I do not own any part of vampire diaries. I love reviews. I'm still working out how this site works, if you'd like to offer help on that PM me please. I know the last chapter had a few issues but after I uploaded it, I haven't been able to figure out how to edit it without removing or replacing the entire document.

Klaus knew that the sunflowers would be arriving shortly, if they hadn't already. His plan to woo the young Miss Forbes was about to begin. Before falling into a dream filled slumber the night before, he thought of his time with Caroline. He knew that with each encounter she grew more accustomed to his presence, each time she was more inviting. Of course his dear Caroline still put up a front, but after a thousand years Klaus was a master at reading people. Certainly Caroline would still be a challenge, but if there was one thing he loved in this wretched world, it was a challenge. He was determined to slowly tear down the wall she had built between them, even if it was brick by brick. Although the ultimate goal was to make Caroline his, he knew he would have to place a concerted effort in the behavior department; he would have to refrain from killing innocents, her friends, and leave the witch and doppelganger at peace…. For the time being.

Caroline stared down at the card for what seemed like hours but was really mere minutes, before placing it down on the table. Klaus was beginning to get under her skin; she had always found Klaus attractive. How could she not? He was handsome; his dimples could make anyone melt and that bloody accent would drive her wild. He was also cultured, rich, powerful, and unlike any other hormone raging guy her age, Klaus cared about what Caroline had to say…. How did he put it? He wanted to know her hopes, her dreams, everything she wanted in life. As cliché as it all sounded, it was actually the first time anyone had ever asked her those things. She stood there in a daze remembering how she tried to ward off his charm telling him to keep his expensive jewelry and romantic drawings. She had faltered momentarily; luckily he didn't pick up on the longing her voice held when she told him this outside the Mystic Grill, so long ago. "UUGHHH!" Caroline growled in frustration, stomping off to her room. She needed to get out of this house, away from his memory, she couldn't like Klaus, and she couldn't be his, for Christ's sake! She was still with Tyler! That's it she thought, I'll go to Tyler's house. Yes, they were supposed to be "broken up" but if Klaus was there or showed up she could say she was picking up her things. With that, she got ready and headed over to Tyler's.

When Caroline arrived at Tyler's, she walked straight in. For a split second, it seemed like no one was home, then Caroline heard the frantic beating of two hearts accompanied by an animalistic growl. Fearing the worst, Caroline "vamped" to Tyler's room. To her dismay, Tyler was not being tortured… he was being FUCKED!

As Caroline burst into the room, Tyler froze; Hayley however, wore a smile of triumph. Caroline jumped across the room ripping out Hayley's carotid artery before closing in on Tyler. She was screaming obscenities, her mind was racing, she felt the click as her humanity turned off and she was unleashed onto Tyler without a shred of remorse.

Then, Caroline snapped back to reality; Tyler was still frozen and Hayley still wore her smile of triumph. Instead of destroying Hayley and Tyler like she had envisioned, Caroline looked at Hayley and said "I knew it smelled like a bitch in heat." Then she turned to Tyler "I always knew you were a dog." And Caroline exited the room; her humanity intact but her heart shattered into pieces. She drove the long way home, hoping to clear her head, but her mind was blank.

Klaus had arrived shortly after Caroline left to Tyler's. He decided he would need to develop patience in order to acquire his fair Caroline. He'd been waiting for her for a little over and hour on the front steps. When she pulled into the drive way, a slight grin spread on his face due to her arrival.

As Caroline pulled into the drive, she spotted Klaus. Typically, she would retort, throwing his affections aside, making a sassy remark, and leave him standing in her wake; but today was different. She was brimming with anger, rage, pushing away her sadness… her emotions turned to lust as soon as she laid her eyes on Klaus. As she stepped out of the car, Klaus called to her, "My dear Caroline, I presume you received the flowers this morn-?"

