I own nothing...

So this is all flashback and my own original storyline, I hope you like it!

"She wants to save me," Caroline informed Klaus when she entered their room. "Elena seems to almost trust me. Told you."

"Yes I know," Klaus said rolling his eyes, "Being nice helps too. Earn their trust, get information, use it against them."

"I also have been invited in," Caroline reminded him. "I could snatch her up in a second. Too bad I like her, but I love you."

"Not at first," Klaus said smirking, "You didn't care for me at all."

"Well you didn't do it the right way," Caroline said.

Paris, 1658

"Here again?" Caroline said walking up to Klaus. "This is the third time this week."

"Your voice is so mesmerizing, love," Klaus said smiling his dimples coming into view, "It draws me in."

"Why?" Caroline said finally asking the question that had been eating away at her, "Why me? I am not the prettiest one here, I am not even the star."

"You have a light around you Caroline," Klaus said, "I have lived a long time in the dark."

"The dark?" Caroline said confused, "What do you mean?"

"Another time," Klaus replied, "I will see you tomorrow, love."

When Caroline went to bed that night she saw a blue box on her bed. She rolled her eyes. What was in it this time? A necklace? A broach? Caroline sighed and opened it. There was only a piece of paper. She enrolled it and saw it was a picture of her. It had a note on the bottom.

By far the loveliest girl I have ever seen - Klaus

Caroline couldn't stop the smile on her face. This was how she saw her? In the picture she looked beautiful. She had told him once she wasn't a prostitute. Would he still want her if he found out that she used to be?

K&C

"Hello Cara," A voice from behind Caroline said. She froze, "Cara" was the name she was known to the men she used to sell herself too. She had finished with all that.

"I'm sorry," Caroline said turning around. She didn't even recognize the face, they had all blended together. "You have the wrong person."

"I believe I do," He said coming closer, "I remember those pretty eyes."

"I don't do that anymore," Caroline told him, "Excuse me..." Caroline tried to get past him but the man blocked her path.

"Where are you going off to in such a hurry?" He asked.

"I am needed ba..." Caroline began.

"You are needed for other things too," He said cutting her off, "Come now, love." Love. Klaus called her that. When Klaus called her love it made her heart flutter, but when this man said it her heart went cold.

"No," Caroline said with as much force as she could. He laughed humorlessly.

"No?" He said with a sneer, "You are a prostitute. Girls like you never say no." With that he grabbed her arm and led her away from the crowd. She tried to call for help but with all the talking going on around no one heard her. Besides she was only a chorus girl.

K&C

"Again, really?" Rebekah asked her brother who was getting ready to go the opera. "You're pathetic."

"Maybe." Klaus said, "There is something about her, as if she could see past it all."

"That she wouldn't see you as a monster?" Rebekah asked and Klaus just looked at her. "Go on then."

Klaus entered the theater and looked for Caroline in the lobby where the cast were greeting the audience, but couldn't see her anywhere. He listened for her and heard Caroline's voice say, "Please...please let me go. No! No...get away from me...!" In a blink Klaus was gone. He opened the door of the coat closet and tore the man off of Caroline. Klaus's eyes were red and his fangs were out. He bit into the man's neck killing and throwing him aside. Klaus faced Caroline who was looking at him in horror. He was wrong it seems, she couldn't see past him. Klaus could only watch as her face turned from one of horror to one of relief. Caroline threw her arms around his waist and buried her head in his chest. Klaus stiffened in shock, but she didn't let go.

"You saved me," Caroline said and Klaus felt his shirt getting wet and knew she was crying. "Thank you." He finally let himself hug her back. She looked up at him with tear filled eyes.

"What can I do?" He asked.

"Can you take me home?" Caroline said, "Just take me home."

"Okay," Klaus said and she let go but her knees gave out and Klaus caught her and picked her up. Caroline's arms tightened around his neck. Looking around and seeing that no one had witnessed anything Klaus did as she asked and brought her home, his home.

"What is this Nik?" Rebekah asked as she opened the door letting her brother in.

"A man tried to force himself on her," Klaus told Rebekah.

"Did she see what you are?" Rebekah asked as Klaus laid Caroline down on the bed. She had fallen asleep somewhere between there and here.

"Yes," Klaus replied looking down at the blond girl, "She looked right at me, there was still blood on my lips then she..."

"She what?" Rebekah asked.

"She hugged me and thanked me for saving her," Klaus answered and Rebekah's eyes went wide.

"Thanked you?" Rebekah said shocked.

"Yes," Klaus said.

"You were right it seems," Rebekah said, "She is different."

"She looks like an angel," Klaus said.

Klaus was sketching by the fire when Caroline found him. She walked carefully into the room not wanting to disturb him.

