  Vampires, Hybrids and Wolves oh my!

To say that Klaus was unhappy with the situation was an understatement, he had been tricked and manipulated by a she-devil. Now he was here, in a place that seemed to only come from nightmares, there was screaming and crying, people running in utter chaos this was no place for a him, no place for any sane man much less a thousand year old hybrid. The woman in question stood before him grabbing his hand in an attempt to drag in even closer to the entrance. “love, are you sure you want this?” he asked for the tenth time since getting into the car that morning. “Klaus I am positive, come on you’ll see. The zoo is fun” Caroline laughed at his unwillingness to go with her.  They had been dating for a year now and he had done most of what he promised, fancy dinners, ballets, Paris, Rome, and Tokyo. He had shown her the world and now that they were back in the States taking care of her mother, who had a training accident and was now recovering from a gunshot wound, Caroline had insisted she show him fun. Though his definition of fun involved more under the covers activities the blonde decided that he needed to broaden his scope on fun as well. (we can’t all tear out hearts and laugh about it) So she surprised him one night with one of her new outfits, no outfits isn’t right nor is underwear there was much too little to be left to the imagination. He said yes while trying to get the damned thing off. As much as Klaus was psychotic he was a man of his word so now here he is standing in front of the zoo. “okay one last time, lets go over the rules” Caroline said with a quirked brow, she couldn’t control him, not really. But when threatened to go without sex for a week Klaus can be very agreeable to certain terms. “No snapping necks, no compelling crying children, I must not eat any of the caged or otherwise animals, no snacking humans while within the zoo walls… anything else sweetheart?” “no just please try and have fun. I know this seems lame but you have to try” she smiled at Klaus as he nodded and walked over to buy their tickets. Klaus wouldn’t admit it but he was enjoying his time with Caroline, her face was almost childlike glee at every part of the tour through the zoo. They went to see the monkeys first, as soon as they got there Caroline walked close to the glass separating her from them staring for just a moment. It was nice to see her like this, a huge grin on her face always looking to him hoping he was having just as much fun. Once a zoo keeper went on with his speech Klaus rolled his eyes and walked around the corner trying to drown out the noise. He noticed a very peculiar monkey hanging from branch staring at him, as the hybrid looked back and tilted his head the animal seemed to do the same. The two kept at it for awhile Klaus didn’t know how long he had been doing this but soon he heard the tell tale sound of Caroline’s phone taking a picture, she laughed at his face firmly stuck in a scowl.  “are you going to delete that?” he asked angrily, not even Caroline should have a picture of him staring at a monkey. It was too human, too weak that he seemed perplexed by an unevolved animal. “no but I won’t share it with anyone either, its for my personal enjoyment.” she smiled.  “just that one, no more for today” He said trying to sound authoritative. He knew it was no use, if she asked he would give her the moon.  “I’ll make you a deal. I promise to delete this picture if you promise to take one of my choosing later today” Caroline spoke diplomatically. Klaus saw right through it, after a year he knew when she was up to something and this was a very big something. He walked closer to her, eyebrows high and a smirk on his face. “what are you up to?” “nothing, I simply want a nice picture of the man I love. Is that so hard to believe?” Caroline giggled, knowing it always seemed to work when she used his words against him.  “alright love, but only one picture” he said as he grabbed her hand and found the next animal the blonde next to him wanted to see. Apparently koala’s are high on the list of important parts of this trip. ________________________________________________________________ “Last one and we can go home, I promise.” Caroline said, she still needed that picture and quite honestly she had been waiting since the idea of the zoo popped into her head a month ago.  However the goal seemed quite difficult, Klaus’ patience had been wearing thin since shortly after the monkey debacle. A family with four year old twins and a whiny ten year old had been practically following them the whole day, one place after another they seemed to be right where the couple was. Though Klaus loved to see his girlfriend happy he only had so much patience when watching a little girl throw her fourth temper tantrum of the day. “Sweetheart we have been to almost every bloody station in this place where else?” he questions irritably. Caroline smiled “ I want a picture of you next to the wolves” “then we leave not a second more” he said rolling his eyes at how cheesy she could be sometimes.  Caroline ran under the sign reading “house of the wolves” to look for the perfect spot. Once she found the area with the most wolves she waited for Klaus to come in. Looking around she noticed only the zookeeper and a few more. It seemed the curse of the young family was gone. perfect she thought. As soon as Klaus walked in with rage radiating off him her picture began to fall apart before her eyes. The wolves started whining in submission and bowing their heads, everyone looked around in confusion even the zoo keeper. As Klaus walked to stand next to Caroline he noticed as well it was like they were ….. afraid. “this has never happened before” the man thought aloud “I have only seen wolves do this when an alpha is present, but this zoo does not allow any here so that the packs may roam free.” At the word “Alpha” Klaus’ mood changed, he sported a huge grin like it was christmas day, While Caroline repeated his actions from earlier and formed a scowl on hers. She heard him chuckle in amusement over the situation. These wolves recognized Klaus as someone above them, their alpha. The hybrid leaned and whispered in Caroline’s ear. “Do you need anymore proof that I am the alpha male love?” she glared at him, if looks could kill he’d be ash. “I’ll be in the car” then turned on her heel and stormed out of the zoo. He knew she was upset, but he couldn’t keep grinning as he watched her walk away. Then he had an idea, he slowly walked toward a large group of wolves hoping they would stay close. “Caroline” he called  As she turned around, he planted a huge grin on his face and signaled for her to take a picture. The blonde rolled her eyes and walked closer, it wasn’t what she wanted but she would take it. “okay say cheese” Caroline said As she hit the button for the picture to take Klaus let out a low threatening growl and watched the wolves run away. Caroline prayed she had gotten the picture before he did it but they had gone unanswered. As she looked at the final product it was Klaus with his hands crossed over his chest and wolfish grin on his face and seven wolves running far from him. The young vampire simply turned around again and headed for the front gates. “Wait! I thought you wanted a picture!”

