Hello readers This is my new story. I got the inspiration from Strange and Beautiful by Aqualung. The song seems to fit Klaus and Caroline head on. So this picks up at 4*19 my view on how prom should go. Others will be in the story but I am not gonna focus on side stories that much. This story is about Klaus and Caroline and where I could see their relationship going. There is gonna be a little drama in between. Please review if I get enough I will carry on with the story.

Strange and Beautiful

I've been watching your world from afar,

I've been trying to be where you are,

And I've been secretly falling apart, unseen.

To me, you're strange and you're beautiful,

You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see,

You turn every head but you don't see me.

~ Matt Hales

Caroline stares off in to the moonlight. Everything seems okay with prom so far, until Elena decides to spoil the event. Her friendship with Elena is strained at the moment. Caroline thinks back to the night she tried to end her life. All everyone has lost and she gets to cut off her emotions and not feel. " Weak" Caroline mumbles under her breath.

Bonnie and Matt emerge from the car, smiling as they greet her. Caroline smiles and turns around for Bonnie. " You found a dress after all" she says.

" Yes, thanks to Klaus" Caroline replies. Drawing a confused look from Matt. " What...we are friends now" she states. Hearing it out loud seems strange but not far from the truth. If she could forgive Damon, why couldn't she forgive Klaus. Bonnie tugs her arm lightly " let's go." Caroline and Bonnie link arms as Matt follows behind them in to the venue.

" It's beautiful...Care" Bonnie looks around as the lights shine down on the dance floor. Caroline is beaming, she is glad everyone looks to be having a good time. She glances over to Elena as her and the Salvatores are in a heated stand-off. Some things never change, she thinks as Matt offers to get her and Bonnie a drink. " I'll join you" Bonnie yells to Matt before he is too far off.

Caroline walks around taking in all of her hard work. When she turns around Elena is standing in front of her smirking.

" Nice dress, sorry about that. I just felt I looked better in it" Elena says with venom in her voice. Caroline tilts her head a little looking over the bitch that was once her friend. " Your right it does suit you better, thank you." She turns on her heels about to walk off when Elena tugs her arm slightly. " that's it...thats all you have to say?" Elena stands there with a question mark on her face. Caroline cuts her eyes at her " Oh I'm sorry. You can't see. I'm very pleased with my dress. Sorry if you were expecting more." She jerks her arm back and walks off headed towards the terrace.

Her mind wonders off, she thinks back to everything she has been through this past week. She takes her phone out of her clutch. Looking down at it hoping he would send a text, but nothing. She called Tyler the night she left the Klaus' house, leaving him a message that it was okay to come back. Caroline sighs.

" Looking for me" Tyler says as he comes around closer to her. Caroline whips her head around and smiles. She runs over giving him a big hug and kiss. " I missed you so much, I needed you" she whispers in his ear. Tyler pulls back " you look wonderful...Care" he says turning his head away from her. Caroline looks at him, her eyes bright " What is it?...Tyler" she asks.

Elena stands there looking out at Caroline and Tyler. She walks over to Klaus who has just walked in. Scanning the crowd for Caroline. He turns towards Elena. " And what do owe the pleasure...Elena" he smirks. Elena puts her hands on his shoulders causing Klaus to follow them. " Don't worry. it's not an evil plan going on to kill" she seethes in his ear. Klaus smirks turning towards her as he moves away. " Don't worry love, you're not that smart."

" Just wanting to help out. Caroline is on the terrace" she pauses giving him time to look. " With Tyler" she finishes. Just as Klaus is about to replay she is gone. He stands there looking out at them. All the things they had revealed to one another and she still loves him. He moves closer listening in on what he is telling her.

Tyler reaches for her hand and breathes heavy. " This is the hardest thing I have ever done." Tears reaching his eyes " I'm not coming back Care" he says. Caroline looks at him with shock as she turns her head inside. " Well...I graduate soon. I will come with you. We can finally be together..." Tyler cuts her off. " No...no" he whips a tear that has fallen on her cheek.

