I don't own TVD or TO

A/N Wow thank you all so much for the feedback, your enthusiasm is infectious and seriously helps keep me motivated.

So….do they or don't they? Read on and I'll see you at the bottom with some additional thoughts.

Even though I have already rated this story an M so I can be more explicit in my writing be warned the first page or so is my attempt at pushing my writing boundaries when it comes to Sex so it will be more graphic than I've written before

So im soooo sorry for taking so long to get this out to you, I have massive writers block and just prove how much I've been trying to push out this chapter I've left my other authors notes in below lol

17.01.2016 -URRRRGGGGHHHH colour me frustrated….. I'm in the UK stuck with tedious…. Lets pair Caroline off with every TVD cast member we can but not the one the fans want her with on TO (Alarics babies WTFudge)…vamp diaries on ITV2 when I reallllyyyyyyyy want to be getting my Jospeh morgan fix on the SYfi channel, but Syfi have not confirmed an air date yet. With TO now on its mid season break at this rate it will be completely over before I get a sniff at ep 1. At which point SyFi whats the fudging point of me watching it? A brief look at TO news had already clued me to Camis demised which I'm pretty exstatic about until I ready it was after Klaus and Cami had made some kind of love declaration and make out (pass the bucket), one article describe cami as the love of his life…. Which brings me back to urrrrrgggghhh Cami is so NOT the love of his life, I a really hate that the shows writers still try to put that in there.. Apprantly she'll be back, lets hope to god its not as a vampire because shes a shameless Caroline replacement as it is. Klaus and Cami together for some reason makes me really angry I'm not routing for them at all, it doesn't make me want to watch, if anything its makes me want to stop watching.

I haven't actually started to watch TVD this season yet, I'm recording it and reading the ep synopsis but that's it. I think I might be falling out of love with both shows.

However I haven't fallen out of love with routing for Klaroline end game.

08.02.2016

So I here there is a Phone call spoiler alert, I don't mean to sound ungrateful but a phone call?… all or nothing peeps all or nothing.

Should have known that it would be Saint Stefan that gets to do the crossover, stiring the KC pot with a big smug wooden spoon no doubt. I hope Klaus knocks him out, for taking advantage of Caroline while her switch was flipped. Stefans old enough now for the switch to pretty inaffective.

02.03.2016

So I totally caved and checked out the you tube video of the 'converstation' OMG i so cant stop watching it lol FYi to fellow UK fans the orignals s3 is currently available on Amazon uk instant streaming – dosnet help me as I don't have a subscription to amazon video at the moment, I'm holding out for netflixs

07.08.2016

Still haven't seen S3 of TO be lucky if Netflix picks it up by October, sad times in the UK another good show not picked up for the UK fan base. Thank god for E4 picking up supernatural that's all I can say, at least I've still got my Sam and dean fix. It was a dark time when living tv dropped it and no one picked it up for nearly two years.

29.08.2016

So I've finally been able to catch TO S3 on Netflix and I really love it, despite the Klaus and Cami story line. I am a hard core Klaroline fan however I do think that the Klaus/cami thing was played out pretty well in the end, in that 'yes he does love her' and I find myself oddly respectful of that but there are so many different levels of love. to me he lost his best friend but certainly not the love his life, (kol and Davina's performance was the true lovers loss) as always Klaus and cami lacked on screen chemistry and any kind of passion when it came to their romance.

I don't own any of this except my own characters, my mistakes are my own and there are probably a few I've read this through sooo many I can see the wood for the trees anymore. Sorry if it seems like I've repeated myself anywhere.

