enniec123 asked: Hiii, klaus gets called bc caroline turned off her humanity and hes there when she does the whole caroline quiz thing with tyler and matt


"Wrong again, Matty." Caroline was gloriously backlit as she pressed the heel of her boot to the quarterback's throat. Whatever he'd been expecting since that surprising summons from Damon, she proved to be infinitely better. "Did our past mean nothing to you?"

Klaus smirked at the insolent pout on her face, and he couldn't resist the temptation to play with this fascinating creature. He moved from the shadows of the foyer and leaned against the bar. "I don't know, sweetheart, I've always preferred to focus on the future. Yours in particular."

Her eyes narrowed, and she stepped toward him, leaving Matt to cough off her weight. "Whoever called you should have known better. And I'm surprised you even bothered, what with all that trouble you've got in New Orleans. How old is the little jelly bean these days?"

Hope was safe with the family. He knew that, and he knew Caroline was in no fit state to be reasoned with. This was a game to her, he just needed to figure out the rules so she didn't run. Regardless, he needed a drink. The selection wasn't high quality, unfortunately, so he pulled the least objectionable brand. Pouring out two shots, he offered the second toward her. "Poke and prod all you want, love, I can take it. Most vampires who forgo their humanity have a better attitude when a friend stops in."

Instead of accepting, her hand slipped past the small glass to snag the rest of the bottle. "I guess that depends. Are you the kind of friend that's going to let me have fun?" She drank deeply, her challenging gaze never leaving his.

"I'll do you one better," he promised, unable to do anything but flirt with her. Even without her human sensibilities, she was fantastic. "How about we have fun together?"

The humans on the ground complained, but Caroline positively beamed. He could just see the faint rush of blood beneath her eyes, her monster barely contained. "Now, that's more like it."
