Caroline's P.O.V.

Shit. Shit. Shit. I kept telling myself as I wandered around the room, Klaus was laying in bed half-naked, and I just realised that I slept with a 1000 year old Original Hybrid who is supposed to be an enemy. I almost felt tears were going to fall from my eyes Darn it! Don't lose it, Caroline. You're just stupid. I kept on going back and forth till I heard a movement I turned to look at the bed instantly, Klaus was waking up. It felt like my hands were sweating and I was about to throw myself to run and get myself out unwilling to speak to him but instead I just stood there trying to face him.

'Morning, love.' he smiled and ohhh! These dimples are so irresistible. I froze and I felt my body throwing itself onto the bed, I moved myself to sit comfortably on his legs, I kissed him just to avoid talking to him but I couldn't resist it he was very passionate with his kisses 'Good morning!' he laughed as he twirled around and threw himself on me sticking my arms up, I kissed him again and again and again and again... Caroline, STOP! I heard my voice echoing in the back of my mind. I groaned and stopped for a moment I took my breaths looking at him.

'Klaus, we need to talk.' I sighed

'I get it. Now I know what's going to happen. You regret what we had, you feel sorry for Tyler and you think it was wrong, what we did. You leave me alone and you start making no sense. And then you finally realise again that you slept with the villain. Convenient. How Shakspearian of me?' he smiled kept looking at me as if he knew that I was going to feel something by now and that was exactly what happened.

'You know that as much as I would love to keep on kissing you but you have to show me. Show me. Show me that what I'm doing now and what I have done is worth it. I want you to show me your compassion.' I kept on looking into his eyes, I tried to lift myself up but the force was hard to fight he was holding my arms up while he was sitting on me.

'You said you trusted me yesterday, I gave you my own word. What I did last night was a thing I shouldn't have done to you, I only did it when you told me that you needed it. You're free to do whatever you want to do.' he left my arms and leaned backwards, looking away. 'And I don't wanna go.' I mumbled 'I don't wanna leave. I want you to show me.' he glared at me and looked away trying to move himself off the bed 'Fine! Don't want to talk anymore then don't, but don't come crawling again buying me off. I am not one of your slaves, Klaus.'


As I walked in the Mansion I saw Klaus standing across the room and was just about to come closer 'Good evening.' he smiled. 'I need a drink.' I said and walked towards the bar or whatever it was, not bothering myself to notice if he was behind me or not I was just too annoyed with his presence around and I wanted to go home so badly, I was just to reconsider the thought and stay at home but while I was with Elena I changed my mind for nothing as much as I can remember, and while I was saying..the gown looked fabulous and while I was trying it on I kept on wearing it. Typical me.

I heard music playing and of course I was asked to dance, by Klaus. He grabbed my hand and walked me to the ballroom, we shared a dance. And while we were dancing 'I'm glad you came.' he said.

'Well, it was either caviar or sympathy casseroles.' I said.

'I heard about your father.'

'Don't. Seriously.'

'Very well. On to more mannered subjects then, like how ravishing you look in that dress.' he grinned to the thought.

'I didn't really have time to shop.' I tried to find myself an excuse.'

'And the bracelet I gave you, what's your excuse for wearing that? You know, you're quite the dancer.' he smiled again.

'Well, I've had training. I happen to be Miss Mystic Falls.'

'I know.' I didn't pay attention to what Klaus has mostly said, I only paid attention to Matt who was recently dancing with Rebekah. I don't call it jealousy it's Matt's my friend and I care much for him. During the dance we had to switch partners and I came along dancing with Matt.

'What are you doing? Why are you here with the She-Devil?' I said furiously.

'What was I supposed to say, no? And why the hell are you here with Klaus?' he asked.

'Don't even get me started.'


'Caroline.' Klaus said.

'Forget it, Klaus. I need to eat.' I left the room and walked away as far as I can reach. I was seeking for a kitchen and I took it as an excuse too, to tour around the Mansion. I found a big portrait for a horse down a hallway and I saw loneliness in it, it was very impressive must have been a very nice painter. I walked away from the portrait, the Mansion was so big that looked like a maze in my opinion. I think I passed by the ballroom and a lot of different places I might have been there before.


I was outside admiring a horse that looked beautiful, the moonlight reflected on some of the shining bridles on the horse.

'You like horses?' Klaus appeared from behind.

'I'm not talking to you until you tell me why you invited me here.' I felt a little bit harsh on him, but he deserved every single thing I did.

'I fancy you. Is that so hard to believe?' Is that so hard to believe? Seriously? Anything human that comes up from you is just unbelievable. 'Yes!' I said. Klaus has done a lot of stuff that were unbearable to see or to hear about, terrible things.