"Feeling better Caroline?" He said not looking up.

"I could have been a lot worse," Caroline said coming closer, "Thank you again for what you did."

"I wasn't about to allow a women to be violated," Klaus said, "I am not that monstrous. Please have a seat." Klaus gestured to the chair in front of him. Caroline sat down and smiled tentatively at him. "Are you afraid of me?" He asked.

"Should I be?" Caroline said.

"Yes," Klaus said, "You should be terrified of me. Running through the streets yelling that monsters are among us."

"Because you have killed people?" Caroline asked and Klaus nodded, "Well then I am a monster too."

"Self defense?" Klaus asked.

"In a way, yes," Caroline answered.

"Do you know what I am Caroline?" Klaus asked.

"A...a vampire?" Caroline said hesitantly.

"Yes," Klaus said, "I kill for food and pleasure. Afraid now?"

"You saved me," Caroline said, "You gave me gifts and drew pictures of me. That man did not frighten me at all. Is that person gone?"

"No," Klaus answered.

"You confuse me, but I am not afraid," Caroline said and then asked, "Do you know what I am?"

"A girl who loves to sing? A girl who's whole face lights up when she smiles? A girl who's life hasn't been easy yet never lets it get her down?" Klaus asked, "That girl?"

"A girl who sold herself?" Caroline said.

"A girl who stopped, because she knew that wasn't the life she wanted to live," Klaus said, "You are stronger then you look."

"I am." Caroline said and then changing the subject asked, "What are you drawing?"

"You," Klaus said showing her the sketch. "Your face haunts me, love."

"Well it doesn't have to now," Caroline said, "Here." Caroline said moved her chair closer to the fire. "Better light right?"

"You want me to draw you?" Klaus asked and Caroline nodded. "All right, hold still."

Caroline fell asleep in the chair a little while later. Klaus picked her up and carried her to the bed again. Just as he was about to go he felt Caroline grab his wrist.

"Don't leave," Caroline said sleepily, "I don't want to be alone."

"Need not worry, love," Klaus said, "I am watching over you."

K&C

"Tell me more," Caroline said a couple nights later. She didn't feel safe at the opera house anymore and so Klaus offered her a room at his very large, obviously expensive apartment that he shared with his sister. Rebekah was in Italy at the moment shopping. Caroline didn't know that he had really sent his sister away so he could have some alone time with her, and every night Caroline would sit for him.

"I shouldn't," Klaus said as his pencil worked along with the paper, "We try and keep what we are secret, humans cannot know what it really out there."

"I won't tell," Caroline said leaning closer.

"Stop moving," Klaus said and Caroline sat still.

"Please," Caroline said trying again, "I won't tell a soul I swear."

"Meaningless words coming from a human my dear," Klaus said.

"Who would believe me?" Caroline asked.

"You would be surprised," Klaus replied.

"Fine, just tell me how old you are," Caroline pleaded wanting something.

"Alright I am over 650 years old," Klaus said and Caroline's eyes went wide.

"Wow," Caroline said, "All the things you must have seen. Lucky."

"Lucky in someways I suppose," Klaus said, "Cursed in others."

"The blood?" Caroline asked.

"The joy in the taking of the blood," Klaus answered, "I enjoy watching my victims scream. I like ripping their throats out until they are dead. I will do anything to get what I want, anything. Kill anyone without blinking. Take out entire families of those who cross me. Do not try and find noble qualities in me Caroline you won't find them. I might have saved you, but I have killed far more. Scared now?"

"No," Caroline said her gaze steady, "You're lonely too. I can see that in your eyes."

"That is enough for tonight," Klaus said putting his sketch pad down and getting up, "I have to go get a bite to eat."

"Do you have to kill every person you...eat from?" Caroline asked.

"No," Klaus replied and Caroline got up and walked close to him. She moved her hair out of the way exposing her neck. "What are you doing?"

"The least I can do for letting me stay with you," Caroline answered, "Go on, have at it."

"You are mad, Caroline," Klaus said with a chuckle.

"I am offering my blood to a vampire," Caroline said, "I know I am mad." She leaned her head back farther. "I also know you won't kill me."

"I should," Klaus said, "You know too much, I should kill you right now."

"I think that you have never had someone offer themselves to you like this," Caroline said, "Blindly, trustingly, go on, I dare you."

"You are playing with fire Caroline," Klaus warned her.

"No, I am playing with a vampire," Caroline said not backing down. He pushed her? She was going to push right back.

