A short narrative piece based on Klaus asking Caroline to join him in New Orleans :) Enjoy!
'I cannot stay here much longer. New Orleans awaits its King.' He said with that devious smirk that always meant he was up to no good. 'Best to not keep the town waiting.'
Caroline crossed her arms and fixed him with a steely glare. 'Then go, Klaus. Go torment people with your presence somewhere else. We would all appreciate it if you left us alone for a change.'
He picked up a paintbrush he had been using on his most recent painting and studied it, the smirk never leaving his face. 'You are a stubborn one, aren't you, love?'
She always felt the need to protest against him calling her 'love' or 'sweetheart', but she never did. She didn't see a reason to reject him further. She'd already proved her point several times over.
'Well how else am I supposed to get stuff done around here? Stubbornness helps me get it all done the way I want it. And what I want right now is for you to leave.' She countered. 'You even said yourself that you need to go back to New Orleans, so go right ahead and do that. It will bring everyone relief.'
He put the brush down and walked over to her, looking down at her. 'I never said I had to go. This is simply a choice I have made, and I plan on returning to Mystic Falls at some point in time, but I don't intend on leaving this town empty handed.'
She didn't move, wanting to stand her ground. 'And what do you plan on taking away from us this time?'
His smirk grew larger. 'You.' He said and went back to the table to mix some paints. 'You see Caroline, you intrigue me, and you don't fall for my charm, which only makes me fancy you even more. I like that about you.' He said casually and put down the paints to look at her. 'Come with me to New Orleans. Be my Queen. Leave all this misery behind and abandon this small town. It has nothing to offer you, whereas I do.'
She shook her head at him in disgust. 'I'd much rather stay here with my mom and my friends, wondering where Tyler is and deal with all of this supernatural crap than go with you to New Orleans.'
He set his jaw and looked at her with a firm expression. 'You come with me and I'll stop chasing Tyler. I won't kill him. Instead, I will let him go free. But if you don't, I will scour every millimetre of this planet to find him and kill him myself. He deserves it after causing me all this trouble with my hybrids.' He exclaimed. 'Now, that sounds like a good offer to me. Pick wisely, sweetheart. This is quite literally a case of life or death.'
She swallowed at the concept to Tyler being killed by Klaus. She already despised Klaus enough, but if he killed Tyler, that would make her reach a point of hatred she had never felt before. She contemplated the offer carefully. If there was anyone on this planet that he didn't want to hurt, it would be her.
'Fine. I'll go with you. But promise me you won't hurt any of my friends. Please.'
He looked at her with a serious expression, the smirk gone from his face. 'I give you my word.'
