I own nothing...
Not betaed!
It came in waves all rushing to the surface. Caroline dropped to her knees as the memories came back to her bit by bit.
"The party doesn't start till I arrive," Klaus said smiling and Caroline's breath caught at his smile. It made him look younger and transformed his face. "Follow me."
"Oh really?" Caroline said grinning, "And to do what exactly, what could the Big Bad Wolf want from a servant?"
"I can think of a few things," Klaus said with his wolfish grin and grabbed her by the waist and rolled on top of her.
"Are you afraid of me?" Klaus asked.
"No," Caroline said automatically. "I am not scared of anything."
"Don't worry I won't go telling your deep dark secrets," Caroline assured him. "I like my head on top of my shoulders."
"Klaus liked you Caroline," Katerina said, "If I hadn't of turned you, Klaus would have. He wanted you as his little pet."
"I have something for you," Klaus said reaching past Caroline for a box. He handed it to her and Caroline opened it. Inside was a beautiful diamond bracelet.
"I don't love him," Caroline insisted. "Klaus doesn't love and made sure no one loves him. You know that. He pushes people away. I could have loved him but he never let me."
"Yes," Elijah agreed, "I remember what he did to you."
"How could you?" Caroline asked through her tears, "Why..." Her voice cracked but she went on,
"Every time I try and get close to you, you push me away. Then you just randomly show up whenever you want and expect me to drop everything. And now this...how could you? Are you trying to make me hate you?" .
"Oh, well I'm not," Caroline said, "I thought I made myself clear. I don't want anything to do with you ever again. After I find the daggers I am done."
"My favorite," Klaus said and Caroline narrowed her eyes at him.
"I hate when you call me that," Caroline said.
"Doesn't mean it isn't true," Klaus said.
"I'm sorry," Caroline said putting her hand on his cheek, "I never wanted anyone to die, but we don't always get what we want." Caroline poked his dimple softly. "I'll miss you."
"Yes," Caroline said nodding. "Please, compel me to forget you."
"You are not going to remember me. You will not remember anything I told you. When you wake up tomorrow you will not remember having any prior association with me. You are going to forget how you felt about me, and what you meant to me. You won't know anything about the Originals other than what your brothers tell you. You are going to forget me Caroline."
…...
Caroline knew she was crying. She couldn't believe he had done that for her. Klaus had completely let her go, and he doesn't let people go. After Klaus killed Nathan, Caroline had swore she would never love him. How could she? How could she love someone who killed without a second thought? How could a person like that be capable of love? She was wrong. She had been so wrong. Klaus killed Nathan, but only because he wanted Caroline for himself but was afraid to just tell her. Klaus was never good with words, he was all action. He erased every piece of himself from Caroline's memory and then tried to win her again. Someone would only do all that for another for one reason, love. After all this time Klaus had finally shown Caroline that he loved her.
"Caroline?" Stefan said and looked up at him.
"I...I...have to go," Caroline said and stood up but Stefan put a hand on her arm stopping her. "What?"
"You are a beautiful girl Caroline," Stefan said, "But I would freshen up before going over there and have your epic moment." Caroline stopped in her tracks. She was not a pretty crier and Stefan was right she would want to look perfect when she saw him again.
"Thank you," Caroline said and hugged him, "Thank you for being my brother."
"If he hurts you again there is a white oak stake with his name on it," Stefan said and Caroline laughed.
"If I don't use it on him first," Caroline said and went to her room to get ready.
K&C
"Okay I'm we are here what is the big emergency?" Katherine said entering Caroline's room with Elena right behind her. There were clothes thrown everywhere around the room and Caroline was standing in a fluffy white robe with her hair in a towel.
"I have nothing to wear!" Caroline said, "Nothing!"
"Let me guess you are going over to Klaus's house and want to look your best because you finally got your memories back," Katherine said and Caroline stared at her.
"How..." Caroline started to say but was cut off.
"500 years hon," Katherine interrupted.
"Right, so what do you think?" Caroline said and Katherine smirked.
Sometime later Caroline stood in front of the mirror with Elena and Katherine behind her. They looked exactly the same, but somehow their smiles were different.
