AN : Standing in the very fanfictional realm, right now. Words her good heart might have written. Imagine the circumstances you'd like.
201..
Klaus,
I've been delaying this moment for too long. I'm not even sure I'll have the courage to send it. Just in case, here goes nothing. I heard you all those times, I heard you and I believed you. The night you bit me was an eye-opener and the moment you agreed to give Tyler a headstart was defining too. I didn't leave Mystic Falls with him. I stayed to fight. And was I right too ! Silas's here now. Never thought I'd say this, but he is much worse than you ever were. He's not just resentful or hurt, he's...unkind, he thrives on darkness. I understand you now much better than I thought I could. I'm glad I got to know you. You're impressive on so many levels. I believe you can achieve whatever you set your mind to. You're not cursed, Klaus. You don't believe you're still capable of humanity, because you never looked to keep it at any cost. But you can. I know you can. For me or for any other reason, you can. And that's enough, more than enough. All we can ever do is try. Please, don't shy away or whatever it is you do from feeling. Because that's not just human. That's a huge part of being a vampire. Heightened sensations, that's who we are. I always found it funny that vampires could say humans were weak for feeling – we feel a lot more than they do, actually.
Truthfully, I'm honored to know you. I'll never regret any of it. So, thank you. I wish I could have said that standing in front of you, but circumstances bind me to write it instead. I'm sorry, you deserve more. You'll always do.
Caroline
