A/N *unclicks the complete button* Okay. Wow. My mind is officially blown with how much you guys loved the first chapter! I have never gotten over 20 reviews with one update and with that, you guys have compelled me to write more. I don't know about this being a long fic or anything, but a drabble looks like it's on the horizon. I at least owe you all two more chapters after this. So thank you! For all who did the following:

Answer to guest reviews at the bottom. Enjoy!
*This chapter takes place after episode 5x12. Can't remember if he did or not, but to be safe, Tyler didn't tell Caroline about Hayley and the baby. She doesn't know...yet.
Caroline POV
"You're horrible person Caroline Forbes."
Even if it was a joke and I had laughed along with Stefan, begging for him to say that very thing, I couldn't help but really believe it now.
With every step that I take back to my room.
I remember Tyler's hurt face and anger, his accusations as to how I can "screw the guy who killed Elena's Aunt...killed his mom..."
I let out a strangled sob, covering my mouth before I vamp speed the rest of the way to my dorm, falling on my bed, momentarily feeling a wave of relief that Bonnie and Elena weren't back yet.
I cry my eyes out for what seems like forever. Drained, I strip off my clothes. Too lazy to put on my night clothes, I throw an over sized shirt on, hopping under my blankets, and tucking my hand under my pillow to go to sleep. When I do that though, I feel the now familiar cloth under my hands. I take a deep breath, already knowing what it is before I pull it from under my pillow and stare at my ripped shirt from when I had sex with Klaus.
I bite my lip, mad at myself when I pull it up to my nose to sniff it but I can't help it. I hadn't washed it on purpose, the smell of the both of us lingering on every seam from when we were embracing each other so tightly against that tree...God!
"What were you thinking?!" I hear Tyler's voice in my head again, seething.
That's it though. I wasn't thinking. Not rationally anyway.
The minute I saw Klaus again in those woods, I was everything but rational.
All I thought was that he was back. He was actually back after months without seeing him. After the harmless peck on the cheek that had me smiling like silly school girl during my graduation.
He was back, in front of me, wearing that characteristic smirk that was so KLAUS and scary to me at that moment, I realized that I had missed him.
I had missed that smirk.
I had missed the insanely attractive way he said my secret favorite phrase I loved hearing from his mouth. Just a greeting, but the sound of his voice made it sound like a benediction to my senses...
"Hello Caroline."
I close my eyes, reveling in the voice that wasn't there. Even now I ached to hear it again.
And so much more.
His touch, his body...
In a flash, I was back into those woods, our lips locking for the first time. Like a bolt of lightning, that moment lit me up, surged through me like a jolt.
It had felt incredible.
And really REALLY good!
How he held me, how he would growl when I licked and kissed those moles of his that called for my attention like those irresistible rasberry lips...
"Stop Caroline. Just...Stop thinking about it," I mentally scream to myself. "He's gone. GONE! And he's never coming back...
"I promise," he had said.
But like for the last week, 5 days, 2 hours, 45 minutes and 22 seconds since the "event" (Trust me. Nobody's counting!), once the replay started, it didn't stop. Because I was in his arms again, I was wanted, I was somebody's first choice.
It's my guilty pleasure, replaying every second of our lovemaking...
Yes, love making, even though Tyler would degrade it to an outright fuck, a screwing, but I knew better.
From the moment our lips touched to when we made out on that tree, (I won't lie that it started with the symptoms of a simple fucking) something changed when he laid me on that forest floor, his eyes closing every time I caressed him, sending a thrill through me to know that just my touch can make him look so content...
So peaceful...
So...human.
Not the Original, bloodthirsty hybrid that terrorized Mystic Falls, but something else entirely and hell if I knew exactly what that was. All I knew at that moment beyond a shadow of a doubt that the man in front of me was completely in love with me.
Nothing had changed for him since he left.
I saw it in his eyes, in the way he made love to me, in the way he said whatever it is he said as he filled me up so completely and we became one.
It was beautiful, whatever he said. It was some language I never heard but the way the words fell from his lips nearly made me come right there. It was melodic but powerful. It had me entranced under its spell, commanding to hang on every syllable that I didn't understand.
Those words made me feel safe, made me feel precious, made me feel loved.
