"A kidnap?" Klaus cried in disbelief as he gaped at his buddy, Stefan. "Is that your best plan?"

In a coffee shop, they were discussing how miserable their situation was and thinking of all the ways to solve their problems. Stefan was the one to offer this idea as Klaus was too exhausted to even think of seeing the bright side of their lives.

"Yeah, it is all I can think of." Stefan shrugged being nonchalant. But the look in his eyes told he was totally serious about it.

Kidnap? Really now?

"Tell me, you aren't planning to land us in jail!" Klaus demanded, irritation streaming into his voice. Stefan widened his eyes as a way to silence his cracking up friend in the public. "We did masters and we are sketching for a kidnap?"

"We won't get caught, Klaus." Stefan sounded in a surprisingly calm tone. "All we need is a right plan which should be implemented perfectly."

"Losers! Started without us already?" asked Kol, Klaus' younger brother, who appeared with their little sister, Rebekah. From his obnoxiously impish grin, amused tone Klaus understood they both were called by Stefan.

"You can't be serious." Klaus growled, pressed palms to his eyes. As his siblings occupied seats, he continued to disagree. "This is so wrong at many levels."

"Take it as adventure, Nik." Kol suggested, snatching the drink from his hands.

"We'll be risking our lives and hurting someone else's."

"I won't help you guys if you involve kids in this shit." Rebekah chided. "Leave them out."

"Rebekah, not you too." Klaus let out a puff of air. Silence was the only thing answered to him. "Come on, guys." He rumbled, looked up at the ceiling.

Three to one. He knew it, of course; there was no way he could convince them.

"Oh god, this mask suffocates me!" Stefan complained before he removed the black piece of material they brought to cover their faces.

Successfully, they entered the hostel campus—after dealing with the baby Forbes' four personal bodyguards who were on four sides of the building while not getting caught by the regular campus security.

Klaus didn't know if they were going to succeed in their mission of kidnapping Caroline Forbes and blackmailing her mum for huge amount of money, but since Stefan suggested this idea, he had been praying for only one thing—that no one should ever find them.

"Put it on, mate!" Klaus whisper yelled at his friend. He was so nervous about the crime they were about to do. Usually, this wasn't Klaus' style—being tensed over something, whether it is good or bad. This time he was really worried. For some reasons.

Stefan, unwillingly, did what Klaus told him.

On the ground floor, Caroline was sharing room with some other girl. At least one positive. It was the last, corner room that she occupied and there was a window next to the door which would give access outside.

Their plan was to take her unconscious body out of the campus while Kol was waiting with a car.

Unlocking the door with some equipment they brought, Klaus sneaked inside, followed by Stefan.

It was pitch black inside the room.

These girls didn't hear of something called as 'bed-lamp?' Klaus grumbled inwardly.

"Did you bring torch?" Stefan asked Klaus in a barely audible voice.

Klaus bit his tongue in realization. He forgot torch-light.

"Everything except that." He replied in the same tone.

"You're unbelievable." Judging by his voice, Klaus was sure he was pissed off.

Well, that wouldn't bring him torch-light now, would it?

"You have phone?" Klaus tried moving to Stefan's side, but ended up colliding with something. It fell down with a loud thud and went somewhere rolling on the floor.

Oh no. It sounded like some bad omen.

"What?" a sleepy voice groaned from the other side of room. It belonged to a woman. Without any second thought, Klaus reached for the spray can in his backpack and closed the space between him and the slowly waking up woman with two big steps. He was in hurry, he knew it, but he couldn't stop himself from spurting the anaesthetized liquid in the direction of woman's silhouette.

Everything happened in fractions of seconds.

The switches were flipped on, the room was bright now and Stefan moaned in pain before a feminine voice squeaked something like 'hi-yah.'

Klaus turned around to see Stefan struggling on the floor, crying, cussing while a blonde posed at the fallen man.

It took a moment for Klaus to register they were caught by red-hand.

Shit.

This wasn't going to end well.

The woman glowered at Klaus before she asked in a chirpy, demanding voice. "What the hell you did to my friend?"

She was speaking about the woman, who was lying unconsciously on the cot, behind Klaus.

"I swear, you'll be sorry if you don't start speaking!" she twirled her arms defensively.

Klaus would definitely appreciate her if things were in other way. It didn't mean he wasn't appreaciating her now. "Who are you?" he found himself asking.

"Caroline Forbes." Stefan answered with a grunt, sitting up in that position.

What. The. Hell.

She was the candidate?

