Hello, my lovelies! So, I am finally back with an update and I hope you all enjoy this chapter! We're finally going to find out where it is they are headed... Somewhere warm? Somewhere cold? Stick around and you'll see :)

When the blonde returned to Klaus's home, she spotted a couple of suitcases by the door.

"Have you decided where we are going then?" Caroline asked as he walked into the room with a glass of whiskey in hand.

"I have," he nodded. "All I can say is that we are going someplace cold." He announced, looking as though he was proud of his genius brain.

"Wonderful," Caroline said as she thought about the variety of th bikinis and cocktail dresses she had in the shopping bags.

Fortunately, she shopped for some warmer clothes as well, so she wasn't going to freeze to death…

"When do we leave?" She wondered as the men set down her many bags on the floor.

"Tonight," he shrugged. "I see you had a successful shopping day, love. I simply cannot wait to see you in the clothing that caught your fancy." He added as a wolfish grin appeared on his full and delightful plum colored lips.

"Tonight!?" The blonde cried out. "That won't be enough time for me to pack. You must understand that. Why can't we leave tomorrow?"

"Because I want to leave today. And don't worry, everything is under control." He reassured.

"But…" She started, but he held up a finger.

"Lola, Daisy, please come out here." He called and two young women entered the room.

They looked over at the blonde woman and gave her small smiles before they quickly tiptoed to the various bags littered around the floor.

Grabbing as many bags as they could, they left Klaus and Caroline alone.

When the two were alone, Klaus motioned for Caroline to follow him into the kitchen. He gestured towards the empty chairs and she took a seat still reeling from the fact that they were leaving in only a few short hours.

"I understand that you may be overwhelmed at the moment, but that cannot be helped. It seems whenever an idea presents itself, I must grab ahold of it with all dohaste."

"Well, that explains it then." The blonde responded as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Explains what, love?" Klaus asked as he looked over at her with a curious expression on his face.

"Why you must always have what you want and damn the consequences." Caroline responded matter-of-factly.

"I feel some hostility from you, Caroline. Pray tell what I did this time… I could have sworn we were getting along famously these last few days."

With a scoff, Caroline shrugged before she walked over to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water.

"Want one?" She asked him over her shoulder.

"Certainly, love. Thank you." Klaus said, the surprise evident in his accented voice.

Caroline took out another bottle and tossed it to him and he was just able to catch it before it hit the floor.

Sitting opposite him, Caroline gave herself a silent pep talk and decided it was time for her to act all compliant and quiet, but first…

"I'd like to know how my brothers are doing." Caroline announced and though he was caught off guard by her change in topic, he dared not show it.

"Your brothers are fine, Caroline. You know that the way you act towards me affects them and since thus far I do not have any complaints, they're doing quite well."

"That's good to hear," Caroline confessed. "However, I would like it if you allowed me to see them. I'm not talking about you giving me permission to have a conversation with them or anything of that sort, but I'd like it if I was able to set my eyes on them."

"I'm sure you would, but that simply isn't possible at the moment. You'd best go into the bedroom and get some rest. Otherwise, you'll be exhausted when we get to the hotel we'll be staying at."

"I'll just rest when we get there then." She said under her breath as her hands clenched into fists under the table.

Why couldn't he give her a few minutes to see her brothers? Certainly, they were worried about her wellbeing as much as she was worried about theirs…

"Caroline, I don't mean to sound like a broken record. However, you visiting your brothers is not possible at the moment. I give you my word that if our little getaway goes as I hope it will, you'll be able to see them and then some." He promised as his eyes roamed her face.

He could tell that there was something that she was hiding and he knew that he'd figure it out eventually… All he needed in order to be successful was study her in a new atmosphere. In an atmosphere where she was relaxed… The private property he rented in Vail, Colorado was the perfect place for that.

With that thought in mind, he stood up and excused himself, leaving the woman that he couldn't seem to get out of his head alone.

Enzo made his way into Elijah's office and sat down in a chair that the elder Mikaelson gestured towards.

"Do you have news for me?" Enzo asked, the curiosity evident in his voice.

"There are some news, yes." He responded as he leaned back in the chair. "I told my siblings of the matter that the Salvatore's have found themselves in and they were willing to help. Kol has already taken steps towards introducing himself to Miss Salvatore and she has agreed to help us if necessary. She'll be our eyes and ears on the inside."

"Perfect," Enzo said as a sigh escaped his lips and he visibly relaxed. "Do you suppose we'll have an easy go of this? I do not want Caroline under that man's roof for any longer than necessary, after all."

"I don't know." Elijah said truthfully. "Though Miss Salvatore has promised to be careful, I can't help but have a feeling that Niklaus will find out somehow. He was always a sharp boy as a child and I can only imagine that has matured as he aged."

"Caroline is smart," Enzo reassured. "She'll know what to do."

"Let us hope so, then." Elijah shrugged. "If I get anymore news I will call you immediately."

