Safe Keeping (Klaroline)

Chapter 2

Klaus

2hrs 13minutes. Caroline is the perfect
Travel companion. However.... she does seem to always have a witty comeback to my compliments. "Caroline, Love, try and enjoy it! We will be in New Orleans soon," I say watching Caroline rather than the road.
"Eye's on the road Romeo," Caroline drawls sarcastically. I can't help but smile. "Tell me, how long do I have to stay with you, I'm talking like... a max of 2 weeks?" I laugh.
"Shinichi isn't known for giving up easily love. He will come looking for you and my siblings and I will be here to fight him." Caroline nearly chokes on laughter.
"You can't beat Shinichi, he held Stefan prisoner in the dark dimension for months while Damon and Elena tried to find him!" I can see the regret in her face as she shares this information. Damon and Elena alone for months. well this is interesting. Of course I knew Stefan was trapped but this is new information. (A/N In the books Stefan does get trapped in the dark dimension by Shinichi)
"Don't worry my love, your secret is safe with me," I chuckle.

Caroline
Pulling into the driveway
"Oh my God!" I exclaim eyeing the massive house. I step out of the car and wander up to the front door. "Allow me," Klaus says pulling the door open to reveal a staircase and multiple halls. Klaus points me in a direction and I walk into a sitting room with Hayley pitched on one couch and Elijah watching her from the other. "Caroline," Elijah States smiling.
"I'm surprised he managed to get you here, he dragged me Kicking and screaming," Hayley frowns at Klaus who smiles rather smugly. "Actually, I decided to come, it would be safer for everyone in town, not because of you," I cast a glance over my shoulder at Klaus. I smirk, Hayley laughs and Klaus growls. "Why all the insults love? last time we saw eachother - "
"They don't need an insight!" I exclaim quickly as Elijah looks up amused having put the pieces together. "And as for your question, i'm having a really bad day! Shinchi has run me out of town and i'm stuck here until he gets over me, it is really reminding me of us!" I exclaim over-dramatically.
"Well then Caroline, I will leave you to get settled and come back... Later, I have people to deal with. Elijah, brother, show Caroline to her room."

Klaus

Aha. That is why she has been so cold, she doesn't want me to tell everyone about what happened in the woods. Too bad love, i'm afraid Elijah figured it out. Which makes sense, this is exactly what she did at the pageant when she saw Tyler and Hayley together.

Elijah

What my brother does in his trips to Mystic Falls is none of my business, but perhaps this explains his desire to keep this 'Shinichi' from laying a possessive hand on Caroline.

Caroline
My room is massive! The bed could easily be big enough for five of me.
Not that I expected less, this is klaus we are talking about. Elijah walked me to my room, apologising for his brother and telling me to let him know if Klaus was bothering me. Great. No one trusts me to deal with my own problems. "Ugh I probably need more clothes!" I groan looking at the bag I packed. "How long are you staying anyway?" A voice asks from the door.
"Hayley thank god! I need to talk to you, it's about Tyler." Hayley looked visibly uncomfortable at my mention of Tyler. "So when klaus came back to Mystic Falls he and I sort of had a moment and that moment led to... Anyway, Tyler found out because of Katherine and he hates me and-"
"Listen Caroline, Klaus has a way of getting what he wants - I'm pregnant! - and Tyler is self centred and paranoid. Wait for him to cool off," Hayley says sitting in a chair across from the bed, cradling her belly. "Hayley, I completely agree with your previous statement about Tyler but give me a second to talk to my hostage," Klaus smiles. Hayley looks apologetically at me and leaves. "Caroline I-"
"Save your apology, I was wrong. I get it, your doing this to protect me." I say avoiding eye contact. "Well, it just so happens I was going to say, I went and got the rest of your clothes and may have left something on the dresser." I spin around to look at the dresser but nothing is there. I look back for Klaus but he is gone, but now a box sits on the dresser suspiciously big. Oh gosh.
