I hope you enjoy this.

Jeremy didn't die, but Kol did, Silas did trap Stefan but he is out now and Silas is dead. Bonnie is still alive and so are the others. The Haley-baby storyline does exist. Elena has her humanity off in this and she is evil. There will be a Kol, Katherine and Caroline friendship.

Hope you enjoy this and please review :D

(BTW I'm going to update all my other stories by Monday, some tonight and some tomorrow so look out for that.)

The ticking of the clock echoed throughout the house as I slowly crept down the stairs in the dark while my vampire senses adjusted to the surroundings.

Squeak…

The piercing sound came from the kitchen and so did the muffled cries. My racing heart calmed and made my way towards the kitchen trying not to make any sound. I felt the wall for the light switch and flicked it on.

"Took you long enough Carebear…"

"Elena..?" I whispered as I looked upon the scene, my emotionless best friend standing beside and covering the mouth of my mother as she tried to shake her head and struggle out of Elena's grasp. "What the hell are you doing Elena? You're supposed to be at the boarding house" I could see my mother shivering, the woman who had nerves of steel was scared and had tears moving slowly down her cheek.

"Funny thing, Stefan and Damon are sooo naïve, say the right things and they let you go, well, not willingly, I snapped their necks." I edged toward her trying to find an opening so I could get my mother out. "I suggest you stop right there Caroline, you never know when my hand could slip and twist Liz's neck" her voice was cold and hard as if she was taunting me and playing games.

"Don't…why are you doing this?"

"Because, sweet little Carebear…it's fun" she drawled out and I saw an opening and flashed towards her to snap her neck. She released my mom but grabbed the long wooden lamp holder, which I hadn't seen, and rammed it into my stomach as she pushed me into the wall as the wood pierced the plasterboard behind me and left me hanging there.

"Caroline!" I heard my mom scream but Elena grabbed her and gave me a predatorily look as she placed herself behind my mom and let her vampire face slowly come alive. I knew, I knew what she was going to do. I tried to pull myself off the wall but her strength combined with Alaric's training didn't make that possible.

"NO!" Elena's fangs pierced her neck and she started draining her blood whilst looking into my eyes to convey the triumph she felt. I gasped as my mother's eyes closed and she fell to the floor, Elena licked her lips to get rid of the blood but it continued to run down her chin. She slowly made her way toward me as I was frozen. She ran her finger down my cheek, coating me in the blood, my mom's blood and then gave me a sickening kiss on the cheek to leave blood-stained lip impressions on my skin.

"I'd love to stay and chat, but we're going on a little journey, hope you're not claustrophobic. Actually, I hope you are, it'll make this all the more fun." She murmured into my ear and then snapped my neck letting me drop into a black abyss.

My eyes shot open as I felt the cold hard metal against my back and the cool air lapping at my face. I moved my hands and felt the metal as I scratched my nails into it to pull myself up.

"Now, now, Care…you're spoiling all the fun." Elena was stood over me holding the door to what I imagined was a coffin that I was lying in.

"What…?" my voice was hoarse as my eyes tried to adjust to the black sky hovering above me.

"We're going to play a little game, it's called how many times will you die until someone saves you?" her smirk made my skin crawl.

"I don't understand…" she let out a breath and rolled her eyes as if she was bored.

"Always a slow thinker as well as a dumb whore." My eyes narrowed as she smiled to see my reaction. I tried to flash up to her but I noticed my skin burn as I tried to get up. Vervain.

"I wouldn't do that, I've tied you up in vervain soaked ropes of course, makes this much more fun."

"What the hell are you playing at Elena, let me go now!" she cackled like a maniac.

"Remember when Silas trapped Stefan in the coffin in the Falls…well…I wanted to try a little experiment…how long before someone comes to rescue the little clingy blonde bitch. I bet 10 years, maybe more seeing as I'll be playing the goody two shoes and sabotaging the whole game. How does this sound 'Aw, Steffy, didn't Caroline tell you, she's gone to travel the world, she needed a break from Mystic Falls and she told me to tell everyone to not disturb her for a couple of months'." She said in a sickening sweet voice as my eyes widened and tears filled my eyes. She was going to lock me up and let me drown.

"Please Elena, please don't" I plead.

"I love it when you beg Carebear, but I love this game much more, ciao honey." She blows me a kiss and slams the door closed. I close my eyes and scream.

"NOOOO! LET ME OUT!" I can feel the coffin being pushed with me inside it and my body is pushed back into the metal as it falls over the cliff.

SPLASH

I close my eyes but they flash open as ice cold water seeps in and fills the space drowning me. The water runs into my mouth and burns my throat like vervain as it flows into my lungs replacing the air. I hold on for a few seconds in the black when I feel the excruciating numbness as my heart stops and my eyes widen and close…

Caroline gasped as she tried to force clean air into her lungs but instead was welcomed by the water again. There was no air that could replenish her but she had been able to hold on for longer without drowning. Her time had come up to 6 minutes before she would pass out again and fall into the repeated nightmare which had started this. Her mother, Elena, begging Elena to stop, the ice cold water filling her lungs, grasping at the metal walls and scratching at the door with her nails. Time had slowed for her as she tried to concentrate on happier thoughts. But they were eventually marred out by the numbing sensation that was always followed by her heart stopping and falling into darkness over and over again. She tried grasping onto memories to survive and ignore the cold.