Klaus didn't even look at her face before he started back at home.

Realization struck her mind, when she understood why they were here. "So, you're here for me?"

Sharp.

"For your information, guys, I know karate." Glaring at Klaus, she stressed on the color of the rank with pride. "Black belt holder. What about you?"

"We didn't even make it to the white belt, love." Klaus muttered back in response, still gaping at her like a dreaming fool. Completely mesmerized. The pet name he used brought fiery look to her sea-blue eyes which had him drooling for the next couple of minutes while the reality faded from his mind. Slowly he scanned her slim figure. Her baby pink cotton nightie was hardly covering her knees because of her posture.

"That would make my work a lot easier." Caroline smirked with a hint of mischief.

Oh, he quite loved it.

"Klaus, to earth! Now!" Stefan growled, brought him to the land of living. Rising on his feet, Stefan backed away from Caroline and moved next to Klaus, anger flashing in his green eyes. Klaus gave him a stiff smile, as if it could be seen through the black mask on his face.

"Why me?" Caroline tensed her jaw, squinted at him, posing that question. When none of them responded, she bent to grab Stefan's spray can on the floor and warned them again. "I'm going to spray this poison into your throats?"

"That's just a drug like anesthesia." Klaus snorted. "And it is not hazardous like you perceive it to be."

"So, my friend is going to be alright?" She asked, sounding hopeful.

"Yeah, you don't have to bother about it." He explained as if he was speaking to a friend. "She might remain numb after waking up in the morning. That's great, isn't it? Stefan, here, discovered it by himself. Such a gem."

"What the hell?" The baby Forbes let out a squeak before she asked in a more serious tone of voice. "How many are there along with you?"

"Here Stefan and I came for you. One is waiting outside the campus. The other is at home. So totally four." Klaus put everything in front of her.

"Really, Klaus?" Stefan cried, turned to him. "You had to tell her everything?" He mocked at Klaus, for blabbering like a moron. "Did you forget to pack your brain?"

"I don't think this bit of information can be problematic."

Stefan was ready to argue with his friend, but Caroline interrupted them. "Guys, guys, just hold on." Both the men in black gave their attention to her amused face. "This is your first kidnap, isn't it?"

Watching that look on her face had Klaus to believe that she wasn't really scared or in fact she wasn't threatened anymore.

"You're wrong." Stefan didn't sound as confident as he should be and that gave her assurance she was seeking, but that didn't stop his pathetic attempt at being cruel man. "We abducted kids before and sold them to—"

"Yeah, sure. Whatever you say, big scary kidnapper." She scoffed, went to her bed to settle down with crossed legs. She had something on her bed which she grabbed it. "You know, a little push on this button could ruin your lives?" she informed with a bright, cold smile. "Forever."

"If you're speaking about your bodyguards, we just put them into sleep." Klaus chuckled when she tried to threaten them.

"Yeah, we did." Stefan added proudly with a nod.

The expression on her face didn't alter as she looked between them. Damn her confidence. "Really? But this one can send signal to my mother's security office."

"What?" Klaus and Stefan gasped simultaneously; unaware of the alarm she had at her disposal.

"Yup. And within seconds they can trace me." Caroline pressured on p before pointing that small remote in their direction. "Now, be good fellas and remove your masks."

They were so screwed, they understood. Klaus gulped a hard swell that blocked his throat. His nightmare was coming true?

Klaus was cautious, tensed and what not, while Stefan was so annoyed. Because of him, of course and he knew what his friend was thinking; this is all Klaus' fault.

Was it?

He couldn't agree with his friend.

After making them to remove their masks, Caroline made them to sit on the floor, in front of her bed while she didn't change her pose at all. She pondered about the reasons they gave when she asked why they came to kidnap her.

"So, whose brother is in hospital?" She wanted to make sure.

Stefan pointed at Klaus in a beat of heart. Controlling this urge to roll his eyes, Klaus only looked at her, hoping she would take pity on them after listening to his sad story, which Stefan weaved spontaneously, and how it became incumbent on Klaus to get money.

At last she decided to react.

"Fine!" she placed the remote and spray can next to her and rubbed her palms together. "I have a proposal." Stefan sighed, and Klaus didn't know what to obtain from it. Her eyes danced in excitement when she said. "I decided to help you."

"What are you saying?" When Stefan tried to get up, she signaled him to stay in his place, treated him with pointed look. Letting out a growl, Stefan went back to his place.

Klaus already knew their attempts would go waste. So, he didn't bother himself with any crooked plans.

