Secrets of the Soul
Chapter 1 – Unspoken confessions
Klaus was on his way to the Grill when, as usual, his feet took him to the person he cared for the most. Although he had never nor probably ever will admit it out loud, he knew that in the black hole that used to claim his heart is filled with her unyielding light to his darkness.
The Forbes' house was quiet, meaning Liz Forbes, her mother was working. He could hear her faint heart beat with his enhanced hearing and it sent his head spinning. He silently cursed himself for letting her effect him that but she consumed his every thought. Everything she did filled him with a longing that wasn't just physical.
Even when she was throwing everything he did back in his face, all he could think about was holding her tight and telling her he really thought of her and how his whole being suddenly started revolving around her as soon as she had fed on him and he saved her. He needed Caroline Forbes like he needs blood. Like without her he would desiccate and be empty. And he wanted her body, mind and soul, but he knew he could never have her. But he still never gave up on trying.
He cared for her so much and it enveloped him in emotions that he shut out for over one thousand years and it over-whelmed him. It was more than anything he had ever felt before, even when he was human. But he didn't know the extent of these feeling until tonight.
Caroline had had a bad day, no bad week. She had found out that Tyler cheated on her when he went to invoke the sire bond, with a werewolf called Hailey and then decided to run away with her half a year later. She thought that she would be angry or distraught or any other normal kind of emotion that you should be feeling but it never came. She actually felt sort of relieved. She could lie to herself and say she didn't why she felt this way but she knew. It was because of another certain hybrid. Today, the girls and Stefan fused over her, thinking she was in denial, which she was just not over Tyler. It was about her feelings for Klaus.
He was supposed to be the bad guy and she was supposed to hate him, but to her he wasn't and she didn't. She has never seen his bad side. All she saw was dimpled smiles, thoughtful if too OTT and expensive gifts, and romantic horse drawings.
She saw humanity in him because he chose to show it to her. She also saw someone wounded, alone and scared. She saw herself in him.
And this is why she had a bad week, she had feelings for Klaus; strong ones that get stronger by the minute. Its not like she can even ask her best friends what she should do. They would think she was crazy. So she turned to the only thing that she could. Elena and Stefan had diaries, Ric and Damon had alcohol, Matt was the last human so had humanity, Bonnie had spells and magic and Jeremy had Bonnie. Caroline… Caroline had music.
