Hex and the city: The curse of his salvation - Klaroline Mashup day 3

So 3 day event 3 drabbles yay me! This is for day 3 of the Klaroline Mash up event: Magic & Bedsharing! And because it’s my birthday it’s extra long! Enjoy! Set after TVD season 4 finale no magical babies! I don’t own TVD or TO

Caroline tried to drive through the crowds of the New Orleans nightlife. But her head was getting very dizzy and the sweat made her hands slippery on the wheel. Her sight was getting hazy as well and she prayed that she would find the address soon because she didn’t know how much longer she would be able to drive safely without being a danger to herself or others. She bit her teeth hard as another burning pain shot up and down her body her muscles tensing painfully. Only for a second the world went black.And in that second she heard the crash and felt the shock of her car coming to an abrupt halt. She had never had an accident before - or at least not one that she caused - but now she had crashed right into a concrete roadblock. Thankfully not another person she managed to think to herself. The hood of her car was dented and there was smoke coming out of it. Worried and curious people were gathering around her car. With the little strength she could master she kicked the door open hard nearly breaking it off it’s hinges people staring at her wide eyed.

“Are you ok lady?” A half drunken frat boy walked up to her.

Caroline could hear his blood pulsing through his arteries. She was so thirsty and so weak.And he smelled so delicious...She needed to get out of here fast! It couldn’t be far now. She pushed herself through the crowd hoping that in the middle of the drunkenness of whatever party was going on in the city here she wouldn’t be noticed. Looking up she saw she had the right street now and in the middle of it was the house the lady in the bar had described.She stumbled to the door trying to stay up straight by holding .on to the doorframe with one hand, and holding on to her stomach with the other. She felt like her body was splitting in two pieces. She knocked on the door hard hoping SOMEBODY would be home.

She was relieved when she saw a vampire opening the door. He was large and mean looking but at least she was probably at the right spot.

“What do you want?” the vampire asked rather rude.

“I’m looking for Klaus Mikaelson!” Caroline breathed through her pain.

“He’s in a meeting , no visitors today” The vampire wanted to close the door again.

Caroline tried to put her foot in the door to keep it from closing completely.

“No you don’t understand it’s urgent…. My name is Caroline Forbes, please just tell him i’m here” Caroline begged the man shaking like she was in heroin withdrawal.

“Look lady!” The vampire started to raise his voice “I don’t care what your name is, he said not to disturb him so get lost before I rip your head off”

“Ronald what seems to be the issue here?” A familiar deep voice emerged from the back.

“Elijah!” Caroline gasped relieved before she fell on her knees letting out a painful scream as she clutched to her head.

“Miss Forbes!!” Elijah pulled her up again supporting her under her shoulder.”Go get Niklaus” He barked at the vampire named Ronald.

“But he said not to disturb him….” Ronald whimpered.

Caroline was annoyed by how scared he sounded for somebody so intimidatingly looking.

“I don’t care go upstairs tell him Caroline Forbes is here and she’s hurt… GO!” Elijah shouted as he placed Caroline on the sofa.

With vampire speed Ronald was all the way on the other side of the compound, the smell of sage hitting his nostrils. He couldn’t hear any voices coming from the meeting area but he knew they were there. Gently and politely he knocked on the door 3 times.

“Enter!” Klaus’ voice bellowed through the door.

Ronald swallowed hard before he walked into the room. At a long table the most powerful supernatural beings of New Orleans were joined discussing territory and power.

“I thought I said I did not wanted to be disturbed” Klaus growled deeply.

“I know sir...I- I’m sorry but your brother send me….he said it’s urgent” Ronald tried to explain.

“And what could possibly be so urgent that he said to disturb me during a faction meeting” Klaus asked him contempt filling his voice.

“A girl named Caroline Forbes just arrived sir, she seems to be hurt” Ronald said in one breath hoping Klaus wouldn’t rip his heart out.

Klaus’ eyes widened only for a second before he regained his composure.

“Meeting is adjourned!” He said calmly waving his hand towards the door.

“Klaus we were in the middle of an important discussion” Marcel reminded him not realising why they all had to leave so sudden.

“I said the meeting was adjourned!” Klaus barked again.

The rest other faction members hurried out the door as soon as klaus raised his voice leaving only Marcel in the room.

“Do you know how difficult it is to get all these people in one room?” Marcel asked annoyed following Klaus as he rushed downstairs.

Klaus found her sitting on the sofa next to Elijah shaking vigorously. She was nearly blue pale and her hair clung wet to her face from the sweats. Her lips were cracked in multiple places and her eyes sunken deep into her face. She looked on the verge of dying. He was next to her in an instant holding his face in between her two hands.

“Caroline” he whispered in a soothing voice trying to catch her gaze.

“I didn’t know where else to go” Caroline apologized her voice cracking from weakness.

“That’s ok love, I’m glad you’re here….’ Klaus smiled. She felt hot and feverish to his touch. “Now drink up” he continued as he bit his wrist open bringing it to her mouth.

“Who is that?” Marcel asked confused as to how caring Klaus suddenly was to this unknown young girl.

“Hopefully….his salvation” Elijah whispered under his breath as the two of them looked at the pair.

Her body seemed to relax after his blood ran through her system calming the firing pain to a dull ache like being sore a few days after falling down the stairs. Her breathing became more regular but still shallow and she was still shaking and grey looking.

