Chapter One

Caroline stared at the name on the phone. Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath she picked up the phone and hit answer. "Elijah." She said into the phone.

"Caroline, we need to talk. Can we meet somewhere?" He asked calmly.

She sighed. "I don't know, last time you tricked me, Elijah."

"I am sorry about that, Caroline. I've apologized already for my sisters shenanigans. You know how much she cares for you. She only wanted you to come back." Caroline frowned at the reminder that she hadn't only hurt Klaus when she ran off. "Besides, I have told no one that I am contacting you, or that I even have a way to contact you."

"Fine. I'm in Chicago right now, be at the old warehouse at noon tomorrow. Okay?"

"I will see you then, Caroline."

"Elijah." She stopped him before he could hang up. "What exactly do you want to talk about?"

"I'll tell you when I see you." He said hanging up, knowing if he told her what he wanted to speak with her about she would not show up.

Caroline set the phone down on the table remembering the last time she had agreed to meet Elijah, in the same place almost one hundred years ago now.

August 5,1926 Chicago

"Caroline." Came a female voice behind Elijah.

She narrowed her eyes at the figure. "Rebekah?" She asked.

"Hey, I'm sorry Care...I-I told him."

Elijah's head whipped toward Rebekah. "Rebekah, you told who?"

She looked down slightly ashamed, as Caroline looked at her alarm in her eyes. "Nik..." Rebekah said barely above a whisper.

"What?" Caroline asked incredulous. "Elijah!" She hissed. "You promised me you would not tell him where I was!"

Elijah shook his head still slightly baffled, masking it with a calm expression. "Rebekah, why would you tell him? I told you not to."

She shrugged. "I thought- maybe if they spoke...they-"

Caroline cut her off. "Rebekah me and Niklaus' problems are not as simple as that. Bekah if he see's me best case I end up locked in a cellar for a hundred years!" She said venomously.

Rebekah opened her mouth to say something, but thought better of it. "I'm sorry, I just I missed you Caroline. We used to be friends." She sighed. "I suppose you should get out of here, quickly, he's on his way."

Caroline sighed, throwing her arms around Rebekah. "I missed you too Bekah. I'm sorry everything has gotten so out of control." With a wave and an apologetic nod in Elijah's direction she darted for the door. What she would give to have Vampire speed...

She was so close to the exit when she hit something. She groaned two arms catching her before she hit the ground. Looking up at the figure standing above her, her eyes widened. "Klaus." She said softly.

He glared down at her. "Caroline, long time."

She pushed him away from him with all her force, sadly it wasn't much, he let go of her anyway though. "What do you want Klaus?" She asked firmly, eyeing the hand that reached into his pocket she backed away. "Did you come here to kill me?" She asked her eyes narrowing.

Before Klaus could reply, Elijah spoke up. "Niklaus just let her go."

His eyes turned black as he looked at Elijah. "Excuse me?" He grabbed Caroline's arm and roughly pulled her to his side. "I've been hunting her for centuries brother, there is no way I'm letting her go now."

Caroline tried to rip her arm from his grip failing miserably. "Let me go." She hissed, only to be completely ignored by Klaus who kept his tight grip on her arm.

Without warning Klaus was thrown into the opposite wall, Caroline stumbled slightly but didn't miss the chance to get as far away from there as possible.

Klaus finally got Elijah off of him but she was gone. He had lost her again. Turning around fury flashing through his eyes he looked at his siblings. His jaw was tense with anger, instead of doing something he would regret he decided to go after Caroline, even though he knew she would be long gone.

He raced through the streets looking for any trace of her, over the years she had gotten very good at covering up her tracks. At being invisible. So close. He had her. He had her in his grasp, but she slipped away, again.

Of course Caroline had the spirits on her side. If she ever needed help the nearest witch would help her no questions asked. If she didn't have their help Caroline would be a million times easier to find. Even if she had all the abilities of a vampire it would have been simple.

His problem was, when she asked him what he wanted. What would he do with Caroline once he found her. It's not like he could kill her, he learned that lesson years ago. He wished he could just dagger her, but that wouldn't work because that would only kill her.

Finally he decided to take it out on her the only way he knew how. He would take out his frustrations on the nearest human he could find.

Elijah walked into the house to see his brother sitting in front of his fireplace, a drink in his hand, and a dark look in his eyes. "Something wrong brother."

"No." Klaus didn't even look up.

Elijah sighed and shook his head, he knew exactly what was bothering his brother, the same thing that was always bothering his brother, Caroline.