Chapter Three

Klaus groaned as Caroline's kisses turned from soft to hungry in seconds. Her attempt at dominance over him was cute but never one to be submissive for long he quickly flipped them so that he held her just underneath him. His hand buried itself in her hair as he kissed her back just as passionately, her head tilted back and her body arched up in to his eager for them to be chest to chest. He left her lips and began a trail down her neck to her chest, his hand moving from her hair to her back. Slipping it under her shirt his palm flat against her smooth skin. Caroline pushed them back into a sitting position, nestling comfortable into his lap. The evidence of his arousal pressed tantalising against her as she kissed him hungrily again. Not wasting anytime he ripped at her shirt throwing it to one side leaving her heaving chest on display in a red lacy number. He wondered briefly if she sported matching underwear. In return she tugged at his shirt pulling over his head in-between kisses. His hands where eagerly all over her, the aroma of her arousal was intoxicating. He snapped off the bra leaving her breasts free to his administrations. Caroline growled with satisfaction as he took one nipple in his mouth. Her fingers dug into his back as she groaned with pleasure, he looked up at her through hooded eyes. The sight of her with her head thrown back pushing her body closer to him, a silent cry for more on her lips. His skin was on fire from every touch from her. His eyes widened as she opened her eyes and gold shone down at him, in that moment the almost desperate need to claim her as his own washed over him., like a man stepping out of the dessert and being offered water for the first time in days. Her fangs dropped, and his eyes shone gold back at her as he pulled her back in for another ravenous kiss as he allowed his own wolf to responded to hers. Her hips began to gyrate in his lap as she rubbed herself against him. He was about to flip her onto her back and rip away her under garments when he felt the sting of her claws in his back. At first he was more turned on until a second later when he realised her claws where digging in deep. Caroline pulled her head back from the kiss sharply. She threw it back this time in pain not in pleasure. Her Hybrid features where on full display. The sound of her arm cracking followed by her scream brought Klaus down from his sexual haze. She fell back out of his grasp her body contorting on the ground. 'She was turning?' "CAROLINE" He shouted, he moved to kneel beside her, his hand firmly on her shoulder. "Your turning love you can stop this"

"I can't" she sobbed

Her body convulsed again with the sickening sound of more bones cracking.

"Yes you can" he argued

"I CAN'T" she yelled in between screams,

At a loss at what to do Klaus reached into his baser instincts, for a few seconds he considered letting her turn, the pull of her wolf emerging enticing his out to play. He forced the thought away and reached out snapping her neck. His breathing was heavy as he watched her body fall limp on the ground contorting back to its human form. His hormones where ranging his wolf so close to the suface, her half naked body laying next to him was doing little to douse his desires, even unconscious she was glorious woman. He reached for his discarded shirt and pulled it over her head.

He sat back, resting his arms on his raised up knees, employing every technic he'd ever tried getting his own inner desires and werewolf under control. Following her lead and running free in the woods was enticing but a frivolous distraction he didn't have time for. His eyes burning yellow from the effort.

00000000000000

Caroline's eyes fluttered open, as her vision cleared she realised she was watching the dying embers of the camp fire. Her body had been laid out on one of the sleeping mats by the fire. the sound of a shovel hitting the ground could be heard behind her. She surmised that Klaus must be disposing of the bodies.

At the thought of Klaus, she groaned and rolled onto her back. She pushed her hands into her hair and covered her face with her fore arms.

As far as embarrassing intimate situations go this was way up there, she let out an exasperated sigh as she lifted her arms away from her face and tilted her head towards the digging sound. Klaus was digging shirtless. The first rays of dawn were peeking into the forest and the light hit him just enough for her to appreciate his form as he dug. So far he hadn't shown any sign that he was aware that she was awake. She bit her lip nervously wondering what his mood would be. She stood, cautiously making her way over to him.

She hugged herself, thankful for the oversized shirt to cover her modesty. When he didn't stop digging, she cleared her throat "Thank you for the shirt" she said meekly.

Klaus threw the shovel to the side and jumped out of the hole. He said nothing as his eyes raked her over. He nodded, "Get the bodies, let's get this over with"

He stalked off to grab the nearest body and lumped into the hole. Sensing that he really didn't want to talk right now Caroline quietly set about helping him gather the bodies. When they were all buried they silently made their way back to the car.

Klaus threw open the trunk to retrieved a clean shirt while Caroline climbed quietly into passenger seat. She pulled her legs up to her chest, and leaned her head on the window pain. Her hand was buried in the shirt and pressed against her face. She took a moment to close her eyes and inhale the now familiar scent. It was soothing and her eyes drifted closed, by the time Klaus climbed into the driver's seat she had dozed off.

