Author's Note at the end :)

Happy Reading :)

Next Day...

She woke with a gasp and wide eyed. She shuffled to sit up and look around her and she hissed at the brightness of everything around her, she used her hand to shield herself of the brightness. She panicked.

Where is she?

Why is she on a bed?

Why is everything so bright?

Suddenly, her brain collected information of last night's events and she took a deep breath.

When she realised she was not calming down, she took a couple more until eventually she relaxed.

She woke up.

She's in the room her mother gifted to her.

She was a vampire now.

When her eyes got adjusted to the brightness, her eyes took in everything.

Everything around her looked beautiful against the glow of the sun; it was as though she can see everything so much clearer. She felt like she was dreaming and in her dream haze, everything around her had this blurred effect.

"Beautiful things are more beautiful"

She looks at her hands, her skin is creamy and fair; her palms are white. Her fingers still feel the same. She used her left hand to touch her face. Her skin felt sticky. Her hand slid down her cheek to her neck and she felt the metal chain around her neck.

Her mother's necklace!

She snatched it off her neck and flung it against the wall, shocked when it broke in half and the metal link chains were in pieces on the floor. She was stronger now. She would have to get Lucy to fix it when she gained control of herself.

She was still in her dress. She had to be dead to be able to sleep in such contraption.

Her door suddenly barged open and she jumped. She wiggled herself back against the bed rest in fear. Her body shook as a gust of wind brushed through the door and entered the room. She didn't have her daggers with her to defend herself.

Damon poked his head from the door "May I come in?"

She let out a relieved breath she wasn't even aware she had held and sunk in the bed "You scared me"

He entered and Stefan was right on his heel.

"When you complete the transition you'll be able to control those emotions" Damon explained.

Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"What do you mean when I complete the transition?"

Stefan just smirked "So you don't know everything" he made movements to come towards the bed and took a seat near her "When a human dies with vampire blood in their body and they reawaken, they're in transition. It means technically, you're still human. You will have some vampire traits while keeping some human traits"

Damon stayed near the door.

She took a second to process the new information.

"So what must I do to complete the 'transition'?" she asked, looking up at him.

Stefan looked at Damon and Damon looked at Stefan and Caroline did not like the way they were avoiding the question.

"Well, tell me!" she snapped.

Their heads snapped at her at her tone.

She immediately shrunk back in her seat apologetically "Sorry" she had no idea where that came from.

Damon chose to speak "You have to feed..." he paused, then continued "...on human blood"

No

She immediately shook her head. She was not killing any innocent human being.

"Caroline, I wish we could use animal blood but it does not work. If you don't complete the transition by tonight you will die for good; and the ring won't be able to save you" Stefan urged her.

She frowned; she didn't want to kill anyone. If she knew that she had to kill someone she would have never even considered—

"I don't want to kill anyone" she whispered, her voice broke. Her eyes began to water as overwhelming sadness was beginning to take over her. Her arms began to shake.

Stefan gripped her arms and shook her. She immediately looked at him.

"Hey, focus. Don't let it consume you, fight it Caroline"

Fight it! I will not be sad, I will not be sad, I will not cry, I am perfectly fine.

She kept repeating the words in her mind over and over and over and eventually the sadness began to slowly creep away.

"Thank you"

He smiled "You won't be killing anyone"

Damon then stuck his hand out through the door and pulled a girl inside the room.

Caroline could suddenly hear a heartbeat. She thought it was hers at first. The way it was beating in a steadily panicked rhythm, but when she put her hand against her chest, she felt nothing, yet she can still hear the beating. She looked past Stefan to see the girl.

Caroline's eyes immediately darted to her neck, where a large vein was beating against her skin, stretching the skin slightly. She listened to the rhythm of her heartbeat and how it beat in melody with her pulse. She could feel something starting to stir within her. It was like she hadn't eaten all day.

She wanted to get closer to the pulse to have a closer look.

"Caroline, she's been compelled to feel no pain and to let you feed from her" Stefan explained to her and Caroline's eyes darted to Stefan as she shot him a dark look "Before you start, she wanted—no preferred to be compelled, that way, she wouldn't stop herself out of fear"

The girl in question nodded "They even compelled me to remember the compulsion because they said it would make you feel better. I am being paid handsomely for my services so it's okay Miss Caroline"

Stefan stood and held out his hand for her to join him. She was hesitant at first, because she knew how it felt to be fed off. While it might not be as...erotic she had found it to be, she could find some peace with the fact that it won't be painful for her. Caroline had pretended to be compelled to feel no pain and she felt the pain all too strongly. Considering she was actually compelled, it meant that to some extent it won't hurt her.

