Scene from "Heart of Darkness" (3x19):

Tyler saw the drawing Klaus made for Caroline on her dresser and picked it up. "Klaus drew this for you?"

"Huh?" She replied holding the pillows and blankets for him.

"That's pretty creepy." He states while looking at it. Caroline walked over to Tyler.

"Yeah, Klaus is pretty creepy. Even when he's trying to be charming." She scoffed.

"Charming? Does Klaus have a thing for you or something?" He questioned.

"No, as far as I'm concerned, he is incapable of real feelings." She defended.

"I'm serious. What the hell happened while I was gone?" He said as his voice started to rise.

"Tyler. Nothing. Nothing happened." She said trying to calm him down.

"Then why'd you keep this?" He continued to question her.

"I don't know!" She shrugs in an almost laughing tone. With that Tyler left and found another place to sleep, leaving Caroline sad and hurt.

Caroline remained upset for the rest of the night, she cried in her bed for a while then decided to go for a walk. She walked past her dresser and grabbed the drawing Klaus made for her. She walked out her front door, trying to hold back the tears that Tyler caused. Caroline vampire sped away to the dark woods and walked into the grave where her birthday was held. She lit the lanterns that were in the tomb and then sat on one of the benches and read the little paper. "Thank you for your honesty. ~Klaus"

She stared at it for a little while and then ripped it in half aggressively. She started to tear again and continued ripping it to shreds. With every rip she mumbled "I hate you" and other foul words.

"Sweetheart, it's not kind to rip of gifts." A voice from behind her said. She knew that was his British accent, so she instantly wiped her tears and jolted up. She didn't turn around to face him. "It's also rude to talk behind someone's back." He said in an almost hurt voice.

She turned around to face him. Klaus looked her up in down, she was in a tank top and pajama pants, which made a slight smile appear on him. The smile quickly faded when she angrily threw the ripped up paper at him. "You ruin everything! Just leave me alone, please." She yelled trying to hold back the tears in her eyes. She tried to push past him, but he grabbed her arm. She looked at him sad, but angry and she could see that he was also upset. They held an intense stare for a few seconds, until Klaus looked away.

"Let go of me!" She mumbled out, breaking the hold he had on her and continued to walk out into the woods.

"Caroline." Klaus said in almost a broken tone. She ignored him, so he blurred over to stop her in her tracks. He started to walk backwards as she continued to walk. "Come on, take a chance Caroline!" He said with those puppy eyes.

"You've already used that phrase." She said; this time she did stop walking and folded her arms. They were standing in front of the tree where Tyler bit her. She looked to her left and almost vividly remembered the scene. She flinched and Klaus picked up on it.

"What's wrong love?" He asked, actually in a caring tone. She just glared at him. To him it felt like daggers just pierced him. She body around and her hair brushed his face. He enjoyed the scent of it and followed her back to the tomb. "Caroline, come on, get to know me!" It sounded like he was begging, but she ignored him. Instead she sat down again on the same bench and stared at the floor. She was thinking about Tyler. How he bit her and how he just walked out on her an hour ago. She was furious at both of them and then something clicked in her head.

"What the hell are you doing here anyways?" She snapped at him. Again the tears were swelling in her eyes, but she refrained from crying.

"Well love you did say I was creepy." He laughed.

"Oh my God, you were eavesdropping on us!" She stood up and threw her arms to her side. "Wha- How- Why?" She started yelling. Her face was boiling with rage.

"You know you, when you yell you look absolutely stunning." He said with small smile on his face. Caroline continued to stare at him in anger. Klaus then avoided eye contacted and looked around. "Love-"

"Stop calling me that." She said sternly.

"Caroline" He paused. "Why did you come to this dreaded tavern of all places?" He asked raising a brow. He looked over at her and noticed she was sitting back down. He walked past her and then took the seat on her side. He titled his head a bit and waited for a response. She averted his gaze and started to cry a little bit. She opened her lips as if she was going to say something then closed them quickly. She straightened her posture and then turned to him. She didn't expect him to be so close to her, and she honestly didn't mind.