Klaus effortlessly manoeuvred the car back out onto the highway. He glanced at Caroline from time to time, temporarily glad of the silent reprieve. His calculating mind went over the events in the woods. So far making more hybrids had been an epic fail but it could be done that much he knew. He had himself and the living proof in the passenger seat next him to vouch for that. The burning question was how had Caroline done it, the blood she'd consumed clearly hadn't been readily available in the woods and seeing as he'd tried human, werewolf and vampire, he'd been left with witch blood but something about that didn't seem quite right either. Caroline had been trying to distract him from figuring it out with everything she had. he rubbed his lip thoughtfully, his free hand guiding the steering wheel. Stefan's compelled loyalty should have had him asking more questions before taking off, unless Stefan knew what Caroline knew. Stefan had been decidedly off with Caroline he'd assumed it was because of Damon but what if there was more to it. Cleary they both knew the blood source and they were protecting it. 'The Bennet witch' he mused. He rolled the possibility around in his mind strategizing and played out several scenarios before shaking it away. Stefan's got no reason to protect the Witch, especially as she failed to save the doppelganger. 'The Doppelganger' The thought hit him like a freight train. The ritual stated very clearly that the doppelganger had to die but what if it was a trick. What if her blood was the key and in killing her he wouldn't be able to create any hybrids? He cursed under his breath, the original witch had almost screwed him over again. Elena was alive she had to be. Somehow the witch must have fixed it so she'd survive. In a cruel twist of fate somehow he'd won. A slow grin spread across his face and his day suddenly got better.

0000000000000000

Caroline's fluttered her eyelids, she blinked blearily as she took in the sight of Cars speeding by on the other side of the high way. She rubbed her eyes and sat up straighter, her foggy mind remembering where she was. Her eyes flicked to the driver, her mind trying to remember if the events of the last 48 hours or so had been real. Klaus grinned at her 'morning… coffee?' he gestured to the take cup in the holder beside her.

She grasped the cup "mmm thank you" She sipped her coffee in silence wondering what Klaus was so happy about. "Where are we going?" she asked once she started to feel more awake.

"Chicago"

"Oh yeah, I forgot sorry…soooo what's in Chicago more wolves?"

"No actually… My sister" Klaus responded nonchalantly

Caroline's eyes widen in surprise "Oh…and we are going to see her because?"

"Not see as much as wake up… She knows where to find our pack"

Caroline wasn't sure what to make of the 'wake up comment' so she decided to focus on the latter comment "You have a pack? Why don't you know where they are"?

"It's a long story love and its we, we have a pack" he gave her an impish grin

She rolled her eyes, "no its your pack... I'm just along for the ride until I figure out how to get myself un'bit" she lifted her tattoo wrist flashing it in his direction to make her point"

Klaus's hand shot out and grabbed her wrist, his grip was light "I'm pretty sure I'm the only one that can release you from the pack love" his thumb lightly caressed her tattoo. A shiver ran down her spine from the spark of desire a simple caress from Klaus could cause. She pulled her wrist out of his grasp.

"Well…we will see about that I guess"

She glanced out of the window catching sight of road sign indication how far it was to Chicago. Internally she groaned it was still going to be a few hours before they got there.

"How do you know they are your pack?"

Klaus sighed, "My family lived in a village not far from a local werewolf clan. We traded with them so we grew up familiar with their clan mark. After I turned for the first time the mark appeared on my wrist. It soon became clear that the man I'd grow up believing was my father was not. My mother had had an affair with a man from the wolf clan and I was the product of that affair. My step father sought to decimate the clan the night my mother cursed me. It wasn't until I was free and confronted my mother that she revealed to me the truth that my father was the Alpha of the crescent moon clan. I should have taken over when he died but I was cursed. Now I'm uncursed I intend to take my rightful place as Alpha of the pack"

Klaus focused on the road avoiding her gaze, unsure as to why he'd felt the need to share some of his history with her.

"And force them to be hybrids as well no doubt" she bit out

He growled "Your making assumptions love"

Caroline scoffed and leaned forward to get something out of her handbag, the shirt slid down exposing her shoulder. She absentmindedly swept all her hair to one side, exposing her neck to him. He licked his lips as he felt the now familiar attraction to her rising. He gripped the wheel tighter and fixed his eyes steadfastly on the road. Caroline pulled out a compact mirror leaning back as she flipped it open, "Urgh" she huffed as she took a good look at herself.

"Can we stop somewhere?"

He shook his head, "I just stopped for coffee so not for a few more hours at least"

Caroline huffed "And you didn't think it might have been a good idea to wake me up?"

