Chapter 6

A/N: This is an AU story for the vampire diaries. I do not own the vampire dairies.

"I fancy you," His words rang in her head from last night. She didn't understand why of all people he liked her. Camille had been right. But what was she going to do.

Flashback:

She stared at him. Here he was having just confessed his feelings for her. Was he serious that he felt this way about her? She wasn't sure.

"Is that so hard to believe?" He asked.

"Yes," She scoffed.

"Why? You're beautiful, your strong, full of light," She looked at him. "I enjoy you." She bit her lip.

"Well I'm spoken for." She lied. He raised an eyebrow.

"I thought I had heard that you weren't."She cursed.

"Well, whatever." She turned away. He cleared his throat and decided to change the subject.

"You know horses are the opposite of people. There loyal," He paused. "My father hunted me down for centuries and the closest he came was the day he killed my favorite horse. He savored its neck as a warning." She looked at him.

"Well have you ever considered settling down and talking it with your father?" He shook his head.

"My problems with my father were much worse than yours." She nodded.

"True, but at least you had some way of seeing him or even speaking a few words to another." She said. He looked at her. She didn't know his father he was much worse. But he could understand what she meant by this. The way she talked about him and how she seemed to raise herself on her own seemed as if she were lonely. Almost like him. She thought about how he seemed to be dangerous and through Davina she learned that he had done a lot in his past. "And to answer your question is yes I do like horses. But I also like people. And they happen to like me. So I will be inside."

It was a little later when Klaus found her once again. She wasn't surprised when he did. She looked at him before sighing. He explained that he wanted to show her something. She wasn't sure if this was some trap or something but she went with him despite that she knew he was dangerous. Sometimes she was stupid. They walked into a more private room where hardly anyone was. She looked at him. But he didn't pay attention to her. He stopped when he was in front of a wall with a painting on it.

"You wanted to show me something?" He didn't look up at her when he spoke.

"One of my passions." He confided. She looked at the painting of a beautiful landscape.

"Oh wow, I take it as the curators at the Louvre aren't on vervain." She smirked almost a little playfully. He chuckled.

"Well that's there mistake." He said. Caroline looked to the jewel box that held a bracelet inside on it.

"And what about these? Where did you steal these from?" She knew she might be getting herself into trouble. But she really wanted to see how dangerous he was. Despite that she had heard such things. Sophie had said he was dangerous but also that he had some sort of reputation. And killings everywhere. So why was she getting a different side of him from what others described as death and fear.

"That happens to be a long story but rest assured was worn by a princess that was almost as beautiful as you." She rolled her eyes and looked away and noticed something. She glanced to another portrait on the wall and noticed the name. Klaus Mikaelson.

"Wait a second," She said. "Did you do this?" She asked. He turned to her.

"Ah yeah, actually one of my landscapes is at the hermitage not that anyone would notice." He said. She gazed at the drawing of the beauty of the trees and sun that were inside.

"Have you been?" He asked.

"I have never really been anywhere, but Mystic Falls and now here." She explained.

"I'll take you," She raised an eyebrow. "Anywhere you want. Paris," She shook her head. "Rome," She looked at him as if he were silly or something. "Tokyo," She chuckled.

"Wow, it must be nice to just snap your fingers and get whatever you want." She turned to him. She had to know these things; she wanted to know why people called him these things. "Is that why you happen had most vampires serve you. Some sort of servant army." Klaus looked at her suddenly serious.

"You're making assumptions." She turned to him.

"Then why? Just learn to give people their freedom and stop taking it away." He was cursing Sophie. He knew that she would tell her things. He found that he wanted to hide that part of him from her. He didn't know why but he did.

"This has been fun, but I think that it's time that you go." She looked at him and finally could see it. She saw that for a split second his mask was broken. She had got a glimpse and was able to see it.

"I get it your father never loved you. So assume that no one else will. And that's why you kill, compel or buy them off. But that's not how it works." She could see why his only so called friend was Marcel because they seemed absorbed in their ways of blood, death and power. "You don't connect with people because you don't even try to understand them." And with that she stormed out of the room leaving a shocked and slightly hurt Klaus. He didn't know why he felt it. But she seemed to be able to take him down with harsh words. But it was only her that could say them. It seemed as the girl had more power over him than he thought.

Caroline had walked into her room and took out the picture of her once perfect family. Her father and mother smiling on either side of her when she was a little girl. She was smiling and everything in that moment seemed perfect and had been captured there. But it was only at that moment. She undressed and changed into her pajama's before finding something on her bed. It was in a jewelry box. She opened it to find a piece of paper rolled up. She opened it planning on throwing it away when she stopped and stared. It was a beautiful drawing of her and a horse faded in the background. She had never seen something so beautiful. She looked at the bottom.

