A Second Chance (Klaroline)

Chapter twenty-one (Weakness)

"Hold on just a second Klaus." I pleaded through deep breaths, while steadying myself on one of the trees. Klaus stopped only briefly, "We have to hurry Caroline." he suddenly lifted me over his shoulder and began to run again. I didn't protest because I knew that I wouldn't be able to keep up with an Original. I wrapped my arms around his neck, feeling his warmth and his steady breath "I'm sorry for being mad at you." I whispered in his ear, he chuckled responding "It's alright love, I did lash out on you harshly earlier." I smiled hugging him tightly, missing his hold. We suddenly came closer to the part of the woods Stefan had pointed out and heard soft murmuring, Klaus placed me gently on the ground and lifted a finger to my lips...signaling not to make any noise. I nodded as we creeped closer , there we spotted the twelve witches circled around Bonnie who seemed oblivious and unconscious. "We have to help her!" I whispered to Klaus who didn't move, just then Stefan appeared infront of the group of witches "Stop! you can't do this!" he spat. One of the witches looked up at him angrily "You shouldn't be here, blood sucker." she warned raising her hand about to attack him, "Wait please!Bonnie's under Silas's control & she'll kill all of you if you don't stop this spell NOW!" Stefan pleaded. "Silas!" all the witches shrieked in horror, "Well then I'm sorry to say this child has to be killed, if not Silas will be able to accomplish what he wants." she began murmuring some words and the other witches followed & Bonnie's body began to move and her eyes began rolling back. Before Stefan had time to try to reach Bonnie one of the witches threw him down with her powers sending a piercing pain through his head, I gasped about to run to help Bonnie as the witches began their spell. "Let me go!" I screamed at Klaus who pinned me down "Caroline stop it, there's nothing we can do!" he soothed trying to hold me. "She's my best friend, I have to help her!" I shrieked fighting him and feeling tears begin to spill from my eyes, "Bonnie!" I said speeding over to her somehow managing to get Klaus off of me. I sped over to the witch who had the stake ready to plunge it into Bonnie and found myself surprised Klaus didn't stop me, without thinking I twisted her hand staking it through her heart. "No!" Klaus screamed as slowly one by one each of the twelve witches fell, I stood back dropping the lifeless body in my arms. I felt my body begin to tremble as the corpses of twelve witches stood before me, I gasped falling to the ground. Bonnie whispered something about the triangle being completed & I crawled over to her hugging her tightly. "Why would you do that,now Silas has everything he needs to rise the supernatural dead!" Klaus yelled angrily. Stefan stood up grabbing Bonnie from my arms "She's my bestfriend!" I yelled back still feeling a bit shaken. "I should have stopped her, why didn't I stop her!" Klaus whispered to himself and began to curse loudly. "Take her home and call Dr.Fell." I instructed Stefan hurrying him off to make sure Bonnie was okay and got some rest. "AGHHH!" Klaus screamed fustrated punching a hole,splitting one of the trees nearby. I took a step back looking over at the twelve bodies on the ground "Oh God!" I said feeling my body begin to tremble, "You-!" Klaus said approaching me with an accusing look,"This is your fault!" he yelled pinning me against a tree, "Klaus I'm sorry but-!" I began to yell back. "I could've stopped you...but I let you, all because of this stupid feeling I have for you!" he spat. I looked up to meet his angry gaze "Stupid feeling?" I questioned him keeping my chin up defiantly. "Yes, this bloody feeling I have for you, it weakens me!" he yelled backing away from me as if I was infectious. "Then DON'T feel it, if you really HATE it and if you say it makes you weak, then STOP feeling it!" I screamed feeling tears start to fall from my eyes, as my heart shattered in pieces. He turned his back towards me looking down towards the ground not wanting to see me cry, "I think it would be best if we..." he began again more softly this time. I walked slowly over to him taking a hold of his shoulders "Wait, before you continue, tell me WHAT exactly you feel for me." I whispered low in his ear, wanting to hear what my heart longed for before this ended. He turned around meeting my tear filled eyes and gently brought a finger to wipe them away, "I love you Caroline, but..." before he could continue I brought his lips down on mine. He eagerly cupped my neck bringing our lips and body closer, his lips moved gently with my own. I felt more tears begin to spill as I knew this kiss would mean goodbye. I understood Klaus in a twisted way, I knew he was strong enough to hold me down while Bonnie was being killed but he chose not to......

because of the love he had toward me, his weakness. I wouldn't change Klaus's mind if I wanted to & even if I could ..I loved him too much to be the one to hold him back. "I love you too & I'm sorry for EVERYTHING." he was about to say something in response but I cut him off. "Love is a vampires greatest weakness but I understand you don't want that in your life." I continued backing away from him. He stood in place still undecided on his decision, wich made my heart brake even more, "Goodbye Klaus, I'm sorry for causing you the worst feeling in the world." I whispered sourly. Before I began to sob, I ran off leaving him........with my heart.
