CHAPTER SEVEN

New Orleans

She stormed into the study slamming the door shut behind her. Klaus looked up surprised that she had come back and prepared himself for another load of verbal abuse.

-"What is your problem? Why the hell are you so arrogant? why do you push people away? Yeah I get it your daddy didnt want you but guess what mine tortured me and then died before I had forgiven him, yeah youve been alone forever, but because you will never let anybody in, you do terrible things and you dont even feel remorse, and you enjoy making people suffer, but do you know what? there is another side to you, no matter how minuscule it is, you are capable of forgiveness, you let Tyler come home for me, you forgave my friends for me, Ive seen you show compassion, Ive seen you act selflessly maybe once or twice"

-"You will be happy to know Elijah has found the solution to youre traveler problems so he will go back with you and Stefan"

-"Realy, why the hell are you so dificult? I dont care about the travelers at the moment I want to get through youre big ego and youre thick skull"

She was trembling with anger and had an intense look in her eyes, Klaus had never seen her so beautiful before, but still he couldnt stand being near her when he knew she would never see past all he had done, he walked past her and went to the door, Caroline saw his intentions and speeded to the door, she pushed him back into the room and locked the door. Now he realy was lost for words he just didnt know what to expect from her.

-"What do you want Caroline? I have things to do"

-"You are so dumb mr 1000 year old original hybrid"

-"If all you want is to insult me Im sure we can save that for later as Ive already told you I have things to do"

-"I dont want to insult you, I want you to understand"

-"Alas I have no idea what you feel the need to explain to me"

-"I want you to understand me, and what I want"

-"And what may that be?"

She moved closer to him now hoping she was doing the right thing, and doing as her instincts told her, she was a vampire Rebekah was right she had an eternity to be good, now all she wanted was Klaus, they were so close she grabbed his hands in hers and looked deeply into his eyes seeing his scarred soul wanting to make him feel, she moved her face closer to his never moving her eyes from his, He just stood there like in a trance not believing what was happening, hes breathing was getting heavier and the look in her eyes was driving him mad but still he would not make a move afraid of rejection. And then with one sentence she knocked down his walls...

-"I want you Klaus. I want you..."

And with that she leant closer to him and still looking in his eyes she placed her lips on hes and kissed him sweetly and softly, it wasnt a lustful kiss like last time or even a hungry kiss, then more intensly she parted his lips with her tongue and teased his mouth open, placing her arms around his neck and pulling him closer, feeling his body heat and his deep breath, he put his arms on her back and pulled her close as posible as if she could melt into him, he opened his eyes and looked at her to see if she was ok with what was happening she nodded softly still keeping eye contact, and then it was too much for both of them, passion and their instincts took over, they banged against the door in a flash of movement and then flashed into the book case knocking down various books, they carried on kissing each other hungrily as if their lives depended on it, Klaus lifted her up and speeded her to the desk, both still looking at eachother and smirking in a knowing way, he lifted her arms up above her head and lifted her blouse off her, throwing it aside as if it burned him, she grabbed at his shirt and tore it off. She felt so alive and it felt so right, he, felt so right for her and even though they were two vampires it still felt to her like what they were doing wasnt just sex she felt loved the way he touched her and the way he looked at her made her realize that Klaus was capable of feeling, because nobody could be like this and not feel, it was almost desperate but also sweet. All she knew for sure was that she wanted to be here with him and she felt no guilt at all just happy.
When they were both spent they looked at eachother and that smile he saved just for her was on his mouth, she felt the need to kiss him and she leant up and kissed him on the lips, he seemed surprised at this but said nothing. He was actualy starting to believe that it was posible she actualy did want him like she said, and with all his flaws. She pushed him back so he lay on the oriental rug and lay her head on his chest her fingers softly stroking his arm and tracing his tatoo then she realized that she was covered by a table cloth, she looked around the study and burst into laughter, when klaus saw she was laughing he followed her eyes and saw the disaster they had made of the study. And playfully and he said

-"Well I shall be needing a new desk"

.-"And a bookcase,and a chair, and a lamp, and a table, and I think we dented the wall too"

-"Well I hope it lived up to your expectations"

-"Well rest assured my very high expectations are very happy with the outcome"

-"Its the animal in me. I just want to say I expect nothing from you and I understand..."

