Introduction

Klaus stared down at the sleeping blonde girl, sighing contentedly. He frowned knowing what he would have to do next. Caroline was a sweet girl, but she was a weakness. There was no room for weaknesses in his life. He reached over into the drawer next to his bed, pulling out the wooden stake he examined the designs on it. She was a special girl after all.

It was then that her eyes fluttered open, she was looking straight at the stake with a fearful expression. "What are you doing?" She asked barely a whisper.

He smiled comfortingly at her, taking her face in his hands he looked her in the eye using his compulsion. "Shh, everything is alright, sweetheart." He told her in a soothing voice before picking up the stake again. The least he could do was take her fear away. Caroline just stared up at him with a blank expression as he raised the stake above her chest.

Apparently he didn't do a good enough job with the compulsion, the hurt that spread through her features confirmed that. He shushed her again, raking a hand through her hair before plunging the stake into her heart. Frown lines creasing across his forehead as he watched the life leave her eyes, her breathing slow and eventually stop.

He hadn't wanted to do it, really he hadn't, but what other choice did he have. She would have made him weak, he was falling in love with that girl and he just couldn't let that happen. Not to mention her best friends were always trying to find a way to get rid of him. For all he knew this was some elaborate plan to get to him. Though thte thought of Caroline not caring for him the way she had told him she did the night before made him growl.

Running a hand through her hair he removed the stake, setting it on the floor next to the bed, where it stained the carpet red. He didn't much care about it right now, though he knew later he would have to scrub the room of any trace of Caroline's blood. He told himself that it was so the Salvatore gang wouldn't find out what he had done, but honestly he hated the fact of this room being the place where his sweet Caroline had met her end. The reality of never seeing her smile, or the light in her eyes again did bring a strangely dejected feeling upon him.
