On The Run

Take a Bite

Caroline woke up with a kink in her neck and realized that she was still in the car. She frowned as she moved her head slowly working out the ache from her head being against the car window for too long. It was pitch black out she looked at the dash and the clock read a little after nine pm she'd felt like she'd been out for longer than an hour, for the first time in ages she actually felt refreshed.

"Your finally awake." Bonnie said from the drivers seat. "I was beginning to worry. I thought maybe he'd done something to you. There was a lot of...thrashing at first and than you slept so soundly."

Caroline felt her face flush as she remembered what they had done. Sure Bonnie hadn't seen anything, but it was still embarrassing to know that she'd had mind blowing sex while sitting next to her best friend. She leaned her head back against the seat and blew out a short breath. "I'm starving." She said as the urge suddenly hit her.

"There's a cooler in the back seat." Bonnie said pointing behind her.

"How did you manage that. It's only been like an hour."

Bonnie laughed. "Care it's been a whole day. You've been asleep since last night. It was actually surprisingly easy no compulsion required."

"Oh." Well that explained why she was starved and feeling refreshed well aside from the aches from sleeping in a car. "I'm surprised he let me sleep that long peacefully." She reached back and opened the cooler taking out a blood bag and popping it open.

"Well it didn't seem peaceful at first." Bonnie said quietly. "Is it always like that?"

"Yes." She admitted feeling her face turn even redder if that were even possible. "I panicked I didn't know what to say, I... we... it was my fault I started it...you'd be surprised what that man can do in a dream." She paused as she remembered the last part. "He tried to compel me."

"What did he want you to do?" Bonnie asked concerned.

"He wanted me to come back." She replied as a feeling of guilt consumed her. All he wanted was her and she had to talk to him. The key was finding him in the right mood. "I should have just told him and gotten it over with." But he'd been mad, and she honestly didn't know how he was going to take the news.

"You know if he's this possessive over you now Care..."

"I know Bonnie. But he should know that we...that I'm..." It was still really hard for her to say. She'd known for a week and it was still hard for her to accept it. It shouldn't be possible. "He has the right to know, and if he wanted to hurt me he would have already."

"You know Care, I think it's a two way street. Meaning you could probably enter his head if you tried."

She felt a smile spread across her lips. "That might be a nice little surprise for him. I'm not really sure how to do it though."

"Rebekah." Klaus said hugging his little sister. He hated seeing her distraught.

"It was awful Nik. He just showed up out of nowhere. Elijah and I barely got out in time." Rebekah whispered.

"Mikael is back brother." Elijah said quietly. "We should leave the country before him and Alaric find us."

"I'm not leaving without Caroline." Klaus growled.

"Really Nik just let her go. She isn't worth your life." Rebekah scoffed.

That was where she was wrong. Caroline was his life. He didn't deserve her they both knew it. Maybe if he knew she didn't want him also it would be different. Something had changed he knew she cared for him and craved his touch even if she refused to admit it. He wanted to prove to her that he could be a better man, which was why he'd left Tyler alive. Though he swore if he had to listen to that boy whine one more time about tormenting his girlfriend he might snap his neck. "You three leave I'll stay with my hybrids and find Caroline and meet you in London."

"Nik." Rebekah pouted. "Forget about her and come away with us. There will be plenty of pretty girls in London."

"I'll be fine go on Rebekah love." He said pushing her into the SUV and closing the door. He couldn't leave without Caroline it just wasn't an option, and he didn't want any other girl.

"We'll see you in London brother." Elijah said climbing into the drivers seat.

"I'm staying I fully intend to give that witch..." Kol started.

"Your not going to harm the witch Kol."

"Are you going soft Nik? Do you know what she did to me brother?" Kol asked turning on him in disbelief.

Of course he knew, but he also knew that Caroline didn't want the monster. He had to start embracing his humanity instead of pushing it down. "She's a witch and a strong one at that brother. Your not going to harm her. We might need her." He said not wanting his brother to think him soft.

Kol murmured something under his breath that he didn't care to try and decipher. His cell phone rang and he smiled as he saw Naomi one of his witches number. "Tell me you have good news love."

"The witch you asked me to locate is in Tampa. I'm going to send you the exact coordinates to your phone."

He smiled Bonnie Bennett hadn't thought to block a locator spell for herself, and she'd just given away her and Caroline's position. "Thank you Naomi."

"Klaus." She said. "The hunter is going in that direction to."

"Which one?" he asked swallowing as he was already climbing in his car. He had to find Caroline before something happened to her.

"Both." He sighed. He would walk through hell to protect her, and it seemed he was about to.

Caroline climbed out of the tub and pulled the plug draining the water. She stared at herself in the hotel mirror she was close to ten weeks now and still you couldn't tell. She placed her hand on her stomach protectively. She wasn't going to let anything happen to her baby. This was her one chance to be a parent and she was going to protect him or her with her life. She just needed to tell Klaus. She was terrified of what he was going to say, but knew she couldn't prolong it forever.

She slipped on the plaid pants and t shirt she had bought and padded out to the hotel room. Bonnie had gone out to buy some supplies and she had the hotel room to herself. She laid down on the bed and flipped on the TV.

After flipping through the channels twice she was about to give up and go to bed when someone knocked at the door. She looked through the peep hole and saw that it was someone in the hotel uniform. Sighing she pulled the door open. "Can I help you?"

Before she could even think two other men came up beside him and grabbed her pulling her forward and slamming her into the wall. She hit the wall so hard it cracked and plaster splintered on the floor. Quickly recovering she started to run but was tackled to the ground knocking the wind from her. Strong arms grabbed her and she was hoisted up and held firmly by two men one on each shoulder. She screamed as another one approached her his fangs elongating and eyes turned yellow. These were hybrids. She kicked with her feet trying to keep him back, but the bite came from behind on her shoulder. She shrieked as teeth pierced skin as warm blood oozed from her shoulder. Suddenly they let go of her and she fell to the floor looking up at the three hybrids.

"Klaus wants you to give him a call." One of them sneered as they flashed away.

Crying she pushed herself to her feet and ran back to the bathroom to look in the mirror. She knew they'd pierced her skin but she had to see anyway. She shook as she saw the blood on her grey t shirt. Her hands instantly went to her stomach a werewolf bite would kill a vampire. If she died so did her baby. "No." She cried as she sunk to the floor. What had Klaus done?
