In this story Caroline and Tyler are just friends, nothing more. Klaus is already a hybrid, he used Katherine in his ritual but she did survive and became a vampire who came to Mystic Falls and warned the gang about Klaus. Most of his siblings are undaggered as you'll see in the first chapter. Also witches who have newly discovered their magic or can't control can be compelled, bit if they can control it they have the ability to resist compulsion. As well, the famous Klaus 'genuine beauty' speech has been changed to be Caroline's words rather than his and she heard it from her 'biological' father when she was a child.
I hope you enjoy it and please tell me what you think :D
Caroline knelt against the pool of blood on the floor of corridor in the school and listened out to hear the sharp voice of a female, presumably Rebekah Mikaelson as she dragged Tyler Lockwood along. Damon, Stefan and Elena had already been taken to the school gym. Elena had already tried to escape, stupid move but commendable on Stefan's effort to refuse to bite her. Unfortunately for Elena, Klaus had caught her and dragged her back to the crowd. Stupid plan Damon, if you'd only just listened to me first.
Flashback:
"Damon, you can't go up against an Original hybrid, the man who's been hunting the Petrova doppleganger for the last 500 years." Damon scowled at her.
"Since when did you become so anti-optimistic Blondie?"
"I didn't, I'm just being realistic so that we can make a real plan. Get into his mind Damon, he won't back off until he's got Elena, so we need to make a deal."
"Look Blondie either join the plan or get out, you're not useful here and your plan is rubbish." Caroline looked over to Stefan and Bonnie.
"Stef, Bon, you can't seriously believe this plan which is full of holes."
"Care, Damon's plan is good, just get close to Klaus and stake him." Caroline rolls her eyes as she receives a smug smile from the jackass (Damon)
"Did you not just hear the part where I mentioned that Klaus is a 1'000 year old vampire with 3 other siblings who can easily kill us!" They all turn their heads away from Caroline.
"Like I said Blondie, get in or get out and stay out. Bye" Caroline turns and walks out of the door as she creates her own plan seeing as her friends are going on a suicide mission.
…And that's how she ended up here, sneaking around the school on prank day trying to save her friends.
"Now witch, I suggest you figure out a way to save your dear friend Tyler, otherwise he's how do you say it, oh yes, screwed." Klaus' voice echoed through the corridors making Caroline move towards the school gym.
"I've already checked all my grimoires, there isn't any solution, I don't know." Bonnie screamed at him.
"Well then check again or you'll be responsible for little Tyler's death." Caroline took a deep breath in and swung open the gym doors as she entered resembling a woman as smooth as a feline.
"Don't bother Bonnie, the answer isn't in any of your grimoires." Everyone turned to look at the gorgeous blonde who had silenced everyone including the Originals.
"Caroline?"
"Blondie?"
"Who the bloody hell are you?" A man with chestnut brown hair carrying a baseball bat shouted.
"Caroline, Caroline Forbes and seeing as your brunette and carrying a baseball bat, you're Kol Mikaelson. It's a pleasure to meet you." Caroline says as she approaches the centre of the room and smirks at him. The man narrows her eyes in return.
"Lovely to meet you sweetheart, mind telling me why the hell you're here?" Klaus says as he smirks at me and his sapphire blue eyes darken by a shade.
"I'm here to make a deal." She says resolutely
"A deal? Either you're incredibly stupid or incredibly brave."
"Neither." Klaus raises his eyebrow and steps toward Caroline. "I'm just well prepared."
"Well prepared for what exactly? You're merely a baby vampire compared to us." I smirk at Klaus knowingly.
"Well, let's just say that if I was the one who wanted to produce an army of hybrids then I'd already be half way across the country producing them since I'd have all the necessary ingredients. Imagine it, hundreds of hybrids ready to serve me, one produced every second with no sweat." I smile slyly as Klaus' face hardens but quickly returns to a fake smile.
"Hmm. Care to let the class know of these oh so important items?" She tilts her head and lets her eyes blaze with an all-consuming fire which causes Klaus to clench his jaw.
"Now why would I do that?"
"So I don't kill your sweet, innocent friends!" He snaps at her. She slowly nods her head and steps a few paces forward to Klaus.
"Oh come on Klaus, you're a 1000 year old hybrid, you should be able to use that brain of yours to figure it out. It's unbelievably obvious." She keeps walking closer to Klaus as Rebekah and Kol stand to attention and the other man, dressed in a suit, probably Elijah, tilts his face to listen and analyse the brave blonde who is taking on his temperamental brother.
"Tell me." He says threateningly.
"Use your brain, the answer is in this damn room. If that isn't a big enough clue then you must be completely brainless!" Caroline shouts at him.
