Chapter 4

Caroline opened her eyes and stretched on the couch, she couldn't remember the last time she had a good night's sleep. She rolled to her side and she stayed still as she saw Klaus sleeping next to her. 'So it wasn't a dream." She thought as yesterday was getting clearer. She sat up on the couch an looked at him, sleeping so peacefully. She couldn't help but smile to herself. The one man she refused to let herself fall for was the man she wanted to lose herself into. She wrapped the sheet around her body and got up. She went upstairs as quietly as possible and got in the shower. She stayed under the hot water until it turned cold, and that was when she understood that last night could not just un-happen. She got dressed and started making her way downstairs when half way down she saw the couch empty. He left and as the spot on the couch was empty, that empty she felt inside her. She took a deep breath "Good." she said to herself trying to convince herself that it truly was good that he left.

Marcel stood by his car looking at Klaus as he was picking his coffee from a local cafe and not only that, but breakfast and from the looks of it the assistant as well. Klaus seemed relax and calm and Marcel tried to remember when was the last time he had seen him like that. He was smiling to his luck that even after all this time; he may finally have the chance to take Klaus down. Some of his most royal followers were already working on making Marcel's army bigger. All it took him was bit of blackmail to the little hybrid, Hayley. She told him everything she knew about Miss Caroline Forbes and her relationship with Klaus. But most of all she showed him something great, Haley was jealous of her. Very jealous actually. Marcel knew how to read behind the lines and take advantage of the things people didn't want to say, but showed. And then it was the witches, they were more tricky to manipulate than Hayley but there were a couple that still liked him and agreed to help him with a little spell " Heavens bless witchy GPS." he said and smiled as Klaus and a brunette from the cafe were getting in his car and Marcel got in his tightening the steering wheel in his hand 'It's all up to you, man.' he thought 'Don't mess things up.'

Klaus parked in front of the house and walked inside, it was unable for him to hide the huge smile on his lips. Caroline was so intense last night. She held him on her body like there would be no tomorrow. He leaned against the kitchen door and watched her as she was washing some glasses while the washing machine was working on the background, probably washing the sheets they slept on trying to erase his scent from them. She had her earplugs on listening to music and singing with that angelic voice of hers. He took a couple steps and wrapped his arms around her waist. He laughed when she jumped surprised from his presence there she turned around and pulled the earplugs out from her ears. "What the hell, Klaus? I thought you left." He raised his brow surprised by her reaction. It was annoying trying to understand what she would want the next moment. Caroline saw the girl standing by the door and bleeding from her neck, Klaus had obviously already fed from her "Do you have any idea what kind of trouble this will cause me? Do you ever consider anyone but yourself?" Klaus closed his eyes trying really hard to control himself and not just snap her neck. She had forgiven a lot but each time her manners towards him seemed to be worse. He run to the girl and with one fast move he snapped her neck "There problem solved." He let the girls' dead body fall on the floor in front of Caroline's surprised eyes "You know what, I am so tired of this. It was obviously a mistake coming to find you. I am an artist and I have a tender heart. But I assure you that this will never happen again. I'm done with you, Caroline." And with that he disappeared before she ever had the chance to say anything. She stood there looking at the open door, the coffee and the breakfast he brought and her heart sank in her chest. 'Am I the heartless one?' she thought as she kneeled next to the girl covering her body with a blanket 'Did I really just ruined a one of a kind opportunity to help Klaus be something else than heartless?'

Marcel was waiting inside of his car this whole time, he saw Klaus leaving alone –and obviously mad- something that was common when he was with Caroline according to Hayley- and if he was right and had really understood that girls mind she would go out soon, now that the sun was down, and bury the dead body. Apparently she was on some sort of different technique to survive, not drink from humans but from the blood bags that were in the hospitals. That actually made him laughs. "These new vampires and their crazy ideas." He told to himself and sat up as he saw her come out of the house. And he was right of course. Wrapped in a blanket, she was currying the girls' dead body and walking towards an empty field and passed some pine trees. When he calculated that she was in a safe distance and distracted enough to not hear him approach her he got out of the car, leaving the door open, and followed her. He lurked behind a tree looking at her digging a grave and placing the body inside. He sat up getting ready to make his move and as she started covering the hole he whooshed behind her and snapped her neck. "There you go, sweet Caroline. That would keep you asleep until we arrive to our destination. New Orleans is waiting for you."
