Yes outrunning Klaus in his own castle sure seemed like a good plan. Not! So many "people" crowding the halls and every door way. Deeper and deeper into his domain I fled. Finally the people became scarce and the music faint; alone. Why run? All this time, waiting for this moment and I was still too scared. Sinking to the stone floor I laid my head in my hands, closing my eyes. Even closing my eyes didn't block the image of his eyes on mine. The sound of footsteps awoke me from my thoughts. My body shivered as I slowly looked up.

"Ms. Drama vampire." That was not the right voice. Standing in front of me was a brunette I would not so forget.

"Hayley?"

"Oh, don't look so shocked." She smiled down at me.

"I….I don't understand." I replied. Standing to meet her eye level, I could tell something was different about her. A fierceness filled her eyes, yet her body was calm.

"Hayley?" A male's voice shouted from down the closest hallway. I watched Hayley's face light up as she turned towards the voice.

"I'm here Elijah!" She replied. What, what is going on here? The ever noble looking Elijah appeared vampire speed next to Hayley. He wrapped his hand around hers and smiled.

"Caroline Forbes. It's a pleasure to see you again." He took my hand in his free one and kissed the top. I forced a smile to my face, still so confused.

"Umm." I started, but I couldn't find the words. Hayley lightly laughed.

"Still in shock?" I shook my head.

"I just don't really understand what is going on. The people here call Klaus a king and he's throwing giant parties." I paused looking at the pair. "Then there's you two, I mean, Hayley how did you even end up here?"

They smiled at each other, but the look held great depths of emotion. Something serious had happened here. Something that changed everything and everyone, maybe it had changed Klaus. Would he want her anymore? Stupid insecurities were beginning to creep in again when..

"I think the real question is how you ended up here, love." Instantly my body froze, as a sharp gasp left it. My dead heart raced as my mind try to catch up to it.

"Leave us." He ordered Hayley and Elijah.

The air surrounding us seemed to thin as he slowly walked around to face me. Mere feet away, I could feel his breathe barely graze my skin. Time ticked away, with no words spoken. His eyes moving up and down me, almost as if trying to determine if I was real or not. He stepped forward, slowly bring his fingertips to mine. I felt as if my body was going to crumble at his touch. That sideways grin lit up his face as he locked eyes with mine.

"Hello Caroline."