A Secret Valentine for jomoporn!

“I want at least another 3 love hearts over there.” said Caroline as she pointed over to the entrance of the school gym.

She was in charge of this year’s Mystic Falls High School Valentine’s dance. The gym was slowly being decorated by her instruction. She had Matt and Jeremy doing most of the heavy lifting and a whole score of slaves - I mean volunteers - also helping out. 

“Gosh, Elena. There needs to be a tonne more streamers over there as well! I mean, are you even trying?!”

Elena shared a look with Bonnie before looking back to Caroline. “Alright, alright.” Elena replied.

“Did someone say more streamers?” Came a British accent from behind Caroline.

She turned and met face to face with Klaus. He was holding an armful of streamers and was smiling at her.

“Yeah, but I didn’t want you to bring them.” Caroline began. “What are you even doing here anyway?

”

He placed the streamers on the ground and patted his hands on his jeans before coming closer to Caroline.

“Well, you know me love. I can’t resist a good party.” He said to her in an amused voice.

Caroline glared at him and raised an eyebrow, not falling for it.

Klaus chuckled. “I came to ask if you had a date to the dance.” He explained.

“As a matter of fact I do.” Caroline replied. Klaus’ expression suddenly became dark and his hand clenched into a fist.

“Who is it?” He asked, trying to keep his voice calm.

“That’s none of your business. Now if you’ll excuse me.” Caroline said and walked away. Klaus’ eyes followed her, still consumed by anger.

 And, he realized, jealousy.

The night of the dance came around and Caroline was standing near the entrance looking out into the sea of high school students. Elena was dancing with Stefan and Bonnie had come with Jeremy and she saw them talking in the corner.

Caroline was waiting for her date.

It was just a guy from school that had a serious crush on her. She didn’t particularly like him but she didn’t want to come dateless and give Klaus and excuse to step in.

But why wasn’t he here yet?

She looked to the entrance for the millionth time. That’s when she saw Klaus come into the gym.

Caroline whipped her head away, trying not to attract his attention.

But Klaus saw her anyway and walked over to her.

“For a guy who claims to be as evil as it gets, you do seem to enjoy high school dances.” Caroline mocked, when he stood next to her.

“They’re always a bit of fun.” Klaus replied, grinning. “But it seems I’ve already had my fun tonight.”

Caroline’s eyebrow crinkled in confusion. What did he mean?

“I hope you haven’t been wondering where your date is, Caroline. Unfortunately, he won’t be making it tonight.”

Caroline’s mouth dropped open in surprise. “What did you do?” She asked suspiciously.

“I won’t burden you with the gory details but let’s just say he won’t be coming after you again.”

Caroline’s eyes flared. “You can’t do that to any guy who’s interested in me, Klaus!” She cried.

“They don’t deserve you, love! Can you believe what Valentine’s gift he was going to give you? A book voucher, Caroline. A book voucher!” He exclaimed, as though disgusted with the idea.

Caroline stared at him in disbelief for a long moment. But then she couldn’t help laughing.

Klaus looked at her in shock but then he started laughing too.

“I got you something so much better.” Klaus began, once they’d recovered. He pulled a small jewelry box out from his jacket pocket. “I think it’ll match the bracelet I gave you.”

Caroline opened the box and her eyes became wide with wonder.

Inside were the most beautiful diamond earrings she had ever seen. They matched perfectly with her bracelet. She didn’t even want to imagine how much they might have cost.

Caroline looked up into Klaus’ eyes. “Thank you.” She said, in a low voice.

Klaus smiled in response. “You’re welcome.”

“Oh, alright then. You can be my Valentine.” Caroline relented with a smile.

“Wait? Seriously? It was that easy? I thought I’d have to beg for hours.” Klaus cried.

“Well maybe a part of me was always hoping my date wouldn’t show up and you’d have to step in.”

She pulled him over to the dance floor just as a slow ballad came on.

Caroline rested her head against his shoulder as they rotated slowly.

“Happy Valentine’s day, Caroline.” Klaus whispered in her ear.

“Happy Valentine’s day, Klaus.”

A Secret Valentine for myklaroline!

The first time she brought up the subject of children, he laughed.  He laughed so hard in fact that Caroline didn’t speak to him for a week.  The idea of someone like him, who had been oh so affectionately called the devil or evil incarnate on many different occasions, raising a child was laughable, but Caroline did not seem to think so.  He admired that about her.  Her ability to look at him and still see something good buried deep in his black, unbeating heart, although whether that good actually existed or not was debatable, but she seemed to think so. 