"TELL ME!" He shouts.
"Dear god, if you can't work this little teeny winy problem out then what can you do? It must be so relaxing in your head, not being me." She giggles and spins to face her friends and away from Klaus.
"Caroline, sweetheart, get to the damn point." Klaus says lowly.
"My point is the deal. You give me your word that you, or any of your associates, won't hurt anyone we care about and I'll tell you the very special, extremely important ingredient you're missing." Rebekah scoffs.
"You're not going to believe this blonde bimbo are you?"
"I'm not a bimbo"
"Totally are."
"Am not"
"Didn't anyone tell you not to argue with your capturer?" Rebekah asks rhetorically.
"Didn't anyone tell you that those jeans are last season?" Caroline snaps back. Kol lets out a whistle.
"Wow, I like her Nik, very feisty." He says as he runs his eyes over Caroline's body whilst she rolls her eyes and Rebekah scowled.
"So your word?" Caroline says expectantly. Her bravery made Klaus' fury rise as he pinned her against the nearest wall. His body pressed against hers and she looked into his eyes in mild surprise.
"Do you know how easy it would be for me to kill you? How extremely tempting it is to snap your pretty little neck?" Klaus drawled as he ran his fingertips down her neck, slowly over her pulse and finally across her chest.
Caroline swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat and tried to ignore the pleasant burn of his touch. The jackass was threatening you! Why the hell are you thinking about him in that way? She thought as she threw her feelings to the back of her mind and channeled all of her courage.
"For starters, stop groping me." Caroline fiercely said as she pushed his body off hers. "Secondly, snapping my 'pretty little neck' won't kill me, neither will it answer your questions. And thirdly, I'd appreciate it if you didn't continue to talk to me like one of your little minions Klaus." Caroline hissed. Sure he could kill her but she'd take her chances since she had the upper hand.
Rebekah wolf whistled and looked impressed towards Caroline. "Actually, I like her" she declared. Damon, Stefan, Elena, Bonnie and Tyler all looked at each other in awe and worry.
Ignoring his sister's comment, Klaus fully focused his attention on the woman before him. "What makes you so sure that I won't rip out your heart right now love?"
Caroline shrugged her shoulder amusedly, "you would have done it already." Klaus glared at her, growing tired at the lack of response to his threats and her games.
"Are you suicidal sweetheart? What makes you think that you can get away with talking to me like this and not suffer any consequences?" Caroline grinned, she was enjoying this little game of cat and mouse.
"Someone once told me that there's a whole world waiting for me," she said softly, remembering the words that her father had uttered to her on the night he gave her away for her own protection, "Great cities and art and music…genuine beauty," she whispered the last words softly whilst her eyes glittered with tears, she felt warm with the memory…those words had been her safe haven and made her strong when nothing else did. "I have yet to experience these things and I believe that I'm not leaving this world until I do. So no, I'm not dying tonight." She said as pure emotion laced her voice. "Your word?" she whispered as they stared at each other. Klaus looked mesmerized, the perplexed expression remained on his face as his hand rested her on her shoulder.
"Fine…I give you my word…my word that neither I nor any of my acquaintances hurt anyone you care about and in return you tell me what I need to create a hybrid." Caroline slowly nodded and her face remained pure, afar from any mask or character.
"Tell me, what was needed to turn you."
"Enough games, I gave you my word." He murmured.
"No games, just answers. Tell me."
"Magic"
"And…" his face expressed confusion until his eyes widened and whispered,
"And…blood."
"Whose blood…"
"Tatia"
"Otherwise known as the original Petrova doppleganger. The missing ingredient is blood, the doppleganger's blood." Elena inhaled sharply as Klaus searched Caroline's eyes for a lie but her gaze was pure.
"Prove it." He said resolutely as he removed his hand from her shoulder. Caroline moved towards Elena as she got out her Swiss army knife and flicked it open whilst Klaus' eyebrows raised at the knife.
"Trust me." She whispered as she knelt beside Elena and slit her wrist letting the blood pour out into a plastic cup. When it was nearly half filled, Caroline grabbed a towel and placed it onto Elena's wrist and moved towards Tyler and gave him the cup.
"Drink it" Klaus said as he watched in awe when Tyler let the blood run down his throat and his eyes burned yellow and sharp fangs appeared. "Well done love, I'm impressed." Caroline raised her eyebrow as if to challenge him. "However…seeing as you know so much about me, you should also know that in this family, Elijah is the honorable one." He smirked, "Not me" Klaus instantly flashed towards Elena to grab her when she screamed at his approach, but before he could even touch her, he was thrown back slamming into the gym wall making the plasterboard crumble.