“Who bit you?” Klaus asked with a growl scouring the visible parts of her body for bitemarks. Whoever did this was in for a world of pain.

“I don’t know” Caroline coughed letting go of his wrist wiping a stray drop of his blood from her lips. “One second I was in my dorm room getting ready for class the next I wake up in the forest feeling like i’m on fire I don’t remember anything.”

“Send a few hybrids to Mystic falls let them question every wolf around until you find whoever bit her.” Klaus barked at Ronald who nodded and made himself scarce.

“There’s an empty room upstairs for you to rest up love, do you think you can stand?” Klaus asked her grabbing hand and pulling her up straight when she nodded.

As soon as she stood up the room started spinning again. A wave of dizziness and nausea hitting her like a brick. She fell to her knees again in agonising pain gasping for air before puking out all Klaus’ blood again on the carpet her body shaking hard again.

“CAROLINE!” Klaus yelled trying to keep her straight. He felt powerless not knowing what was wrong with her. But when he saw the blood she was puking turning a near black color he knew it was bad…. This wasn’t a wolf bite this was magical. “Get me Sophie Deveraux!”

“She’s not going to want to help after what happened with her sister!” Elijah said carefully looking too Marcel for confirmation.

“If she wants her and her coven to live she will!” Klaus yelled again picking up Caroline from the ground and holding her close to his body.

“I’ll come with you, maybe I can put in some leverage” Marcel said nodding reassuringly before leaving the compound with Elijah.

Klaus carried Caroline up to the spare bedroom next to his placing her on the soft bed. She was coughing hard nearly choking and struggling to breath.

“Hold on ok, we’re going to save you I promise!” He whispered stroking a wet streak of hair out of her face.

“ABSOLUTELY NOT!” Sophie said as she put away clean shot glasses.

“Come on Sophie We’re just asking you to check out what kind of magic is used” Marcel said sternly.”Besides I wasn’t really asking”

“And what will you do if I refuse? Murder me like you did Jane-anne? I don’t care anymore” Sophie bantered back.

“There are worse things we could do to you then murder you Miss Deveraux” Elijah suggested darkly.

“Yeah well try your best shot because I’d rather die a hundred tortures then help an Original...so either get on with it or get the hell out of my bar” Sophie gestured them out.

“Come on” Marcel pulled Elijah out by his arm back to the streets.

“Well that went splendidly, are you going to explain this or Niklaus then?” Elijah said sarcastically.

“I have a backup plan, go back to the house i’ll meet you there” Marcel grabbed his phone.

“And what might that be?” Elijah inquired looking at Marcel suspiciously.

“Look I can help you, but to do that i’m going to need you to trust me and let me do what I need to do ok so you go back to the house and i’ll be back in an hour…” Marcel said annoyed typing in the digits on his phone.

“You have 30 minutes” Elijah said sternly before vamping off.

As soon as Elijah was out of side Marcel pressed the call button listenin to the ringing until there was an answer on the other side.

“Hello?” The voice on the other side picked up the phone.

“Hey it’s me , i’m stopping by I need a favor” Marcel said before hanging up again keeping the conversation short.

“If Sophie Deveraux didn’t want to do it why do you think I would?! I thought you said this Klaus guy was like the ultimate bad guy” Davina asked surprised sitting at the end of her bed looking at a pacing Marcel.

“Because D. she’s a young girl around your age….and she looked genuinely scared like you were” Marcel tried to persuade her hoping that if he could help her relate to the young girl she might give into helping them.

“What makes you think I can even help? I don’t know that kind of magic!” Davina protested.

“I believe in you ok, you’re more powerful than you think… “ Marcel looked at her hopefully with a smile.

“It would mean I’d have to come out of hiding, the witches would sense my magic and they’d know i’m alive and come to find me” Davina doubted getting up from her bed to the window of the attic looking out of it over the city.

“True, but the Original family would owe you a favor for helping them, and they could protect you...they could help you with your magic much better than I ever could.” Marcel explained putting a hand on her shoulder.

“I don’t know Marcel” Davina sighed turning around and looking at him.

“Look D.” Marcel put his other hand on her other shoulder holding her in a tight grasp. “If i thought you would be in any kind of danger i wouldn’t ask…Think about it, you’d be free to walk around the city again under the protection of every vampire in the city….free to leave this attic... I’m not asking you to trust them...i’m asking you to trust me. ”

“Alright, I guess I could give it a shot” Davina smiled convinced.

“That’s my girl” Marcel put his arm around her as they both walked out of the attic for the first time in a very long while.

Although the bed was comfortable and luxurious Caroline couldn’t seem to relax. The pain had taken over her body again agonising her to the point where she was going insane. She had crawled up into a little ball in the bed panting hard. Her hands crossed over holding her arms like she was trying to keep herself together literally. Rocking back and forth. Her nails were digging into her own skin scratching it till the point of bleeding, healing over in a second only to be cut right open again.

“What is taking Marcel so long!” Klaus paced through the room. He couldn’t stand seeing her like this and not being able to do anything about it.

“He said to trust him Niklaus” Elijah tried to reason with his younger restless brother “patience”

“WE DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR PATIENCE!”Klaus shouted angrily.