-"Klaus just shut up and relax, Im quite happy here basking in the aftermath of what your hybrid ass can do, lets just see how things go from here. But I want to be clear on one thing, I chose this, I wanted this, I needed this, so dont start overthinking, lets just take it from here shall we"

She placed another kiss on his lips and he felt truely happy for the first time since he could remember. She got up and started walking around the study wrapped in the table cloth, and she noticed a piece of parchment on the floor, when she looked closer she saw it was a drawing, of her sleeping peacefully, she realized that he was drawing her when she had stormed in. She felt a surge of afection for the most dangerous being in the history of time, and knew that anybody capable of drawing her like this was capable of love. It was then she made another decision, she was going to see this through she would not run away she would not let anybody make her feel bad for this, she was going to take a chance and get to know him just as he had asked her two years ago. Then she returned to the carpet and laydown with him again, they both fell asleep peacefully each with new hopes and aspirations in their minds.

They started to dress, Klaus not having a shirt after Carolines attack on hes clothes, they fixed the study as best they could, trying to erase the evidence of what had happened. When they had finished they stepped out of the door not expecting almost fall into Rebekah, she looked at them and her brother shirtless state and a sly smirk appeared on her face. Seeing the look of dare she think, happiness on her elder brothers face she felt like hugging Caroline, especialy when she saw that Caroline didnt try to hide nothing and was staring at rebekah as though she was just daring her to comment.

-"Well if Id have known giving you a piece of my mind was all it would have taken I would have done it long ago"

Caroline looked at Klaus and started to giggle playfuly, Klaus smirked and before he knew it she had grabbed him by the hand and sped away. When they arrived at her room she carried on laughing feeling at ease with him and all that had just happened. He placed an unsure kiss on her lips, not used to the intimacy or the feelings he had and left to dress. When he had left she sat down on the bed with a sigh and thought about the decision she had made and was surprised that she was completly at ease with it. She felt that she had grown emotionaly in the last couple of hours and was proud of herself for following her instincts without worrying what was correct and even more so, whatwas correct in her friends opinions.
She heard a knock at the door and went to open it, feeling a warm anticipation thinking it could be Klaus. She was wrong it was one of the compelled maids telling her she was expeced in the main room because Elijah had a pressing matter to address with her. Then she remembered what Klaus had said to her while they were still arguing. She felt sad that Elijah had found a solution to the menace back home, but she found herself wishing it had took longer, she wasnt ready to go home. She instantly felt guilty for thinking that and being so selfish ofcourse she knew everybody back home were anxiously waiting for news from her and Stefan, but still a few days wouldnt hurt. She finished dressing and when she looked in the mirror she noticed she had a happy flush in her face and she had to admit she looked better. Well thats what a 1000 year old hybrid will do to a girl she thought to herself and laughed.
She left her room and went downstairs cringing when she walked passed the study. She arrived at the main living room and there was Rebekah, Stefan,Elijah,Hayley and Klaus looking hotter than ever. He looked ather and that little smile appeared but quickly he gained composure and he was once again the king of the quarter. during the whole conversation they kept stealing glances at eachother and Rebekah was quietly watching them loving what she was seeing.

-"Well as you probably suspect, I required to speak to the both of you, because fortunatly after living such a long life one tends to make many aquaintances and owes and is owed many favours. I have contacted a witch related to a former friend of mine from many years ago, and the witch in question happens to know all about the travelers. I have discovered that the travelers only goal through the centurys has been to awaken Silus cure him of hes inmortality and then being just a witch to kill him so he could stay in the company of Quetsiyah for all of eternity. Now having acheived their goal, and the anchor to the supernatural purgatory no longer being the original doppelganger, but one from Quetsiyahs own bloodline, The three originators of all this fiasco being together for eternity that leaves the travelers free to live as they please, you see strange as it seems quetsiyah compelled her people to complete the task of killing Silus, but it was not an ordinary compulsion, but one that was passed down through the generations. now being free from said compulsion, they want to ensure that nothing like that occurs again and to do that they feel that it is necesary to end the doppelganger line, by using a very ancient magic and also the blood of both Stefan and Elena as the last known doppelgangers, they plan to make sure that they stay the last and that no other is ever born. With that they consider they can now live as free people not dedicated to Quetsiyahs obsesion"

