CHAPTER #4

CAROLINE'S P.O.V.

I come back into the kitchen, to find him moping around with his head in his hands. I do not really pay any mind to him and make myself accustomed to his kitchen. I begin to raid the cupboards looking for some shot glasses. Every family has to have at least 4. Eventually I find 2 shot glasses, and put them on the counter. I decide between whiskey and vodka. but decide to rotate between the two. I fill up the glasses ¾ way up.

"Cheers Klaus!" I say with an ecstatic voice. I pull his head up by his hair so he can see my excited face.

"I do not drink, Caroline!" he says with his usual serious tone and a mopey face.

UGH! He is so boring, he needs to liven up. I put on my best sarcastic face and tone.

"Well, great I LOVE beginners!"

He looks up at me and I can see his slight smirk.

"There's your fun side!" I say in my best cheerleader voice. I really did want to make him comfortable after all, we are going to be stuck in each other's presence for the next few mondays. We might as well get to know each other!

Then the light bulb dinged in my brain...5 QUESTIONS!

I slide his shot closer towards him, gesturing for him to take it. Once he puts it to his lips and I begin to chug the bottle. I realize that A, I am going to have to drink 3 times the amount as Klaus to be nearly as drunk. B, He is definitely a light weight so this is going to be fun! Once I see his eyes begin to open after the burning sensation of the alcohol, I put down the bottle.

"We should play 5 questions!"

"What is that ?"

"Simple it's a game where we ask each other 5 questions, and after each question that we answer we take a shot..if you refuse to take a question you take two shots and you still answer the question." I say with a devious smile, knowing I was bluffing the rules a little bit.

I see him hesitate slightly, then he nods.

"Alright, but you start!"

I put on a wide smile and grab the vodka, chugging down at least 5 shots worth.

KLAUS' P.O.V.

I tell her to start because I do not want to ask the wrong question and it becomes supremely awkward. My way, to be safe rather than sorry. I watch her cautiously as she pours another 2 shots. She furrows her eyebrows together, thinking of a question. It is actually quite adorable, her sense of frustration to the littlest things.

She takes a deep breath, with a slight sigh.

"Why or how are you so smart?" She asks with some uncertainty in her voice.

I must look disappointed, I guess I was. I don't know I expected more, something more extravagant. Something with more depth. I go into a deep thought without even realize.

When I shake off my little day dream, I see her smiling. Obviously, realizing my disappointment.

"Relax Mikaelson, we are just starting off light!"

I can feel the redness coming towards my cheeks. I shake it off trying to stay cool and collected.

I take deep breath, knowing that this was a pretty serious question to me.

"Well, I am not naturally smart. I work my ass off because I want an amazing future, so I can travel the world and live an extraordinary life. I do not want to dwell in this old, small town, I want to see things that I could not imagine. So being smart and going to an amazing University will help a lot!"

I put my head down realizing how much crap I just said. I gave her my life speech, she must think I am such a Moran. I finally find the balls to look at her. I was FLABBERGASTED, as she was smiling like a damn fool with glistened eyes.

"Wow Mikaelson, I am shocked by your answer but touched by the depth of your answer. I really do respect your answer, and hope you get to travel the world. I would love to do that one day."

I give off my best wolfish grin showing off my dimples. How can she be so infuriating yet I can be so infatuated with her all at the same time. She is such a bright and beautiful soul and so honest and brutal sometimes. What a creature!

I quickly grab my shot, and close my eyes as the burning liquid slides down my throat.

"Alright love, why do you play dumb? When as you clearly said you are not"

She looks at me shocked by my bluntness. I was about to apologize because the alcohol was obviously kicking in the courageousness. But before I could speak, she began to smile taking my breath.

"I don't play dumb, it is just easier to not pay attetion and then show them Caroline Forbes is no fool! I guess it is easier so guys do not get all offended by my snarky remarks, huge ego and brain."

I smile brightly, "Caroline, only stupid jocks get offened by that crap, a strong woman is incredibly attractive." Holy shit, I am such a lightweight! Only 2 shots and I am blabbing my mouth.

She gives me a smile that is full of awkwardness and a bit of seductiveness. If my eyes were not decieving me!

"Alright Mikaelson my turn!"

CAROLINE'S P.O.V.

3 MORE QUESTIONS AND A LOT OF ALCOHOL LATER!

"Mikaelson, we-e are both so d-drunk, we s-s-should quiit"

"F-forbes, I a-am not quitter!"

"A-alright Whatever y-you say!"

"Last qu-question looove"

"Ok ok, w-why have y-you not drunk a-alcohol before t-today?"

I feel him stiffen beside me. Smoooth Forbes, the last question is always the worst.

He sighs really really loud, and chugs down a glass of water.

"I-I am gonna need that to sober up."."

SEVERAL MINUTES LATER OF SOBERING UP.

He take a LONG deep breaths, and rolls his eyes to the sky.

"I did not drink until today because...my dad was a piece of crap drunk that abandoned us when we were young. He came in and out when he needed money. He was the most sickening and shameful person I know. He is the reason I didn't drink because the last thing I want to do is become like him." He says with the straightest voice as if it did not affect him at all.

I feel a huge sense of guilt coming across me. I made him drink, I forced him to do something he clearly did not want to do. I do not know what came over me next. Before I could stop myself, I draped my hands around his neck giving him a comforting hug.

"I am so sorry Klaus, I did not know that it was something so important to you." I say as I feel some tears creep up to the surface of my eyes. Come on Caroline, do NOT cry.

I watch as he rubs his face in exhaustion. He sighs."It is not your fault Caroline.!"

Hearing that accent, I do not know why but it brought a rush through my body. I slowly separated my body from his and our eyes locked. He looks down at my lips as I stare at his. He slowly begins to lean in. Whoaaa. My reality switch kicks in and I snap out of that gaze.

"Uh, I-I gotta go, it is almost 9 o clock...um see you next Monday!" I quickly grab my stuff and hurry out the front door. SNAP OUT OF IT FORBES!

KLAUS' P.O.V

Shit,shit,shit,SHIT! What in the hell just happened? I did not even realize what was happening until I saw her leaving. I almost KISSED Caroline Forbes. Alcohol can really grow you some HUGE balls! It is going to be so awkward. I knock my head against my granite counter. We are barely friends, I do not even have her number for god's sake. Ughh...FML!

REVIEWS

Once again, a very interesting chapter !
I just have a question about the supernatural aspect of your story : are they all vampires or is it like in canon, with Klaus as a hybrid and some people humans ?

REPLY:

Klaus will not be a hybrid, although I may or may not give him place in the supernatural world.

I am glad that you liked the chapter! Hopefully this one will be just as good or better.
