It Takes Three To Tango (TW&TVD FanFic)

The Hospital Trip

Caroline lied in bed, not being able to sleep.  She just wanted to have skin to skin contact with her boys over and over again.  Moments later Caroline felt that presence of someone watching her again. Sitting up, she scanned the room.  Nothing.  As she lied back, she closed her eyes tight.  Flashes of Derek and Stiles filled her mind.  Turning onto her side, she felt a hand brush her shoulder. 

Vampire mode was on as she quickly jumped out of bed.  Finding Klaus laying there didn't surprise her.

"Sorry to startle you, Care."  Klaus said, as if he was invited. 

 "How do you even get in here? I never invited you in!"  Caroline tried to keep her voice at a hush shout.

"Let's just say, I knew the previous owner." 

Not surprised, she didn't ask questions on the subject.  "Well, what do you want now?"

"Still you..."

"Seriously, Klaus come on. You and me would never work can't you see that?" losing all her hopes of having a good night sleep, Caroline's shoulders slouched down and her face was in an unrecognizable frown.

Not liking the way she was talking to him, Klaus shot out of her bed and glared at her. "No I don't see that. Once those two people are out of the picture you will finally see."

Caroline shivered at the cold tone of his voice. Finally realizing what he implied, Caroline got angry.

"How dare you come here and act like you fucking own me! And especially, how dare you come here and threaten my mates. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THAT - MATES KLAUS? Now please get out of my house" she all about growled out.

Her face changed as her eyes had black lines coming out as they turned black themselves, as well as her teeth elongating.  Before she could make any move she was pushed up against the wall with a strong hand around her neck. Trying to get away was pointless. Klaus was unrelenting in keeping her right where she was, in his control.

"I COULD CARE LESS MY SWEET. YOU WILL SEE!" he screamed in her face.

Klaus was so preoccupied with dealing with Caroline, he didn't hear her door slam open. He also didn't hear someone charging at him with a temper to match his own. It was only when he was flung away from Caroline did he realize she wasn't alone.

Looking back at her he saw that she was behind one of the guys he has seen her with. Derek was in his beta form ready to kill this guy who dared to hurt his mate. He couldn't think straight all he could see was red and he wanted blood.

Caroline came back to herself and laid a hand on Derek's back. She could feel the waves of anger coming from him. She brought her arms around him as she buried her face in his back, as her hands entangled in front of Derek's body. After a few seconds, which felt like hours, one of his hands found its way on top of her entangled hands. Both of them relaxed into one another.

"What the hell is going on in here?"  A sleepy yet very stern voice that was Liz.

Everyone looked to see that yes, Liz was in fact right outside Caroline's bedroom door. As everyone froze, Klaus sped off in the direction of the bedroom door. Suddenly Liz's body flew up against a wall, and Klaus was gone.

"Mom, Mom...are you okay?" Caroline whined as she rushed to her Mother's side.

As Liz's eyes opened, she saw a man behind Caroline and was startled.  "Who are you?" She winced, as the pain shot through her body.

"Ma'am, I'm Derek.  We need to get you to the hospital."

With no more questions being asked, Derek picked up her limp body and sped to the car.  Care opened up her Mother's vehicle, but handed him the keys. She was in no shape to drive at this point.
