Authors note: ...This chapter is very special. I know Delena fans will hate me but Klaroline fans will probably love me :D I don't care. I apologize to have let you wait so long. But I have been very sick lately and I couldn't concentrate on writing. But now I am feeling better. So I decided to write the second chapter. I will continue if this story reaches at least 12 reviews.

She knocked on the door, so hard that it almost broke. A sleepy Damon opened the door. "Lana. Here to invite me to another party?" He smiled sleepily. Lana had tears in her eyes. "I…I am sorry. I didn't mean to… I…" she was about to cry. Damon was awake in less than a second. "What happened?" He pulled her inside and sat her down on the couch. While Lana started sobbing silently Damon poured two glasses of Bourbon. He offered her one. Something told him that she would start talking as soon as she was ready.
Lana downed her glass. She turned off her emotions and concentrated on the beast inside her. She wanted blood.
Damon could see her eyes and face change. Blood thirst. He led her downstairs and showed her where the blood bags were. Lana drank almost 10 bags. Her face and shirt were covered in blood. Damon had watched her the whole time not interfering once. When she was finished she looked at him. "I'm sorry." He shook his head and grabbed her hand. Damon led Lana upstairs to his room and showed her to the bathroom. He gave her a towel and one of his shirts. Lana took gratefully a shower. When she left the shower she just put on Damon's button up shirt and left her pants on the floor. Damon had cleaned up the mess in the cellar and was now sitting in the living room. Lana walked up behind him and put her hands on his shoulders. He looked up to her. "Feeling better?" She shook her head. Lana knew it was time to tell Damon why she was so upset but she was so used to keeping problems to herself that she just couldn't. Instead she leaned forward and kissed him on the lips very softly. He was surprised and taken aback. "Lana, what was that? You are with Klaus. Remember?" "I don't think I am anymore." She whispered. With vampire speed she was on the other side of the couch sitting on Damon's lap, holding his face in her hands and kissing him again. It took him a while but eventually he kissed her back. When she backed away a little she smiled at him. "You wanted to that since you met me, right? Now don't lie, Damon." He said nothing but pulled her closer and kissed her again. This time with a lot more passion. Lana stood up, without interrupting the kiss, and pulled Damon towards the stairs. They bumped into the wall a few times and they knocked pretty much everything over on their way upstairs. Damon picked Lana up and she threw her legs around his waist. When they entered his room Damon threw her on the bed and ripped his shirt off his chest. He darted at her and they lost themselves in a whirl of temptation and forbidden desires.
When the wave of lust had washed over them they lay next to each other breathing hard. Lana turned her head towards Damon and smiled. She wanted to say something but then she just let out a sound half sigh half laugh. Damon glanced at her with his eyebrows raised. "What?" She grinned. "Nothing. But… I want more." She rolled over on top of him and kissed his neck. Her fangs came out and she bit him. He flinched but soon he leaned forward and bit her neck. It didn't take long until the fire between them was burning hot again.
Klaus and Caroline were still on the road. He was asking Caroline a lot of questions about how she imagined her life in the future, her dreams, hopes and plans. Sometimes Caroline asked him a question and he tried to be as honest as possible even though he didn't like talking about himself. "What do you want from me, Klaus?" He looked at her. "I want your time, sweetheart. Only that and nothing more." She frowned. She didn't believe him. "And why?" He had to think about this question. "I don't know." He said after a long pause. "I really don't know why I want to spend my time with you." She smiled because he sounded a little embarrassed. They kept on driving in silence. From time to time Caroline could Klaus shake his head in disbelief. They reached a small town and stopped in front of a coffee shop. When they entered an old woman exited the kitchen. She saw Klaus and her face lightened up. "Master Klaus. What a pleasure to see you again. Where are Miss Lana and Miss Rebekah?" she eyed Caroline very carefully. Klaus smiled and kissed the old lady's hand. "They were not able to come, Sybille. But I brought my friend Miss Caroline with me. We are here to taste you wonderful coffee." At the mentioning of her coffee Sybille's eyes brightened up and she led them to a small table in the back of the café. It was in front of a big window. When Caroline looked outside, she could see a wide field of wildflowers. It went up a hill and on top of this hill was an old house. It looked like a castle in a fairytale. Sybille noticed Caroline's amazement. "Has Master Klaus not told you what would expect you?" She gave Klaus a scolding look. He winked at her. "Sybille, I decided to let you tell the story of this house. I know you love more than anyone else." Sybille went to get a pot of coffee and when she had served Klaus and Caroline she stared out the window. "It was over a century ago. My great grandfather had built this house for his wife. My great grandmother was a witch and she desired privacy. When they moved in she made all the flowers grow. They lived in peace for 2 generations. But then on my 8th birthday the people from the village suddenly decided they had enough of that bastard family up on the hill. And then they came and tried to burn our house. It was unbelievable for them that a white man was living with a black woman. They killed my father and when my mother was too weak to keep them away, they killed her too. I was the last one. I hid in the basement. I heard someone scream "But she is only a child." But I knew it didn't matter to them. Suddenly there was a more screaming, male screaming. And then someone burst the cellar door open. It was a young man. He took me into his arms and promised me everything would be alright. Then he carried me upstairs. There was blood everywhere, but the men were gone. Two women were with him. They promised me to watch over me as long as I was alone. The man left and returned two weeks later. He had found my aunt and brought her here. She was to take care of me from then on. She was an old witch that lived in a forest, but this lad must have convinced her it would be the best to live in this house, because that was what she did. She stayed with me and taught me everything she knew. This man that saved me was Master Klaus. I owe him my life. Which is why he gets his coffee free for eternity." She smiled at Klaus with so much gratitude and love; it was almost too much for Caroline.