 The second, third, and fourth times she brought it up, Klaus said no, putting his foot down.  She had gone as far as to make him a list of all the reasons it was a good idea, her infamous lists had become the death of him.  Any time she wanted something she made an endless list of all the reasons they should do it or he should give into her, often completed with pre-prepared arguments for all of his objections, making it nearly impossible for him to say no.   Those lists were the reason they still lived in Mystic Falls instead of one of the more glamorous and cultural cities in the world, the reason he now wore a slim, silver band on his left hand, and the reason he often found himself standing outside the house at three o’clock in the morning waiting for the dog she insisted on getting to relieve himself.  Being a father was a notion Klaus had set aside over a thousand years ago.  It did not fit into his plans for building his hybrid reserves; it did not allow for him to whisk Caroline away at a moment’s notice.  It didn’t allow for a lot of things and those simply were not things he was willing to give up.  She was determined though and that tenacity that had attracted him to her in the first place was beginning to be his undoing.  She pushed and pulled; prodded and not-so-subtly hinted every day, refusing to let the issue go, volunteering to babysit Elena’s son for the afternoon or keep Bonnie’s daughter for the weekend.  He would usually find an excuse to vacate the mansion for the afternoon or weekend, but he had to admit that Caroline was made for motherhood.  It suited her.  She had the energy to keep up with even the most boisterous child and endless ideas to keep him or her entertained for hours on end.  He was beginning to feel guilty for taking that option away from her.  Guilt was not an emotion he was used to in his nearly fifteen hundred years, but one Caroline was able to stir in him with a single look.  That was ultimately why the fifth time she brought up the subject, she didn’t have to.

 “I think I’m okay with it,” Caroline said one evening as the couple laid in bed, bringing Klaus’s eyes up from the book he’d been reading, or rereading rather. He was used to this by now.  Caroline often began conversations with vague statements that forced him to ask her what in the world she was talking about, but she seemed to beat him to the punch this time.  “I think I’m okay with not being a mom.   I’ve been a vampire for almost ten years now and I think it’s a part of my humanity I just need to let go of.”

 “Caroline..”

 “No,” she stopped him, “I’m not trying to guilt you into it.  I think it’s time to give up it up.  I’m a vampire and it’s just a silly human pipe dream.”  He thought about speaking up again, but decided in this case actions were going to speak far louder than words.   Reaching into the bedside table, he pulled out a manila envelope, placing it in her lap.  “What’s this?” She asked, placing a hand on top of.

 “It’s a list of adoption agencies I’ve already compelled to put us on the list.  As far as they’re concerned , everything is in order for an adoption,” he said, looking back down at the book, attempting to keep the smirk from his face as he felt her eyes boring into him. 

 Caroline’s speechlessness never lasted long and he found her arms around him suddenly, startling the mutt lying at the end of their bed.  “We’re doing this, you are really okay with this?” she asked one more time to assure herself as she pressed her lips to his cheek. 

 “It’s either this or listening to you sigh like you do every time you see a child for the rest of all eternity,” he said with a small chuckle as he watched her pull back enough to look up at him.  “If you want this badly enough to not let it go for five years, we can do it, but you need to know I’m not going to change. It’s been eight years now, Caroline, and you should know by now that I’m set in my ways.  I’m going to be bad at this,” he warned her, his hand cupping the side of her face.  She needed to know going in that this was not going to be his forte.

 “You said yes that’s all that matters.” She kissed him once more before curling into his chest.

A Secret Valentine for klarolineepiclove!

HELLO ALEX MY LOVE! I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS FIC I WROTE SPECIFICALLY WITH YOU IN MIND!  And you'll probably laugh knowing that I realized this morning before I finished writing to send it to Leonie that this fic was well over 3,000 words, so if I were allowed, you'd be getting a very long one-shot! I edited it down and rewrote a lot of bits, and some got it just under 2,500! But I hope you like it!! 

Love,

Your Secret Valentine

  You’ll Turn Up at My Door

(Takes place pre-4x12)