Caroline shot up again with a bone chilling scream the fire in her head taking over again making her gasp for air harshly leading her to gag up her empty stomach again.Klaus quickly sat next to her holding her hand and caressing her back trying to sooth her. His eyes shot meaningfully to Elijah. He could hear her sob now lightly under her pain. Breaking from exhaustion.It was the last straw.

“I’m going after him it’s taking too long!” Klaus said stubbornly trying to get up from the bed.

Her hand weakly held on too his shirt trying to keep him from leaving.

“Klaus….please don’t leave me” She uttered nearly inaudible. “I’m really scared”

Another cough escaped her lips before her body relaxed slightly again after the painful attack. Klaus bit his lip looking from her to Elijah. He was torn. He wanted to save her so badly but she had never begged him to stay by her side before and she looked so fragile lying there.

“I’ll go” Elijah said silently nodding at Klaus before he left the room again closing the door behind him.

Klaus sighed as he sat on the bed again next to her. She looked at him with teary eyes full of fright and agony. Kicking off his shoes Klaus laid himself next to her on the bed with his back against the headboard watching over her.

“Am I gonna die?” She suddenly whispered tears streaming down her face.

Her question took him by surprise, she was always so full of hope and light but now lying here it almost looked like she had given up. He couldn’t even imagine how much pain she must be in if she began to think like that.

“Ofcourse not sweetheart...I will ensure it” Klaus smiled at her pulling her into his chest and holding her tight.

She seemed to relax as he held her, her breathing calming down and the uncontrollable shaking reduced to a soft quiver. He could hear her softly falling to sleep.

When Davina Claire arrived in the compound she shivered slightly. There was a dark aura about this place. She could sense it. She hadn’t quite grasped the full possibilities of her new power yet but magic had definitely touched this place. Marcel and the original named Elijah guided her to the upstairs where she would fine the girl Marcel had wanted her to help. She was glad her guardian was with her because even though the man named Elijah seemed very polite and gentlemen-like he creeped her out. She could feel there was blood on his hands. And lots of it.

Though the sense she got from him was nothing compared to the aura that had hit her when she entered the room and found the original hybrid sitting next to the bed watching over a beautiful young blonde girl like a hawk. She had to take a minute to regain her composure reluctant to show any sign of weakness. The girl however exhumed no darkness at all. She was surrounded by light. She was pure good that was simply surrounded by evil. Davina wondered why she would be in such company.

“Who’s this” Klaus barked at Marcel waving his hand to Davina.

“My name is Davina Claire and i’m here to help you” Davina said bravely straightening her back. She had once learned that when face to face with an aggressive animal the best thing to do was to make yourself as big and intimidating as you could. Not easy when you were so small as she was.

“I asked for Sophie Devereaux, and elder witch, not the weekend student help” Klaus said sarcastically.

“Davina is no ordinary witch, she’s the last standing Harvest girl, I saved her before the ritual was completed. She has all the power of her coven now.” Marcel shot back stepping next to Davina.

“Why haven’t we heard of her then?” Elijah asked surprised studying Davina more carefully now.

“Because her coven is looking to kill her to complete the ritual. She’s been under my protection. Which leads me to our demand, if she does this… you vow to protect her as well” Marcel negotiated.

“And why would I agree to that...i’m trying to keep the witches in check, i could just tell her to help or i’ll deliver her to her coven for her death sentence” Klaus threatened he didn’t like meeting other people’s demands.

“Look do you want my help or not, because the way I see it is she doesn’t have a hell of alot of time left” Davina interrupted the two men’s pissing match.

Klaus seemed to take her words into deliberation for a second weighing his options. Caroline was getting worse, fast!

“Yes fine, if you succeed I promise you no harm will to come to you by the witches.” Klaus agreed holding out his hand to seal the agreement with her.

Davina walked past him ignoring his invitation for the handshake. She held her hands out above Caroline’s body whispering in an unknown language. A wind formed in the room circling like a small storm located in this part of the house alone. The lights began to flicked and a dark grey mist formed around the two girls. Objects started to fly around as the room began to shake and Davina started chanting louder. Blood softly dripping from her nose.

“D!” Marcel shouted trying to stop her but he was stopped in his tracks by Elijah.

“Let me go man! She’s killing herself” Marcel shouted trying to fend Elijah off.

“This is very dark magic, if you pull her out now all three of you will die” Elijah explained to him.

The words had just been spoken when the entire room came to the halt. All flying objects falling and shattering of the floor. Marcel was just able to catch Davina before she fell backwards panting hard from exhaustion.

“You ok?” Marcel asked her looking to see if she was hurt in anyway.

Davina nodded before standing up again. “She’s been cursed..”

“Well then uncurse her!” Klaus yelled annoyed!

“It’s not that simple, I’ve never seen this magic before I only heard of it when I was very young. It was banned long before I was born. A dark magic used in ancient times to rid the world off vampires. Set the balance of nature back. Her body had been hexed to repel vampirism, that’s why she’s throwing up blood. It forces her to dessicate. But this kind of magic needs a tangible totum in this world to draw its power from , find it destroy it and she’ll live.” Davina explained.

“That could be anything anywhere she doesn’t have that time!!!” Klaus sighed frustrated rubbing his temples.

“Magic like that always leaves a trace, I should be able to track it if I have a starting point, some kind of lead”Davina went on turning to Marcel ignoring Klaus completely.

“Start with Mystic Falls in Virginia, she has a bennett witch friend there, i’m sure she can help” Klaus sighed giving her Bonnie Bennett’s number from his phone on a piece of paper.

