"Hello!! Klaus" she said with a smirk
I couldn't comprehend on what was she up to, exposing herself like that after decades, it didn't make any sense to me. I was sure she was up to something. But the question was what?
"It seems like you have finally accepted your destiny and here for the death wish. Well I must say I am astounded but at the same time so exultant, So tell me Katherine my love, how would you like to die" I said with a smirk
"Haha, Your sense of humour is still the same but I guess your memory is not that shrill." She said
"What do you mean?" I questioned
"Well it looks like you have completely forgotten about the one thing that could kill you, remember the stake klaus, How can you be so offhand, Did you thought I was joking around or were you too busy staring at that blondie like a love struck Romeo, never thought you would fall for a wuss like her, You have degraded your dating standards that low." She commented with a grin plastered on her face.
I felt my veins popping with anger and I caught her neck in a swift motion ready to kill her.
"Enough of your baloney, anything else you want to say before I snap your neck" I muttered
She had an unusual smile on her face and no sign of fear, I felt muddled, before I could do anything I felt a sharp device stabbed in my abdominal part, I hissed with pain, I slowly lost my consciousness and dropped downed to the floor.

Have you seen Klaus anywhere? Elijah asked
Rebekah was slathering butter in the bread, she looked up to him and without answering kept doing her work.
"I am talking to you sister. Has he said anything to you about his whereabouts, I am trying to call him since morning but his phone is switched off." Elijah asked
"How would I know Elijah, Do you think the mighty Klaus would inform me about his plans, maybe he has gone to find the dagger for me." Rebekah replied while rolling her eyes
"Do you two had a fight?" Elijah questioned
Just leave Elijah, I don't have time or energy to talk about him, I have some work in the town. Bye" Rebekah said and went away without listening to him
Elijah pondered over the whole situation. "This is strange, Klaus never leaves like that, something is going on. I need to find out what."
........................
Have you seen Caroline? I have been trying to call her but she is ignoring my calls and she didn't attended her classes as well. Where is she Elena?" Matt asked
"Hmm, I talked to her yesterday, she was little stressed over something. You should talk to her Matt." Elena replied
"I know, I have been so busy these days plus she also looked so distant, I mean she was constantly dodging my calls and she has been eluding me. If I try to talk to her she just makes some excuse and run away. I don't know what's happening Elena. Do you know something? Matt questioned
"No Matt. Sorry" Elena lied
"Ohk!! But can you just go and talk to her because she isn't answering any of my calls. Please" Matt requests
"Yes Sure Matt, I was going to her house only. Don't worry I'll talk to her" Elena assures him
"Thanks Elena" Matt smiled
Elena smiles and walk towards her house to know what exactly is going on.
"Caroline get up, what are you doing? Are you sick" she checks her temperature
"I'm fine Elena, don't worry." Caroline said sitting on the bed
Elena sat beside her, She got worried seeing her condition, Caroline looked completely worn out, her hairs were messy, her eyes were red and puffy as if she cried an ocean, and she looked so tired and dull as if she hasn't slept or eaten anything.
"You don't look fine, what happened Care?" Elena asks worriedly
Caroline looks at her and start crying terribly. Elena hugs her tightly and gently rubs her back after some time she calms down and her sobs also reduced.
Elena parts away from her and looks her in the eye. "Will you tell me what's going on, you looked fine yesterday, anything at work, Did you talked to Klaus?"
Listening to his name her eyes started watering again.
"So it's about him only? What happened Caroline, Did you tell him about your feelings?" Elena asks her gently
"No, I hate him, don't ever talk about him again." Caroline groans and walks towards the window looking deeply into the sky
Elena gets confused seeing her sudden reaction for him, till yesterday she seemed madly in love with him and now all of a sudden she hates him.
"Caroline, just look at me and tell me everything, you are making me tensed now" Elena said
Caroline turns around and seeing her concern, she sighs and then tells her everything about her going to his house, about their little encounter and then about that blondie he is screwing with.
"Oh!! Caroline, I'm sorry sweetheart" she hugs her again.
"Don't worry he didn't deserved you, you deserve much more than that. Stop crying over him and get up everyone is worried about you, your Mom, Matt."
