First of all, I'm sorry for my long-time absence but I had a lot of things to do and also I've been traveling a little bit as always, so basically I didn't have much time to write.
Second of all, I've published the chapter 11 yesterday (and that's why you got your e-mails) but it was really bad - not just because of the one bad review but because I didn't feel any magic in it, you know - I wasn't satisfied with the chapter. This "new" chapter is improved and in the beginning it is slightly the same but with some major twists (only those who've read yesterday's chapter will know what I mean). It is also longer and it is magical, in my opinion. I hope you will like it, I really do because I really enjoyed writing it. And the music I've listened while writing it is a pure magic (you'll see).
Third, the main point of all this "bad-chapter-thing" made me realize that it is not good to write because you feel obligated to it, but we should write because our hearts want to write.
In the end, I really hope you like it and that you'll enjoy in the last day of Berlin for our heroes.
P.S. I don't own anything except the idea.
"This is the most epic party experience I have ever had" – Bonnie happily said as she sat in the Café Einstein Stammhaus, one of the most famous coffee houses/restaurants in Berlin, in the middle of the Tiergarten, "I mean look at the clock" – she continued, "it is eleven in the morning and I'm still not tired."
"You see, that is what I'm constantly talking about; that is the thing with Berlin, Bon-Bon" – Damon said as he happily took a sip of his black coffee with no sugar and glanced at the others who also wore a smile on their faces, "you can go out at nine pm and come home at four in the morning but you can also go out at four in the morning and come home at noon or even later. This city never stops partying, people" – he said and took another sip of his coffee, "and that is why people from all around the world love Berlin; it is always alive, and most importantly, it makes you feel alive."
Caroline sat on her chair and listened how her friends talked about the magnificent Berlin and she couldn't believe that this city also swept her off her feet, and so easily. Back in the States, when planning this trip, she knew she would fell in love with London and Paris immediately but with Berlin? No, she wasn't quite sure about Berlin but somehow this city will always be special to her; not just because of the whole Berlin vibe but also because of the beautiful moments that have happened here. She spent her days wandering through the streets of Berlin eating all the Turkish specialties, as Berlin was full of Turkish people, and discovering all the exhibits that many museums of Berlin offered at the time. She had so much fun with her friends and she truly enjoyed Berlin. She also enjoyed being in a company of young Dean Winchester because he was one of those men who were just too good to true because they were so kind, respectful and in the end, honest; Dean didn't do tricks like… well, he didn't do tricks like Klaus. Yes, Berlin will not stay in Caroline's memory forever just because of her days spent sightseeing with her friends and Dean, but also because of the kiss with Klaus. A kiss that should have been a long time forgotten but one part of Caroline was still thinking about it… to the hell, who is she lying to? Although both Klaus and Caroline pretended that the kiss never happened, she still dreamt about it sometimes and because of that she couldn't be more thankful to have her friends and Dean by her side. She didn't consider Dean as a potential new boyfriend but to her he was an exceptional friend with whom she had spent an amazing night but that was it. Unfortunately for Dean and for herself too, her feelings for Klaus might have been already too strong.
"I think" – Caroline heard Kol saying at loud, "we should all order some whiskey or vodka or whatever and toast to this magnificent city and to us" – he said and everybody excitedly nodded, "and we should say: "Ich bin ein Berliner", while we toast. Got it?" – he said as he called the waiter to order their drinks. Caroline looked at the people around her – Dean, Bonnie, Damon, Kol, Brooke, Sam, Haley, Lucas, Peyton and Nathan – they were all laughing and they looked so happy because the past night was truly amazing. They went out at four in the morning and they had so much fun at some random basement-turned-club, in the middle of Berlin, that was full of people from all around the world dancing hysterically to the most amazing electronic music Caroline has ever heard. Who was she kidding? She never heard any electronic music at all before, but now, after this night, she could see herself going to many parties like that in her future. She felt so free dancing wildly with Bonnie and the others as the music blasted and all of them had as many glow sticks as they could find… but she missed Elena and Stefan who spent the night with Klaus and Elle on some fancy dinner and later they probably went dancing in one of Berlin's hotels to the jazz music. Apparently, Klaus was a huge fan of jazz as he was a fan of the prohibition time also. That Klaus, always intriguing and always so damn charming, had a lot of secrets and so many faces – she couldn't help but to think that he was becoming slightly different when it came to Elle. A few days ago, when they were in a Max Liebermann Villa, a beautiful house, owned by one of the most famous German impressionists, located on the shore of Lake Wannsee, he completely ignored Elle as she was talking loudly about the fact how bored is she here… he ignored her so much that in one point, he snapped at her because of his behavior. Truth to be told, Elle was acting so rude that day pretty much towards everyone so her criticism towards the Max Liebermann and his work wasn't such a big surprise to anyone but to see Klaus so mad at Elle has been a surprise because he pretty much tolerated everything when it came to her.