She dragged herself out of the bed and took Stefan's hand to pull her to stand. She would get out of this gown as soon as she could.

Stefan guided her towards the girl and she met her halfway. She pulled her hair to the side and craned her neck for better access she supposes.

Damon made his way around the girl to go to the window. He closed it and locked it "When you complete the transition, the sun will kill you until we can get Lucy to fashion you a daylight ring" Damon held his hand up to show her the ring she had never truly noticed on his hand until now.

Damon approached the girl from behind and held the girl by her waist "Caroline we will not let you kill her. You forget, each of us are older than you, and can restrain you on our own...so imagine the strength we possess together.

While Caroline was a bit scared for herself, she was more curious. The vein on her neck had been calling her since she entered the room. Her mouth hurt and so did her eyes as she found herself a breath away from her neck.

Damon used a knife and nipped her on her neck, causing blood to flow from a tiny hole. Caroline watched as if the blood was moving slower than time itself, as it ran down her skin and soaked the trim of her dress in a beautiful red shade in contrast to the light blue fabric of her dress.

She remembers the taste of Damon's blood and she wanted to cringe at how addictive it was to vampires. How could they even stand the taste as though it was the most magical thing they've ever tasted?

She hesitantly bends her head down to the girl's neck. A part of her wanted to run away, she could smell the metallic scent of the liquid, yet she was so deeply curious by it that she darted her tongue out and licked a drop for taste.

Her entire being sparked at the taste of it. She could still taste the liquid the same as it did last night, but now, there was something different about it, more pleasant...much more pleasant. She wanted more.

She bent down and placed her mouth on the wound and began to suck. She inhaled deeply through her nose as the blood filled her mouth and mixed through all her taste buds. It felt like her body had come alive—despite the fact that she was now officially dead.

She kept pulling more liquid and she felt her hunger roar at the taste and wanting nothing more than to drink all of it. She wanted all the blood, she was absolutely starving and she needed it all.

Someone was touching her, she heard some muffled words, but she was too engrossed in the liquid to hear or care to hear. She just wanted it all, she wanted every drop.

Suddenly, she found herself launched back on her bed. She was about to get up to return to the blood when someone held her hands above her and used their body to weigh her down.

She wanted to fight him, but suddenly she felt her mouth began to hurt. Her jaw was aching in the worst way. She opened her mouth to ease the pain but it got even worst, as if something was pushing itself out. Her eyes tingled and around her eyes prickled.

"Snap out of it Caroline!"

She blinked. Stefan?

She could feel her new teeth inside her mouth. She turned her head to the side to glance at the mirror to see if she could see her reflection. She could.

She was now a vampire. Her eyes were bloodshot red, there were tiny purple veins around her eyes and she had fangs. She looked like a monster, blood smeared around her mouth.

"Caroline!"

Her head snapped back to the person holding her down.

"Take a deep breath and calm down"

She did as instructed. Then she did it again. It took a couple of times, but then she slowly began to feel her face prickle and her fangs retreat back and she felt her face come back to normal.

She glanced back at the mirror and she was glad everything was gone...but the blood.

She hissed as something was burning her arm. Stefan looked and noticed her arm was sizzling as if she was being burned. He didn't see any sunlight so he ripped her sleeve and saw a string tied on her bicep. He ripped it off quickly. It burned his fingers but he was fine. She sighed in relief when the burn was gone.

She gasped.

The girl!

"Where is she? Is she okay? Did I—"

"She's alive" Damon assured her "I fed her my blood and sent her off, she's perfectly fine, as if nothing happened"

Caroline let out a breath, relieved by his words, but she remembered the blood that was on her face and in a panicked frenzy, snatched her hands from Stefan's grip to use her sleeve to wipe it off. She looked in the mirror and made sure all of it was wiped from her face and she relaxed a bit with a heavy sigh.

But she had come close to killing the poor girl.

"This is harder than I thought" she huffed.

It had been a couple of days since her first transition.

Bonnie had made her a daylight ring, along with sending her a note detailing her anger towards Caroline for not telling her of her plans, turning herself into a vampire and was disappointed in her for changing for Klaus. She would have responded to her letter but Caroline felt it would be better to respond to her in person.

