A Portrait for Caroline

Chapter 11

Caroline sighed as she looked around the streets of New Orleans. The streets were alive here and she couldn't be anymore bored. So much for Klaus showing her a good time. If things didn't turn around soon she would have to take her entertainment in her own hands. And God help New Orleans if that happened.

Finally after what seemed like forever Klaus shoved a garnet bag at her as she took it in surprise. She sighed and looked at it puzzled.

"What the hell is this?"

"It's your outfit for tonight. Go ahead and out it on. I don't need you looking like a wreck on my streets."

Caroline rolled her eyes and went into the nearest room to change into her outfit. She was surprised to see that Klaus had really gone all out on what he wanted. He had given her a short black dress that reached to the top of her thigh and a pair of 6 inch black heels that some girls would die for. She put them on throwing her hair up into a pony tail If he wanted her to be sexy she would be damn well sexy for him. She'd be downright delicious if that's how he wanted to play it.

Sighing, she left the bathroom and walked across the street to where Klaus stood. She could tell that he was impressed as he should be. After all she was a hot piece of ass and probably the youngest he could get. She gave him one of her flirtatious smiles before walking away. She was starving and she saw a rather juicy pedestrian walking south. It was finally time to have some real fun without a care in the world. Well that was if Klaus decided to stay out of the way like she wanted him to.

She just hoped he wouldn't scare away her pray This one looked especially delicious and she couldn't wait to sink her teeth into something. She waited until they were in a dark alley and grabbed the guy sticking her fangs deep into his neck. That would sure hurt in the morning.

She licked her lips as she pulled away leaving the human dazed and confused. Maybe she would kill this one. Or maybe at least have a little loss in control. After all everyone had been a drab since she had turned off her humanity and at least now that she was away from her so called friends she could have a little more fun.

Caroline pulled her prey closer to her and ran her fingers through the blood that surrounded their neck. She gave them a devious smile and smeared the blood on their lips than gently licked it off smiling. Her prey looked terrified which was exactly the way she wanted it.

"Run." she said compelling the weak and measly human.

With terror in their eyes, the human started running as fast as they could. Caroline gave Klaus a slight smile before running after her prey. She had to admit that this person was fast but she was faster. Before the human knew it Caroline had snapped his neck and their body had crumpled to the ground.

Klaus rushed up to her and gave her a dissaproving look. She had broken one of his rules, but she didn't care. She gave him another smile as she started to drink from the dead body. Gathering up as much blood as she could possibly take.

Once she was done she stood back up wiping the blood from her mouth and looked at Klaus with challenge in her eyes. Since she had broken one of his many rules she wondered what he would do to her now.

He sighed rolling his eyes and grabbed a match from his pocket.. In one swift motion the body erupted into flames and she was pinned to a nearby tree with Klaus holding her hair by the roots. She had to admit this would be pretty hot if it wasn't so damn degrading.

"I should rip your head off and put you out of your misery right now. Without you're humanity, you're reckless and you Caroline Forbes are nothing without your control."

He let her go moving away from her as she regained her composure. There was no way she would trigger her anger and get her emotions back. Not after everything. Normal Caroline just wouldn't be able to handle that on top of the death of her mother. The very reason she was in this mess in the first place.

"What makes you think that?" she said straightening up her body to look as tough as he did.

"Because as soon as you flip your switch back on, which in time you will, trust me, than all your emotions plus the bad things you did will haunt you. Just know that whenever that happens, i'll be here to help you through it. "

Caroline blinked. What was with all this sentimental shit? All she wanted to do was have fun. Maybe Klaus having a daughter had made him soft. She didn't want that Klaus though. She wanted the old ruthless one back. She stepped up to him and leaned in close.

"Thanks for the offer, but that'll never happen." she said with a ruthless smile.

He shrugged as if he couldn't care less and started to walk away.

"Where are you going?" she yelled at his retreating form.

"To get some actual food, you're welcome to join me whenever you stop acting like a teenager whose throwing the worlds hugest temper Tantrum"

She bit her lip to hold back some pretty nasty remarks and followed him. She wasn't in the mood to fight and now that the vampire part of her had been satisfied she was craving some good old liquor to curve her cravings. After all if Klaus was going to be a party killer when it came to her feeding than she would entertain herself in some other ways.

After what seemed like forever, they finally made their way into a bar and she sat down on one of the stools. Sighing she looked at the bartender and sent them a smile.

"I would like a scotch on the rocks."

"Are you even old enough to be here?"

"Don't piss me off i'm not in the mood."

The bartender looked her over, but soon realized that fighting would get her no where and slammed the glass on the bar as she made Caroline's drink. Caroline sent her a forced smile as she slammed down the drink like a champion. After all Caroline was used to drinking away the things that were bothering her. Like her annoyance towards Klaus or her undying hunger to cause dystruction and myhem. She had to stay in control or else she would lose herself in the process. She had seen what happened to Elena, Damon, Stefan, and Enzo. She wasn't going to be like that. She wouldn't allow it. She would only cause destruction if it was useful and for right now she had no reason to be destructive, so Alcohol would be her best friend for quite a while.

Klaus sat down next to her and ordered a drink for himself plus another one for her.

"Bad day?" he said not really asking.

She rolled her eyes at him in slight annoyance and sipped on the drink he had ordered her. This one was a lot stronger and would probably knock any human on their ass. It was a good thing she was no longer human or else she had no clue how she would deal with all her issues.

"What do you think?"

"I think you're being a spoiled brat. I think that turning off your humanity was the stupidest decision you've ever made. I think deep down you know that you'll hate yourself for doing it later. Why delay the inevitable Caroline. Why not just give into the pain?"

"Because I'm not that stupid. Because i'm the girl whose mother died and I didn't even get to say goodbye to her. I'm not turning it back on Klaus. No matter what you or anyone else thinks of me afterwards."

"Fair enough. Bartender can we get another round over here!"

"What are you doing?" She asked giving him a suspicious look.

After all Klaus never gave up that easily and she wasn't about to go trusting him again.

"You obviously aren't going to change your mind, so why should I bother. I like you no matter what Caroline and if this is you now than I have no choice but to deal with it."

"Good." she said giving him the side eye and taking another shot.

"Now let's have some fun."

Caroline smiled and gave him a flirtatious look. He was suddenly starting to look a lot more attractive to her.

"So, uh, What do you do for fun around here?"

He gave her a smile and wiggled his eyebrows. Whatever Caroline had just done she had a feeling her night was about to get a lot more interesting.