“I’ll get right on it… in the meantime i suggest getting her on an IV drip of blood, that way it’s forced directly into her system and she can’t regurgitate it.” Davina nodded taking the phone number from his hands and following Marcel out of the door.

“Compel a nurse to set up a station for her” Klaus looked at Elijah gritting his teeth. This was taking too long!

In the hours that followed Klaus had been able to turn the bedroom into a fully functioning hospital room with an IV drip in the inside of her elbow and heart monitor attached to one of her fingers. Caroline at this time was falling in and out of consciousness and her body temperature was rising rapidly. The more she deteriorated the more Klaus became on edge. Worried creases forming permanently on his forehead. He never left her side just like she had asked him too which was difficult for him because he severely disliked sitting around and doing nothing. He felt useless in protecting her this way. He remembered the last time they had spoken to each other like it was yesterday.

3 months ago

Klaus watched her clean up the various caps and gowns as he walked up to her. His dear sweet full of light Caroline, always cleaning up the messes of other people even literally. While the other members of her superhero god squad were off celebrating or brooding or whatever it was they did to fill their days, Caroline chose to process the day's events while cleaning. Lucky for him, because this would mean she was alone and he could say to her what he had prepared in his head for days now upon receiving her graduation notice. She must have heard his footsteps or sensed his presents because as soon as he got close she turned around. Smiling slightly as if she was actually happy to see him. With these circumstances she probably was although he hoped that maybe it wasn’t just because they needed his blood, that maybe it was also just for him. Maybe this amazing blonde goddess actually deemed him worthy of being her friend. He had chuckled when receiving her millionth voicemail where she told him now was not the time to decide he was over her. How could she possible ever think he would be over her. She was impossible to get over.

“How did you get here so fast?” She asked tilting her head slightly.

‘I was already on my way” Klaus explained trying not to let his excitement get the best of him “I received your graduation announcement… It was very subtle”

The slightly embarrassed giggle that came out of her warmed his heart.

“I assume you’re expecting cash?” He teased her putting the announcement back into his pocket.

“That… Or a mini fridge” Caroline joked back.

“Well I had considered to offer you a first class ticket to join me in New Orleans, but I knew what your answer would be” Klaus smiled slightly sad looking disappointed because they both knew he was right. The look in her eyes confirmed that.

“So I opted for something I knew you would accept” He went on suddenly looking at her very seriously. “Tyler is now free to return to Mystic Falls”

She looked at him in shock like she couldn’t believe this was happening and would wake up any time soon.

“What?” She breathed looking at him like he had just given her a unicorn.

“He’s your first love” Klaus explained a rare warm smile gracing his features “I intend to be your last… However long it takes”

He moved in quickly to kiss her cheek softly and for a moment he was sure she wanted him to kiss her, to seal this utterly selfless and romantic gesture he had just done for her with their lips softly grazing over eachother. She was truly happy at this moment and that was the most important thing. To give her this moment of utter happiness and to be the one who caused her to feel this way. It was worth it to push past his pride for this one occasion.

“Congratulations Caroline” He whispered softly into her ear. He meant it. After all the misery and drama she went through she had made it. She had managed to graduate and hold on to that last speck of her human life.

He could tell she was moved, nearly in tears by the emotion of the situation.

“Now let’s get out of here before twelve angry hybrids decide to pick a fight” Klaus joked offering her his arm as they walked away from the football field.

They had talked for a while about what her plans were for college and what courses she would take. What her plans were for summer and he even tried to convince her that maybe she should try and visit New Orleans for spring break. She had dismissed the invitation again as he knew she would. Nevertheless he turned to her took her hand into his and looked at her deeply.

“I’m being serious Caroline, I can no longer protect you and that makes me more uncomfortable than I care to admit so I have something else for you” He whispered taking a vile out of the inside pocket of his vest.

“This contains my blood, I want you to keep it on you at all times. You were lucky this time that I was already on my way, if somebody bites you while I am in New Orleans I will not be here on time to save you so consider this my insurance policy, should you need to use it you simple call me up and i will send you a replacement” Klaus told her rubbing the back of her hand with this thumb and never losing her gaze.

“Klaus..I” Caroline whispered taking a hold of the vile. It was so clear how much he loved her.

“However it comes with a promise” Klaus explained swallowing hard due to the tension between them.

“Yeah sure” Caroline whispered.

“Should you find yourself in any kind of trouble whatever it may be… Promise me you will come to me straight away…. Do not rely on others to protect you ….trust me to always keep you safe… “

She moved into him and for a moment Klaus thought that maybe this time she would actually kiss him. He nearly closed his eyes in anticipation of her lips when she wrapped her arms around him tightly pressing her face in his neck and embracing him.

“I promise” She whispered nearly silently not letting go.

He wrapped his arms around her as well hugging her back and smelling her hair. She smelled like Jasmine and vanilla. He could feel her breathing against his chest and hear the slightly faster beating of her heart. She was soft to his touch and warm. It mesmerized him so that he had uttered the words before he had even realised it.

“I love you Caroline”

She released him cupping his cheek with her hand tilting her head slightly and giving him a sad smile.

“I know you do”

Present

Klaus was awakened from his memory by the ringing of his phone. He shook his head slightly to regain some of his composure as he picked his phone from his jeans looking at the caller on the screen. It was a number he didn’t recognize. Realising it could be Davina with an update he answered on the second ring.