Caroline spent the day trying to move around humans without acting on the urge to rip everyone's throat open. She had to learn to control her thirst. Stefan told her that he uses food to curb the desire to kill. Damon told her he uses rum.

Rum never tasted good in her mouth, she doubts it would now.

Her mother wanted to see her but she refused. She told Stefan to tell her that she will see her when she has control over herself. She didn't want to hurt her mother. She doesn't trust herself after what happened with the girl.

They suggested to her that she practiced another day but she was determined. She would have Stefan stay with her and whenever she lost control, she would go back upstairs and take a breath before trying again. It was nightfall when she finally found a way to control herself among everyone, by focusing on other emotions like happiness or excitement, she would forget her hunger. Thankfully, she won't have to stuff her face with food or drink rum for the rest of her life...she can do what she's been doing her whole life, being happy.

The day after that was spent practicing her new gifts. It took her a while to get accustom with how fast she can move and how everything slowed down around her, as if time was either frozen or moving very slowly. They said running was easy, stopping his more difficult than you'd think. They were right. When she would try to stop, she would slide and fall. It took her till evening to get it. They spent the night practicing her hearing. It was horrible, hearing all those noises around her all at once. They told her when she heard the girl's heartbeat; she had done that without even thinking about it. Caroline blamed hunger. It was late when Caroline was finally able to focus on one noise. She realised if she listened to each noise one by one, she could sort through what she wanted to hear and what she can choose to not listen to.

The day after that they practiced on her strength. It was a simple exercise, she had to hug them. It wasn't as simple as it sounded when she hugged Stefan and broke a rib. She's accustomed to squeezing someone when she hugs them. It didn't take her long to learn to use her human strength and she was able to practice on another girl. She successfully hugged her without breaking her. She also practiced how she can move. That was the most fun. They ran through the forest, jumping over large rocks, swinging from trees. Things she found she may never be able to do she could do with the ease as if she had been doing so since childhood.

Stefan taught her how to hunt. He explained that human blood is stronger than animal blood and because of that; I would be weaker than normal. She didn't care; she was strong enough to defend herself now. It was better than hurting others.

Just when she thought she had learned everything there was to learn about being a vampire, they told her she needed control over her emotions.

She didn't agree with them until Damon teased her about how weak she would be from feeding from animals. She threw him at a wall. Thankfully the wall didn't collapse. They said that once she can transfer her method of control to her emotions as well, with time she would be able to control them.

She saw her mother for the first time since she turned. She told her how scared she had been when she found that when trying to wake Caroline when they arrived, she wasn't waking. It took her by surprise, but she knew why it happened. She told her mother of her days composing herself and they spent the day together. She gave her mother back the ring, as it would obviously no longer work on her, and it would be better useful on her human mother, despite it belonging to her father. It was then her mother had confessed to her that it indeed did not belong to her father; she had Lucy make it for her years ago. The Duchess had explained that in order for her to tell his Majesty that it was her father's ring and not a protection from death; she had to make her believe it was of sentimental value and nothing more. If she believed it, he won't suspect her of lying. She understood why she lied but with her heightened emotions, her anger of being lied to flared up.

Damon and Stefan came in and successfully calmed her down.

But the nights were the worst, because those emotions Damon told her about would haunt her at night.

It had been four days since she saw the Prince. She thought about going there a couple of times but she wanted to leave them be, leave him be. Perhaps he was beginning to grow feelings for April. She hoped he was being nice and kind to her. She understood she was a special case of some sort and he's usually quite cruel to people.

The day before was his wedding; she cried herself to sleep that night.

She thought about him every day. His smile, that smile he smiles when he's just genuinely smiling. His smirk, especially when he's quite satisfied with himself. The softness in his tone when he calls her by her name...

"Klaus" she says in her empty room.

She said his name when she wished him a happy birthday. He was not vex with her, in fact, he smiled at her so wide she wanted to lock it away for her personal viewing only. She wished to say it again.

But she won't have the chance to. His coronation is tomorrow. Tomorrow he will be King of the Mikealson kingdom and April will be Queen. She was happy for April, yet envied her. She had something she wanted—something she yearned for.

When her emotions would get the better of her, she would refocus her thoughts on something more cheerful and she would regain herself.

But there were times she would just let herself cry.

Today was the coronation.

He just wanted the day over with.