Klaus stared at the pretty white flesh being offered to him. She was right, no women had ever done this before. Sometimes they did after sex, their lust taking over their actions. Not like this. It had never been like this. His eyes went red and Klaus felt his fangs coming out. He couldn't resist anymore and pulled her to him then bit into her perfect neck. Caroline's hand gripped his arm as he drank from her. Klaus had drank a lot of blood in his life, fed from thousands of people, but no blood had ever tasted as sweet as Caroline's. Sweet Caroline.

K&C

"You are insane," Klaus said to Caroline who was looking at her neck in the mirror. "A normal person would be running and screaming."

"I am not a normal person," Caroline informed him. "I am tired though. Goodnight." Caroline walked over and gave him a kiss on the cheek before going to her room.

"That woman is bloody mad," Klaus said to himself as he to retired to his room.

"I heard that!" Caroline called out and Klaus laughed. For a human she had really good hearing.

K&C

One might think that after being alive for more then 600 years Klaus would know a lot about women, but the truth is he did not. He only cared about breaking the curse and women weren't high on his list of important things to worry about. He just turned on the charm or compelled women when he wanting someone to warm his bed and Tatia had been almost an obsession. He wanted to beat his brother and win her affections. Look how that had turned out. Klaus would never admit that at times women made him almost nervous...especially bold women.

"Aren't you tired of drawing my face?" Caroline asked.

"Never, not when it is such a beautiful face," Klaus replied and Caroline rolled her eyes. She bit her lip.

"Why don't you try drawing something else?" Caroline got up of the chair and looking into his eyes removed her dress. Klaus's eyes widened slightly. "This better?" Caroline sat back down and her pale skin almost seemed to glow in the firelight, but her eyes became dark. Trying hard not to show how much she affected him Klaus began to draw again. His eyes scanned her body as he drew every curve. Her voice broke him out of his daze.

"Let me see," She said getting up and walking over to him unashamed of her nakedness. Klaus showed her the drawing and she smiled. "You're amazing." Their faces were very close together and Klaus moving first closed the gap and kissed her. Caroline kissed back instantly. She took the paper off his lap and threw it to the ground. Klaus chuckled against her lips. They broke apart and Caroline helped him take off his shirt and then his trousers. She expected his skin to be cold but to her surprise it was warm.

"Scared yet?" Klaus asked sensing her hesitation.

"A little," Caroline admitted, "You?" Klaus didn't say anything and just kissed her again. She tightened her arms around his neck and using his vampire speed he ran to his room. Caroline laughed when she suddenly found herself being tossed on the bed. "This better be good, you do have 600 years of experience."

"Oh, love, the only thing you will be able to remember is my name when I am done with you," Klaus vowed and climbed on top of her.

"Think it might be the other way around," Caroline said with a smirk. She was always going to challenge him this one, and for once Klaus didn't mind at all.

K&C

Pillow talk was dangerous. Somehow Klaus found himself spilling everything to her. The curse, his family, what he really was. It all came out as if he was dying to confide in somebody. Caroline didn't say a word just listened quietly. When he was done he looked at her face knowing he would find pity or perhaps finally, fear. Her face was blank.

"You know kings and lords often told secrets to their mistresses," Klaus said when Caroline still didn't respond, "Then they would sell him out to his enemies."

"Would they now?" Caroline said with a yawn and then rested her head on his chest.

"So you have nothing to say?" Klaus asked.

"Thank you for telling me," Caroline replied and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, "Now let's get some sleep. With a life like yours you must be tired."

K&C

Klaus knew for sure he could trust her after she killed her first vampire. They were walking home from the theater when Klaus was jumped by two vampires and a third one was waiting around the corner. He pushed Caroline out of the way and attacked the first one not know there was someone coming up behind him. Caroline snuck up on said person taking the dagger out from underneath her dress. She stabbed him in the back and then slit his throat. It didn't kill him but it brought him down. Caroline grabbed the man's sword and cut his head off with it. Klaus who had finished off the other two could only stare at the young mortal girl who had taken down a vampire twice her size. No one should ever underestimate her. Caroline then starting laughing.

"I did it!" Caroline said with a bright smile, "Did you see me?"

"I saw you," Klaus said. As if she couldn't surprise him more, here she was excited that she had killed a vampire. "But don't do that again, you could have gotten yourself killed."

"How could I?" Caroline said walking back over to him, "I am with you, I know you won't let anything happen to me."

"I won't," Klaus said, "You are the only good thing in the world."

Mystic Falls, 2012

"Glad you gave into me?" Klaus asked.

"Never regretted for a second," Caroline answered, "I would take nothing back. I never regretted going home with you. Not many people can say they have an epic love story like ours. One that lasts for centuries."

"What about when you leave again?" Klaus asked.

"I never really leave, my love," Caroline replied, "I am here." Caroline put her hand on Klaus's heart. "Always here. Many people say you are heartless but that is not true. You have mine."