After such a long speech Eliyah looked at Stefan who he knew was bursting to ask questions, he was surprised that Caroline had not interupted as usual but when he looked at her he saw she was only barely listening to his tale and stealing knowing glances at Niklaus, Niklaus also had a new air about him, Elijah just hoped that he didnt loose control when his blond infatuation left to reasume her life.

-"So you mean that they took my blood just so they could end the line of doppelgangers?"

-"Yes indeed that is what I mean Stefan"

-"It was a bit harsh, they could have just asked and explained not do it how they did"

-"The travelers are a very close group they do not mingle lightly with other people, also they believe that he doppelgangers are the work of the devil and they do not trust you"

-"Katherine was maybe the work of the devil. so thats it then? its over? all the worry for nothing, wow I cant believe it. Damon will be so relieved to know and Elena will sleep easier I know I will"

-"I would like you to send my regards to Elena please when you return, I honestly appreciated such bravery and compassion in one so young"

-"Yeah sure Elijah, and Im realy gratefull for what youve done for us. Also I thank you Klaus for recieving us in your house and allowing your brother to help us without taking my soul or my humanity or even my free will in return"

-"What was that?"

Klaus seemed a million miles away and he was but Stefan thought he was just being sarcastic.

-"Well Caroline do you want to head back now or rest and leave in the morning? Im going to phone damon and let him know that for once no evil is trying to end us for the first time since I can remember"

Caroline didnt answer straight away but she looked at Stefan sheepishly then glanced at Klaus and saw he was studying the woodwork on a table next to him, she knew he didnt want to look at her, knowing she was leaving. Then she made another decision in a flash and said.

-"Im going to stay here for a while"

She looked at him pleadingly and silently asking him to understand, and Stefan who knew exactly what she wanted decided to trust his friend and not drag her away to safety. He nodded knowingly at her and said

-"Yeah sure, I fill everyone in. And now Im going to call damon. Il see you before I leave tomorrow"

Klaus couldnt believe what had just happened, Rebekah looked at him and nodded in a way that he would understand his sister was happy for how things were working out. Elijah nodded in the same way at Caroline and took a widemouthed Hayley to the smaller living room.
Rebekah noticed the look on her elder brotherss face and decided that it was her cue to leave she grabbed Stefan by the arm and left the room. Onece everybody had left there was an awkward silence and Caroline started thinking that maybe she had not done the right thing she snuck a glance at Klaus and saw he was looking out of the window with a serious look on hes face. She was lost for words and didnt know how to ask if he didnt realy like the idea of her staying here and her pride wouldnt let her ask him. she opted instead for a more physical aproach and slower walked over to him, she took his hand in hers and looked into his eyes he looked back at her but still said nothing not being able to cope with all that was happening. Caroline decided to break the ice as always wanting to take control of the situation.

-"Well Mr Original, I take it you didnt see that one coming?"

-"Id like you to enlighten me on to what you plan to achieve by staying here"

-"Realy?... You are the most irritating person Ive ever met. Fine you want to push me away. Im only too happy to oblige"

And with a last loud sigh she stormed out of the room. And now what was she going to do, she had just shown that she wanted to stay here in New Orleans and he had reacted by being hes usual sarcastic egocentric ass he is. Well he go to hell she would go home and carry on college like she planned. She went up to her room to pack.

WELL WHAT WILL SHE DECIDE TO DO? KLAUS IS STUBBORN AS HELL AND ITS GOING TO BE HARD TO SOFTEN A 1000 YEAR OLD HEART. I HOPE YOU LIKE. ANY PINIONS ARE WELCOME XX
