Klaus once said he was going to ruin me, in a way he did, just not in the way he had intended.

Of course you'd have to become immortal, idiot. In all honesty I hadn't forgotten about the minor detail when I went to find Klaus. I just assumed I'd have more time. But how long would I put it off for? I'd take my time trying to savour every last moment of what it meant to be human. However, I knew the more time I'd take, the more I'd realise what I'd be giving up. The reluctance to leave this life and the desperate need I felt to cling to the world I know now was overpowering.

But you wouldn't be leaving this world. It will be exactly the same, you'll just be seeing it from a different perspective.

I thought about what eternity meant to me. No kids of my own, no normal growing old, but plenty of watching my mortal family and friends die. I feel a tear role down my cheek as I sit on the edge of my bed in my and Bonnie's dorm room. I'd have to watch Bonnie and my mum leave me. I'd be missing them forever. But I'd get to be with Klaus. Apparently that was all I needed to know. I really wanted to be with him.

I pick up the phone and call him. He answers after the first ring. "Caroline." His voice makes me warm.

"Klaus." I say sternly.

"Here, my love." I scream and jump forward at the sudden voice at my ear. I snap my phone shut and glare at Klaus as he lies back on my bed and smiles deviously at me.

"Ever hear of knocking?" I growl.

"And miss the lovely sound of you screaming over me? Not a chance." His smile turns wolfish. I stand to the side of my bed and fold my arms as he looks up at me.

"Did you mean it?"

He cocks his head to the side. "I'm afraid you're going to have to be a bit more specific than that sweetheart."

"Would you turn me even if I didn't want it?"

His eyes went dark and the smile dropped off his lips. "I'd hassle and annoy you and do anything I can to convince you to join me but no I won't force it on you," he says and it looks like it kills him to come to terms with it.

I breathe in a sigh of relief, feeling like this really is my choice and not just a false pretence that was meant to make me feel better over the fact that I had no control over the situation.

"Well in that case, I'd love to spend eternity with you Klaus." His eyes snap to mine in a flash and a massive childish grin consumes his face. My face was one of shock and admiration. For the first time since we'd met that I had seen Klaus truly happy. It was the joy of a child and I wanted to remember this moment forever.

"But," I say loudly, "I want some time. I'm not talking years or months but weeks. Okay." I look down on him with all the authority I could gather. His grin didn't even falter.

"Of course," he whisper and then once again, in a heartbeat, Klaus sits up, grabbing me and pulling me onto his lap. He looks into his eyes for a moment longer before kissing me with such a passion I thought no living thing on the planet could have. I weave my hands through his hair and I thought occurred to me. I could do this forever.

A few weeks later:

I wake up with a gasp, clutching my neck where it had been snapped. Klaus is there instantly cradling me in his arms. "You're okay Caroline. I've got you," he murmurs softly in my ear. I try to focus but my newly enhanced senses leave me feeling disorientated. He lifts a cup to my lips and I gulp down the blood. I had been nervous about the fact that I'd be drinking blood but love seems to make you do crazy things. I lie there in Klaus' arms as I adjust to the world. I'm a vampire now. It was daunting to think of everything this meant but I have eternity to figure it all out.

I wriggle in his arms until I'm facing him. My hand instantly goes to his face and I kiss him gently. He pulls me closer and nestles into me, the curves of our body fitting perfectly.

"I love you," I finally say. Klaus' eyes warm.

"I know," he says back. "I've loved you since the day you opened your mouth and gave me a piece of your mind." I smile at the memory.

Klaus gently brushed a stray piece of hair behind my ear. "I'm going to show you the world," he whispers and his eyes light up as though he's already thinking of all the places he would take me. I sigh in bliss at the thoughts of all the wonders in the world that I would get to discover.

"Well we can take our time, after all, we do have forever," I whisper back. Klaus smiles his wolfish grin, the same one he gave me when we had first met, the same one he's had ever since. It was full of promise and mischief of a life yet to come. I sighed in bliss as I kissed him till the sun rose.

Forever.

A/N:

I believe this may be the end of the rode. I might do an epilogue but frankly I think it would be better without one, I mean what are imaginations for right? I know it's short and i hope you guys aren't dissapointed with it. I think it's a bit anticlimatic but who wants to drag things out forever. I for one always have something about the end of the story that i wanted differently so i totally understand if you're not happy with it, but i guess everyone has a different idea of a happy ending. Thank you all so much for supporting me and reading my story even though my updates would sometimes take ages. You guys have no idea how much it means to me. I'm no writer without you so once again thanks

With all the love in my heart,
