Lasting Love (Klaroline)

The Safe!

Caroline's POV
It had been 2 weeks, since The Mikaelsons left town. I try not to think about them cause when I do, I end up crying in tears. I read his letter every night and get even more upset. I told the truth to Kat and Bonnie, about the whole deal with the Mikaelsons. I try and hold myself together, but behind closed doors, I am a wreck. It feels like I lost a part of myself 2 weeks ago. I never even got to say those 3 little words to him. I miss him like crazy, and I don't think I can ever get over him. I guess I am just holding out hope, he will come back, even though I know he isn't ever coming back. He wrote in his letter about how Love is a weakness.

I recalled a thing Tyler asked me, everyday when he was torturing me. He kept asking about a safe. Each time I would say I don't know, he slapped, punched or cut me.

I don't know any safe, or where any is. Then something came into my mind, it was a conversation between Dahlia and my mother.

Flashback:
I was sitting in the living room of Dahlia's mansion, playing with dolls. I was around ten years old. I then heard my mother say, " We can't tell her, not yet. She is too young."

Dahlia said, " We can at least give her hints, she has to know. She has the right to know, since she is in the middle of this."

My mother said, " We don't even know where the safe is! How can we tell her?"

Dahlia said, " I know where the safe is. I opened it and it was a bunch of secrets of the founding families. I didn't read any of them, I just closed the safe. It is in one of my nephews closet floor."

My mother said, " How do we tell a ten year old, she is in the middle of a fight with the founding families? All because the Lockwoods are in some drug trading ring, and they want their secret stayed safe."

Dahlia said, " We don't tell her. I can give her a hint of the combination and hope she remembers and do what she wants with the secrets that are withheld in there."

My mother said, " Okay. Go ahead."

Dahlia then walked toward me and sat down beside me. She asked, " What doll is that one?"

I said, " Cinderella."

Dahlia smiled and said, " Ahh! I remember that one. There was 5 mice, 1 fairy godmother, 2 glass slippers, and 1 Prince Charming."

I looked up at her and said, " Dahlia, do you want to play dolls?"

Dahlia smiled and said, " How could I turn down a beautiful invitation like that?"

I giggled and then we played dolls.

End of Flashback.

I got up out of bed, and put on my blue jeans with my blue crop top, with my black leather jacket and my blue heels. I then grabbed my purse and headed downstairs. Thankfully, Damon and Stefan weren't down there. I headed out the door, and to my Lamborghini. I then drove to the Mikaelson mansion.

I parked my car, and got out. I took a deep breath before opening the door. I haven't been here since that night he left. I went inside and seen the place the same except sheets covering the furniture. Stefan and Damon did that to make sure everything stays in good condition.

I went upstairs, and looked in Elijah's room, which was in the east side of the house with Bekah's room. Nothing in his room, I then looked in Kol's room which was beside Elijahs room, still nothing. I then took a deep breath and walked toward the west side of the house. I walked down the long hallway, and stopped in front of his door. I opened the door, and walked inside.

I went to the closet and tapped along the floor. There was loose floorboards, I picked them out. There was a safe. I typed in the code, 5121, and it opened. I looked inside and there was file folders. I picked them up and looked at the tabs. One of the Fells, Young, Salvatore, Gilbert's, Lockwoods, and even of the Mikaelsons. They were the original founders of the town, before the Lockwoods, Gilbert's, Salvatores, Young's, and the Fells even came here.

It was tempting to see what they said, but I didn't. I went to the fireplace in his room and lit it. I then threw the Fells, Salvatores, Gilbert's, Young's, And the Lockwoods into the fire. I didn't throw the Mikaelsons in. I just couldn't.

I went and sat on his bed, and opened the folder. It had all of the Mikaelsons names, Mikael, Dahlia, Esther, Freya, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, A Finn, Henrik, and even Klaus. There was pictures on each of their file with their names. Apparently, Elijah is not the eldest brother, Finn was. I never heard of Finn before, they never talked about him. I wonder why?

I read all of their files. Dahlia's said, 'Dahlia, sweet nice lady. With a tendency for killing and hurting people.'

Esthers said, 'Esther, wife of Mikael, bore 7 children. The planner of the bunch.'

Mikael's said, ' Mikael, husband of Esther. Fathers 7 children. Mean streak. Planner, killer, torturer, etc.'

Freya's said, 'Freya, eldest. Loyal, destructive, nice.'

Finns said, ' Finn, Idiot. Loses family cause he fell in love with a enemy.'

Elijah's said, ' Elijah, always wears a suit. Loyal, moral, keeps his word, elegant, and has a dark side if you are a traitor.'

Kol's said, ' Kol, Psycho. Loves to torture and Kill people with a bat. Sarcastic. Teenager at heart.'

Rebekah's said, ' Rebekah, Littlest sister. Loyal, killer of men, and disrespect her then deal with her brothers.'

Henriks said, ' Henrik, youngest. Not much info. Died caused by a wolf.'

Niklaus's said, 'Niklaus, The Wolf. Doesn't trust easily. Hates people who disrespects his family. Disastrous. Killed since he was 18. Has about 55 people killed since he was 18. Loves to torture people for weeks, and loves to kill. Hard to love, and hard to forget. No weaknesses. Slaughtered an entire family of 10 for disrespecting his little sister. The most Disastrous out of all the Mikaelsons.'

I looked at the Picture they had for Klaus. I just looked at him. He looked a lot younger, in a black jacket with a red dress shirt. He looks even more handsome then. I then felt tears on my cheeks. I then cried. I just kept crying, I was mad at him and yet I can't hate him, even with those bad things these people wrote about him. I don't know, I just can't hate him.

About 3 hours later, I stopped crying and threw the folder into the fire. The fire burnt out with in another hour.

My phone buzzed, it was Kat texting me.

K- Care, where are you? Came to your house, earlier didn't find you.

C- I'm fine. I just went for a drive.

K- Thank goodness.

I then heard someone yell, " CAROLINE!!"

I was confused, I didn't tell anyone where I was. I went out to the room, and went downstairs. There Stefan was standing in the foyer of the Mansion. He hugged me.

I said, " Stef, I am fine. How did you find me?"

He said, " I am just worried. I found you because Bonnie seen your car pass her house earlier. When I came looking for you earlier, she told me That she seen your car earlier. I figured it out from there. What are you doing here?"

I said, " Nothing. Just needed some to come here to relieve my mind."

He said, " Alright. Let's go. Damon is cooking."

I scrunched my nose up and said, " Damon is cooking. Why? He sucks at cooking."

Stefan laughed and said, " Just eat it, and shut up. Be nice."

I said, " Fine. But we are watching all girly movies tonight."

He said, " Fine."

We laughed and then walked outside. I locked the door, and then headed to my car. I got in and drove down the driveway. Stefan followed me all the way home. We then ate dinner, and then changed into our pjs and watched, 'Legally Blondes.'
