Chapter Twelve
Klaus sighed sitting down next to Caroline's sleeping body. His hand stroked her hair slowly as he thought over what he was going to do now. She would have to forgive him eventually, but right now he couldn't worry about her forgiveness. It hurt him too much to think of the anger in her eyes last he'd seen them. So he wouldn't. He wouldn't think of them and he wouldn't look at them. Eventually she would have to forgive him right?
One day he would bring her back and she would learn to love him, the way she was supposed to. They would be the way they were supposed to be. He looked down at the girl beside him, barely aware of the tears that came rolling down his cheek at the thought of not being with her the way they were meant to be. The thought of not seeing her smile for god knows how long, but he had to do this. She was going to get herself killed if he didn't keep her with him. And this was one way. This would work. He had to do this to keep her safe. This was for her, he kept repeating that in his head, but he knew who it was for. It was for him, so she couldn't leave him. He would do what he did when his family tried to leave him.
Of course he couldn't just dagger Caroline. So inject her with vervain, not give her any blood, and in no time at all she would petrify until he fed her blood to wake her. She was so warm and beautiful he hated to do this to her. Klaus knew how painful it would be for her to slowly starve from lack of blood, but he needed to keep her with him. So that's what he would do.

Caroline opened her eyes to see Klaus standing over her with a dejected look on his face. She watched him close his eyes and take a deep breath. She didn't realize what was happening until she looked around and relized where she was. In a half open coffin with Klaus standing over her ready to close it. Trying to get out she qucikly realized she was too weak to move. "Klaus?" She asked quietly as it was all she could manage. He tilted his head, and she could see the pain in his eyes. Caroline gave him a pleaing look. Begging with her eyes for him to not do what she realized he was going to.
Elena had told her what Katherine had said it was like to slowly petrify from blood deprivation. And Klaus was going to make her do that? The man that promised to protect her seemed to hurt her more than anyone else.
Looking back she saw him look down at her one more time, carressing her cheek before he closed the top, she heard the click of a lock and let out a small sob. Finding the only strength she had, she placed her hand on the top of the coffin, trying to open it and failing miserably. "Please?" She whispered against the smooth silky surface. "Please don't do this."
Her pleas did not go unheard, on the outside of the coffin Klaus fell to the ground. The look in her eyes right then would haunt him forever and he knew it. He could not let her leave though. What would he do without her? At least this way he knew she would always be there. Waiting for him.
When he heard her quiet whimper he closed his eyes, squeezing the bridge of his nose as he tried to remove the sound from his mind. He knew how her voice, her eyes, her lips, would haunt him. Honestly it broke his heart.

Caroline's eyes drifted closed as she tried to ignore the searing pain in every fiber of her body as it craved blood. Her mind went to the place it usually did when she needed to be in a happy place. Of course her happy place seemed more tragic now in her current situation, but even if it was a lie, it gave her hope. Maybe he would realize how much he was hurting her. Realize what he had done and stop, though she highly doubted it she let her mind go to one of the many times Klaus had convinced her of how much he loved her.
Caroline laid down on the ground awaiting Klaus' arrival to her dream. Honestly she just wanted to sleep, her day had not gone well, she was tortured by werewolves, just because she was a vampire.
It hurt just to think about it. Making her flinch a little. Suddenly Klaus was there. "What's wrong love?" He asked sitting next to her and pulling her up onto his lap, so her head was laying on his chest.
She shook her head. "I don't wanna do this. I'm so tired Klaus, I just want to sleep. Please!" He frowned stroking her hair slowly.
"Then sleep." He told her kissing the top of her head. "I'll be here if you want to talk." He said softly. Sometimes he could be so sweet well others so evil, why was that.
Her sobs broke the silence of the room, his arms tightened around her. As if to prove to her she was safe. Of course honestly this was one of the only times she wished he was actually there to hold her, to keep her safe. No one else could keep her safe like she knew he could. "They kept hurting me." His soothhing shushing stopped as a growl escaped his lips.
"Who?" He asked firmly. She replied with just a shake of her head.
"Please, just-" She was cut off by another shushing coming from Klaus as he stroked her back.
"It's alright, I understand, I'll keep you safe Caroline, when I find you I swear no one will ever hurt you again."
She looked up at him, her eyes saying what she couldn't. 'How will you keep me safe from you?'
A question Caroline now remembered he never answered. Now she could see why, as another whimper escaped her lips, as the pain overwhelmed every one of her senses, demanding blood. Yet she got nothing. She could feel her body giving up, and it hurt. So much. What exactly was his plan? Did he think she would forgive him for this, would she forgive him for this?
