I'll Never Forget You

HUMAN

I couldn't sleep my mind was just a mess. It was hard for me to grasp the fact that I was human again. I was going to grow old and eventually die, I had no powers and no strength. I would have to live my life the best way I knew how to before all the supernatural stuff.

Davina walked in "Caroline I'm so sorry this happened to you, are you ok?"

"No..." I sniffled "I don't know how to tell Klaus, he's going to be so upset and I dont want him taking it out on Stefan or Damon."

"You have to tell him Caroline, he needs to know. If I could help you know I would." She comforted me.

I went and sat on the corner of the bed "I know, can you tell Stefan to come here?"

"Yea ofcourse ." She answered.

She left and shortly after Stefan knocked and entered, he had a look of remorse and guilt all over his face. Stefan always felt things heavier than others and I could tell he was taking this a lot harder than I expected.

"Im so sorry Caroline...." He walked over and sat near me rubbing my back.

"It's not your fault Stefan, this is the last thing I thought Tyler would do to me.

He sighed and looked down playing with his daylight ring "They must have been the ones to drain Katherine of the cure just do this. He will pay Care, all of us will make sure of that." Stefan promised.

"Im not telling Klaus you were there, so you need to act like you weren't. Im just going to tell him I snuck out."

"Caroline no, don't cover for me I can handle it. I should have done something, anything." Stefan was really shaken up, he kissed me on the side of my head and pulled me into him. I felt a vibration and ring , it was his cell, when he took it out of his pocket the screen said Cami.

I smiled slightly " I see you found yourself a mortal also .... I guess Cami and I have a lot more in common now." I sighed

"She's actually a really good girl, smart too." He smiled with a chuckle. It made me feel good inside to see Stefan dating and spending time with someone. Im sure it would help ease the awkwardness with the whole Damon and Elena thing.

I continued to talk with Stefan for a bit but decided it was time to call Klaus. I was shaking with so much anticipation and nerves. I felt sick to my stomach, but I knew he needed to know even if it changed everything.

I dialed his number and he picked up immediately "Hello love."

"Hi....How's the baby?" I said softly fighting back tears.

"Its a challenge to say the least but I'm rather enjoying it." He grinned.

I smiled slightly and stayed quiet.

"What's wrong Caroline?" His voice was growing with worry.

I began to cry a little which caused his emotions to go from zero to gazillion. "Caroline... what is it?"

I wiped my tears and began to speak through the phone "Klaus I don't know how to say this"

"Say what? Tell me Caroline, whatever it is I'll take care of it."

"You cant this time." I replied.

"Tell me love please I cant bare to listen to you like this." He pleaded

I sat down and breathed in deeply "I met with Tyler."

"Why Caroline!!!" He began to get angry.

"He said he had an object that was going to be used to kill you that he stole from Genevieve."

"Nonsense, he's bluffing." Klaus fired back.

"He wanted to talk and I wanted answers so we met up." I continued

"Where's this magical object he so eagerly claims to have? Show it to me when I see you." He said.

"There is no weapon, it was a lie....he ..." I tried not to burst into tears.

"He what Caroline!!!" He shouted over the phone.

"Stop yelling!" I shouted back.

"Stop with the games and tell me."  Klaus's tone was impatient .

"He injected me with the cure that they drained from Katherine. Im human now..." My body went numb after I spoke those final words.

"No... that cant be .... No!" He said hyperventilating. I could hear his screams of rage from the phone. It sounded like he was throwing stuff or breaking things.

"Klaus please listen to me please."

"Tyler Lockwood signed his death certificate, I'm on my way to Mystic Falls now!" He hung up .

I dropped the phone and just sat there, Bonnie and Elena came in to keep me company till Klaus showed up. I could only imagine what Elijah was dealing with when it came to his brothers temper.

Hours later a knock came at the door, I was sitting in the Salvatore living room when Damon went to open the door. Klaus barged in and when he saw me he stopped dead in his tracks. It looked like he had been upset the whole way here, maybe even crying. I stood up slowly as my eyes filled with pools of water. He vamp sped over to me hugging me tightly as I broke down in his arms.  Klaus said nothing, just held me as I silently cried in his neck. It was almost as if he was waiting till I was ready to talk.

He caressed the back of my head kissing the top of it lightly. When I finally let go and stepped back he turned to Damon and Stefan "Where were you! Didn't I say to watch over her!" His temper flaring.

"It's not their fault, I snuck out Klaus, this is all my fault."

He stood there throwing his hands in the air "I have every vampire and werewolf searching for him as we speak, he will be brought to me." He swore.

Elijah just stood there patiently waiting to step in if Klaus got out of hand.

"Can we talk privately please." I told him. We walked upstairs into an open room and sat on the bed.

Klaus just stared off "You know I can't live without you..." He said sadly

"I don't want to think about that Klaus. I just want to enjoy the rest of the life I have left." I took his hand, and looked at him. I think me not being alive for forever anymore was hitting him because he couldn't look at me  and he was trying his hardest to be strong.

"I don't want to wait any longer Caroline," he turned toward me abruptly.

"Longer for what?" I had no idea what he was talking about.

He got up and got down on one knee in front of me taking my hand. "You are without a doubt Caroline the love of my life, forever. You have quieted my demons, have shown me a love that I thought to be unimaginable in my 1,000 years of existence. This heart..." he took my hand to place it on his chest softly, "It beats for you, when your mother came to visit I asked her for her blessing in taking your hand in marriage, she accepted." He took out a box and opened it to unveil this huge beautiful diamond ring. I gasped in shock at the sight of it.

"You are my forever, no matter what ..." as a tear streamed down his face. "Will you marry me Caroline Elizabeth Forbes?"

I stared into his eyes and smiled through the tears "Yes!" And threw myself into him.

He kissed me passionately then placed the ring on my finger. What was seemingly one of the worst days had a surprising turn, reality would set in I'm sure that our forever was going to look different now but I couldn't wait to be Caroline Mikaelson.