"Caroline, raise your glass, will you?" – Kol asked as everybody laughed at her and she just shrugged with a smile as she raise her glass. "Now, as everybody at last have their hands and drinks up, let's make a great toast to Berlin, to the city that connected us and gave us memories that we won't be able to forget and memories that we most certainly won't be able to tell to our grandchildren – to Berlin and to us; "Ich bin ein Berliner!" – Kol said and drank his drink as everybody else followed his example.
"Bonnie, what are you going to do with Kol after we leave Berlin?" – Caroline asked Bonnie as she sat on her bed and watched some German TV-show that currently aired some talk show with Hugh Jackman as main guest. Bonnie, ever since they met Kol in Berlin, was hooking up with him and even though she totally denied that she liked him as something more than as just a good hook-up friend, it was pretty obvious to the both Elena and Caroline that their friend was falling hard for the youngest Mikaelson brother. But who could blame her? Kol was the perfect bad boy – he was charming, smart, wicked and as handsome as a perfect European golden boy could be – he could have any girl he wanted, just as his older brother Klaus, and Kol knew that and that made him the perfect bad boy.
"What did you say?" – Bonnie asked as she was straightening her hair in the bathroom.
"What is going to be with Kol and you after we leave Berlin? And to remind you, we are going to Rome tomorrow" – Caroline said. The thing was that Kol was going with his friends to Paris and even though Klaus invited his younger brother to Rome, Kol rejected it meaning that this little thing between Bonnie and Kol is probably over.
"What will you do with Dean?" – Bonnie asked and Caroline smirked as she stood up from her bed and went towards the bathroom. She leaned on the door and looked at Bonnie.
"I've asked you first, Bonnie" – Caroline said.
"Care, what should I do? We had a great time and that's it… nobody is hurt or anything like that because it's over. This is not some epic love story; just a girl and just a boy who simply love to kiss each other. Sure I like him but I prepared myself that this just a Berlin thing" – Bonnie simply said and turned around to face Caroline. "And Dean? What will you do about Dean because obviously that was something more" – she said, and Caroline rolled her eyes not believing a word Bonnie said about Kol, but decided to ignore that and to rather answer Bonnie's question.
"Well, he is also going to Paris with Kol so that is over but as much as I wanted to like him like really bad, it didn't happen. I do care about him but I see him just as a good friend. Unfortunately, nothing more" – Caroline said knowing that the words were true. She liked Dean and when she was with him she didn't think about Klaus so much but in the end, all she could think was Klaus.
"You don't have any feelings for Klaus anymore, sweetie?" – Bonnie asked and Caroline shrugged.
"What do you think? I have this perfect guy next to me wanting to be more than just friends and I, except that one night, pretty much ignore all the romantic possibilities with him because of the guy who kissed me once and who is pretty smitten with his beautiful girlfriend. I would like to be able not to feel anything for Klaus but I can't help myself. It is stronger than me" – Caroline answers truthfully.
"So Dean is not the cure for Klaus-illness in the end" – Bonnie said and Caroline smiled.
"Yeah, I guess he is not but he is a damn hot want-to-be-cure, that's for sure" – she said and Bonnie laughed.
