Klaus already broke his hybrid curse with Katherine and Elijah found away to keep her alive so Klaus has her Blood to make Hybrids and had no need for Elena
She ran through the woods with tears falling down her face. Why was this happening to her. She started to think about where she was when she tripped over a tree stump and tumbling down cutting her knee. She brought her knees to her chest and hugged them letting the rain smash down on her.
Klaus was walking in the woods when the rain started to pick up so he decided it was about time to turn back, but he smelt the fresh smell of blood. Human blood. He followed it to an opening and saw a little girl hugging her self in the rain with a cut up knee. This wouldn't be the first kid he killed but there was something about her that made him not want to even hurt her. He walked pasted the trees and knelt down next to her "hello" he said moving her beautiful blonde her from her face then he saw her eyes which were blue as the sky on a clear day.
"Hi" she spoke up looking at Klaus nervously "my mom says not to talk to strangers."
This made Klaus smile and hold out his hand from her to shake "I'm Niklaus but you can call me Nik" he stuttered. Niklaus was the name his father gave him so he absolutely hated it and he didn't want a little cutie like her calling him that.
"Caroline Forbes"
"Well Caroline I guess were not strangers anymore" he smiled rubbing her hair.
"I guess not" she laughed at his cuteness.
"Why are you sad Caroline" he was genially caring for her well-being.
"My dad left my mom today for his boyfriend" klaus was taken back. Her dad turn gay. He tried not to laugh. "She won't leave her room and look at me because she says in a spitting image of him." Caroline threw herself in Klaus's arms crying in his shoulder. He didn't know what to do so he just sat there and patted her back.
"Why are you sad Nik" caroline asked wiping her tears sitting next to him playing with the bottom of her dress.
"What makes you think I'm sad Care-bear" she smiled at the nick name he gave her and poked his dimple.
"I see it in your eyes...you seem lonely" she answered leaning her head on his shoulder waiting for his answer.
"How old are you Caroline"
"9 years old"
"Well do you want to know what I see when I look in your eyes" klaus asked trying to change the subject. This little girl was smart for her age she'd out shinned the rest of the kids her age. "I see a girl who is smart, kind, beautiful strong and full of light...you're life is to short for it to be filled with sorrow."
She stood up and kissed his cheek softly "thank you Nik. You're my new best friend" caroline hugged his back wrapping her arms around his neck.
Klaus giggled and stood up with her on his back "can I walk you home caroline."
"Yes" she answered weakly putting her face in his neck and fell asleep.
Klaus would have vamp ran to her house but he didn't want her to know what he was and he wanted to spend more time with her. Caroline was so small but has the biggest heart he has ever seen she reminded him of his sister Rebekah in an away wearing her heart on her sleeve. He climbed up to her window and he gently shook her "Caroline can you invite me inside."
"Of corse Nik come in" she said weakly falling back to sleep quickly. He laid her down and kiss her forehead
"See you later sweetheart" he whispered before jumping out her window disappearing into the night.
