A/N Thank you for the follows, favourites and reviews! Feel free to PM me any requests/ ideas! This drabble is all human and is based off this prompt: "Go on then, pull the trigger"
Klaus Mikaelson had one job. Assassinate Madame President Forbes. Then, his eldest brother Finn could take over the governing of America. Not that he wanted to, the President was an attractive woman but he owed Finn. Finn had managed to make all the charges on his record disappear for a price. And, that price was the pretty blonde woman currently walking across the road to her mother's house, Senator Forbes. Elijah had scouted out the area, Rebekah had seduced all of Madame President's bodyguards and Kol had disabled all GPS and CCTV for around 10 miles. All, Klaus had to do was grab her, take her to into the secluded spot that he and his team had agreed on and shoot her with his gun, naturally using a silencer. He quickly moved in like a shadow in the night. She was at the gate of her mother's house. He moved closer with a practiced air. Then, she turned around. He quickly hid amongst the dark shadows. Then, she continued. He grabbed her and muffled her mouth before unceremoniously dragging her away. He was fast, efficient and ruthless. She put up a considerable amount of resistance but he was much stronger and much more used to killing people. They reached the perfect spot. He took his hand away from her mouth and stuffed it with cloth.
"If you goin kill me" She mumbled fearlessly through the cloth as he tied her hands. She was unafraid of this stranger. She had long resigned herself to the fact that she was most likely to die in office given her controversial, political opinions. He was probably some trigger happy dick who hated her stance on feminism. "Do it quick"
Klaus was impressed in spite himself by her ferocity. He pulled off his face mask. He saw no fear in her deep, expressive sky blue eyes and instead an acceptance and serenity. He briefly lowered his gun. He pulled out the cloth in her mouth. "Don't scream" He warned her. She was gorgeous. Her blonde hair was perfectly coiffured and he felt an urgent desire to run his hands through it and muss it up. He could see hints of curves in the swell of her tits under her white blouse and in the tailored, skinny black suit trousers she wore. He felt himself throb with desire. "It's almost a shame to kill you, love" He said with an air of remorse. And, he meant it. Killing such a beautiful woman was so wrong. He raised his gun.
"Go on then, pull the trigger" Caroline said as she looked straight into his eyes. They were ocean blue and heavily guarded for they gave away nothing. She widened her gaze. Under other circumstances, he would be attractive. He had tousled blonde hair and a devilish smirk but she felt attracted to him. Her heart raced with adrenaline as he moved the gun towards her forehead.
Klaus stopped for a moment. "You know, sweetheart. I don't want to kill you" He said in a regretful tone. And, he didn't. Though, his brother Finn may abhor Caroline's stance of race and gender equality, he had thought that she was doing a good job. "Give up your Presidency"
"No way" She spat out angrily. "I would rather die"
Klaus put the gun to her temple. "Then, love, you die" He made to fire the gun but he couldn't. Something about this woman captivated him, her fiery words and willingness to die. Her fearlessness. He couldn't kill her for being something he himself would be.
"Aren't you going to shoot me then?" Caroline taunted as she saw him hesitate. "Or, are you not man enough, Klaus?" She emphasised his name. "I know Finn Mikaelson has sent you to do his dirty work" She had just realised who he was, the criminal brother of her staunchest enemy and opposition, Finn Mikaelson. "What did he promise you?"
Klaus realised he had options. Here was the greatest leader of the free world and she hated his brother. Probably as much as he did. He threw his gun to the ground. "He promised me immunity, sweetheart. Freedom from the charges that are stuck to my name" Klaus untied her wrists gently. "But, I won't kill you because I actually like you, love." He stepped back and let her free. "I'll testify and go to jail. Just promise to make Finn's life hell"
"Oh don't worry I will" Caroline's mind raced as she took in this handsome criminal standing in front of her. She had seen him so many times on TV and had always felt both fascinated and repulsed in equal measure. She moved towards him. "But, I think we can cut a deal so you don't have to go to jail" She stuck her hand out.
Klaus was astonished. He was a criminal who had just kidnapped the President of the USA and she was standing there with an amused look on her face and a twinkle in her eyes. "What deal?" He made no move to take her hand.
"A few statements about Finn's plan. A public confession of remorse for your deeds. Then, I'll announce that you saved my life" Caroline smiled wryly. "That should do it"
Klaus still looked sceptical. "Why are you being so nice to me, love? What's your game?"
"A, I want you and I to go on a date so B, I can figure out if I like you" Caroline wanted to get to know him better. She wanted to know the real Klaus without the labels hanging around his neck.
Klaus looked awestruck. Then, an idea began in his mind. "Well, we can get to know each other right now" He teased with a smirk as he moved closer to her.
"That's a great idea" Caroline beamed with a radiant smile. "I'm Caroline Forbes"
"Klaus Mikaelson" He introduced himself with a gallant flourish.