Caroline rolled her eyes and threw the bouquet of tulips that Klaus had gotten her in the trash can beside her garage. It was the fifth gift that he had sent her this week. Every time she came home and found another gift (a box of chocolates from Switzerland, a teddy bear with a balloon, a pair of Swarovski earrings, a gift certificate to a day spa in a neighboring town) waiting for her on her doorstep, she felt like screaming. She didn’t even know where he got the tulips, considering they weren’t in season. Any other girl would think a boy getting her the bouquet of her favorite flowers versus the standard, but still romantic, rose bouquet was the sweetest thing in the world; but not Caroline. This was Klaus; Rage-a-holic, psychotic, vengeful, homicidal, daggers his own family Klaus. He was the biggest villain they had ever encountered; but the more she got to know him and be around him, the more she started to see in him what she didn’t even think existed—humanity. But he found out about Tyler’s plot against him and had taken all the hybrids out, each and every one of them for their betrayal. And Caroline had heard all the stories: If you crossed Klaus, he’d kill everyone you’ve ever loved, everyone you’ve ever met. It was his M.O.; and maybe everyone was happy to believe the Mayor had gotten a little too schnockered at the party and had fallen and drowned accidentally, but something just felt off to Caroline. And after finding Tyler in a trembling, crumpled heap by the candle vigil for his mother, Caroline doubted she could ever find it in her heart to forgive Klaus. All the tulips in the world couldn’t fix the damage he’d done. She threw her things on the kitchen table and felt her phone vibrate and heard it ding in her pocket. She frowned as she saw she had received a text from Klaus. “I just want you to know that I had those tulips imported from Amsterdam, love. Give you a little taste of the beautiful, unique country until you can go and see it for yourself...” She rolled her eyes and opened a text to respond. “I just want you to know that you could leave me a fucking windmill with a little Dutch girl in traditional garb and wooden shoes on my doorstep and I still wouldn’t give a rat’s ass... And like I’d go to Amsterdam with you after everything you’ve done...” She angrily hit the send button and shoved her phone back into her pocket and stomped up the stairs to her bedroom. As she shrugged her navy blue cardigan off her shoulders and tossed it on her bed, her phone trilled again. “I never said I’d take you, but that’s where your mind first went. Interesting.” She could hear his smirk as read his text message and she quickly opened another text and angrily typed back to him. “Don’t flatter yourself, Klaus. I’d rather drink a gallon of vervain while sunbathing on the beach without my daylight ring before I’d globe trot with you.” She tossed her phone back onto her bed angrily. She felt so stressed from the day and even more so now being harassed by the Original Ass, so she decided to shower to try and ease some of the tension and stress she was feeling. She finished and slowly made her way back to her room and saw she had three next texts. She sighed and unlocked the phone and opened the texts. “I’m sorry that you feel that way, love, especially since I always enjoy your company, no matter the reason I’ve garnered it. I’m no fool, I know there’s some higher purpose for your friendliness or outgoing behavior towards me. If you really thought I was ignorant of that fact, you don’t know me as well as you thought, sweetheart.” She scrolled and opened the next one. “However much it will disappoint me, I will eventually get over your ultimate and final rejection, Caroline, should it come to that. It will disappoint me because you will be choosing to precariously cling to a life too small to accommodate your potential; not just in immortality, but in the sheer nature of your spirit. You have such a light in you, Caroline Forbes, such a presence. It disappoints me to think that that spark, that flame, will never spread or reach its peak when it’s being stifled and contained to a life of the ordinary when it is destined for nothing less than the extraordinary.” Caroline realized she had stopped breathing and decided to go get a drink of water downstairs to clear her head. When she passed the island counter top, she saw a note from her mom: Caroline, I’m sorry, but I have to work tonight. Tyler called, he can’t meet you today as you two had planned. Hayley is back. I’m sorry, sweetie. Try and make plans with someone else and have a good night. -Mom Hayley, better known to Caroline as ‘the Were-Bitch,’ had been Tyler’s ‘friend’ that had helped him break Klaus’s sire bond, and Klaus came to believe that she and Tyler had done the nasty in the Appalachian Mountains without Caroline’s knowledge. So they let him believe that and played into it, but it turned out that Klaus had figured out their scheme long before they knew that he knew; but he’d played along and that’s what surprised Caroline. In a way, Caroline felt as if she’d allowed Hayley to wedge between her and Tyler’s relationship, especially after the Miss Mystic pageant. Tyler had told Caroline later that Hayley had come clean at the Winter Wonder party, once Klaus had gone, and confessed everything to Klaus in order to fulfill some deal she’d made with Professor Shady (as Caroline had come to call him, but not in front of Bonnie of course) and hopefully she’d be giving him a head start to run and avoid Klaus’s wrath. Hence, why Caroline though Klaus killed Carol Lockwood; he hadn’t been able to get his hands on Tyler. What Caroline didn’t understand was why Tyler was meeting with Hayley. He’d flipped out and thrown a bourbon glass in her direction when she broke the news to him that Klaus had given up Chris for Jeremy to kill to grow his hunter’s mark after she’d agreed to go on a single date with him; if Hayley offered up his entire pack to Klaus, Caroline should be handing her a hard hat. Why was he being casual and not just meeting up with her, but blowing off their Valentine’s Day plans? She’d believed Tyler and trusted him when he said that nothing had happened between him and Hayley, but her telling Klaus about the hybrids to give Tyler a chance to run and him meeting up with her now bothered her. The fact that the Were-Bitch had snapped her neck in the bathroom during the Winter party didn’t help her opinion of her either. She sighed and looked down at her phone, realizing she still had one more text from Klaus to read. “I have one last gift to give you, but at the risk of it ending up in your garbage pail like the other presents, I will hold onto it. I will hold onto it for as long as you like, sweetheart, and you can come and get it whenever you like. I have all the time in the world to wait. They say the best things in life are worth waiting for... and you’re worth the wait. Fondly, Klaus.” If Caroline’s heart was still beating, she was sure it would’ve stopped. She quickly scoffed and closed the text message in an attempt to brush off the heavy feeling she suddenly had and rid herself of the knots in her stomach. She dialed Tyler and listened to the dial tone before hearing his voicemail pick up and beep for her to leave a message. “Hey Tyler, it’s me... Caroline... Your girlfriend...” she stressed the last word, trudging back up to her room, “I heard Hayley’s back... How is the little backstabber? Or should I say ‘the little neck breaker’? Anyway, call me back, let me know what’s going on... I’d love to see you, it is Valentine’s Day after all...” Caroline hung up without saying goodbye, feeling bummed and in a rotten mood. She paused and looked around her room and thought to herself. She started dialing her phone again and pressed the phone to her ear. “Hey! It’s me... Meet me at the Grille in half an hour and wear something hot...”

