"Niklaus, do you know what you are doing?" Elijah stood in front of the fireplace of Mikaelson mansion in Mystic Falls; his back was facing Klaus, his voice slow and calculating. Klaus thought that it reminded him of that calculation bastard on the TV show about space. What was his name? Ahh- Spock. Yeah, that calculating idiot. Klaus just rolled his eyes; he has heard it all before.
"Elijah, I know it's dangerous, but... I love her, Elijah. I've never felt this way before and that scares me. Have you ever seen me like this before?" Klaus walked in front of Elijah and looked him in the eyes before going and getting a drink to try to clear his mind. Elijah turned and looked at Klaus.
"I'll admit, Niklaus, that Caroline Forbes is really good for you. You're more open to negotiation. You're happier and smarter in a way, but by letting Tyler come back, isn't that going to make the Hayley situation a bit difficult?" Klaus understood where his brother was coming from, but he just wants Caroline happy and if that means sacrificing his own selfish worry freeish life, then he's okay with that. He loves her.
"Elijah, I don't care. I'll deal with that. I don't want to be with Hayley. I want to be with Caroline, however long that takes." Elijah has never seen Klaus so in love with someone. He's kind of shocked.
"Does Caroline even know about Hayley?" Klaus' head snapped towards Elijah. He's thought about it, vaguely, but...
"It's not going to matter, because when Hayley has this child, she'll leave mostly like and then I will be with Caroline. It's not like Caroline is going to change her mind about me, fall in love with me and then move to New Orleans in 6 months." Elijah simply smiled.
"Yes, brother, but I get the feeling that she may be closer than you think. We will just have to wait and see." Elijah walked upstairs and then he heard his door close. Klaus used that time to start on a new painting. He picked up the brush and dipped it in paint. He guided the brush along the canvas slowly, making the lines nice and concise. He heard a knock from the door. He gently placed the brush down and opened the door. He was shocked as to who it was.
"Katherine. What are you doing here?" Katherine looked at Klaus as if it was obvious. Klaus just simply stared at her, waiting for her to say it.
"I'm here to see Elijah. Is he here?" Klaus smiled and closed the door without saying anything and walked upstairs to Elijah's room. Klaus saw Elijah sitting on his beloved chair, reading a book that looked like it was Pride and Prejudice. Ironic.
"Elijah, someone wishes to see you." Elijah looked up from his book to look at Klaus.
"Who?" he asked and then looked back down at his book as if he actually didn't care who was at the door.
"Katherine." At that name, Elijah looked up, placed the book on the chair and walked downstairs. Klaus was heading down the stairs, but just so happened to hear Elijah tell Katherine,
"You hurt me, Katherine. You don't care for anyone but yourself. You are just a lonely, selfish person. Eventually everyone will leave you if you don't start caring for others. I don't want to see you again, Katherine. Get out of my face." Klaus watched as Elijah pushed passed him and into his room, closing his door rather harshly. Klaus went downstairs and didn't see Katherine there so went back to painting. After was seemed like an hour, he heard a knock at the door again.
"Katherine, Elijah doesn't want to see you." Klaus muttered as he headed towards the door and saw something he didn't expect. He simply blinked mouth agape.
"I'm not Katherine, I came to see you, Klaus"
"Caroline…"
