Waking up, instantly Caroline brought her hand up to her shoulder, the bite had fully healed. Relief flooded through the young vampire. Taking in the surroundings of the room, she noticed that the walls were covered in dark lonely paintings. They were desperately calling to her. Getting up she ran her fingers across them, they were all so different, but similar in that they'd been done by the same artist. Caroline wondered who Klaus must have compelled to give him all of these, then remembering the night of the ball, he had shared his art studio with her. Klaus looked so vulnerable that night, he possessed the attitude of a shy child. Hoping Caroline wouldn't laugh at the artist expressive, shown before her.
"Beautiful". She murmured to no one in particular. For someone so dark and evil, Klaus did have a beautiful talent. Caroline wanted to roam through the rest of the mansion and find the art studio. Finding herself wanting to understand Klaus was dangerous, not so much for the thought of him hurting her, but of what truths may come out. Turning around she took in the rest of the room. The walls were painted a deep red, walls that a psychopath would have. But, the rest of the room was soft and inviting, from the curtains to the bed. Glancing at the bed she realized the hybrid everyone had feared so much was laying, fast asleep. Klaus looked so soft and kind while he slept, even if he acted to be neither of those things.
Even if Klaus Mikaelson was the most evil being on earth, as many people called him, He had shown her kindness. Healing her from a bite he hadn't caused, or so much as know about it, was true kindness. Caroline knew he "Fancied her", how he so poetically put it. Nonetheless, Klaus's feeling for her must have changed after all this time, after the continuous rejection and ridicule he had received from her friends, and herself she thought guiltily. Knowing she couldn't be here when he awoke, she decided to leave him a note.
Klaus had awaken as Caroline was about to leave. Debating on jokingly harassing her with some cheesy line about 'letting a guy save your life, then disappear before breakfast.' Before Klaus had the chance to torment his blonde companion, He heard the sounds of pen hitting paper. Curiosity over took the need to harass. Laying there, pretending to be deep in slumber.
Sadly, Klaus knew Caroline would never see him than an ally at best. After all he'd done to the small town and her close group of friends. Truthfully Klaus he had some regrets. If the option came available to go back and change some of the more evil decisions he'd made in Mystic Falls, knowing he'd at least have the blonde vampire as a friend, he may have changed some actions to bad not so much evil.
Love for anyone other than his family wasn't something that came often to the hybrid, none sense the late Tatia. In his years as the evil original he'd never met a girl who made him want more than a fun night or the taste of blood pouring from them. With Caroline something was different. Turning him down numerous times infuriated him, but also kept him needing more. The chase wasn't the only reason he craved her. Far to many times the chase was the best part, winning them over was equivalent to defeat. Caroline was not like that though, the light that shone through her was what he truly craved, A chance for that light to shine on him, brighten up the darkness that was his existence.
Lost in a world of thoughts, he suddenly realized she was gone. Quickly Klaus grabbed the note that was perched don the nightstand. Smiling at the bubbly letters and fragrance that covered the letter, the smell of Caroline.
"Klaus, Thank you truly so much for saving me. You didn't have to, Especially after I had just accused you of being the cause. I hope you can think of a way for me to repay. AND DO NOT BE CRUDE. If you think of any way for this, here is my number.