Thankfully, he was so busy having everything transferred to him that he barely spared the Young girl any mind, and she seemed quite okay with it.

Even when there were days he was less busy, he would spend it with Kol, still not friendly with Katherine to be around both of them and be reminded—yet again—of the fact that Caroline was gone.

They say you don't know what you're missing until it's gone.

He missed opening his door and her scent surrounding the room. Leaving it in a mess and returning to a clean room. Her beaming smile when she chatted with Katherine, her flustered demeanour when she was around him, her blush when he complimented her, her quick tongue when she disagrees or grew upset with him.

There were times he found himself heading towards her room only to realise she was no longer here.

His 'wedding' was torment. Vowing to love and such, to a woman he barely knew and did not care to know was ludicrous. He will find another way to torment Kol when he ascends to the throne, but he will not go through this again. He couldn't very well walk away from it because it would undermine his authority and he would have a revolt on his hands. Then he'd have to burn the kingdom down and his parents would hunt them down.

He didn't pay much attention to the Young girl, just looking around, biding his time till the retched event was over and he could retreat to his art.

Now he had to suffer through another event, and Rebekah loved every minute of the torturous thing.

He briefly regretted killing all her lovers if it made her so bitter...

As they crowned him and they all bowed, referring to him as King Klaus, he felt a sense of gratification. This has been his title all along, king. He was an alpha, the oldest being on the planet and his sire line is easily the greatest of his siblings. He is meant to be king, to rule.

When he returned home, he retreated to his painting. He allowed himself one more painting of Caroline before he locked her away for good, the night of his birthday, as she stood near Rebekah. He could have finished it by now, but he's choosing to take his time with it.

Whether it is to perfect it or prolong the moment he had to put it away for good...he won't say.

Rebekah was here.

Caroline could hide, but ultimately, she had told herself that she would tell her the truth.

So Caroline went to the foyer to greet her.

She looked surprised to see her there.

Caroline curtsied "Your majesty, or should I say your highness now"

Caroline rose and Rebekah smiled

"What brings you here?" Rebekah asked.

"I live here"

Rebekah's brows furrowed in confusion "Why would you live here? Did Nik make you stay here so he could visit you? He could just make up a position for you to fill at the castle, rather than force you to live with the likes of the Duchess"

The way she spat the title out with such venom made Caroline cringe.

"I must apologize. I was never made aware of your relationship with her—or lack thereof—until much later in my stay at the palace. I did not even know where she had disappeared to. All I knew was she would send me money. Your brother brought me here and I found her here in better condition than I thought. I've wanted to tell you but everyone said it best be kept away from you. I did not wish to lie to you. I could say I was commanded not to but I wasn't and in a sense I chose to lie to you, and even at the night of the ball I wanted to tell you but—" Rebekah cut her off.

"Tell me what?"

"The Duchess is my mother"

Rebekah stepped back from her as she processed the news.

"I did not know of your acquaintance with her, and I knew less of the reason why you disliked her, everyone just said you did. The night of the ball I asked her and she told me" Caroline tried.

Rebekah stepped around her to continue on in the mansion and Caroline vamp sped back in front of her without meaning to.

Rebekah stepped back in surprise.

"You're a vampire" she stepped closer to her and glared at her "Have you always been one and hid this from us as well?"

Caroline immediately shook her head "No your highness, I turned the night of the ball."

Rebekah leaned back.

"Well, I'm sure Nik will just love to get his hands on the vampire that turned and killed you" she spat.

"I chose this"

Rebekah stepped back in shock.

"Why would you choose such a life?" Rebekah shrieked without meaning to "There are people out here, cursed to live for eternity and you give up your precious life for something as permanent as immortality? How stupid are you?"

Caroline frowned "I was told this by many, but I wished to be free and strong. I felt that by changing into a vampire I would gain it"

"Hmm" Rebekah hummed.

Her mother chose that moment to enter the foyer and interrupt their conversation. She curtsied.

"Your highness"

"I just came to gloat. I can finally be with Damon now that I've waited out your plan to keep him from me"

"The spell was broken shortly after it was made" Caroline blurted out.

Both Rebekah and her mother's eyes landed on her, Liz, because she did not wish Rebekah to know and Rebekah in shock.

"What?" Rebekah breathed.

"After she saw how devastated Damon was by it she pleaded with Esther to break it. I think in her own way she was thinking about you. Being married to a monarch and living the life of a Duchess has changed her perception quite a bit I think" Caroline continued on.