When we blood shared after that, with him coming in and out of me so erotically that I was driven mad with lust, I knew that what happened between me and Klaus was special and far surpassing anything that Tyler and I ever shared.
Despite all that, Tyler was right.
Something was wrong with me.
I shouldn't have enjoyed it, I shouldn't treasure it, I shouldn't even be thinking about it! I should just stop. Just stop. Move on, pretend it didn't happen. Chalk it up to momentary insanity, stress of being a college freshman, being on the rebound...Yes! That's what happened to me. I was just hurt after my break up with Tyler and I was emotionally vulnerable and everyone else was having scandalous sex and that's why Klaus and I...yeah! Perfectly understandable. Forgiveable? That's another thing. But who cares? I had sex with Klaus. Big deal! I mean, it was good. It was REALLY good...
What the hell am I saying? It was mindblowing, incredible, indescribable...
WHO CARES?! It isn't going to happen again and if anybody asks I'll them as much and...
The chime of my phone indicating that I just got a text pulls me out of my mental rant
I look at my bedside clock that says 3am and I wonder who the hell is contacting me so late.
I grab my phone, frowning at it as I press in my passcode.
I open the text and I literally stop breathing.
Klaus:
I can't stop thinking of you sweetheart...
I just finishing rereading that text for the 10th time before it vibrated in my hand and chimed again.
Klaus:
I know it's late and you're probably asleep but I couldn't find rest tonight, oppressed with the thought of holding your body close to mine, wanting to go to you but knowing I cannot because you do not wish it of me...
I swallow back the lump of my throat, my heart aching from the vulnerability I feel leaking from every word.
Klaus:
I miss you...and I fear it might be the death of me.
Overwhelmed with feelings, I'm calling him. When I hear him pick up after the 5th ring wordlessly I realize my mistake. I shouldn't have called.
Cause I can't speak.
Not for awhile at least.
"I miss you too," I finally whisper, my heart skipping a beat when his accent, coming out heavier and huskier than usual, says, with a sigh:
"Caroline..."
"But I..." I cut him off, taking a deep breath to recover from the sound of yearning and desire I just heard drenched in every syllable of my name. I shake off the initial words I want to say: "Come to me. I want you. I NEED you," already hurting over the heartbreaking words that I DID say next:
"We can't do this. You have your life and I have mine. There is no point in holding on to one time in the woods. It meant nothing. It was just sex."
Silence. Then: "For you, perhaps," his voice was low and hurt but I can hear the underlying fury bubbling up that climaxes at the end of his next sentence. "But to me...to ME, it was EVERYTHING!"
I close my eyes, regretting the hurt I was causing him but knowing I just had to do this. We. There can never be a we.
"Klaus..."
"No! NO!" He bellows, nearly piecing my eardrums, making me wince. His next words are hushed, as if suddenly realizing how late it was, but the anger in them remains. "You DO NOT get to belittle this of ALL things! I will not allow it Caroline!" I hear him pacing furiously in the background. "You and I both know that what transpired in the those woods was far from fucking. How DARE you elude to it being such?" He hisses at me venomously.
"You're right!" I confess loudly, getting caught up in our vortex of raw emotion. "I DO know that! It was beautiful, amazing..."
"Then why..." he murmurs, confused.
"Because it cannot and will not happen again okay?! It was all types of wrong and you're you and what you did to me, to my friends..."
"They know."
I freeze, appalled he just voiced the problem out loud.
"They know," he continues quietly, "And that is why WE can't happen, why I can never make love to you again."
The pain I hear in his last words rips my heart to shreds, and I can feel that I just broke whatever heart the hybrid had. My eyes start filling with tears.
"Klaus...I'm sorry. I..."
"Forget it Caroline," his tone now hard and cold. "I have no interest in your pity or your pathetic attempt to exude a miniscule of caring towards me. Obviously, this was all one sided and I conjured the rest in my head."
"No Klaus!" My tears falling freely now. "You didn't conjure it! I..."
"Good bye Caroline. Don't worry. It will be like you never existed."
He hangs up.
Just as I try to call him back, I notice a breeze brushing my back.
Dreading what I will see, I turn around slowly, eyelocking with a pair of green eyes and brown eyes from my now open room door.
Elena throws a smirk at Bonnie. "See? Totally about that Klaus life."
