TVD: What If Klaus Had Killed Caroline In The Ritual?

Hello, Love...

              I know this seems unthinkable to all Klaroline shippers but if Damon hadn't interfered and saved Caroline and Tyler then a lot would have changed really. If Damon didn't decide to be a hero and save Tyler and Caroline from Klaus's ritual to break the Hybrid Curse on him then Caroline would be gone and Tyler also and he was Mystic Falls' only werewolf. So what would that mean for the town?

Love bites

          Well for certain Elena would have been brought back to life because no one knew that John had Bonnie perform a spell that gave Elena his life force. But she would have buried Tyler, Caroline, and John instead of Jenna. Stefan would also probably have left town with Klaus because I feel Damon would have been bitten anyway as Jules was with Tyler and she would have turned into a wolf and a werewolf's instinct is to hunt down vampires. So Stefan would have gone to Klaus for the cure and have turned ripper. But still they would have ended back in Mystic Falls and discover that Elena was alive and that her blood was the key to making hybrids.

I would melt if he whispered in my ear

           What would this mean for Klaus's love life? I keep wanting Elena and Klaus to get together. If Klaus had killed Jenna then no way would Elena ever even think of having a romance with Klaus. But Jenna would have been alive so Klaus's flirtations would have been downgraded to annoying. Yet would Elena have entertained the idea? We know that Klaus can be charming and romantic when he wants to be. Elena would have made him work for it. Initially I think Klaus would have pursued Elena purely for sex. He slept with Katherine I think he would have found it fun to compare the two of them. However, Elena isn't that type of girl. Klaus would have fallen for her like Damon and I believe Elena would see that Klaus wasn't such an evil guy. He would have opened up to her and she would listen and point out his faults. So given that Klaus is a possessive kind of guy, very territorial, he'd want Elena to continue the Petrova line but hate the guy who helped her with this. I think Klaus would wait until Elena had enough kids or he had enough hybrids that he wouldn't need Elena's doppelgänger blood. Or maybe he would find a way to keep her young and her blood useful some way by use of a witch's spell. Perhaps he has an extra coffin somewhere?

"Go to hell"
Them's flirtin' words

             As for Elena's romance with Stefan and Damon? Well certainly Klaus's interest would have posed a threat to Stefan and Damon. Stefan especially would have been jealous. Like Tyler I think he would have been absolutely irate. As Klaus and Stefan's bromance was doomed to fail either way I don't see how Klaus's desire for Elena would have made the crash any smoother. Damon would have been worse in his jealousy. Stefan's his brother but Klaus? No way Damon would have allowed Klaus to win Elena's heart without coming to blows. But would Elena go for Klaus? I think she would have pitied him. Elena has a deep sympathetic heart that can't help but love the cursed and the damned. I think she would have done what Caroline had done and try to get Klaus to understand that his behavior is only going to make him end up alone, which is his biggest fear. 

Elena's not into bondage or the hostage/kidnapper role-play

           Klaus was ready to settle in Mystic Falls and although Tyler was the only werewolf in town, Klaus would have brought others to the town and create his army. I have no doubt that Mikail would have showed up; most likely it would have been at the behest of Stefan, Damon, and Katherine, but they would have failed I believe. So Klaus would still be alive and his mother also would have tried to kill him but she would have failed also. Yet what about Alaric? Esther had turned him into an Original Vampire bound to Elena. Would Klaus have let Elena die? Like when Klaus bit Caroline but then healed her, I think Klaus would have saved Elena and Alaric would have died anyway. 

Baby I love it when you treat me rough. Ouch!
Too hard!

          If Elena became a vampire? Klaus's hybrids, he realized later, were a failed experiment. I think he would have pursued Elena even more relentlessly because she was immortal. Oh but Elena was sired to Damon! Would that have deterred Klaus? Nope. Klaus told Caroline that he would wait for her to find out what she wanted and let her live her life but he intended to be her last love, the one that lasted forever. 

I know it seems toxic but who wouldn't swoon
if Klaus said this to you?

          So basically I think Elena and Klaus would have gone the way he did with Caroline. They would have an interesting albeit violent courtship but they would have ended on good terms with Klaus promising to wait for her. Klaus would have been another knight in shining armor for Elena just as Stefan and Damon are willing to protect Elena, Klaus would have done the same. I really want to see Nina Dobrev play Tatia in a flash back on The Originals because I love their interesting chemistry.