"Perfect," Enzo said. "I trust you believe it when I say that you will be compensated for this. After all, we'll make sure you become the Mikaelson boss and Damon will be grateful for what you did for his baby sister."

"I don't wish to become the boss, Enzo. All I want is for Klaus to suffer. He made our lives a living hell for simply existing. It's time he's had a taste of his own medicine."

"What do you have in mind?" Enzo asked as he placed his index finger under his chin.

"I cannot say at the moment, but all will be set in place when the time comes."

"That's all I want to hear." Enzo assured before he stood up and excused himself.

Once Elijah was alone, he sat up straighter and thought about the idea brewing in his mind. Wouldn't it be wonderful if his bastard brother fell in love with his mistress only to have her taken away from him in the cruelest of ways? Certainly, the Salvatore brothers would turn away from their younger sister when they found it she's been sharing a bed with their enemy? Certainly they would only be happy to learn of their sister's demise?

"Yes, this is going to turn out wonderfully." Elijah spoke aloud as a smirk appeared on his usually emotionless face. Klaus would have his heart broken and the Salvatore's would be so grateful, they'd form a union with his family. Perhaps one that ended with a marriage between the younger Salvatore and Rebekah.

That night, Klaus and Caroline made their way out of the apartment and into the waiting car. They were settled into a black Cadillac and driven to a private strip of land. As they were escorted to the private jet that Klaus owned, their suitcases were being loaded as well.

"Are you ready for a getaway you'll not be forgetting about anytime soon?" Klaus asked, the excitement evident in his voice.

Seeing this new side of him, the blonde had a distinct feeling that there was more to Niklaus Mikaelson than he let on. What it was, however, remained a mystery…

As they were settling into their seats, a stewardess approached them with a smile on her glossy lips. Her eyes strayed to the handsome man sitting there and she leaned towards him offering a glass of a champagne as well as a look down her crisp white button down shirt.

Klaus didn't disappoint with his obvious appraisal of her breasts and Caroline felt her hands clenching into fists. Why she cared that he was ogling another woman, she didn't know. However, it did bother her and when the stewardess looked to her and offered a glass of champagne, she shook her head.

With a shrug, the stewardess left the duo alone, but not until she threw Klaus another come hither look.

His eyes didn't stray from the swing of the other woman's hips and Caroline found herself growing irritated.

"Perhaps you should follow her and pull her into the restroom. I'm certain that she'd be more than happy to spread her legs for you."

"My, my… Is that a hint of jealously I hear in your voice, sweetheart? Tell me it isn't so!" He cried out dramatically, but his damned smirk never wavered.

Caroline decided to ignore him and turned to the window, but she saw the smile on his lips as he took a drink from the glass of champagne.

She ignored him up until they got into the air, but soon thereafter, he was stroking her fingers gently.

"Stop," she hissed as she tried to pull away from his grip on her hand.

"Can't," he shrugged. "Remember, love… You're my mistress and I can do whatever I want with and to you."

"That isn't true." She shook her head. "And technically, I'm not your mistress. There hasn't been anything between us."

"True enough, but you forget what I told you over a week ago."

"Oh yeah? Where that?" She questioned as she felt her palms grow clammy.

"I told you that I'd be giving you a week to decide if you were ready to have me. It's been longer than that and I find that it is time to bring out my most charming self. You won't be able to resist me, sweetheart. I've been told, I am quite the professional when it comes to seduction."

"Well, you may be a pro in seduction, but I am quite a pro in remaining clear headed. Don't get me wrong, you are quite nice to look at, but that's not enough for me. I won't become your mistress in truth until I am ready and if it is any sooner than that, then you'll be nothing more than the worst kind of monster. If you force yourself on me, remember that I will never, ever forgive you and curse you until my dying day."

"That's quite dramatic for a daughter sired by the great Salvatore mob boss."

"You haven't seen anything yet." She shrugged before she crossed her arms over her chest. "And if you're feeling frustrated, I do think you should find that stewardess from earlier. She'd be more than happy to oblige you, I am sure."

"I don't want her though." He said, his voice growing serious and dangerously low. "I want you and I intend to have you no matter what stands in my way. You may not be ready to give yourself over to the passion that the two of us will share, but you will be soon. Soon you'll be begging me to take you into my bed, and perhaps I'll make you wait as long as you have made me wait."

"Even better," she declared before she undid the seatbelt and moved to a different seat, leaving him to his own devices.

As Klaus watched her go, his stormy blue-gray eyes narrowed into tiny slits. So, his little Caroline wanted to play? Well, then… They were going to play and in the end he would come out the victor in their battle of wills. Soon, she'd be begging him for a touch and he wouldn't grant her that. Oh no… He would make her beg and beg until she couldn't take it anymore and only then would he make her his own.

There you have it, my dears! So, Elijah has a nefarious plan in mind and Klaus and Caroline are officially going to be alone in a private property where it is chilly. Late night cuddles, anybody? Stories by the fire? Let me know what you'd like to see and I'll try and incorporate as many ideas as I can.