“Hello?”

“Is it true? Is she with you is she safe?” The voice of Sheriff Elizabeth Forbes asked worriedly on the other side of the line.

“She came to me for help yes…” Klaus said calmly recognizing the voice.

“Is she ok? Can I talk to her” Liz begged nearly in tears.

“She’s resting right now Sheriff, i’ll have her call you when she wakes up “ Klaus said hoping to end the conversation quickly.

“If you hurt her..”Liz started to threaten.

“Rest assure that no harm will come to your daughter as long as she is in my care, I am just as invested in her well being as you are you have my word” Klaus cut her off annoyed.

“Alright… I trust you to save her” Liz warned him.

“I will protect her with my life” Klaus agreed before hanging up and ending the conversation.

Caroline didn’t wake up for nearly twelve hours after having received the 4th bloodbag in a row. The bags seemed to keep her a little more at ease, it relieved her of the horrible pains for the most part dulling it down to a soft ache and it helped with the shivering. But she was getting weaker he could tell that time was running out. She had called her mother just like Klaus had promised when she awoke in the middle of the night and he could tell she was trying to be brave and make light of the situation as to not worry her mother to much. But he knew how scared she was, he wasn’t quite sure if she had been hallucinating when she asked him to stay by her side because she was scared, but he knew her well enough now to know she was terrified even if she tried to hide it.

When she hung up the phone he had explained to her that the witch had sensed dark magic on her and that they were out trying to find and destroy the totem. He explained to her that the IV drips helped keep her somewhat fed and functioning when her body was repelling the blood.

“Thank you for saving me” Caroline eventually said able to slightly sit up from from the bed.

“Thank you for keeping your promise” Klaus replied giving her a weak smile. “So I hear you and Tyler broke up?” he said a little to cheerfully.

Caroline had to chuckle slightly at his enthusiasm making her cough painfully. “Not now Klaus” She waved away his flirtations.

They talked for a while longer. Klaus tried to distract her mind for the pain and situation she was in by inquiring about her new life, in college. The classes she was taking and her professors. How her friends had been faring with him gone ...All the while avoiding the matter or her recently obtained single status. Eventually she had grown tired and fell asleep again. The sun was setting in New Orleans it had been little over 24 hours now since she had arrived. But Klaus had not spend a minute away from her. As he was watching her his eyes fell weary and he very slowly drifted into sleep.

“I’m picking up on something here...we’re definitely getting closer” Davina said as she softly stood in the middle of an open spot of the woods.

She was holding on to the hand of the Bennett witch they had met up with about an hour earlier channeling her powers to get the best reading. She had never met a Bennett witch before but she had heard of them. Several witches in New Orleans spoke badly of them because of their generations long affiliation with Vampires. But Davina had never judged about things like that, after all she befriended a few herself. Josh, Marcel… they had meant more to her in the last year then most of her family had in her entire lifetime.

Behind them were Marcel and Elijah who had come along for muscle power after all they had no clue what to expect once they had found the totum. The two men kept their distance leaving the girls to focus on the task at hand.

“Elijah can I ask you something?” Marcel asked when they had been waiting for over 15 minutes.

“Go ahead” Elijah nodded breaking a twig from a tree and twirling it between his fingers.

“What did you mean when you said his salvation?” Marcel asked curiously, he had been wondering what Elijah meant by that and why klaus seemed to be so uncharacteristically caring towards the girl.

“You know as well as I do that throughout the centuries I have fought for Niklaus’ humanity. To make him care for something other than himself whether that be family or mentoring you. But everytime I think we get close he’s proved me wrong by doing something to push all of us away….” Elijah started explaining the story.

“Yes I know that, it still doesn’t explain the girl” Marcel cut in, anxious to hear more about this mysterious girl.

“I’m getting to that now… You see about a year and a half ago Niklaus and I were in Mystic falls on a quest to find an alleged cure for vampirism. Miss Forbes who you have met earlier today was a new vampire turned by Katherina Petrova to be killed as a sacrifice in the ritual that would turn Niklaus into a hybrid. However young miss Forbes seems to have a knack for surviving even in the most dire of situations. This was also the case when she was bitten by her wolf boyfriend. In the end Niklaus came to her rescue because for the first time in his life he pitied someone, I think he must have thought her to be very beautiful” Elijah went on.

“Well she’s pretty i’ll give him that even when near death you could see she’s pretty” Marcel agreed.

“After he had fed her his blood, he changed. He always kept an eye out for her. Protected her but he also craved her attention. At first I think it was because she blatantly rejected him over and over. Niklaus always wanted what he could not have. But then it became more. You see Miss Forbes is everything we are not to him. She is loyal and full of light and she was always honest with him even when he did not want to hear the truth. She challenged him both openly and personally. She dared him to be better. She saw more to him I believe.... “

“Are you saying… He fell in love?” Marcel said in disbelief.

“With my brother there is never a guarantee, but in my opinion...yes he fell in love, for the first time since we were human I believe he fell in love, and it is in that love that I hope his salvation lies” Elijah ended the story.

“She must be one special girl” Marcel thought out loud thinking he never saw his mentor to be capable of such a thing.

“That she is” Elijah agreed.

“I hate to break up this little bromance, but Davina seems to think she discovered the location of the totum. So if you could break up your little moment i’d like to go and save my best friend” Bonnie interrupted the conversation.