-~-~-~-~-~-

Two and a half hours later, Caroline was at the Grille with Bonnie and had a stomach full of food and alcohol to quench her thirst. Maybe a little more alcohol than food, but the effort to stave off her thirst for blood by eating was made. She’d opened up and just spilled to Bonnie about all of her fears and annoyances that surrounded Tyler and Hayley’s relationship, and it felt really good to just talk openly with her best friend. With all the life and death drama that was constantly happening, she couldn’t remember the last time she’d just hung out and talked about non-supernatural stuff with her friends. Caroline opened her mouth to tell Bonnie more about her Valentine’s plans she’d had with Tyler but she was suddenly struck completely speechless. There they were, Tyler and Hayley, tucked into a corner booth sitting close together and looking very cozy. Too cozy for Caroline’s comfort. Before the blonde vampire could say anything to her friend, Hayley was suddenly leaning the short distance towards Tyler and pressing her lips to his. Caroline felt her heart clench, hoping that Tyler’d jerk away, make some passionate speech about how much he loved his girlfriend, then storm out. But that didn’t happen. Hayley pulled away after a moment, gazing into his eyes, and suddenly Tyler leaned in and initiated the kiss. Caroline felt her heart drop into her stomach and she hadn’t even realized she was standing a few feet from their table until Tyler was suddenly turned and facing her. “Caroline? What are you doing here---” he started and when Caroline realized she had come to their table, she knew what she’d come there to say and do. “We’re through...” Caroline said, turning to leave. “Caroline, let me explain, I...” Tyler sighed but Caroline turned and unleashed the whirling tempest that was raging inside of her. “You know, anytime anyone questioned whether you were any different from the douchebag wide receiver from our freshman year, I was the one to defend you. If someone ignored your well-being in whatever plan was formulated to stop Klaus or stop the Originals, I fought for you when no one else would... And this is how you repay me...” “I’m sorry you had to find out this way, Care, it’s just...” “It’s just you’ve been lying to me, you’ve been lying to me since you got back from the mountains... How could I be so stupid...” Caroline turned to walk away, but again Tyler’s words stopped her. “It’s not like you had a problem flirting with Klaus and hanging all over him every chance you got... How long were you two going at it while I was gone?”  he spat angrily and before he could say anything else, Caroline picked up both his and Hayley’s drinks, not caring what they were, and threw them in their faces. The werewolf and hybrid sat in shock, dripping wet, and Caroline leaned in closer for them to hear her clearly. “That was for sneaking around with my boyfriend, pretending to be my friend, then snapping my neck in the bathroom, you skanky little Were-Bitch...” she said firmly to Hayley before turning to Tyler. “And that was for even suggesting that I would cheat on you, which I never ever did... I deserve better than this, so you can go to hell...” Caroline turned on her heel, muttered to Bonnie, “I’ll text you later...” while grabbing her things and exited the Grille.

Klaus wiped his hand across his forehead, not realizing he’d smudged some paint across it when he did. He heard the front door open and close, figuring it was Rebekah letting herself in like she always did, and smirked when he heard the footsteps approaching, but he didn’t turn away from the canvas he was working on. “Did Stefan not take you up on your ‘Singles Appreciation’ movie date offer?” he asked lightly and when she didn’t respond he turned and saw a different blonde approaching him. He turned to her, unable to hide the surprise on his face. “Caroline... To what do I owe this pleas--” he started but was silenced as Caroline dropped her bag and things at his feet, grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him in for a passionate kiss. Klaus felt the paintbrush drop from his hand and his paint splattered hands wrapped around her waist allowing himself to get lost in the feeling of her smooth lips against his, and he was just grateful to be experiencing this with her in his own body. After a while, Caroline pulled away and Klaus did his best to catch his breath. She started to say something but she stopped when she caught a glimpse of the canvas behind him. A faceless blonde vampire was spinning happily, her blonde curls swirling around her just like her skirt was, her beautiful locks the main source of light in the painting. Her light cast shadows on objects behind her, which she slowly realized were different major landmarks: Big Ben in London, the Pyramids at Giza, the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, the Colosseum in Rome, the Empire State Building, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris the biggest in the middle. Klaus smiled at Caroline, who was speechless, still gazing at the canvas, and turned and picked up something from his work table before turning back to her. Caroline finally looked back at him and he held out what he’d picked up: an envelope with her name on it. “Perhaps now, this won’t end up in your garbage...” he said softly, and Caroline hesitantly took it and gingerly opened it, gasping as she saw enough airline vouchers to traipse the globe for well over a year. A smile slowly spread across her lovely face and she glanced back up at him, her eyes shiny. “So where to first?” she asked and Klaus couldn’t help but lean in, taking her face in his hands and pressing another kiss to her lips before he replied. “Wherever you want, love...”

[klarolinecampaignvalentine]

A Secret Valentine for elijahsmanhood!

Once more

With an excited smile, Caroline looked around her: a new city to discover full of hidden alleys, small shops and new stories.

She may be 117 years old to the day but she was still thrilled to travel the world.

Loneliness was another issue.

It had been a while since she last heard from any of her Mystic Falls friends. The last time they all met was when Elena died at the old yet so young age of 88. It had been heartwarming to see all her grandchildren standing around the grave. Caroline, Tyler and the Salvatore had trouble explaining how they knew Elena. After all, it’s not every day that you see teenagers calling themselves friends of your grannie.

Well, it was all in the past. And Caroline’s motto was “never look back in regret“.

She ignored a wave of sadness when she thought about her mother.

On queue, her phone signaled a new message: Stefan hadn’t forgotten about her birthday.

Their long-distance friendship had been her saving grace. Living on the run could have turned her into Katherine. Instead she kept her bubbly and brave personality. She still laughed and enjoyed every single sunrise and shopping spree but she had also learned that caution was essential for survival.

Caroline walked out of the tram in the heart of Geneva. She wanted to look around before her train to Paris.

She stopped in front of a sprawling outdoor café, taking in the view. According to her travel book it was famous for harboring french actors and poets… And tourists of course.

But a familiar voice made her shrink back:

“How mature Kol“

Across the street, Rebekah Mikaelson was shrugging away leaves from her hair as a smirking Kol was mocking her.

Caroline stood very still. No sudden movement, no running away or they’ll notice her.

So much for trying to forget about the past.

Seeing them reminded Caroline of the cure debacle: of course they found it!

