So this is basically what happens after I watch TVD scenes before the episode. I watched Caroline's confession about her acts with Klaus because… well I had no time to watch the episode and I needed to know. So then I got to work and I was just thinking and then my brain just stopped.
What if Stefan hadn't been there to stop Tyler. This is what came out. It starts after "Katherine" Elena and Caroline talk about Klaus.
Chapter 1
"Omg," she heard Elena say and she turned around and locked eyes with Tyler. She should have checked. She knew Tyler would be present at the party; it was thrown in his honor! Why hadn't she made sure if he was within hearing distance? She knew why, she was distracted; by Elena's response, by talking about her actions with Klaus, by thinking about them…
And now Tyler knew about it. He descended the stairs and their eyes were locked on each other. She couldn't decipher his expression. He looked hurt, angry, accusing but almost… numb. How much had he had to drink tonight?
He was walking away, to his father studies but she couldn't just let him leave like that, not when he didn't know the story. She should at least explain herself; say something, anything, to make this better. She knew nothing would fix this though, he would be upset with her; she had expected him to be when he found out. She had just never anticipated him finding out.
Thinking of something to say to your ex-boyfriend is hard enough, thinking of something to tell him after he finds out that you slept with someone else… much more difficult. But having to explain why you had sex with his enemy… that's impossible. What could she possibly say? She had no idea, but she had to try.
She quickly entered the studies and noticed Tyler nursing another drink, he could hear her walking in and without turning around told her to get out. She ignored him, he needed to listen to her, she didn't want to lose friends over this!
"Just let me explain," she pleaded, tired already with having to explain what she had done and she hadn't even started. She shouldn't need too; they had all had their fair shares of inappropriate relationships. Tyler had made out with Matt's mother for God sake.
"No let me," he told her harshly but she could sadness overtake his voice. "Klaus killed thousands of people, Elena's aunt, an entire pack of hybrids, my friends!" he growled, "Caroline," at this he finally turned to face her and she stared at the ground while he continued, "He killed my mom!" his fist clenched and the glass he was holding shattered. She winced at the sound and the anger he was showing, she needed to calm him down, there were people downstairs and she couldn't leave him like this.
"I know, I know, I'm so sorry," she said softly while walking towards him.
"Just stop!" he interrupted her and she stopped moving. She could feel that she didn't need to agitate him further. She had seen Tyler lose control before, seen him angry over Klaus. She remembered when she agreed to go on a date with Klaus to help her friends and he threw a glass at her. She didn't think he would hurt her, but she didn't want to test that theory either.
"I walked out last time, now it's your turn!" he told her and she remembered what she had told him when he chose his revenge over Klaus. But Klaus hadn't chosen revenge over her, that's why this had happened. If only she could say something, if she could find the words… "Go," he nodded towards the door and she grew anger. Just because no one ever fought for her, doesn't mean she wouldn't do the same. She needed him to know her side of the story, even if it hurt him further. She wasn't going to let him make assumptions or be mad about this, it was her choice!
"No," she told him and shook her head she walked another step, coming closer to him.
"Don't take another step, Caroline!" he told her and shielded himself from her while she got closer.
"If you would just," she wasn't sure what she was going to say because it was that moment that Tyler shifted and showed her his hybrid face. She hadn't seen it often, especially not directed at her.
"Just leave!" he growled at her and she walked back a few steps in fear, wincing at the sound of his roar. Then she corrected herself, this was Tyler, he wouldn't hurt her.
She walked back towards him with confidence. She would get her words out, he had left her and if he thought he could push her away by putting on a scary face then he was wrong. "No Tyler, you can't be mad about this. I know what he has done but this is not about him. It's about me, I chose," she couldn't finish her sentence because she felt heat wrap around her neck. An intrusion, a sting, and then she fell down on the floor.
Her hand flew to her neck and she pulled it back, noticing how red it had stained. "You, you, you bit me," she stammered and her hand flew to her mouth, "No not again."
"Care I," Tyler walked towards her, his hybrid face gone but blood smeared over his face. Her blood.
"No!" she shot at him, "Don't you Care me, you stay away from me!" her voice raised and it seemed to have drawn a friend. Stefan entered the room, unfortunately just a moment too late.
"What's going on here?" he asked her and his eyes widened when he took her in, lying on the floor, he quickly rushed to her. "Caroline, are you okay? What happened?"
She tried to push him away, didn't want him to see the bite right away. This was bad, this was really bad. Sure she had been bitten before, but this time, this time there was no cure for her. Klaus was gone.
"I'm fine, I'm…"
"Caroline, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-" Tyler tried again and crouched down next to her, resting his hand on her shoulder.
She winced and pulled herself away, speeding to the other side of the room. "You don't get to apologize," she bit out, "You wanted to have me gone Tyler?" she showed her bleeding shoulder to the two men, "Well it seems like you get what you wanted sooner than you had hoped."
She could feel the poison finding its way into her bloodstream, she was already getting weaker. Maybe it was just the blood loss? Or maybe it was that she had survived two bites already, the second bite had taken her much quicker than the first one, and this was three. If there was a record for victim of most werewolf bites, she was sure she was winning it by now.
She tried to keep her balance and leaned against the wall, hoping it would keep her support. She could see Stefan speed toward Tyler and slamming him against the wall, he would surely kill him if she didn't stop him.
She wanted to say something, anything to draw their attention, to stop Stefan from killing a friend. She took a step, letting go of the wall and still had her balance, "Stefan," she yelled and he didn't look at her. He was focused on Tyler, Tyler for his part wasn't fighting him, didn't bite or push, he was allowing Stefan to hurt him, to end him if he must.
She wanted to stop that from happening, she didn't want anyone to have to die! "Stefan," she tried again and took another step. Dizziness overcame her while she took it and she felt down on one knee. She tried to lift herself up but couldn't find the strength to do so without having something to support her. "Stefan," she pleaded while she took a step on her knees, trying to get forward.
A dark haze was clouding her eyes and she could feel the tell signs of losing unconsciousness, she had been through this too many times already, she fell forward with a thud, managing to say one last thing, "Please Stefan, don't," she whispered until she let the darkness take her in.
So the big question... should I continue. I mean I can't let Caroline die now can I? I have two scenario's in my head. Either a three shot or making this a multi chapter fic and it all depends on what you guys favor. I can work with both :)
Also if any of you read my other Klaroline fic Work For It, that will be updated tomorrow. I forgot to add that in the chapter last time, sorry.
But this was just a small chapter to start. It will probably follow some TVD storylines but not that much, I will take my own direction from this episode and Klaus should join them soon. That shouldn't be a surprise :P
