They were different kinds of pain and most of them were known to him through the centuries.

The pain of having your parents hate you.

The physical pain of being bitten.

The loss of the things you crave all your life.

The fear of being betrayed by your friends and family.

The pain you brought on yourself moved by your impulses.

The desperation of being alone never having another person to hold your hand in all this moments and whisper comforting words in your ear.

His whole life was a vicious circle of pain.

But nothing could compare to what he felt as he watched his brother burn.

When he heard his screams and felt him fell to the floor never to rise again.

Losing a brother that despite all you loved made something inside him break.

A fire of pain and rage consumed his whole body.

He was gone, like Henrik.

He couldn't protect him, he failed him.

He remembered how the werewolves tore up Henrik while he was unable to help him and now Kol had fallen because he hadn't predicted their plan.

He had died thinking he hated him that he wanted to kill him.

Killed by mere children that he could not even kill because of this fucking spell.

The moment it wore off he would kill them all, hell help him he will slaughter the whole town.

If he could not save his brother he will at least avenge him.

They will beg for death as he removed every inch of their skin slowly hearing their screams.

Only death and blood could feed his soul now.

He stood there all night near Kol unable to tear his eyes from his body.

And then Tyler came trying to gloat for a victory that wasn't even his.

He sounded quite arrogant now that he was trapped inside unable to reach him.

Even as a human he longed to fight with him and tear his heart from his chest but now he could satisfy himself by watching his pain as he described his mother's death.

Cause making people as hurt as him was reducing his own pain and that was all he ever wanted.

suddenly he heard her footsteps, Caroline was coming.

She stormed inside and instantly he felt his broken pieces trying to collide again and the fire turning cold.

He cursed himself, for the effect she had on him.

''Hello Caroline.'' he said his voice soften but she averted her eyes immediately trying to shut him off.

He had a nerve using that soft tone with her when Tyler was there and after all he has done.

She was there for Tyler she reminded herself.

She tried to make him leave from here but she saw that he was determined to stay here and enjoy every moment of Klaus's misery.

So she persuade him to help her at least hide Kol's body.

I mean Klaus was forced to be in the same room with his corpse all night.

Even though he didn't deserve any favour she felt that it was cruel for anyone to be forced to watch his brother dead body and reminded every minute that he was gone.

That could drive crazy any man and Klaus was already damaged enough.

When Caroline spoke about Kol he was on the verge of wanting to shove her against the wall for calling him his brother horrific and thanking her for covering him.

But the moment they hide him from his sight he felt tears in his eyes but he hold them in.

He wouldn't cry in front of them, he would never show his weakness to them.

But he was tired of hurting.

He felt a kind of closure when Kol was out of his sight.

The only thing he wanted was for all to end, to go back to Rebekah, to his home.

''Tyler's mother is dead and so is my brother. We're even. Call Bonnie, get her to let me out of here.'' he said and looked at Caroline cause if he was being honest he was doing this for her too.

He looked at her like she was his last drop of water in the desert, like he was his hope.

''I would never, ever help you.'' she said angry that he was even asking her this after all the things he had done.

Her tone and words was like a punch at his stomach.

She from all people was telling him this?

He had saved her so many times even risking his survival for her and he has been nothing but kind to her.

God help him, he had even felt guilty when he took his revenge on Tyler because of her.

Did none of this matter?

''How quickly you forget the part where i saved Tyler for the misery of being a werewolf or the night your mother invited me into her home to save the life of her precious daughter.''

''How delusional are you?'' she said because he was a fool if he though that some kind, charming acts erased all the bad.

''You killed his mother and let's not forget that we are standing in a house where Elena's aunt Jenna used to live or you did you think that your charm will make us forget how you killed her too?''

He got his answer.

None of what he had done changed anything.

To all of their eyes, to her eyes he was nothing but a restless killer.

A monster without a soul.

Second chances were never given to him.

His father was right noone would ever love him, he did not deserve love, he did not deserve anything.

Pure evil was what everyone called him, incapable of feelings and that was what he was going to be.

''You know what no, i am not going to engage in this. You are not even worth the calories i burnt talking to you.''

Caroline continued unable to sense the change that Klaus's was going through.

She couldn't realise the effect her words had on him.

He had already a plan that will make Tyler pay for his mocking and threats in his life and the only thing that stopped him was his concern for her.

But with her every sentence she made him colder and colder and when she used the word ''worth'' her fate was sealed.

Cause that was his father favourite word when it came to him.

''Worthelss, you are not worthy of anything boy, this sword has more worth than your pathetic body.'' Michael loved this word.

So Klaus snapped when he heard it again and grabbed the first thing he found and shoved into her watching her eyes widen from shock and pain as he pulled her to his side.

Caroline was more shocked than hurt when he stabbed her.

She didn't expect him to do it.

She didn't expect that her words mattered to him so much that he was getting angry.

He didn't expect he would hurt her.

Then he pulled her to his arms and bite her hard and deep, drinking from her while he was grabbing her hair roughly.

She felt weak, everything darken around her and she fell to the floor.

The taste of her blood was divine.