"True that. But Care, we are going to Italy tomorrow and you know that Italian guys are like the most handsome guys in the world. You know, all that temperament and craziness and loud talking and fine cuisine… I mean, Casanova was Italian so you know what that means."
"That I'll meet some gorgeous Italian for one night stand?" – Caroline asked jokingly and Bonnie nodded.
"Exactly, Care, and if you are really lucky, maybe you will meet a gorgeous Romeo who will show you the city of Rome while driving you on his vespa through the city" – Bonnie winks at her.
"From Casanova, the mighty lover, you go to Romeo, a guy who died because of a tragic love? Great, Bonnie, you want me to die now" – Caroline seriously said.
"That's now what I meant, Care. I simply want you to meet a perfect guy that…" – Bonnie started seriously but as soon as she saw Caroline smiling she smiled too. "Oh, shut it, Care!" – she said and both girls started laughing.
"But Bonnie" – Caroline said after a couple of minutes, "I think that meeting someone new will not help me to Klaus. If Dean didn't help how could anyone else? And besides, I'm stuck with Klaus for the rest of our trip. Basically, I'm cursed to watch Elle and Klaus being all fluffy and romantic."
Bonnie looked at her best friend who sat by her side on the cold floor of the bathroom and sighed.
"Well maybe then you will have to toss a really great number of coins in the Fountain di Trevi and make a wish to forget Klaus" – Bonnie said and hugged Caroline who leaned her head on Bonnie's shoulder. "But seriously, who knows what will happen to Elle and Klaus. Maybe they aren't as strong as they think they are."
"What do you mean?" – Caroline asked trying to sound calmly as she was struggling hard not to squeak.
"Well, you saw how he behaved at that Villa the other day, and yesterday, when you went out with Elena to grab some magazines, they barely spoke at the breakfast, and that was so weird" – Bonnie whispered and Caroline smiled.
"Why are you whispering?" – she asked as Bonnie shrugged and laughed, "anyway, all that means nothing. They probably had a little fight and that's all. And you know that he said to her that he loves her so I doubt that they have troubles in paradise."
"Care, he told her that he loves her after he kissed you. It was a totally guilt washing statement" – Bonnie yelled and Caroline laughed.
"Shhh, Bonnie" – Caroline said as she was laughing slightly to her best friend, "somebody could hear us."
"Like who? You think that Elle has spies in this room? Like this room is bugged or something?" – Bonnie asked while rolling her eyes. Caroline laughed at her friend knowing that she had been right.
"I love you, Bonnie Bennett" – Caroline said and Bonnie laughed.
"I love you too, Caroline Forbes" – she said and smiled. "But I think it is time to get up and start to prepare ourselves for our last dinner in Berlin."
"You are right. Where are we going to, remind me please?" – Caroline asked Bonnie who took her phone to read again a name of restaurant.
"To the Reinstoff restaurant and it is in some old factory but apparently it is amazing according to Kol. And besides, you know Klaus, he wouldn't take us just to any place so it has to be really good" – Bonnie said and Caroline nodded.
"That is true – he showed us so many beautiful places and I'm still intrigued about what he will show us in Rome and in other cities and countries."
"Only the most spectacular places, Care. By the way, I'm really curious how the two of you will be towards each other after Elle goes. Personally, I'm cheering for another kiss" – Bonnie said and Caroline blushed.
"Bonnie! Shut it!" – Caroline said angrily and Bonnie laughed.
"Calm down, Care, I'm just goofing around. Anyway, what will you wear tonight?"