"Because of you…Tyler left me." She said while sniffling.

"Well sweetheart, you should know he's an idiot." Klaus started to say in a hushed tone. "He must be blind for he can't see how beautiful and perfect you are." A smile started to form on his face. Caroline closed her eyes and looked down starting to cry harder. She felt ridiculous for crying in front of him. "Listen love," Klaus whispered. He used his right hand to caress her cheeks and used his left hand to move the blond hair strands stuck to her face. She opened her eyes and again shared intense eye contact. His green-blue eyes were sending the message that he cared, and her bright blue eyes revealed that she did too. "You're beautiful, strong and full of light. If Tyler can't see that, then he isn't worthy of you." She looked at him with tears welling in her eyes and then quickly slapped her mind into reality.

"And you are?" She said in a stern tone and broke off the stare while knocking his hand away. She wiped her tears away, but for some reason they kept coming.

"Caroline. Get to know me, I dare you! You won't be disappointed." He said and scooted closer to her. "I'll let you in on a little secret." He leaned in to tell her. She just titled her head and gave a faint smile.

"Let me guess," She started to say. She took a breath and battered her eyelashes at him. "There's a whole world out there for me." She said with a smile.

"I love it when you smile." Klaus leaned back and smiled himself. The two laughed a bit and looked at each other with caring gazes. Klaus reached into his pea-coat pocket without breaking eye contact. "I believe this is yours." He slightly moved his eyes to the shiny bracelet he was holding in front of her. The light from the candles were making the bracelet sparkle a tint of gold. Caroline just stared at it, but then jumped up a bit when she felt something touch her hand. She quickly looked down to see that Klaus's hand was holding it. She felt chills go down her body, and at the same time he felt it too. He turned her palm open face and dropped the bracelet into it. Both of them were staring at it. "Please, keep it this time sweetheart." Hearing him say that made her close her hand around the bracelet.

"Thank you." She said quietly and softly. Her tears now seemed to stop and she felt genuinely happy. In her mind she kept thinking about how sweet he was; the night when he saved her, the night at the ball and the night on the bench. Each one of those nights she felt a flicker of hope for him and right now, she was absorbing all of it. Klaus was also lost in a trance. He still couldn't explain why he fancied Caroline so much. She wasn't even a year old vampire yet, and he was a thousand year old original hybrid. He glanced up at her, and watched her keep that smile on her face. His hand was still supporting hers and neither noticed because they enjoyed the comfort it gave.

"Well, look what we have here." A voice from behind them said. Caroline froze in fear and Klaus jolted up and glared at the man. "I would say lady and the tramp, but it seems like there's two tramps now." Caroline remained seated, clutching the bracelet extremely hard. If they weren't real diamonds, they probably would have crumbled under the force.

"That's no way to refer to your girlfriend, now is it, mate?" Klaus said. He stared at the man who just stood up Caroline.

"Funny, doesn't really seem like she wants to be my girl anymore." Tyler glared at Klaus. Caroline remained seated. She wasn't crying this time; she was more frightened than anything. "But what do you expect from a slut." Klaus growled at him and Tyler snarled back.

"I wouldn't say that again, mate." Klaus was really angry, his hands were in such tight fists that his nails cut his skin and blood was dripping down.

"Caroline. Is. A. Slut!" Tyler said loudly. With that Klaus lunged at him. Caroline jumped up and gasped. She didn't know what to say or do. Caroline was frightened and too much was happening at the same time. She was about to have a break-down as she watched the two attack each other. Was that really happening? She remembered a point when she was wondering; "why is it that the guys I want, never go for me?" Now she has a jealous Tyler and an Orignal Hybrid fighting over her. How did this happen she continued to repeat in her head. She slid down against the wall and cried in fear. This would end horribly, and she knew it.