'Why? You're beautiful, you're strong, you're full of light. I enjoy you.' No one has ever described me like this before, I felt like I was going to blush but I didn't lose it. 'Well I'm spoken for. By Tyler.' For once saying Tyler's name made me hesitate.

'But I thought you two ended things.' While talking to Klaus he always smiles and that sometimes peeves me. 'Yeah, because of you and your freaky sire bond with him.' I said furiously.

'So you aren't spoken for. You know, horses are the opposite of people. They're loyal. My father hunted me for a thousand years and the closest he ever came was the day he killed my favourite horse. He severed its neck with a sword as a warning.' I thought he tried to change the subject on purpose because maybe of how much he hates Tyler or any other reason, and whenever I think of that reason I get provoked I don't like to speculate for things that don't merit speculation.

'Did you ever consider sitting down with your father and talking it out?' I've heard a lot of stories of Mikael and I never really knew why would a person be that bad with his son or his step-son. I think Mikael was a really hollow-hearted person who never tried to think about his family a lot and only concentrated on the pride.

'Well, I'm afraid my relationship with my father was a little bit more complex than yours.'

'Maybe so. But I let my father go with no regrets. And to answer your question, yes, I like horses. But I also like people and they actually like me so I'll be inside.' I turned around and walked away to the Mansion, I didn't really like Klaus that much sometimes I felt sorry for him because he had no friends and most of his family hates him no wonder why he turned out to be such a bastard like that.


I found the Kitchen eventually, I wondered why would vampires have a kitchen or even a fridge to keep food but I didn't bother myself much with the thought. I opened the fridge and found a bunch of meat 'Seriously?' I said out loud; and toast, cheese, jam and butter. I took the toast, the jam and the butter and started filling the toast with them 'I wish there was Starbucks nearby.' I sniffed, 'Want coffee Mrs. Forbes?' I turned around and I found a girl with a cup of Starbucks coffee in her hands, I smiled at her and took it from her, she must be one of their compelled servants of course. I took my sandwich and the coffee and sat on a couch in a room near the kitchen I had breakfast peacefully and silently when I finished the girl came from nowhere and took the plate away from me I still had some coffee remaining in the cup, I stood up and completed my tour around the Mansion. I found a room where Klaus had his art collection, he showed me it once.


Klaus walked me to a room which had a lot of drawings that looked good indeed 'So what did you want to show me?' I asked. 'One of my passions.' he said.

'Oh. Impressive. I take it the curators at the Louve aren't on vervain.' I said. Klaus chuckled 'Yeah, well that's their mistake.' he said.

'What about these? Where'd you steal this from?' I showed him the bracelet he gave me. 'Well, that's a long story. But rest assured it was worn by a princess almost as beautiful as you.' Klaus has lived more than a thousand decades I expect him keeping a crown of a queen. I rolled my eyes expressively noticing Klaus looking away in embarrassment I looked down to observe some sketches 'Wait a second. Did..did you do these?' I looked fascinated the sketches looked amazing they were well drawn.

'Yeah, um... actually one of my landscapes is hanging at the Hermitage, not that anyone would notice. Have you been?' I blushed because I haven't been anywhere actually 'I've never really been anywhere.'

'I'll take you. Wherever you want Rome..Paris..Tokyo?', 'Oh wow.' We laughed.

'Must be really nice to just snap your fingers and get whatever you want.' he smiled, I continued 'Is that why you collect hybrids? A little servant army to take you places and bring you things.'

'You're making assumptions.' he sighed. 'Then why do you need Tyler? Stop controlling him. Give him his life back.' I really wanted him to leave Tyler alone.

'You know, this has been a fun evening, but I think it's time for you to leave.' he tried to act intelligent but it didn't work. 'I get it. Your father didn't love you, so you assume that no one else will either. And that's why you compel people or you sire them or you try to buy them off.' I took the bracelet off and threw it to him 'But that's not how it works. You don't connect with people, because you don't even try to understand them.' I walked away enraged.


I kept on staring to the paintings in the room, I recognised a drawing from a few distance away I tried approaching it but I was stopped 'You like my sketches?' I turned around and smiled. 'You seem to stop me each time I try to admire something.' referring to the horse and now to the paintings, I approached the bin and threw my coffee into it. I took the chance while Klaus was looking away and took a look on that picture and like I thought it was..me. I opened my eyes wide and turned around 'I think I'll be going.' Klaus nodded and I left.

I went upstairs to put my shoes on as I went down Klaus was waiting for me, I tried to avoid him but he grabbed my hand and kissed me I kissed him back and sighed in relief 'You will just have to wait.' I went outside to my car, I was just about to get into my car I was grabbed from behind I felt like I was injected with something I tried to scream but there was a hand on my mouth to shut me, I tried to fight and suddenly I was taken very fast even faster than a lighting bolt, I didn't feel anything eventually, everything went dark.
