Chapter 5

Caroline got to the Mikaelson mansion and suddenly felt stupid. All of the originals were probably out of the house scheming or sleeping or something and there she was full of adrenaline for a shawl? They probably didn't even know who's it was, and there were probably a lot of things left last night, right? Right. She turned around and started walking away when the door opened behind her.

Shit.

"Looking for your shawl?" Caroline was not going to get used to all of the accents around her, and screw original vampires for hearing her from a mile away. She turned around and walked toward him.

"Yes, actually," Caroline said, turning back toward him.

"It's inside, I could take you to it if you'd like,"

"Sure, thanks," she said as she stepped inside and he closed the door behind her. "I'm Caroline,"

"Kol Mikaelson," he said with a smile. He leaned in close and whispered, "The best one, don't tell them I told you," he smiled as he looked up at the stairs, referring to the rest of the originals who must have been up there. Caroline giggled, maybe there really was another nice brother, one who was younger than Elijah but less confusing than Klaus.

"It's nice to meet you," she said as he took her hand and have her a gentle kiss on her fingers. She saw right through his old-fashioned behavior and took her hand back, continuing to walk in the direction they started in.

"So did you enjoy yourself last night?" Kol asked, realizing why his brother took an interest in this girl.

"As much as I'd planned to, yes. It was…interesting," she replied, trying not to sound too suspiciously weird.

"I saw you caught the attention of my brother Klaus," Kol mentioned as they reached the room they were headed for. It was a giant, maroon colored room with gold curtains that looked like part of a castle. Kol headed to the large walk-in closet calm and collected, while Caroline took a moment to take in the beautiful design before seeing that Kol was waiting for a response. He grabbed her shawl and started to walk back toward her.

"Yeah, well he's…" Caroline couldn't find the word to describe Klaus, especially without being too rude in front of his brother or too fond of him. Hell, she couldn't describe Klaus to herself, there was no way she could begin to describe how she felt about him to others.

"He's a troublemaker, Klaus. You'll want to be careful," Kol handed her the shawl and looked at her with eyes like he was trying to be extra attractive, but it was obvious, and Caroline had to fight the urge to laugh.

"You're one to talk, brother," Caroline turned to see Klaus, but Kol was still facing Caroline when he replied.

"Niklaus," he slowly turned to face him and soon they were close, looking like they were about to kill each other. Caroline was stuck there looking at them like they were about to fight in a duel. "I guess I should leave you two," Kol said, turning back to Caroline and facing his back to Klaus. "It was such a pleasure, Caroline," he said with a smile before walking back upstairs. Klaus watched his brother and Caroline watched Klaus, so confused about what just happened before she spoke.

"Okay, well now that I have this I'll be going," she said starting to turn away.

"Caroline, wait," and that accent she was already starting to get used to. It was like music in her ears. No matter how much she wanted to hate Klaus, she would never tire of hearing his voice. "You should see the garden," and with that she stopped in her tracks and turned back to him with a surprised look on her face. "What is it?" he asked, and she took a few steps closer to him, all the while keeping a safe distance.

"You actually have a garden?" She pictured a flash of her dream where they stood dancing, and she could practically feel his breath against her again.

"Yes, actually it's quite beautiful, you'd fit in nicely," he said in that charming voice that he took way too much pride in.

Caroline didn't seem to acknowledge his comment and he looked a little disappointed that his tricks weren't working on her.

"Did you have anything weird happen to you last night?" She asked, hoping for a hint that maybe he was behind her dreams.

Klaus walked closer to her and this time she could feel his breath against her. "Besides feeling faint at the sight of you in that dress?" he spoke so softly it was almost a close whisper, "no, nothing." Caroline could feel him almost touching her and they held their stare before he spoke again. "This is an interesting new look for you, by the way," he said, looking her up and down. Caroline remembered how she must look homeless in her pajamas with her hair up; at least it still had a little bit of a wave in it, so she looked presentable.

"I ran over so fast, I didn't have time to-" she saw his eyes looking at her with wonder and she broke their stare, thinking to herself that it didn't matter what she looked like. Hopefully she did look like a homeless man, then he would lose interest in her. She stepped back from him and started backing toward the door.

"Don't take that the wrong way, you're beautiful as always," he said and she laughed.

"Oh my gosh, okay it's time for me to go," she said, opening the door to the next room, not realizing it was a bathroom.

"It's this way, I'll show you," he said, leading her to the door.

"No, you know, I'm good, I remember," she said, seeing how big his smile was. He was still looking at her like he was last night. Why wasn't he backing off by now?

Klaus flashed in front of her, opening the front door. "Until another time, then, sweet Caroline." He said, giving her that same deep look like he saw right into her soul.

Caroline swallowed hard and nodded, then disappeared fast. Klaus stood there, smiling to himself before he closed the door.

Caroline opened the door to the Salvatore mansion and handed the shawl to Damon.

"It's about time, and why did you hang up on me? Don't take your frustration out on me, Caroline!" He started to say louder so she heard him before she was gone, but she was out the door just as quickly as she came in.

Caroline got home and went on with the day acting like nothing had happened. That night, she couldn't get Klaus out of her mind. She knew she was supposed to hate him, but she could indulge in liking the way he adored her just for the night, right? It didn't matter really whether she wanted to hate him or not, though, because she found that she couldn't stop smiling either way.

Little did she know that just a few miles away, Klaus was laying in bed doing the exact same thing…