"If you didn't change your stance, Mr. Hero hair, then you'll find yourself in prison." She said nonchalantly before she came up with her choice. "I'll let you kidnap me on one condition."

Who would co-operate for their own kidnap? This woman might have lost her brain somewhere, Klaus thought so.

"The thing is we want the same. Money. And my share is going to be fifty percent." She demanded.

"Fifty percent?" Klaus raised his brows. Then what would they get?

Caroline shrugged her shoulders recklessly in response. "Even if you claim ten bucks from my mother, I should get my five bucks."

"You can't be serious." Stefan muttered.

"I am." She smirked.

"Come on, love." Klaus argued. "We are investing so much effort."

"But I'm the one that's taking a lot of risk." Her brow quirked up, she threw him a look of distrust. "How can I believe you? There are innumerable possibilities for me to get hurt at your hands—"

"Says the one who knows karate." Klaus cut her off in the middle.

"Alright!" Stefan snapped, rubbing his forehead. "Agreed to your deal."

Caroline took a moment to absorb his words. Klaus glowered at Stefan, for accepting too soon. He would have bargained with her, right?

"Good." She nodded. "Try to outsmart me, and then the next chit-chat would be in prison."

Klaus let out a huff before he rose on his feet.

"That was fun, wasn't it?" Caroline giggled as soon as Stefan and Klaus got down from the iron fenced wall.

In that mild lighting, she wouldn't know if they glared or were amused like her. How could they find fun when they were tensed, perplexed? Yeah, they were so unsure with their feelings and thoughts. They planned to do something, they were doing other thing. Klaus was sure about the outcome—which was going to entirely different.

"So, where's the waiting candidate?" she asked, searching here and there on the road. "I just can't wait to see other world."

"You know, you must hide right?" Stefan muttered, concerned if she was going to walk free on the roads because their plan was to keep her inside lake-house, which was so far from the city.

Finally Kol decided to show up. He drove car next to them and stopped right beside car. "You're supposed to be unconscious, right?" he asked with a chuckle, though he was confused. "She's okay with it?" And then he looked at Klaus for some answers which earned him a loud exhausted sigh.

"Don't even get me started, brother." Glancing at her, Klaus rubbed his forehead. "We need to get back as soon as possible."

That's true. He needed a spot to lie down and think properly.

"You're senator's daughter. Why do you even need money?"

Kol and Caroline, by the time they were somewhere around the lake house, were interacting with each other as if they were estranged friends.

It made both Stefan and Klaus sick.

Stefan pretended he wasn't listening to them at all while Klaus was slightly interested in their conversation—because of her.

Caroline muttered, next to the driving Kol. "You don't even know anything about the shit I was going through, dude. My mum wants me to study hard, eat well and go to sleep. You know, she'll release the fund accordingly and that began to annoy me." She grumbled. "I'm at that point of my life where buying a drink is luxury for me."

"Did you ever go to a party before?" Kol asked, distorting his face.

"Once." She raised index finger and turned to his side completely. Her frustration was on loose. "I sneaked out and—" she paused to look away, "—it ended as a disaster. From then, these bodyguards were stuck to my arse until tonight."

"Nik and Stefan got rid of them! Yeah, that's the part of our plan." Kol snickered.

She didn't sound amused at that. "You guys stalking me since when?" Looking between the men she asked.

"A month, give or take." Klaus replied, staring up while counting the number of days.

"But everything went straight into trash." Stefan stated looking at Caroline, in a not-so-happy tone. So, he was listening to them as well? "Thanks to you."

"Oh, come on now, grandpa." She groaned before turning to front. "How much time will it take? I'm so sleepy." After yawning, she asked.

"We are here." Klaus sighed just right before Kol pulled over in front of the lake-house.

"Great." Caroline muttered sardonically. "Why it is dark? Is there no electric supply?"

"We can't risk exposure, right?" Stefan snapped before he got down.

"This guy—" she mumbled in disbelief and followed them into porch.

Kol knocked the door and they waited till Rebekah opened it after turning on the light.

Of course, she was shocked to see a conscious, smiling Caroline in front of her.

"Hi there!" the baby Forbes greeted an astonished lady Mikaelson. "What a relief to see a woman in the midst of this disorder."

"Um—" the Mikaelson sister buzzed, eyed the men questioningly. "Guys?"

"I'm not going to answer that." Stefan declared with huff before he entered the house.

"Neither am I." Klaus was too tired to narrate the shocking turn of events.

Caroline pouted at Kol before shrugging her shoulders.