The Reinstoff restaurant, located in the north part of the city centre in a red-brick Prussian-era factory, was a highly awarded and well known world restaurant that was the main stage for saying farewell and goodbye to one of the most amazing cities in the world, Berlin. Tonight the actors on its stage will be Caroline, Klaus, Stefan, Elena, Bonnie, Damon, Elle, Kol, Dean, Peyton, Nathan, Lucas, Sam, Brooke and Haley… and as always, the battle between the main actors will be held between the two Mikaelson brothers, both equally intriguing and charming. The restaurant, that was full every night, was completely empty tonight because Klaus, as amazing as always, reserved the whole restaurant just for them so they could be alone and enjoy their last night in Berlin properly. Every single one of them had to dress up, so every girl wore an evening dress and every guy wore a black tuxedo. Caroline wore a simple long red dress by Donna Karan that was closed from the front but her back was almost all showing. She loved it and as soon as she saw it one of the stores in Berlin, she knew she had to buy it.
"Klaus, this is amazing and so great… no, I'm completely speechless" – said Brooke as she stood in amazement in the middle of the empty restaurant with the single table waiting just for them.
"She is right, brother" – said Kol as he sat on his place at the table and already started sipping red wine into his glass, "this is quite nice."
Klaus, who simply stood in the corner of the big dinning room looking like the damn James Bond, just smiled and nodded not saying a single word. This whole night, ever since they met up in the foyer of the Adlon-Kempinski hotel, he was silent pretty much all the time except when someone asked him something. Caroline didn't think that was weird because she got used to his mood swings by now but Elle was a different story. She was so mad at Klaus because of his silent treatment that she was complaining to everyone about it until Damon said to her that she is boring as hell and that if she doesn't know Klaus by now, she will probably never know him at all. Yes, that wasn't weird at all.
"We don't deserve this, Klaus. This is just too much" – Elena said and both Bonnie and Caroline nodded.
"True, we don't deserve it but don't worry my friend, we will damn sure enjoy it" – said Damon as he sat next to Kol and sipped himself also some wine. Everybody laughed at Damon's words as they sat around the table leaving the central place at the table for their host Klaus.
They ate their dinner in the most perfect surroundings – in a big and beautiful room reserved just for them and with the light music playing in the background that was completely ignored because of their talk and laugh. The food was completely amazing, which was not a surprise considering the fact that the restaurant owns one Michelin star, and the French wine that they've been drinking whole night had a divine taste.
"Too bad we are going different ways tomorrow" – said Brooke as she took a sip of her wine. "These few days were simply amazing and I'm so glad that I've met such a great people here. I can't describe you have glad I am."
"Believe me, I think we all feel the same, Brooke" – Elena said as she looked at the people around her. "This place truly made us some new, unforgettable memories. I think we will all cherish them our whole life" – Elena said and Damon clapped.
"I told you so, Berlin is a magic city" – he said and everybody nodded.
"It truly is, Damon" – Peyton said as she kissed Sam.
"You know what? I think that everyone should say why will they never forget Berlin" – Stefan said and got a huge applause from everyone. "I'll even go first" – he continued but was stopped by another great applause from his friends to which he simple smiled.
"I'll never forget Berlin because of all the smiley mornings I had with Elena here. I'll never forget it because of all the new friendships made here and most certainly, I'll never forget Berlin because of all the people I've been here with. We had some pretty good time here, guys."
"To me" – Elena started as they've decided going in a clockwise way, "Berlin means love and friendship and that is something that I cherish the most so thank you Berlin for being my friend" – she said and everybody smiled and nodded in approval.
"Well, to me, Berlin brought a long needed smile on my face and that is why I'll never forget it" – said Bonnie and smiled at Kol who was next.
"Well, Berlin is my old friend and I've been here many times but I think this time I've enjoyed it the most" – Kol simply said and smiled before he took a sip of his drink and sat right back at his place.
"I think I had the most fun here with the most amazing people in the world so that is what I'm thankful for and because of that Berlin will always have a special place in my heart" – Brooke simply said with a huge grin on her face.
"Well, what should I say about the city who got me as soon as I stood in it? I love it. I completely fell in love with Berlin and with the people I've spent time here. And it made me fall in love with my girlfriend even more if that's even possible" – Lucas said and kissed Brooke as everyone clapped.
"I will never forget Berlin because it made me happier and relaxed and that is something I truly needed. So thank you Berlin, and thank you guys for being such amazing people" – Haley said.
