A Portrait for Caroline

Chapter 12

Caroline's irritation rose as her feet started to hurt from the heels she was wearing. When she first became a vampire she thought pain would lessen a little bit, she never knew how annoying and more intense the pain would get, but she chose to ignore it. Klaus was finally agreeing to let her have a little fun and she really couldn't wait for this night to really begin.

When they finally reached their destination Caroline rolled her eyes.

"Out of everywhere you could have taken me you chose a bar. Seriously."

Klaus rolled his eyes as he took her hand leading her into the bar,

"This isn't just any bar, It's mine. And after the night you've caused I thought we could both use a drink."

Caroline sighed as she dragged her hand out of his. There was no way she was going to be manhandled. She had had enough of that over the years and she wasn't going to accept it now when she was without her humanity. She sat down at the bar and sulked as she contemplated what to order. If she was going to be stuck here she might as well have a little fun.

She called over the bartender and gave them a smile. It still hurt to do that, but she would do it anyway.

"What can I get for you?"

"Let's have a little fun. Can I get a four horsemen please."

The bartender eyed her carefully.

"Are you sure a little thing like you can handle all of that?"

"Trust me you really don't wanna challenge me right now. Now get me my damn drink before I can show you what this tiny little thing can do."

The bartender rolled their eyes as they made Caroline her drink. He slammed it down on the table and left to go take the next order. Caroline smiled as she downed her drink. One good thing about being a vampire is that she got all the perks of getting drunk without all of those annoying side effects. She smiled at that slightly and downed her drink. While she was contemplating another someone sat down next to her. She expected it to be Klaus, but instead she was surprised that it was another girl who had sat next to her.

Caroline took the girl in carefully feeling a certain pull to the girl. Almost as if she had seen or heard about her from somewhere, but how. Caroline looked over the girl and smirked. Caroline of course was ten times more attractive as this woman, but she had a few redeeming qualities as well. Caroline thought if she wasn't as old she would be a spitting image of herself. She did have the blonde hair and green eyesd thing going on as well.

Before she could think of anything else, the blonde girl spoke.

"I haven't seen you around here before. Who are you?"

"I'm an old friend of Klaus's."

Caroline ordered another drink as Klaus sat down on the other side of Caroline. The other girls facial expression changed as Caroline smiled. Ah Finally some real fun. She always felt bad for this with her humanity, but now she could be shame free.

"How are you doing?" he said looking at Caroline.

Caroline laughed flirtatiously as she put her hand on Klaus's knee.

"I'm better now that you're here."

Before Klaus could say anything Caroline kissed him making sure that the other blonde hanged around enough to see a real show. Klaus pulled away giving her an annoyed look as the girl cleared her throat.

"I'm sorry I didn't realize I was interrupting something. I better get going." she said leaping from her stool.

"Cami-" Klaus said but the girl he called Cami had already came and gone.

Klaus turned on Caroline shooting her daggers.

"What the hell was that about?"

"Oh I was just having a little fun. Besides she seems way too plain Jane for your taste. I'm much more fun."

"Seriously Caroline. Grow up."

Caroline sighed as Klaus left to go talk to some more friends, so much for having some fun. This night was turning out to be a total bore.

She ordered another drink and then spun around. She smiled a little to herself as Hayley entered the bar. Looks like her night had just taken a turn for the better. There was no way someone would ever threaten her and get away with it. Especially not a little bitch like Hayley Marshall.

Taking her drink, she strode towards Hayley with the biggest smile on her face.

"Hey Hales. " she said.

Before Hayley could reply Caroline threw her drink in her face and slapped her.

"I'll kill you" Hyaley said charging to Caroline.

Before she could reach her Klaus stopped Hyaley and gave Caroline a restless look before dragging Hayley off to talk her down. It was a shame though. Caroline was looking forward to a good fight. Why the hell was Klaus helping her anyway. Caroline slipped outside of the bar and roamed the streets of New Orleans. She always hated being bored out of her mind and maybe a walk around the town would make her more entertained.

After a whole hour of doing absolutely nothing except sight seeing, Caroline finally returned to the manor and kicked down the door as she made her way upstairs to Klaus's room. All she wanted to do was sleep before she had to return to her boring college lifestyle, but unfortunately fate had other plans that night.

Caroline slipped into Klaus's room as she saw his sleeping in the bed. Caroline sighed happy that she avoided an argument. She knew she should have probably found another bed, but his just looked so comfortable and he looked oh so sexy half naked.

Her thoughts raced to the time they slept together as she got naked. He hadn't touched her that way ever since and she had to admit that she missed it. She needed to be in this bed tonight. She needed to feel his touch again. No matter if she drove him crazy. There had to be a way she could feel without feeling. Klaus had done it a hundred times. Maybe he could teach her.

She sighed climbing into the bed and cuddling closer to Klaus. She expected this to go a lot of different ways what she didn't expect was for Klaus to flip her over and put his hand over her throat eyeing her with an untold amount of rage.

"What the hell are you doing?" she gasped trying not to gag. That would show weakness and there was no way she would do that in front of him. There wasn't a chance in the world.

"What the hell am I doing? What the hell are you doing? Do you know how much trouble you've caused for me tonight? You almost killed someone you barely know, you probably ruined any chance I had with Camille, and you provoked Hayley when she did nothing to you. Do you know how difficult it was to talk her down from smearing you all over that bar floor? Do you? Answer me!"

If Caroline was in her right state of mind she would be looking up at Klaus with fear, but all she did was laugh. It was just too funny.

"Wow. I remember when you were a lot more fun."

Klaus let her throat go in frustration as she laughed again.

"I guess moving to New Orleans and having a daughter with wolf girl made you soft."

"She's more of a woman than you'll ever be. "

Caroline stopped laughing and moved in closer to him. She knew he wouldn't be able to resist her, no matter what he tried to throw at her. She knew he still loved her deep down. That was the problem with emotions. They were just too complicated. Which is why she was glad that she didn't have any.

Smiling she kissed Klaus on the lips as he tried to push her off, but like she had stated before there was no way in hell he could ever resist her. In a matter of seconds both their clothes were off and they were kissing each other all over. For someone who had been trying to choke her to death just a minute ago he was sure being gentle now.

She clawed at his back as he finally gave her what she had been yearning for since she came here. She had to admit he was just as good as last time if not better, The first time they had had sex it was rushed more urgent, but now they could just take their time and she actually enjoyed herself without any emotions. She sighed. She couldn't stay here with him. It would be just too easy to switch it back on, but she couldn't do that. She couldn't bare the unimaginable pain that she would be in when she did.

When they were done, Caroline waited until Klaus fell asleep before slipping out of the bed and putting back on her clothes. She slightly packed the rest of them before looking at Klaus one more before leaving. It was time to go home and return to her semi normal life. No matter what waited for her when she got there.