"I cant.." Bonnie blinks rapidly, shaking her head. "I can't believe it. It's TRUE?! You had sex with KLAUS?!"
I jump to my feet, emotions on overload, my blanket dropping to the floor. "YES! DAMN IT! I HAD SEX WITH KLAUS! AND I LIKED IT! NO! LOVED IT AND IT WAS WONDERFUL AND HE LOVED ME AND..." I choke back a sob. "Now he hates me!" I collapse on the floor, hating myself for crying again tonight. Through my tears, I see my ripped shirt that I was still holding in my hands, bringing it up to my chest tightly as I cry harder and harder. I feel Bonnie and Elena come to me, comforting me, but all I can think of is the hybrid whose heart I had crushed so carelessly.
Yeah. You're definitely a horrible person Care. Not just for sleeping with Klaus but for being a cold, heartless bitch as well.
When my sobbing subsides, Elena and Bonnie pull away from me. Bonnie rubs my back soothingly, yet staring at me like I'm a complex puzzle.
I give her a watery chuckle, "What?"
"You..." she shakes her head, smiling, squinting at me slightly as if to look into my very soul. "You like him."
I sigh, wiping my tears from my face. "I don't know what I feel," I confess tiredly.
"Well. Who cares? We know how he feels about you," chimes in Elena. She mimics his accent, making me laugh when she puts a hand over her heart, as if reciting Shakespeare. " 'You and I both know that what transpired in those woods was far from fucking! How DARE you elude to it being such?' "
I shove her playfully. "Shut up 'Lena."
"Wait," Bonnie says, eyes wide. "Klaus said fuck?"
"Well fuck-ING," answers Elena with a smile. "But the point is that the big bad really cares about life sized Barbie.."
My runs cold, computing quickly that Elena would never call me Barbie, my smiling falling from my face before she says:
"...Isn't that right Bon-Bon?" She says, her eyes narrowing dangerously at me, not looking at Bonnie.
Oh shit.
Bonnie realizes our mistake too late. Her head is already slammed on the dorm room floor, rendering her unconscious. Still shocked and too fast for me to react, I feel the prick of a needle, puncturing my throat.
She pats my cheek in mock affection as my eyes start to droop.
"There, there little vampire," she says soothingly like a mother to a child. "Auntie Kat is going to take good care of you."
I fall on my side, hearing the ringing of a cell phone. Katherine stands up smoothly, picking up the phone just as my vision goes dark.
All I hear before the vervain overtakes all my senses is:
"I got her Celeste. Remember our deal. I'll personally be handing her over to you myself. I do have an old flame I need to see in good old NOLA anyway. Ta-ta!"
A/N Next: Klaus's POV and how he deals with yet another Caroline rejection. Possibly get into how Katherine is working with Celeste.
Since I promised to answer ALL REVIEWS:
Kakemann: I'm glad you loved the chapter! Lots of you like the "Old Norse" touch. If it makes a comeback, I'll probably alternate between Norwegian and the Icelandic since they are similar and close to the Norse. Just to have fun with it ;). I hope you are happy I continued this because you are one of the people who asked me to.
Guest: I'm making it into a drabble for now. If the support continues we will see about it being a full fic. Got some ideas for how it would look like if that happens.
Ilovetvd: I may have topped you in the amount of times I rewatched that Klaroline makeout scene. Even more so when I started to write the last chapter, taking all the facial expressions etc. in an attempt to get into their heads at that moment we all were waiting for. I had trouble breathing and keeping my heart beating when I realized they were actually kissing. Lucky you only had to deal with losing your voice ;).
Another guest: I'm glad you loved the Damon and Klaus phone conversation. I was wondering if I was going to get feedback on that. I secretly loved writing it so much! If you noticed, in the beginning of this chapter, I wrote Caroline reaction to Klaroline sex session as requested by you and others. Hope it was believable and you liked it.
tauruskch: So sorry. Heartbreak was what I felt when I got over everything. It must of leaked into that chapter.
Another another guest: Hope you keep reading to see where I take this since last chapter! Glad you loved it.
Another another another guest: thanks for enjoying it!
Another another another another guest: astonished that you thought it was realistic. Can't tell you how important that is to me when I write.
REVIEW! As you can see, I make an effort to reply to them, just as I know that you make an effort to leave them.
