makes an exception, and Elena for some reason but Hayley made him break his word, she's dead to him now"

Suddenly, there was a loud crash behind Caroline and in fright, she shrieked and turned around, finding Elijah on his ass on the floor, spitting blood from his mouth and glaring at Klaus who had blood oozing from the corner of his lips and the side of his eye. She knew the wounds had already been healed but this has gone on long enough, Katherine is alive and well and going to get her body back, there is no need for the fight and furthermore, there would be hell to pay if any of them 'accidently' harms her in any way.

"ENOUGH" she yelled, causing them all to stare at her but she paid their stares no mind "Are you children done? Because you're destroying all the furniture"

Elijah look slightly offended and slightly in shock. Klaus looked almost proud but the blood on his face just didn't mix well at all.

Katherine laughed "Impressive"

The two Originals glared at her in response but Katherine shrugged it off and joined Caroline's side.

"Now that you boys are done playing, I'd like to get one thing cleared up before I return to my body" she looked at Elijah first, then Klaus "My Freedom"

Klaus chuckled "There's nothing you could offer me in return, your feelings for my brother saw to that" he added, gesturing to the cure she had in her possession but gave it to Elijah out of love she had for him.

Katherine smiled "What if I had a story you should know that has something to do with Hayley and the child she carries?"

Caroline snapped her head to stare at Katherine "Seriously?"

Klaus smirked "Depends…"

She raised her eyebrows, silently asking him to continue.

"If this story of yours is worth your freedom then you will have it, if it's not then I'm afraid I can't help you"

Caroline turned to give Klaus a 'Seriously' glare in which he just shrugged.

Katherine just smiled and Elijah held his tongue, curious as to how this would play out.

Elijah wasn't stupid, he smelt the blonde girl all over Niklaus and he smelt Ms. Forbes all over his brother, which meant that they were together and his brother had a smile on his face so he wanted to know just how powerful is his brother's affections is for this girl.

"Hayley left Mystic Falls after you 'protected her' and stopped by a bar to get drunk. She did get drunk or something because from what my guy said, she met Tyler Lockwood at this bar, they got even more drunk together and slept with each other. She didn't remember a thing the next morning, or until recently"

Caroline turned her attention back to Katherine "Wait, Ty and Hayley hooked up?"

"That's all you heard from that?" Katherine asked incredulously "Not the fact that the child she carries isn't Klaus's but Tyler's?

Caroline froze and shook her head in disbelief "Seriously!"

"What you're telling me…" Klaus trailed off as he slowly walked towards her with a beaming smile "Is that the child Hayley carries is not mine?"

Katherine smirked, nodding at his words.

He was relieved, that was for sure. The only reason he went through the lengths he did to protect Hayley is to get Elijah off his back about it really and now that he found out that the child doesn't belong to him, he's not only free from him but he's also free to kill her and be done with her once and for all.

Elijah would not be up his ass about the baby constantly and he wouldn't have to worry about some stupid little wolf all the time.

"It seems you have earned your freedom" he chuckled "You did it by being you of all things, who would have known…"

She smiled and immediately flashed to Elijah, hugging him tightly. He returned the hug and smile with equal if not more glee, holding her to him securely.

"Young love…" Nadia commented, causing everyone to finally notice her presence in the room as she smirked at Katherine and Elijah.

Klaus smiled "Ah, you're the spawn of the devil aren't you?"

"I've been called that once or twice, but yes Katherine is my mother" she replied with little interest.

"Are we going to have any future problems with each other?" he asked, wanting to deal with her now before it was too late. He didn't like dealing with the sons and daughters of people he killed, the children always came back to bite him in the ass and wasn't about to allow that to ever happen again.

"I don't think so, but for future reference, don't kill my mother or I and I won't try to kill you. Sounds fair?"

He smiled "I like you"

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves" she quipped and he frowned, wanting to take back his previous words.

One Year Later

Caroline remembered the scene when she returned to Mystic Falls like the back of her hand as she packed away her clothing, it bought back more painful memories than she needed right now.

When Klaus, Elijah, Nadia, Katherine and Rebekah reached the Salvatore boarding house, it was not a surprise that Damon tried to hurt Nadia when he found out that Katherine sought help from her and her traveler friends to put her soul in Elena.

Long story short, Damon and Elijah had an all out, well needed fight in the living room, trashing everything but in the end, Damon had no chance and Stefan had to stop Elijah from killing his brother.

Stefan then told them that he placed Katherine in the tomb where Damon thought she was in for over a hundred years and Katherine almost hugged the Salvatore for the fact that he placed her in a coffin.

Katherine was much happier to see that her body was perfect, her words not mine. She grabbed her own head, did the spell and Stefan was right there to catch Elena while Katherine sat up with a gasp and was happy to finally be back in her own hot body.

Elena made one giant fuss about the fact that Katherine had taken over her body and to calm her, Katherine apologized, but Elena wasn't having it which led to the Originals departure. Caroline made it clear to him that she'll visit as much as she can but her she belonged in Mystic Falls for the time being.

He accepted that and Katherine and the Originals left but Nadia stayed with Caroline.

She then waited a couple of days before telling Elena about Klaus, just like Katherine said, Elena had slut shamed her for it. Caroline threw her relationship with Damon in her face, called her a hypocrite and taking Katherine's words to mind, told her that she Caroline who had been compelled to have sex with Damon and be his puppet can look past the fact that Damon is a bad person to be happy for her and she can't, then they shouldn't be friends.

Caroline had moved out of the dorm room she shared with Bonnie and Elena and Nadia enrolled herself to the school and had a dorm room for them prepared. Caroline hadn't spoken to Elena for the next 6 months since then.