Hearing Matt's name Caroline suddenly looks up and her face gets filled up with guilt.
"Elena how am I going to face Matt, after what happened with Klaus and everything" Caroline asks worriedly
"Don't worry Care, he will understand, talk to him atleast, he is very tensed for you." Elena answers
"Yes you are right, I'll talk to him. Thanks Elena what would I have done without you" She says
They again hugged each other, Elena left and Caroline got ready to face Matt and clear out things with them.
.......................
I took a long warm bath and got ready to go to the grill to face Matt.
"Hey Caroline, thank god u came" he came running towards me and took me in a tight hug
"You look beautiful, I've missed you so much, I'm sorry for last week. I'll take an off, let's go somewhere" he said with utmost joy
The more he said, the more I felt guilty. He truly was a gem of a person, I feel so bad. My eyes started blurring again before I knew I broke down.
Matt got tensed, he held my face in his palms and wiped my tears. "What happened babe, you are scaring me now." He asked worriedly
The sob rose in my throat and I looked at his face. He was caressing my cheeks with utmost love and care.
"Matt, I'm sorry, I'm soo sorry" I said while sobbing
"Why are you saying sorry Care, I'm the one who is sorry for not giving you the time you deserve, I love u Babe" He said and kissed my forehead gently
"Matt I don't think I can do this anymore, I care for you and you don't deserve this, you deserve much better." I said while looking down
"What are you talking about, I don't understand." He asked confusion written all over his face
I came closer to him and held his hand in mine. "Matt this between us is not working out, I am in a place in my life where I don't think I'm ready for this, I have felt strange emotions and sensations in these past few days which has changed me a little. I am not the same girl anymore and I'm really sorry for everything. You are wonderful and amazing, it's not about you it's me.
He looked dazed but then replied with a hint of anger in his voice "Caroline you are seriously breaking up with me by being so cliché like I deserve better, it's not you it's me. Are you seriously kidding me?" He asked
I was about to say something but he shrugged his hands of my hold. "I don't want to be around you for now, I'll talk to you later, bye" he shrieked and went away.
I looked at him going away from me, I felt even more lonely now, I felt guilty and there was grief in my heart for breaking his heart but I cannot continue this dead end relationship anymore. I wasn't true and loyal to him, while I was with him I lost my heart to another man. Remembering about Klaus, My eyes filled up again and an unknown pain grieved my heart.
....................
It's been a week since I last saw him, I didn't wanted to see him but my eyes kept searching for him, my heart kept missing him. I wanted to see his handsome face. I wanted him to call me, I wanted him to tell me that he only loves me. I wanted him to come up to me and apologise and hold me in his arms. This past week made me realize that it wasn't just infatuation or 7 day crush, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
I never realized when my heart betrayed me and made him a permanent resident.
I was walking around when I saw the same blonde girl with some guy. I thought he was Klaus and for a second my heart was at peace but then the guy turned around and it was Klaus's brother, I don't know his name but my mother once told me about him and showed me an article in the paper about him and Klaus, the article was about some charitable work that they did and it had a picture of both of them.
But I wonder what is he doing with her. I went closer to them to know what exactly is going on. They were engaged in a serious conversation, I hid behind the tree. I was quietly eavesdropping.
"Rebekah this is serious, it's been 7 days and still there is no news of him. Please tell me what happened on that day."
She told him everything and how they both had a fight.
I felt confused on why did they had a fight when I left. But before I could think much he said "Sister our brother is in deep trouble, I can feel it, we need to find him soon." And she nodded, they both looked extremely tensed.
I felt like my world crushed, she is his SISTER and he is missing since that day. And what trouble are they talking about. My brain felt like exploding, My heart was filled with grief and fear to lose him.
I dropped down on the ground and my tears started shedding automatically. I never felt this scared in my entire life, I felt like I am losing him forever and I haven't even told him how I felt, how madly I am in Love with him.
Yes I'm madly and unconditionally in love with him and I'll find him at any cost.
"Please come back, Please let me apologise, Pleasee!!!!" and tears started flowing uncontrollably
There on the other side of the town, he finally opened his eyes.
"Caroline" he whispers
