This is the first fan fiction I've written, and I've been getting really into it! So I hope you guys will enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed creating it. This is just a chapter to introduce how Klaroline currently feels about each other, and their POV's are kind of like their writing in a journal. Just clarifying that for future reference, if I happen to do it again in other chapters (x Anyways, enjoy!

-Klaus POV-

I have resided on this earth for over a thousand years. You would think my thoughts would wander elsewhere rather than on someone who won't even give me the time of day. But unfortunately, that wasn't the case. All around me I hear I've taken quite an obsession over her. Though, who am I to be obsessed with anything other than my hybrids? The creation of them would ensure their loyalty through the sire bond. I wouldn't need to work as hard for the acceptance of them, which is exactly how the order of things should be. After all, I'm a part of the Original family. So why have I become so preoccupied with obtaining the acknowledgment of one mere girl?

For starters, perhaps it's the simple fact that she wasn't just a girl. She was Caroline Forbes. She was the kind of woman you don't just come across every century. I would know, because it's taken me 10 of them to find someone as grand as her. The part that lures me in the most? She doesn't even try. She is magnificent without any effort put in being so at all.

And the fact that I can hardly hold a conversation without her scoffing or rolling her eyes the other way only makes me strive for her interest more so. I am forever captivated, and it is far too late to turn back now.

-Caroline POV-

What's his deal? Can he not take a hint? I'm obviously happy with where my life is at right now. No boys, no drama. This was a first in my life and I'd like to enjoy it, thank you very much. Just because Tyler and I are broken up doesn't mean Klaus can suddenly step into the picture and try to woo me every chance he gets. He seems to think that because he's an Original, he can win me over as easily as a snap of his fingers. But I won't give him the satisfaction of that. Expensive gifts won't buy me, and compulsion would be a low blow, even for him.

His voice may make me melt and his smirk may drive me wild, but that still doesn't change the evident facts right in front of me. As charming as he's playing out to be, it's all an obvious act. He is a monster. He is ruthless, and arrogant, and puts all of my friends in the risk of being in danger. If he thinks a few slick lines can carve his way into my heart, he's sadly mistaken.

-No One's POV-

Klaus was sitting at the bar in the Mystic Grill, patiently awaiting the lovely Caroline. Of course she had never agreed to meet him there. But he thought since this seemed to be the typical hang out for everyone at Mystic Falls, she would be bound to walk in at some point.

After 3 hours of tortured waiting, she finally entered the Grill. She was in a red sundress and had just swept her sunglasses from her eyes and let them rest on top of her head as her curly waves flowed from either side of them. The sight of her caused a smile to play along Klaus' lips, and after downing the rest of the scotch in his glass, he made his way over to the table she had just settled down on.

"Caroline, just the person I was hoping to run into." Klaus said as he took a seat in front of her. He gave her a charming smile, which she returned with a furrowed brow.

"What the…" She said aloud as she looked around her, wondering where he had come from. "Were you waiting around here or something?" She questioned in confusion, looking back towards him.

He shrugged. "What's a few hours when you've lived a thousand years? I have an unimaginable amount patience. Especially towards you."

Her face slightly scrunched up in disgust before replying, "Congratulations, you've reached a whole new level of creepy." He chuckled at the insult which only seemed to annoy Caroline. "What do you want, Klaus?"

"Just a moment of your time, love. Have you gotten anything in the mail lately?" He questioned with a cheeky smile.

She sighed in exasperation. "If you're talking about the billions of letters you've sent me, then yes, I have."

"Now I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, don't you? Though I could gladly send you that many if you wish."

She rolled her eyes. But she had done it so often, that at this point it no longer fazed Klaus. "No, I'd really rather you didn't. And by me not replying to any of the ones you have sent, I would think that by now you'd have gotten a clue."

The amusement on his face never faltered. "So much hostility. My intentions have been nothing more than trying to get to know you, Caroline." He pulled out an envelope from the inside pocket of his jacket, sliding it across the table towards her. "Last one, I promise. As long as you proceed with what it says, I'll stop mailing you anymore. You have my word."

"Wouldn't it just be easier to compel me and get whatever it is you're trying to do over with?"

"Yes, it would be a great deal easier. But there would be no fun in that. There would be no chase. And it's all about the chase, if I'm not mistaken." A smirk crept up on his face.

Caroline stared at the envelope, then back up at Klaus. She waited a few moments in silence, not wanting to give in. But realizing he was far from backing down, she scoffed and shook her head, grabbing the envelope. "You're impossible." She opened it up to find the following message written neatly in his calligraphy:

I saved your life; the least I can get in return is the honor of accompanying you to dinner.

Don't worry about your attire; I've taken up the courtesy of putting together a fitting ensemble.

A chauffeur will be sent to pick you up at 8.

Until then, I will be patiently awaiting your arrival.

-Klaus

"You've gotta be kidding me." Caroline began. But once she looked up, he was nowhere in sight. She groaned with frustration, though she knew he was right. He had saved her life. When Tyler bit her, it was his blood and his blood alone that could heal the wound. Still, that doesn't take away from the horrible things he's done to all of her friends. But if she wanted Klaus to stop bothering her, she decided that she could survive through one dinner, and hopefully he'd leave her alone for good.

Hope you guys liked it! Chapter 2 should come out very shortly. I've finished writing it, and I'm currently just editing and making a few changes. Until then, it'd be great to get some reviews to let me know what you guys think! xoxo
