"Caroline".

A shocked Caroline turned around, hearing the voice of the man who she couldn't stop thinking about, "Klaus?".

"Hello, Caroline" Klaus greeted.

Caroline smiled seeing Klaus, without wasting a second, Caroline ran over to the hybrid and jumped into his arms, "You're here" she breathed out, "You're actually here, I thought I would have to wait longer then this to see you again".

"I missed you" Klaus admitted, "I had to see you".

"I thought you will forget about me as soon as you went to New Orleans" Caroline admitted, finally breaking the hug, "I thought you will move on from me".

"I never had any intention of moving on" Klaus said, "The truth is, I've tried to stop thinking about you, and I can't".

"I can't stop thinking about you either" Caroline admitted.

"Then come to New Orleans" Klaus said, "What are you so afraid of?".

"I'm not afraid of anything Klaus, but I can't leave Aria here, you know that" Caroline replied, slightly confused.

"Forget Aria, for once think about yourself and not her" Klaus said.

Caroline frowned, hearing Klaus, "Aria? You called her Aria, you don't call her Aria, you never have".

Klaus glared at Caroline and suddenly she was slammed to the tree by Klaus, "Where is she Caroline? Where is Aria?".

"Silas" Caroline realised.

"Where is she?!" Silas yelled, "She's not with Damon or Kol, I checked, and she's not with you or Rebekah, which makes me think she's with my brother, so tell me Caroline, where is she!? Tell her I'm looking for her, tell her to come out of the shadows, tell her that this--", Caroline yelled when Silas staked her in the chest with a wooden stake, luckily it was right above her heart, "--is only the beginning".

Caroline woke up in the woods, looking down at her chest, she was shocked realising there was no stake, Silas had made her imagine that, Caroline quickly grabbed her phone and realised she had missed Aria and Rebekah's calls, she slowly stood up and looked around scared, wondering if Silas was still near her, seeing no sign of Silas, Caroline quickly took off running.

"Caroline!" Rebekah yelled, startling a already scared Caroline, "Where have you been, me and Aria have been trying to call you for so long".

"Rebekah, we have to get out of here" Caroline said, grabbing Rebekah's hand.

"No, Caroline, wait, it's okay" Rebekah said.

"No, it's not okay" Caroline snapped, "Silas is out there, he made me think he was Klaus and--".

"Wait what?" Rebekah asked shocked, "What does Silas want from you?".

"He's trying to get to Aria" Caroline replied, "Do you know where Aria is?".

"If I knew where she was, I wouldn't bother with you" Rebekah replied, holding Caroline by her neck, "Now, get me Aria or I'll kill someone, maybe I'll start with yours and her mother".
