Just warning you that I may not be able to update for a couple of days as I have exams but I'll try my hardest!

Chapter 4

This night had to be one of the worst nights ever! Sure Elena was safe but Bonnie's mum was now a vampire thanks to Damon. It made Caroline remember what had happened to her own father, she hoped that Abby completed the change and didn't choose to die like her father had. On top of that she still felt guilty for what she'd done to Klaus and she was terrified that he would get back at her somehow for her betrayal!

It was early morning now, and by early I mean only around 2am! Caroline had cried her heart out since she had got home; her eyes were now dry and red. She sighed and made her way to the bathroom were she splashed her face to try and freshen up. She was just walking back into her room drying her face when she noticed someone standing next to her bed.

Please be Damon she thought and then almost laughed at herself, she couldn't believe she had just thought that having Damon in her room would be a good thing!

"Caroline" the voice said

Damn she thought, there was no mistaking that British accent anywhere.

"Klaus" she said warily, "what are you doing here?"

"You betrayed me love…" he began

"I didn't want to!" Caroline blurted out

Klaus whirled around and grasped her arms, Caroline gasped and waited for him to kill her. Instead she felt his finger tips caressing her cheek bone

"Your eyes are all red love, why have you been crying?" he questioned

"Bonnie's mum was turned into a vampire by Damon and…."

"And what sweetheart"

"And…I felt guilty for tricking you earlier" she whispered

Caroline couldn't believe she'd practically just apologised to Klaus! After all the things he had done to her and her friends and never felt regret for and here she was basically asking for his forgiveness.

Caroline shook Klaus's hands away from her.

"Its not as though you didn't deserve it though" she spat at him, her eyes hardening.

"There is so much you don't understand Caroline" he said sitting down on Caroline's bed and making himself comfortable.

"Get Off My Bed!" she shrieked at him!

"Worried you want be able to resist me" he smirked at her and then he let out a full blown laugh when he noticed the blush rising in Caroline's cheeks!

"Anyway" he continued "Things aren't as simple as they appear love. There is no bad guy and good guy, this isn't a movie. I am not 'evil' I am just trying to get what I want and you and your friends are just trying to get what you want. Just because people have different opinions on something it doesn't mean one of those people is bad and wrong!"

"But your way hurts and kills people!" she shot back at him standing awkwardly over him as he was now lying back in her bed.

"Collateral damage love, its to be expected"

Caroline couldn't think of anything to say to him, she just stood there gaping at him and thinking how outrageous his statement was! Suddenly she felt Klaus sit up and pull her onto the bed next to him so that they were lying side by side with his fingers encircling her small wrists.

"What are you doing?" she gasped

He ignored her question

"Have you ever killed anyone Caroline, you're only a new vampire so I'm assuming you must have lost control at one point."

Caroline could only nod at him

"Sweetheart you are so full of light and you're so pure but in many peoples eyes you would be classed as evil would you not? Same goes for me, I don't want to hurt people but to get what I want I need to, does that make me evil? I don't think so."

Caroline couldn't help thinking that Klaus was one of the most complicated and messed up guys she had ever known! However thoughts soon left her head when she realised they were still lying on her bed and somewhere during his speech Klaus had moved so that now he was holding her hands. He was drawing little circles into her palms with his long fingers but he stopped when realised Caroline was looking at him.

His eyes were pulling her in, the length of her body was now pressed against his, she could feel his body heat radiating into hers through their clothes. Klaus let go of one of her hands and let it drop onto his chest. Caroline couldn't help but splay her fingers out on his chest, it was so hard and strong.

Klaus tugged on her remaining hand and drew her eyes away from his muscular chest back up to his face. He looked deep into her eyes.

"I forgive you this time Caroline, but don't cross me again" he threatened softly

He brushed his lips gently over Caroline's own and she felt herself close her eyes but felt her body go cold and realised he had left again. Caroline rolled over so that she was lying on her back when suddenly her mother walked into her room.

"Caroline?" she asked "I just got in from a late night and I thought I heard voices, are Bonnie and Elena here?"

"No mum, it's just me" she found it hard to get the words out

"Are you okay Caroline? You look a little feverish"

"I'm fine mum; I'll see you in the morning okay"

"If you're sure" her mum said closing her door softly

Caroline continued to gaze up at her ceiling after her mother was gone; the sun was just starting to appear before her heart rate had finally returned to normal.