She had a hard time believing Klaus would be so nice to a girl he didn't know. She gave Klaus a suspicious look. Sybille got up as if she noticed that the two of them needed to talk. When she was gone Caroline couldn't hold it in. "Why?" Klaus smiled. "Clearly that would be your first question. I did it because Lana begged me to. And then I saw the birthday decoration in the front yard. You know I always had a thing for birthdays." He winked. And she remembered, for the second time this morning, the night he had saved her life. "It is really beautiful here." She whispered. "Yes, indeed it is. That was another reason I saved her. Such genuine beauty is not often seen in nature. I didn't want it seen drowned in innocent blood. Also it is always good to have a witch owe you her life." Caroline shot him an evil look. Of course he would be getting something from it. "Though I never asked her for a favor." He added, staring up the hill.
Sybille came back with a strawberry cheese cake. She gave each of them a piece. "I meant to talk to you Master Klaus, about the house. I am old. And my magic will not keep me alive for long. There is this girl, she is very good with the customers and she knows how to make the coffee the way I do. I will leave her this café, when I pass. But the house… I feel there is just one person I should give this to. I want to leave this house to you Master Klaus. You are all I have left from my childhood. Everyone is dead. And you feel the closest to family. Will you take it?" She had tears in her eyes and looked down on her fingers. Klaus seemed surprised and Caroline thought she saw him even a little touched. "It would be an honor for me to be the new owner of this house." He smiled his most genuine smile. Sybille took his hands and gave them a firm squeeze. Then she went back to the kitchen to get control of her emotions. Klaus took a great sip of coffee and looked around the café. Caroline had this "I knew you had a soft side" smile on her face which he tried to ignore. When their eyes met both started to laugh. They left the café soon after and walked up the hill. Caroline was taken aback by the beauty of the landscape. She wasn't familiar with flowers but she could see so many that she doubted anyone would know all their names. It took them almost an hour to get all the way up. Klaus told her the story of how he had found that aunt and how difficult it had been to get her to move out here. But most of the time they just walked in silence. Caroline felt comfortable. She had argued with herself whether this was a good idea or not but then she had told herself "Klaus has a nice side. I know it. And obviously there is something about him that attracts me to him. Maybe he is the bad guy, but Damon used to be the bad guy too, and Stefan was once the bad guy too. Why can everybody forgive them but no one can give Klaus a second chance? I should be the better person. I know I am strong enough to save him."
She knew Klaus was also attracted to her and in her mind she had already decided that she was his only chance to become good. She had made Tyler a better person. She had helped him. She could help Klaus too. While Caroline was convincing herself of being meant to be Klaus' savior they reached the house. "How can we enter?" Caroline asked. "That's easy. She allowed us in by giving us the keys." Klaus opened the door and they entered. The house was beautiful. Everything looked like it must have looked during the 1800s. Klaus showed her every room. And in the end he showed her the basement. "That's where she had hidden." He pointed to an old trunk in a corner. "Smart girl." He smiled "Yes she was. But when she saw me she didn't scream or fight. She just held on to me. I once asked her why she hadn't been scared at all. And she told me she has the third eye. She can see someone's true intentions. She can feel if someone wants to harm her. No one can trick her. And she knew back then that I wasn't going to hurt her." Caroline was touched by how much of a good person there was in Klaus. Someone just needed to show him how to get it out.
When they walked back down to the car Klaus grabbed Caroline's hand. He didn't say anything nor did he look at her. And Caroline also remained silent. They got in the car and on the way back she would glance at him but neither of them said a word. When he pulled into her driveway it was already afternoon. They got out and looked at each other. "Thank you for joining me today, Caroline. I enjoyed your company very much." She smiled. "I enjoyed it too. Thanks for telling me those stories about you. I appreciate it very much." They stood there just looking at each other and then Klaus turned around and walked away. Caroline walked to her door and when she tried to get the key in she noticed her hands were shivering. And that was also when she noticed her heart was beating very fast and loud. Just when the door opened she felt someone pull her arm. She was turned around abruptly and stood just mere inches away from Klaus. He looked at her with an unreadable gaze. She tried to hold his stare but she couldn't, her eyes wandered down to his lips. Briefly she asked herself if they had always looked so daring so inviting. She knew what would happen if she looked up to him again. But she did it anyways. She looked at him and he leaned down. Their eyes were closed when their lips touched only for a second. And then Klaus was gone and Caroline was left panting and shivering.
