Because you guys (or maybe you're just figments of my imagination as I cannot believe anyone reads my crap) had to wait so long you get another mini chapter today as my penance. ;) And it's my Easter today as well so...

Klaus was sipping one glass of champagne after another. Good thing vampires didn't get liver cirrhosis. His mother got that bit right at least.
A stewardess walked by him, ''can I help you?'' she said slightly flirtatiously. It made him sick really, the sight of humans prancing about in their stupid pointless little lives.
''Yes, if you could hold out your arm so I could drink your blood.'' He said with a smile. She tensed as she saw his smile then nervously laughed, thinking he was joking. He grabbed her covering her mouth so he muffled her screams. Once he took enough to satisfy his thirst, he compelled her to go away. He couldn't even take pleasure in that anymore. Had she left him with anything?
Thankfully the flight was ending. He found it incredible how humans had developed so much. Although, he admitted, it was a select few. Most remained moronic and idiotic.

...

Caroline screaming through days and nights kept both Rebekah and Matt from sleeping. They fed her regularly but it didn't appease her. She continued to sweat and convulse violently. Just as Rebekah wondered how long this could continue for Klaus came in. She noticed his slightly damp hair, dirty shoes and worn out shirt. He must have used his vampire speed to come from wherever he came from.
"Finally," she said. "We've been calling you for days."
"Yeah, turns out mobile phones aren't waterproof. Who knew?" He said in a cold sarcastic voice.

He sped over to Caroline's side. His eyes looked harsh as he took in her picture. Her broken cries and screams seemed to awake him and he forced his blood down her throat. Realising that she was still chained up he untied her. Still weak, he grasped her gently, on his knees with her as he whispered into her ear. As his blood started to take effect he left her, suddenly aware that he was the last person she wanted to see. If he even was a person. Matt took over the comforting duties. His speciality.

Klaus stood in his room, standing still while he processed. He didn't realise how... affected he'd be seeing her like that. This was bad. He'd criticised Finn for being a love sick fool and look at him. He ran halfway across the planet, only stopping to feed on anything in his path, just to save this little blonde vampire. In all his thousand years of living he didn't even think he was capable of love anymore, outside of his family at least.

He was so lost in his thoughts that as Caroline walked into his room, he looked up in surprise. ''What are you doing here?''
''Well, I wanted to thank you. You left but you came back to heal me. You didn't have to come back but you did.''
Of course he had to, he thought. ''Yeah well London was boring,'' he said, trying to sound indifferent.
''Right,'' she said, unconvinced. ''So where are going to go next then?''
''Paris, there's an art exhibition going on next week at the Louvre. There may or may not be some of my work up there.'' He said with a smile.
Of course there was. She sighed, slightly jealous that he could escape. She found it stifling to deal with Mystic Falls. Tyler's broodiness was irritating her to no end. She was angry at him for losing his composure. He had almost killed her. Again. She found his pointless snivelling got on her nerves. It happened. Deal with it and move on. He wasn't safe to be around obviously. She suddenly started to find his conservation boring.
Urgh, and Elena's obvious pity annoyed her. Elena asked if she was alright in every move she made. Everyone showed her pity. Plus Bonnie was mad that she'd killed a man.
She was sick of it. Klaus didn't show pity though. She was glad of it. After all, she wasn't girly little Caroline anymore. She could take care of herself.
''You're lucky that you can escape.''
He raised an eyebrow, ''so could you. You're a vampire. What's stopping you?''
She thought it through, ''I'm scared I suppose.''
He smiled, of all the things to be scared of. You were never scared of me yet you're afraid to leave this little town.''
She was shocked that he thought that she was never scared of him. She supposed it looked that way to him, the way she stood up to him. She must be a better actress than she thought.
''I don't suppose you have room for another run away?'' He looked in shock. ''That is, unless you don't ...fancy me anymore.''
He smiled at her remembering his words, "definitely not.'' He replied.
Good, Caroline told herself. This was good.

Me going with you. It doesn't mean anything though. You're just...'' she paused, looking for the right words, ''convenient. I need to take a beat from Mystic Falls. And you're an escape route. That's all.'' She emphasised defiantly. This would cause all sorts of shit back in Mystic Falls.
He smiled timidly. "Understood," he said. He knew she wasn't going because of him but he was grateful that for the time being, he wouldn't have to be alone.