Happy memories like the first time she went to the lake house with her parents when they were all together and happy, the time she met Steven and they hung out together, the time her mom had returned early from work and sat with Caroline watching The Notebook and eating ice cream, the times her and Stefan would go hunting, the times Bonnie would become judgmental, the first time Klaus drew her a picture, or the time they went to the pageant together, or the time that he told her she was beautiful or the times when they danced together, or the time he let Tyler go, or the time he told her about the baby.

Flashback

"Hello love" I heard his voice flow melodically into my ears as I turned and smiled at him tilting my head.

"I see you got my invite." He smirked and pulled it out from the inside of his suit jacket.

"Of course, congratulations Caroline." I give him a genuine smile and nod.

"Thanks, it's been really hectic and busy."

"Especially if you're the one who set up the whole thing and do a valedictorian speech." I blush and shake my head as I walk towards him. "It was incredible sweetheart, but I haven't noticed Lockwood around?" I let out a deep sigh as I stop in front of him.

"We broke up." Klaus raised an eyebrow and looked mildly surprised. I look around and see other graduates with their families. "Walk with me?" he holds out his elbow which I put my hand through and we start walking out of the grounds. "When Tyler came back, he told me he had a pack who needed his help and that I should come with him after graduation. But I couldn't, Mystic Falls is still my home and probably will be until people start to notice that I'm not ageing. I'm not ready to leave yet…so I said no. He got angry and blamed me for the problems in our relationship and then we broke up. He's gone, I don't know where and right now I really don't care, I'm living my life, I'm still following human conventions which you hate." I say with a giggle as we walk down the street towards my house.

"I don't hate them, I just don't understand them seeing as I've lived for a 1000 years, but you're still human, you're still supposed to be human so I understand." I nod along to his opinion and begin to understand his perspective of human lives. I can't blame him for thinking like that, he's lived for so long accepting it.

"But there are still some human ways you follow."

"Yes…speaking of…I got you a gift." My eyes widen.

"Money or a mini-fridge?" he chuckles which causes his dimples to show.

"Actually, it's something I'd hope you appreciate even more." He continues to lead me to my house as we reach the front door.

"Well…?"

"Follow me." He takes my hand and leads me to my bedroom. I narrow my eyes at him which he sees and starts laughing.

"Seriously Klaus, if you think that anything's going to happen, then you're sadly mist-" my voice is cut off as I look at the painting standing at the foot of my bed. It's a beautiful landscape of a meadow with a beautiful blue shimmering lake. The daffodils are blooming and the luscious red roses are in the foreground as pink blossoms hang from the trees. "Magnificent…" I say breathlessly as I notice the initials 'NM' in the corner. "You did this." I state moving my fingertips over the scene and feeling the rough and smooth textures of the paint. He coughs behind me nervously.

"Yes, I did…when I was human I used to spend most of my time at the meadow to get away from everyone, only I knew about it and the only other person who experienced the sight was my little brother Henrik…and now you." He murmurs as I turn and throw my arms around his neck and hold him tight.

"Thank you" I whisper into his ear as he puts his arms around my waist and buries his head into my neck and breathes in. I reluctantly let go as he looks at me.

"Caroline…there's something I need to tell you…" he sits me down on my bed and turns to face me. "I did something a few months ago…when I went to New Orleans the first time I found something out." He looked around avoiding my eyes and I could instantly tell he was scared and nervous.

"Klaus…tell me."

"I slept with someone, it was a drunken one night stand and…" I raised my eyebrow perplexed.

"Klaus, if you're about to confess to your conquests I really don't want to hear them." I let out a giggle which soon dies down as he looks at me and I see his eyes start to glisten with water. "Klaus…what happened?"

"The witches there tried to blackmail me and I wasn't going to stand by and just let them so I tried to threaten them. But they brought out the girl and told me that she…she was pregnant…with my child."

"Wow…um…Klaus, you do realise that you're a vampire and vampires can't have children…right?" He nods and holds on tighter to my hands.

"That's what I said but I heard the heartbeat and they proved that I'm the father…" my mouth dropped open and I released his grip on my hands and pulled away.

"What do you want from me….?" I whispered as I looked at him.

"I…nothing…you have a right to know…Caroline, I don't want to be selfish with you, I genuinely care about you. Just because this has happened doesn't mean that I'm giving up on you, I will never give up on you, my feelings are sincere and I hope that one day you give me a chance." I stood up and ran my fingers through my hair and turned to face him as he sat.

"How can you say that, you're going to be a father, there's a child who's going to be depending on you. Wait, how is it even possible anyway?" He breathes out deeply.