Elena took it before it vanished and for a while things were calm. Until Stefan and Caroline betrayed the Originals to help their friends fake Elena’s death and make her disappear. They should have known better: Nik, being Klaus, found out.

The renegades split up and evaded his wrath in the far corners of the world. Elena’s funeral had been their only very short but sweet reunion.

And here she was, a few steps away from the Mikaelsons. Was he here? How foolish of her to come to Europe! Of course Nik would be here. Why wouldn’t he?

Her eyes spied Elijah’s elegant silhouette behind the pair, scolding them. She quickly turned to escape the upcoming disaster but ran into someone. Fearfully, she looked up to see an unknown dark haired man.

“Sorry!“

Before she could speed away the man had caught her from her elbow:

“How interesting! An américaine in Switzerland!“

Caroline tried to shrug him away but realized he was not a mere human. She gulped:

“Seriously? Let go of me. I’m late“

“And a vampire spying on the Original family!“

Caroline struggled against his grip:

“I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m late. Let go!“

He laughed and lifted her chin so he could meet her eyes:

“I’m too old to be fooled by a child. “

Caroline huffed to hide her rising panic. Between the original and this jerk, she was doomed.

“Mhh… Blonde, blue eyes… fights like an infuriated kitten. You must be her.“

A chill ran on her back as she heard another voice join in the Originals chorus and silencing them. Nik. She had to leave!

“Why in such a hurry Mademoiselle? My name is Marcel…“

“It’s a pretty ugly name if you’re asking me.“

Before he could retort, she had drawn out her homemade vervain spray, aimed for his face and ran.

Why did it had to happen on her birthday?

She spotted people queuing in front of a musueum and decided to hide there.

Once inside, she sighed with relief. That was close. As she creeped between the tourists, she was pondering: Who was he? She really had to leave the city as fast as she could. Marcel…. Marcel? Where had she heard that name? It sounded french… of course. But so damn familiar! Lost in her musing, she stopped in front of a painting that made her thoughts drift to Nik: She didn’t know if she was apprehensive or elated to have felt him so close.

“Mademoiselle Forbes, I have heard of your penchant for fine arts.“

The man looked as sleek as he had before her escape. She smiled innocently:

“Have you? To be honest, I’m not a big fan. Too dark and gloomy for ..“

She was playing for time but the older vampire’s tone wasn’t cordial anymore:

“Let’s cut the niceties mademoiselle, will you follow me willingly or do I have to drag you?“

“You’re making a mistake!“

The vampire took a step forward, his face was inches from her’s. His blue eyes were burning into hers.

Caroline tried to push him away but he roared with laughter at her attempt.

“Now I know why Niklaus enjoys you so much.“

And then, it all went black as he snapped her neck.

When she opened her eyes again, she was sprawled unceremoniously on a thick carpet. She sat up and tried to assess her whereabouts.

“Ah! perfect timing my sweet! We are leaving in five minutes. Make yourself suitable.“

His dark tone and gaze kept Caroline from speaking up.

As he left, she spotted a phone lying on the couch. She could hear Marcel rummaging in another room so she took her chance. Turning on the TV to cover the tone, she dialed.

The phone was ripped out of her hands as she was slammed against the TV.

“I’m not a man to be trifled with.“

Keeping a brave front, Caroline straightened up:

“I’m not going anywhere unless I know what’s going on.“

In the distance, she could hear her familiar ringtone. Stefan was trying to reach her. They were probably in the same timezone.

“Do as I say unless you want to end up like Marie-Antoinette.“

His face was contorted with rage. It was time to play it safe so Caroline nodded. It was down to acting dumb until she found a way to distracte him and make her exit.

Caroline complied relunctantly. She couldn’t place this man though. As she was smoothing the dress down, something clicked in her mind. Of course she knew who he was : one of Nik’s minions! A vampire known as the former King of the New Orleans underworld… That is until Niklaus Mikaelson happened.

It wouldn’t take a genius to understand what Marcel had planned. Loyalty being scarce in the supernatural world, it wasnt surprising that her abductor was going rogue. Hell, she would even aplaud it if she wasn’t once more a bargaining chip…

Stupid Nik, stupid Originals! She couldn’t count on them. She had to save herself. Why was this Mystic Falls curse still following her?

“I’m sure you will enjoy the evening I have planned.“

With an iron grip, he led her out of the apartment. Caroline wasn’t even noticing the typical view of the cobblestoned street with flags fluttering above their heads. She was dreading what was to come: how will Nik react? She had betrayed him and there was no denying that she still felt guilty. She had chosen her friend over him and lied to his face about it.

There was no way in hell that she will survive this night.

At least, she got to see more of the world, but it wasn’t enough, it will never be enough, and with that, Caroline Forbes’ fighting spirit was back. Let it not be said that she gave up even before the battle had begun.

“You know what? your plan is stupid! Klaus wants me dead anyways.“

Marcel chuckled:

“It seems that I know him better than you.“

They entered an elegant restaurant. Without any hesitation, they crossed the dining room and took the stairway leading to a private room downstairs.

She took a deep breath that she didn’t need. Here goes nothing.

Around a candle lit table, she first saw Elijah’s perfectly combed hair, Kol leaning on his chair, Klaus at the head, but what surprised Caroline was the man next to Rebekah: Stefan .

“Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse my tardiness. My guest wasn’t very cooperative.“

Caroline caught Stefan’s worried gaze. She was torn between feeling relief or confused at his closeness with Rebekah. There would be time for questions later if she does survive this.

