It Takes Three To Tango (TW&TVD FanFic)

The Intruder's Threat

As the time passed, Caroline's eyes grew heavy. One look at her freshly made bed was enough for her. Slipping off her jeans, she climbed under the covers and drifted off.

"Caroline. ...Caroline..." She heard a whisper.

"Was this a dream?" she thought.

"Caroline...Caroline. ..."

"Who are you? Where are you?" She shouted.

A strange laughter filled the background. She had no idea what was happening, all she knew was that she was being watched. As she tossed and turned, trying to wake herself up, a dark figure hovered over her sleeping body

"Caroline...Caroline..."

"What? Tell me what you want!"

"You..."

Before she could ask anymore questions to the intruder who haunted her dreams, she woke up in a sweat. As she sprung up, she noticed a small giftbox laying perfectly in the middle of the room.

Taking her time walking towards the box, Caroline looked all around her. She made sure no one was around as she picked up the small box. Looking at the light blue wrapping paper, she rolled her eyes. Having no patience to keep the paper, she ripped it open.

"Gorgeous", gasped Caroline.

Inside was a very old ring. First thing she noticed was the huge ruby diamond in the middle. The band was gold and it wrapped all around leaving three lines on each side. Picking up the ring she knew it would fit her. Looking back in the box she saw a note:

Precious Caroline,

I sincerely hope you take this ring as a token of my love. I know you said you couldn't. But I believe, in due time, you will change your mind.

Niklaus

"Ugh I should have known", growling Caroline throws everything back in the box.

Grabbing the box and discarded wrapping paper she runs down stairs and throws it in the trash. Slamming down the top of the garbage, Caroline walks back to her room feeling satisfied. Not knowing she was being watched.

She took a long, deep breath and tried to lay back down. As soon as her head hit the pullow, she was out. This time around her dreams were filled with two handsome fellas, whom she didn't mind intruding her space.

As Klaus watched Caroline once more he noticed this time she was smiling.

"Derek...Stiles..." she moaned out loud.

Klaus, the intruder, heard these names that were not his own. In fury, he smashed her lamp into the wall and vanished.

Startled, Caroline jumped up once again and before she could call out for her Mom, Liz was in the doorway making sure all was okay.

"What the hell was that Care?" Looking around the room noticing the broken lamp, Liz faces her daughter with a horrified expression on her face.

"I really have no idea", Caroline had an equal confused expression. "Was it Klaus? Shit, he must have seen me toss out his gift. Oh well, he can get over it." She thought, Shrugging her shoulders both Forbes went back to bed.

In the morning, Caroline was greeted by the shining sun through her balcony door. What a magnificent sight to see. Grinning she gets out of bed, "I could defiantly get used to this."

Walking down the stairs she notices she can't hear her mom's silent snores. Seeing a note in the kitchen, Caroline's worries went away.

Hey Sweetheart,