"I'm part werewolf and the girl, she's a wolf, somehow that caused nature to have a loophole and a baby was produced" I shake my head in disbelief when a thought hits me. If this happened a few months ago and the girl is a wolf, the only wolf in mystic falls was…Haley. My eyes widen in shock as I look at him and he realises I've figured it out. His eyes plead with mine not to ask him the question but I can't.

"Who is she?" I whisper hoping he won't say her name. He swallows and opens his mouth slightly to whisper

"Haley…" I step away from him.

"That isn't fair…" he stands up and his brow furrows in confusion

"What?"

"It's not fair…you're about to become a father with non-other than the girl who snapped my neck and who my ex cheated with and on top of that, you ask me to accept it and someday give you a chance!" I shake my head and slump down onto the bed. "You're unbelievable…" I whisper as he kneels down and gently tilts my face to look at him.

"She means nothing to me, you are my everything, Caroline, only you." My eyes fill with tears as he gently takes my hand and holds it to over his heart. "When they told me about the child, I thought of you…how I wanted it to be you, you carrying my child." My lip quivers as I turn away from him and look out to sun setting.

"But it's not, it'll never be…" he puts his arms around my waist and pulls me to him as his head rests under my chin and he gently kisses the skin above my heart.

"I'm not letting you go, I can't…" I run my fingers through his curly hair and rest my chin there. "Elijah is the one who thinks that this will be good for the family, but I don't want this. I can't do this. I can't be a father Caroline. I'll ruin the child." I take in a deep breath and suppress the hurt that I'm feeling as I pull his face up to mine and look into his eyes which are holding back tears.

"You can do this, you're Niklaus freaking Mikaelson, the almighty Original Hybrid who doesn't fear anything. Yes it might be difficult to get your head around the baby, but you will love the baby."

"Him.."

"What?"

"The baby is a boy." I let out a smile and giggle.

"I can just imagine a little boy with blonde curly hair and that mischievous smirk running round with a badass leather jacket on." I say wiping away his tears. "You'll love him unconditionally Klaus, he is yours, yes he may unfortunately share his DNA with Haley but let's focus on the bright side shall we. He is your son, the boy who will look up to you when he takes his first steps, when he calls who daddy for the first time, the time he needs you to teach him how to flirt with a girl. He will love you unconditionally like you will. You already care about him, I can see it in your eyes, you're scared you'll hurt him in someone and that makes you already a better father. You never where and never will be anything like Mikael." I say resolutely as he continues to stare up into my eyes.

"I love you…" he whispers as we hold the connection. My eyes widen and my jaw drops.

"What…?" Breathlessly I ask.

"I love you Caroline Forbes…I'm in love with you." My voice gets stuck in my throat and my mind becomes blank.

"I can't…not yet." He eyes widen in return and he lets out a shaky breath and gives me a genuine smile.

"Not yet? So there's still some hope?" I let out a small smile

"I think it's inevitable."

"How?"

"Who can turn down a man with a British accent, a gorgeous smile, adorable dimples and badass necklaces who paints me magnificent art." I tease him.

"Well, well, well Miss Forbes, you have been holding out on me." He smirks as it dies down and we look at each other in silence and put the thought to memory. "Give me a name, a baby name?" I take in a deep breath.

"Henry…short for Henrik." I murmur. His lip quivers and tears start falling again as I hastily wipe them away and he starts laughing.

"You, Caroline Forbes are magnificent, don't let anyone tell you otherwise." We embrace each other in the silence when his phone rings and he lets it go to voicemail. "It's Elijah." I sigh.

"You should go Klaus, they need you know."

"I don't want to" he says sounding like a petulant 5 year old boy with innocent eyes and a pout. Without thinking I place my lips onto his gently and then pull away.

"You should go…" I repeat with a smile. He nods slowly and looks towards the window.

"You know you could try and use the door like a normal person." He smirks at me deviously.

"Now what would the fun in that be?" we laugh and as the sound dies down he leans into my lips and I let myself melt into him for a few seconds as we taste each other. His tongue darts across and my lips part in response to allow him in. It's filled with passion as we move against each other, still holding onto the other. The kiss lowers form passion to slow and intense as the peppermint and honey taste swirls in my mouth. We both gently pull away but still leaving small kisses until we are fully pulled away.

"I love you." He whispers into the silence.

"I'm falling for you." We smile at each other and he gently places a kiss on my forehead and reluctantly pulls away from me as I do the same. He moves towards the window without breaking eye contact. We smile at each other and he flashes out of the house leaving me standing, smiling into the empty room.

The memory dies down as Caroline is plunged back into a dark abyss but this time there isn't emptiness on the other side, she is now standing at the cliff edge of the falls staring down into where she should be lying in the cold hard metal case.

"Hello darling."

"It's nice to see you out and about Forbes." Caroline turns round and sees two people who she thought were dead.

"Kol? Katheriner? But you're dead."

"Yeah…well so are you." Kol says with a cocky smirk.

Yep, he's right, I'm definatly in hell.
