I must be hallucinating, Klaus thought to himself as he looked up. He saw Caroline standing above him, her wrist was in his mouth, her blood was pouring down his throat. She's not really here. Except she was and he was getting stronger. He sucked harder, letting his fangs enter her flesh. He heard her soft gasp, her rapid heartbeat made the blood come out faster. He got lost in the taste forgetting, if only for a moment, her limitations. He was quickly reminded when her wrist fell from his mouth and he heard a crash.
Klaus immediately flashed out of his coffin he saw Caroline unconscious on the floor. His heart clenched and he cursed himself for his idiocy the only thing that kept him sane was her slow, but still there, heartbeat. He scooped her up in his arms and flashed off to his mansion.
Caroline began to stir, inhaling as she did a strong, but comforting, scent surrounded her she snuggled more deeply into it. Sleep began to wash over her again but a shiver ran down her spine and she sprang up. She was in a large room she didn't recognize, she started flashing back to when Klaus would drug her, but she knew that's not what happened. She got up and followed the sounds of another presence in the house.
She found herself in a dinning room, where she saw a set table that reminded her of the restaurants Katherine took her to in Paris, except more intimate. The fact that she was sitting there staring at her didn't help matters much. "Sleep well, love?" Caroline blinked and realized he was talking to her "Come sit, you must be hungry." Unable to find words she sat down in the seat across from him.
She looked down at the plate chicken Parmesan, her favorite. How did he know that? They ate together in silence and it was kind of nice. Caroline thought maybe this evening wouldn't be completely disastrous. She should have known it was just the calm before the storm.
The storm or hurricane Klaroline, as it would later be dubbed, began with a simple question "what game are you playing, Caroline?" She looked up confused by his tone. "What game are you playing?" He repeated icily. "What are you talking about? I'm not playing any game." He leaned forward in his chair "See, I think you are, I think your friends cooked up some new plot to kill me, and I think they sent you in as the blonde distraction." It did sound like something they would do. "Wow. You're paranoid and delusional. What a combo!" She said sarcastically.
In an instant, her chair was yanked back a few feet and Klaus was in front of her, hands pressing down on the armrests, boxing her in. "Tell me." He whispered menacingly the veins under his becoming visible. If she was still human she would've shrank back and told him exactly what he wanted to hear, even if it was a lie, but she wasn't so she didn't.
She stood up quickly without realizing her hand was still on the armrest and it broke off. "I am not trying to kill you!" Caroline shouted "why would I do that when I risked everything to save you?!" She backed away from him.
"You've also spent the better part of five months expressing your distain for me, little wolf. Do you really expect me to believe you did this out of the kindness of your heart?" He was calmer than she was but that didn't mean he wasn't teaming with rage on the inside. She ran her hands through her hair "yes! Sometimes people do nice things without some sort of twisted scheme in mind. Not that you'd know anything about that."
"I've saved your life, twice!" He hissed at her. "Because you were the one that put it in danger twice! I'd have never been in those situations, if it wasn't for your hybrid obsession." He scoffed "Yes this is what it comes down to your refusal to be a hybrid. It's why you ran it's perfect cause for you to want me gone." "My refusal to be a hybrid has nothing to do with this!' "Then what does it have to do with? you never tell me exactly why you didn't want to turn." "That's because you tried to kill me!" "You dying was never an option!" he roared.
"Oh really? What if the way to make successful hybrids was me dying? What then?" Now, Klaus wanted to, and should've, said then I wouldn't have hybrids but the realization that she was more important shocked him into silence. Caroline scoffed "Exactly. Your blinded so by obsession you can't even see what's in front of you. You wanted hybrids as a back up family when you had a family ready to kill and die for you right here. And I've gone through this before ok? I've been the bored vampire's obsession and almost died from it and I'd rather die than go through it again. So was that good enough reason Klaus?"
She turned away from him not wanting him to see her break. He flashed in front of her "Klaus let me go." She said sternly. "No." she huffed and turned around. 'Don't turn your back on me." "I should've turned my back on ages ago." She says quietly, almost a whisper. He's not angry, he should've done the same. He grabbed her wrist and traced the fading bite mark. He looked into her eyes then suddenly he kissed her.
She was shocked but she kissed him back. He pushed her against the table. Her mind spun they were fighting now they're kissing how did that make sense? Caroline knew that normal people would've at least tried to talk about their truly complex feelings for each other but they weren't normal. And this was something they couldn't avoid. He sat her on the table kissing her passionately. He pulled back "Caroline..." He was asking permission.
She responded by kissing him harder. He flashed her up the stairs and to his room.
Caroline opened her eyes slowly she was naked pressed against Klaus' side. She didn't even remember falling asleep. That must've been after round, what? 9? She glanced at the alarm clock behind Klaus head 2:01 am. She was thirsty she gently climbed out of bed and found what was left of her clothes to go downstairs.
She grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge and drank about half of it in one gulp. She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She read the caller ID and a sense of dread washed over her.
"Gran?" she asked nervously. 'Caroline, honey." her Gran sounded as if she'd been crying. "What's wrong?" "It's your grandpa he had a heart attack."
AN: like, love hate let me know. Frist I just want to say I'm not separating then for long just a chapter so they can figure out WTF just happened. Second, I'm sorry if them hooking up seemed rushed or out of place I had to do something to counter act last night's episode. I mean I knew she would brake eventually and people have been writing fics for years but does anyone else think we're gonna be chanting "Just call Klaus. He can help." at our TV's I do. Thirdly, did anyone else notice that Damon reused the Klaorline compliments of 3x14 Or is it just me? I'll update soon. Thanks For reading.