"Well, yeah, what should I say about Berlin? I will never forget it because of all the fun, all the friends, all the clubs, all the girls, and basically all the amazing moments I had here" – Nathan said and drank his whole drink at once. Obviously, everyone clapped at his action.
"David Bowie once said that Berlin is the greatest cultural extravaganza that one could imagine, and I couldn't agree more with him. Thank you, Berlin" – Peyton simply said.
"To me Berlin is a city that brought me closer to my love, to my family and to my friends – it is also a city that made me make some new bridges of friendship" – Sam said and hugged both Peyton and Dean.
"I am not a man of many words but I will never forget Berlin because of every person that sits around this table and especially this wonderful lady that is sitting next to me. I'll always be thankful to Berlin because it brought Caroline into my life as it also made me love my friends even more" – he said and looked at Caroline who smiled with a huge blush on her face.
"Well, to me Berlin represents a huge amount of love towards everything. I had so much fun here and so much beautiful moments that it would be silly to think that I will forget any of them. No, Berlin has a special place in my heart just as every person around this table has" – Caroline said as she took quickly a sip of her drink. Everybody clapped to her and she blushed once again but she caught Klaus's eyes on her and he smiled at her for the first time after so many days. She could feel her heart jump so she quickly turned her head away from his gaze.
"You know me, I'm a Berliner" – Damon simply said and everybody laughed at him.
"Berlin is the city that made me so happy, so utterly and unbelievably happy and it brought me love in its most beautiful way. I will never ever forget it as neither I will forget the many friendship I've made here. Thank you, Berlin – Elle said and kissed Klaus lightly on the cheek to which he simply nodded before he stood up being the last one to make a speech.
"There are not so many places in the world that are still unknown to me but I doubt that there is as many places as important to me as Berlin is. Berlin is a city that I have a special bond with for many, many lovely years, but this year was somehow different than the other years I have to admit. I've got a chance to show it to the group of amazing people who, I am sure of it, will stay in my life as long as I can breathe" – he said and took a sip of his drink, "it brought me many unexpected moments that were unforgettable and probably the most beautiful in my life so far" – he said looking at Caroline for a moment, "and it thought me that sometimes being under control and doing what is considered to be the right thing, is not necessarily always a good thing" – he continued speaking never taking his eyes of Caroline, "it thought me that sometimes life itself knows what is good for us. So, thank you my friend for once again being an amazing friend in need, Berlin" – Klaus said, moving his gaze away from Caroline, and raise his glass once again as everyone stood up.
"To the Berlin and to us – may our future memories be as half as good as were those made in Berlin" – he said and everybody drank with a smile. "And now, my friends, let me show you something that Berlin offers only to special people."
"Caroline, can we talk for a moment?" – Dean asked Caroline, as she stood in the restaurant ready to go to that special place Klaus told them a couple of minutes ago. "I just wanted to say to you that I will never forget these couple of days and I would really like to see you again because I like you. I really like you" – he said with a smile and a huge expectancy in his eyes. Caroline, who felt somehow weird after hearing Klaus's speech even though she wasn't quite sure why, smiled at Dean. This gorgeous man seemed genuinely interested in her, and although it made her happy, she knew she shouldn't play with his heart.
"I would love to see you again, Dean, but only as friends" – she honestly said and he sadly nodded.
"Well, even though I hoped for a different answer, I accept that. Who knows; maybe in a couple of months you will change your mind" – he said. "May I kiss you, for the last time?" – he asked and she simply nodded not wanting to deny him one single kiss. He kissed her gently on her lips for just a couple of seconds, but to the one person that carefully observed them it seemed like an eternity.
After a drive that lasted for a couple of minutes, the cars stopped in front of the beautiful Charlottenburg Palace, the largest palace in the city and most definitely, one of the most beautiful places in Berlin. Many lights that were a sign of welcome to the guests beautifully illuminated the Palace and its gardens. Following the lights, the river of the people, beautifully dressed people, was slowly approaching to the entrance of the Palace.
