Author's Note: I have missed a lot of the Vampire Dairies, but in the short time that I've come to love the show, Stefan and Elena have been my main interest. Therefore, if I continue to write, I'll dabble with Stelena. And the most recent episode pulled on a few heartstrings, especially with Klaus and Caroline. And that's why you're reading this. Enjoy.
Honesty
Abandoned.
Excluded.
Alone.
His mind races through childhood memories, painful stabs of regret and remorse injure his very soul.
He can't help but acknowledge this as the stunning blonde tells him what no one has.
The truth.
Her blue eyes pierce through his momentarily, seeming to ask: "Why must you stay and implicate my life?"
Klaus has seen that look countless times.
She disentangles the worthless bracelet that he'd given her from her wrist and throws it to the floor.
Watching her walk away, his empty heartbeat reverberating in his ears, he acquires instantly that she's not coming back.
That is when the bitter silence creeps back in.
I love you, Caroline.
An exasperated sigh escapes her lips as soon as her bedroom door shuts.
Why did I even agree to go with Klaus tonight?
He'll never change.
He's a cold, heartless hybrid; why would he care to let to Tyler free from all of this?
Glancing up, she catches a glimpse of her reflection in her mirror.
Change.
Precisely what her father wanted from her.
Her father, her flesh and blood, wanted to alter her very existence, no matter what the cost.
Her eyes wander to the box on her bed and it doesn't even surprise her.
What, yet another lavish piece of jewelry to persuade her?
Him and his munificent gifts—
Opening it, her eyes softened, captivated by the beauty of it.
She holds in her hand a picture, beautifully drawn by Niklaus himself, that melts her heart.
Not even his cogent compulsion could make her feel this way.
Thank you for your honesty.
Klaus
Author's Note: Very rushed and inadequate this was, yes. Just what I thought might be running through their minds, although I fear this was pointless. But this came from pure inspiration when Klaus drew the picture of Caroline and the horse; it made me "Aw!" and I realized how much I loved seeing his soft side. Leave a review and let me know what you thought and if you want me to write more Klaus and Caroline. Because I might continue this story and make it full of Klaroline one-shots/drabbles. Also, it's most likely that I will write Stelena so stick around for that if you like. Thanks!
Always,
