Later that day, Caroline learned that the girl that was always stationed outside of her door was named Leah. Leah was concerned with Caroline's lack of blood. "Just go to dinner. You only have to be there long enough to get some blood, and then you'll be set for days." Caroline thought this over. She wasn't going to last much longer without blood. "Ok. I guess I'll go to dinner." Leah smiled and left to tell Klaus.
"She wants dinner?" He was surprised that she had lasted this long without sustenance. "Prepare the hired help for dinner." He didn't know her favorite blood type so he would just have to offer them all. I expected Leah to make haste to do as I told her, but she lingered. "Why are you still standing there? I told you to go!" Leah looked at the floor. "Sir, I don't think that she would drink from anyone. Not willingly at least." Klaus would have to figure a way to go about this without making her uncomfortable. Not like he cared if she was comfortable or anything. He shook his head, hoping it would shake away the strange thoughts. "I'll take care of it." He told Leah.
"Please follow me." Leah requested of Caroline an hour later. Caroline was weak, but managed to make her way to the dining room. She saw her Klaus waiting for her. He held out his arm for her. She didn't want to take it, but she stumbled and he grabbed her. He led her to a chair and pushed it in for her. As soon as he sat, two humans walked into the room. One was carrying a tray filled with glasses. He placed them in front of Caroline. The other was a young woman. She walked over to Klaus and offered her arm. Caroline downed one of the glasses and stood. She turned to leave but Klaus was suddenly in front of her. "Where do you think you are going?" he demanded. "I would rather not stay and watch you kill that poor girl." She stated with venom in her voice. "The way I eat offends you?" he stated more than asked. A smile broke onto his face, and his dimples appeared. "I wouldn't want to offend my. . . Guest." He led her back to the chair and waved the girl he had been drinking from away. As soon as she exited, more drinks were brought in and sat in front of him. He drank slowly, gazing at the blonde that was avoiding looking at anything in his direction. He knew that she had to be overwhelmed with thirst, but she only sipped at the blood before her. After about half an hour of this, she stood again. She looked at the ground and mumbled a small "Thanks." She turned to leave, and this time, he didn't stop her.
With anyone else, he wouldn't have had such patience. He wouldn't have wanted them to be comfortable if it got in the way of what he wanted. And he had wanted to drain that human girl of blood. But he was alone in this house. Normally he could at least compel some vampire so he wouldn't be alone. He could compel Caroline. But he didn't want to. He wanted to be wanted. And for some reason, he wanted to be wanted by her.
She had been surprised that he had given up on draining the human. She knew that he was a monster. So why would he have any qualms about taking what he wanted. Could it be because he didn't want her to see him as a monster? Caroline quickly tossed that thought aside. Monsters didn't care how they looked to anyone. She just had to remember all the harm that he had done. He would never be able to love. He obviously had no regard for humans. And because of this, she would be trapped here until the end of time.
Sorry this is a short chapter. I just wanted to have some kind of interaction between them. Just incase you didn't notice, Caroline doesn't think that there is a possibility of him loving her. Please review! And thank you Musicalfreak. You are always an inspiration.
