Growing Pains

"Gladly, maybe then I'll take you up on your offer of hot hybrid sex." Klaus smirked; his smug expression didn't suit Tyler's features. He turned and Caroline watched him walk away with shock etched on her face.

She closed her mouth and blinked, "wait!" She called out; Klaus stopped but didn't turn to her. Caroline flashed in front of him and stared at him, "why did you save me?"

He chuckled, "I heard you were in a bit of situation."

Caroline narrowed her eyes, "No. Why did you save me, instead of Rebekah?"

Klaus' pursed his lips and breathed deeply; once again Caroline was struck by how different he looked and seemed than Tyler. Klaus was quiet for a long time, as if trying to find the right words to say. "She can handle herself, they can't kill her." He answered coolly, "Now to find the witch, I want my body back." He growled and walked past Caroline.

Caroline watched him walk away once again.

That was the second time in a week he had saved her.

She couldn't help but think how that was strangely… selfless.