" I have lived with a pack and they want me to be their alpha. It is secluded in the mountains." A smile coming across his face thinking about his new home. " Not the life you wanted Care... Do you remember when you told me what Klaus said to you." He pauses. Caroline looks at him in disbelief. He is about to agree with Klaus really?

" He says a lot of things to me Tyler. Just say it" she snips back.

" It wont be enough for you, you do deserve better" he whispers looking down at her hand in his. Caroline scoffs " No...you don't get to say that, and it be okay." She moves over towards the bench and takes a seat. Turning her head so he can't see the tears streaming her face.

" Care... You give all of yourself for everyone, everything. It's time you get something. I'm not telling you to have you run off in the sunset with Klaus." Tyler sits in front of her, placing his hand under her chin. " You want to see the world, that's all you talk about. I want you to see it." He is still met with resistance from Caroline.

Tyler jumps up and raises his voice a little " you are so damn stubborn...Care. Do something for yourself." He turns his head as the music sweeps over the terrace. Reaching his hand out to her " One last dance?" Caroline looks up at him and smiles a little taking his hand. He spins her around and pulls her close.

" Tyler it's not that I don't understand what you are saying it's just. Everyone leaves me" she says softly. Tyler smiles down at her " I'm not leaving you, do you realize the people that we once were Caroline." He turns her as they still sway to the music. " Me the jerk, you the shallow girl. We are not those people, not anymore." Caroline sighs a little as they stop and stare at each other. " You changed me for the better but sometimes you have to move on." he kisses her forehead. " No ones gonna hate you if you want to live...Care" he finishes.

" You changed me too" Caroline says looking at him. It all hits her hard now. What he was trying to tell her. They have out grown each other, making each other better...stronger. It's her time to move on as is his. " I will always love you Tyler" she smirks. He leans in to her, staring at her lips. " A goodbye kiss." he whispers. As his lips fall upon hers. " I will always love you too" he says in her ear.

Klaus closes his eyes to what he sees. Just as he is about to walk off Elijah stops him. " It hurts to see something you love in so much pain" he says to his brother. Klaus walks closer to him. " If you think that this is gonna change how I feel about Katerina your wrong." Klaus smirks while walking away from Elijah. " No...but I know Caroline has changed you." he says towards Klaus' back. Klaus does not turn around but continues to walk off.

They start to announce the prom king and queen as Caroline walks back in. Bonnie can tell she has cried. She looks at her " you okay." Caroline nods at her " I'll be fine."

" And now the time that everyone has waited for. Prom queen and king. Drumroll please..." Everyone is on the edge of their seats. Stefan walks up behind Elena. She turns and smiles at him. " I am not gonna eat the prom queen...Stefan" she says. Damon joining them as they look on.

" Caroline Forbes is this year's prom queen and Tyler Lockwood is this year's prom king." Caroline smiles for the crowd as Bonnie nudges her to walk up to the platform. Giving her fake smile to her classmates as she passes by. Rebekah huffs over at the table, as Caroline passes.

She walks up to the stage as they place the crown on her head. The announcer leans in asking where is the king. Caroline smiles " not here." As she turns to face the crowd, Matt is walking up, smiling. " I'll stand with you" he says whispering congratulations in her ear. Caroline feels happy but sad. There was a time when this would have been the highlight of her life, like being Miss Mystic Falls. She is not the same girl she was then.

The announcer motions for her to give a speech. Damon turns and looks at Elena who has a sicken grin on her face. Damon slowly turns back towards the stage searching for something. He does not see anything to cause an alarm, but he has a feeling that is gonna change.

Caroline walks up and smiles " Hey, As you all know this has been a wild year. I hope everyone the best in life and love. We have all grown so much...I..." Just as Caroline is about to finish she feels a huge splat come down upon her. Feeling the liquid come down over her face and dress. She looks towards the crowd, who is in horror as the scene plays out. Bonnie looks towards Elena and sends a headache her way. Bringing Elena down to her knees. Stefan and Damon grabbing her and leading her away.

