For the first time in her life, she never felt more alone than now. Her optimism and free spirit started to fade like the autumn season slowly taking the colors of May which used to bring harmony and life to everyone. The reckoning coldness of the weather reawakened the grandeur of sadness that was deeply delved within her. The warmth of the sun suddenly was uninviting, as Caroline steps out of the porch, the euphonious autumn breeze that was once enlivening is now like iced glaciers pricking every vein in her body.
She walks languidly out of the porch and into her car. Her thoughts was abruptly interrupted as she heard someone walking behind her,
"Caroline?"
She refused to turn around as this was just the contrivance by the grandiose of sadness that has furiously grappling her to a bottomless pit.
"No, it can't be! My mind is just playing tricks on me. Tyler can't be alive. Klaus is dead." Klaus is dead were the words she can't seem to bury in oblivion. She brushed the single drop of tear that fell on her cheek and covered her ears and shut her eyes. But the veritable mirage of Tyler came closer and held her.
Caroline's heart skipped a beat and with wide eyes, she turned around and there it was right before her eyes a revelation of arrant impossibility and inescapable preponderance of questions.
"Tyler? Oh my God! I can't believe it's really you." She hugged him with an immensity of eternal longing and undeniable fondness. Her tears were endless and effusive with love and care.
"How could this be, how were you alive? Am I dreaming? If this is a dream then I don't ever want to wake up."
"If this is a dream love, can I do this then?" He gently cupped her faced in his hands and lovingly wiped her tears and smiled. His next motion was a complete surprise to Caroline and was quite unwieldy as he passionately kissed her. She was totally caught off guard and wanted it to break it but an indomitable force just kept pushing them closer and closer together. The reckoned nostalgia and genuine happiness fiercely dragged her to a proverbial memory. That ephemeral kiss which she kept believing was chimerical is now a reality. She never wanted to yield but she has this strange feeling that a sorcery or witchcraft is at work.
"Wait. Is this real?" She nudged him away from her. "I see you as Tyler but… very different. I don't know I can't explain."
"It's Tyler but what? You're kissing a different person? Who are you kissing then Caroline?"
Caroline was stunned, words can't seem to get out of her mouth. She furrowed her eyebrows and asked the strange materialized apparition. "Did you just call me love?"
"I don't know love, did I?"
"Klaus?" her eyes and jaw widened as this gallimaufry unfolded before her. She showed appetency for him as she facilely touched his. He reciprocated her heartmelting gesture as he inched closer to her and rested his face in her hand and held it with his own. He closed his eyes savoring every bit of emotion he harbored for this person he fallen madly in love for. His momentary joy was heightened as he slowly looked at her genuinely smiling at him. The indescribable longing and painful stares are just overwhelming, they were both speechless and they absolutely fathom that their being together is enough to relish this unearthed feelings they have for each other.
"Klaus how could this happen? Why are you in Tyler's body? It's a long story sweetheart. What matter's most is how blissful I am to see you." Caroline smiled and knew that Bonnie was behind all this, and what she did was very admirable and unselfish.
"Oh Klaus what should we do now?"
"I don't know all I want to do is get out of this body and be with you."
"Klaus everything's confusing right now and…Trust me the last thing they would want is for us to be together. I just broke up with Tyler and everything's a mess right now. I don't know what to do."
"Come on now love, you'll get through this. You're strong, Caroline. Believe me you are. "
Caroline laughed, "When will you stop playing that you're beautiful, you're strong card on me."
He let out an adorable laugh and held her hand and pulled her closer to him, "NEVER."
The perennial yet euphonious silence encapsulated them to a whole new different world. A world where their love prevails, a world where all they can think about is being together, a world where their hearts are as one, unbreakable like nothing could go wrong. But alas, reality harshly dawned on them pugnaciously heaving them to imbroglio and judgmental conflagration of scurrilous perceptions.
"What's wrong love?" Klaus finally asked.
She looked away and draw in what could have been the most unbearable sigh. Klaus was tormented by the detectable sadness on her face. He just wanted to assure her that everything will be okay, but though he may be the most powerful creature on the planet, he still can't give her the security she needs.
Klaus labored extremely to steady her eyes unto his but she wasn't acquiescing to his gesticulation.
"Klaus, it's just that these feelings are new to me. I don't know how to deal with it, to deal with everything especially with everyone." She said finally as she forlornly looked at the ground and slowly into his worrying eyes.
Still holding her hand, Klaus amusingly smiled at the beautiful woman standing in front of him. How he sincerely wished he had met her sooner, all the countless bloodsheds and power mongering will be blot out in the pages of history.
"Trust me, you will be fine Caroline." He slightly nudged her chin with his thumb and ever so gently he lovingly rubbed them. She let out a small smile , " What if it won't?"
"Then nothing else matters as long as I have you and you will always have me. I promise you, I will always be there for you for all eternity."
Caroline smiled profoundly and what she witnessed next was Klaus facilely perched his lips unto hers. He was bewildered by this bizarre fascination of kissing her while she's smiling, it totally caught her off guard but his kiss was sumptuous, warm and inviting and couldn't help but passionately melt with it. She ignobly wrapped her arms around his neck and his arms enveloped her waist, his touch gave her shrilling quivers down her spine.
The couple was perturbed when they both heard pattering footsteps coming toward their way. She dragged him inside her house and surreptitiously used the peek hole to be incognito to the unrecognized intruder, it was Sheriff Forbes. She shot Klaus with widening eyes and protruded her lips in the direction of her room, motioning him to go upstairs. Klaus being the alpha male teased her a little bit and kissed her luscious pouting lips. She was utterly repulsed by his insensitivity and sardonically smiled at him. She loved the idea of him never wanting to be away from her. She never felt that she has to prove herself to him. She was herself, and for the first time an actual guy genuinely likes her; not some rebound of Elena nor a supporter but because she is her.
