Caroline's POV

I was awoken by a sound I couldn't quite identify.

I rolled onto my back and opened one eye, reveling in the bliss of the sleep I had just had.

I was so comfortable and warm and the sheets were so silky it was delicious; but that was when it occurred to me, my bed definitely was not this comfortable and nor were my sheets this soft, or this expensive quality.

That's when I identified the sound that awoke me; someone else's breathing…

Slowly, I rolled onto my side and came face to face with a very naked man; or should I say Hybrid. I stared unconsciously for a while at his abs, they were toned and perfect, one's I would expect to see on a Greek god. He looked so harmless and peaceful whilst he was sleeping that I was so tempted to reach out and trace his beautiful features. I gave a sigh of approval before it occurred to me that I was also naked, and generally when a guy and girl are naked together it means they had been doing something pretty intimate beforehand.

Ohmygod, I'd had sex with Klaus.

I held in a little whimper of horror; yes he was cute and insanely sexy, but he was also a pretty bad guy. I knew that I had to leave; I could try and pretend that this had never happened. Gently, I removed the sheet from my body and clambered from the huge, comfortable bed. Eventually, after searching the room completely naked I found my clothes. Quickly I tugged them on, tripping in haste a few times and nearly landing flat on my face.

My hear skipped a beat as Klaus made a sound and rolled over in bed; luckily he settled back into sleep.

Thank god.

I took a moment to look around his room as I'd never been in there before, and I definitely didn't remember anything from last night. His room really was gorgeous, it was antique-chic and was adorned by many beautiful paintings which I assumed he himself had done. As I turned to take in the whole room I found myself staring into a mirror, and I was not pleased with the picture that it portrayed.

My face and neck was smothered in blood, likewise my arms and chest; I could not understand how I hadn't seen this earlier. I gave a shiver of dread and raised my arms to my lips and gave a cautious lick.

Oh no, it was human blood…

I felt as if my heart had stopped; I'd fed from a human last night, straight from the vein, and for all I knew I'd killed them…

I screwed up my eyes trying to prevent the tears from spilling; it was no good they trickled down my cheeks as I contemplated the many scenarios I may have been in. I found Klaus's sketch pad on the side and his pencil; out of pure decency I figured I should at least leave a note for him rather than just walking out after 'doing the deed'.

I scribbled a quick note:

Klaus,

I can't remember what occurred last night; all I know is that my body is covered in blood and it's human. This was what I always feared, your input causing me to make decisions which I'm dead set against. Due to the fact we were both very naked I know I'm safe to assume that something other than cuddling went on last night and for this I am very ashamed. I imagine that we both got very drunk on blood and fell into bed together. We may have shared moments in the past but this one we shall not be repeating any time soon.

Thanks for your hospitality I guess? And please don't get too mad about me sneaking out. I would be grateful if you didn't approach me for a couple of days; I'd like some time to try and remove these thoughts from my head.

Caroline

I grabbed my bag, threw one last look at Klaus's sleeping figure and exited the room.

As I entered the large landing, I looked over the banister. My breath caught in my throat as I saw the scene below; there were so many bodies littering the floor, there had to be at least seventeen. I felt so sick; I had taken part in some kind of kinky blood thing with Klaus and the idea grossed me out. It wasn't just the idea that made the bile rise in my throat, it seems that too much blood consumed by vampires has the same effect as too much alcohol consumed by humans. I gave a little hiccup of distress and tiptoed down the stairs; I had to keep an eye on the time to ensure I was gone before Klaus awoke.

I made it to the door and tugged it open, stepping outside and quietly closing the door behind me. I really was doing the walk of shame…

I climbed into my car and drove shakily home, contemplating the many bad lifestyle choices I'd been making lately.

Stupid girl.