Rebekah is stunned, but giggles a little. " Well I'm glad I made this one" she smirks as she walks off.

So here is Caroline standing on stage drenched in blood. After what seems like an eternity she feels herself being pulled away. Matt grabs her leading her in the back. The crowd erupts in conversation over what has just happened.

Outside Elena is laughing hard as they pull her away. Finally letting her go " What...you told me not to eat the prom queen. I didn't" she shrugs still giggling.

" You really are enjoying this, aren't you" Stefan asks. Looking at the girl he once loved.

Caroline looks at herself in the mirror as Matt hands her a towel. " Where is that bitch..." she yells. Matt following her as she storms out into the parking lot. Finding the person she wants to kill.

Elena turns around and is met with a punch to the face. " You bitch" Caroline is hissing at her. As she throws another punch. Elena is shaken at first, but after that she jumps back up on her feet. " Someone ready for round two" she smirks.

Both of them yell in pain as they grab their heads. Looking towards Bonnie who joins the group. After Bonnie release both vampires, Caroline shoots Elena a look.

Caroline walks up to her, both girls having a staring match. " Are you going to get all judgmental on me Care, and then run off and cry." Elena giving a sad look and then smirking.

Caroline feels all her anger over the pass few weeks boil to the surface. She pushes Elena hard in the chest. Sending the vampire back a couple of feet, by the time Elena stands up Caroline is right in front of her. Caroline throwing her hands up letting Bonnie know she's done with her assault .

" You know Elena" she begins while getting closer to her. " I thought I was the weak one, but really its you." Caroline smirks " sure you have lost your family, but look around Elena. So have all of us" Caroline yells. " Bonnie lost her grandma, and her moms a vampire now. Matt lost his sister..." she scoffs. " I lost my dad who tortured me for days and you attacked my mom."

" I have no family left Caroline" Elena yells back. Caroline moves closer towards her, backing Elena up against a care. " You know what pisses me off about you. Not realizing that we all have because of you...Elena" Caroline tilts her head looking at her. " Don't you see that, Elena because of you. Instead of being a friend and dealing with it, like all of us had too. You turn off your humanity, the easy way out." Caroline turns to walk away. Elena pulling her back.

" What are you gonna do, run off to your hybrid king" Elena snaps. Caroline looks at her " you're pathetic. Grow up, we all have" She says walking off pass everyone.

As she approaches her house, she sees a shadow. By the time she blinks Klaus is in her face. He grabs her shoulders, checking her over for injuries. Caroline pushes back away from him. " I'm fine...Klaus" she says.

" Who did this to you?..." he follows her inside. " Caroline...Caroline" he demands. Her back still facing him as she continues to walk. " Caroline" he yells stopping her in her tracks. She turns around and he sees the tears on her face. " Please" he says softer now.

" Elena, she thought it would be fun to recreate Carrie" her fist ball up at reliving the event. " Carrie...?" Klaus trails off wondering. Caroline cuts him a slight smile " It's a horror movie about a girl who gets pigs blood dumped on her at prom." She smirks " but she gets her revenge in the end" she looks at his blue eyes. That's one of the things he loves about her, even at her lowest moment. She can still smile. Gazing upon her, she hates the way he stares sometimes. Like he wants something a yearning desire.

" Go get clean love...I'll wait" he says. Caroline is about to protest but knows he is not going anywhere. She heads towards the shower.

An hour later she emerges from her room. The house seems empty as she rounds the corner. " Klaus...where are you?" she calls. Finally finding him out on her porch, putting his phone in his pocket. He smiles at her " feel a little better, sweetheart." Caroline smiles at him back " ya...thanks." He walks up to her " well don't thank me yet. The night has just started." he says while grabbing her hand. Caroline hesitates a little, pulling back. " Klaus"

He turns around " We're friends right..." she nods at him. " Well take a chance Caroline..let's get to know each other" Klaus laughs a little pulling her closer. He hands resting on her waist, as she folds into him. Caroline looks up at him, nodding her head in agreement. Laughing as he whisk her away.
