"Save me a dance.
Fondly,
Klaus."
If she was a human, then her heart would have skipped a beat. Staying close to him would always leave her to deal with a mixture of unknown emotions.
She stared at that invitation for almost a minute before she let out an angry huff. He dared to send her invitation for ball. And glittery blue evening dress.
Sure.
Caroline had gotten another chance to stab the bastard, and so she was planning to make use of it.
After all those years of cat and mouse game, they were here. In the Mystic Falls. Where Caroline settled down to find that Original Hybrid at the tip of White Oak blade she made exclusively for him.
That was because they both had past.
Caroline recalled the darkest night of her life—the moment she heard the whole castle burnt into flames—the moment she swore to kill him learning he was the reason behind that.
He was a monster.
Caroline was not well at that time so, she stayed back while their parents and siblings went to the royal castle where a ball was arranged. She remembered how much she waited for her parents to return.
But they never did.
At last her parents' fears came true.
Klaus and his siblings are like walking plague, luring people around them into death traps. Everyone knew that. Her parents hesitated to attend at first and Caroline heard them while discussing about the Mikaelson siblings, and there was something wrong with them, her parents had thought.
Though, Klaus was the only one visiting the castle that night.
When Caroline got confirmation she needed, she decided to find a way to kill him.
She made an oath not to rest until she killed him.
Mortality was one of the obligations she had.
So, she turned dark.
To hunt a monster she became one. She turned into a vampire. But she never regretted for what she had become.
This is to avenge her family.
Staring at the dress she remembered how she turned into vampire.
Katerina, the lady, who was running from Klaus before Caroline's family was killed. When they met, Katherine seemed to go blank listening to Caroline's story. Caroline's anger caused her amusement though.
Caroline remembered Katherine's words before she fed blood to Caroline and snapped neck.
"Hunting Klaus is something I never heard of." Katherine chuckled, nudging plate on the table towards Caroline. "No one can find Klaus unless if he wants."
"Believe me, would you, if I say I will be the one to find him first." Caroline was clearly shaking in pure rage and agony.
"Vengeance consumed you, Caroline." Katherine stated with chuckle, after a moment of observation. "You speak like one." She squinted at the blonde. "Must you be fully aware of what you are asking and keep this in mind when you wake up I won't be here to guide you." Katherine stood up and began to circle around the table. "I will be gone by that time. You should learn things on your own. And it won't be as easy as it appears."
Caroline paid attention to every single word. She was grateful that Katherine accepted to turn her into one of them. That was more than enough.
When it comes to the things after her transformation Caroline didn't think of that. She intended to kill that Original or die in the process.
Looking up at Katherine she nodded with a lot of determination.
Transition was the hardest phase in Caroline's life. Katherine took her into the forest as per her wish and fed her blood before snapping her neck. Of course, she was given a lapis lazuli necklace to prevent herself from burning. When Caroline woke up all she could find were animals and that failed to fill her lust. Unfortunately she killed a hiker on the way and repented for almost days, curling up alone near tree.
Katherine was true. It stung like bitch and Caroline remembered every moment of that darkness.
She worked hard by herself to get to Klaus.
To get an enemy one had to learn every part of their moves. Katherine told the same thing. And for almost a century Caroline worked out on it, but Klaus being one of the Oldest ones he was step ahead. Like always.
Come on. The man who had been outsmarting his lunatic step-father for centuries would definitely keep tabs on people who pose threat.
That was how he caught her for first time, in the beginning of 1600s.
She remembered that day like just fine. At that time she was standing behind the tree and watched Klaus walking into Earl's residence. There was too much of security, and Caroline preferred to wait outside. And that exactly didn't go as she planned...
Caroline thought Klaus would leave by the evening and his carriage was prepared, but he didn't show up. It was dark yet there was no sign of him. Sticking to her plan Caroline kept waiting there.
And then—she heard breaking sound of a twig behind her.
Sensing someone's presence behind Caroline turned around and took a whiff of his cologne. Immediately there was alert in her posture. Caroline, who by that time began wearing men clothing in order to attract less attention, took out wooden dagger from her coat and sped to him, aiming his chest.
Klaus was faster, and he swiftly halted her by grasping her hand. Chuckling coldly, he asked, "Going for obvious kill?" His iron like grip made her to squirm in pain. Klaus then made a sound as if he newly discovered something. She gathered all her will against him and freed herself. Pushing him against one of massive trees Caroline growled lunging for his chest blindly, to rip out his heart. "No so fast." He said gleefully before he blurred towards her and snapped her neck.
Her limp body fell on the ground after that.
And when she snapped her eyes open she found herself in some dungeon, being restrained up with—ugh—vervain chains. Blood was oozing from her wrists and creeping all the way down to her elbows. Hanging her head low to checked out her appearance and found that few of her garments have been removed. She was left with breeches and white shirt which she wore under doublet. Boots were disposed as well leaving her in stockings. Suddenly she began to feel weak and was in desperate need to feed.
She didn't pay attention to anything until she heard her enemy's voice purring in front of her, spreading echoes throughout the place.
"Look who is awake!" Klaus walked to her with his hands clasped at back. The torches around the place gave her a better view of him—her enemy. Even with the little energy that was left inside her she attempted to let out a growl and moved a little. "Quite a wild cat, you are love." His lips bent into teasing smile. "Must I admit your actions, back there in the forest, has taken me by surprise. Please enlighten me with your argument."
She had nothing to say.
Pretty simple.
She only wanted her revenge, and he should be dead.
Caroline glowered at him without opening her mouth. The smile on his face seemed to vanish slowly. Of course, it only proved people's point—that he was not a very patient man. Now that smirk crept to her lips as soon as Klaus began to treat her with dark gaze. "Are you or are you not going to start speaking?" he asked again in clear cold tone. When she still didn't do as he asked, he merely feigned a smile while shrugging his shoulders. "I see you have made up your mind." He droned going for her wooden stake which was kept aside on a table. He inspected it keenly.
And he made up his. He decided to kill her, and Caroline was not even prepared to the slightest. At the beginning of her hunt she thought it was either do or die. As the days passed she fixed her mind to do it—to kill him at any point. So there was no way she would die before him.
"Do it." She opened her mouth for the first time in his presence, trying to mislead him. "Kill me. That is what you are good at."
Klaus let out a huff of smile with no lightness in it. "Oh, believe me. I am good at many more things which you cannot even imagine." Her brows knitted up in confusion and her eyes narrowed as he made way towards her. "Though I want to rip out that heart of yours and clean your existence at once, I am not willing to do it." He pressed the sharp end of that piece of wood against her cheek as that sadistic smirk was back to his face. "It would be such a waste of pretty little thing."
Caroline let out another growl under breath and forced her face away from that wood as it began to give itching sensation on that particular area. Moreover that smile of Klaus was irritating her like anything. She wanted to plunge her teeth into his neck and suck energy out of him before ripping his heart out then setting his body of fire. That was currently running in her mind though. It would be different once she gets her hands on him.
"I can compel information from you," he raised his brows, "but then that vervain amount in your blood—" he ended sentence letting out a huff. "I really wish I could have another choice, love." He said in rather unapologetic tone. He pressed his lips to her temple and Caroline felt him smirking against her skin which only frustrated her further while his close proximity was distracting her somewhat. "Perhaps if we met in another circumstances—" he murmured more to himself and stabbed her in stomach.
A sharp pain ignited and she screamed feeling it spread all over her body. The tiny splinters of wood were hurting her insides causing water leaking from her eyes. All the blood loss, the pain—everything was too much to handle. Soon she started to lose her conscious again and then his alluring voice resounded: "We shall meet again, love."