She kept contact with Stefan who was more of a friend to her then than Elena. In fact, Stefan had joked about not being invited. From then, she started calling Klaus on occasion. He had it a nightly ritual to call her, when there was no witch trying to kill them in their sleep of course.

When holidays and school breaks came, she flew straight to New Orleans like two or three days after being off from school. She used those days to be with her mother, who after hearing how Caroline felt about Klaus, chose to be happy for her rather than shun her for her actions.

When she went to New Orleans for summer break, Stefan followed and he'd not even stepped into the mansion for five minutes before being tugged by Klaus first and kidnapped by Rebekah soon after. Nadia had stayed behind with Matt and they had their own little party in Matt's new Mansion. Tyler had moved to some state up north with Hayley as far away from the Originals as possible after confirming that the child was in fact his.

When she returned to Mystic Falls for school, Elena tried to talk to her but Caroline couldn't look at her without being reminded of the look of utter disgust on her face so she told Elena that she accepted her apology but she couldn't find it in her to forgive her yet.

Bonnie was a bit harsher with her when she found out, but Bonnie had apologized for her words before that week had ended. Elena took almost 8 months to see past her hate for Klaus.

When she spent her Christmas with her mother, it was then she made her decision and her mother wasn't on board with it at first but came around after a couple of days. She told Bonnie her decision as well and Bonnie took it upon herself to tell Elena who tried to change her mind with every excuse in the book but Caroline was adamant on her decision and in the end; Elena came to the conclusion that she couldn't change her mind. Caroline had forgiven Elena a few days before new years and spent some days with just the girls and she used that time to explain to them how she feels when she's with Klaus.

They were all happy for her.

When time for goodbyes, there were tears involved and Damon being Damon all but kicked her out the boarding house.

She flattened all the tires on his car before she left in her car, giant grin on her face.

Now that Caroline had all of her clothing packed away very neatly in his room, he did make space for her clothing of course, always thinking ahead and she smiled before climbing on his bed and grabbing the plate of strawberries and tiny bowl of chocolate before grabbing her phone and dialing the familiar number she knew all too well.

"Hello Caroline" he smiled into the phone, driving up the road to head back to the manor.

"Hey, whatcha doing?" she asked so sweetly.

He smiled "I'm heading home; Elijah and I finally got rid of his former lover witch Celeste"

"So that means New Orleans is now Anti-Original safe?"

He chuckled infectiously at her words "Yes I believe so, when are you coming for another visit?"

"I'm thinking maybe for summer break…or Valentine's day… maybe both"

"Maybe this time you could leave the dead weight back in Mystic Falls" he suggested with a serious tone.

She giggled "Klaus, Katherine has every right to visit as I do; you know she and your brother are still together. Who knew Katherine can have a committed relationship?"

"Still waiting for the punch line?"

She laughed "I think we both are, but you're waiting for a reason to kill her"

He chuckled in response "I might not be hunting her down but she uses Elijah as a way to run from the Spawn when she stops returning her calls"

Caroline snorted "Since when are you so invested in the lives of Katherine and Nadia"

"Since they can't keep their drama to themselves and must allow the entire household to know" he replied.

"She's a very passionate person, her words not mine" she giggled.

"She's delusional too. She believes that because she's my brother's current bed warmer, she has rights to do as she pleases in the house. Rebekah and Katherine argue all the time about some of the stupidest things on the planet and to top it all off, if I get home and find that Spawn of hers lounging anywhere in my home, I'll kill her and blame it on one of the vampires in the Quarter" Klaus complained, making Caroline laugh at how childish he sounds.

"Klaus stop acting like you don't like her, you sound like Elena, judging her just because she's Katherine's daughter. You and Nadia have this love-hate relationship going on"

"I hold no feelings for the girl whatsoever" Klaus stated. He pulled up into the garage and parked his car, before making his way into the house "So for your next visit, how long are you planning to stay and you better not say a week because a week is far too short love"

"I know" she groaned "I didn't get to do any shopping with the girls, no drinking at all, just locked in your room having sex for an entire week"

Klaus passed Elijah in a corner with Katherine wrapped around him in a compromising position and he smirked and shook his head at them before running up the stairs towards his room "Am I hearing you complaining love, am I really that horrible?"

She giggled "I refuse to inflate your giant ego"

"Come on love, you're not going to let me know when you're coming to New Orleans so the least you could do is indulge me"

He opened the door to his room, he took a step in and his eyes widened and his jaw dropped at the sight before him.

There Caroline lay—

No, she wasn't in her dorm in Richmond; she was here on his bed—

Not just on his bed, no she was wearing the most stunning lingerie he's ever seen her in on his bed, eating chocolate strawberries of all things.

A tiny red slip with floral trims at the neck and hem, it was mid-thigh, showing off those long creamy legs and he could tell she wasn't wearing a bra underneath; her nipples were poking at the material she wore.

Her blonde hair was in a series of bouncy large curls; resting delicately on her beautiful shoulders.

He could see the necklace he bought for her on her birthday around her neck, it was a triangle, like the tattoo on his back and one of his necklaces around her neck, she had placed claim on it and practically ripped it off his neck. Not that he would take it back from her; he would have given it to her willingly.

He still saw the diamond bracelet he gave her so long ago around her wrist, shining with the glow of the room.

She was wearing a pair of red velvet pumps, accenting her attire perfectly and the smirk on her face was absolutely alluring to him.

"I might be staying for a lot longer than a week" was her reply, after he had finished eye stripping her.

He smiled dimples and all before shutting the door behind him.

It started with a Caroline POV and it ends with one, ahhh how Ironic.

Well I expect long reviews either telling me that this is so OOC or it sucks or something.

Back to Senior Year