Klaus chuckled "What and miss the treat of you in my shirt all day although if its bothering you. You could always take it off. "The dare in his eyes was evident

"Fine" she huffed

For a moment he thought he'd won.

Caroline smiled smugly as the car swerved minutely as she tugged of the shirt and threw it on the back seat. Leaving herself bear and exposed in the front seat

Klause blinked and smiled "I'm not sure how you think I wouldn't enjoy that view sweetheart"

Caroline looked at him demurely "I'm sure you wouldn't but what about the other drivers…" She turned and wound down the window. The warm breeze whipped her hair out behind her, she took a deep breath. An idea occurred to her, something she'd seen in a movie once but never thought she'd ever be brave enough to do. Vampirism had given her a knew freedom she was still coming to terms with. In one smooth motion she placed her hands on the window sill and pushed her body out of the window. Her hips leaning against the inside door to steady herself.

She threw her arms above her head cheering and waving frantically at passing cars.

For a moment Klaus was genuinely gob smacked at a 1000 years old he liked to think of himself as unflappable but Caroline just kept surprising him at every turn. He chuckled lightly to him, although he enjoyed her new found sense of freedom. She was drawing attention, some cars honked and as they passed by. Within a few minutes blue flashing lights appeared in his rear-view mirror. The police car pulled alongside them and gestured for them to pull over. It didn't deter Caroline however she blew the police officer a kiss as Klaus pulled over. She slipped back in the car, beaming happily to be met with a Klaus glare.

She rolled her eyes "Chill grandad, I'll take care of it" The officer knocked on the driver's side window. Klaus rolled down the window

"Keys please sir" The officer looked through the open window at them

Caroline leaned over placing her folded arms on Klaus leg, her breast resting on his thigh hiding neatly behind her arms. He shifted in his seat as he felt himself stir, Caroline flashed him a knowing smirk.

She fluttered her eye lids at the officer "What seems to be the problem officer?"

The officer wore a cool mask of professionalism "Miss I'm gonna have to ask you to put some clothes on"

Caroline smiled sweetly "Of course, now that we've pulled over I'll just grab something out of the trunk" She flashed Klaus a smug grin as she slid back over to her side and popped open the car door.

Klaus glanced back at the officer as Caroline exited the car, for a few seconds the officer was unware that Klaus had caught him watching caroline retreat around to the back of the car. Something possessive growled in his chest at this man getting an eye full of Caroline his hand reached for the handle to open the car door.

Caroline hummed to herself as she opened the trunk and began to rifle through her suitcase. Pulling out a yellow summer dress she slipped it over her head and shimmied out of the skinny jeans. She was just fixing her hair into a loose bun when she heard the other car door slam. Klaus appear at her side follow by the police office.

He grabbed her arm and pulled around to her side of the car facing away from the road. She glanced briefly at the officer as he followed mutely.

"Klaus?"

"Although entertaining I'm not impress with this little stunt Caroline. Officer Joe here has already called our plate number and our descriptions back to base."

Caroline shrugged "And? What does it matter, Aren't you the all-powerful hybrid"?

"IT MATTERS" he yelled,

Caroline was momentarily taken aback by the intensity of it. There was a hint of fear in his eyes that worried her. What could he possibly be afraid of?

Caroline stepped up to the officer her eyes dilating "You never saw us; you never saw this car"

She turned back to Klaus "see easy"

He flashed a dimpled grin as he shook his head. She yelped startled as Klaus moved like lighting sinking his fangs into the officer's neck. He stood behind him, one hand on the officer's neck, the other tucked under the man's arm.

He felt Caroline clawing at his arm "Klaus stop please, there's no need to kill him" she sobbed, she hadn't meant for this, for someone to get hurt

He lifted his head. His vampire face on full display, blood dripping from his mouth.

"Please just heal him and let him go"

The smell of the blood was causing the black veins around her eyes to creep in. Klaus appraised her for a moment. "let me see you feed from him, then you can heal him and let him go"

Caroline looked at the already open bite mark on the man's neck. She stepped forward, she felt her fangs drop and she leaned in.

Any other time Klaus knew watching Caroline feed would have been a major aphrodisiac for him but he pushed those thoughts aside.

