A Girl worth Living For
Chapter 4: The Beginning
" I can't believe your taking me to New York" Caroline said as she eased into the leather couch on the large private jet. Of course he would have his own plane, he got everything he wanted. She thought she scoffed at the idea.
" Its not a big deal love, you deserve so much more and I can take you anywhere you want to go, all you have to do is ask" he said shutting the door and sitting next to her.
" have you really been everywhere? There is not one place you haven't been?" she said eyeing him.
" Well I haven't been to Alaska, but I never really wanted to go not much for me to do I guess." He said cuddling up to her. As he head rested on his chest she remembered how she had woken up that mourning and that brought a smile to her face.
" what's going on in that pretty little head of yours, Ms. Forbes?" he said as he brushed her blond hair out of her face.
" just thinking about why you don't let anyone see you like this." She looked up at him.
"like what?" he said confused.
"like this, nice and comforting. You make me feel safe and loved like I'm the only girl in the world." She said with a smile.
" I only let you see me this way because it makes me feel weak and vulnerable. Like I have a weakness and I cant let people see me weak." He said tensing up at the fact like he could have a weakness. Caroline felt it and cupped his head in her hands and looked deep inside his eyes.
"It's going to be okay, we can keep this our little secret." She said pecking his lips ever so lightly.
"Thank you" he said with a small chuckle.
"What's so funny?" she said with curiously.
" just thinking, how all the times you shot me down and I stop then you come to me. What's change?" he said looking down at her.
"I don't know, every time you would appear at my window and tell me what you loved about me and what you saw in me that I didn't see. You would tell me about your life and your family when you were human and I kind of started feeling these feelings for you and I just felt special around you" she confessed.
"Caroline you are special, I don't know why you can't you see that. You are the most beautiful and strongest woman I ever met and I've met princess and queens. You are a vampire yet you are full of light, you never let dying stop you from being happy and keeping in touch with your humanity." He said still staring into her eyes.
"I can't help it, so many people have used me or left me, I can't come to the relation that someone thinks that I'm special." She said honestly, she knew that she had insecurities, but she never intending on telling someone let alone Klaus.
"What do you mean by used?" he said with curiosity, wondering who could hurt someone so nice and kind.
" When I was human, I was so jealous of Elena that she had Stefan that I was depress for attention so when I met Damon he used me . He compeled me so I wouldn't run and used me like I was puppet and he fed on me and then compeled me to forget and when I turned I remembered everything and was so angry." She confessed.
Klaus was furious at what Damon had did to her, he had made a note to snap Damon's neck when he got back to Mystic falls.
" and you still help him and treat him like a friend, after all that. Why?" Klaus questioned
" because I forgave him, I felt that if I didn't I would lose my humanity, because I would have kept my emotions bottled up and lashed out on the wrong person one day." She said.
" and when you said people left you. Who?" he asked
" my dad, he divorced my mom and left me with her, after that she started working everyday all day. My dad eventually found someone else, and stop calling. Then when he found out I was a vampire he tried to "fix me". He kidnapped me and took me ring off and would set me in the sun, until I could overcome the blood lust. I told him that I didn't drink from people, I used blood bags or animals but he didn't listen." She said as the memory of pain that day over came her. The tears started to fall over her cheeks. Klaus pulled her in closer and he brushed the tears off her cheeks just in time for the new ones to fall. She buried her face in his chest.
"I felt that he didn't love me, after my mom and Tyler came to rescue me. I felt like after him living and only coming back to torture me; it made me angry I wanted him dead; I almost let Damon kill him. I knew that was wrong so I forgave him." She said as she sniffed
"But Caroline you never truly forgave him, otherwise you wouldn't have this wall up that won't let anyone in fully, trust me I know." He said with a hint of a smirk.
"How do you do that?" she lifted her head.
"How do I do what?" he asked confused.
"Analyze people?" she said "you always know how people are."
"well, I don't do that with everyone, just you. We are the opposite yet the same, we both have walls up because of our insecurities. Yet Caroline you hide yours with happiness and truth and me I hide mine with darkness and despair." He said as he dropped his gaze to the floor. Caroline lifted his chin.
"Stop" was all she said gazing into his eyes.
"Stop what?" he asked confused
"Downing yourself, you can see the beauty in someone like me, but you can't find the good in yourself. If you dared me to get to know you I dare you to start loving yourself." She said with a smirk.
"Caroline, I –"he was cut off by her pressing her lips against his. She pulled away and spoke.
"Oh come on Nik, is the big bad hybrid scared of a little challenge?" she said with a smile.
"Love, I'm never scared" he said in that sexy British accent that sent shivers down her spine.
"Oh really?" she said giggling.
" yea, now get comfortable love we are stuck in this plane for 7 hours." He smiled.
1 hr pasted and they sat in silence, they stole glances at each other, as Caroline read a book on her phone and Klaus read a real book. Caroline thought that she was get all use out of her phone until he took it. Caroline let out a loud sigh; she slammed her phone down on the leather couch and stood up in front of him eyeing him.
"May I help you, sweetheart?" he said putting down his book.
"I'm bored." She said in whine like a toddler.
"And what am I suppose to do about that, love?" he questioned with that signature smirk of his.
"I don't know. For a guy that's trying to sweep me off my feet you're not even talking to me." She huffed and sat down on the seat next to him.
"What do you want to talk about?" he said sitting his book down.
"I don't know. Let's play better option." She said crossing her legs in Indian style.
"I never played" he said confused
"Really? He looked at him surprised "okay I give you two options and you pick the one you like better. I'll go first, vanilla or chocolate?"
"Ugh, vanilla" he said. "Tall or short?" he was beginning to catch on.
"Tall, blond or brunette?" she said already knowing the answer.
"I don't know" he smirked; she hit him playfully on the arm. "Alright blonds but you knew that" he said smiling.
"Yea, I did but I just wanted to hear you say it. Your turn" she smiled.
"Vampires or werewolves?" he said
"Neither had she said he looked at his eyes. He was confused and yet they stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like forever until Caroline broke the silence.
"I much prefer Hybrids, with British ascents and devilish smiles." She said staring at his lips then back to his eye. He leaned in and the kiss started off soft and gentle but as they deepen the kiss it became strong and forceful. Caroline grabbed the his neck and pulled him closer, he wrapped his arms around her waist and their tongues moved in unison. She moaned against his lips witch made him smile. They kissed like that for what seemed like forever. Until the pilot called over the intercom, then Klaus got up and went into the cockpit. She sat up and fixed her untamed hair and her clothes. She smiled at thought of what Klaus told her, that she must not worried about others before she worries about herself. Klaus walked back into the room where Caroline was with a smile.
"Okay love, we should be in New York in the next 3 hours or so." He said witch made her smile. He went to sit next to her. As she rested her head on his crest, she head his undead heart their hearts beat in unison. He wrapped his arm around her and stroked her blonde her, he was scared of one thing. His feelings for this one girl.
