Transcript from The Originals 3x2 (I clearly don't own it!)
KLAUS: There's a very short list of people who've tried to take Hope away from me, and you're the only one left breathing.
HAYLEY: [enraged] Are you that delusional, Klaus? You cursed all of us! Every wolf that I fought for, everyone that stood up for our daughter. You took all of them away from their families!
KLAUS: Yes, yes, your precious pack, that family you choose over us, and in doing so, you chose over Hope.
Hayley dropped. Neck broken. Dead to the floor.
Klaus looked stunned for a moment because it wasn't by his own hands. He looked to the tall blonde who stood in place of Hayley.
"Urg, she's extremely annoying." Caroline blurted out in a huff, straightening her blazer with one hand because she had a few full manilla folders in the other.
A hybrid minion from the corner caught their eye in fear and questioning. Klaus beckoned him forward with a slight hand, whispering in all seriousness, "Take her to her room and make sure she's placated when she awakes."
The minion went to lift Hayley's body gently and Klaus's smirk turned back to Caroline's blatant fully disgusted face.
"I should have known she's hybrid now." She spat out at him and his devious grin widened in understanding.
"You thought you just killed her?" he stepped forward now that Hayley's body was out of the way, eyeing Caroline suspiciously, his smile slowed, "The mother of my child?" he goaded her.
Clearly her humanity was still very much off and although she'd just snapped Hayley's neck right when he was making his point, he couldn't have been more pleased with her timing.
Caroline just glared back and scoffed, "Like you'd care."
One eyebrow raising to appraise his look, knowing he wasn't truly angry, her eyes flicked down to his chest, "That's a great jacket."
She grabbed a hand out to feel the leather and pulled him much closer. A move he didn't think Caroline wouldn't have been capable of, with a straight face, if she had her humanity.
"You look good." her breath warmed his lips a moment and then she pulled away, vampire quick, slapping the folders onto the coffee table in the room next to them.
He strolled in casually, leaning against the doorframe as he watched her shrug her tuxedo esque black blazer off to reveal a navy blue sleeveless chiffon top that clung to her in all the right places. Seemed like she'd be staying for a bit.
"You know, love. I think I could have really held my breath for you to arrive." Making a joke at her expense, since it'd only been two days since she called.
She met his smirk with an evil cheshire smile of her own and dropped to sit on the leather couch. Crossing her legs with a flourish, "I know. I know" Caroline's tone was so teasing, "This visit wasn't in my plans, but Stephen, and the other heros, vervained me."
Klaus looked at her in interest, liking the sound of her voice but having no idea where she'd be going with this. He only hoped it ended with him in bed or woods with her.
She fiddled with the tassel on the closest throw pillow and knew he was still listening, so she kept talking.
"Locked me in a room, gave me my rap sheet," her hand gestured to the strewn folders, "and my mother's last letter." She paused and looked flippantly at her black nail polish from the back of her hand, "She's dead now. Cancer."
Klaus heard the curt tone that held something more and internally questioned if her humanity was really off or if she was just finally accepting her fate and just faking this coldness. Her vampire life really started, without living human parents to ground her, he pouted a little. His sweet Caroline had just lost her mother.
"They wanted me to turn my humanity back." Caroline mocked as if it was not possible, "I saw it coming, as soon as Stephen didn't want to fuck." Her eyes caught the slight fidget in Klaus's demeanor at her words, smiling again that he'd be jealous.
"Right nowww," she giggled in a purr of triumph, "they think I'm at home, struggling over these kills, taking my time to cry and grieve." she slid forward on the couch, her entire posture changing, elbows on her knees, wide open.
Her hand shot out and knocked the folders around, some pictures sliding loose and Klaus vaguely noticed blood splatters in each one, "Little do they know, I don't give a shit about any of this."
Caroline stood up fluidly, her perfectly tailored suit pants were creased and now that he got a better look, seemed like she might have ran through a bunch of mud in them.
She got right up beside him again, eyes locked together, gripping that nice leather jacket he wore, "But enough about me. What's there to do for fun around here?"
Klaus's eyes dropped from hers and he was taking pleasure in viewing her red stained lips as she licked them knowing what he was about to suggest.
"KLAUS!" a rough manly voice rang out from below in the courtyard.
She rolled her eyes at the disruption, everyone had a problem with him, always. She took a step back, releasing him and Klaus most definitely sighed.
"There's a few things I should take care of." he quelled his anger at having to request an intermission.
Caroline was waving her hand at him dismissively, turning back to the couch, already made up her mind that she'd go out on her own.
She hadn't expected his arm to snake around her waist, his mouth near her neck. Dripping with heat, he whispered, "I'll catch up with you."
Her eyes closed and nodded into him. Knowing he had better meet up with her, or he'd have even more competition in becoming the regent of New Orleans. She smirked at her thought of challenging him and he was already downstairs.
Hearing his voice lull in the distance, threatening someone named Jackson, Caroline shook her head and went to the balcony. Gripping the wrought iron bars, she leaned and breathed in the New Orlean's air.
She felt a heat through her, glanced back into the room. She didn't know if it was the temperature or the proximity to Klaus that flushed her so, but either way she smiled.
Jumping down to the street, Caroline flustered a few people walking but it was forgiven by them. Her grin increased, she could get used to this place, this place which accepted the strange and supernatural so easily.
It was time to go shopping.
Ahh I caved had to write some more humanity off Caroline! More soon!
