"Are you ready?", he asked Caroline.
"Yeah… I mean, it's for Elena, of course" She looked at him, saying that sentence to herself.
They walked into the local bar and Klaus looked for the witch. Suddenly a very tall woman, with a strong look, suspicious, knowing that whatever walked into that bar was not a very trustable or a good thing. Then, when she recognized Klaus, she opened a little smile in her eyes. It was day, so the bar was empty and they could talk without the fear of being overheard.
"Well, well, well, if isn't the one and only Niklaus. It's been a while, my dear." She seemed surprised.
"You look amazing, love." He kissed her hand. Caroline was tense all the time. She was afraid of saying something that could spoil the plan.
"So, what brings the great big Klaus in my little bar?" He smile.
"I think we should sit down" He looked at Caroline and she nodded subtly.
Dara picked a bottle of the oldest wine she had in her stock and sat down with them. So Klaus started.
"We need a favour… I want to know where and how I can use the cure." Dara changed her expression really fast.
"You know you need a very good reason… Who is she?" She meant Caroline. Klaus looked at Car and admired her for a second.
"She is involved in the process… I want the cure for me and for her." Klaus said.
"Klaus, the original-hybrid vampire, wants the cure? Honey, you're gonna need a lot more than a pretty girl to make me believe that you really want it."
"Dara, I'm in love with her." He said that with such conviction that anyone could believe it. Even Caroline for a second, then she remembered all the plan.
"It's true", she finally said, "We want to raise a family… You see I didn't want to become a vampire in the first place. It might sound like a little girl's fantasy, but I always wanted to have kids and grandchildren…" Dara looked at Klaus, waiting for what he would say.
"Dara, you know how long I've been alone in this world…" He said all the words really slowly, because he knew that deep down they were all true. "…Looking for something that would make me feel better… This things were hybrids and all, but now… I have something real. I can't just let it go. You know you can not stay in my way to happiness." He smiled, cynically. "I've already propose to her." He smiled at Caroline. Caroline got concerned. She knew that the chances of the plan going down were bigger now, but this could also increase the chances of Dara getting them what they wanted. Dara looked at them, not quite believing their story. Even though she didn't know Klaus very well, she knew his reputation. He wouldn't just give up of being immortal. He liked being that way. She just needed to believe he liked Caroline more.
"How did you propose to the girl?" She asked. Klaus knew that if Caroline answered that question Dara would see that everything was a lie. So, before Caroline said anything, he answered.
"We were at Italy, in the country… Spending some time in my house there." He looked at Caroline. She remained quiet and then she started to really pay attention in what he was saying. He had this deep look, like he really meant every word. "She was still sleeping… I got up early that day, picked the ring and sat right next to her. She looked so peaceful… Like nothing could get to her. I loved her like that. I knew it was the right time.
"She opened her eyes, waking up really slowly. 'Why are you already up?' she said. I laughed really quick, then I said 'I need to talk to you'. 'Can it wait five more minutes?', she laughed. I did not answer. 'Caroline, I think it's time that we become more.' She then realized it was something big that I was about to say. 'Don't you think that we should get married, love?' She opened a big and bright smile and said a thousands of 'yeses'. That was the moment that I realized that I would be the happiest man in the world if I was the cause of that smile in her face." Klaus said all that looking at Caroline. She was confused. She didn't know what was acting and what was real. She almost believed in that story.
Dara was quiet all the time. She thought that even Klaus could not lie that well. Klaus finally looked at Dara and said, "But I knew that marrying her, knowing that I could never give her kids or whatever she really wanted, I could never make her really happy. That's why I want the cure. For both of us."
So Dara finally believed. She knew that even though Klaus wanted the cure he wouldn't make a big deal because he knew that it would mean the end of vampires and hybrids. What Dara didn't know was that It was everything a fake story so Elena could get the cure, be human again, without the sire bond and Klaus would continue to make his hybrids.
So Caroline and Klaus walked out the bar and got into the car back to Mystic Falls to give the good news: they got the map. Klaus drove in silence and then Caroline finally asked:
"Would you ever consider marrying someone?" She never really talked to nobody about this things. Not with Tyler or Matt. Nobody asked her if she wanted to have kids or a family.
"How about you?" He glanced at her. She smiled. She liked the way Klaus always wanted to know about her. He really wanted.
"…Yeah, I mean…" She hesitated for a second. "…Marry someone as a vampire doesn't seem very useful. But you know, it's everybody's dream." She smile at the road.
"But is it your dream?"
"I don't think I would say dream… But I thought about raising a family while still human. I don't know, I don't think that this fantasy fits me anymore. I feel like a completely different person from what I was…" She lowered her head.
"I feel the same way…" He said, looking at the road. "I'll tell something love, there's just so much in this world. Live to see all this beautiful things, this changes, this thoughts… It's incredible." Caroline started to dream a little bit. She never imagine a life outside of Mystic Falls. And to think that there was all this beauty that Klaus always said to her in the world and that she could go with him, sometimes just seem a dangerous but seductive idea.
