Caroline begged that Elena let her stay over her house that night. Fortunately Elena agreed and didn't bother asking any questions why she wanted to stay over so bad. Caroline felt safer than she had felt in the last few days. Klaus couldn't get to her because he needed an invite in. Therefore she was safe, for the night.

She was worried though because she knew that she couldn't spend her whole life sleeping over her friend's house. Caroline didn't know what she'd do for tomorrow. In the end she realized it was a hopeless situation. If Klaus wanted her he would surely get her. As she lied on the ground in her sleeping bag Caroline tried to put the pieces of the puzzle together. Klaus said he knew her once before but that didn't make any sense. She had never seen him before this week. And he kept claiming that she belonged to him, which pissed her off. She didn't like being treated as a toy he could just play with.

Caroline also tried to figure out her feelings for him. Part of her was scared and terrified of him. She didn't want him to come anywhere near her. But there was that other part of her that longed for him. That part of her agreed so much that she was his. And to make matters worse, Caroline and Klaus fed off of each other forming a blood blond link, at least she'd figured that's what it was. A few times she'd hear his voice inside her mind talking to her. She wanted so desperately to make it stop.

But there was no way to make him stop. He was determined to have her. Hell, he already slept with her within a three-day time span. Caroline wasn't the type to sleep with a guy she hardly knew, so she knew his control over her was almost unbreakable. And it terrified her to have no control over her life.

She wondered for a second what it would be like to just accept things for the way they were. If she just let Klaus have his way she wouldn't be scared anymore. Would it be for the best just to go with the flow and be his? Caroline decided it wouldn't because in her heart she didn't want to die. She'd seen enough clichéd movies where the vampire stalks a girl he's obsessed with and ends up turning her so they could be together forever.

Forever was an awfully long time and Caroline knew she didn't want that. She wanted to have choices. She wanted to grow up and fall in love and have kids. She wanted a life. And if she surrendered herself to him, she could kiss her life goodbye because he would take it from her. No matter how good it felt when she was with him and no matter how wonderful his kisses were or how alive she felt when he made love to her, she knew she could never love him for he was a monster. And Caroline refused to be a monster like him.

It was two in the morning when Caroline woke from her sleep. She was actually pushed out of her sleep by Klaus. His voice from the blood bond told her to wake up. Caroline's heart thumped fast. She was safe. He couldn't get into the house. She was safe for tonight. Caroline tried to calm herself down but it was pretty much useless when his voice from the bond talked to her.

I can't get in. But you can come out.

Caroline felt defeat surround her as the bond forced her to get up from out of her covers and leave the house. As she left Elena's room tears spilt out. With each step she took her heart beated faster and her stomach churned. She reached the bottom of the stairs, knowing that this was it. Her choices were pretty much gone as she was forced to the door.

Come to me, my love.

She opened the doorknob slowly, prolonging the inevitable. Stepping outside, Caroline looked around at he surroundings. Klaus was nowhere in sight. She was scared that he'd come out of know where and would kill her quickly. Or would it be more dragged out? Caroline couldn't decide which option she liked better since they were both sucky.

The bond made her walk to the backyard where she found him standing next to a tree. With his vampire speed, Klaus was inches from her in a millisecond. Affection was spread all over him as he gazed at her. Tears were streaming from her eyes and fell like waterfalls down both of her cheeks. Klaus wiped them away as he kissed her on her left cheek. The touch of him made her sob harder.

"Don't cry, my sweet Caroline. I'm doing this because I love you."

"But I don't love you," she argued.

"You do. You just don't remember it," he sighed as he nuzzled against her ear. He hugged her, rubbing her back to calm her down. He let his fangs out and stroked Caroline's blonde locks out of the way as he bit into her neck as tenderly as he could. She first felt pain and then felt delight as he sucked the scarlet fluid from her. Her enjoyment of his bite seemed to take the fear away. She was lost in the ecstasy he gave her as she arched her neck. He gripped her hair lovingly from the back of her head as she clung to him, never letting go.

As he finished drinking from her, he brought his wrist up to his mouth and bit it drawing blood. He brought it to Caroline's lips as the bond told her to drink it. Her lips crashed onto the scarlet and sucked it into her mouth. She swallowed a lot of his blood as it kept pouring into her mouth. Klaus pulled his hand away and revealed his fangs again as he was ready to suck her dry. Then when she'd wake up she'd be a vampire. And more importantly be all his.

He nudged her down to the grass as he laid on top of her. He took in her appearance one more time before sealing the deal. Klaus bit her neck on the other side, making a fresh wound. He nestle his head there will taking every part of her in. He was about to finish her when he heard her voice break through the bond, which shocked him. He was surprised because he was only supposed to be talking to her through the link they shared.

Please don't kill me.

Klaus pulled away from her neck and looked down. Caroline looked pleadingly to him, which struck a chord within Klaus. He was taken aback by her begging him to spare her. Caroline got up the courage to speak without the bond.

"If I promise to be yours, will you please not kill me? I don't want to be a vampire," Caroline cried.

Klaus knew that was impossible. She had to be a vampire in order for them to be together forever. There was no other way. Still she was offering to not put up a fight. She promised to be his. He could work with that. If Klaus didn't turn her right then and there, perhaps in time he'd get her to love him. Then she'd have no quarrels about turning. He considered it and thought that he'd let her be human for a while. After all if she turned right now he couldn't drink from her like this again and she was too good of delicious treat to give up.

He asked, "You won't fight it anymore?"

Caroline nodded. It was the best she could do. She didn't want to die and he knew he wouldn't relent if she didn't promise this to him. She was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

"I promise."

"I want you to leave town with me. Do you accept this?"

"I do," she said leaning her face against his cold hand.

Klaus smiled lovingly at her and kissed her forehead. Caroline sighed in relief as he pulled away. His hand reached for her's as he entwined their fingers together. He kissed her hand and gave it a little nibble before focusing his intense eyes onto her kind ones.

"Tell me you're mine."

"I'm yours."
