Fractured Light

1. Fractured Light

Hey :)

So I'm a huge Klaroline shipper and this story idea kinda came to me whilst fangirling on a sleepless night (y'know, like you do!). Anyway, hope you give it a read and tell me what you think? It'd mean a lot :)

Fractured Light

After Elena turns off her humanity, she murders Caroline's mom to prove a point. Now Caroline's alone, just like Elena. So what does she do? She runs, never looks back and worst of all, flips the switch. Can Klaus save her? Can he be her light, guiding her back?

Disclaimer: I do not own The Vampire Diaries or it's characters (sadly).

Klaus' POV

It had been months since I'd last seen her. Six to be in fact.

Stefan and I were still on the road, looking for her. Of course, Stefan left now and then to go and check in on Elena. I didn't really see the point in him doing so. As much as he loved Elena, she would never truly be his again. She wouldn't love him like he wants her to. She was far too gone. And Stefan, well he was just a lost soul. I knew one of the main reasons he agreed to help me find Caroline was so that his mind would be occupied by anything other than Elena. What could be worse than being in love with a girl who loved your brother after turning her humanity off?

My mind, however, was occupied by the need to find her. I craved to see her face again. It had been six whole months since I'd last seen her. Mystic Falls wasn't the same without her. It missed her essence, her beauty, her shining light.

I still remember the night Rebekah told me the news. I was out, running errands and hot on Katherine's trail after getting the heads up from Hayley. Of course, Caroline thought I was going after Tyler.

My phone rang just as I was about to pounce on one of Katherine's allies. I glanced at my phone and grimaced; what did I do to deserve such a pestering sister?

"What could be so important Rebekah that has you constantly ringing me for the past four hours? Hasn't my ignorance sent you the message yet?" I felt her frown at the other end of the line.

"Nik" she replied, she sounded off. I instantly grew worried.

"What is it Rebekah?" I demanded, knowing whatever it was that she was about to tell me wasn't going to be good.

"It's Caroline." And that's when I froze. Who knew those two words could cause an Original's heart to skip a beat? What about Caroline? It had only been over twenty-four hours since I last saw her.

"What happened? Is she okay?" I asked, growing anxious.

"No." Rebekah breathed.

I didn't reply. I wasn't even stunned at Rebekah's reaction and sudden sympathy towards Caroline; even though she'd otherwise be willing to tear her apart at any give opportunity.

"It's her Mom. Elena" she paused, hesitating, "- Elena killed her Mom".

I was glad Rebekah didn't beat around the bush and told me straight out. It gave me enough ammunition to drop everything and leave.

I hung up on her straightaway and turned around; terminating my plan and heading back for Mystic Falls even though I was half way to New Orleans.

Only when I arrived a few short hours later, Caroline was nowhere to be seen.

"What d'you mean she's gone?!" Stefan just looked away, his face drenched in guilt as I questioned him on Caroline's whereabouts.

"I don't know. I took her back home and she said she wanted to be left alone. And then she was gone when I went to check up on her later" Stefan shrugged.