“Bored already of Louisiana? Wasn’t expecting you so soon Marcel. Do sit down… With your guest.“

Marcel sneered. Caroline’s annoyance was turning into fury at his constant joviality: maybe he wanted to make up for his funeral home wardrobe?

“Ah Niklaus! What did you expect? It would be disgraceful to not welcome you in my turf, especially now that you’ve taken New-Orleans from my hands.“

Klaus didn’t even glance at Caroline as she was avoiding his gaze. The hybrid’s full attention seemed to be on his former pupil and yet his amused face was merely hiding his rumination.

Rebekah interrupted them carelessly:

“Kol stop dumping this disgusting and smelly cheese on my plate or I’ll pluck your eyes out with this.“

“Rebekah, Kol, please behave.“ Smooth as ever, Elijah turned his gaze to Caroline.

“Miss Forbes, it’s a pleasure to see you after such a long time.“ She nodded, clearing her throat:

“Hi. Well I’m glad to see you and… Stefan.“ 

With a re-awakened assurance, she shifted her attention to her friend:

“I wasn’t expecting to see you here.“

Damn Nik! She was going to fight for it.

A waitress walked to the head of the table and presented her wrist to Klaus.

“Care for a drink Marcel?“

“Ladies first.“

“This isn’t Caroline’s usual choice of sustenance.“

Caroline straightened up and beckoned the woman towards her:

“You have no idea what I’ve been doing or drinking these last years.“

“Now Niklaus, let the lady choose her last meal.“ 

Klaus raised his eyebrows:

“I wasn’t aware that she was once more contemplating death.“

His face seemed completly relaxed but Caroline noticed his hand clenching on his fork.

Had he forgiven her? Why was he reacting like this? It was curiosity that lead her to raise her eyes to his. He noticed her attention instantly and their gaze met. So many words were silently uttered between them. it was maybe a blessing that on their first encounter since the betrayal they couldn’t argue: eye to eye, everything becomes clearer and simpler.

The echo of a cherished memory lingered as Caroline read it in his gaze: you’re safe. And she knew it was true.

“So Marcel maybe you should tell me all about the little game you want to play tonight. Let me warn you, I’m in a mood to win.“

The other vampire kept his smile:

“I have no doubt about your obsession with having the upper hand. However I would be interested to know what you aim to win this time: New-Orleans or this damsel.“

Caroline pushed the waitress away and stood up. She had had enough:

“Whatever! I’m out of here. I have a train to catch tonight.“ But Marcel hand clasped her arm:

“You’re not going anywhere ma chérie…Except where I choose to take you.“

She didn’t have time to blink, it all went so fast. The poor waitress was thrown on the table as Caroline found herself backed against the wall with Klaus in front her and Stefan at her side.

“I can admire your dedication for your quest but enough with this masquerade“

Rebekah, still on her chair, shrugged daintily:

“Marcel be a man for once.“

The tension was so dense that Caroline was struggling to stay calm as stared at Nik’s shoulders.

“Let’s be reasonable Niklaus. I’m tired of having to defer to you. New-Orleans is mine. I couldn’t care less for this insipid girl.“

Caroline held back her opinion and instead noticed that no one was standing between her and the door.

She didn’t think twice as she ran up the stairs and found herself out in the fresh air.

Inadvertently, she ended up in a deserted square. Wearily she noticed a beautiful church but found it cheerless. At this point, she needed lights, stores and fun. She turned around to leave and here he was. Nik raised his blood splattered hands:

“Caroline, hear me out before you dash away. I’m over our squable.“

She rolled her eyes in disbelief:

“Really? I’m not that stupid Klaus. I know that you never forgive. Didn’t you say that your good opinion once lost is lost forever?“

She was aiming to hurt him by using his formal name and not the intimate Nik.

“I may have said that. However, you never lost my esteem.“

He placed his hands gently yet firmly on her shoulders to prevent her escape.

“I do confess I was angry at first… Enraged even.“ She lowered her gaze to escape his intense stare.

“And yet, in spite of my better judgement, I forgave you.

His voice was very low now:

“And now that precious Elena is dead. I trust you won’t befriend the next doppelganger?“

Did she detect a hint of humor in his words? She perused his face through her lashes.

“Did you really think I would have let Marcel harm you?“

He was very close, his intoxicating scent was surrounding her, lulling her into the shelter of his arms bur she wouldn’t give in:

“Yes.“

“Do you still think so low of me Caroline?“ His words were laced with mirth.

They were sharing the same air now but she wouldn’t meet his eyes.

Her body was slowly melting towards his in spite of herself.

Once more, he was shattering her resistance. And once more, she was making him absolve her.They were indeed a strange pair.

“Why would you even forgive me? Nik, I…“ 

Bravely, her eyes met his: of course she knew the answer to her question.

Behind them the bells chimed twelve as his lips crashed on hers.

Her hands rose to pull him closer, her fingers entwined in his hair as his arms were wrapped around her waist crushing her body in his.

Their embrace was fierce but Caroline’s heart was at peace. After this ordeal and all those years on the run, thinking he hated her, she was finally home.

They broke away and her head nestled against his chest.

His eyes were twinkling:

“Champagne?“ 

She burst out laughing.