"But you hated me so much, you dared not wish to speak to me and Mikael threatened to kill Stefan if he tried to reach out to you before you gave up the throne" Liz further explained "Damon hasn't been the same since. Days when he had to be at the palace were the worst. Perhaps now you can finally put that smile back on his face"

Rebekah was stunned for a while, most likely processing the information. Then in a blink she was gone.

She couldn't hold herself back any longer, she had to see him.

Which is why she hid in the trees far enough to not be spotted but, close enough so she can see and hear anything she could.

She knew April was in the room, she was on the bed, her breathing was slowly but steady, and she was asleep. He stood near the window looking down at something. He's possibly gazing at April lovingly as he had done her.

How could she think she was special?

She felt her eyes well with unshed tears.

Why did he make her feel special?

She didn't even realised she had looked down, but when she looked back up, she gasped.

He was staring right at her.

Panic flooded her body, she ran.

She ran for as long as she could through the forest. She made sure not to trip over any rocks or branches as she had done countless times in the days before.

She didn't get far though and in hindsight, she should have known she wouldn't. He's in fact five hundred years old. He didn't hold her or anything, he just said stop, and she just felt compelled to stop.

That reminded her; she had to start drinking vervain as per Stefan's suggestion, to keep the Originals from being able to compel her.

She didn't turn around and she knew not how far he stood. Her chest was heaving and her body was wrecked with nerves.

"Show your-self" his voice sounded strong, yet broken in a sense.

She stayed still.

"Show your-self" he urged, this time with more desperation in his voice.

Hesitantly, Caroline turned around and she saw how visibly she caught him by surprise.

Caroline dropped into a curtsy "Your Majesty"

Slowly, he approached her. When he had felt a presence watching him, he thought nothing much of it. He would kill them and whatever reason they were watching him for would die with them, but when he saw who he thought he saw and she ran; he had to go after her.

He was directly in front of her.

"Rise" he commanded.

She stood up slowly, but kept her head down.

He hated when she did that.

"You never look at me" he grumbled.

Her eyes flicked up at him and his surprise turned into a smirk "You're a vampire"

"Yes" she responded.

He frowned "Who killed you?"

"I did"

His frowned deepened "You killed yourself...?"

Realisation struck him like lightening. She planned it. She behaved as though she may never see him again and he was confused by it but now he knew. She rid herself of her human chain to be free.

His frown turned into a smirk "I knew it; small town life was never destined for you"

She smiled.

"You look divine, vampirism becomes you"

She blushed. He didn't even need to see her blush to know it was there.

"I expected you with your mother for my wedding and coronation"

She frowned "You thought I would go to your wedding?"

He frowned "You won't support your highness?"

"I could never" she whispered.

He took a step forward "I'm sure you could've"

She frowned. She should have ended this between them. He doesn't even have a clue of her feelings and expected her to attend his wedding. How could she attend his wedding, watch him walk down the aisle with another woman and be happy for him?

"I couldn't attend your wedding Klaus; you were getting married to another woman. Did you think I could watch it and be happy? Even if you don't care for her, she still has the one thing I won't ever have...you"

He stepped forward "You have me; you have what many will die for"

Her tears fell and she shook her head.

"I'm in love with you"

He blanched "Caroline..." his voice broke.

"I'm in love with you and you couldn't even see it. You think I could see her stand next to you? I know the marriage is simply for politics, but I won't have all of you, only part of you. I have longed to say this to you and I felt stupid for even caring for a man who considers love to be a weakness. I came because I had to see you, I just had to. I can't do this to myself, to want a man who won't ever want me back. I don't regret our time together but I can't be the other woman in your life, I think—no I know—I deserve to be the only woman in a man's life"

She turned to leave, but he was in front of her. She was about to push him aside when his lips crashed against hers.

She should have fought his advance, she could have, but she missed him so.

His lips were gentle yet forceful; his hands gripped her hips as though he would not allow her freedom from his grasp. Their lips moulded together perfectly and she felt so adored by his kiss. Like words escaped him.

When he broke the kiss, he rested his forehead against her "What you said" he gasped "You can never take it back Caroline, I won't ever let you take it back"

She shook her head "I meant what I said, but you still made a vow to April that you cannot break"

She pulled away from him and he snarled. He turned and passed a hand on his face in frustration before turning back at Caroline "Then what will you have me do? What Caroline? What is it you want from me?"

