Chapter 4
It was night and Caroline was back in her blue dress from the ball. She was standing outside the Mikaelson mansion alone. It was quiet and she felt an odd sense of bliss. The moon was full and cast a beautiful twinkle of light around her. She saw a worn out, pale yellow flower land in her hand. She held it gently and kissed it, and with her touch the flower blossomed open into a beautiful big yellow rose and drifted back into the air with the breeze. As it floated away, Klaus came into Caroline's view. He walked toward her, wearing his black suit that highlighted all of his toned muscles and slim shape. It was barely light enough to see him, but she felt his touch as his fingers entangled into hers ever so gently but also with a firm grip. She didn't know why but she took his hand and felt oddly comfortable and safe following his lead. He led her away from the mansion, and she didn't look back. All of her thoughts and worries were left behind at the party. Instead she instinctively let him lead her to a patch of trees along a moonlit trail. They came around a bend to a large, beautiful garden. With every step beneath her, the earth lit up, and she and Klaus were suddenly surrounded by fireflies. The flowers grew with beauty as they walked past each patch of plants. It was still dark, but they were right where the moon seemed to light, as if it were just for them. The soft greens complimented by the bright and beautiful colors of the flowers and stones made Caroline's experience seem like a fantasy. Klaus was still holding her hand, never stopping to guide her toward the best part. In the middle of the garden was a vine-covered, white gazebo decorated with small candles. Klaus led her to it, and took her small waist in his hand as they started to sway. She felt the same comfort that she felt when she danced with him inside. Suddenly Klaus stopped, and as Caroline looked for a reason in his eyes, he slowly led his finger to his lip, gesturing her to keep quiet. He pointed back to where they came into the garden and Tyler was there. He was a wolf, but Caroline recognized his color and build. She turned back to Klaus and took his hand back into hers as they stepped off the back side of the gazebo into the forest. None of them had anything to fear in that wood, especially with each other by their sides. They ran together at ease through the trees to an open spot and they leaned against one large tree, touching shoulders. It had long branches with draping leaves that seemed to cover them. They were smiling and keeping their giggles to themselves when they glanced at each other, their faces so close that if they were any closer their foreheads would've touched. Klaus moved in front of her and put his hands on her waist. She looked into his eyes that were so genuinely human, and he moved a small blonde curl away from her face. Her hands made their way to his and she brought them down to their sides, never once breaking their gaze. He was looking at her like she was an angel, looking fully entranced, and she didn't know why, but it just felt right to be there with him. She was still leaning against the tree, and without even moving away from it, she urged him closer to her and kissed him. He was gentle at first, kissing her with a few short kisses. She closed her eyes, but she could feel a small smile grow on his lips as he continued showering her with the touch of his soft lips. He brought their hands up against the tree behind her, which seemed to cradle her body, making her feel like she was meant to fit there with him. He pulled away from her and looked at her with soft eyes, and she noticed that there was a hurt look to him now. He brought their hands down and started to pull away, but she moved from the tree and grabbed his wrist just before he was out of reach. He wasn't looking at her, so she cradled his face in her hands and touched her forehead to his. He opened his eyes and lingered for a moment before kissing her again, this time with more force. Klaus moved Caroline back against the tree and held her waist, starting to move his hands up while hers found their way to his hair. His tongue caressed hers and their mouths moved in a sort of unique unison, like when they danced together. Klaus' hands found the small of her back and he pushed closer to her, trying to feel as much of her as he could. She got the sense that he really knew what he was doing, he didn't want to take advantage of her like so many of the other teenage boys in her old world. Klaus was a man; he was a gentleman and he knew how to make her happy. His hands seemed to roam her body in all the right angles. He started to place kisses down her jaw line to her neck, and her head leaned back against the tree when she started to hear something in the distance. She tried to block it out and focus on Klaus but she couldn't. It was like a ringing in her ears, and it kept getting louder. Just as he looked up at her and caught her eyes again…
Caroline jolted up in her bed. She had to take a moment to gather her thoughts, trying to think why in the hell she would dream about Klaus like that. She was immediately annoyed, assuming that somehow Klaus had gotten into her head. She was about to race out the door with rage to confront him about it when she noticed that her phone was ringing. The number was blocked and usually she didn't answer a blocked phone number, but she wanted to distract herself.
"Hello?" Caroline said as she sighed, feeling overwhelmed.
"You sound irritated. Bad time?" It was Tyler's voice, and he sounded happier than usual.
"Tyler!" Caroline shifted her legs to the side of the bed and moved the covers off of her. "Where are you, are you okay?" She started to get ready for the day, hoping that he would be coming home today.
"I'm okay, but I can't tell you where I am. I just wanted to hear your voice," He said, with a change in his voice, obviously missing her. Caroline stopped and stood still for a minute, wanting to be there for him.
"I miss you too, Tyler." They were silent for a second. Caroline realized that he probably wouldn't be visiting very soon and started to climb back into her comfy sweats and v-neck. "Do you have any idea when you'll be home?"
"I don't know, Caroline, I'm trying to break the sire bond with Klaus and it's harder than I thought it would be. It might be a while…And Caroline?"
"Yeah?" Caroline said, knowing what was coming…
"I'm sorry about your dad. At least he's in a better place," Tyler said, not knowing that Caroline hated when people said that. She didn't want her dad to be anywhere else, she wanted him home. But she knew that Tyler was coming from a good place, so instead she replied normally.
"Thanks." She was starting to fight tears. They talked for just a minute more before Tyler had to hang up. He told her how he was getting help from someone in the town who had experience with werewolves, so he wasn't hurting anyone while he changed. It was a lonely goodbye, but Caroline knew that he wasn't going to be able to talk to her forever, so she let him go.
By this time, Caroline had eaten and had her coffee and she was holding her purse and keys ready to go, not caring that she still had on sweats and slippers, but she soon realized that she had nowhere to go. She sighed, dropped her purse on the table by the door and dropped down on her couch. As much as she tried to fight it, she couldn't help but think about her dream last night. It was like she didn't have control of what she was doing, but she would've done it all anyway. She was so peaceful and she so easily left Tyler behind to go have some weird make out session with Klaus? What was going on with her? She really needed to stop thinking about him. Just as she thought that, she felt her bracelet dangle on her wrist. She got so angry and she took it off and left it on the coffee table. She crossed her arms and started to think of all the reasons she could list why to hate Klaus when her phone rang again.
"What?" This time Caroline sounded royally pissed off.
"Whoa there, calm down, you're gonna need that energy when Tyler comes back," It was Damon. Him and his sex jokes, he just couldn't get enough.
"What do you want, Damon?" She wanted to waste no time. She just wanted the day to herself.
"Fine, all business, no play, I get it. Elena just wants to know if she can use your shawl from last night, she said she thinks that maybe-" Caroline hung up the phone and ran full speed out the door. She actually left her shawl at the mansion, talk about a twisted Cinderella story.
She just hoped that she could get it before anyone noticed…