He watched as she feed "Open your eyes and look at me Caroline" Her yellow eyes flashed at him. He stalked around her as she procced to bleed the officer dry.

"Can you hear his heart slowing?" He asked

Caroline growled a bit harder

"And I thought you want to save him"

Caroline's heart was thumping in her chest, she let go and pulled back with a gasp as the officer's body collapsed to the floor dead.

She brought her hands up to her face, "Oh my god…I…I... I couldn't stop, "her watery eyes looked at Klaus "Why could I stop… I'm not a killer. I don't kill not since…" She trailed off

She lunged at Klaus beating her fists on his chest "What did you do to me?" She stepped back disgusted with herself. "I have this whole new beast crawling under my skin and it wants to be free all the time…I…I…"

She locked eyes with him "I can't control it, you have no idea the effort its taking me to not turn right now and just…. just"

"Be free?" Klaus interjected for her, she nodded mutely. He grasped her hands tightly pulling her towards him "Yes I do" he admitted "You've got to learn to control your wolf don't let it control you"

She shook her head "I Can't"

He held her firmly "Yes you can and I can help you"

It dawned on Caroline just how close they were standing, his hand clasping her hands tightly to his chest. A rare honesty in his eyes that had her believing him. She sniffed and nodded "Thank you"

Caroline slipped back into the passenger seat as Klaus took care of the body. In a few minutes they were back out on the highway. A silence fell between them that Caroline felt oddly reassuring rather than strained. At first she found herself enjoying the peace and quiet after the hectic nature of the past few days it was nice to relax for a while and not worry. Never one to be silent for too long she soon struck up a conversation. To her surprise 'Klaus' when relaxed could be extremely amicable. The conversation drifted to the places he travelled and he regaled Caroline with stories of his adventures. She even found herself laughing along with him as a natural banter settled easily between them.

Klaus glanced at her as she laughed a warm smile on his face "So where have you been?"

She sighed "I've never really been anywhere. In fact, this is the furthest from mystic falls I've ever been."

"So where would you like to go? I'll take you… Rome, Paris?"

Caroline rolled her eyes, "How about we start with Chicago, you might turn out to be a really annoying travelling companion"

Klaus chuckled "So you will travel with me then, just so long as I'm not annoying?"

"Yeah, you, me and an entire pack. I can't wait" she added dryly.

"You almost sound disappointed you won't be alone with me love"

Caroline blushed "that's not what I… how much further to Chicago?"

"About an hour"

"Ok good"

00000000000

Klaus pushed open the door to the storage lot, he strolled in purposefully. Caroline cautiously stepped in behind him. She frowned as her eyes fell upon several coffins. "your sister is in here?"

Klaus pushed open the lid of the coffin, "Caroline, I'd like you to meet my sister Rebecca"

Caroline looked down at the young woman in the coffin, her skin was like ash. She appeared to be dressed like a 1920's flapper. What struck Caroline the most was the dagger in the woman's heart.

"Did. Did you do that?" she indicated to the dagger. "You. killed you own sister?"

Klaus scoffed. "Hardly, we're not that easy to kill but the dagger dose incapacitates us" he indicated to the other coffins "Well them… it doesn't work on me"

Caroline looked at the other coffins "Just how many of you are there?"

"I have 1 sister and 3 brothers, Elijah you've met. Kol and Finn are over there"

He reached into the coffins and pulled the dagger from Rebecca's chest.

They both stood silently waiting for about half an hour. Caroline remained silent as she watched Klaus demeanour change as he became increasingly agitated, till eventually he spoke. "Now, now Becca there's no need to be so dramatic" he huffed and turned his back on the coffin "You'll have to excuse my sister she can be quite childish at times" He threw the word childish over his shoulder knowing Rebecca could hear him.

"So what's taking so long" Caroline ventured

"Well it seems my petulant sister is bearing a grudge."

