"This is great!" Yelled Bonnie happily as she pulled her into a hug with Matt.
Caroline was meeting up with her friends at the grill and had told them that Tyler had called to say he was coming home as he had broken the sire bond.
"What else did he say to you Care?" Bonnie asked.
"Not much to be honest, he was calling on a pay phone but he told me he would be back some time within the next couple of days and he told me he loved me"
Bonnie sighed at how cute Tyler was, Caroline just rolled her eyes and dug her in the side to get them to stop being so sappy. Laughing the friends found a table and were about to order something to drink when Damon showed up.
"We have a problem" he announced.
There goes my relaxing day with my friends thought Caroline whilst Bonnie questioned Damon on what was going on. Damon began telling them how Elijah knew Elena and Esther were up to something when Esther was binding all the originals together so he has kidnapped her and is threatening to kill her unless they somehow stop Esther's plan to kill all the original vampires.
They all ended up at the boarding house arguing over the best way to save Elena, they'd been at it for all morning and time was getting tight when Damon came up with the idea of staking one of the originals so that all of them went down and Elena could be free.
Caroline thought this was a great plan until Damon dropped a bomb shell on her
"You blondie will be distracting Klaus so that we can stake Kol."
Wait what? Thought Caroline! She didn't want to face Klaus after what had happened last time she had seen him!
"Why me?" she demanded "and anyway we don't even know where Klaus and Kol are!"
"Alaric is in the grill and has just texted me to tell me those two have just walked in and are sitting at the bar and as for why, all I need to do is look at your wrist…"
Damon trailed off leaving everyone else in the room looking at Caroline's wrist where the diamond bracelet glimmered ominously in the sunlight. Caroline could feel everybody starring at her and she could feel the heat begin to rise in her cheeks, she looked at the ground before snapping "Fine!" and storming out of the house to go and distract the hybrid.
She could feel his eyes on her the moment she entered the grill, she nodded slightly to Alaric to signal they had got his message. She straightened her back and walked up to the bar pretending she hadn't noticed Klaus and his annoying younger brother. She was silently panicking inside and really didn't know how the hell she was meant to distract him and get him out of the bar.
"Oh it's you" she said to Klaus bitchily when she couldn't ignore him anymore. She flicked her curls over her shoulder and glared at him.
"Join us for a drink?" He asked as he smiled at her and she could feel his eyes travelling over her body as he took in her tight jeans and top which clung to every inch of her body.
Caroline could hear her heart beat increase, she knew she looked good. She had felt the need to quickly change her clothes after she had left the Salvatore house and she was glad she had now. Not that she minded whether Klaus found her attractive or not she thought, she just needed a way to distract him and why not use everything she had to accomplish that mission?
After throwing another harsh remark she spun on her heels and sashayed out of the bar, she heard Kol making some comment on her and she also heard Klaus smirk and realised he was following her outside of the bar.
"Caroline!" He called after her
Caroline spun around to face him "Are you serious? Take a hint" she bitched to him.
He was away from Kol now, her job was done, she just wanted to leave and go home! But it seemed as if Klaus had other ideas.
"Oh come on, take a chance Caroline" he said, all the cockiness had left his face and it almost seemed as though he was tired of waiting for her to speak with him.
He slid on to the nearby park bench and crossed one leg over the other
"Talk to me, get to know me" He paused and raised his eyebrow at her "I dare you" he challenged.
Caroline could not believe this man, but she was never one to turn down a dare especially if it was from an infuriating ancient British hybrid!
"Fine!" she declared and sat down on the bench next to him making sure there was a clear gap between them.
Okay so this was slightly awkward she thought to herself as they sat there in silence. She was looking anywhere but at the man lounging next to her but she could feel his piercing stare burning into her.
"What do you want to talk about?" she asked nervously
She instantly regretted what she said, it sounded like what she had asked her very first date when she was 14!
Caroline looked up from studying her hands and caught the hybrid's stare, he moved closer to her until they were almost touching. Caroline could feel her heart beat speeding up and Klaus' smirk told her he heard it too. He leant in until his mouth was inches from hers.
"I want to talk about you" he murmured, his eyes never left hers when he spoke
Caroline felt like she couldn't breathe, her head was a whirl of emotions- guilt, fear and also deep down a feeling of longing. Now would be a good time to turn off her humanity! She thought to herself, except she'd tried to find the 'switch' that Damon was so keen on talking about before and she'd never been able to find it.
"Your hopes, your dreams, everything you want in life" he continued whispering to her.
Caroline couldn't help it; she let out a little laugh at the bizarre situation she was in! How could this be happening to her, for a start she already had a boyfriend, a boyfriend who would do anything for her and was coming back to town in a matter of days! Secondly, she was Caroline- the shallow, neurotic, control freak. Monsters were supposed to fall in love with Elena whereas Caroline either got used by monsters or wound up with Elena's leftovers.
"Just to be clear" she breathed "I'm too smart to be seduced by you." She was hoping that would be the end of it and that she could now make her way home to clear her head.
She started to get up from the bench only to find Klaus grasp her wrist where the bracelet was. His fingers played with the bracelet twisting it so that it shone, he smiled at her knowingly
"That's why I like you" he grinned.
Caroline couldn't help but smile back, when he smiled all the anger seemed to leave his face and he looked like a young boy who had just discovered the most exciting thing ever. She felt him pull her closer and couldn't resist flicking her eyes down to look towards his lips, she felt there breath mingle but when they were only an inch away Klaus rushed to his feet.
He stood there in shock for a moment before grabbing Caroline's shoulders his face was full of rage and Caroline was too afraid to move.
"What did you do!" he roared at her
Caroline tried to answer but her tongue was frozen, he roared at her again and she managed to choke out that she didn't know what was happening. He roared one last time before racing away from her back into the grill to see what had happened to his brother.
Guilt flared up inside Caroline as she realised that Klaus' eyes had been filled with rage but deep within them she had also seen hurt and betrayal when he had shouted at her. She felt tears start to build in her eyes, this is stupid! She thought, he deserved it after what he did to Jenna! But she couldn't help feeling that the look Klaus had given her was the most heartbreaking thing she had ever felt.
With a small sob leaving her body Caroline raced for the comfort of her own house and vanished into the night.
