{This couple. Is my TVD life. That is all.}
'No time for goodbye, he said, as he faded away. Don't put your life in someone's hands; they're bound to steal it away.'
Caroline's hands shook as the bartender handed her her drink, she swished the liquid around, wishing she could become lost in it.
She had nothing.
No Tyler. No friends. Not even Klaus, which was strangely unsettling. She remembered Damon's words, "You're sick," They echoed around her, pounded inside her head, almost causing her to drop her glass, "You're useless." She slammed the glass on the table and some of the vodka spilled angrily from it as she repeated Damon's lasts words to her, "We'll never get another chance again."
'Don't try to hide your mistakes, because they'll find you. Burn you.'
Caroline sighed and ran her hands through her long hair, gripping her scalp and pulling roughly, trying to forget the emotions her past friends had caused her. She was so consumed with guilt and grief that she didn't even notice the man sitting next to her until he snatched her glass and raised it to his lips, winking at her before swallowing the entire contents.
'If you wanna get out alive, run for your life.'
"I'm not in the mood," Caroline hissed, staring ahead of her, ignoring his chuckle.
"I heard that baby vamp technically saved me," Kol laughed with no trace of humour, ordering another drink.
"Guilty as charged," Caroline swivelled in her chair and gave him her most sarcastic smile, "Glad I could save your tiny ass."
"Tiny?" He raised one eyebrow and blinked, shocked by her attitude, "Don't insult your elders. It's not polite."
She reached into her pocket and paid the bartender, lifting herself from her stool and swinging her bag over her shoulder, narrowly missing Kol's face.
"You could have just compelled him," Kol sighed in mock exasperation, "You're a shit vampire."
"I have a bit more humanity then you and your siblings," She whispered, anger clouding her vision as she imagined Kol's face to be a target.
"Don't you mean," Kol said, leaning closer to her and smirked, "Niklaus?"
'If you wanna get out alive, run for your life.'
The Grill became silent and the lyrics to the song pounded in Caroline's head, sending her a warning as the tempo increased, she folded her arms and stared at Kol.
"What do you want?"
"Now now, don't be presumptuous, my reasons for wanting you aren't the same as my wretched brothers, I want to know what your next plan of attack is. I assume you and the rest of the Scooby Doo gang have another pathetic one already in motion?"
"I'm no longer a member," Kol's eyes showed recognition but before she could see the storm rage in them she headed towards the exit.
When she knew she was out of sight she leant her back against the wall outside the restaurant and slowly slipped down to the floor, covering her head in her hands and willing herself not to cry.
1 week ago.
She hated the idea of being a distraction, his distraction, it felt wrong, so wrong, but her friends were depending on her, her boyfriend was, if she couldn't help end the Originals they'd never be free.
But that didn't stop the guilt inside of her, consuming her as she heard Klaus follow her outside the grill; she managed not to giggle at his boyish attempt of chasing her, almost getting hit by a car in the process.
She turned round, faking anger, trying not to see the humanity in his eyes when he looked at her, it made it so much harder. He asked her to give him a chance, get to know him, but what was the point when she was helping sign his death sentence?
"I want to get to know you," He said, a grin spreading across his lips at her shocked face.
No one had asked her that ever, everyone had always been so much more interested in Elena Gilbert; even Matt was still infatuated with her when they had dated and it was only a matter of time until Tyler succumbed to.
"Miss Mystic Falls," She said, making a list off her fingers on facts about her, she cocked her head and genuinely smiled at him, "But you already knew that."
Klaus laughed and nodded before motioning for her to continue.
"Vampire, yet again, you knew that too," She trailed off wishing to find something more interesting about her, wanting to impress him and then she felt disgusted of herself for it so she leant back on the bench and crossed her arms, shrugging her shoulders.
Feigning indifference to his constant stare.
"Your turn."
Silence loomed over them and she knitted her eyebrows together, staring at him confused, "Why are you so unwilling to say anything? So you get to know me-"
"You mentioned two already well know things Caroline," Her name rolled off his tongue and she shook off the feeling it gave her, feeling a sense of betrayal, "It's not really a fair trade."
"Fine," She huffed, "When I was six I found my Dad snogging another guy and asked him why Mum had gotten a sex change."
Klaus tried to control the roar of laughter which escaped his chest.
"It's not funny," She muttered stubbornly.
"Oh it is," Klaus said wiping a fake tear from his eye.
"My mum can be pretty masculine, it's not that hard to believe she'd do that," She rolled her eyes as Klaus held in another chuckle.
His laughter was beginning to infuriate her, making her actually like him, making her feel worse about her part in his demise.
"Now," She said seriously, keeping the smile from her face, "Your turn."
"Nothing beats that."
"Say something personal. Now."
He held his arms up in surrender and she stopped a giggle from escaping her lips, but he noticed, she knew he did, and his eyes practically lit up. If she was human she would have been blushing and so instead diverted her gaze to the ground, kicking a stone away from her.
"Fine love, calm down," He grinned and clasped his hands in front of him, "The first thing I did as a vampire was-"
"Kill everyone?"
"That's not decent, nor true, I killed people about three days after thank you," His smile faltered, "I'm not going to tell you now."
Caroline stuck her tongue out and whispered, "I swear I won't laugh."
His smirk returned and she loathed herself for feeling happy about it. What was wrong with her? She shook her head softly and tried to picture Tyler's face, but when it wouldn't swim to focus she sighed, having to settle with looking at Klaus instead.