"You're right, I should know and I do." Caroline smirked at Klaus who felt his eyes go yellow and tried to flash at Caroline but was again thrown back.
"WHAT DID YOU DO!?" he screamed as he flashed up to stand tall.
"While I know so much about you, you should know a little about me. The moment you gave me your word, you became bound to a blood oath, meaning that if the terms of our contract wasn't met then you would be hurt. Simple magic really." She said cockily.
"But…how…you're a vampire, not a witch, you can't be both." He mumbled trying to figure it out.
"Think again Klaus."
"Impossible" everyone murmured and he originals stood to attention
"A vampire-werewolf hybrid is impossible and yet here you stand before me. A vampire-witch hybrid is impossible and yet again I stand here before you."
"YOU TRICKED ME!" Caroline shook her head.
"Let's just call it an added insurance, like you said before, I know you, but don't worry, I'll help you if you want, I can still get you the blood." He was perplexed.
"How?"
"Artificial blood, I get a sample of Elena's blood and recreate it, simple really." She smirked and began to approach Klaus again.
"You can do that?"
"Yep, that's what happens when you take AP Chemistry at degree level, your brain gets filled with all this knowledge that is perfect for situations like these."
"And give me one good reason to go along with this." He asks as he moves closer to Caroline and their noses are only a few centimeters apart.
Caroline inches forward and whispers "curiosity"
"Don't you know sweetheart, curiosity killed the cat…" he smirks as he glances down at her lips.
"Well don't you know, sweetheart, satisfaction brought it back." Caroline smirks. "Go on, Klaus, I dare you..." she murmurs as her peppermint breath hits his lips. They enter a heated staring contest when Caroline's phone suddenly rings and plays Staying Alive by Bee Gees. Klaus' eyebrow rises and he glances down at her pocket. "Mind if I get that?" she asks pursing her lips.
"Oh no, please. We're in no rush." He smiles as she smiles back. Caroline reaches for her phone as everyone looks on. "Hello? Yes of course it is, what do you want?" She mouths at Klaus 'sorry' when he mouths back sarcastically 'oh, it's fine'. Caroline's jaw suddenly clenches, "No, I said twinkling lights not strobe lights!" she hisses in the phone drawing back everyone's attention and making them become puzzled. "Its prom not a strip club!" she says "Well, I suggest you undo that order and get it right." She closes her phone and turns back to Klaus. "Sorry about that, the prom committee think they can pull of strobe lights instead of twinkling fairy lights when the theme is supposed to be 'A night under the starts'." She rolls her eyes before taking in a deep breath. "But let's wrap this up quick, I've got some girls to give a good talking to. Now where were we, oh yes, would you like me to produce the blood then or would you prefer to find a witch who doesn't exist to break the blood oath which can't be broken?" Klaus shakes his head slightly and returns his gaze at Caroline.
"Fine, you produce the blood and I get my hybrids."
"Glad we got that sorted." Caroline turns and starts to walk out of the gym when Damon calls her back.
"Is the psychopath leaving already?" He says sarcastically. Caroline spins round to face him and gives him a condescending smirk.
"I'm not a psychopath, I'm a highly-functioning sociopath. Do your research. Oh and how long did Bonnie leave for last night?"
"Oh don't pretend you worked that out, somebody told you that!"
"Your deodorant told me that." Everyone gives Caroline curious glances.
"My deodorant?" Damon asks confused
"It's for men" she drawls out.
"Of course it's for men, I'm wearing it!" Damon shouts as if he's stating the obvious.
"So is Elena" she sniffs at the air "ooh…I think it just vaporized, may I go now?" she says while rolling her eyes in boredom.
"Now, look Blondie, whatever you're implying-"Damon gets cut off as Caroline's melodic voice fills the silence.
"I'm not implying anything. I'm sure Elena came round for a nice little chat, and just happened to stay over. And I assume she scrubbed your floors, going by the state of her knees." Caroline smirks at Damon as he glares at her and Stefan stares at Elena in shock as she turns away as her eyes fill with tears. "I'm sorry Stefan, Bonnie." Caroline sincerely says to Stefan as he glances at her and gives her a small smile and nods returning his gaze to Elena while Bonnie continues to look between Damon and Elena in shock. "Now I must get going ladies and gentlemen, prom committee to scold…Ciao!" She turns on her heel and walks out of the school.
"Miss Forbes is…" Elijah begins,
"Very…um..." Kol follows,
"Definatly…" Rebekah says,
"Yeah…definatly…something…" Klaus whispers in awe as his eyes gaze at the exit she took, "definatly something" he murmurs breathlessly.
