Once they got to the mansion Stefan and Rebecca went to her room directly. Klaus and Caroline went to his, like always.
When the Original hybrid and the blond vampire got to the room, they lay down on his bed. They barely spoke, she was just too tired and he didn't want to say anything, not after almost living her.
"This was a rough day." Caroline finally broke the silence, just because she couldn't sleep without talking to him.
"Yes, I know. Look love, I didn't mean to-" He was starting to say something, but Caroline stopped him.
"Don't. I felt hurt at the moment, but I had time to think. But I'm still on the denial step. I'm really sorry, but I still can't believe that you were actually even thinking about leaving me. You were going to leave me. Alone, again. You know how I felt before… before you. And if you don't I'll remind you: I used to feel like I didn't belong. I used to feel like I was always second choice. But then you came along and I started to feel good, like I finally had some place that I could say that it's where I should be. I never felt like a second choice to you, even knowing about your hybrids and your personality… one thing that I haven't felt since I'm with you is being alone." Her own words made her get emotional, and she started crying. Even if she only noticed it when Klaus wiped the tears.
Klaus didn't say a word through the whole time. He was listening very carefully to what Caroline had to say. When she finished he was struggling to don't let his own tears roll through his face while he wiped hers. After a while, a few minutes maybe, he looked at her and said "I don't think I deserve you, not after all that I've done. I'm the bad guy Caroline, bad guys don't get the girl. I usually think that I'm the lucky one that made it. I say to myself: I've caught the girl of my dreams and I'm not letting her go, ever. She's mine." He stopped to take a deep breath and then he continued "But then, there's this moments where I realize that I'm not good for you. I love you, but I'm destroying you. I guess that today was one of those moments you know?"
"Klaus… maybe you're right. Maybe you're not good for me and you're destroying me. Who knows? But if this is what people feel when they are being destroyed, then I don't know why they complain so much. It feels really good. I love you too, and if you really think that you are destroying me just because you're you. Then you should know that I'm destroying you too, I can see it in your eyes, and sometimes I can even see your soul through them. I have a name of my own to what you call destroying, I call it love. We'll destroy each other until there's nothing left of us. Is that ok for you?" She was now hugging him so hard, she couldn't let him go, she couldn't lose him. She just couldn't…
"I think I can live with that." He said with a loving smile, while he kissed her gently. "I will never, ever even think about leaving you. I promise."
"Good. You're mine, and you're not going anywhere." Caroline was serious, she was getting very possessive towards him. He's hers and no one else's. Then she relaxed and putted her face in his chest. "I love you Klaus." These were her final words before she fell asleep.
Even if she was already asleep he answered "Yes. You do." He had a smug smile. He watched her sleep for a little while, thing that he loves to do. And he loves even more to get her frustrated when she couldn't find him asleep. After this he kissed Caroline's forehead and also fell asleep.
Meanwhile in Rebecca's room, the Original girl and Stefan were already in bed when Stefan asked "How are you feeling? Now that we caught him and he won't bother us anymore."
"Pretty good, relived maybe." Her voice was hoarse because she was really tired.
"Maybe?" He just asked the question because he felt like it was the normal thing to do. But her answer intrigued and confused him. Wasn't she pleased with the fact that we finally caught the hunter?
"No, I am relived. It's just…" She stopped talking, like what she was about to say would hurt her too much too say it out loud.
"What's wrong? Hey, you know that you can talk to me, I'm here to help you to get through everything that gets in our way." Stefan held her hand with both of his and kissed it.
Rebecca smiled at him and said "I know. Like I was saying… it's just that the fact that we caught him doesn't makes the memories go away, the pain that I felt, it will always be here and every time I think of it it's like I'm reliving that day all over again and that's… scary." Her smile vanished from her face during her speech. Now she had pain in her eyes, she was going to start to cry.
"Hey, you can cry if you want. It's ok. What you've been through it's really hard and impossible to get out of it without scars, not physical scars… you know what I mean. And that's why I'm here, to help you and be here for and with you. Just because I want to. I really like you Rebecca, you already know that. I'm always telling you, and I'll keep on telling until the end of our days." Then he kissed her.
Rebecca felt all warm inside. He was there for her, she wouldn't be alone. Not anymore, not with him. After this thought she fell asleep. She couldn't hold the sleep anymore.
Stefan stayed awake for a few more minutes but then he also fell asleep.
In the morning, nobody got up. Everyone stayed in bed until lunch time, and they deserved it. When the hunger was more than the will to stay in bed, Caroline got up dragging sleepy Klaus with her. They drank two blood bags each and then they went upstairs again, to his room.
"What are we going to do today?" Caroline asked, her voice was all sun shines and rainbows, it didn't looked like she got up like half an hour before.
"Let me tell my brain that I'm already awake and then we'll talk." After saying this Klaus lay down in bed again.
"Oh, no! You're not going to sleep again! We already lost half a day, we're going outside, interact with other people and most off all, we're not going to be slaves of the bed!" She had an amused tone, but her face was trying to look frustrated. She wasn't getting much success.
"It's too late! I'm a slave of the bed since I was born!" His face was turned to the pillow, so his voice was muffled by it.
"Are you serious?" She sighed dramatically and then said "I guess we can stay and sleep a little more or…" She putted her sexy voice in this phrase.
Klaus turned his head and opened one eye. Caroline approached the bed slowly and Klaus turned completely staying with his back turned to the bed. He had a malicious smile and was wide awake now. Caroline pulled him until he was seated.
"Oh good, you're completely awake. Then we can go outside. Come on, put your clothes on and let's go." She started laughing because of Klaus's stupefied face. Priceless. Then Caroline kissed him and jumped to the bed.