"Who knew you were sentimental?" Caroline said and Katherine rolled her eyes.
"Well, wearing the same thing you did that night at the gym when you saw each other for the first time without your memories? It just seemed like a good fit," Katherine said, "Starting over and whatnot."
"Aww..." Caroline and Elena said at the same time.
"Oh shut up," Katherine said, "But something is missing." Katherine left the room and in a flash was back. "Close your eyes and hold out your hand."
"Why?" Caroline asked.
"Just do it," Katherine replied and Caroline closed her eyes and held her hand out. She felt something cold drop into it. "Okay open them."
Caroline opened her eyes and in her hand was her bracelet.
K&C
Caroline stood looking at the door. All she had to do was raise her hand up and knock.
"What are you doing?" Rebekah said coming up and standing next to her.
"I remember," Caroline said not taking her eyes off the door.
"Everything?" Rebekah said shocked.
"Yes, I don't like you very much," Caroline said and Rebekah laughed.
"I know," Rebekah said, "I don't like you too much either."
"He loves me," Caroline said.
"I know," Rebekah said again, "I have always known. Well, I think I am going to go back out."
"Why?" Caroline asked.
"Because I am Original, and if I hear you and my brother shagging I can't be compelled to forget it," Rebekah said and in a flash was gone.
You are over 500 years old. You can do this.
Finally Caroline knocked on the door and Klaus opened it. He smiled upon seeing her and Caroline's undead heart skipped a beat.
"Caroline, what can I do for you?" He asked.
"I wanted to know how it was going with Tatia," Caroline said and Klaus moved aside so she could come in.
"She isn't talking," Klaus said obviously annoyed. "I think Esther might have done a spell to keep her silent."
"What are you going to do with her?" Caroline asked.
"Keep her locked up until we end this," Klaus replied. "Continue the torture until she cracks. I haven't quite decided. It will be painful no matter what." Caroline nodded.
"Stefan showed me something today," Caroline said. "A picture."
"Alright," Klaus said in lack of anything else.
"It was a hand drawn picture of me, and when I touched it things came back in flashes, all at once, it was overwhelming" Caroline told him.
"Things came back?" Klaus said and Caroline nodded again her eyes wet with tears.
"I can't believe you did that for me," Caroline said wiping the tears away.
"I caused you enough pain over the years," Klaus said, "I wanted to do something to acquit myself."
"I forgive you," Caroline said, "For Nathan."
"You do?" Klaus said shocked.
"I loved him, I did," Caroline said, "He was sweet, kind, gentle. Everything you aren't. At the same time, I don't think I have ever felt as strongly for anyone as I feel for you." Caroline walked closer to him, "You have shown me how you feel, but I want you to say it. Please, I just want to hear you say it."
"I have never said that to anyone," Klaus said softly.
"Because no one has ever said it to you," Caroline said just as softly, "I'll start. I love you."
"I...love you." Klaus said and Caroline grinned and launched herself at him wrapping her arms around him. He held her so tightly he lifted her off the ground.
"Take off your pants," Caroline said once she let go.
"Come again?" Klaus said.
"When I said I remember I said I remember everything," Caroline said and started to unbutton her shirt. "I have been sleeping with a puppy for the last couple months. I need a wolf." Klaus grinned once more and pulled her to him and kissed her. She laughed against his lips. When they separated there was a mix of love and lust in their eyes. Klaus lifted her up threw her over his shoulder. Caroline let out a shriek and a giggle and he took her to his room.
Elijah quickly made his way out of the house. He didn't want listen to their reunion either.
50 Years Later...
"Out of my way!" A bossy voice said making her way through the crowded New Orleans bar, "Let me in. Move!" Finally Katherine saw who she was looking for, "There you are!" Caroline was in a booth at the far end of the bar. Klaus had his arm around her and was talking with Elijah and Rebekah. Caroline looked over and grinned. She got up and met Katherine in the middle. The two girls hugged each other tightly.
"I have missed you!" Caroline said.
"Of course you have," Katherine said and Caroline rolled her eyes.
