A quick and short update to celebrate my first review! I love reviews! And also I won't be able to update until tuesday as I have work
and an Ed Sheeran concert to go to =)

Disclaimer: I do not own the Vampire Diaries but would love to have breakfast with Klaus...

The next morning she woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. It was 7 am, time to get ready for school.

'Morning Caroline,'

She quickly closed her eyes. She was starting to hallucinate. What was going on with her. Maybe it was a side effect to the whole being a vampire thing. She opened her eyes slightly.

'You are not here,' she said out loud even though it was meant for herself.

'I have a proposition for you,'

She got out of bed walking past him, she slowly sat down in front of her mirror. She looked at her reflection. She hadn't taken of her make up the day before, there were tear streams of mascara down her face. Why did she feel so lost?

'You seem to have lost some of your light, Caroline.'

She turned around. His voice had been soft, almost like he had meant what he said. It took her back to the ball, where he had been so honest and civil to her, it took her back to the night he saved her life.

'Why would you say that?' she questioned trying to get all the dried up make up of her face.

He came closer had she could actually smell him. He smelled so comforting she felt like throwing her arms around him. She mentally scolded herself for even thinking like that about him. She replayed the same mantra in her head over and over again. This is Klaus, you feel nothing but hatred and disgust.

'I can see it. It disappeared from your eyes. Now what I want to know is: what made it disappear?'

He was now so close she could feel his breath on her cheek.

'What do you want Klaus?'

'I forgive you.'

She looked in the mirror and saw him standing behind her. He was staring at her and she had to look away.

'You told me to accept your apology. I hereby do.'

'Why?'

'I already told you. You intrigue me.'

She turned around to face him. She couldn't hear her mantra anymore. She felt like he could give her everything she ever wanted. He had offered to give her everything. Here she was, standing in front of him, without any make up and in her pajamas and he still looked at her like he had looked at her the evening of the Michaelson family ball.

'Why?' she asked him once again.

'I asked you a question first, Caroline.'

'I didn't lose my 'light,' she said putting emphasis on the word light. 'I just put a dimmer on it, maybe I don't have a lot of things to be happy about right now.' There it was again. He smiled at her. It had been very brief and maybe a bit disapproving but it had been there, a smile.

Just like the first time it left Caroline flustered. She could feel a blush creeping up and before she could stop it she was smiling back at him.

'I can still see it,' he whispered the words to her, probably not knowing how much they meant to her.

She regained her composure and tried to sound serious and in control.

'You said you had a proposition?'

Klaus smiled again. This time she didn't feel flustered. She actually felt light in her head, weak in the knees and in the pit of her stomach something fluttered.

'I want to get to know you. If you let me, I'll leave your so called friends alone for the time being.'

'I accept.'

Klaus looked at her. He was shocked but quickly regained his composure and smirked at her. Her reaction had been so quick, Caroline surprised herself. She just wanted to keep her friends safe, she told herself but she knew it wasn't true. Her quick acceptance hadn't been for her friends. It had been for herself. Klaus was a dangerous hybrid, a killer, a liar, he was selfish and he wouldn't think twice about breaking her neck. She knew all of that and yet, all she wanted was to get to know him.

After a long silence Caroline snapped out of her trance.

'You should go now, I have school.'

'I don't think so.'

Caroline sighed. She really needed to get ready if she wanted to be on time for her history class.

'Go away,' she said while searching for her favorite blue top.

'You are coming with me.'

'The hell I am.'

'Caroline.'

She looked up at the sound of her name. He was being serious, he really wanted her to come with him right now. She realized she should be scared but she wasn't. Why shouldn't she go? She could always go to school later, she had all the time in the world.

'Fine,' she shrugged her shoulders trying to make him believe it was all the same to her. She quickly changed in the bathroom.

'Where are we going?'

'It's a surprise.'

He led her out of the house, he had his hand at the small of her back and she could swear she felt it burning.

To her surprise he led her to a car that was parked in front of her house. For some reason she didn't think of Klaus as a car person.

He was a hybrid, couldn't he just run? Caroline hated running. She didn't understand why people run.

'Can you give me a hint?' she questioned already knowing the answer.

'No,' with that he slammed the door shut and walked over to the driver's side.

After ten minutes of driving she asked if she could turn on the radio. He said no.

After another fifteen minutes of silence she ignored his wishes and turned on the radio. She made a face in his direction and she could see a half smile form on his lips.

'I love this song,' she said as she started to sing.

I don't even need your love but you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough. No you didn't have to stoop so low…

She hummed along not even noticing the amused look Klaus gave her.

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

'You like this kind of music?'

His question brought her back into the car and she blushed.

'I just like music. I listen to pretty much everything. I love Kings of Leon but also Debussy.'

'Do you like music?' she felt herself redden just asking him a question. Every time she was civil towards him she could feel a nagging deep down inside, telling her this was wrong but she just ignored it.

'I do enjoy music, yes. Not the whole hip-hop and dance scene that has been going on, but I do enjoy music.'

'That night, in your house, you told me you could show me the world,'

'I stand by that statement.'

'What is the most beautiful place you have ever seen?'

'Paris in the 1920's,'

'I wish I could have been there, I've never even been outside of Virginia.'

'That's about to change.'

She looked at him, a little shocked.

'We are going on a little trip.' He told her with a smirk.

That was the moment she became scared. What was she doing? Why would she believe anything he said, he had lied in the past. He had given her absolutely no reason to trust him, yet here she was, in his car. She shouldn't even be alone with him. She looked at him, he was staring at the road ahead but he must have felt her eyes on him. He turned his head slightly and flashed a wicked smile.

He was definitely going to kill her, one way or another.
