I don't own tvd

An unseen force caused her to spring up in the bed as she gasped out her first breath. She looked around in confusion trying to figure out what had happened and why everything felt different. The room was dark but she could make out every detail better than she could in broad daylight. Even the air around her felt like it had changed, she placed a hand on her chest her heart was still beating that was a good sign, wasn't it?

Slowly, another heartbeat filled her ears she turned towards the sound and found Klaus casually sitting on a chair. "Welcome back." He said with a smirk on his face. Suddenly, it all came back to her and she couldn't tell weather she was mad or afraid.

He moved toward her with a cup in his hand. She pushed herself up farther on the bed, trying to get away from him. "Get away from me! You killed me!" She sobbed. "You came back." He stated as if that made it ok. He was right next to her and he extended the cup to her. She shook her head vehemently "No! She all but screamed as she dove across the bed and landed upright on the floor.

She only meant to take a step towards the door but she ended up right next to it, using speed that shouldn't have been possible for her. She turned the handle and the door opened, then just as quickly it was slammed shut with an overwhelming force. Her back was turned to him, her hand was still pressed against the door.

"Love," he gently murmured into her neck, causing a shiver to run down her spine, "you have to dfaaa." He put the cup against the door, right next to her face. The smell was enough to drive her insane but she was Caroline Forbes, always in control, no matter what.

She slowly turned around to face him, her eyes automatically locked on the cup. "What is it?" She asked quietly. "Blood of the latest doppelganger. All you have to do is drink and I promise you'll feel much better." He said sincerely.

She swallowed thickly, it sounded enticing every muscle in has body was pulling her to the blood. Her heart was beating faster, her throat was burning with a thirst she'd never known, she reached for the cup. Klaus smiled smugly and handed it to her.

The glass was cool in her hands, but the smell created a fire in her veins. She felt something- she didn't know what- move under her eyes- She brought the glass to her lips and then she threw it at Klaus and used the distraction to bolt out the door.

He could've easily chased down the soon to be hybrid, she was confused and in transition, it would've been child's play. But she resisted the blood and in a couple of hours she'd be desperate, begging for the blood and Klaus wanted to see what a desperate Caroline looked like. He occupied himself with going through her things.

That proved only to increase the mystery around Caroline. He searched the hotel room and found nothing personal of hers. No photos, no papers, nothing that give him any inclination of who she was. The only thing that stood out were the birth control pills in the bathroom. After some thought he realized he knew these signs, sweet little Caroline was running from someone. But who?

Nearly three hours later he went to look for her, and he found her in the most unlikely of places. "Atoning for your sins, love?" He said as he sat down next to her. "Go away." She said weakly her eyes were closed but he see the streaks of blood running down her face. "You've had enough time to yourself love. You need to drink." He put the cup in front of her face she swatted it away. "No." Her refusal surprised him. "You do know what'll happen if you don't drink, right?"

She let out a humorless chuckle "I'm not an idiot I know how vampire transitions work, I know if I don't drink that I'll die." "So, you're choosing to die then? I didn't peg you as the type to give up." She stayed silent.

"You know it's going to get worse, the burn in your throat will spread though your body untill whatever control you have snaps and you attack someone. But even that won't help the blood will be pushed out of your system and you'll bleed out slowly and painfully."

"I can take it." She said resolutely. Her eyes were still closed. Klaus cupped her cheek and forced her to look at him. "The world is full of art, music, culture. Genuine beauty. Are you really prepared to miss all of it? You'd be doing the world a great disservice."

Pain filled her eyes "I've seen so much darkness, I don't think any amount of beauty could make up for it. Please just let me die. I'm ready."

Klaus kissed her forehead "If it's what you really want, I won't stop you. I've thought about it myself once or twice over the centuries." She sighed in relief and sank back into the pew. He pulled her to him so her head was resting against his chest. Her breathing grew heavier, he stroked her hair soothingly.

After a moment or two he broke the silence "I'm sorry, sweetheart but you'll thank me for this later." Before she could even look up at him, he took the hand that was stroking her hair and wrapped it around her neck forcing her head back. He used his other hand to bring the cup to her lips. She looked at him pleadingly. He practically had to jam the cup into mouth to get the blood in but he got it. She swallowed instinctively.

He let her go as the transition took hold. Her eyes turned golden she grabbed her jaw and groaned in pain. It went on for a while then, suddenly, it stopped.

He smirked "well, now that that's over, how about a kiss, love?" He said invoking the newly placed sire bond. She moved closer to him and leaned in. He closed his eyes and he was slapped. Well, that was unexpected.