It was light and rain like her.

He wanted to hate her but he still felt himself ablaze by the essence of her blood and her body pressing against his.

She fell to the floor and he sighed from pleasure and the freedom of being ruthless again.

He turned to Tyler with a smile cause now it was his time to gloat and pathetic sure now described Tyler not him.

''Now that was definitely worth the calories.'' he said still tasting her blood in his mouth.

She couldn't believe she was going through this again.

She has been on the verge of death a thousand times by now that she should just get used to it.

But if she was being truthful it was the one who bite her that hurt her most and not his bite.

Caroline thought that he wouldn't hurt her, that she had a power over him, that she was his humanity.

He had shown her another part of him only to destroy everything again.

She shouldn't be surprised.

Why was she?

That's who he was and probably their moments together meant very little to him when it came to his revenge.

She watched as Tyler begged him and hope bloom in her heart when he bite his wrist looking at him in the eyes searching for the man he knew before he had done all this.

He would save her, he couldn't go though with his plan.

She mattered but then every dream crushed as she realised he only did it to ignite Tyler despair and pain.

''No.'' he said and a part of her heart was lost in this moment.

A part that without her knowledge Klaus had claimed.

''Get me out of here.'' she said feeling every stupid, sick emotions she ever had for him vanish.

It hurt too much to stay here and watch him while he was sending her to her death.

He had seen his face so cold and emotionless before.

Was this the Klaus everyone else knew?

''I can't even look at him.'' she said and Tyler came to help her move away from him.

Klaus felt a new kind of pain he never knew.

His heart ached as he watched her leave and say that she couldn't look at him.

Was that guilt?

No, he didn't know the emotion.

He never felt guilt over his actions before.

They brought him pain and he has gladly given it back to them.

The only thing that could numb the pain was inflicting more to others.

He had learn that lesson well.

He heard footsteps again and turned to see that Tyler was coming towards him with Caroline in his arms.

Wy were they here?

Should they be in a room saying their ''epic'' goodbyes?

He laid her down and he did his best to not show what he was feeling inside.

He had no comparison he kept repeating in his mind.

Tyler let her down telling her that he should be the one to watch her die and leaving the house.

Was he stupid or delusional?

Did he just left his girlfriend to the person that is responsible for her condition hoping that he would save her?

Hoping that he couldn't watch someone die?

He had killed thousands and just spent his day watching his brother's dead body.

He could handle her even if she looked at him with those vulnerable eyes that made him melt inside.

''Nothing personal love but if i cure you that means victory for him.'' he said trying to convince himself that revenge was the most important thing.

''It won't be long now.'' he said and he found himself counting the minutes he still had with her.

Stop it! She means nothing!

''Thank you, that makes me feel so much better,'' she said her voice weak.

Why was Tyler thinking bringing her here?

He would never help her.

She tried to get up from the floor.

''What are you doing?'' he asked

''I don't want to die in the floor, thank you very much. I can at least be comfortable.'' she said and ignored the pain as she tried to move to the couch.

Suddenly Klaus pulled her in his arms.

His one hand was under her legs and the other one was clutching he shoulder.

They hadn't touched eachother like this for a long time from the day he saved her from Alaric.

And like then his touch was lighting.

A lighting that made her whole body come alive and started a fire inside her.

It was a mistake to touch her and he knew it.

But he couldn't help himself as he watched her trying to get up and failing.

She was going to die and he could at least give her some comfort, it didn't mean anything.

So why was he feeling like he touched a thousand suns when he held her?

Why did he feel like he didn't want to let her go?

He put her on the couch trying to avoid her molten eyes.

She didn't know why but the moment he left her she felt scared, the realisation that she was going to die hit her hard and he grabbed his hand.

She needed some comfort, someone beside her even if that someone was Death himself.

Klaus froze as she clutched his hand, holding into him like he was the only thing keeping her sane.

''Don't leave. Everybody leaves. My father left..'' she said and Klaus understoond that maybe the venom has started affecting her.

He kissed her hand softly resting his lips at her every knuckle while her eyes was closed and she was murmuring things he could not understand.

''Help him, save him, help him.'' she kept repeating and seemed to not realise he was here.

''Klaus.'' she whispered and he immediately disappeared from her side going as far as the stupid curse let him.

Cause he was ready to do it.

He was ready to heal her.

The closest she was to her the harder it become to stay indifferent.

Some time passed and she seemed to get out of her haze.

She opened her eyes confused and started looking for him.

He spotted him across the room looking at anywhere but her.

She was still dying.

''If you don't feed me your blood, I'll die.'' she said again hoping to change his mind.

''Then you'll die and Tyler will have learned his lesson the hard way.'' he answered coldly.

''How could you do this to him? To his mom? To me?'' he could at least give her the real reason all this was happening.

She was dying anyway, now she could say all the things she was holding inside.

''I'm a thousand years old. Call it boredom.'' he answered wondering why was she stll bothering with him.

''I don't believe you.'' she said knowing there was so much more in this.

''Fine. Then maybe it's because I'm pure evil…and I can't help myself.'' he said reapeting what everyone believed for him.