"Klaus, what is this?" – Elle asked as she was standing next to her boyfriend. Elle asked the question that was running through their heads – what was that? What did Klaus had on his mind this time? He is a mysterious man but this was even beyond him – he surprised them all.
"This is the Charlottenburg Palace, and tonight, we will dance here as tonight is the night of the great ball of Berlin. A special ball for special people – invites only" – Klaus wickedly smile before he took Elle's hand. "Shall we?"
Inside of the Palace was a beautifully decorated ballroom, already filled with many dancers as they danced to the sounds of music composed by Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Schubert and many others. Caroline, as the others, couldn't help but to feel amazed by the scene – the scene like this was seen only in movies or even better, Disney's animated movies. And here she was, suddenly surrounded by many dancers enjoying themselves while dancing to the world's greatest music – in that moment she was sure, she was damn sure that Berlin will always have a special place in her heart.
"Mr. Mikaelson, you've come" – a middle-aged man, wearing a black tuxedo, came to Klaus as the others followed his example. "It is such a honor to have you tonight as our guest – you and your friends. Every person tonight is at your service and feel free to ask for anything. Again, is such a honor to have you here" – the man said and Klaus politely nodded.
"Thank you, Mr. Berger, the honor is all mine. I don't think you had the pleasure of meeting my younger brother Kol, have you?" – Klaus politely said as Kol came and shook his hands with Mr. Berger. "Now, Mr. Berger, excuse us, because as you can see, the lovely ladies in our company are quite fond of the dancing and it would be rude to leave them waiting so long."
"Of course, Mr. Mikaelson, but of course. My apologies" – Mr. Berger politely said as he smiled to the ladies, "the dance floor is all yours."
Caroline and Dean danced to the sound of the probably most famous waltz dance in the world, to the Blue Danube Waltz composed by the Johann Strauss II. As they swayed through the ballroom, she glanced towards her friends and their partners, and looking at them, she couldn't help but to wish to be born in the different time era. In the time of ball dancing, of the beautiful music and fashion – in a time when the men courted women romantically and respectfully; in a time when love lasted forever.
"What are you thinking about, Caroline?" – Dean asked with a smile.
"Nothing much. Look at our friends – this is wonderful" – she said and smiled at Dean who nodded. All of their friends were currently at the dance floor – Klaus & Elle, Stefan & Elena, Kol & Bonnie, Lucas & Brooke, Nathan & Haley, Sam & Peyton, and Damon who danced with the probably most gorgeous girl in the Palace; a beautiful Franziska, the daughter of Mr. Berger.
"Yes, it truly is. Caroline dear, do you want to take a little pause? I need a drink as soon as possible. All this dancing made me so thirsty" – Dean politely said and Caroline nodded not feeling tired at all as she really enjoyed dancing but you can't dance alone, can you?
"Oh, Caroline, you are also tired, aren't you? This whole dancing is quite exhausting, to be honest" – said Elle as she sat around their table drinking a glass of champagne. Next to her chair, stood Klaus talking with some men.
"Not at all, Elle. I would like to spend my whole night on the dance floor but unfortunately, Dean needs a break" – Caroline said and Elle nodded.
"Yes, Klaus could also dance the whole night away, I'm afraid" – she said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
"Well, if that is the case, I don't see why Caroline and Klaus wouldn't dance a couple of dances together while we rest here. It is unfair to the two of them to wait for us" – said Dean who came back with his glass of champagne. Elle tried to say something but Klaus, who suddenly considered their conversation quite interesting, stopped her.
"Dean, my mate, that is one amazing idea. It would be quite rude to leave Caroline wait for you here, and I would be more than happy to dance with her" – he said and smiled to Caroline. Caroline, who feared that this would might happen, nodded but before she took Klaus's hand, looked at Elle.
"Elle, is this okay with you?" – she asked Elle who simply nodded.