A fresh tear fell "I want your love"

He stiffened. He wanted to laugh. The very thing that was keeping her from leaving was the one thing he can't find within himself to admit even to his own thoughts. How cruel can she be?

"You can't give that to me" she choked, but then she cleared her throat and wiped her tears "I understand. You spent your existence not loving anyone and it works for you. If you don't love anything, they can't be taken from you, or lost...they can't hate you"

She walked passed him but stopped at the sound of his voice.

He knew that this was the moment when he would give her up and be rid of her forever. He won't succumb to such a weakness as his brother had and she was right, he would have nothing to lose and nothing to be taken from him...she won't hate him. She might be hurt for a couple of years but time heals wounds.

But could he live that long without her? He missed her presence and she was gone for a mere 5 days at best, what would befall him if she were gone for the better part of a century?

"A man is not a man if he cannot acknowledge his own fears" he remembered this from the first time he met her.

He wanted to let her go, he planned on doing it too...but his own voice betrayed him. He couldn't even rely on his own voice to be loyal to him anymore.

"I let you go didn't I?" he whispered, grabbing her hand and turning around, a determined look on his face "I can't kill you, I can't protect you from being taken from me or lost to me or having you hate me as you so eloquently put it, by killing you. I've seen what killing you does, and I do not wish to relive that little incident, so I let you go" his voice betrayed him, coming out broken and soft and cracked. He took a step forward "I could have stopped you. I could have professed an undying love for you and you would stay, but I let you go because I gave that to you" he made sure to emphasize—hiss more like it—'that' so she knew what he meant by it.

He pulled her against him and she smacked against his chest. He kept one hand on the small of her back and the lifted her chin to look into his eyes "Do you understand? I let you go, because I gave that to you"

The heart that no longer beats; was jumping wildly with excitement and happiness...happiness was bursting at the seams with her, because she knew what he was trying to tell her without saying the words.

"I let you go because I gave that to you"

Epilogue

The morning after, Klaus slept with Caroline at her mother's place. They of course enjoyed each other's bodies before succumbing to sleep.

They were having idle chatting, when a knock came to the door.

"Caroline, I'm sliding something under your door. April Young-Mikealson sent it "

Along with Damon's voice, the sound of a piece of paper sliding under the door was heard before the sound of footsteps faded. Caroline used her vampire speed to grab the paper and retreat back to the covers.

She un-wrapped it and found it was a marriage certificate. She frowned and dropped it on her lap.

"I never knew April to be so bitter to remind you—us- of your obligations to her"

While Caroline hadn't read the parchment fully, Klaus did and noticed what the Young girl wished for them to see. He took the paper from her lap and rolled it out so they can both see it.

"Caroline, read"

She looked up at him in annoyance—why would he want her to read his wedding agreement with another woman—before looking back at the piece of paper in his hand.

"It is hereby decreed that the King of the Mikealson kingdom, Niklaus Mikealson, has married the Princess and now Queen, Caroline Forbes in holy matrimony"

She gasped and looked back up at him "What?" she watched the paper to make sure what she read was in fact, real "She wrote my name instead of hers?"

He cuddled against her and leaned into her ear "April and I aren't married, we are"

Caroline couldn't believe the moans that came out her mouth. Even in her dreams she could not get enough of him, his hands, his lips, his touch, was everywhere on her body. Her back is facing his chest, his lips are at that wonderful spot in the crook of her neck, one of his hands are massaging her breast, pulling sounds from her throat that even she has never heard before, his other hand is massaging her sensitive spot between her legs. Then his finger slips in her entrance and her eyes shot open as a cry slipped from her lips.

Little did she know that the very dream she was having was not even a dream, her body against his, his hands massage and pumping into her, his beautiful lips sucking at her neck.

"You're awake" he whispers huskily.

He adds another finger into her opening and she cannot contain her moans. She could feel her own walls tighten around his fingers as he pulls out to thrust back in. Her body starts to move to meet his thrusts as she spreads her legs out a little more for him to gain better access.

"That's it sweetheart" he whispers.

She couldn't even respond to him as her panting and moans and whimpers are becoming louder. She cannot control them as he pumps faster and faster into her, massaging her stomach, her sides, her legs, everywhere his hands lay her ignites her more.

She reaches under the sheets and gently touched his hand and slowed his movements, guiding him slowly.