He’s out with Marcel when Rebekah calls, making his “rounds”, of sorts, around New Orleans’ French Quarter. The supernatural community has been docile for the two decades that he’s been here, so he’s almost expecting a rebellion. He can hardly believe that he’s lived in peace for so long. Truthfully, it has been boring. Rebekah has come with him, despite everything, as have Elijah and Kol, the latter of whom is still sore about his last daggering in Mystic Falls twenty years ago. No matter that Kol was only daggered for a day, his own personal rebellion against Klaus will continue for the next century, probably. A thousand years old, yet no more than a child, Klaus sighs to himself. When will Kol learn? Rebekah’s voice interrupts his thoughts. He realizes that he’s actually answered the phone and she’s been talking this entire time. “They’re here, Nik. She’s here for you. Come home, please?” “What?” he says, confusion etched into his tone. “Bekah, what are you saying? Who are you speaking of?” Immediately, Rebekah is irritated, and rightly so. “You haven’t listened to a single word I’ve said, have you?” “I’m sorry, Bekah,” he says, wanting to appease her. It’s different now, their relationship. It might have something to do with the fact that they’re all together now, finally, after so many centuries apart. It might also have to do with the noticeable lack of Finn, who, despite being dull, had always been their older brother. Klaus had carried Finn’s body, daggered, for nine hundred years, yes, but in those nine centuries, he’d always had the option to bring Finn back to life. That is something he doesn’t have now. Even for them, eternity can be cut short. It is a sobering thought. Mostly, though, the change in dynamics has to do with the fact that the they are all, with the exception of Kol, pining, as weak as that makes them. They do it silently, quietly, and suddenly, somehow, this family is not enough for them. “She’s here, Nik,” Rebekah says again, purposely leaving out who ‘she’ is. Nik doesn’t need her to explain. Caroline. There’s really no one else it can be. “Caroline?” he asks, trying to keep his voice neutral. His sister has never gotten along with Caroline, he knows, and the baby vampire is not indestructible. If Caroline says something to irritate Rebekah, there is no telling what he will come home to. “Yes, Caroline,” Rebekah huffs. Then, in a softer voice, she adds, “Stefan has come, too.” This spurs him into action. The Ripper? It is one thing for Caroline to have come alone; that can be a trap that the stupid Scooby Gang, led by the doppelganger and her Salvatore sidekicks, have set up. He knows from his time in Mystic Falls that Damon Salvatore will send Caroline to do anything that is deemed “too dangerous” for Elena. Klaus, personally, doesn’t see why. The doppelganger is far too much of a nuisance, and if he hadn’t needed her blood twenty years ago, he would have killed her just to avoid hearing her voice ever again in his life. As it is, she is only alive because Caroline wished it. Caroline, who, if Rebekah is to be believed, is at his home now. Presumably, she is waiting for him. Muttering some feeble excuse to Marcel, he takes his leave, running all the way home. The front door is unlocked when he arrives ten minutes later, so he steps in cautiously. He listens quietly for a moment, taking stock of where everyone is. Rebekah and Stefan are...reuniting upstairs, so Klaus quickly shifts his attention elsewhere. He finds Caroline in the kitchen, and walks there slowly, using human speed instead of vampire. He has been waiting twenty years for this, for her, and he is a patient man. He can wait a few more seconds. When Klaus reaches the doorway to the kitchen, Caroline’s back is to him. She is rummaging through the fridge trying to find something to eat, and she straightens when she finds something acceptable. She obviously knows that he is watching her, but makes no motion to come flying into his arms. Not that he was thinking about her to come running into his arms. But it’s been twenty years. Doesn’t he deserve something? She finally turns around and he straightens, a smirk unfurling onto his face. Caroline holds up her hands, gripping blood bags, and raises her eyebrows at him. “Blood bags?” she asks. They are the first words she has said to him in twenty years, and they are beautiful. He has said before that the only period of his entire existence when he felt time was when he was under the Hunter’s Curse. While it had not been a lie when he’d said it, it is a lie now.  Klaus has felt, with an aching clarity, every day that he has spend without Caroline in these past twenty years. But none of that matters now. She has shown up at his door. She is here, she is safe, and she is drinking the blood bags that he has kept stocked for her. “They’re for you,” he answers, not dropping the smirk. “I figured you’d come around soon enough.” “Because you know me so well?” she asks pointedly. Her eyebrows are still raised, but he can see that she is fighting a smile. The end result is quite amusing, he thinks. There is a light in her eyes that he hasn’t seen before, and it takes Klaus a few seconds to realize that she is actually genuinely happy to see him. Armed with this knowledge, he nods. “I think you’re happy to see me, Caroline.” “Oh, you do, do you?’ “Yes. And I think you know me well enough to realize that I’m not going to hurt you.” “I don’t think you want to hurt me, Klaus,” she says, shaking her head. “Why’d you come here, Caroline?” he asks, dropping all pretenses. It’s all well and good that they know each other very well by now, but he wants to know who he has to kill. Who made Caroline angry enough that she decided to run away from home and stop putting her friends first? What did they do to hurt her so badly that she realized that for once, she could be selfless? Caroline puts the blood bags down onto the kitchen counter and walks over to him. When she gets close enough, she reaches out to put both of her hands on his shoulders, going upwards until she’s cupping his face. “I missed you,” she says simply. “And I hope you can forgive the fact that I didn’t come with you and-” Caroline doesn’t get to finish the rest of her sentence because Klaus has slanted his lips over hers and backed her up against the nearest cupboard. His mouth is hot and wet on hers, and his arms going up to either sides of her, trapping her in. When she puts her hands in his curly hair and tugs him closer, he changes tactics. Suddenly, his hands are on her, moving all over. Everything he touches is on fire, and she has never been more aware of anyone in her entire life. He pulls away too soon, she thinks, and rests his forehead against hers, meeting her gaze with eyes wide open. She can see how vulnerable he is right now, so she smiles softly. “How soon can we be in Paris?” she asks. He simply smiles back.