Evil and him was synonymous and as hard as he tried he could never change that.

''No. It's because you're means that there is a part of you that is human. '' she said because for an unknown reason she could see his real self.

He finally turned his head to look at her.

She knew all this was because of his brother's death she had seen his eyes as he looked at him.

The next words had escaped her mouth but she knew they were true.

He cared and that meant that he could feel.

That meant that he was not the monster he was trying to convince even himself that he was.

There was a part inside him that was good just undiscovered.

''How could you possibly think that?'' he said and moved closer to her.

He must have heard wrong.

After everything she couldn't still believe that there was humanity left in him.

Even Rebekah didn't believe that.

Why did she?

Why did she came in his life now?

And how could she understand him better than anyone?

''Because i've seen it.'' she continued as she remembered all his smile, the honesty in his eyes, the times he saved her, their dances, his words that touched her soul.

''Because I've caught myself wishing that I could forget all the horrible things that you've done.'' she really dreamt that they had met under other circumstances.

That they could have a chance, that she could save him, that they weren't enemies.

In another life he was all that she had ever needed, her other half.

She wanted to forget, he thought.

She prayed for things to be different as he was.

They both wished there was a way out, a way they could be together.

But there wasn't and Klaus did not believe in dreams.

Reality was cruel and pain was all he could really count on.

''But you can't...can you?'' he said already knowing the answer.

She looked at him herself not knowing the answer to his question.

''I know that you are in love with me.'' she said and the moment she said those words she knew they were true.

He loved her.

That's why he was different to her, that's why things that he craved all his life like power, the need to protect himself, his hybrids were a lot of times insignificant next to her.

She had gotten under his skin and there was no way to get her out.

She looked into the blue depth of his teary eyes and she understood that he only realised it now.

He tried so hard to be cruel that he didn't understood that he had fallen in love.

That he was already lost in her.

Klaus now knew what he was in the edge of understanding all evening.

All his question about why she was effecting him was answered.

He loved her.

She had cast her light and trapped him inside it.

He didn't know the exact moment she had entered his broken heart.

Maybe the moment she said him the truth about his father or when they laughed together or when she told him ''Thank you'' or even when she first entered her room to save her.

And now there he was a man who always claimed that love was weakness to feel a different kind of strength by loving this little blond vampire.

''And anyone capable of love is capable of being saved.' she said hoping she had more time to pull him under the darkeness and wipe the blood and pain from his soul.

Klaus felt his breath and heart stop at the same time.

He had waited a thousand years for someone to say those words to him.

Everything he done bad or good was to find someone who wanted to be with him, who didn't see him as a monster.

Someone who would erase his father words that noone cared about him and never could.

That would make him forget his sister's word that he was incapable of love.

Someone who would take his hand and save him for himself.

Some one who would lead him home.

It was too good to come true.

'' You're hallucinating.'' he said even though inside him he wanted to believe her words more than anything.

''I guess i'll never know...'' she said but she felt her insides starting to burn and her breath caught in her throat.

She felt darkness around her and he could only feel someone calling her name with a desperation in his voice like was losing the most important thing in his life.

Klaus watched her drifting away and he knew he couldn't let her Go.

Not now that he knew, if he lost her he would lose himself all over again.

His revenge didn't matter at all now, it was a distant memory.

All that mattered was her.

And that scared him more than anything in his life.

He picked her up and looked at the wound hating himself for doing this to her.

He bit his wrist and placed it softly into her lips praying it was not too late.

His breath was rapid when she stirred and started drinking.

He clutched his wrist hard almost breaking it while her other hand was almost caressing his knuckles.

And he started stroking her hair with such denotation like she was the most precious thing he ever held and she probably was.

His face was hard and full of pain from the terror of being in love of finding his weakness and his strength in one day but his hands expressed all his love for her.

She moaned from relief and pleasure as he felt his blood feeling her body and his hand creating patterns in her hair.

He chose her over revenge, he saved her.

Caroline Forbes everyone's second choice was more important to him than everything.

He touched him in a way not even his family could.

She released his wrist and they both felt the loss of the connection that had occurred from bloodsharing.

It was like separating one soul into two.

He still held her closely and she adjust her hand so it was resting in his chest and turned her face upwards watching him.

He looked down at her and he moved his face closer her lips.

To that day they still didn't know who closed the distance but they were kissing.

She was still in his arms her hands clutching both of his.

She trembled as he opened her lips and slid his tongue into her mouth.

He had never tasted anything better than her mouth as she hesitantly met his tongue with hers.

Oh God, it was heaven and he'd lived in hell for so long that he had forgotten the taste and feel of it.

He made her light-headed and breathless.

And he wanted her almost desperately.

Their lips was bruised from kissing but they didn't want to stop.

But Caroline was exhausting and she needed rest so he gently broke the kiss and he brushed her hair back from her damp forehead.

The tenderness of his touch calmed her down and she felt her eyes close.

He held gently as she drifted to sleep in his arms.

He soon followed her emotionally tired from all that happened.

But it was of the best night of their lives.

A night with no demons. No memories. No pain.