"I compelled a man to give me a horse-"
"You're making that up," She smiled remembering their conversation outside his very own house only weeks ago.
"Stop making assumptions. I'm definitely not telling you now, and, believe me," he whispered, leaning close to her ear and she involuntarily shivered, she felt his smile spread across his lips as they made the briefest contact against her neck, "It was worse then your story."
"The first thing I did as a vampire," She said, devoid of emotion as she turned around to look him in the eye, "Was kill a man. Someone's son, maybe someone's father, husband or brother."
A tear slipped from her eye and she wiped it away before Klaus could even try, he let his raised hand fall to his side and she gasped as it held hers, his fingers intertwining with hers perfectly.
"It happens."
She detected sympathy in his words and squeezed his hand lightly before removing herself and running her hands through her hair, trying to stop the word's escaping her mouth.
The words that would ruin everything.
"They're going to attack Kol."
He immediately rose from the bench, the wind hitting his face making his snarl look even more vicious as he grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently, her head feeling like it would snap from her neck. But she didn't care. She deserved it.
"Where?" He roared, true anxiousness highlighting his features and Caroline held back a cry.
She remained silent and he shoved her aside, flashing off in his vampire speed to rescue his stupid brother.
Caroline Forbes watched in agony, wanting to help him.
Present.
"I don't believe you," Kol's voice emitted from the darkness and Caroline slammed her head against the wall causing it to crack, "I still don't believe you."
She sighed loudly and remained on the ground, even when Kol crouched down before her his hand tracing her cheek, she flashed her fangs, ready for an attack but his hands moved quickly to keep her pinned in place, "I am not my brother. Your immaturity won't intrigue me baby vamp."
"Nice to know it's my immaturity," She said pushing against his restraints as her panic increased, "Not just my body."
She was alone. In the dark. With an original. Wow, she was an idiot.
"I have an idea," Kol smiled sinisterly, "I can find out if your lying by taking this stake," He retrieved a stake from inside his pocket and positioned it near her chest, "And stabbing you with it."
Caroline let out a wailing scream and Kol laughed, "That's exactly what I want you to do, scream for me baby."
"You're sick," She spat and his brief disgust allowed her to free herself; he wiped his hand across his face and chased after her.
Caroline whipped down streets, Kol's loud footsteps crashing behind her, stalking her, scaring her. She rushed inside her house and turned round near the front door where Kol came to a shrieking halt.
"Naughty naughty," She cooed, "You're not invited."
The door slammed in his face.
She let out a breath and slumped against the wall, pulling her cardigan tighter around her as her whole body shook, she would have to seriously decide if it was worth leaving the house again with that monster outside.
"I'm sorry for my brothers' poor excuse of manners."
His voice shocked her and she shrieked, immediately running up the stairs in the briefest of seconds, collecting herself before returning to the stairway.
Klaus looked up to her from the bottom floor and she got the ridiculous idea of saying: "Romeo Romeo, where art thou Romeo." Klaus would appreciate the reinactment, he had been alive then, wow…..he's old. Instead she said casually, "Well I don't forgive either of you."
"I don't recall him apologizing."
"I don't think he will either."
A flicker of a smile ghosted itself on Klaus's lips and he took a step forward but Caroline held up a hand, a message indicating him to stop.
"Last time I saw you, you almost snapped my neck," She said leaning on the stairs, looking down at him.
"Last time I saw you, you almost killed me," He countered, menace in his eyes.
"Come for your revenge? I'm here, I'm waiting," She turned away and walked into her bedroom, he followed only seconds later, crossing her room to her nightstand, picking up a sheet of paper.
She moved quickly towards him and snatched it away from him embarrassed.
"That's my drawing."
"Well done," She said, tossing it to the other side of the room, pretending not to notice exactly where it had fallen.
"Why did you keep it?" He whispered gazing at her face, trying to read her.
She crossed her arms defiantly, "Why did you draw it?"
"Because I fancy you," He echoed the same words from before and she threw her arms up in the air, turning away from him.
"And I'm fall of light," She imitated him closing her eyes before facing him again, "My friend's have…..disowned me. Damon forbids me to see them-"
"Damon's an ass-"
"Bonnie hates me now-"
"Bonnie's annoying-"
"I don't even want to get started on how betrayed Elena feels-"
"Elena's conducting an affair between two brothers; she's the true definition of a betrayer-"
"Even Stefan refuses to acknowledge my existence and don't even get me started on Tyler, and don't you dare," She threatened taking a step closer to him, "Say anything bad about him. The others I can handle. Not him."
Klaus opened his mouth, jealously enraging him but Caroline pushed him against the wall, he remained there out of shock and curiosity, simply raising an eyebrow, infuriating her anger further.
"So if you've come here to get information, I'm of no use. Now stop stalking me and leave me alone. Everyone else has, because of you."
"Is that what you truly want Caroline?" He asked, removing her arms softly from his shoulders, stepping out of her grasp and turning her around so she was pressed against the wall instead, her chest rubbing against his, her small pants making his body shudder as his breath mingled with hers from their close proximity.
"Do you care?" She said softly not trying to move, secretly enjoying the feelings she felt at his touch.
"Do you want to be alone?"
"Do you?" She whispered as his arms brushed lightly against hers and she held her breath.
"I thought I'd made myself perfectly clear Caroline, I don't." He said moving a strand of hair back from her face, "Not anymore."
