I looked to him. Klaus, the original hybrid and one of the most powerful creatures in the world. If I told him about my past, would he reject me? Would he think that I'm weak and useless?
But, I had to. I own him this explanation, this answer. I never ran away at a challenge, I wouldn't start now.
''I don't know how to start this, but I will try to explain all to you, all right?'' he shook his head in a affirmative way, curious about me and my past.
I took a depth breath and started the painful memories that hunted me in my dreams.
''When I was a human, I was the typical teenager. I went to every party, I dated with everyone and a smile was in my face every time. I was the perfect girl out, but inside I was insecure, neurotic and a control freak. Because of that, I needed attention and I found it when I met Damon Salvatore.''
Klaus was surprised when I said the name of the older Salvatore, but didn't say anything. I kept going.
''I wanted Stefan, but he didn't wanted me, he was focused on Elena. So, Damon was my second choice. But, he...used me for more than sex. He took my blood, hurt me and compelled me to accept all of it. I think that, being closer to me, he could know what my mom was planing against the vampires.''
I wasn't looking to Klaus while telling this, but to the streets of New Orleans, who seem to have it light in every spot, adding a certain magic to the place. But, I heard a growl and turned to him, who seemed like he was going to kill someone. Afraid what he could do, I reached for his arm and put my hand on it, trying to calm him.
''Hey, let me finish the story. But, first, control yourself.'' I said in a soft, but firm voice.
''Sorry, love. Keep going.'' he said in his deep accent, trying to control his anger. I smiled, knowing that he really cared about me and didn't blame me for my past.
''Thank you. Well, after some time, I was in a car with Tyler and because of one of the instruments that the founders created to detain supernatural creatures, caused him to have a terrible headache and to crash the car. Elena asked to Damon to give me his blood to help me heal and I was taken to the hospital.''
At my pause, Klaus put his hand on mine and encouraged me to continue. So, I looked straight into his eyes and continued the last part of my history.
''In the hospital, I was awaken. First, I through to be Elena, but in reality, was Katherine. She said that I should say to the Salvatore that 'the game is on' and then she put a pillow on my face and suffocated me, killing me. That's when I became a vampire.''
I felt a tear coming of my eye. I never said this memories to no one with such details, but he needed.
It was ironic that the person who I am telling this is a psychotic and paranoid hybrid with a cold heart. But, right now, he just got my tear and put my face in between his hands.
''Caroline, don't be ashamed of this memories. They are sad and painful, but they made you who you are today. These are experiences that you lived, you become stronger because of them. You showed to me that you had this past but learned and moved on. It makes me admire you more than ever and thank you for sharing this with me.''
I saw in his eyes that he was speaking the truth. Klaus will never abandon me, for this I'm sure. I smiled knowing that I will never be alone again. He freed my face, got up and offered his hand.
''It's time for you to make new and happy memories. Come on, I think you will like the city.''
His smile encouraged me to take his offer. I took his hand and Klaus started to show me the world I always wanted to see and more. Much more.