Before Klaus could get the words out, Caroline was on him. She had him pinned to her house, kissing him furiously. Klaus's body responded with tension and resistance, unsure of what brought this on. Caroline could feel him recoil but her lips, tongue, hands, and body urged him on. Klaus began to return her affections timidly at first, and then he was on her. His age apparent in his strength as he flipped her against the house, cracking the siding, "No worries, I'll fix that." Before a minute could pass they were inside Caroline's house, in her bedroom, knocking furniture over, breaking pictures, cracking the plaster on the walls. Caroline's hands rushed Klaus's body; at first knotted in his hair, then under his shirt, rubbing his body, searching his body, longing for his skin. Klaus had kept his hands cupping Caroline's face but as their movements intensified, he lowered his hands to cup just under her ass before lifting her up around his waist and slamming her against her door. He was in disbelief; these last few days had been the luckiest of his thousand years on this atrocious planet; Caroline and Tyler had broken up, he got Caroline to accompany him on a date, and now… now she couldn't keep her hands off him. He had finally won! He had finally caught his light, when things had finally started rolling; it had been so easy, almost… too easy. He stopped then, lowering Caroline to the floor, pushing her needy body away, before stepping back.

He placed his hands behind his back, pacing away, and then turning towards her, his eyes downcast… "Caroline, love..." He began softly, "What happened?"

Caroline froze. How could he know? Why couldn't he be like every other guy? Oh that's right; he's the thousand year old gentleman. Figures, the one guy she wants to regret as a mistake, won't let her. "Nothing. Did you think… maybe I finally realize my feelings for you?" She stammered.

Anger seeped into Klaus's eyes, "Do not lie to me, Caroline. Who are we daggering now? Who is going to be resurrected next?" Guilt spiraled through Caroline as she thought of all her past betrayals. "Tyler and I broke up."

"Love, that was days ago, what has happened now?" Klaus could not tell whether Caroline was lying or not, she always seemed to pull the wool over his eyes. His judgment was clouded by his feelings for her. "Fine!" Caroline snapped as she sat on the bed. This brought a smile to Klaus's face. This was the Caroline he knew, this Caroline made sense to him. "Now tell me what's really bothering you. What has you so troubled you felt the need to ravish me before you could even make it through your doorway?"

Caroline would blush if she could, as she debated on what to say next. Should she tell him the truth? The truth about breaking the sire bonds, using their date as a distraction, the fake break up, then the real break up? Would he kill her? Would he kill Tyler? How did she feel about Tyler dying? Yes, she was mad now, but what about later? Would she calm down, would she forgive him? Caroline's mind was racing, trying to decide what her next move should be. These past few days she had felt a stronger connection to Klaus. She didn't have an irate phone call from Elena today, so she assumed Damon was neither dead nor missing; so Klaus had refrained from killing Damon. She looked up from hear hand in her lap. Klaus was still waiting patiently for her reply.

"I can't tell you. You'll kill me." Caroline whispered. Klaus chuckled, smiling freely, "Caroline, I have had plenty of opportunities to end your life, if I wanted you dead, you would have been dead long before this moment. Now, tell me what is wrong." He insisted.

"Okay, okay, Tyler and I broke up, broke up. I caught him having sex with Hayley." Klaus's face remained blank, waiting for her to continue. "Before, Tyler and I were not really broken up; it was only a ruse to distract you." She tensed, waiting for his outburst. Klaus's jaw tightened, "Distract me from what?"

"Klaus… you have to promise me you won't kill anyone apart of the plan." Caroline was nervous now, she didn't know what to do. Klaus stared at her. "I don't believe you are in a position to bargain, sweetheart. NOW TELL ME!" Caroline feared for her life… "I was distracting you, so Hayley and Tyler could help break the sire bond of the other hybrids." Klaus chuckled, "That's all? Well I'm sorry you and Tyler broke up but honestly, you deserve much better." Confusion masked Caroline's face "You're not mad about the sire bond stuff?"

"Caroline, a man cannot be around for a thousand years and not know when there is a plot against him. When Hayley arrived in town, I could tell her and Tyler had a strong connection. Not just sex, but more than that. I put two and two together instantly. I assumed she could only be in town to break the sire bond with the other hybrids. I have a counter plan of my own concerning that situation." Klaus explained.

Caroline relaxed; thank god he wasn't going to kill her. "However…" Klaus interrupted her thoughts, "Again, you betrayed me. There is only so much rejection and manipulation a man can take." With that, Klaus stood and began to exit the room, pausing to say, "Oh and love, I had really expected you to treat yourself and your body with more respect." And with that, Klaus was gone.

For once, Klaus had the last word. Caroline was left standing in his wake.