He turned back to the coffin, "Hurry it along Becca darling before I change my mind and push the danger back it"

Caroline barely saw what happened next, Klaus staggered back from, the coffin as he turned she gasped as she spotted the dagger sticking out of his heart. She stepped forward as Klaus fell to the floor momentarily dead, "Klaus?" Her eyes widened as she spied the now empty coffin. A strong hand grabbed her waist from behind and yanked her head to the side exposing her neck, before she could protest she felt fangs rip into her jugular. She tried to scream but found her voice silenced. She fought against Rebecca's grip and torn her herself free, she turned to face the other original, holding her healing neck. Her stance defensive, "What the hell Bitch!" she managed. The colour had returned to Rebecca's skin. She looked at Caroline nonchalantly "Sorry I thought you were the snack my brother usually brings along as a present"

"No, I'm not!" Caroline spat

Rebecca licked her lips, savouring the last drops of blood "You taste different. what are you?"

"Bite me again and you'll find out" Caroline threw out confidently, she turned back to where Klaus lay. His eyes snapped open and he yanked out the dagger as he stood.

"Hello Rebecca"

"You bloody wanker Nik, How long this time?" Rebecca tapped her foot impatiently. Her eyes narrowing in on Caroline's dress. She picked her nails phaining boredom, "poor Nik did you get so lonely you've resorted to carting a whore everywhere you go, no wondered you've decided to wake me up. Now get rid of your toy and lets gets going"

Klaus smirked as Caroline let out a disgruntled snort, he followed his arms and looked on as Caroline let rip.

"Let me make myself perfectly clear I am not a whore or an anyone's toy. Your brother has woken you up because you're the only one who knows where to find our pack. Now play nice or I'm sure if I ask nicely he'll put you right back in that coffin" Caroline wasn't really sure if that was true but Rebecca didn't know that. She saw the unease cross Rebecca's face as she glanced at her brother clearly wondering if Caroline was right. Klaus for his part did nothing to confirm or deny the statement. He grinned at his sister clearly happy to keep her uneasy.

"Your pack?" She muttered trying to find what she was missing

"Now's a good a time as any to tell you. I broke my curse Becca. I'm whole again Now sister let's get you some new clothes and then we can talk"

000000000000000000000

A few hours later Caroline gratefully pushed open the door to the hotel suite Klaus had procured for them. Rebecca had pretty much been a whiney spoilt bitch during the whole expedition. Clearly trying her best to get back in her brother's good graces but giving Caroline a verbal lashing whenever she thought Klaus was out of earshot. Caroline had tried her best to remain neutral, in fact the whole day had been a good exercise in keeping her wolf subdued. Rebecca pushed past her followed but two bell boys carrying endless bags of clothes. Caroline looked away as Rebecca indulged in a snack from the compelled help. She felt Klaus presence beside her, his lips close to her ear. His warm breath made her shiver with anticipation as he spoke. "Let me see you feed sweetheart"

She knew after the incident with the police office that he would ask her again. She nodded, feeding from humans definitely wasn't her first choice but she understood the need to learn control of her wolf and controlling her blood lust came hand in hand with that. She approached the other bell hop, and slowly began to drink from his neck. The blood called to her and turned her thoughts inwards as she drank focusing on listening to the boys slowing heartbeat. Her werewolf wanted to tear the boy to shreds but for the first time she felt in control. Her eyes blazed golden for a moment before she pulled away from the boy, leaving weak but alive. She licked her lips and glance at Klaus, it's been a long day I'm going to take a shower and go to bed.

Both siblings watched as caroline left the room. Rebecca settled onto the couch as her brother made for the drinks cabinet. When she heard the sound of a shower turning on, her gaze settle on her brother. "What the hell is she Nik! I saw the gold in her eyes" she hissed.

Klaus settled himself comfortable down on the sofa, "She's my first hybrid" he stated calmly

Rebecca sat back the implications of the new information weighing heavily, "You can create hybrids?"

Klaus nodded a sipped his drink, placing the glass on the side table beside him he leaned forward "Yes, now let's discuss the location of my pack shall we?"

Rebecca crossed her arms "So you can sire them in hybrids like her?" she carefully studied her brothers stoic face as he remained silent. His lack of aswer speaking volumes for her. She tried to hide her own worry Nik was to good a reading her . "I'll take you to them… if you give me your word you will give them a choice Nik"

His face turned into a scowl "and what does it matter to you what I do with my pack? sister" he growled

Her face hardened in defiance "I've protected them for a thousand years nik I'm not about to let you waltz in there and started killing them. Give me your word or you might as well put be back in that coffin because I won't help you hurt them."

