Hey there my lovlies:) I would just like to thankyou for all your support from the bottom of my heart, because it genuinely means so much to me So this chapter has some Klaroline interaction.. I hope you enjoy it;P

Soon after Caroline retired for the night, I heard her crying and I too excused myself, making sure to give Damon one last death stare before heading to my studio. As I walked past her room, I heard her calling for her mum through muffled cries, I felt a heart I didn't even know existed, break.

I wanted nothing more than to go and comfort her, but I couldn't bring myself to go. So I did the only thing I could, painted. That mesmerizing smile from when I went to visit her combined with the tears in her eyes that I saw only moments ago.

I heard someone walking into the studio and upon sniffing the air I identified it as Stefan. He stopped at the door and just stood there for a few moments, and I didn't push him to speak.

"It's... beautiful", he said awkwardly, "Only you can make someone look beautifully happy and agonisingly sad at the same time."

I smiled despite myself.

Caroline's POV

I was completely cried out and drifting off to sleep when I heard heavy footsteps pass my door.

"Nik!" I heard a voice say which I soon identified as Tony's.

I tuned in with my vampire hearing, it's times like this I love being a vampire, I thought.

"Pester me another time Tony, I'm trying to focus", Klaus said tiredly.

"Well, focus another time, I have a bone to pick with you." Tony spoke exasperated.

I sat up in bed, Tony is standing up to Klaus... this I need to hear.

When Klaus didn't reply Tony continued, "You knew the affect what you said was going to cause and yet you still said it."

"Well mate, what can I say... Old habits die hard, she did try to kill me", Klaus said calmly.

"An entirely one-sided affair, I'm sure," Tony snapped.

"Tony, tread lightly, I'm not in the mood to be lectured, I really couldn't care less what your thoughts are", Klaus said slowly.

"Oh.. how sorry I am for that, but next time you pull a stunt like that, don't expect me to stop the curse from hitting you because the only thing I'll be doing is making it hurt more", Tony said.

So Tony's the one who protected Klaus, I thought, but he didn't move an inch, or even mutter anything. My thoughts were interrupted by Klaus speaking again.

"I never asked for your help Tony or the witches for that matter", Klaus said, his voice rising.

"You never do, but.. you can't help Caroline on your own, she doesn't... trust you... yet", Tony said hesitantly.

"Perhaps you could do that for me then, because APPARENTLY she'll allow everyone except me to help her, I'm only good for blaming right TONY!" Klaus voice rose with every word.

"Well, maybe if you didn't.. I dunno kill her friends aunty or brag about the people you did kill, she would actually want to get to know you, and -".

"Tony!" Nat said softly from somewhere, "That's enough".

"Oh no Nat, don't stop him.. I am looking forward to killing him if he continue's to speak!" Klaus said angrily.

"As the most powerful warlock you've ever met.. I'm dare you to try," Tony said warningly.

The next thing I heard was someone storming past my door again. I guess Klaus' friends are good for him, was the last thing I thought before sleep claimed me.

When I woke up the next morning, I felt the need for fresh air. So I showered and and skipped breakfast, heading outside. I didn't even know where I was going, I just let my feet decide.

That's when I heard Klaus' voice, but I'd never heard it quite like this before. "That's a good girl", it was a beautiful scene to look at, Klaus was in full riding gear brushing down a pure white Camarillo horse. "Le ciel est par-dessus le toit, si bleu, si calme", Klaus spoke soothingly as the horse nuzzled him playfully.

"Good morning love", Klaus said pleasantly.

I stood stock still for a moment before replying softly, "Hi"

"You have a horse", I said slowly.

"Well we seem to be stating the obvious lately Caroline, first I have friends and then I have a horse..." Klaus smiled turning to look at me for the first time.

I blushed deeply and silently cursed myself as he studied my face. He seemed to be assessing my features to see if I was approachable or not.

To my surprise, Klaus held out his hand for me to take. I hesitated before taking it, he gently tugged me closer to his horse, so I was standing in front of him, then he held our still holding hands up to the horse's muzzle.

"I remember that you like horse's", Klaus whispered.

Until then I didn't realize just how close we were to eachother, I felt his warm breath on the back of my neck and shivered.

"What's hi.. his n-name?" I stuttered out.

I heard him chuckle before saying, "Her name is Aliyah."

As Klaus removed his hand from on top of mine Aliyah stretched her neck forward to try and make contact with his hand again and I took of advantage of that, ducking low and moving to the other side of her head.

"Aliyah", I repeated, "What does that mean?"

"It means Homeland" Klaus said quietly.

"Oh! Like the people that are searching or you.. how sweet!" I snapped

That's when I started laughing. Klaus' head shot in my direction, he looked confused and for good reason, even I didn't really know why I was laughing..

Klaus' face transformed in front of me, his confused expression turned slowly into a small grin, and then into a full fledge dimpled smile.

"Your mood swings really do give me whiplash," I choked out.

"My moods... what are you - Oh you heard last night", Klaus stated, his facing becoming serious.

"Bonnie is my best friend Klaus, and I don't appreciate you trying to act more evil than you actually are, just because people aren't as scared of you anymore", I said before I could stop myself.

Klaus looked at my face and broke out into a cheesy smile.

"Well then love, if you don't appreciate it, I suppose...", Klaus teased, "And they are still scared of me..all of them are." He looked down at the floor while smiling.

I knew the reaction he was looking for, but I couldn't hold myself back.

"I'm not afraid of you... I used to be.. but not anymore", I said strongly, he tilted his head up slightly, and with his eyebrows raised he looked up at me.

"Is that so Ms Forbes?" He said lightly.

I just shrugged as an answer, "Well we might have to do something about that then," he teased.

Aaaaaaannnnnnddddddddd... his phone started ringing

"Klaus", he answered. His faced turned serious instantaneously.

"Where?" He exclaimed.

He hung up and looked at me before disappearing into thin air.