“Very well Miss Bennett lead the way” Elijah nodded gesturing his hand for her to guide them.

As the night progressed Caroline got worse. Her system was now severely rejecting any form of blood and the heart monitor was only barely registering a heartbeat. Every time it took the monitor a little too long to peep Klaus would feel a panicky jolt going through his chest like an electrical shock. He had barely fallen asleep for an hour or two but was more awake than ever. The call from Mystic falls had awoken him. Elijah had said they found the location of the hexed totem and they were now on their way to destroy it. He just needed her to hold on a little longer. She was shivering uncontrollably again slipping in and out of consciousness. She had also definitely started hallucinating. They had a few hours left to save her at most. The hallucinations had been the worst part. Klaus had to watch helplessly as she relived every horrible memory from her past. It surprised klaus that for somebody who was so pure and light she had been through so much in her short lifespan.

First had come the memories of Damon biting her and trying to kill her. She had screamed in fear mistaking him for that sorry excuse of a vampire. It had taken him nearly twenty minutes to calm her down making her realise where she was and by that time she had weakened herself severely. The next hallucination was one of her father torturing her trying to condition her to not need blood anymore. She was just barely awake for that so Klaus thought it might have just been a bad dream. Nevertheless he crawled back into bed with her holding her and trying to sooth her through the worst of it.

The last hallucination was the one she was experiencing now. It was calmer but equally as horrible. She was crying. Heartbreaking sobs against his chest and he had no clue why. She whimpered something from time to time but she was too weak for it to be understandable. His shirt wet from her tears he tried to reach her, but the empty gaze in her eyes told him she was gone. Lost in whatever the hallucination showed her. In the end she kept repeating the same sentence as a whisper over and over again. And when he finally realised what she was whispering his heart seemed to break into a million pieces.

“Why did you leave me, Klaus?”

“Caroline?” He said in a shaky breath trying to get through to her. “Caroline i’m here….I didn’t leave look at me love….I’m here”

Her eyes became slightly more focussed when he spoke to her again, telling him she was out of whatever hallucination she was experiencing for now. But her skin had started to turn slightly grey and Klaus realised they might have even less time than he thought.

“Klaus?” she whispered looking up into his eyes slightly wondering why she was lying in his embrace on a bed.

“I’m here love…” Klaus smiled back.

She coughed , little spats of blood staining his shirt. He didn’t mind.

“I’m so tired” Caroline complained trying to keep the fog out of her head.

“I know love, I know but i need you to hold on for a little while longer....”

“I can’t anymore” tears rolled down her eyes.

“Don’t say that” Klaus said angrily he wasn’t going to let her give up. Not now that they were so close.

“Klaus I-” Caroline started to speak shakingly.

“NO! Caroline no! I won’t let you give up’ He started to raise his voice.

“Listen to me…” Caroline begged silently.” I need to tell you’

“Tell me what sweetheart?” he asked confused not knowing what she was talking about.

“I’m sorry…”

“Sorry for what , you have nothing to be sorry about I told you if you were ever in trou-” Klaus interrupted her again.

“I’m sorry for never telling you….”She coughed again “How I felt about you..”

Klaus smiled softly at her as she tried to keep speaking. “You’re hallucinating love”

“No i’m not” She went on determinedly. “ I need you to know I was just scared of admitting it and I need to tell you now before it’s too late “

Klaus kept her close to him trying to calm down her tensing body.

“You can tell me later love, when you’re better”

“No I need to tell you now” Caroline sobbed before placing a hand on his cheek and softly pulling him towards her. Slowly her broken cracked lips met his brushing against him with the softest kiss he could ever imagine. And in that kiss he felt more of her then she could ever express in words.

When they parted after what seemed like ages but could’ve only been a couple of seconds her body started going limb and the heart monitor started beeping like crazy. Klaus’ eyes widened as he realised she was dying.

“CAROLINE!!!” He screamed thinking that this way not the way things were supposed to go for them. “CAROLINE!!” He shook her hard forcing her eyes to stay open.

It was then that a thought came to him. The last possible resort he could possibly imagine.

“Caroline look at me…. Are you on vervain?....... Are you on vervain love answer me?!!!” He yelled at her.

Panting weakly her head shook only just for no.

“Look at me…. You can’t die on me! Do you hear me! I forbid you to die!!” he looked into her eyes deeply and saw her pupils dilating. He prayed for it to work.

“This is it” Davina whispered as the foursome halted at an empty space at the edge of the woods.

“I don’t think this is right D, there’s nothing here” Marcel said looking around to see if maybe there was some freshly covered dirt that indicated something was buried.

“Hold on”Bonnie closed her eyes trying to sense something. She raised her hands up before her chest whispering something in Latin.

As by smoke a small Cabin appeared out of thin air. It was a small old thing. Looking like nobody had lived in it for over a decade. It’s windows were shattered and the wood had a mossy green color from bad maintenance. Looking at each other the four of them carefully checked to see if the door was open. It swung open at the touch indicating there was definitely magic around. As the boys tried to step over the threshold there were stopped by an invisible force field indicating that they had to be invited in.

“Well that’s an inconvenience” Elijah sighed banging on the invisible wall that kept him out.

“We’ll go check it out you guys wait here” Bonnie said stepping over the threshold.