"As the boys said, it would be rude" – she said and took a sip of her champagne. Caroline nodded and accepted Klaus's hand as he led the way to the middle of the dance floor; they've started dancing and just like the last time in Paris, she felt like they belong to each other because together, on the dance floor, they were a perfection. They've moved with such a easiness and simplicity that they were absolutely beautiful to watch – breathtaking according to Franziska who whispered those words to Damon's ear, unknown to Caroline and Klaus.
"You look ravishing in this dress, love" – Klaus whispered to Caroline's ear and she could feel herself blushing for hearing those small yet so big words coming out of his mouth.
"Thank you, Klaus" – she said and he smiled, "you don't look so bad either" – she said and he laughed at her words.
"Always a little lioness" – he said with a smirk and she decided to change a topic because she could feel all the hotness coming to her head.
"This ball is a wonderful idea" – she said and he nodded while he spun her around.
"I'm glad you like it. It was something I had on my mind for a long time now and to see all of you truly enjoying here, is wonderful" – he simply said. "But this is nothing compared to balls held in Vienna. Now that is an amazing experience."
"What is this music? It sounds so familiar and yet I can't place it in my mind" – Caroline said quickly before they went talking about Vienna because as she remembered, he promised her in London that he would take her to Schonbrunn Castle, and she shouldn't be thinking about his promises made to her at the time when she considered him a single man.
"A Swan Lake Waltz by Tchaikovsky, love. One of the most amazing pieces of music ever written" – he said and she smiled.
"Always Mr. Knows-It-All, aren't you?" – she said and he laughed once again.
"I try my best, Caroline, I try my best. But as we speak now, I still don't know what are your plans with Dean" – he smirked.
"That is something that shouldn't concern you, don't you think?" – she said and he smiled.
"My dear, you may have a point here but as we both know" – he said and got closer to her face, "after that kiss everything is my concern when it comes to you" – he whispered seriously into Caroline's ear that shocked her so much that she almost stopped dancing but fortunately for her, Klaus caught her and they continued their dance as the song changed to the famous song from the movie Dr. Zhivago, Lara's song.
"That kiss that was a mistake as you clearly said" – said Claroline quickly still not feeling quite well her legs from the shock.
"It was a mistake, love, but it was a good mistake" – he said with a smile and she looked at him in his eyes not quite believing his words.
"What is this song?" – she asked nervously trying to change the subject. All this talking about the kiss made her dizzy.
"Now love, don't change the subject because I know that you also think that the kiss wasn't a mistake" – he said and she swallowed.
"You said to her that you love her" – she boldly said and felt how he lost his composure for a second.
"What?" – he asked and she felt somehow annoyed.
"You said to Elle that you love her just after we kissed" – she said and he looked beyond her shoulder. "So it is a true, you told her you love her and now you are brave enough to basically say that you have every right to know what is happening between Dean and me? God, Klaus, you can't have us both; you just can't" – she said angrily before she stormed off the dance floor and left Klaus standing in the middle all by himself. Stefan and Elena, who saw Caroline running away after she danced with Klaus, danced their way towards Klaus.
"What was that about, Klaus?" – Stefan asked angrily because he hated see Caroline hurt. If that were any other guy, he would hit him instantly. "Klaus, what happened?" – Stefan repeated his question to Klaus, who pretty much ignored him. Elena, on the other hand, was a calmer one of the beautiful couple, and she saw that the man in front of her was slowly breaking into pieces so she let go Stefan and came to Klaus.
"Klaus" – she said as she touched his shoulder, "you know what you have to do; run after her."
This is a very different chapter from yesterday's - somehow it fits perfectly in the story and yes, it needed to be like this. It needed to have a grand ball, and great music and great art - it needed to be perfect. And Klaus and Caroline are finally somehow on the same page but now she is leading the game.
Personally, I really love this chapter and I hope you like/love it too. I would like to also thank to every one of you for such amazing reviews and for your support. And as I've said before, this story will get its end, sooner or later.
Tell me what do you think and be honest, please. ;)
P.S. No, unfortunately you can not read the previous chapter 11 because I've deleted it from fan fiction and also, I rewrote it in Word into this chapter. Sorry!