Not long after she feels the familiar build of wave explode inside her, setting her skin on fire in a toe curling sensation and a tremble of her body and she relaxes in his arms, she's breathing heavily and erratically as he slips his fingers out slowly.

"Good morning love" he whispers against her shoulders.

"Ugh, I hope I didn't wake anyone" she grumbles heavenly

He chuckles lowly against her skin "Considering the first time my siblings heard you, I'd think twice is a charm no?"

Her eyes opened widely and she turned to look at him "They heard me?"

He grinned and moved to climb on top of her "Caroline, you literally woke the dead"

5 Years Later

Caroline lies in Klaus's arms in their bedroom as she recalls everything that happened in the past five years they have been together.

Caroline, Klaus and April had to address the kingdom and explain to them what happened; they were actually more excited that he married someone from the kingdom rather than someone from another kingdom, a foreigner.

Katherine and Elijah got married, much to her surprise. She had no idea what compelled her to assume that Elijah was not the type to marry. She was honestly more shocked Katherine accepted.

The wedding was perfect, Caroline could not be happier, she was with her sisters and she was happy.

Few Months later, Liz hosted the ball in April's honor and was shocked at the turn out.

Many guys wanted to make her theirs and Caroline was not surprised at all, April was a beautiful girl. Caroline had noticed April locking eyes with one guy in particular, the same guy she had an eye on since she met eyes with him some years ago. She must have fallen in love with Jeremy during the time but Caroline could not think of a better couple.

After April's parents heard the man she wished to marry they disowned her. Liz of course took her in as her daughter, Liz thought that if Caroline was queen, there was no one to be the duchess and April would do a fine job. Caroline agreed with her mother. April now lives with her mother at the mansion with Jeremy, Elena and Stefan.

Caroline and Damon moved into the palace with Rebekah and Klaus. Bonnie visited, they had mended their friendship and she was building something new with the youngest Mikealson Prince.

Klaus had eventually reminded her after they addressed the kingdom of Matthew and Mason being alive in the dungeons, well, just Matthew. Apparently, he had told her mother about Mason and she killed him. Klaus then told her that he was the wolf that killed her father. She felt her mother had right to end his life.

A couple of years later she had the courage to end Matthew's life. A part of her had felt like him turning into a vampire and turning into what he was, was her fault. Had she not killed him, had she ended their relationship when she saw the signs? Then she realized that he turned into the being he became on his own. He made the choices that led to his fate.

Caroline knew their little kingdom won't last. Eventually they would have to move on, but she wanted more time with her friends and family, especially her mother. Klaus offered to stay till she passed, she had yet to agree to it, truthfully because she did not wish her mother to pass but she understood that death is a part of life, especially for humans.

Caroline didn't think they'd last this long honestly, but the more she learned about him the more in love she fell for him. He hadn't actually said I love you to her yet and she was in no rush.

They had forever.

That's it!

Now many of you might probably be upset with me that Klaus didn't exactly say the exact words. But I think that canon Klaus from this time period wouldn't...not yet. It might take him centuries and it might slip most likely until he got comfortable with it. He got as close to telling her he loved her as he was comfortable with for now.

Lemme just address what I'm working on.

The Originals Series: I'm currently writing the first season out which is 13 chapters long and I'm currently on chapter 5. I'd post but then if I get writer's block you might have to wait through that and that's what I'm trying to avoid. Besides, If I finish writing it, while publishing I can work on the second season, and when the second season is publishing I can work on the third and so on. I plan on having like maybe 6 seasons.

I'm also working on a Kalijah short story to publish while im still writing so for the kalijah fans out there...I'M COMING FOR YOU!

Revenge: It's slowly coming along, I'm in Chapter 2 because most of my time is being taken up with kalijah short story and the originals.

Senior Year: This is something I will re-write and continue this story because it's a monster (which wasn't my original intention)

HEA (Humanitate Eius Apicem): I know I made a post on tumblr saying I wont finish this but I think I will. I found some chapter layouts and I think I'll wrap up the story from there but I not going to re-write but i'll have to re-read, actually you know what I will re-write this. I considered moving this story to my main account (this account) but I'll do the sequel here instead.

Now when I say re-write, I actually mean I'm keeping everything that happened, I'll just be changing up some stuff I think, fixing errors etc etc

Now KlarolineAUWeek is coming up and I plan to particpate so be on the lookout for those. I'm especially excited for Trope + Trope and Mates day (wink wink)

See you when I see you!