"I agree with Rebecca" He glanced up at Caroline as she padded bare foot back into the room in sleep shorts and a top, she was busy towel drying her hair. As she sat next to Klaus."

"I didn't have choice to become a vampire Klaus, I know what it's like to wake up thinking somebody you trusted killed you. It'll be worse for them because you're supposed to our Alpha."

He looked at the two women, both giving him equally withering looks imply the implicatiosn of him disagreeing at this point

"Fine" he huffed "I give you my word a choice will be given"

He turned to his sister "Now Rebecca where are we heading tomorrow"

She looked thoughtfull for a moment "Well it's been 90 years…but they we living just outside of New Orleans last time I checked. They will still be in the area."

Caroline frowned "What makes you so sure? It has been over 90 years"

"They are aware of Nik's love of daggering his siblings, they know to stay put if I disappear suddenly"

Klaus nodded "I will ring ahead and get the house ready" He stood and held out his hand to Caroline, "Come on love, let's go to bed"

Caroline nodded and place her hand into his and allowed him to guide away to the bedroom.

Once they were in the bedroom Caroline climbed into bed, surprised at herself for how easily she'd gone along with him. Sure the suite only had to bedrooms but she could have shared with Rebecca or insisted on the sofa. She eyed him carefully as he began stripping off and headed to the shower. He stopped briefly his back to her, he tilted his head slightly back towards her without looking at her, it looked like he was going to say something but whatever it was he changed his mind and walked into the bathroom instead. When the door was closed and she heard the shower turn on she relaxed back into the bed. She liked to think she didn't know when she'd become so easy with being in close proximity to him, but she knew exactly when it was. Somewhere around the time she'd been more than ready to have sex with him. She wondered briefly if he had it in mind to seduce her this evening her heart fluttered in anticipation. She'd made her desire for him more than evident and his for her was evident almost every time she caught his eye today. Deciding to be a bit cheeky, she quickly striped out of her shorts and top and slipped under the covers naked. She positioned the sheet to just cover certain areas and threw one are above her head on the pillow. She didn't have to wait long, when Klaus emerged from the bathroom and towel tied loosely round his waist. she was elated to see him stop suddenly as he drank her in, longing flashed across his eyes and she felt the familiar desire begin to build between them. He surprised her though when he turned away and reached into his bag pulling out some sweat pants. He let the towel drop allowing her and clear view of his backside. "Get dressed Caroline" he said gruffly

His words took her by surprise and she sat up into a kneeling position keeping the sheet against her chest. "Why? I thought we... that?"

He turned to face her at the sound of disappointment in her voice. He was in front of her in seconds cupping her face in her hands. "Believe me when I say this sweetheart, its taking every ounce of control I have not to throw you down on the bed and take what I desire from you. However, until you learn more control of your desires I think it is prudent that we take a step back from the…physical"

Caroline stared into his eyes "You think I'll wolf out again?"

"Can you be sure you won't, I've no desire to snap you neck again sweetheart"

His thumb gently caressed her cheek, Caroline seemed to concede. "Let me go so I can get dressed" He complied and slid out of the bed and she climbed out to pull her clothes back on. She looked back at him as she pulled her top back on, "Do you want me to go sleep in Rebecca's room?"

Klaus rolled his eyes and pulled back the cover, indicating to her to get in.

She climbed back into the bed, careful to not get to close to him. She lay on her side facing him, one arm tucked neatly under her head.

Klaus lay back, there was something he'd been wondering about on an off since the incident with the police officer "Sweetheart, how long have you been a vampire?"

"hmmm about 6 months why?"

"How many did people did you kill when you first turned?"

"I..I killed a guy at a carnival about a day or so after I transitioned…I didn't meant to but I still didn't really understand what was happening to me and I was so angry with damon telling everyone that I couldn't hack it as a vampire and they should just kill me."

Klaus shifted slightly to face her, "You didn't kill when you transistioned?"

"No!"

He nodded and laid back on his back.

"Someone fed you blood from a bag I take it, Salvatores, I wonder why they bothered if they where just going to try and kill you anyway"

"They didn't know I'd turned; I was in a car accident. Damon was convinced to give me some of his blood to heal and that would have been fine, if Elena hadn't of come into my room later that night and smothered me. Or at least I thought it was Elena at the time. I woke up alone, with a hunger I'd never felt before. The sun scorched my skin and the everything was so bright. When a nurse came into check on me somehow I just knew what to do. I sank my fangs into her neck and drank."

