Hi, this is my first ever fanfiction but I have been a fan of many fics on here for a while so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks(:
Italics = flashback
"How could something so deadly feel so right?
I'm not sure of what to do
It's a catch twenty-two
'Cause the cure is found in you,
I don't want it but I do"
-Beyonce
Caroline was lay in the woods watching the stars, she could feel the bite on her hand spreading poisonous toxins through her body but despite this she felt oddly at peace, she had accepted her death.
This was the second time she had been bitten by her boyfriend..
Caroline opened the door to the Lockwood home like she had many times before however this time it was different. She had gone over to surprise Tyler with a picnic she had set up in the woods, however when she stepped into the mansion she knew something wasn't right. Cautiously she had walked up the stairs listening with her supernatural hearing, which did not prepare her for the sight she found when she finally opened his bedroom door. Tyler was there with a friend of his who had met Caroline many times over the past few months, in a passionate embrace kissing. Caroline had been so shocked that it took her a few minutes to understand what she was seeing, and then she lost it.
She ran over to Tyler and Hayley pulling them apart and slapping Hayley across the face before turning onto Tyler, he was going to regret ever cheating on Caroline Forbes.
After she had screamed and punched him she went to leave, she could not be in this house anymore, "We're over Tyler" she made it all the way to the garden before he caught up with her and grabbed her hand to try and stop her when she refused he turned angry letting his hybrid side out.
That's when he bit her.
That was 4 hours ago, she had ran here after being bitten. She had been bitten before so she knew what was coming, hallucinations and bloodlust, which was why she had come to the woods; she needed to stay away from the temptation of hurting someone even in her dying moments.
It felt like she had been here for hours yet she still wasn't dead and she was getting impatient. She had accepted her fate, why couldn't it come sooner?
What she hadn't realised was just how far away she had ran from the Lockwood house, she was lay just a few feet away from the Originals mansion.
Klaus POV
Klaus had been walking around his garden for an hour and half now, he was bored.
That's when he heard it, a soft singing, if he wasn't a Hybrid he wouldn't have even heard it, but it sounded familiar. He walked toward the singing curious as to what would be so close to his mansion, after all it was home of the originals.
That's when he found her, lay facing the sky and softly singing to herself.
He thought she was drunk so decided to approach her, "Hello love, to what do I owe the pleasure?"
She didn't answer him so he walked closer, that's when he really saw her, her face was pale and was covered in a thin layer of sweat "Caroline? Are you alright?"
She stopped singing and said "Stars are so beautiful, I've never spent the time to just look at them, they twinkle for thousands of years them they just fade, i'm fading but I didn't get my thousand years"
This answer only led to more questions for Klaus, then he noticed it, when she wiped some of the moisture from her head, her hand had a werewolf bite on. For some reason this made Klaus panic.
"Caroline, who did this to you?" She ignored him and again began singing softly.
He lifted her softly off the ground and cradled her head, biting into his wrist he offered it to her mouth "Come on love, drink" then slowly she drank the blood that flowed from him.
After a few moments of silence between them Caroline began to move off him which told Klaus she was getting stronger again.
Caroline POV
After she fully sat up she looked at him and her brow creased "How did you find me?"
"Well love, my house is only over there and I heard your singing, what happened Caroline? Who bit you?"
To this she looked at Klaus in the eyes for the first time and saw nothing but concern which convinced her to give an honest answer, so she decided to explain everything to Klaus which made the concern in his eyes turn to fury.
"My hybrid did this to you?"
She didn't want Klaus to hurt Tyler so she ignored his question and started to stand up, he quickly followed her and stood up near her and continued to look at her like he was reassuring himself that she was ok, but after all this was Klaus so she instead decided the toxins haven't fully worn off just yet and were still making her thoughts jumbled.
"I best get back home, I don't know how long I've been out here and I bet my mums freaking out, so bye Klaus"
"Wait, I'm not letting you walk home alone when that mutt is still out there"
She was surprised, but simply nodded slightly.
Klaus POV
They walked at human pace in silence for a few minutes, each lost in their own thoughts.
Klaus couldn't stand it anymore he had to make conversation with her, hear her voice.
"Are you feeling ok?"
She just nodded and said "Yeah I feel better now"
He could see she was having an internal battle with herself about whether or not to let go of more detail so he decide to press the issue further
"Are you sure, I mean you have just been bitten by a hybrid and I found you alone in the woods, why didn't you go to a friend?"
"I wanted to be alone, I just found my boyfriend with another girl and then he bit me, I wasn't really thinking straight"
"I won't let him get away with this Caroline"
"Stay out of this Klaus; it's none of your business!"
"Caroline, he is my hybrid, which makes it my business"
He heard her let out a stubborn sigh instead of answering.
He had just saved her life and she told him it was none of his business? Everything with his hybrids was his business, especially when it was a bite and on Caroline, he couldn't explain it but he was drawn to her, she was full of light and it was refreshing.
Caroline POV
It hadn't taken long for them to reach her house and of course the lights were all out, guess mums working all night again she thought. Slowly she walked up the steps leading to the front door and the silence was suddenly getting awkward.
When she turned to him he still looked concerned, god what was with him, usually he showed no emotion, ever, well apart from that smirk that he often gave when she around him.
"So, yeah thanks for walking me home"
"It was my pleasure, love."
She put her key in the door and he began to walk away, suddenly she remember she hadn't thanked him, after all this was the second him he had saved her life and she hadn't even asked him to this time.
She softly called after him "Klaus"
When he turned around she said "I didn't say thank you, for saving me, so yeah thank you"
She could see he hadn't expected it because his face showed shock then he quickly smiled at her and carried on walking away.
She opened the front door and walked into her house and turned on the lights, locking the door behind her she went for a shower to wash away the woods and sweat from her hair.
Klaus POV
It had surprised him that she had called after him, he couldn't help but think about her on his way back to his mansion, what was it about this girl that he drawn to?
Her light made her stand out from everyone he'd ever met but there something about her he couldn't stay away from.
He was grateful he had found her when he did, the thought of Caroline Forbes dying couldn't bare thinking about.
When he reached his mansion he raced up to his art studio and began to sketch the beautiful angel lying below a sky full of stars, none of which shined as bright as she did.