Marcel stopped Davina grabbing her by her arm. “Be careful” He whispered meaningfully.

The girl simply nodded as she followed the other witch inside.

Inside it looked no better than the outside. It smelled horrible like there was something rotting and the single room looked like somebody had come in and trashed the place with a baseball bat.

“Hello?!” Bonnie yelled into the darkness grabbing the flashlight she had conveniently packed into her bag and turning it on. There was no response.

“Nobody’s here’ She whispered as they checked the space.

“Yes there is… I can sense it” Davina frowned her brow.

“Let’s just look for the totem” Bonnie said nervously starting to rummage through the place.

“You will never find it” A deep hollow voice whispered eerily from the darkness.

“Who’s there… show yourself?!” Davina yelled.

A figure emerged from the darkness stepping into the little light that shone through one of the cracked windows. An old woman who looked like she was at least a hundred years old appeared. She was small and her silver white hair hung braided over her shoulder. She hunched a little and needed a cane to walk. It was her eyes that freaked the girls out the most, pitch black with no iris’ or whites in them. They were hard against her wrinkled translucent skin creating a nearly demonic look.

��Who are you!” Bonnie asked taking a step back creating a bit more distance between her and the old crone.

“It does not matter who I am...you girls need to leave here… now!” The woman said in the same unnatural voice.

“Not without what we came for” Davina joined next to Bonnie.

“It is no use… I have seen the future and you are too late… As we speak the saviour is dying” The woman stepped closer.

“Look I don’t know what kind of creepy ass scientology shit you’re into lady but I’m here to save my best friend so give me that totem!” Bonnie said angrily to the old woman she had feared they were running out of time and she was stalling.

The woman reached into her blouse revealing a big silver amulet glowing blue through the cabin and dimly lighting the place. “As soon as this stops glowing your friend will be dead, and our future’s as witches will be ensured. With her death we will live!”

“What are you talking about Caroline wouldn’t hurt a fly!” Bonnie yelled back at the old woman. Clearly she had the wrong person.

“No, but the hybrid wouldl...When he rises to power he will unite the factions of all species leaving no room for us ancient practitioners....Vampires are already stopping our rituals and sacrifices...meddling in affairs they have no business in...you are the living proof of that miss Clare”

“What does that have to do with Caroline?!” Bonnie asked confused keeping her eye on the ever fading amulet.

“It is foretold that she will be the one to save him and his humanity. To inspire him to unite the factions. Inspired by her love for him he will find his power. So in removing his salvation he will turn to darkness and fall into the hands of his enemies” The woman explained.

“But peace between the factions is a good thing! We would all live together and be stronger for it!....the old covens are dying because of their inability to see this….” Davina rebutted in disbelief.

“Witches used to rule this earth….and it is their destiny to rule it again...to rule over these anomalies of nature that walk among us!....and now you are to late to stop us” The crone laughed wickedly.

When she spoke her last words the crone started chanting and the amulet started vibrating heavily along with the rest of the cabin. The two girls nearly fell off their feet trying hard not to fall over.

“What is she doing?!” Bonnie screamed through the noise of clattering junk falling to the floor.

“She’s tapping into the power of the amulet Bonnie take my hand now!” Davina yelled loudly.

“What are you going to do” Bonnie asked over the noise grabbing Davina’s hand.

‘I’m going to try and tap into the power of the ancestors to stop her but I can’t do it alone, I need your lineage too so hold on!!” Davina started chanting as well.

As soon as Bonnie started following her chant she could feel a surge of power coursing through her body. She could feel the essence of her ancestors around her harvesting so much power inside of her she felt like she was going to explode. She looked over at Davina who was still chanting in all her might. Blood pouring from her eyes , ears and nose. The spell was killing her but she kept on going.

When the air became too thick with power there was a giant explosion sending both girls off their feet into the ground and obliterating the cabin all together. The next thing she knew Bonnie was on the ground panting hard as burning debris fell in every direction. A loud ringing in her ears disorienting her. She tried to sit up and take in her surroundings, the old crone was nowhere to be found but a few feet away from her Davina was lying motionless to the ground in her own blood.

“Davina!!” She could hear Marcel screaming as he ran towards the girl’s lifeless body he cradled her into his arms biting into his wrist letting drops of his blood fall into her mouth.

“Come on! Come on wake up” He screamed at her in a panic.

There was a moment of complete silence where Bonnie feared the absolute worst for the girl before she jolted up breathing in deeply.

“Thank god…” Marcel cried out hugging the girl close to his body. “You’re ok...you’re ok” He whispered soothingly.

“The Amulet!” Bonnie came back to her senses looking around to find it.

“Destroyed” Elijah joined them holding the now in three pieces broken amulet in his hand.”We have to bury the pieces in separate locations to keep them from rejoining but you did it!”

“Give me your phone!” Bonnie shouted to Elijah who took it out of his jacket and tossed it to Bonnie.

Bonnie hurried through the contacts clicking on Klaus’ name. He answered on the first ring.

“Klaus! We destroyed the Amulet….where’s Caroline were we on time?!” She asked rapidly.

“Listen for yourself” Klaus’ voice said softly on the other end of the phone.

There was a slight rustle on the other end of the phone and then another familiar voice spoke.

“Bon?” The voice of Caroline asked sounding much stronger than the last time they had spoke.

