Chapter 5

Caroline was on her 3rd glass of whiskey. She normally didn't drink; ever. She wanted to wipe Tyler out of her mind. Not just Tyler; everyone. She couldn't think about them. It would just make it hurt more. She no longer cared what happened to her. As long as her friends were safe. She guzzled down her 4th glass and put the empty glass back on the counter and turned and looked at Klaus, "How about we go get a real drink? What do you say?"

Klaus grinned as the words were coming out of her mouth, she was clearly tipsy; but rule number one, NEVER deny a hungry vampire blood. It won't end well for you. Klaus didn't even have time to object, he turned to reply and Caroline was already out the door. He drank the last of his whiskey and sat the glass down and ran after her. He didn't know why he was running after her, he could've just let her go; but there was something different about her. It was almost as if she had turned off her emotions. She no longer cared. She was a carefree, baby vampire. He hated to admit it to himself, but she was rather hot.

He finally caught up with her as she started to feed on a deer. *ha-ha* Klaus couldn't help but chuckle a little.

"What?" Caroline said with a slight bit of anger.

"You're feeding on a deer. Don't tell me Stef has you on the bunny diet," Klaus rolled his eyes.

"Just go away. You're an ass," Caroline said slurring most of her words.

"I thought you wanted a favor?" Klaus was beginning to get annoyed. He wasn't here to play games. He had things to do, people to kill. You know powerful hybrid stuff.

Caroline was silent. She continued feeding. Not caring whether Klaus left or not.

"If you change your mind, I will be at the Nashville Inn. I will be there until Friday." Klaus turned and left. He didn't look back.

The next morning Caroline woke up in an abandoned house somewhere in southern Tennessee. She couldn't remember anything from the night before. She got up and went the bathroom. Odds are this place has no water. She looked in the mirror. Her blonde hair looked uncombed and tangled, her makeup was smeared all over her face, she had what looked like dried blood on her cheeks and chin and her teeth were red. Her breath smelled of hard liquor. She was a mess. She walked back out of the bathroom into the bedroom. 'Where's Klaus?' She thought to herself as she made her way down the stairs. She couldn't find him anywhere. "Klaus! Klaus!" She shouted through the house. He must've gone to hunt. She went out to the backyard and found a creek. She quickly went and started washing her face. She definitely couldn't go in public with dried blood on her face. She might scare the townspeople. She laughed to herself at the thought of people running in fear once they saw her.

After she washed her face, she made her way towards downtown Tennessee. Her mind was flooded with thoughts. She was starting to remember bits and pieces of the night before.

*Caroline, Easy girl. Don't you think you've had enough to drink*
Klaus' voice! She was with him last night. Now if only she could remember where they went after the bar. Her head was starting to hurt, trying to remember. She came across a hotel type place; called The Nashville Inn: Bed and Breakfast.

'Why does that name sound so familiar?' Caroline wondered aloud. She decided to go inside and check it out. Maybe it would help her remember what happened last night.

The Inn was a white house; it kind of looked like ranch style home. It had blue shutters; and a blue roof. 'Tacky much' Caroline laughed to herself. She was hoping the inside looked much better than the outside.

She walked in and a lady at the front desk asked, "Miss, Can I help you?"

Car walked over to the desk, "Yes actually. You can help me. I'm looking for someone."

"Do you have a name?"

"Klaus…Klaus Mikaelson."

The lady began to flip through a book, scanning each page for Klaus' name. Finally she looked up and said, "He checked in late last night."

Caroline's eyes lit up, "What room number?"

"Room 17."

"Thank you Ma'am." Caroline made her way to the stairs and headed up to find room 17. As she approached room 17, she heard someone talking, she knocked and sure enough Klaus opened the door.

"Ah Caroline. So nice of you to join me."

She brushed past him and sat on the bed. "You left me last night, why?"

Klaus chuckled. "Well you see, you were feeding on a deer, a baby deer if I might add and I wanted something else so I left. You appear okay, so why are you mad love?"

"I came to find you because we had a deal."

"Ah, yes. I get you and in return I leave everyone you love alone."

Caroline nodded her head. Klaus walked over to her, "I'm sure you know what I want dear."

"What do you want?"

"I want you. I fancy you and I want you to be mine."

Caroline's breathing got heavier. "Why?"

"Because love, I fancy you." Klaus smiled as he heard her heart beat faster. He leaned in and gently kissed her on the lips and to his surprise she kissed him back and seemed to be enjoying it.

Caroline pulled away and headed for the door, "I need to eat," She said as she opened the door and closed it behind her.

Klaus kissed me and I enjoyed it. What is wrong with me? Why does he have to be so attractive? Caroline had so many thoughts running through her head, she needed to get out of this place.
