"Father has a visitor in his office. She's quite a beauty." Damon commented
"I wouldn't let the urges take over you Damon." Stefan said
"I can't promise anything for her though." Damon said suggestively with a devilish smile to which Stefan rolled his eyes at.
"What do you think father is talking to her about?" Stefan asked
"I don't know nor do I care brother. I am hungry." Damon said casually before walking away
"Boys," Mr. Salvatore bellows, "I want to introduce to you Lady Caroline Forbes. She's Sheriff Forbes niece. She'll be staying with us for a couple of days while she settles into Mystic Falls." He explained
"I thank you greatly for having me." Caroline bowed
"No my Lady, the pleasure is ours." Damon said placing a kiss on her hand
"They were incredibly annoying people to live with." Caroline comments slouching back into the couch
"I wasn't the one who laid all of my clothes on the front lawn. I had to run around naked." Damon says
"Please Damon, you enjoyed it. You ran with a Cheshire grin while the girls blushed under the fans." Caroline says
"Well, I am quite irresistible." Damon says cockily
"You weren't a walk in the park Caroline." Stefan interjects
"I never said I was perfect sweetness. Neither were you." Caroline points her spoon at him
"So how long have you guys known each other?" Elena asks
"Over a 100 years too long." Caroline jokes
"Wow. That's a long time."
"Indeed. I came to Mystic Falls in intention to buy out some property and to research Klaus' origins. However, I ended up staying there longer than intended but as the years past people started to realize that Damon, Stefan and I were not aging so we moved to my other properties around the states." Caroline explains
"I still don't understand how you know Klaus." Bonnie mentions and Caroline emits a heavy sigh
"That's more complicated than the love dynamics of Stefan and Elena here." Damon says bluntly receiving glares from the two mentioned
"Subtle Damon." Caroline says sarcastically
"I'm quite curious about the story behind you and Klaus too." Elena says
"That's a story you are going to find out without me. I must meet Elijah." Caroline says
"Touchy." Damon says and Caroline smacks his head on the way out
"Elijah, I cannot do anything without my necklace. That is the key part to this operation." Caroline says in irritation, slamming her mug onto the table
"Caroline sweetheart, do you really want to do this?" Elijah asks
"You brought me back to do this. Are you seriously trying to talk me out of it Elijah?"
"I'm just making sure you don't do anything you regret. Because we know how you get when you are regretful sweetheart…"
"…Caroline." Klaus said cautiously at the erratic girl on the floor
"I didn't mean to…I was just so…hungry Klaus." She looked up with blood shot teary eyes clouded with pain
"Let go of the girl Caroline." Klaus said tugging on the dead little girl in Caroline's arm
"I wanted children Klaus, a family. A daughter to brush her hair and to listen to her trivial problems. A son to watch grow into a good man. I want to watch as the children play on the yard. I wanted a life." Caroline whispered
"We need to clean the room love."
"I massacred this family. I saw the fear in her eyes yet I still attacked. I'm a monster." Caroline said breaking down
"There, there sweet Caroline. You are not the monster here." Klaus said bringing her into his embrace
Elijah grabs his jacket before bidding his farewells to Caroline and making his way back to his home. Entering his abode, Klaus is lounging on the chair twirling a glass of a deep red substance. Elijah drops his jacket on the couch before sitting across Klaus casually, fighting the urge to smile at how much Caroline effect Klaus despite his attempts to hide it.
"Troubled brother?" Elijah asks
"Nothing that I cannot handle. I can smell her on you Elijah." Klaus mentions
"That is because I had lunch with her. She wants her necklace back Klaus."
"She has legs, she can get it herself no?"
"You two always were on for the games." Elijah says and Klaus smirks at the memories…
"Sweetheart, enough with the games. Give me my shirt back, it's getting cold." Klaus ordered
"You're going to have to get it yourself then Nik." Caroline said from behind a tree before running off.
Klaus scoffed before chasing after her. Her blond hair moved wildly through the woods as her laughter radiated throughout. He followed after her in this cat and mouse game they tend to play. Soon enough, Klaus caught her by the waist and felt the vibration from her infectious laughing exiting her seductive pink lips. She turned around and placed her hands on his rough rugged cheeks. A smile crept up on his face and before he was able to close the distance between their lips, she placed the shirt as a barrier.
"Caroline." Klaus said through the shirt
"Nik. Standing in the cold after a swim in the lake with no shirt will get you ill. That would be disastrous. Remember last time."
"Last time you stole my shirt too." Klaus reminded her
"And what fun that was."
"Can I not have my kiss Caroline?"
Caroline leaned in to his lips but mislead him, much to his dismay. She turned on the last second and placed a chaste kiss on his cheeks. He let out a groan and Caroline chuckled before running off into the woods again.
