It was a dark night, as Elijah led his younger brother, Niklaus Mikaelson, towards the New Orleans cemetery to show him something.
A few minutes later, they walked inside an old cave-like thing where a few witches were at.
"What is this?" Klaus questioned.
"We need you to help us take down Marcel," one witch, Sophie, answered him.
"Why would I help you?"
"Because we have something you might be interested in. She and the child will die if you don't help us."
A moment later, Caroline Forbes stepped out of the darkness.
Klaus and Elijah looked at her.
"Klaus," she greeted, one hand on her stomach.
"Caroline," he greeted back.
"She's pregnant with your child," Elijah informed him.
"Impossible. Vampires can't have children," Klaus replied, looking at his elder brother.
"But werewolves can," Sophie reminded him.
"Listen, Klaus," Elijah urged him.
With vampire hearing, Klaus listened and heard a heart beat from within her stomach.
"You were born a werewolf first," Sophie said, implying that his werewolf side had made her pregnant.
"Very well then. I'll help you," he said, not wanting Caroline to die.
"For a precaution, we've linked her to me. If anything happens to me, the same thing will happen to her," Sophie informed him.
"There was no need. You've got what you want," Klaus replied, before he looked at the vampire he so dearly loved. "Come. Let us get out of here."
Caroline walked out of the place without any hesitation or question. She wasn't too fond of these kind of witches, and would rather be at Klaus' place. After all, she knew he would never let anything happen to her. She also knew, even though she didn't want to feel that way towards him, that she was falling for him.
They were silent, as they walked towards where Klaus and Elijah were staying at, neither of them knowing what to say just yet.
Once home and after Elijah walked inside, Klaus opened the door for her, before inviting her in and closing it behind himself. He then walked into the living room as did Caroline, and headed for his drinking table.
As he poured himself a shot glass of Bourbon, he asked her, "Care for a drink?"
"Let me guess. You're new at this. I'm not allowed to drink, me being pregnant and all."
He turned around and took a sip, before looking at her and suggesting, "Why don't you relax, luv."
"Relax!? A witch just threatened to kill me!"
"Well, it's all over now. No one, not even a witch, will harm you as long as I am here to stop it. I care about you, Caroline."
"And I don't care. I don't want to hear it. I thought I had gotten rid of you already. Why do you keep showing up? Get out of my life already!"
"I assure you, I didn't know any of this would happen. Though, I do admit that I haven't stopped thinking about you since I left. May I ask you what you were doing in New Orleans in the first place?"
"I was on vacation from Mystic Falls and everything tied to it after Tyler broke up with me. Happy now? You got what you wanted all along."
"I'm sorry to hear about that. I didn't say I wanted you two to break up when I left. All I want is for you to be happy. If that means being with Tyler Lockwood, then so be it. I'll wait forever if it takes that long. Be careful here, though. There's a war coming between the witches, Marcel, and I. This was my home once and I plan on making it my home again. If you don't want to be involved in it, that's your decision. If you want to stand by me, that's fine with me, too."
"I understand your dilemma, but I can't even look at you right now," she replied, before heading for the door.
"Where are you going?"
"To wrap my head around this. Don't follow me."
He watched, as she closed the door behind herself.
An hour later, she was confronted face to face with a couple guys in the middle of the French Quarter.
"Who the hell are you?" she questioned them.
"Marcel's friends. You're connected to Klaus as much as we've figured out. We can use you," the first one said.
"Marcel doesn't scare me."
"Very well then," the second guy said.
Suddenly, she realized these two were werewolves, which meant that she was in danger. If they bit her and she didn't get cured with Klaus' blood in time, she would most certainly die.
A moment later, they attacked her, which resulted in her having to fight them off.
At the end of the fight, they walked off to Marcel's headquarters, leaving Caroline on her back in pain from the werewolf bites they had given her to get on Klaus' nerves.
A few hours later, Klaus left the house to go find Caroline, worried that she might be in trouble, since he hadn't heard from her yet.
When he arrived in the middle of the French Quarter and saw her on her back, he was instantly on his knees at her side. And as soon as he looked down at her, he saw that she had been bitten more than once or twice and was very close to no longer being in existence.
"Hang on, sweetheart. Stay with me," he pleaded, before gently pulling her into his arms. He then bit his wrist and put it to her lips, making his blood go down her throat to cure her and heal her. And as he did, he looked down upon her, mind racing with plans of what he would do to whoever it was that did this to her.
A few minutes later, he took his wrist away and it instantly healed. He then got to his feet with her in his arms and headed back home.
Once he had her layed down in a bedroom upstairs, he headed into the living room where he poured himself a shot glass of Bourbon.
As he began to drink the shot glass of Bourbon, he vowed to himself that he would find who did this to her and they would go down. She would be okay now, but whoever did this had most likely known that she was connected to him one way or another. He knew this because if he were them, he would do something to her to get to his enemy, too. He would not stand for this, though. He would put his enemy down, because no matter what happened and no matter if Sweet Caroline wanted to hear it or not, he loved and would do anything for her. That is why he had not killed Tyler when he had the chance to. He had done it for Caroline. And now he was going to take the enemy down for her and for himself. He would get revenge on whoever had put Sweet Caroline's life in danger.
In the end, Klaus took out those two werewolves with vengeance. So, everybody lived as happily ever after as they could. After all, Klaus still had to get his kingdom back.