Thank you for your honesty,

-Klaus

She blinked twice. If there was anything. She saw it then and there. There was something that others didn't see about this man. This man cared and he wasn't inhuman as others had said. And from this moment on Caroline knew that this only brought her closer to the man that had such a reputation of being dangerous.

Flashback ended:

Caroline sat up finding her journal lying on her lap. She looked down having written everything the previous day of what she had done, seen and felt. She looked to his drawing that also was marked in her journal. She sighed and got up walking over to her bookshelf to hide it behind there. She looked at his drawing one more time and brushed her fingertips against it. It was Saturday and she felt relief to actually have a day off from work. She found her day occupied with chores and homework. Caroline looked down at her phone when it vibrated.

Hey want to meet at the pub for a girl's night?

-D

Sure, meet you there in a few.

-C

She figured she should go because she was board and had nothing better to do. She grabbed her purse and left to the pub. When she got there Davina still wasn't there so she decided to find herself a seat, sit and wait. As she made her way into the bar she found Klaus there. He sat at the bar with two other men. One that looked perhaps her age or a little older and the other looked to be in his mid twenties. Her vampire hearing suddenly picked up what they were saying.

"I remember her from last night, she looks like a tasty little thing." The younger looking man said.

"Say another word and I will tear out your liver." She rolled her eyes about to pass them and make her way over to another sit. "Caroline," She turned to Klaus and folded her arms across her chest.

"Oh, it's you." She said.

"Join us for a drink?" He asked. She looked at him and that at the younger man who raised his glass in encouragement.

"I would rather die of thirst but thanks." She said turning away. She had thought she saw hurt in his eyes but wasn't sure.

"Isnt she stunning?"

"She certainly looks good walking away from you."

"I'll take that as a challenge."

"Niklaus I must advise you to give the girl space if you want her to ever come around to you." Said another. But Klaus didn't seem to listen to him as he followed her outside nearly almost getting hit by a car.

"Caroline," she sighed and turned to him.

"Seriously?" She muttered. "Take a hint."

"Don't be angry love, we had a spat. I'm over it." She rolled her eyes.

"Oh well I'm not."

"How can I acquit myself?" She sighed and turned to him.

"You and your romantic drawings can leave me alone." His face seemed to drop slightly into sadness at her words but his mask was back up once again hiding the hurt.

"Oh come on," He said. "Take a chance Caroline," He tried to sway here. He sat down on the bench that was near the bar. "Talk to me." She stared at him. "Come on get to know me. I dare you." He said once again like the other night. And again he had dared her. How could she resist. She was trying to hide a smile at this but shook her head.

"Fine," She said sitting down next to him. She glanced to him. "So what is it you want to talk about?"

"I want to talk about you," She turned away shaking her head. "Your hopes, your dreams, everything that you want in life." He said. She scoffed before turning back to him.

"Ok just to be clear," He waited listening intently. "I am too smart to be seduced by you." He smirked.

"Well that's why I like you." She shook her head. They kept talking for the remainder of the time and Caroline noticed that Davina still wasn't here. She hoped everything was alright. Klaus's phone buzzed and he looked down at it. His face was suddenly serious. He stood almost slightly confused and she stood wondering what was wrong.

"What is it?" She asked. He looked at her.

"What did you do?" He asked. She looked at him confused.

"Nothing," He grabbed her by her forearms his grip like iron. Her arms throbbed in pain.

"What did you do?!" He asked this time more angry.

"Nothing, stop it." She said looking around to anyone that might be watching. He let go of her and turned to the two men that he had been sitting with. They walked up to him.

"Niklaus, we must find Davina Claire before Marcel does." Said the eldest looking man. Her eyes widened.

"Davina?" She said. They turned to her. "What's wrong is she ok?" She asked.

"Our friend Sophie was trying to talk to her and she ran off. And the problem is that her power is out of control. We need to find her and stop her from hurting anyone."

"Wait this doesn't make sense she was suppose to meet me here." She said. Klaus glanced to her.

"Perhaps this was a set up brother. Clearly someone has seen you have some interest in this girl. We should just kill her." The younger said. Brother? Klaus had a brother too?

"Kol." Klaus warned. The man named Kol rolled his eyes.

"Perhaps Niklaus they used her to lure you out." Caroline looked at them.

"And clearly it worked." The brother named Kol said. Klaus glared at him.

"Kol if you don't shut up I swear I will dagger you." Klaus threatened.

"Enough, we have to find Davina." Caroline said.

"Such talk for a baby vampire. I think I will rip your heart out quickly." Kol promised. Klaus shoved his hand into Kol's stomach and pulled out his liver. Kol groaned. "You always do keep your word brother." The other man in the suit face palmed.
