Klaus stood near one of the trees as he watched Caroline moving in the middle of field. It had been almost a week, and Klaus didn't even get any proper idea of her. She learned to walk in these few days; Klaus understood that she completely depended on her wings and since one was damaged Caroline made use of her feet. She didn't talk much, lived in her head most of the time. Or she still didn't start trusting him.

Even though Klaus was more than curious to know everything about her, he decided to wait. He considered Meg's warning about fairies - the creatures which needed respect or else things might not go easily. Klaus wanted to roll eyes at that, but he knew a few things needed thorough scrutiny before he could properly decide.

He, then, watched her stretching hands, with her back facing him. Instantly he became alert when the whole environment started to undergo changes.

Unusual whirls of winds made leaves to surround her, and then a few amount of water appeared from nowhere. Suddenly there was fire too, in the form of circle around her.

Everything seemed so—surreal. All the elements of nature were revolving around her and then her wings appeared. For a moment there, he stepped toward while observing her feathered large wings. Both of her wings started to flap, created an intense field, which snapped Klaus out of the moment. If he had not mistaken there was a bit of glitter spread into the air from her wings. Also he tried to ignore the fact he had goosebumps on his neck.

In the next minute, everything went back to its normal self.

It seemed so calm and fresh by the time Caroline turned around with her white wings which were crumpled down to their original place.

And for the first time, she smiled. She did, actually. Her lips really widened and it didn't look like a formal smile. Her eyes shimmered with happiness while Klaus had no idea why.

He didn't see where that yellow rose came from. Probably it was magic, too. She stretched out her hand and offered that rose to him. Klaus looked between her hand and her face before he took it with a smirk on his face. "What's this for, sweetheart?"

But his amused smile faded after listening to the part she said. "For what you will do. For me."

"Let me get this straight." He started with a menacing look on his face, "You simply thought you can buy me with this flower?" Raising a brow he asked, "Really, you think that low of me?"

Caroline blinked at him. "You want more?" She asked with so much innocence which made him to chortle out pretty loud. As his laughter died, Klaus touched petals of that yellow rose lightly. Softness of each petal could melt his frozen heart, but then—

He stared up at her for a minute or two and watched as her lips widened into bright smile. "A confused killer you are. Not completely bad."

"Still I'm not going to help you, love." Klaus huffed, annoyed with the fact she settled in his mind. "Since you recovered now, I hope you will find a way back to fairyland or whatever."

"I need you, Klaus." Her words impeded his movements, his thoughts. The Original gave her one blank stare. Serenity spread on her face, though he could bet she had something troubling her. When Caroline took hold of his hand, he felt the usual tingles caused from her touch and it made him inconvenient. "Help me."

"With what?" he found his voice after almost a minute. He had to know what was bothering her because someone like her—a fairy—who was having powers of her own—would not ask for his help, unless she was so desperate.

"People? You want people?" Klaus asked in confusion at first. When Caroline said she needed people to get away from this world, Klaus quickly imagined she might feed on humans like him. He had to remind himself that as a fairy she would not do such things. Caroline watched him from the corner of her eye as he added. "Why?"

"To help." Caroline replied and took the yellow flower which Klaus placed on the top of his car. It seemed like the life of that flower was going down already. She, carefully, touched every dull petal that appeared fresh again. "See, I bestow life—" she closed the flower for a moment and displayed rotten form of it making Klaus to widen his eyes to the slightest, "— and I remove." Watching his expression she smiled lightly. "Give and take. A gift of me. Not like others."

"So you are having this unique gift?" Klaus muttered.

"Everyone is having unique gift."

"No two fairies are similar?"

Caroline looked up and replied after a moment. "Mostly. It depends on fairy." Klaus buzzed in response and fell silent. So she wanted to help people with her 'gift' and— His thoughts were obstructed by her words. "If I help humans then I am allowed to my place."

Oh?

"So, you were punished? It meant you did something mischievous." Klaus teased. "Tell me, love what have you done?"

"I will say when I trust you completely." Caroline declared, not glancing at him.

Of course.

But where could he find humans—suffering, actually? It was not like every day people walk into a place and get admitted…

Hospital.

Yeah, hospitals would have numbers that might help her.

"Where can we find this hospital?" she asked merrily.

Klaus gritted through his teeth. "When you will learn to keep yourself out of my mind?"


Klaus didn't think it was exactly good idea to bring an awkward fairy into the corridors of densely populated hospital. But then the fairy girl became gradually invisible for others.

Astonished at first, Klaus kept up with her—and her surprises as well.

She walked in the corridors as if she had known every inch of the place.

"So, what is your plan?"

No response.

In fact she moved ahead, and looked here and there.

"What are you searching for?" he was annoyed now. One or two looked at him as if he was mad for speaking to himself.

She managed to slip in the open rooms, in which he was not allowed to, and walked out with a smile on her face. He did not go inside because he was asked to remain out of it. Politely.

It irked him, nevertheless he did like she said.

Though, she had storm of questions coming in her way. Klaus was not going to leave her. She read him, and smiled in response.

At the end of the day Caroline found herself next to him in the car, delighted, while he drove them away without a single word.


"Something miracle happened in one of the hospitals." He prompted, slurped his drink. "People are healing faster than before." Caroline's smile was sweet and bright, as she put down some children's book of pictures. "Everyone at the same time."

"It won't work like that, Klaus." She replied, understanding his confusion. "I cannot make them run at one shot. They are not flowers. They will need time."

Twitching his mouth, he glanced at his feet. To someone like him, it was still a surprise.

"And I need energy." She added tiredly, got up on feet, and stretched her wings. The vase on table got hit and shattered on the ground, earned a glare from him. "I apologize for that." She gave him an awkward smile.

Averting his eyes from broken vase, Klaus muttered about her wings. "Can't you make them go?" Her blank stare made him roll eyes. "Okay, stay away from paintings, antiques. I'm particular about it." She did not respond, and he did not wait. He went to refill his glass. "About your energy—I can take you out tomorrow. Go and rest for some time."

Slowly he began to understand how she would function.

He was certain she left after listening to him. When he turned around she was in front of him, her wings tucked back. Klaus flinched for the unforeseen move. Her eyes shimmered, as she took his hands, and planted a kiss behind with bunch of tingles in the wake.

She said something in a language he could not understand. Then she added 'thank you' before retiring to her room.

But Klaus—poor old Klaus was shook and touched the spot where she kissed. Tingles, he began to like them.
