Well hello there! So I've decided to continue A Kiss for A Kill for a few reasons. (1) I wanted to, (2) I've been asked more than once to continue it, and (3) I am still hopelessly and depressingly uninspired to continue my other fictions. Those of you who have been waiting for me to update those stories, I am so sorry I have let you down. I have not given up though, I'm just a perfectionist so I refuse to upload anything I'm not completely satisfied with.
Anyway, THANK YOU to everyone who has favorited me and followed me. THANK YOU for all the wonderful reviews I received on my multi-fics and my oneshots. Seriously, you all are so wonderful and kind to me and you all give me reasons to smile and laugh when I've had a boring day.
Alright, enough chatter.
Happy reading.

The sun was at its highest and the skies were clear as Caroline jogged through Mystic Fall's town square. Even with the minimal clothing she was wearing, running shorts, sports bra and tank top, beads of sweat formed on her body because the Virginian heat was unforgiving.
She groaned as she quickened her pace, wondering why on earth would she decide to go for a run outside on such a hot day but then she remembered her exact reason. Because, in less than a week I'll be leaving with a man I love but have known for like ten seconds!
The thought made her uneasy so she had chosen to go for a quick jog to clear her mind. Was she crazy? It was only last week that she died, hit from a car, again, and then got turned into a vampire, again. It was only last week did he come back into town and in less than three days she had given herself completely to him. Granted she knew that vampires got to play by different rules, but even she knew that they were moving extremely fast.
She jogged past the grill and she remembered the expression of Tyler's face when she told him she was with Klaus, that she loved Klaus. She remembered how hurt and angry he was and how she never really got any closure from him. He just left. And then she got hit by a car.
As soon as she cut into the woods she took off running at vampire speed and for the first time in a long time she felt strong. I can do this. I meant what I said. I love him.

Klaus set down his phone and let out loud breath. According to Elijah, the situation in New Orleans was more serious than he anticipated. Still, he was set on reclaiming his town and so he would, with Caroline at his side. Now that she was his, he was determined more than ever to keep her with him. The past week had proven how taken he was with her and he knew that she was meant to be loved by him and only him.
The thought of her with anyone else made his jaw tighten and his fists clench. He sensed that she was nervous about her decision but he was confident that once they were in New Orleans she would be happy and without worry.
He walked through the hallways of his mansion and made his way into the kitchen for a drink. At the same moment, Caroline entered through the side entrance. She still had her earphones in and she still hadn't seen Klaus.
Taking it as an opportunity, Klaus smirked and crept up behind her while she busied herself with getting a bottle of water from the fridge.
Even though her playlist was still buzzing, Caroline was deep in thought, so deep that when she felt his arms wrap around her from behind she let out a little scream that she muffled with clenched teeth.
"Hello, love," Klaus crooned in her ear and then chuckled.
She turned in his arms and mustered up her most aggravated look. "Hello yourself. You scared me," she chastised.
Klaus arched his eyebrow. "What has you so consumed in your thoughts that you couldn't sense me behind you?"
Caroline stayed silent while he took her in.
"Having second thoughts?" he asked, truly concerned.
"No. Yes," she paused, "No, maybe." She walked out of his arms and he frowned. "This is a big step for me, you realize that, right?"
"Yes." He crossed his arms in front of him and leaned against the counter. For a moment they just stared at each other and it was in these moments that they both acknowledged that they were still getting to know each other. "Caroline," he began, "You do know that I won't allow any harm come to you, right?"
"Yes," she answered but then took a sip of water, tearing her eyes away from him.
He strode over to her and gently grasped her chin to make her look at him. "Do you believe it?"
Caroline gazed back at him and by his expression she could tell he was serious. It was probably the most serious she had ever seen him. "Yes I believe it. Yes I believe you," she emphasized.
He nodded and then cradled her face. "You're my world now, Caroline. You will always be safe with me. Always."
His words were so comforting to her, she couldn't help but smile up at him. Their tense moment now gone. He leaned in to kiss her but she pulled away. His look of confusion prompted her to explain quickly. "I'm sweaty and gross," she laughed.
He grinned at her wickedly and then suddenly crushed her against his body. He threaded his fingers in her tied hair and angled her head to the side. "Mmmm and I want to devour you," he purred in her ear. He then dragged his tongue along the side of her neck and she moaned.
Caroline tugged on his necklaces and brought his mouth down to hers and all her worries were forgotten. The way he kissed her, how he held her, the sounds he made, it was mind-numbing. A second later she felt the cool sensation of silk sheets on her back as he pressed her into his bed.
:
Caroline laid wide awake as Klaus slept, his head on her bare stomach and his arm draped over her hips. He had made love to her until the sun went down and in their moments of pure bliss Caroline had never felt more sure. She loved him and she was willing to be by his side.
Still, plunging into the unknown kept her from finding peace. She knew he wouldn't let anything bad happen to her and for that she was grateful. She knew he would protect her but she also knew that the one thing he couldn't protect her from were her own thoughts.
**And thus endeth Chapter One. I'm really excited about writing this fic and I hope you all are excited to read it.
Please review! I accept rants, predictions, criticism and compliments. Haha
Much love. :]