“Care thank god!” Bonnie cried laughing through her tears. “Are you ok?!”

“Yeah… a little shaky on my feet but i’m getting there… are you?” Caroline asked also sobbing.

“Yeah we’re all fine….” Bonnie laughed.

About two days later Caroline was sitting on the edge of the curb in front of the compound in New Orleans waiting for Elijah, Marcel, Davina and Bonnie to arrive. Though Klaus was sitting right next to her they had barely spoken since she had been cured from the hex. Bonnie had said she would come and find her once they had rested up a bit from the battle. The clouds were dark and grey announcing a thunderstorm would cross over the city of New Orleans any second now but she didn’t care. She was to excited to see her best friend. And as the black SUV turned around the corner she jumped up in excitement. The two girls hugged excessively the second they saw eachother both of them glad the other one was ok.

Caroline then went over to Elijah and Marcel to thank them both for the part they played in her rescuing. When she walked up to the other girl Caroline couldn’t help but hug her also.

“Thank you!” She whispered as she embraced the girl tightly.

“You’re very welcome…” Davina smiled awkwardly.

“No really… you don’t know me yet you risked your life for me.. Not that i’m ungrateful but why?” Caroline asked her seriously.

“Because I also believe in a world where the species can live together in peace… and i highly hope you can contribute to that” Davina squeezed Caroline’s shoulder before walking into the compound with Marcel. The rain now slightly dripping on her shoulders.

“What did she mean by that?” Caroline turned to Bonnie and Klaus as al three of them also walked inside.

“Care we need to talk about something.. “ Bonnie took her best friend by her hand and sat her down in a private corner of the courtyard. “You might want to hear this too Klaus”

“That old woman that hexed you….it wasn’t a random act” Bonnie sighed looking at her feet.

“What do you mean ? What did I do wrong?” Caroline asked surprised at this revelation.

“Nothing...yet…. I mean you’re not going to do anything wrong the way I see it...but other people might see it that way….” Bonnie started rambling.

“Bon you’re not making any sense and you’re scaring me” Caroline looked from Bonnie to Klaus for an explanation he looked just as confused and worried as she did.

“What do you mean?” Klaus asked looking at Bonnie intently.

“The crone was a sort of oracle, she could see into the future… And she made a prophecy that you Klaus will unite the supernatural world under your leadership” Bonnie explained.

“Not that that doesn’t sound bloody brilliant love, but what does that have to do with Caroline” Klaus asked confused.

“Because according to the prophecy it is the love between you too that will inspire you to do so...Without her you can’t…” Bonnie muttered.

“Oh…” Klaus said turning to Caroline with a big smile.

“Wait… Hold on…. You’re saying the fate of the supernatural world is resting on some epic love that there is supposed to be between us…” Caroline started freaking out. She was not prepared for this.

“Yeah…” Bonnie said looking slightly guilty for being the one to tell her this.

“So if I don’t give in to feelings I may or may not have towards the evilest being in the world i’m basically dooming us all” Caroline had the wind knocked out of her. She wasn’t sure how she felt about Klaus yet and this all felt like she was being forced. She felt like she was going to puke again and the walls were closing in on her.

“I need to get out of here!” Caroline whispered running out of the front door into the streets.

It was pouring rain outside and Caroline really wished she hadn’t crashed her car earlier that week because it would make running away from her problems alot easier. She could hear Klaus following her.

“Caroline!” He yelled after her.

But she kept moving the rain soaking her instantly from head to toe. Thunder and lightening rumbling high in the sky.

“CAROLINE STOP!” Klaus yelled as he ran after her.

She could hardly see him through the rain as she turned around. Her hand removing wet hair from her face.

“WHAT?!” She yelled back at him.

“Sweetheart came back inside it’s pouring!!” Klaus urged her.

“NO!! I cant!!!” Caroline yelled back rain falling in streams from her face.

“Why not?! What did I do wrong” Klaus asked her as he caught up with her grabbing her by the shoulders.

“You did nothing wrong Klaus!” Caroline said turning her head away from him.

Klaus grabbed her chin in his hand and turned her head back to him to look into her eyes.

“Then why are you running from me?”

“Because this isn’t how it’s supposed to go!” Caroline shouted over the sound of the rain.

“You’re not making any sense darling how is what not supposed to go?” Klaus asked her looking at her cockeyed.

“US!! I won’t let you break my heart. I”m not settling for being second choice ever again because you taught me not to do so! You made me see that I deserve to be loved for me...so you should want to be with me for me! And not because some witch told us it was going to bring you power” Caroline explained her hand running through her hair again to remove wet strains from her cheeks.

“Caroline listen to me…. I don’t care about all that… I never have with you…. I just want you….I always have...screw everything else” Klaus proclaimed.

“Really?” Caroline asked suddenly alot calmer.

“Ofcourse...haven’t you been paying attention? Everything that you think is good about me is all because of you… Because I want to be better for you...It was always you!.... But If you need me to stand here in a thunderstorm to explain that to you over and over again I will… Because if you would give me the chance to be yours I will stand here for as long as you want me to remind you that you will always come first with me…So what do you say Caroline…” Klaus asked her with a look of total vulnerability in his eyes holding his hand out for her to grasp.

“I say right answer” Caroline mouthed as she grabbed his hand and walked up to him crashing her lips to his, kissing him hard and passionately in the middle of a thunderstorm with rain pouring down on them.