"Excuse me, can I just get though here..." Another voice said, "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to shove you. Excuse me...I need to go..."
"Let my sister through!" Katherine called out and the crowd split allowing Elena to make her way over.
"Elena," Caroline said and hugged her. Sweet, innocent, Elena. She had been a vampire for 5 decades, and still didn't seem to realize she was a all powerful vampire with all powerful friends. She didn't need to apologize to anyone. It was just part of her charm. Besides someone had to balance out Katherine loud personality. The two of them had adopted each other much like Caroline had done with Stefan and Damon. After Elena became a vampire, and Jeremy got killed by a hunter, they got really close. Katherine was the one who had gotten Elena through his death, which they were all thankful for. Elena had been close to switching her humanity off, but Katherine reminded her that she was not alone. The two of them had been practically inseparable ever since, and were known as the Petrova Twins.
"Hi Caroline," Elena said and got shoved into them by someone passing by. She fell into Katherine who glared at the man who had pushed her.
"Watch it!" Katherine yelled.
"What did you say to me?" He said turning around.
"I said watch where you are going," Katherine said, "The only person who pushes Elena around is me."
"Enough," Caroline said in a bored tone, "These are friends of mine."
"I...I didn't know Caroline," The man stammered, "I'm sorry."
"Be on your way," Caroline said and the man disappeared quickly. Caroline looked back at Elena and Katherine who both were looking at her with wide eyes.
"Whoa," Katherine said speaking first, "You really are the Queen."
"Oh God," Caroline said covering her face with her hands, "People don't really call me that, do they?"
"Yes," Elena and Katherine said at the same time.
"Mistress to Queen, what a long way you have come," Katherine said with a grin.
"Come on," Caroline said taking both of their hands, "So how are my brothers doing?"
"Good," Elena told her, "They are getting things settled at your house and went out for a bite. We came straight here."
"Love the hair by the way," Caroline said to Elena, "I really like the red highlights."
"Thanks, after 50 years I figured it was time for a new hairstyle," Elena said playing with the ends of her hair.
"Camille!" Caroline said to the blond at the bar, "Make my friends some drinks, on the house."
"Sure thing," Camille said and asked what Elena said Katherine wanted. Caroline made her way back over to their booth. She easily slipped back in next to Klaus who once again put his arm around her. Caroline leaned against him and Klaus put his arm tighter around her and she felt him kiss the top of her head. Soon Katherine and Elena joined them and Caroline was now on Klaus's lap rather than next to him. Not too much longer Damon and Stefan arrived and the table got even more crowded. Caroline watched the group laughing and talking with a big smile on her face.
"Something on your mind, love?" Klaus said breaking her out of her trance.
"No, why?" Caroline said.
"You are playing with your bracelet, you do that when you are thinking about something," Klaus said. Caroline looked down at the diamond bracelet on her wrist.
"A habit I can't seem to break," Caroline said running her finger over the diamonds that sparkled in the light.
"Like me?" Klaus said with a grin and Caroline poked one of his dimples.
"Yes, just like you," Caroline said and Klaus gave her a kiss on the cheek before going back to his conversation with Stefan. Caroline continued to look at the bracelet. Her eyes wandered over to the diamond on her left ring finger. She had gotten into the habit of playing with that piece of jewelry too.
The End
…...
Well that is it. What did you think?
Did you like how they all ended up in New Orleans?
I hope you liked reading this! I like writing it. I have a few more ideas for Klaus and Caroline stories so stay tuned!
Thank you to all of my reviewers and everyone who bothered to read it at all. Thank you it really means a lot to me!
…...
If you didn't see the Originals episode STOP READING NOW my ramble will spoil you!
First half of the Originals episode – awesome – through that other story line in there sank the whole damn thing. It looks like a good show. I want to see Klaus get into Marcel's inner circle and see what he is up to. I want to see the interaction and relationship between Elijah, Klaus, and hopefully Rebekah. I want to see those things...
I will watch it to support JM, CH, and DG. It isn't their fault that the writers went with this angle.
Any-who enough of that.
Thank you so much for your support for this story! You are all amazing!