The Salvatore brothers enter the Michelson manor with intense curiosity to their sudden invitation to dinner with the Elijah. When entering the dining room, Elijah is standing around the table dressed elegantly and charmingly. Damon and Stefan exchange looks before cautiously walking into the room where they believe their demise has been planned. The occupants on the table all sat around the table before having dinner serve to them.
"Okay. Why the hell are we here?" Damon asks abruptly
"A small dinner between us would not hurt no?" Elijah says accepting the wine
"What my brother is saying is why are we invited to a dinner? You tend to have another agenda up your sleeves." Stefan says
"Where's Klaus?" Damon asks
"Don't sound to worrying, I may believe you've missed me Damon." Klaus says from behind before sitting himself beside Elijah
"How come we've known Caroline for more than 100 years and we still don't know how her Klaus met?" Damon notes
"When we first moved here, there was a girl of exquisite beauty. And none loved her more than Niklaus." Elijah explains, "She was the Chief's daughter and we grew up together. She became Rebekah's sister, Kol's entertainment, the root of Finn's irritations, my dearest friend and Klaus' lover." Elijah continues
"Now Elijah let's not bore our guests with these little details." Klaus interjects
"I'm sure they are interested in our past with Caroline, as you are of theirs with her. Is that not why you invited them here Niklaus? To find out what your Caroline was doing when she was away from you?" Elijah states.
"I'm surprised you let Barbie go." Damon remarks
"On contrary, she left without our knowledge." Klaus replies with a bitter tone, "But what is it to anyone? I'd like to hear a better story and find out how she became so endearing with the Salvatore brothers." Klaus adds
"What's there to know? She came into town and we clicked." Damon says
"She helped us. She taught us to control our emotions and urges. We owed a debt to her. She kept us sane and less lonely." Stefan adds
"Yes because centuries with your brother would drive anyone insane." Damon comments
"Try a thousand." Elijah says
"Better question, why did Blondie leave you?" Damon asks
"You're rather inquisitive today." Klaus says
"I'm rather curious myself." Stefan says leaning back into his chair
"It's certainly none of your businesses." Klaus states coldly
"Let's just say loving Klaus for centuries drove her insane. Especially when his obsessions would alter between different girls. Poor Caroline's heart could not take it."
"Elijah. I think you're story telling is enough for the night." Klaus says sternly
"Throughout the whole time she was with us. Not once has she even given another guy attention. She never wanted to admit it but her heart always belonged to you. Damon and I could see it. Now here's my question…Why did you shatter her heart to a million of pieces?" Stefan asks
"You heartless beast!" Caroline shouted throwing a candle holder at him
"Caroline love, calm yourself."
"I will not calm myself Niklaus!" He winced at her calling him with that name, "You murdered her family! You are a monster! I hate you!" She yelled boldly
He sped towards her and pinned her to the wall, roaring at her to express the anger that rose in him. "Get yourself off of me now!" Caroline shouted shoving him off
"I am leaving you Niklaus." She stated grimly staring at him with teary eyes
"I've offered you everything and this is how you repay me?" Klaus said angrily
"You made love to her! You made love to Katherine in the room next to mine! Do you not think I cannot hear? How is that giving me everything Niklaus! You promised me the world and dreams. You did not promise me a life of hell." Caroline yelled
"But it is you that I love. Do not leave me Caroline!" He yelled
"If I stay any longer I will be destroyed!"
"Don't you dare leave."
"Are you honestly threatening me right now? You've become consumed by power Niklaus. Do you not see it?"
"Caroline—"
"No Nik. You've taken my life away. You've broke my heart. You've broke me." Caroline said in tears, "I am not staying here any longer."
"I will tear this world apart just to find you. You cannot run from me Caroline." Klaus says demonically
"Maybe so. But I can try."
Klaus feels a sudden pain arising from his mind. It became excruciating and he could feel his whole body burning up to extreme levels. He falls to the ground screaming in pain. He could hear the clicking of heels and sees a pair of black heels standing in front of him. Blood is running down his ears and glancing up he sees Caroline standing over him with a smirk on her face.
She ceases the pain before kicking Klaus, sending him flying across the room. He groggily gets up and she is crouching down to be at eye level with him. She has a mocking pitiful expression as she strokes his jaw line, wiping the blood before licking it off her fingers.
"It's a shame I cannot kill you right now. Because that would mean the others would have to die. And they don't deserve to die because of your heartless actions." Caroline says
"How did you?" Klaus says confusingly
"Doesn't my necklace look lovely on me? It feels great having all my powers back." Caroline chimes
"Elijah." Klaus growls
"I merely hosted the dinner brother. Caroline devised the whole plan herself." Elijah says
"Looks like Miss Caroline Forbes is back." Caroline says in a sing-song voice.