"But you didn't kill her?" Klaus as incredulously

"no, I compelled her to forget and to go get me a change of clothes so I could leave"

"While I was waiting the memories started to come back, everything Damon had compelled me to forget, I knew what I was, I knew it wasn't Elena that had smothered me, and I came to realise that my two best friends had been hiding stuff from me for months" she sighed "If I'm honest they've all been a bit off with me since then…" she trailed off a look of hurt and disappointment crossing her face. She let out a bemused laugh, "I should probably be thanking you" She rolled on to her back and looked up at the ceiling. "For being the sacrifice that it is, I wouldn't be here in Chicago otherwise or I'd be dead, either way I'm thankful for not being forced to feel like the monster anymore."

She didn't wait for Klaus's response. She rolled again turning her back on him, pulling her pillow into her embrace and bring her knees up into a foetal position. "Good night Klaus" she breathed into her pillow.

Klaus said nothing but a few moments after she said goodnight she felt the bed shift behind her, a warm body tucked up behind her back and an arm snaked around her waist gently pulling her closer.

"you'll never be a monster to me

Rebecca stepped out on to her private balcony a glass of champagne in hand. She eyed the city scape, marvelling at how much the world had moved on in only 90 years. The noise of city life helped her to try and tune out whatever was occurring in Niks bedroom. It was a trick they'd all had in employ at one time or another when they were forced into close quarters. None of the siblings really wanted to be privy to each other's sex lives. She shuddered as a family they were pretty liberal you had to be when you had super hearing but that didn't mean it was something they wanted to hear. Nik had particular delight for making his conquests scream his name.

Much of what she'd seen in the 20's was gone but she spied a few older building peeking out around the new. It certainly wasn't the first time she been daggered by Nik and woken up decades if not a century later but this was the first time she truly felt old. Previously as a woman all she really had to deal with was a change in fashion, carts became carriages and then the automobile. Buildings got taller as an industrial revolution flourished. She always caught got up fairly quickly but this time for the first time she found the new world around her overwhelming. Nik had been quick to inform her that this time she missed what he called the Technological revolution. She looked down at the device in her other hand, Nik had got one for her. She been awake when the phone had been invented and she could remember the excitement in the house the day Nik had one installed. The device in her hand was more than she could ever have imagined. She had been overwhelmed all day and hid her insecurities behind insults at Nik's consort whenever she could. Nik had indulged her every whim today, guilt maybe for keeping her boxed up or more likely a tactic to keep her sweet owing to the fact she had the information she needed. Although she couldn't deny that he had seemed to be genuinely please to have her around again, how long it was before they were at each other's throats and he was dishing out dagger threats again she could say but she suspected it would't be long 24 hours probably. When they headed down to New Orleans tomorrow and caught up with his pack, assuming they were still there which she suspected they probably were. She'd put some protocols in place centuries ago, they were more than aware that she could be daggered at any point and if they didn't hear from her for an extended period of time then they were to do their best to remain in their last location until she returned. It had worked last time and she prayed it would this time too. As a family they all had a great many secrets and this was hers, when Nik found out tomorrow just how much she'd been keeping from him all these years he was going to be furious with her.

She frowned as she realised that things were pretty quiet in Niks room, she wondered if he'd finally killed the girl. She rolled her eyes as she listened to the girl telling her droll story, and clearly not in the throes of passion. Lifted the glass of champagne to her lips she allowed herself a gleeful smirk anticipating the sound of a snapped neck of a heart being ripped out as her brother realised this new toy was boring. The smug smile fell as she heard the words of comfort nik whispered to the girl. A new kind of fear clawed its way to the surface, 'was Nik falling for that girl' she wondered. In the past centuries her brother had been steadfast in his belief that love was a weakness, he had his fair share of courtships but it always ended badly. She'd never felt fear like this before. The fear that Nik would truly abandon her after all this time in the name of love.

A/N so apologies if I got some of the facts or timings mixed up in Caroline story, honestly I can't remember how long she had been a vamp before Klaus came to town and honestly I can't be bothered to rewatch it. Next chapter we catch up with the pack and with twist I hope you will enjoy.
